Final Fantasy VX

[Chalupa]

Final Fantasy VX is (or at least GOING to be) a full remake of Final Fantasy using the RPG Maker VX RTP.
I know it's probably been attempted before, but I want to be one of the few people who actually
manages to complete my remake. I'm using the iPhone port for my mapping; the graphical style is very similar
to VX, so copying the maps is a breeze. I don't have much done yet, but I was way to excited NOT to post something.


STORYLINE
It's the exact same storyline as the original Final Fantasy.
If you've never played the orignal Final Fantasy, here's a summary of it's story:

Walk through and the world is veiled in darkness. The wind stops.
The sea is wild. The earth begins to rot. The people wait; their only hope: a prophecy...
"When the world is in darkness four warriors will come.." After a long journey, four young warriors arrive,
each holding an ORB..." The fantasies begin.

SCREENSHOTS

Spoiler: Cornelia

Spoiler: Cornelia Item Shop

Spoiler: Making Conversation

Spoiler: Cornelia Weapon Shop

THINGS I NEEDI need a few things to make this work. These things include:

The Class changing thing at the beginning of the game. It won't feel right without that.
The Windowskin. That shouldn't be that hard.
The little finger pointer. That shouldn't be that hard either.

If you have these things, or would like to MAKE these things,
please send me a PM! It'd be great of you guys to help me out a little!
COPYRIGHTS
Final Fantasy, the Final Fantasy Logo,
the Final Fantasy characters, the Final Fantasy classes, and ALL
THINGS FINAL FANTASY belong to Square Enix. I do not claim
to own any of these things, nor plan to make profit off of this game.
This is purely FAN MADE. It is a fan project that will in NO WAY
make money, or be sold.

I voted the third one, because at this rate, it just isn't gonna work out, worst thing to do when you make a thread for a game, is to put everything in spoilers, why don't you make a "rundown" of the world this game is in, places, kingdoms, and you will need two screenshots in game screenshots. Also, the map in the thread looks like it could be more interesting even though i don't use VX... I'd post some graphics up, like, what are the classes going to be? What are the classes going to look like, what type of spells are there going to be, and these kinds of things, explain things for those people who haven't played final fantasy games. Also, screenshots from the ingame things would be nice, put in pictures and things, all I see now is:

-What is final fantasy?
-This is the story things stop and a prophecy is happening
-Sucky map
-I need this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this
-I don't own this project, square enix does

Also, you might want to make the fan game a sequel or prequel to the one your trying to make, it would make things more interesting and it would give you a chance to be creative you are that is... I know this post makes me look really mean, but I'm just pointing out the truth and how to improve it... This looks like a concept though, still in development, and the map you already have up doesn't look final at all, if it is, the game is going to suck try posting in the mapping improvement thread please.

Please find this no way offensive, I'm not trying to make you feel bad or angry/sad, I'm just trying to help you in the most plainly way possible.

Thank you and have a nice day.

-This is the story things stop and a prophecy is happening

Well, that's kind of the plot. Congratulations, you figured it out!

-Sucky map

Incomplete map.

-I need this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this

I asked for three things. It's not like I'm asking for a complete engine and models to remake a fucking PS3 game.

-I don't own this project, square enix does

I don't own this project. It would be illegal for me to claim ownership of Final Fantasy in any way shape or form.

Also, you might want to make the fan game a sequel or prequel to the one your trying to make, it would make things more interesting and it would give you a chance to be creative you are that is...

See, the problem with fan sequels and prequels is they all suck. Really, really bad. A remake would also just be funner for me, seeing as I've always considered doing one. And now to ask you a question:

What the hell does "you are that is..." supposed to mean?



Oh, yeah, and the reason everything is in spoilers is so that it's not a pain in the ass to navigate like your own project's thread.

~Hey the requirements are two screenshots. You have 24 hours from this post to edit the appropriate sections that break the rules or get terminated. Or locked. Same thing. c:

 

[regi]

Hey, no need to shoot down zchin's C&C, he's just trying to help.

His point about spoilers is valid, there's no need to encase three or so lines in a spoiler. If you want organization try

[Cryranos]

that cornelia map looks waaaaay too big.

there's just way too much room in it.

