Hi everybody. Hi, doctor Nick.
I was thinking about the idea of giving up and starting over the whole campaign. Well, not many games have something like that, so I value it a lot. I have never finished the currently existing chapters on ****, but I imagine, that after doing so, the second playthrough must get really boring. You know, you already defeated every stinking epic boss, hords of creeps and all that on the highest difficulty level. And you also get a "huge bonus" for when you start over, so it doesn't get any more interesting. It gets easier. There was even talk of eliminating professions, so that you don't have to think about such stuff. But this is a valuable part of the game, very uniqe in games generally. So, after you beat the game on ****, you can put it away for good and maybe wait for some bugfixes or, I don't know, anything. But I have an idea, that could make the game more interesting for those, who beat it on the highest level, or maybe even on extreme. I know it may be difficult to make, or even impossible, but that's the only reasonable bonus for finishing ****.
In every chapter, there could be a bonus area available, for those, who managed to do it. You could enter it via a bonus quest, and through a special portal, magical runes drawn on the ground, with help of a wizard, or simply enter a mine or a cave. This area should be extremaly difficult. You would enter it only after finishing all other non-main quests, with a maximum level and all most powerful items currently available. It should be so difficult, that even with those things you would have problems with survivng. There, as you wouldn't level up anymore, you would find more powerful items, item sets, synthesis items, bonus luck and honor and upgrades for spells, skills and espers - things, that would not change your chosen skills, only expand them with special effects. One or two quests, some bonus story and hard, long minigames would also be included. And most of all, a new, special boss, let's say a Legendary Boss. Those Legendary Bosses would be the most difficult enemies in the game and would drop even more powerful stuff. With this stuff, next chapters would be easier, so that you could focus on the new content - and the old content, except for main plot, would be skipable. These areas would only be playable on **** and extreme.
This way, the second **** playthrough would be a lot more crazy and interesting. I know it sounds crazy, and you probably think "this guy doesn't know, what he's talking about, we don't have time for this". Yeah, I already realised that. It's just an idea. After all, this campaign already beats every other game into a pulp. You said you would welcome every idea.
Well, thank you for attention.
