#1167: Time to Move Forward
This Comic's Cast:
This is another instance where we learn a little about the RPG system working within this series. Some RPGs have a communal item chest -- all the characters are able to draw from it, be it for new equipment, items, potions, what have you.
Other systems (although none specifically spring to mind right now) give each character their own item pouch and characters have to trade items if they need to share. This system makes the games harder, but it does arguably allow players to customize each character the way they want to manage their junk.
CVRPG doesn't often mention items at all, but obvious each character has their own item pouch. Because they're greedy.

First, most of the Dragon Quest series utilizes the individual item bag rule, although eventually there is a secondary shared 'bag' (usually a horse drawn cart or carriage of some type) that can store everything and the character specific bags are just used for in battle items, including alternate weapons to swap to in the middle of a fight. I think it's just the spin-off titles that do the communal items thing, although most of them only have one character that can use items.
Second, Grandia (the first game in the series) also did the character specific inventories thing.
Third, Kingdom Hearts does this for most of the titles, at least the ones with a selection of items that are accessible in battle and don't use a weird card based battle system. They only let recovery type items be equipped, and not 'tent' type ones just the 'potion' type ones.
I know I've played (and probably own in one manner or another) other games that do that, but those are the ones that come to mind right off hand.
When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...
These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...
They actually do something heroic.
