| Lenophis, King Lettuce, and myself are all working on a massive Final Fantasy 6 project. The hack will be mainly a rebalancing, and it'll get rid of any "low level" aspect or something that shouldn't even be entirely possible to do. Characters will be strengthen/weakened, depending on the character, and the same goes for monsters.
There will also be many added bonuses to the hack, including this event change. To compliment some new events, we're thinking about changing one item so the hack follows Tent/Cabin rules like FF4 and FF5. This is the Cabin sprite that I came up with: 
Assuming all goes well, and not like it ever does, this is an added bonus that should happen. Discuss... (Yeah, I totally stole Lenophis' post from RHDN...) (edited by Dragonsbrethren on 05-14-06 03:35 AM) (edited by Dragonsbrethren on 05-14-06 04:11 AM) |

| 2 things.
1) Go for it! 2) Need help? With anything? Testing/making the hack? Edit: Rararar! (edited by NightKev on 05-14-06 03:04 PM) |

Ha, nice try.
Wouldn't hurt.
Go ahead. Originally posted by GrintoOriginally posted by Dragonsbrethren It started as a base at ZMD as well.

| Just for consideration;
One thing that always bugged the hell out of me was that every character was capable of learning every spell in the game. It makes sense that characters like strago and terra could use magic, but sabin or shadow? that's stupid. Maybe limit which characters could learn certain (or any) spells would be something along the lines of what you're going for? The other characters could equip espers for the level up bonuses or sumthin. I know there's been talk of making a hack like this before, I'm not sure if anything ever came of it though. |

| I honestly already thought such things had already been produced by the likes of Mnrogar and Master ZED et al. All those hackers trying to keep the game from being "broken" as they put it. It's kind of maddening that no one is actually working on an actual remake anymore. I've heard some proposed ideas in the past, most of which sucked. FF6 probably isn't well suited to a sequel. A prequel, however, about the war of the magi, or some other story element like Locke's past, might be cool. | |||

| Dragonsbrethren, I see you inserted the GBA font instead of the classic Chicago font. I always liked Chicago, but I must admit that the new one looks good too.
What would really look excellent would be to insert the custom font used in the German translation. Now that looks great -- if you haven't seen it, I'll put together a screenshot. |

Originally posted by MathOnNapkins Well, Square is concentrating on a glorified port right now. This hack will go over everything that in not balanced, such as:
Of course, we're gonna add as many bonuses to this hack as we can. Here's an added bonus: 
His names is Skiffles, named for the sprite artist that took the time to draw this. How powerful he is, where he shows up, or what his true purpose for being is unknown. As it stands, there are 7 additional monsters that are in place. There's room for 8 more as well if we wanted to use them all. Needless to say, there's a lot to be done.  |

| DB, any chance you could turn the tilde that separates the HP and the max HP back into a proper slash? Never understood why Square changed it to begin with.
Also, how realistic would it be to get the customization of Cyan's Sword Techs back in? The Japanese version had it. |

Originally posted by Heian-794 I've seen the German translation's font, I was using that in my own hack until I decided to draw this font. The font isn't actually ripped from the GBA games, most characters are drawn wider to fit in with the menu font, which is still fixed-width. Originally posted by Heian-794 Consider it done, as long as Lenophis approves. Actually, I though I already did that. Originally posted by Heian-794 We're looking into restoring some features from the Japanese version, that's all I'm saying now. Edit: Meh, what the hell, have some more screenies:

| That deep blue background for the text boxes looks great!
Could the numbers be one pixel taller? They look a bit small. Did you add more MagiTek abilities? |

Originally posted by Heian-794 You just gave me a great idea, why didn't I think of this sooner, no one liked that old chocobo background anyway: 
Originally posted by Heian-794 I like them as they are, different numbers are higher/lower than others, just like the GBA games. By the way, here's the slash in battle: 
Originally posted by Heian-794 Added? No, but there are new abilities. |

| Yeah, dump that useless chocobo background and insert something with some flavor. I always liked the "burnished copper" metal plates used in Chrono Trigger.
The numbers with descenders look nice but I still think they could be one pixel taller. Not a problem if you don't agree, though; it still looks better than most games' fonts. And the slash looks much better! Are youn going to edit any of the minor translation mistakes, such as the "frightful dragon" and the "treasure under the stairway"? |

| All the dialog is being rewritten, using both the US release and Sky Render's retranslation as references, the combination of the two, plus our own input, makes the dialog much better. Annoying plotholes have been filled (Ever wonder why Edgar knew about the Esper at Narshe?) and translation errors have been corrected, I'm even censoring myself so it doesn't come out like some of the lamer dialog hacks out there. | |||

Thanks, it's the best Guard I've never drawn 
It's public opinion time, which window backgrounds are your favorites? We're planning on replacing some of them, we don't want to replace the most popular ones, if you don't post now you have no right to complain in the future. The following windows have been enhanced: 1, 2, 4, 5 They will not be the same as you remember them, they will be better.

| Just in case there are naysayers about this event, this is an avi of the event as it happens in the game (although it's been slightly modified since). | |||

The cabin sprite was a test, if one person admitted it sucked in this thread it was going to be replaced by this one, based on the cabin from FF4:
Since no one commented on the original it's staying in. (edited by Dragonsbrethren on 05-16-06 03:31 AM) (edited by Dragonsbrethren on 05-16-06 03:42 AM) |
