JRPG Mode (Thieves In Time Rewrite)
I'm sure very few have asked this question: What if my Thieves In Time rewrite were a JRPG?
...Wait, what? I'm the only one? Well, let me enlighten you...
After clearing the main game for the first time, the player unlocks a very special treat: JRPG Mode! Of course, they would have to buy the DLC first.
It's exactly what it says on the tin.
As the legendary Cooper Gang, travel through time and save Sly's ancestors! Gain levels, forge unbreakable bonds, and face a few unexpected challenges along the way!
There's a lot I want to talk about regarding JRPG Mode, but for now, let's go over our 10 party members!
Sly Cooper
The namesake of the Cooper Gang, the master thief Sly Cooper is here to make sure whoever is threatening his ancestors [and very existence] pays dearly.
What adventuring party is complete without a dedicated Thief? But Sly's not just good for stealing; he can also be lethal when the enemy's back is turned!
Bentley
Our favorite neurotic turtle! He's the Cooper Gang's mastermind. But recently he's become a bit overprotective of his girlfriend...
With his bombs, darts, and medpacks, Bentley makes a fantastic Red Mage! But watch out; he's squishy! And don't forget to scan every enemy he comes across, because knowledge is power!
Murray
Though he's not very light on his feet, The Murray is always down to clobber anyone in his way into next week! He also makes a great older brother!
Whether he's Thunder Flopping, Flame Punching, or... whatever that roaring is, The Murray makes a perfect Monk... or should we call him a pro wrestler?
Penelope
As the newest member of the main team, Penelope likes to keep to herself. Despite hiding a big secret, she's still somehow loyal to her honorary brothers (and boyfriend), a feeling that's sure to grow the longer she has to stay with them...
Penelope's Morph Wrenches make her downright deadly in battle! Regardless of which form they take, they're always lightweight, and always hit like a truck! With those skills and more, her Magic Knight/Paladin skills come in real handy! You'll have to go through her if you want to even think about hurting Bentley!
Note: Penelope does not unlock her Paladin skills until Episode 5.
Carmelita Fox
Inspector Carmelita Fox has always been chasing the Cooper Gang her entire career. But being dragged into this adventure (thanks to a certain skunk) could make her see that Cooper and his friends aren't just a bunch of no-good thieves...
Watch out for Carmelita's shock pistol! She's not just a Gun Mage; she'll shock you silly if you look at her wrong!
Rioichi
Falsely accused of serving up bad sushi, Rioichi Cooper will need help from his descendant and friends if he wants to rebuild his legendary sushi shop... He's also able to tell when someone's hiding a big secret...
The first guest star party member, Rioichi, is quicker on his feet than Sly, being a Ninja and all that. His ninja stars and ninja knives pack a punch, don't they?
Tennessee
Meet Tennessee Kid Cooper, the fastest shot in the West! He, too, will need help from his descendant if he wants to build his legendary legacy...
You can't ask for a better Gunslinger than Tennessee! His Crackshot never misses enemies!
Bob
He might be slightly out of shape, but Bob Cooper won't let that stop him from feeding his tribe! Now, if only we knew how to pronounce his actual name...
Bob's brutish strength makes him an excellent bone-wielding Warrior! Dinosaurs and rapping bears don't stand a chance against the likes of him!
Sir Galleth
A bit on the overzealous side, Sir Galleth Cooper is the founder of the Knights Of The Cooper Order. With a little help from his descendant, he'll surely smite any fiend in his path!
As the party's resident Knight, Galleth is glad to seize any opportunity to prove his worth! He's a little prone to status effects (especially Berserk), but fortune never favors the cowardly!
Salim
His retirement from the 40 Thieves will have to wait! Salim al-Kupar has a little more work to do before he can finally settle down. He has kidnapped friends to save and an elephant to cork!
Salim's ability to zoom up any ropes or poles make him invaluable in battle as a Dragoon! For JRPG Mode, he doesn't even need any of that stuff nearby; he can just leap, then strike at the bad guys!
