Maybe ill just make 2 versions of the game, one with the fire 2, bolt 2, and one with fira and blizzaga, and upload both.Anyways, here is a new video I just uploaded.

This video is just to show that I have updated the battle system a bit. I had to change the magic menu baecause it was showing up over the characters names before and causing an ugly overlay. Also I deleted bunch of numbers on the screen like the max hp number, because everything was getting a bit cramp.

In this battle I changed the background into an animated background. It is just experimental and may or may not be in the finished game. Also all these original ffvi cast and kefka may or may not be in the finished game. becasue im making new characters also. Thise video and others are just for testing purposus and nothing is reflecting what the final game will look like. Everything can change from a day to day basis.

Animated Backgrounds WOULD look cool. But that Pulsing Background just looks more annoying then anything, also like I said before since you re-mentioned it, do NOT include characters from FFVI in this Fangame, Kefka, Terra, all of them shouldn't be involved in anyway. Like, I'm pretty sure Maduin wouldn't even be born at this time, and would be born at the end of the war, if anything.

Back to the backgrounds, yeah, it would look cool, but just having it pulse like that would look annoying. Maybe having a background like, in the field where the trees would sometimes blow in the wind and you could see clouds moving, THAT would look cool, as it is now from that fight, it's more of an eyesore.

Now, onto the names Fire3 and Firaga, the reason it was called Fire3 on the SNES was because of the naming limitations back then, if I recall it's always been called Firaga but while they Japanese could fit it, we could not, which is why we got Fire3 instead. So, I'd say call it Firaga and the sort. It was also called Pearl and Doom because back then Holy and Death weren't allowed to be used in games. So, I say use those names, instead of Fire3. It's not like someone wont play the game just because of the spell names.

Your Spell menu still looks weird to me, well, really your entire Menu for the battle seems odd to me. You don't have the enemies names like most Final Fantasy Games, and your Name, HP, MP are really far spread out, and you don't have an ATB Gauge. Since you aren't having Max HP/MP on the screen, why not have it so that if it's full HP/MP it's a light green, then if it's not full it's white, like 30% Full it's Yellow, and 0% it's Red? That way people are able to roughly guess where it is without memorizing exact HP and MP Values?

Finally, your Skill Menu that pops up, because of the amount of spells in this game, you should have two columns, not one. There's just way too many spells in this game so you'll be scrolling around forever. Pretty much what I'm talking about, I refer you to the Spell Menu from FFVI. Get into a battle, open it up, you'll see what I mean.

So it is, the Blue didn't really stand out to me like the usual Yellow Final Fantasy uses. And I know that the text turns red when they're dead, but like, when HP and MP are full make them like, a Light Green to show that, a yellow when they're almost dead, etc. Since you aren't showing Full HP/MP, y'know?

Because, you can have the option of showing max HP/MP in the original game, and since I figured you wouldn't want to go through all the extra work to give us all the choice to change the layout like the original, I figured you could do that to show it. It's a simplified way to show the same thing, since Final Fantasy 6 and Up showed Max HP/MP (With 6 giving you the option).

"Magic" window hides MP stat: why don't you try this setting:

Name || ATB Bar || HP || MP

With it "Magic" window won't hide the MP stat.

Alright, commenting on Esper City. The layout itself is nice, but some buildings and parts of the ground look awkward. Like, the grassy-park in the middle, some parts of the docks, etc. I'm unable to point them out, but I'm sure if you looked out for them, you'd find them.

Also, the music was awesome, where is it from?

Hey whats up MagitekElite , thanks for the greeting.
Anyways I will be posting update onto this topic everytime I have a new video I have uploaded. Here is my newest video I just uploaded today.

This video is showing the fire place fire that i recreated, also water that i added to the town of albrook. The trick with the water was that it has to make it see though so you can still be able to see the wall behind it some. Also this video shows how the actor goes up and down the stairs sideways. By default in RPGVX, there are no sideway stairs, only going straight up like a ladder. So something as simple as going up and down the stairs sideways, I had to work on alot to make it happen.

Also notice how noone is in town inside or outside. All the towns I have made are all ghost towns, like a blank template, for me to add anything I wanted to later. To make my own custom events and story line. Any characrter can be added to the towns.

New video uploaded today

Nothing new! I've learning how to rip and make autotiles though! Not further than when we talked on Youtube. lol

Yea, I commented on the fire on the video. It looks amazing.

I like the Esper City (Like that you made the song the Tina Vocal song), but is it just me, or when the character is walking around, there is this weird square around him? :<

That's all! Besides that, I can't wait to see more!



Are you the author of the War of Magi fanfiction on FF.net? I'm just a bit curious, is all. I was meaning to ask you on Youtube, but I got so distracted lately.

Aw, I didn't know that >.> Okay them, that explains it! Well, I couldn't see anything wrong really....except, since we didn't see much of the Esper World, I don't know if they'd have houses like Gaia, but something lesser, like huts or caves or something lol

Other than that, really awesome! Still following on Youtube as well :)

All well, the information about the Magi War never really mentions architecture, but eh, the Espers did live on Gaia, so lol

Magi City? Ahehehe, that reminds me of something. Nothing big though, just something I thought about. :>

I'm not saying they wouldn't be less advance in culture, architecture or anything else. I just them as "naturists" that would actually only like to live with the planet or use resources the less they could, but that's just me :)

The filter--diffuse set to anisotropic?--you've applied to your sprites and tilesets looks bad. If you're going to use 16x16 tiles (which are sweet and people should do it more), it'll look much better if you just resize them cleanly to 200%.
