brendalaGot this idea during a fit of boredom and couldn't let it go.
I'm honestly surprised no Japanese company ever approached WB to make an anime or RPG based on Scooby Doo. If nothing else, it would be interesting to see this franchise through the eyes of insane Japanese game developers.
============
--Velma's outfit is a shameless rip-off of Alice Elliot's costume from the game 'Shadow Hearts' (which is AMAZING and my favorite RPG, by the way!).
I see her as the group Black Mage and someone who studies at some sort of magic academy (hence the stuffy outfit). And, when magic is unavailable, she beats the snot out of monsters with her massive books (Fun Fact: this is another trait stolen from Alice Elliot AND Velma's main attack in a recent series of Wii games).
--And Fred's armor is a shameless rip-off of Gourry Gabriev's. I know his costume looks a bit cluttered and stupid. Maybe I'll re-draw it someday when I suck less at drawing armor
--Shaggy would totally be a Tamer/Beast Master/Thief in a JRPG setting.
And I think it would be cool if Scooby fought with the aid of special weaponized helmets (so he wouldn't have to get up close and bite every foe). It would be kinda fun to see a more aggressive, dog-like version of Scooby (that DOESN'T threaten helpless women) like in the 70s comics.
--Daphne would totally be the typical JRPG Elf/Princess/Healer/Obligatory Love Interest.
As for what kind of story would go down in this type of AU....I'll let you guys speculate. It's more fun that way.
