I can give or take the FF7 remake and I'm still not convinced KH3 will be out anytime soon.

FF15 though I'm down for that

I don't think KH3 would be out soon - not when FF15 has been delayed for who-knows-how-long.
The demo that came with the Type-0 HD bundle looks very promising, that I can totally agree.

And speaking of KH3, do you guys have thoughts on the Disney worlds that you want to see in the game?
For me, no Marvel please. I know it will look awesome to have Sora and Riku alongside icons like the Avengers and all, but... *glances at Donald and Goofy* Nope.
Frozen is so overrated that I'm pretty sure fans will push Square to include that into KH3 with whatever it takes.
I do want to see Wreck-It-Ralph. A game within a game - that would be very interesting!

KH 3 will come out a week before Half Life 3 does. :V

Also, working on a post now, hope to have it up shortly.

@tsukune Tangled is my favorite Disney movie, so I'm really excited for that. Other than that.... As long as there's no shitty Atlantica or Frozen singing world I'll be fine.

Singing Atlantica was awesome and I will defend it always. It was way better than the bad underwater world that was KH1 Atlantica

@AirBender Tangled is confirmed along with Big Hero 6, yeah. Even Nomura himself is excited to include her whipping long hair into the gameplay lol. Also, Sora and Hiro are "long-lost bros"! Heh.

I don't mind singing as that is one of the well-known trademark of the older, 2D animated Disney films: their Broadway songs. I don't hate the musical parts in Atlantica (I'm fine with rhythm games), but personally I feel it could be greatly improved to be on par with the likes of DJ Max or Project DIVA instead of just...pure button spamming and breaking (Urusla's part, yes). XD

I'm not keen to see Frozen not just because of the overhype, but also that I dunno how well that world is going to contribute to the main plot of the game: the conclusion of the Dark Seeker saga. (On a more personal note, it's because I don't like "Let It Go".)

And done. Not all that fancy, but it'll do.

@Flamelord Yay! :D

Now we're left with only @Grasshopper's Cloud.

I've added the link to the common collab space to the first OOC post, and also included an 'Announcement' section so that any RP-related news and updates won't get lost in the OOC chat.

And speaking of OOC chat...

I really don't mind you guys having random talks here beyond things related to Enigma. Besides, I would love to get to know you guys more!

Oh, speaking of collabs, I guess this is important to mention. I hate using pads for collabs. It makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable when somebody watches me write. So if you want to collab with me, we can either use PMs, or I'll write my pieces somewhere else, then post them to the pad once they're finished. No exceptions, it seriously makes my skin crawl.

Ah, I can understand - there are times I would write my parts on MS Word or Notepad first, then I cut-and-paste them to the collab pads later. After many collab experiences I'm now more open to write directly on the pad, but sometimes I still prefer to write the draft somewhere before I show others my finalized stuff.

Other than the common pad, you can use other alternatives for specific-player collabs, no problem.

The reason why I highly encourage collab writing is not just because I have an eternal hatred for one-liners and speed-posting in IC, but also that I am keeping track of the IC as much as all of you guys do. I get miffy if the flow is choppy and awkward, which messes up my reading rhythm and pace, preventing me from feeling the plot and characters well.

I've never used a common pad before. I'm open to trying it sometime, if anyone wants to do a collaborative post, but I think I'd be the same. Write it out first, and then post it into the pad. People could look at it and edit it on their own time, I'm thinking.

I think they should put Star Wars into KH3. Hey, it's Disney, haha. At least give Mickey a lightsaber, common.

Super excited about FFVII, but I have no idea how long it will actually take them to get that out. When they do, it'll sell like crazy and they'll drown in pools of money. Dive into their gold pile like Scrooge McDuck.

Wow, I actually hate my first post now. I've never hated a first post before. I posted under the assumption that our characters were close to each other, but not so close that they could all see each other right away, that's why I had Edward start walking off. But people decided to play against that, so now I have to figure out how to make Edward not look like an idiot in my next post. Awesome.

@AirBender I personally interpreted this area as having rolling hills and tall grass- basically the kind of stuff where you wouldn't notice somebody until they stood up. It's why I didn't make note of Faris or Cloud in my post: Jecht wouldn't have seen them yet. If Edward was one of the first to wake up in our posting order, then he wouldn't see the others, either.

