Final Fantasy IV VX

Spoiler: Why the hell am I doing this?

Good question.  :dead:

Final Fantasy IV is one of my favorite Final Fantasies, and one of my all time favorite RPGs.  Once I started playing around with RPG Maker VX, I got inspired to make the attempt to make this, even though there's already three other FF4 official remakes.  With any luck, if this is successful, I'll be able to make a sequel or two based on this little universe.

Spoiler: About FF4 (in case you just crawled out from under a flat rock)

Five airships speed across the sky.  The Red Wings, the air force of the kingdom of Baron, are on their way home after completing a successful raid upon Mysidia for the Water Crystal.  Their captain, Cecil, reflects back on this mission, which took place only hours before.  Although it was the king’s order, Cecil and his men feel guilty about taking the Crystal from the innocent people of Mysidia.  But Cecil reminds them that they are the proud and mighty Red Wings of Baron and must always remain loyal to the king.

Still torn by guilt, Cecil brings the Crystal to the king of Baron.  He starts to leave, but decides to ask the king his intentions.  Accused of disloyalty, Cecil is stripped of his command of the Red Wings and ordered to go hunt the Phantom Beast plaguing the Mist Valley northwest of Baron… And so begins an epic tale of betrayal, love, and redemption as the dark knight Cecil departs on his journey of awakening.  His travels will take him around the world and beyond, where he will find both fearsome enemies and new allies.  Only by renouncing everything he has known will he be able to succeed in a quest that will ultimately decide the fate of the world.

I am so in for the scripting! Who wouldn't be? It's freaking FF IV!

 

[rikuken]

WHOA! Please continue this, don't stop.

 

[Dopples]

Those maps look spot on with the original. If it weren't for the RTP, It wouldn't seem like a RMVX at all really!


That said, I can't critique much else, since there isn't anything else, but good luck, and try not to get sued by SE  :tongue:

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Thanks Dops.  And good point; I should make a mention of legal crap. :x

 

[Kururu]

Hey, I had this idea too!
I support you with my word. I'd support you with my spriting too, but I never got started spriting for my remake... so, you know?

Question - Is the stuff in 4DS (extra scene/decants and that) gonna be included?

 

[Skyla Doragono]

As far as extra scenes, the only one that I really understand is

Spoiler: holy shit spoiler

Golbez's flashback about his father and mother's death just before Cecil is born

, so that one will make it in there.  As for the others, I haven't seen them yet, so I don't know.

As for Decants, I don't know either.  If someone can script it, I'll include it.  If they can't, no big deal.

 

[Kururu]

Spoiler: Big Spoiler, lol

Ah, yes, that one.
I have the translated text for that on my PC, if you need it.

I didn't understand the others either...
It's no big deal if you don't have Decants, either. I just hope you finish this project, kupo!

 

[Magicant]

FF4 was cool and all, but the "Red Wings" remind me of a tampon... But on a more "serious" note, good luck. Looks cool.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

@Kururu: Yes please!  That will save me a headache.

@Magicant: ...tampon?  :x  You're sick, man.

Added more info to the first post.  Enjoy; I'll be getting back to work. :P

God Atemu I could love you right now if it wasn't for the instant threat of smiting :D

FF4 is by far my favorite single game, and this would be great :thumb:

 

[Avadan]

With any luck, if this is successful, I'll be able to make a sequel or two based on this little universe

Why not just do the sequel?
I mean... everyone knows the story of FFIV... and if they dont they`ll probably play it from any of the three "originals"
I think you shoud just do the sequel right away... "bat that yust mi"

 

[Xephyr]

holy.shit

I think I just passed out for a moment.

This looks like an exact replica with FF4's maps.  If everything else goes right, this could be amazing.

If you do this, you are teh supreme overlord. *bows down to Atemu*

Well... easy one first to see if it can be done successfully, then move on to the hard part.

I swear, there is a method to my madness.

EDIT: Added something a little on the important side to the list of things that need to be done that I can't do.  No smitens plz.

 

[Avadan]

Of course it can be done... copy/paste dialogues,maps,mobs and so on... where is the science in that?
But oh well...
I`ll be waiting for the sequels  XD

 

[Kylock]

Looks good.  I'll do what I can to help out in small pieces, since it does look like an absurd amount of work there =p

Uh... it's a lot more complicated than you make it sound, yo. :\

 

[Avadan]

Well.... yeah, it is... you are right, sorry
But Idonwananother FFiv!
I want to see how the story moves forward :P

 

[Arrow-1]

I've played but not necessarily finished a little less than half of Final Fantasy. (Finished 1, Didn't like 2, nearly done with 3, haven't played 4... :O )

I'll definitely test this for you as needed Mr. Atemu. :D

 

[Skyla Doragono]

That's Ms. Atemu, dear. ;P

Progress: I re-mapped Baron and fixed Mysidia thanks to a walk through walls code, so now those maps will be 100% accurate.  I'm currently working on the world map.
