Reincarnation Emblem: The Basics

What is Reincarnation Emblem?

Reincarnation Emblem is a RPG Maker VX Ace project that crosses over Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem, somewhat similarly to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Unlike TMS#FE, however, it uses Shin Megami Tensei characters (namely the Main Characters of each game - here referred to as Futsuo, Aleph, and Demi-Fiend). It also takes place in Arachnea, not Tokyo, so expect to see more familiar faces.

The basic plot, as it is so far (admittedly, I've been focusing on the mechanics so far) is that there's a series of rebellions going on across the continent. As such, Marth sets out to help quell them. Along the way, he meets Futsuo - a foreigner with strange weaponry and a device on his wrist unlike anything in Arachnea. He's not the only strange thing popping up, either - unusual monsters have also been appearing, which Futsuo can somehow communicate with. Marth meets the figures spearheading both the sides of the nobles and the sides of the rebels - Aleph and the Demi-Fiend, respectively. Both sides seem to have valid goals... but perhaps there is something bigger pulling the strings?

The game uses a round-based battle system, courtesy of Yanfly Channel. Actually, most of this game is possible due to Yanfly Channel. Most of the mechanics and any related points will be as faithful to Shadow Dragon and/or New Mystery as possible, except for Wrys, because he's awful.

I'm open to any and all suggestions. Future blog posts will mostly focus on the mechanics of the game. It will, of course, be free on release, because I don't want Nintendo and/or ATLUS to have my head.

Until next time,
