FF7 NES

[Anonymous]

i don't like final fantasy and i don't like making topics about games but this is just way too cool to pass up:

read about it here.

basically this is FF7 on the NES, only not a ROM hack. it recycles graphics and music from FF2+FF3 but the script (though chinese) and events and stuff are all pretty much true to the game. it is also COOL AS HELL.

I've already told you on IRC that I thought this was the coolest thing ever.  Kind of inspiring to see just what you can do with an NES system still.

What I find funny though is the cart is labeled as "Advent Children", complete with the movie logo.  The title screen also has the same background image.  Pretty cool that this was that recent; probably would have looked a shitload better if it wasn't made by a knock-off company.

It seems interesting, but I would have liked to have seen more modern/sci-fi graphics (though its understandable if they were just using FF2/FF3 graphics).

Is this an RPG Maker game or is it being made on something else?

This is an actual cart playable on the Nintendo Fanicom system.

It's pretty neat, from a proof-of-concept point of view. As an actual game, it kinda sucks. Of course, I don't read Japanese, so that might have to do with it :tongue:

Uh, that's Chinese dear.

tomato, tomato.

the dialogue is basically the same as the original translation, only in chinese, so if you've played the original there's not much difference i don't think. that doesn't make it BETTER of course (the original was horrible) but

Case in point, my dear, case in point indeed.

Are you implying that Chinese and Japanese are the same thing?

 

[Danton Lavergne]

Why not? If your going to be offended by subracism, just ignore posts like that.

 

[NeoSamurai]

I think he's just saying that the dialogue is the same, only in Chinese.

They also released Resident Evil like this. No Joke.

not at all, but they're very easy to mix up if you don't know much about them! writing-wise, anyway.

I can tell the difference quite easily, seeing that I lived with chineese, korean and japanese people for 3 years.

This is bootleg right? So would it be safe to download a .nes rom of it?

This is nothing compared to FF10 on wonderswan color. Thats even more amazing.

Someone should totally take the rom, and hack in actual FFVII music and monsters.

And, you know, translate it.

And maybe make some custom tiles.

Then I'd totally play it.

If I had the table file, I MIGHT be able to put the text into English.  Music I'm not too sure about, and the rest is just editing in a tile editor program.

Though, tbh, it'd probably be easier just to do an entirely new game in a game maker.

I think this was built before the FF7 we know today for Square to get a general Idea of the game.

 

[kip]

no it was build after

I remember reading about this on Wikipedia or something awhile ago. If an english translation rom ever surfaces I would totally try it out. It actually looks pretty good, and I would be interested in seeing how faithful it is to the original game.
