Final Fantasy: Arcane Legends

[Jstreet]

-Design and map 2 cities
-Work out some events
-Re-do some things with my introduction

What's the status of this?

 

[ama55]

Thank you for showing interest Jstreet. I have just updated my first post. Things to look for are:
-Named the main character! Feedback please!
-Changed Mercer (Playable Character) to Spade. This character is still in development, please give comments.
-To-do list has been updated. Good news, intro is done! (Except for like, 2 or 3 events that are waiting on mapping issues)
-Added more screenshots! Enjoy!
-Took away the skill gaining system and added a card game. This game will not be in the demo, as I am finding it hard to find someone to script it.

Thats it. Demo coming soon (once mapping is done! anyone wanna help?)

I just saw your BS screen. Are you using all RM2K3 battlers for enemies? If you are, and will also be using ones from SNES generation FF's, might i suggest you use the ones from the GBA remakes to keep in the style? I don't know how dependent on previous ffs you're project is, but mine is VERY involved with previous titles, so i thought i should probably give you that piece of advice.

 

[ama55]

That is a good point, yes, I am using RM2K3 battlers. The good thing about the RM2k3 ones though, is that they based those off of old FF titles also. They have slimes (pugs), ahrimans, behemoths, basilisks, beserkers, and a few more. I also have rips from FFVI to bring back a few people like tonberry's, bombs and a few other people.
I actually have left the battlers in their original size, because they look almost exactly proportional to the actual character battlers.
This Side-view CBS is the easiest one to use. It uses the spritesheets as battlers. It runs really smoothly (no errors), requires no spriting, looks actually really good.
I want to make a few edits to make it look more like Rye's, but only in the windows.

BTW: I sound dumb, but what are the GBA remakes? Thanks.

To get more money, Square re-released FF1 and 2 on the Wonderswan color. They then re-released the re-release on the PSX in Final Fantasy Originas. They did a thirrd re-release, with extra dungeons on the GBA, Dawn of Souls. They also did similar things with FF4, 5 and now 6, with the less pixely monsters. The style is very close to RM2K3, althouh some rips form FF2 DoS are too small, so go for the PSX version there.

 

[ama55]

Do you know where to find FFVI monsters (remade?)

 

[Granas3 REMIXED]

No, i don't think it's been released in english yet, but the srpiters reource has the new espers, whihch you might want to use...
Having said that, there isn't much of a difference between the two as far as i can see, garphic wise.It's more the earlier ones.

Major update to the first post. I'd like to point out, that I'm going to release this in 2 parts. The second will NOT be a sequal, rather, a continuation from the exact point we left off.

I could use some major c&c for the story, characters, or ANYTHING you can find for the first post. Thank you! (if you've read it before, you should read it again, it's REALLY different)

The story sounds interesting, but I like your characters best of all. (and I can finally post without being called a necroposter, or whatever!!)
Magicite Alchemy sounds like it could be a complicated system if you were to implement that into the game.
I couldn't click any of the spoiler tags for the systems (like the card game and such). I'm always a big fan of the card games in the FF series (even if I stink at them royally)
I'm still working on your artwork, and if you need any other help feel free to ask.

Best of luck!

 

[ama55]

Thanks makio!
I still haven't found anyone to help me script the card game yet, so I don't know if that will even be implemented at all.
Character development may be somewhat of a problem for me, so if I need any help, I will contact you.
As for the story, I'm planning on making this very political/religious/and drama filled.
The Arcane I want to resemble the Greeks
The Humans I want to resemble a steam punk type people
The Letians are supposed to be like native americans or tribal type people.

You have a good story so if I need some help, I may PM you

 

[Makio-Kuta]

I'd be happy to help with character development if you get stuck at anytime.

greeks, steam punk, and tribal...yeah they probably get in some interesting quarrels.

Any estimate on when you might have a demo out? *is curious*

 

[ama55]

I'm not going to push it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was late this year, only because I have to go to advanced military training this summer for 3 months and won't be able to work on it.

 

[Fireblazinx]

A shame no one has posted yet. Well, fan games don't get a lot of attention, but you have a good thing going here. Your thread is nicely organized, as well. I'll be checking back for some screenies and maybe some sort of picture for your characters. Good luck.

Peace,
EiB

hes right you have thought of this nicely

Wow this looks awesome, can't wait until it's finished, the drawings look a lot like Ethereal Dreams and Kailis.
