harbino, do you ever post saying anything other than "where's the demo"?

I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy fans in general, but the SNES graphics were cute and the games themselves were mostly solid. as long as you let this thing be its own game, without bending over backwards to try and make it a homage, this should work out to be pretty interesting. custom graphics and music are always a plus.

I've come across this thread probably a dozen times now, yet I haven't commented on it. Shocking.

I love that you've gone to the old school FF graphics. I think they're just awesome. Definitely brings back some nostalgia, and I will most definitely try out your demo when it gets posted.

I just gotta keep my fingers crossed that this is more of a stand alone game than a fangame. I'm sure it will be fun either way, but it would go down a few notches if all of a sudden I feel like I'm replaying some old FF game.

Good luck on this project.

Nostalgia strikes again...
but in a fresh way. The game LOOKS nice.
Although I did find a few things I'd like to ask about:

1) You know how in the story info you said a man named Dice Quaros was "infused with essence power. What exactly does that do?

2) Does WEAPON stand for anything or was that just for dramatic effect?

Other than that I like the way this project is going, and Im a huge ff fan so do a good job.

The Essence is like Materia. But it's more extreme because you can't remove it and it does give you some mental problems.
WEAPON was just for effect. I didn't notice it myself.


Thanks ^_^

Awesome Bro

Wilson's Extereme Arse Penetrator Of Nature

It's obviously the name of the Ultima weapon, DUH.

This is coming along VERY nicely, I mean, I love the screenshots, the story doesn't sound TOO cliché (Although it can be in some places)

... And well... I can has demo yet ?!
 
Still needs stuffs ^_^. Face artist, need the battle system to be 100% complete (demo-wise), Need sprites (Lex is gone until Saturday), and I need to event/rip some graphics.
 
I sprited Jessen! Iono how he looks and Lex MAY resprite him. He's gone away for Thanksgiving. So how is he?

Nice work there Celes. At this rate you'll have a demo out before I do. I'm fascinated to see how it's going to play out using the old school Final Fantasy style. By the way how comes you're never on AIM anymore? One quickly question, about Keira, is she a weapon or a "WEAPON" as in the Final Fantasy sense?

Edit: Scratch that I read back a few posts and realised it didn't mean anything. Although it would be interesting would in not? :wink:
 
I could make it mean something yes yes ^_^. Essence's story has evolved a lot and maybe I could add something somewhat like that. Oh and I am on AIM. I have you on there but I changed my AIM name. There was this stalker dude who wanted to get in my pants <_< Pedophiles. I'm celeslovevi.
 
Ah, this version of the battle theme many times better than past versions. I am glad to see you used my new Castle tile on the world map. :thumb:
 
So, I am starting to get ever more impressed by this project. Loving the battle theme BTW. It does look well evented, with smooth animations.

Its looking like it has the potential to be one of the best RMXP games I have seen. I am starting to get eager for a demo.
 
Thank you thank you =D! I wish Lex could sign on so I can forc- I mean get him to make some battle sprites for me =3. I really want to show off the battle system. Btw guys I'm deffinatly not going to have this demo out by before Christmas, but it shouldn't be too long. Probably in January... I'm not going to give any more release dates because I can't keep one. I feel like Nintendo.
 
And we got... ANOTHER THEME?! Awesome. I don't know if I should be showing you guys all of these =P. I probably won't show anymore... 3 is enough... okay the last one I wills how will be the main theme, how is that? GOOD GOOD...

I'm still looking forward to this game, more so now as I really like Storm's Theme and the look of the game from the video.

Now, I know you said that the Battle Theme was still only Beta, but I have some issues, I don't like how it sounds rather slow paced to me, when I get into a battle, my thought is "Oh shit. monsters KILL!" and that music doesn't seem to really reflect it, it seemed more like a Theme Song at the beginning, and I think it should be sped up to a faster pace, but ignoring that, it's still a good song.