 

[Celesinator]

Here is a map I did of Cornelia a long time ago:

Your map is incredibig and incredibland. Make it smaller and add detail. If you go outside, you don't see the same patches of grass twice, you know.

Good luck.

 

[Cryranos]

that was the map I would have referenced had I been bothered to look for it.

Make it look like celes' map

 

[zchin]

I asked for three things. It's not like I'm asking for a complete engine and models to remake a ******* PS3 game.

Swearing, yeah, your mad at me...

I don't own this project. It would be illegal for me to claim ownership of Final Fantasy in any way shape or form.

Your supposed to claim that you own the fangame, by saying it's a fan game should be enough copyright things, it's self explanatory.

you are that is...

What the hell does "you are that is..." supposed to mean?

I just forgot the "if" meaning that I'm challenging you so you would make a prequel/sequel or whatever.

Oh, yeah, and the reason everything is in spoilers is so that it's not a pain in the ass to navigate like your own project's thread.

Yeah, hi, i don't know if you've noticed but i have a "whole table of contents" and sub divider for the sections of informations in there.

If I'd known those comments were harsh enough to make you say those things, I would have never posted, so I'm thinking it's not a good idea to critique your games again... Congratz, you just lost a critique, yeah, yeah, that's one less post. It probably doesn't matter but I still feel like rubbing it in your face. :3

Thank you and have a nice day!

I think this topic would be better suited for the Casual Projects, because I don't think that people want to play a game that's already out, and the original, and probably better (no offense intended) due to it being developed by professionals. It's your call, though. As to the title graphic, why did you put the VX on a separate line? It seems kind of awkward like that when you can have it on one line and not take up that much more space. This is more of a minor issue, but would you consider renaming the project to something else as well? V and X are both used in roman numerals, and the original final fantasy games used roman numerals. I'm no expert on roman numerals but VX looks like a -5 or something.
And in light of zchin's post, and I'm not a moderator, but could we keep the personal attacks to a minimum?

We're actually planning on getting rid of Casual Projects soon.

I wish I could comment more but all that's needed to be said has been about your maps. I hope you plan on including at least some bonus features that the original Final Fantasy didn't have or something, though. I don't mind remakes because they're a great way to learn about the technical side of game making but it's kind of lazy if it's a word for word, feature for feature, exact copy remake, no? At least try and spice up the battle system or something.

The battle system is gonna be spiced up... I'm also going to include a few bonus areas, bosses, and a minigame here and there. I've got it all mapped out in my head.

And as far as my mapping, how are my interior maps? I've gotten pretty much 0 critique on those.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

Your interior maps suffer from mostly the same problem. Take a look at this map compared to one of yours.

See how much smaller it is, how everything is packed together tight, and how little empty space there is? That's what you need to do. Get rid of all the empty floor space and keep only what you need. Trimming down will improve the look of your maps and will be less annoying for the player having to walk around all the time.

 

[Cryranos]

It shouldn't be too hard to just open up the game, open up the editor and copy the framework of the map tile-by-tile.

If you're trying to emulate something, it would do you good to spend some time studying the source material.

 

[Celesinator]

Don't give up on the project, even if the votes say otherwise. Just improve on stuff and you'll have a great remake. People always have lots of problems with mapping. Just shrink the size and add more detail.

 

[Star]

Hey. My first project was a fail. My second project was a fail. If this is your third or fourth project than maybe you should reconsider your methods of expression. I think it takes a few times and a few spins around RM programs to get the tactics needed to create an awesome game. Maybe you should turn it around on these people and show them that you really got what it takes to make a great project.

Click on this only if you promise not to get offended.

Spoiler

Remakes are great and all, but not everybody likes a certain game series. You're better off creating your own game outta your own head so people have something new to experience. It might not be as easy but it should be more fun.

 

[Chalupa]

Actual map:

My first map:

My new map:

I think my new one is a LOT better, what about you guys?

 

[bacon]

better but its still plain. Add some details such as boxes and merchandise. And there is no entrance as well. Also, I dont know if you can do this in VX but double click the autotiles and see if it brings up the autotiles parts. Then tweak it so that the carpet doesnt end at the walls.

 

[Kaimi]

There is already remake of original Final Fantasy.

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

Bacon, he's trying to do the actual map in VX. But a door does need to be added. In the actual map the carpet stops at the wall. So why can't the VX redo?
