Yowza! Looks like I'm not the only guy trying to make a Sonic RPG. I've got loads of sprites in advance and battle forms, so I'll see what I have and will try to help ya.

Sigh...nobody understands me!

I never said I believed it, just heard it. BTW, I had an idea! If the prospect of having an RPG that is just sonic based doesn't appeal to you, then how about a cross between two series? Kingdom Hearts was basically a cross between Final Fantasy and Disney, so how about an RPG that is a cross between Final Fantasy and Sonic? Sonic and Co. could be, perhaps, summon creatures or special bonus bosses. How does that sound?

Thanks to everyone for your input. Many of the factors mentioned, like Ila's character type advice (Knux = Monk, Tails = Chemist, etc.) have long since been taken into account. I will admit that I did not even think about having Tails combine parts, like Rikku's Overdrive Mix from FFX. BTW, Ila, I wasn't going to change the names of items like you suggested (I.E. Potion = ring) but it does sound like a good idea. Magic, of course, would be named after abilities from SA2, Sonic Riders, and my imagination since there aren't enough abilities in SA2 or Sonic Riders to satisfy one RPG. (I.E. Slow = Chaos Control, Death = Asura's Wish, etc) In regards to RPG Maker 2003, it can't be illegal because I heard a rumor that Square Enix used it to create FF1 & 2 Advanced and FFIV Advanced. Then again, it WAS just a rumor. Unfortunately, I forgot where I heard it. The reason I did not post a screenshot is because I lack the approprate sprites. I've been trying to find good custom sprites of Sonic and Co in RPG format, but, since I cannot locate any at the moment, I am just better off using Sonic Crackers sprites like in Sonic MADventure. Although I'd hate to copy someone's work like that, it seems like the only alternative. Once I do aquire the necessary sprites or decide to use Sonic Crackers sprites, I will post an image on page 1 of this thread.

I've been working on a Sonic-based RPG called Final Fantasy Sonic Quest. Storyline: Basically, it's just another lazy day when out of nowhere Knuthole is under attack. The enemy forces are clearly Robotnick class robots, but these kinds of robots have not been seen for ages. (Old school Sonic 1 and some Sonic 2 enemies) Eggman's robots are much different (Eggrobos of all sorts). The battle style is just like a Final Fantasy RPG, and you fight off the robots with Sonic and Tails. As you progress, many will join the party including some old villians. Once I get the battle system working (I'm still looking for some Sonic character sprites in RPG form.) I'll be able to post a screenshot. Note: I'm not asking for anything other than people's opinions.
