Game 3 Feedback - Part 1

[arivess.livejournal.com]

First of all, let me say, Tako, you are an amazing person for doing this every game. I didn't realize how much work it was making the end of game poll until I actually started making it. >.>;

To everyone else, please fill this out! It's a bit long because I am even more long-winded than Tako, but it took me some 5-6 hours, so please don't let it go to waste~ *shot for guilting*

More seriously, this is part 1. This one is about FF Land general - ie, what you enjoyed, what you didn't, how the mod team is, how the gil system is, etc. More in-depth questions about the various subcommunities are coming up in a little.

There are likely going to be 2-3 parts because apparently I can only have 15 questions. Oops. But don't worry, it's not as scary as you think! A lot of the questions are textbox entries for "If you didn't like something, can you suggest anything we can improve on" type things. Which brings me up to this point--

One thing we discussed in the mod comm was... no one really knows how to parse the scale question results. What you think a 7 means is different from what I think a 7 means, and both are different from what Mysti might think it means. So I'd like you all to please follow this grading system, just so we're all on the same page:

1 - CHANGE IT NOW CHANGE IT PLEASE
2 - There are some really, really big problems that need fixing like now
3-4 - There are some really big problems, but I'm not going to quit over them
5-6 - I don't really like it, but I can live with it
7-8 - There are some problems, but it's not too bad
9 - There really isn't anything wrong with it
10 - It's perfect, please don't change it!

Sounds good?

As a note, the textbox entry maximum character limit is 255. So if it doesn't fit, and you don't want to say so in the comments, feel free to PM/e-mail/IM me. Also, note that I'm the only one who can see who voted for what, and read textbox answers.

I'm not sure how the Avatar system would work (maybe I should look into that), but I think it's awfully cool. We could set it up as an actual bazaar community or something. The mods having a few shops that specialize in certain weapon, armor, and accessory types (in order to keep the threads from getting unbearably long). Community members use that to purchase items for their avatar that they would have already seen in the games: Sephiroth's sword, the Sagittarius bow, Mythril armor, ect...

I'm not sure how we'd display that, but it would be cool.

(I can see how most of it would work, already.)

The avatar system would be chibi avatars thus far drawn by me. I was going to do it, but then didn't end up having time to work on it beyond the bases. There's a tonberry and a moogle! And you can choose which one you want. Most clothing/accessories/etc would fit on either/both, with some species-exclusive ones, like different wings and pompoms for the moogle, different knives and lanterns for the tonberry, etc. Mods (and past mods) would also get rewarded with a special accessory specific to their position that can't be gotten otherwise. Display would be... uh. Essentially I'd give them to you on transparent background pngs, and you can put them together yourself and use them on banners, icons, etc. If people are interested, I'll start drawing them again when I have time, and make a post once I actually have something for people to buy.

IIRC, if enough people were interested, we were going to have a 'show off your avatar' post, and one for the banners as well, come endgame.

I totally don't remember anything like that, but sounds fun.

...as far as I recall it was meant to be an airship_lounge activity, if the avatar booth had actually taken place, since we were anticipating that people might want an alternative method of showing off the avatars they spent so much cash on, especially if they were considering banners as well. I also remember someone suggesting just... a nice spot to show off the banners, like trophies or something.
