Definitely was not because a better version could be made in RPG Maker. I know because I wrote an exporter for some data of FFV SFC/GBA to RPG Maker MV formats.

Maybe Square was just being lazy with it? It looks so shit.

Yeah. So before it was in production I made a shitty bid to make a remake of it myself and Square Enix said Matrix is holding onto the rights and had intention to make it a smart-phone focused project (on the back of FF Dimensions - uses the same engine and even contains left over assets from it).

It definitely did not have the budget of the FFIII/FFIV 3D remakes (along with Dimensions). Personally, I believe the biggest problem was that they used the original sprite artist to redo the characters - they did this for that Japanese Otaku reason of attempting to idolising certain industry pros and letting their name carry marketing weight.

Her original characters were great and at the low-resolution scale of the Super Famicom the detail is aliased down into such few pixels that it works great - but she isn't good at doing RPG Maker scaled sprites, literally suffers from the issues that novice sprite artists have in the RPG Maker community: pillow shading, black outlines, flat angle, totally stiff limbs.

Wow. I hadn't followed the Final Fantasy remakes at all. I just read up on the FFV remake, and I am appalled. I can't believe Squeenix would do that to a beloved classic. I am stunned. I just read an article that compared the FFIV PSP remake to FFV. The FFIV remake was beautiful. They obviously have the talent and budget to do a proper HD remake. They just didn't use it for FFV.

[Xilef]

I'm back from visiting family up in Blackpool. Feel a little more inspired to continue working towards my game idea - still need to do something about the story though, was hoping to get something done whilst up north but I never had the time to myself.

 

[Fayte]

who else has joined the altcoin craze?

 

[Nathaniel3W]

No cryptocurrencies for me, thanks. I frankly cannot believe how much they've gone up and I cannot believe they'll stay there. Also, I would be terrified knowing that my investments are completely uninsured. I like having money in my American bank with its FDIC insurance. I like knowing that my Roth IRA represents ownership in real, functioning companies. I just would not feel comfortable investing money in nothing more than a string of ones and zeroes that a I could lose access to because of a software bug. I would not feel comfortable knowing that a hacker could steal every last coin without a trace.

 

[Ellie]

My manager has made thousands so far but he's bound to lose it all.

 

[coyotecraft]

I can't even get people to give me real money. Let alone bitcoins.

 

[Fayte]

me and my girl are addicted to investing and watching our money double.. one even tripled. Too bad I can’t afford to put thousands into it. I’d become a thousandaire.

 

[ZenVirZan]

i invest in traditional companies, not coins cus coins are only goin up due to speculation. its pretty easy to triple and above your money when a stock is a few cents. i also just dont want to finally go for coin before everyone realises its not gunna work and crashes

also shit's expensive and dodgy as fuck here in australia

 

[Fayte]

with all these major companies backing them.. I don’t think they’re going to crash. In fact, I think it’s gonna be the inevitable next chapter. But when new things come you always got the people that accept change and those that don’t. I’m just looking ahead.

Also, HiPoyion! How are you feeling these days? I was just thinking like dang haven’t heard from you in a while.
