NARRATED VIDEO VERSION
Hello and welcome to the Development Chronicle XVI for Legacy of the Zodiac II. This week I continued to map the Continent of Inngard as well as decided something.
So I bet you want to know what I decided right? I'll tell you then. Basically originally I was going to have you stay on Inngard straight through the whole thing, and Inngard is very large; so you would be there for a while. So Euth and Yukimura were talking to me about this, so I decided that rather having all of the quests and monsters go in order straight through all of Inngard, I would have you go through up to the Torrential Plains, than go to another continent, most likely Southern Sub Zero, then go somewhere else, then back to Inngard etc. That way you aren't stuck on Inngard for a long time; it's mixed up a bit so you get to see different areas. So once I finish mapping the Continent of Inngard I will make the plan for the world map and make a general plan for the rest of the continents, what areas will be on them and the islands; so I know how far the quests and such have to stretch out.
But as I said, before I do that I am going to finish mapping the Continent of Inngard. This week I finished off mapping my part of the Coast (I did the rest of the right side and Yuki is working on the left side), I also started working on the Northern Spine and I got a lot of it done this week, I also finished the Village of Karthay since it is part of the Northern Spine.
It's time for some numbers again so you can get a picture of how much work both me and Yuki have done since we began mapping again, these numbers are after about a week of work so far.
Scythe
Coast of Inngard - 63 Maps out of 63 Maps (For my part of the Coast)
Northern Spine - 101 Maps out of 193 Maps
Total Maps: 164 Maps
Yukimura
Coast of Inngard - 14 Maps out of 46 Maps (For his part of the Coast)
Total Maps: 14 Maps
Here are a few screenshots of the Northern Spine which I have been mapping (as well as some of the Village of Karthay).
The below screenshots show some maps of the Northern Spine, the one with the ledge is where the Spine elevates, it elevates a total of two times, the lowest elevation of the Spine is the largest, and it gets smaller as it goes up; at the top the entrance to the Kothas Mountains will be present.

The below screenshots show some maps of the Village of Karthay, which is scattered around in a small area of the Northern Spine.

So basically I will continue mapping this week, I plan on finishing at least the rest of the Northern Spine this week.
That is all for this week, see everyone next week!
Thanks for listening,