(And Underfoot's a shorty anyways, don't blame yourself for not seeing him)

@tsukune

Did you want to insert any kind of GM post before I toss Underfoot back into the IC? If not, it would appear to be my round again.

As I've told AirBender previously, you can write somewhere else before posting the finalized draft into the common pad if you're uncomfortable about people watching you type your parts real time. Also, you don't necessarily have to use the pads if you're doing player-specific collab - you can use other alternatives that works best for you.

@AirBender:
As @Penultimate_Pi has said. Personally I feel that everyone has done a great job with the starter post. :)

Now that your first post to bring your characters into the world is done, time to get comfy (or rowdy) with some exchanges!

In other words, you'll be making use of the common pad to start a full-party collab.

Here are some GM notes you can use to help you with the collab:

• Your Moogle partners tell you a bit about the strange realm your characters are now in - that the name of the world is called "Celestia", split into five regions (which are already listed in the Codex). And they will tell your characters the region they are currently in.
• The Moogles are your guide and traveling companion to Celestia; if anyone asked for a reason, the Moogles will respond that it's simply because it's part of "Celestia's rules".
• In the case that any of the characters asked about the strange, deep voice that spoke to them in their head before waking up, do take note that the Moogles are unable to hear "The Voice" and therefore have no idea what your characters are talking about.

I'll PM one of you with the first "clue" tomorrow. (Just to let you guys know, my timezone is GMT +8.)

While I admit that light saber keyblade would be cool, I'm not really keen to see the SW world in the game - maybe for the Gummi ship battles and Vader as a secret boss would be awesome, but other than those two, eh.

Pretty sure a lot of hardcore FF7 fans are definitely keeping their eyes on the Remake (trailer didn't show much but the graphic quality is something worth looking forward to). But first...give us the long-awaited FF15 and KH3. As long as they all come out as top-notch quality games, I don't mind the wait... Rather than them rushing to please the impatient fans and give us cheap stuffs.

@Everyone

The first "clue" has already been released! You know who you are, ssshhhh.

Seems like everyone's quite lost about the collab... No worries, I've added a GM part to the collab pad to help you guys get started.

Any questions, just @mention me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

(As the haze is back in my region, I've fallen sick - sore throat and a bit of fever - so apologies if there's any delayed responses from me.

And I probably should get a Co-GM to help me...hmm.)

@tsukune It's not a matter of being lost about it, it's a matter of nobody being willing. I made a PM thread for it cause I thought that would be easier. Bounce was the only one who replied and they didn't want to do a collab.

I'm gonna use the collab tool that tsukune provided. I think PM might be a bit too slow in this case, and tsukune provided an outline on the collab tool. It's got a neat ability to highlight who wrote what, which is an added bonus. We'll be able to tell who contributed what part at a glance.

I added Cloud's initial reactions. I might adjust a bit depending on what everyone else adds. I didn't put his final reactions yet until I see what else is contributed. I don't want to get too ahead of myself.

Here's the link in case anyone's missing it: Collab

Ah, it's my failure (as an inexperienced GM) not to get the hint that most - not all - of you are not keen to do collab (at this stage, at least).

Apologies for being a dick and pushing you guys to do something that you don't like/want to do.

I'm fine if you guys prefer to stick to traditional solo posting instead of writing together, but I do expect to see everyone to be more open-minded about collab as the IC continues on, especially when we start the action scenes.

A big thank you to @Grasshopper for being the one who shared my sentiment for collab writing.

(Also, I did state in the check and OOC that this RP will involve heavy collab work, so I'm quite shocked when you guys are telling me you don't wish to do collabs at all.)

Can I get a vote to see who wants to go solo and who is okay with collab? Then I'll rewrite the GM part accordingly (or I'd probably just remove it since it's just an expansion of the outline I've already given to all.)

@tsukune I'm okay with collabs. Which is why I started that PM thread. Cause I thought it would be easier than trying to get us all on at once. It's just a matter of having everybody be willing, which they aren't at the moment.
