FFX for the NES

[Larahl]

This has got to be the most complicated NES hack to date. A group of Japanese rom hackers recreated Final Fantasy X using the Final Fantasy 2j rom as a base. All of the graphics have been scaled down to 2D, but they still look impressive with the NES limited pallette. Cutscenes in the game have been reworked, not eliminated.
For instance the underwater scene between Yuna and Tidus still exists.

The battle system has been recreated too. Limit breaks were added along with button presses for Auron’s Bushido attacks. The magic system has been reworked from the ground up to include more spells as seen in FFX.That would already be impressive as it is, but now imagine this. The entire sphere grid and the Blitzball mini game are also in the rom. It really is a 2D version of Final Fantasy X!
Check out the Japanese site http://www.usamimi.info/%7Eff10fc/
see the screenshots http://www.usamimi.info/%7Eff10fc/pc/scene.html

For now it's only in Japanese, I hope someone will take the effort and translate it.

Oh. My. Spankles.

They NEED to convert that to the GBA!

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

if they put it onto GBA then i would buy it. otherwise i wouldn't. i think it would spoil my love for the game

[rubah]

Thank you, *so* much:D

[Fire_Emblem776]

*come on demifore translate this*

[rubah]

I looked around the site, and the only nes things I could find were of the opening sequence around the campfire and one where you could fly an airship and change between characters walking over green worldmap with nothing else.

[Bowser]

That is awesome. They did an incredible job with the menu portraits. That looks so hard its not even funny.:rolleyes2

[DJZen]

I'd play it untranslated, but I AM dying to get my hands on that ROM.

[Mirage]

That looks like a lot of fun

[Crossblades]

Oh. My. Spankles.

They NEED to convert that to the GBA!

I agree, but I want to see that in SNES graphics:D

[crono_logical]

I'd play it untranslated, but I AM dying to get my hands on that ROM.I'd play it untranslated :D

[WarZidane]

I'd play it untranslated too :D?

[Larahl]

You can download the game here:
http://www.usamimi.info/%7Eff10fc/pc/game.html
just choose one of the mirrors

[crono_logical]

What are all the different numbers in the links, and if they're mirrors, why are all the filenames different?

[Larahl]

No idea, I just asumed they're mirros.
They might be more files of the game.

[crono_logical]

Well, I downloaded one randomly, and all it turned out to be was a NES format music file of Tidus's opening line of the game (in Japanese). Did you actually bother to check the links out yourself? :p I think the port is still in development and these are only previews of what to expect :p

[rubah]

munty,

I looked around the site, and the only nes things I could find were of the opening sequence around the campfire and one where you could fly an airship and change between characters walking over green worldmap with nothing else.

[crono_logical]

How disappointing :p

[Gnostic Yevon]

I love it. But somehow it makes me think of 8-bit theatre.

I'm not a huge fan of the artwork, but it sounds pretty neat. I wish I could program like that.

This is a better version of the water scene.

That looks VERY cool. I'm a big fan of those graphics, and I'd do just about anything to play a game like that!

[Fire_Emblem776]

i got it fine but i dont know how to start it though

[rubah]

You can't yet, we don't think.

[Fire_Emblem776]

guess we got to wait for a few years then...

[Sepho]

That's so cool.

[Larahl]

Well accroding to GaimerDaily:
An English translation should be coming soon, since the whole English script is already available.

[Ishikawa Minoru]

I download a 2.0 MB file from one of the links someone on this thread posted,and got to play a bit...but I can't start a new game or even go anywhere significant in the world map.

As soon as I loaded the ROM Tidus started talking:
"さいごかもしれないだろう？
だからせんぶはなしておきたいんだ
いろいろがんばえてたのはおぱえてる
オレどうなるんだとか
ここどこだよとか。。。"[there's more but the font was so small I had a hard time reading it and since I've played this game many times before I don't think there reallly is any need to do so]
Then the Title screen popped-up.I pressed the space-bar and got to the Load screen:
ニユ-ゲ-ム
or
テイ-ダ　ワッカ
ユウナ

I tried hitting the New game screen but they wouldn't let me,so I choose the preexisting save file...and was sent somewhere in the world map.
I entered a cave,touched some pot that fully restored my HP.HP and got out of the cave,to find myself unable to enter a city:
"くっ？だはいれないのか."This means Tidus' wondering why it cannot be opened or something similar,right?
Does anyone know how the hell can I progress(or start anew) with the game?
Thanks.

