Gath, dev diary or something

The three nations are practically finished. I need some heroes for Gath and Hinnom, and some lesser national summons available to all three. Se'irim, lilim and some other creatures of the wild.

I finished the Grigori today. It was a bit irritating when they had identical sprites, so I decided to make slight variations on them.

Here is a screen from spooky sprites. THis is Azazel, theacher of weaponcraft, war and cosmetics.

Neato!

That is seriously awesome art. And re: FF, no one will compare him to Sephiroth due to the fact that the Grigori has 3 too many wings.

Looks mad!

I decided to make only six. In the references the leaders range from 10 to 11 to 20 and the total of watchers range from 100 to 200 IIRC.

They are a bit overlapping. Kokabel teaches the constellations and Barakiel the stars. I decided it was enough with one guy teaching astral magic. WIth six uniques there will not be too many of them running around in the game. Also their Nephilim progeny can have skills and references to their respective father.

What is Sephiroth (apart from the ten emanations of god in Kabbalah)? Some kind of final fantasy monster?

I have thought about doing a Sephirah pretender.

Let's see if I can guess what you've come up with.

*checks Wikipedia entry on Grigori*

Lesse, we've got Azazel (death, maybe earth and blood), Kokabiel/Baraqel (astral, maybe death), Araqiel (earth, maybe astral and nature), Chazaqiel (air, maybe water), Shamsiel (fire, maybe astral), and Samyaza (because even though Armaros/Penemue has a more distinctive niche, Samyaza is too big of a name to pass up).

That's one way to understate it.
