I am working on a FFI PC Remake...

they are running out of ideas

Maybe one benefit of the Square-Enix merger will be that Square can now draw ideas from Enix (They never ran out of ideas with the Dragon Quest series, and if you ever played Dragon Quest 6, then you know what I'm talking about...) In fact, I am even considering using Dragon Quest/Warrior "Travel Doors" (those little transporters you step on) to link my Bonus World to the original world.

As for my progress on the remake... I haven't been able to do much over the last couple days because I've run into some problems getting ready for graduation. A word of advice: Be prepared to go through hell if you plan to transfer from one university to another. Having to retake classes that were really bad the first time around is no fun! I just found out I have to take a lab science course in the summer... *ugh*

Anyhow, as it stands now, I HOPE I will have the Beta ready by the end of this month. I have to put my studies first, but I will get this to you (if not then, then shortly after)--I promise!

UPDATE: I am back to working on the game some more... I have finished the Taumisa Tunnels near the Castle of Wisdom. Next, I will be working on Summons... Any suggestions as to which summons I should include?
The following ones are for sure: Leviathan, Odin, and Bahamut.
Other than that, I'm open for suggestions...

[Xalioniaf]

Shiva? Kirin? Carbunkle? Alexander?

[strawberryman]

Titan?

[Rase]

IMP!

Great suggestions so far...

Let's see, we have: Shiva, Kirin, Carbunkle, Alexander, Titan, and Imp...

Of those, I'll probably use Shiva, Carbunkle, Titan, and Imp. I don't want to inlude Alexander because I've already got a FADE and FAD2 (level 9--I removed REFL..) spell in the game, and Alexander would simply be the next level of "Holy", which, at this point, would probably kill Chaos in one or two hits... NO.

As for Kirin, I want to keep most of the summons as attack-type, so I probably won't include that one (with the exception of carbunkle... which will effectively be a REFL spell for the entire party, so REFL isn't completely gone!

... okay, I have finished Bahamut, Ifrit, Carbunkle, and Doomtrain (Doomtrain is extremely badass... the train whistle is all eerie and haunting... it's great)


Ahem... stay off the train tracks, kids

[Monol]

Wow dude...i am impressed... i respect what your doing regardless of what anyone says so keep on truckin dude...take care..and good luck..ill be rooting for ya all the way

too many colors in carbunkle. You might want to keep it 8-bit. For the most part ^.^.

So...is the special dungeon done? Meybe?

Hey, I just found this topic and I may sound a bit stupid but I never understood how to put events in RPG maker... and well you made a whole game out of it so I am indeed really impressed! I'm looking forward to play it too because I just love FF1!

Thanks for the advice. I've simplified Carbunkle... He's now four colors, and is seen in the screenshot below!
Just a little note: the train I used for "Doomtrain" (an ff-8 GF) is actually the ghost train from ff-6. I changed the colors to be the same as those of a zombie-type creature in ff-1 (zombie dragons, zombulls, etc...)

So...is the special dungeon done? Meybe?

I am more than halfway through the Bonus World... The bonus world map is the exact same size as the original world map, and has 9 towns and 8 dungeons... Overall, it's every bit as complex as the original game itself. So it's more than just a dungeon.


I NEED ANOTHER SUGGESTION!!! Should I use long spell names, or should I keep the original four-letter spell names? Also, if I keep the original four-letter spell names, should I apply them to summons as well? (i.e. BAHAMUT = BAHM) Let me know what you think...

[Dragonfire]

you know there is a patch to correct the awful rm2k/2k3 text

[Xalioniaf]

yeah...lets keep with the continuous 4-letter. So, Bahamut would be BAHM, Carbunkle would be CARB, Doomtrain would be DMTR or DMTN, Imp would be...IMP, Shiva=SHVA, Titan=TITN...

I just managed to get the text working correctly on mine... If you'll notice, the most recent screenshot has different text than the others.

Is this text okay (the text in my most recent screenshot), or would you prefer that I try to find something different?

yeah...lets keep with the continuous 4-letter. So, Bahamut would be BAHM, Carbunkle would be CARB, Doomtrain would be DMTR or DMTN, Imp would be...IMP, Shiva=SHVA, Titan=TITN...

Well, I'll go back and change everything to four-letter then... It will require quite a bit of redoing things I've already done (i.e. going back and changing every instance where a Summon is mentioned), but I will work through this...

By the way, on an unrelated sidenote (sorry), if any of you are pondering whether to buy the new Nine Inch Nails album (With Teeth), I highly recommend it!

[Dragonfire]

oh sry didnt see the latest ss, nah it's good like that

[crashNUMBERS]

This looks pretty cool...

What progam did you use to make this??