[Russ80]

interesting. but the lake scene was very boring since i can't understand jap. Took forever to watch. :P

[icefire_phoenix]

sweet...

[RaidenWeb17]

i kinda want to go play FFX again now...

[Bowser]

In this file (http://www.usamimi.info/%7Eff10fc/pc/gif/2_326.gif), I want to know who the second character. I'm assuming that the first one is Auron...

God, I love the Kimahri sprite.

[Vyk]

Yuna?

Its got brownish hair and is wearing robes. The bottom two are deffinitely Kimahri and Rikku

[rubah]

hair looks like yuna's.

[DJZen]

Ummm... that screen has to be a mockup... It doesn't use any of FFII's graphics or menu placement.

[Shaun]

Well, if it's real, then I'd be able to play it on my GP32, awesome little device. But I wouldn't do so until it'd get translated to English. IMO, it's fake.

[DJZen]

It's real it's just unfinished.

[Dreddz]

This is really good
And Really Really bad ......

[DJZen]

Wish we could see what they had planned for Blitzball...

Also... That first character in the picture Garamorde posted was Tidus, not Auron.

[crashNUMBERS]

*come on demifore translate this*

[DJZen]

Come on, someone more competant than demiforce please translate this...

[crashNUMBERS]

Yeah like DeJap. He translated Star Ocean 1...

[DJZen]

I haven't played SO1 so I can't speak for the quality of the translation. However, Demiforce's translation of FFII, while well intended, was HORRIBLE. You can look at my website (URL in my sig) for details, but some of the more obvious ones that spring to mind are:

The spell AERO: it does poison element damage, hmmm...
The spell PEEP: the actual name of the spell was Basuna
The spell STON: it has nothing to do with earth damage or petrification as you might think, it just stuns enemies.
The enemy DesAngel: You might think it's engrish for "Death Angel", but the enemy is a Goblin Prince. D'oh!
The enemy Satan: Wow, too bad the name of this enemy was Beelzebub, which is NOT another name for the devil, despite what you may have learned from your Black Sabbath records.
The item Thread: If it was called "web" that would have been less confusing.
EggTimer: Yes, I too see how you could get "egg timer" from "silver hourglass". I also see how you would immediately understand that this item casts STOP. Oh wait, no I don't...

As you can see I wasn't satisfied with their work. They got the essence of the dialogue perfectly well, but certain things were just named so misleadingly that it ticks me off. Ted Woolsey at least had the excuse of needing to censor things to keep in line with Nintendo's policies to fall back on. Neo Demiforce had neither censorship nor time constraints to worry about, and they still churned out a translation that caused many misconceptions about the game. Just look at the FFII guide on the front page and compare it to my website if you want to see the vast number of misconceptions.

[Desert Merchant]

Can somebody please post the link to the download of the game if it even is finished?

[rubah]

the link is in the first post? :] http://www.usamimi.info/%7Eff10fc/

or did you mean link to this? http://www.usamimi.info/%7Eff10fc/pc/game.html

[Dark_Bahamut]

first of all could u plz send a link to the rom and my ffx game will be soo much better

wait forget that i cant download the damn roms so im gonna need somebody to take screen shots for me of every monster if u want this game to come out it will be much better so anybody wanna join my team and take the screens plz

[Vyk]

What team? What are you talking about? And why do you want screen shots of everything o_O

[Dark_Bahamut]

i am making a team called ..::Eruption Productions::.. and we are making a Final Fantasy 10/ 10-2 game i said if anybody wanted to join in the "ffx bestiary" in the final fantasy 10 forum and i need those monsters thats it

[Moon Rabbits]

The second one down is Yuna. The last symbol in her name is the symbol for Na (i forget if it is Hirigana or Katakana).

[*~Endless Night~*]

I fugured out how to start, its space bar but I cant figure out any more

[Captain Maxx Power]

Just look at the FFII guide on the front page and compare it to my website if you want to see the vast number of misconceptions.

To be fair I did post a HUGE list of corrections for said page. So it shouldn't be too innacurate, in theory.

[Zeromus_X]

the graphics look more ffIII to me.

[YTDN]

I want an english version for my GBA, and then I would play it ALL day.

Wow, I just realised how much I've wasted my life on FF games..

[boys from the dwarf]

when tidus has his back turned he looks like galuf to me. its cool but i would probly not buy it if it came out.
