The side characters are still being filled in, but there’s already been some great moments with the park’s hard-drinking fairy “mascots”, led by Moffle, who is a dead ringer for Bonta-kun from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu and is always up for a brawl.Īll in all, I’m really happy so far, and hoping for great things. Seiya is an interesting character, more self-centered and narcissistic than your typical blank, put-upon protagonist and therefore somehow more deserving of the weird stuff that happens to him. It’s a great example of economical story-telling: we start with Seiya being dragged to the park, with no long exposition about how normal his life is or his everyday worries in school. Their oracle predicted that Seiya might save them if he was made park manager. Unfortunately, they’re doing badly enough that if they don’t get another 250,000 visitors in the next couple of months, the developers will close the park. The park, it seems, is actually the habitation of a gang of magical creatures exiled from their homeland, who need the adulation of humans to survive. She gives him a tour of a run-down amusement park, and then reveals her true motives. Seiya, a smart but self-absorbed high school student, gets essentially kidnapped and taken on a “date” by a girl named Isuzu. In Yamato, this pool can be found in Abyssal Shaft in North Wen, it is rumored that El Dorado contains a similar pool.This derpy crocodile is VERY upset about the park closing. This technology is tightly guarded by the Kunie even after the Catastrophe. Through some unknown means, the Alvs created the technology-large pools of infinite gold-that gives monsters the gold they drop. With more of the surrounding cities becoming interested in the new foods, inventions and products, the overall economy of Yamato begins to grow even further. In Akiba, many Adventurers employ the People of the Earth for the more mundane or generic positions, (waiters, office clerks, secretaries, etc). For People of the Earth, it is much more difficult for them to earn a living. Relatively speaking, earning money is a simple task for Adventurers, as Monster Drops and Quests will provide more than enough for basic living expenses. Luxury items become more desirable in order to relieve boredom and to get people to spend more and therefore earn more. Basic furniture, clothing, and other essentials are relatively inexpensive, depending on one's preferences, or if the product is made by a skilled craftsman using the method of self-creation. Smaller guilds or individual Adventurers can either rent at relatively cheap inns or even camp out within one of the ruins in the city. Medium and large-sized guilds normally get Guild Halls at the Guild Building. This in turn gives combat guilds more work as body guards and defense. As an additional bonus, the new foods and inventions also attracts new customers from the People of the Earth, thereby giving the Adventurers an opportunity to learn more about the world they are trapped in.Ĭurrently, the bulk in spending goes toward food, due to the fact that housing is relatively cheap. The search for ingredients and materials spurs on the need for hunting and exploration. ![]() ![]() With the rush to create new inventions, comes a demand for new products and therefore the need to earn more money to buy them. With the discovery of new foods and inventions, the economy is now being driven to bring new life into Akiba and to relieve the despair and boredom. This in turn increased the sense of despair and boredom among the Adventurers. Furthermore, with all menu-crafted food being flavorless, there was no real difference between simple cuisine and the more expensive fare. However, this is very little incentive to earn more after the Catastrophe, since the People of the Earth no longer give out quests and the Adventurers automatically respawn if they die. On average, thirty-five gold per day is sufficient for basic survival, meaning that an Adventurer needs to only defeat up to six Goblins to accommodate for living expenses. The concept of money took on a new meaning when the players found themselves trapped inside the game and needed to use that money for daily life. Each player had his/her own account in the bank at the Guild Building in order to protect their assets from theft. It was used to buy food and items in the game. When Elder Tale was simply a game, Gold was earned either by defeating a monster or by completing a quest.
