[Video Game] PSSM: The RPG

[Chains Of Fate]

I've done some major reworking on this, which I think is newsworthy. ^^"

I. Information and Story

Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon : The RPG is a retelling of the entire Sailor Moon saga from the beginnings during the Silver Millenium to the rise of Crystal Tokyo in RPG form. There will also be a final, original chapter summing up the formation of Crystal Tokyo, and introducing a new set of heroes.

I'm using some graphics from SM: Another Story, along with my own original graphics. done by my wonderful spriter. I've already cast all of the main Sailor Soldiers, as well as many other characters for voice acting which will be used for a few scenes and for battles. As for music, I'll be using music from the anime, live action series, and will even have some original pieces here and there done by my composer, RoeTaKa.

Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon: The RPG is a massive project, recreating the entire (manga! NOT anime) story of Sailor Moon, from the beginnings during the Silver Millenium to the formation of Crystal Tokyo, as well as a new chapter involving new heroes who take on a new, more powerful enemy than any the Sailor Soldiers have faced.

As earlier mentioned the game spans all six arcs of Sailor Moon, the Dark Kingdom Arc, the "Alien" Arc (was only in the anime, but I am including this), the Dark Moon Arc, the Infinity Arc, the Nehellenia Arc, and the Sailor Stars Arc. Not to mention all the side stories that I'm including as side quests.

Graphically, the game is being composed of graphics from PSSM: Another Story that was released for the SNES in Japan, and many will be original made by my spriter. Most of the sprites are being redone, and all of the locations are being remade with added graphics as well.

The game will also feature a few original songs, and music from the anime, musicals, and live action soundtracks of Sailor Moon. There will also be voice acting for scenes and battles, done by my cast of voice actors and actresses.

The game won't be too linear, you'll have a lot of time to explore and the game won't "force" you forward too much. There will be a lot of mini games and sidequests to refresh the fun when you want to take a break from regular gameplay.

The battle system will be turn based and very similar to PSSM: Another story though instead of Crystals ( a maximum of 12) to use attacks, like seen in PSSM: Another Story the soldiers will have MP. As the characters mature they will learn new battle techniques (some original). Equipment can also be found and bought throughout the game, unlike in PSSM: Another Story. The inner senshi will have weapons based on their PGSM weapons, and the outer senshi will use their talismans, which they'll be able to power up.

II. Characters:

Name: Usagi Tsukino / Princess Serenity / Neo Queen Serenity
Sailor Identity: Sailor Moon
Weapons: Rods/wands
Usagi, just your average 14 year old in the eighth grade with typically demanding parents and an annoying little brother, Shingo. Clumsy, and a bit of a crybaby who likes nothing more than to eat sweets, sleep, read comic books, play video games, and watch anime, not a girl you would think to be a champion of justice. Long ago she was princess of the moon, destined to take her mother's place as Queen. Usagi goes through many transformations where her Senshi powers grow stronger, giving her many different attacks and transformations.

Name: Ami Mizuno
Sailor Identity: Sailor Mercury
Weapon: Swords
She is very intelligent, and is always studying and telling others to study more. She's at the top of her class, and not only is she very intelligent, but she excels in other areas, too. She's unbeatable at chess and is quite a swimmer. Her dream is to become a doctor, like her mother. She and her mom live together in an apartment. Ami is very shy and demure, and she embarasses easily. She was the second Senshi to be found by Luna.

Rei Hino
Sailor Identity: Sailor Mars
Weapon: Daggers
Rei has quite a quick temper, and is certainly not slow to respond to situations. She can seem very snobbish at times, letting her ego get in her way. She is incredibly independent, and very aggressive. However, she is also very energetic, sympathetic, and fair. Although she's very strict with Usagi, it's because she really cares for her, and she only wants her to become strong.

Makoto Kino

Sailor Identity: Sailor Jupiter
Weapon: Staffs
Makato seems very optimistic almost all the time. Often, the only times when she doesn't seem as optimistic are times when she is lamenting about a failed love relationship. Of all the senshi, Makato seems to have more energy and courage than most. She is always willing to fight for things that she believes in, no matter what. She is definitely a fighter! Makato is also very sincere and honest. She is a very dependable friend, and always takes the responsibility of caring for and protecting her loved ones.

Minako Aino
Sailor Identity: Sailor Venus
Weapon: Chains/whips
Minako is very cheerful and optimistic. She can always be counted upon to bring smiles to everyone's faces in any situation. She has a nice charm about her, and is seems to be a peace-maker within the group. She never has major arguments with other senshi and seems to avoid conflict. She is very socially active - she is involved in volleyball, and goes to idol auditions often.

Haruka Tenoh
Sailor Identity: Sailor Uranus
Haruka is extremely strong-willed and independent - she is very dedicated to her cause, willing to risk her own life as well as that of her soul mate for her cause. She is one of the most serious of the senshi, but also one of the most eccentric. She seems to enjoy her time alone, within her own private world - such as when she is running or driving. She is also extremely likable, though very detached.

Michiru Kaoih
Sailor Identity: Sailor Neptune
The changeable, impressionable nature of Pisces is represented by her mirror, which reflects things around it. Michiru is completely absorbed in the tasks that she chooses to undertake, such as her skills as a violinist, her duties as a senshi, and her maternal care of Hotaru. Sailor Neptune's role as a senshi seems to be as more of a follower... she doesn't initiate battles, but rather follows the others into battle to perform her duty. While she is a brilliant woman, her personality is much more sensitive, intuitive, and emotional. Pisces tend to seek a soul-mate, and Michiru has found hers in Haruka.

Setsuna Meiou
Sailor Identity: Sailor Pluto
Setsuna is one of the most calm characters in Sailor Moon. As a senshi, she is usually the one who keeps the coolest head. She seems detached from much of the action, but is actually quite involved, though often reserving her appearances for the times when she is needed the most. She rarely voices her opinions about things, having a very reserved personality. She seems intensely focused on her work as a senshi, which is a valuable skill for one who must guard the gates of time! She takes her job very seriously. She is passionate about whatever she does, and never takes half measures. She even risked her life to stop time in order to aid the mission of the senshi.

Hotaru Tomoe
Sailor Identity: Sailor Saturn
Hotaru is more serious and logical than she is light-hearted (like the inner senshi often are). She takes things very seriously, and is always dependable. She is very independent, and has few close friends. However, she is extremely loyal to those close to her. She seems rather pessimistic and usually down, but it is unclear whether this entirely her personality, or due to other circumstances in her life.

Chibiusa / Small Lady Serenity
Sailor Identity: Sailor Mini Moon
Weapon: Rods/wands
Chibiusa is very eager to learn. Although she can sometimes seem very obstinate, she does have a tender side that she hides behind her Cancerian crab-like "shell." Like her mother, she is heavily guided by her emotions. Most of her action are based on feelings. She is very loyal to those that she loves, and will do everything within her power to protect them, even if this means sacrificing herself. Her domestic side is more apparent than Usagi's. Although she is not quite as organized as her mother, she is still young and learning. She enjoys cooking, as evidenced on several occasions.
