This is one of my favorite videogame OSTs.

Its one of the most slept on games in the SMT franchise. Probably my second favorite of the series and it has my favorite Cathedral of Shadows/Fusion theme.

Its final boss theme is definitely my favorite in the series also.

I should really be writing my Light Novel.

Yea i greatly enjoy that version

 

[Mathaou]

Am I though?

My two cents:
You could have key events you want to get to, and then string them up.

I can help too! I write things!

Break your plot down into four basic acts. A B C and D. If your basic plot can't fit into that structure then you're probably trying to do too much. Once you have that, break down how many chapters you think you'll need to tell each chapter and work out a timeline for those events then write rough outlines of each chapter and then start writing each one fully from there.

A. Jack joins rebellion.
B. Jack takes over rebellion.
C. William tries to get Jack killed in action and use him as a martyr for the cause.
D. Jack finally goes insane and decides to kill William.

This is what I got. I'm also planning on making this a game, but I wanted to write out the story first.

I mean, how else am I supposed to support Skla's opinion that I do not agree with at all?

I have a huge, massive story that focuses on 3 characters.
-A psychopath named Jack who is leading a rebellion because he likes to fight and never got to in a war due to an injury, and he also likes gaining people's trust and acting like he believes in the cause for their rebellion.
-A rebel leader named William who discovers how Jack came to lead the rebellion through illicit means, and that he doesn't really care for the cause, and is forced to help him anyway because Jack's charisma and leadership skills are all that is holding the rebellion together.
-A spy from a neighboring country that is sent to observe the rebel forces and feed them false information to try and reduce their numbers by leading them into massacres and traps.

Most of the story is going to focus on the characters and the world, so how would I arrange that? What should I write first?

Williams seems the most neutral of the characters. Making him the best for the audience to see themselves.

Writing for a game isn't quite the same as writing a book. Just make sure you remember that.

Game with one ending or multiple?

Visceral attack him untill you can't. Then i just jump back, charge up a charge attack and he usually runs into it. Then i quickly backstep twice to avoid it. Strat worked as recently as 2 hours ago on NG++

Jack is a psychotic schizophrenic who desperately wants a purpose and I made William to be the regular guy who has personal reasons for what he does and doesn't just do things out of boredom.

Anna is an opportunist.

One. I know, I'm keeping level design, gameplay, cutscenes, and narrative in mind.

I did the visceral attacks, but it had just been dodging till he ended the string and getting like, one hit in. I'll give it a shot.

Well, while regular guy is usually the most dullest to follow. It makes sense to follow them somewhat. Unless you can do both Jack and Anna really well. I can see the audience being put off by them. But if you can write them with subtle then you might not need William at all.

Yea i was having trouble damaging him on NG++ after i couldnt do the visceral anymore because he would two shot me with the scythe attack. So i literally just backed up and waited for him to come to me while i charged my Ludwig's Great Sword CHarge attack.

I have a PS4 for that. I've never played a Persona game, though, so I'm not really that hyped.

Thats my favorite part of writing. I love the shit out of back stories. It's just narrative and dialogue that I suck at. And since this is a game and there is no narrative outside of what I show in cutscenes, I really only need to polish smooth, witty dialogue.

Well, while regular guy is usually the most dullest to follow. It makes sense to follow them somewhat. Unless you can do both Jack and Anna really well. I can see the audience being put off by them. But if you can write them with subtle then you might not need William at all.

There are some important story related things that directly pertain to him, but other than that, he only talks when Jack or Anna is around. It could work. But I do need to focus on him somewhat.
