In this version of Franis 2, all of the optional content is, more or less, finished. There are a total of 3 optional summons (With a mandatory one coming in a later version), and a total of 6 optional party members which added to the mandatory party members makes a grand total of 8 party members. Here are all of the party members and summons, and hints as to how to obtain them.
Flavio: Flavio will join you during the main quest. Through the mighty power of Flurrie's melons, he can prove to be a deadly ally.
Kooper: Franis's trusty canine companion will join you during the main quest. He can charge at enemies for massive damage.
supermsn: An ice cream shitting anthropomorphic taco. In this game, he prefers COLD environments...
Jr. Troopa: Jr. Troopa will toss deadly turtle shells at his enemies. He will join you if you find his hidden Playground; that is, if you can defeat the assassins who are tracking him down...
darkz: darkz will join you on your quest if you can help him out with a big, hungry, and most importantly HEAVY problem.
MeowMixer: This strange individual will join your quest without question. That is, if you can FIND him...
Yellow: Yellow is quite possibly the most formidable ally any adventurer could hope for. However, franis will have to search the STARS and beyond to find him...
Popple: A sleezy thief who will aid your quest if you can help him steal from a notorious gangster...
As for the summons:
Celeste Dimentia: A healing spell (Since I didn't get the sprites from you, CD, I just used Dimentio to represent you).
Magnus von Grapple: A powerful X-Naut machine that fires a barrage of projectiles at enemy units.
Tails Doll: A cosmic horror of untold power. However, you will definitely EARN his power... (And yes, bobz, I toned up the difficulty on that boss by quite a large margin, so you probably WILL have to have all of the upgrades to beat him)
Also, the file size is kinda large for a Game Maker game, so grab a soda or something while it downloads.
"And yes, bobz, I toned up the difficulty on that boss by quite a large margin, so you probably WILL have to have all of the upgrades to beat him"
i take this as a challenge
brb beating him without upgrades
you can't beat me
To prevent cheating in the first chapter (By sneaking up behind an enemy and unloading), I put in barriers to prevent you from wrapping around
@Flavio: Yeah, I'll probably add that to the next version.
you have to kill the flavio rangers first
you can go through the top of the screen to the bottom, so abuse that to beat them
