.. grrrr!!! Okay, for those of you who have been very encouraging, I appreciate it! You have not been forgotten (Dragonfire and others), and i will make note of it in the closing credits when the project is finished! As for comments like 'you might as well cease and desist right now,' I have come entirely too far to quit, and I'm not even considering it! That being said, here's my progress so far:

*Vehicles all work (of course)
*All town maps and castles finished, complete with dialogue (of course)
*Dungeons finished:
(1) Marsh Cave
(2) Earth Cave
(3) Titan's Tunnel
(4) Gurgu Volcano
(5) Ice Cave

Left to do:
(1) Waterfall
(2) Sea Shrine **ugh!--this will be hard**
(3) Mirage Tower/Sky Castle
(4) Castle of Ordeals
(5) Temple of Fiends-Revisited **ugh!, again**

*NOTE on the new class system:
-I like the idea of dark classes, and will make them available, but not automatic. In other words, you'll have to earn each class individually. There will be a Dark Knight quest, a Summoner quest, a Sage quest, and so on...
For the Sage quest, I was thinking of building a dungeon which only wizards could enter--Red Wizards, Black Wizards, White Wizards, and maybe Summoners... You would have to enter ALONE. One wizard would have to complete the dungeon solo--the monsters, of course, would be capable of being defeated by a solo wizard, although I haven't decided what they will be yet.

In order to return to the 'normal' world, you will have to go through a cave filled with.... guess what??? Malboros!!! Lots of 'em! The Light Warriors will stink so much of 'bad breath' when they return... ah

I'm still keeping the end of April as the completion date! I hope that I come through as promised... Until then, thanks for the (positive) input!
