(This is the sequel of BB, even the intro already spoils some things, including part of the ending.)
Story:
16 years ago... a crazy wind mage, Vaati was terrorizing Hyrule, turning it into the gruesome Inverted World. Two youngsters, Knil and Myra appeared and after leaving trace at all parts of the Inverted World, they stormed Vaati's Evil Castle (Akumajou Vaati) with the best immortal war equipments. Knil&Myra were in the building for hours, when suddenly people saw Vaati's dreaded castle being engulfed in light, only leaving a cursed land mass behind.
Knil&Myra haven't been seen ever since, but rumour say that they used their immortal equipment to rebuild a certain monolith. Ever since it is called the Monolith of Peace and also the Monolith of Seasons and is respected through far and wide.
Hyrule is now called Ellivenia and is ruled by the Government of Ellivenia. The Eight Powers (Thievery, Religion, Wizardry, Strenght, Construction, Nature, Civilisation and Virtue) are being isolated from each other, everything changes and a mysterious purple clothed mage terrorizes the weak ones.
Nowadays... A mountain girl, Coral is playing on Mt.Dead End and finds the Monolith of Seasons, where a spirit claims that he/she is stuck in the monolith and Coral should find the eight Tetrad Seals to free the spirit and get very rich. Coral gets the power of changing seasons and sets out for what she hates so much: long adventure.
Coral:
One so true... Coral, I love you! Actually, yes, this quest has a female character. Coral is by no means hero, not even too virtuous. Her actions will be downright different than what you saw in other quests or movies or novels or such.
Description:
Season changing is the main thing. Besides that, I try to make everything as unique and new as possible. For example beating the boss of a dungeon isn't the last thing to do in it, after all the dungeons weren't built against Coral and the Tetrad Seals aren't recognized to be any powerful, just rare. Coral uses the items different, too. She won't be able to magically use the Dominion Rod, so she will whack with it, using it as a hammer! :eek: Potions are medications and you can get it only in governmentally approved pharmacies, unless you "know where to search". Bombs are illegal, so you will need to look outside of shops to get it. Coral will have many helpers, including some BB characters. She will frequently chat with the Happy Mask Salesman, see the tears of Myra, err, I mean "Ester", endure the babysitting of Angeal and do more funky things. At least two endings, there will be. There's high freeformness in dungeon order, for first, you can choose between 3 dungeons to beat at first. The parliament will be an important place, too. Sneak in hidden meetings, get in prison or run for being president!
Demo description:
First of all, it's slightly outdated already.
After you go over the intro and beginning scenes, search for the Monolith of Seasons, then after more scenes, you need to find 2 started items, activate an one timed event and see the first place that can have a Tetrad Seal: the wizzrobe dungeon. That's all for now.

Full quest progress:
I'm at the beginning of the first dungeon now, with much more overworld place finished than what is in the demo. In this moment I'm working on NTAEL, but after that, I try to speed up so that you can have a more contentful demo. With all the new additions. The last screen I showed is very recent.

-Slight rain at higher areas
-Hardly destructible vegetation
-Increased activity of flying lifeforms

-Ice rain above crop fields
-Unbearable heat at very open areas
-Easily destructible vegetation

-Increased number of very hard monsters
Autumn: (Wizardry/Religion)
-Heavy rain at lower areas
-Increased number of agility shortcuts
-Increased number of undeads and ghosts
-Increased power of magic and spirits
Winter: (Thievery/Construction)
-Snowfall all over
-Unbearable cold at very closed overworld areas
-Decreased monster activity
-Decreased number of walkable paths
-Increased NPC activity in settlements
Cameos:
Ebola Zaire - Fashion Hypermarket boss
Angeal - Only goodwilled member of government
Nuvo - Carries over from BB role (golden mail manager) somehow...
