I am working on a FFI PC Remake...

[mihalis]

No specific plans for another game as of yet. However, I am finally finished taking the LSAT (for those of you considering law school, I suggest you spend at least a year preparing for it--It was the hardest test I've ever taken, and I wish I had prepared more). Anyhow, I get my scores in three weeks, and they will determine my future... Wish me luck!

As for a new game, well... I don't want to use RPG Maker next time. I would prefer to either attempt to build the engine from scratch in C++ (time consuming, complicated, and potentially difficult, but worth it), or make use of an engine which allows for a first-person, "Step" dungeon view (similar to Wizardry and Bard's Tale) in addition to the traditional top-down map view. This way, players would have to find their way through the dungeons the old-fashioned way!!

Anyhow, if you happen to know of an engine that offers this, please let me know, as it will save a great deal of time in getting started on the game. Thanks, and I'm glad you all are enjoying the remake.

Could you post a mini-walkthrough for the bonus world, or at least how to get to it? And is there any storyline connectinos in this world? Or is it just plain extra. I can't find it!!!

[seein2stars]

Startin to download it... very excited, amazing what you have done by taking time to do it...

OFF SUBJECT

any remakes of ffIII?

if so link me, im a newby

[seein2stars]

Just wait for the game to come out. Assuming it can comes out on time it'll be only a couple more days.

THE GAME IS NOW COMPLETE (or as complete as it will get)!!

You may now download it HERE!!

Please pass this around, and enjoy!

i start downloading it and it wont download all the way, it stops, its sucky

EDIT:

I have it downloaded... the only little bugs i see are (but not important enought to make a difference), i want to hold down the command button for straight attacks, seeing people in the shops, i like that for some reason even if it is like the nes version, and a control panal. that would be nice

but i love how fast battles are, very good job, i would have payed money for it

OK... I'm not quite ready to post a walkthrough. I would rather someone finish it first. However, here's some hints for how to get to the Bonus World! If you don't want a spoiler, then don't highlight the text below!!!

(SPOILER)(1) Make sure you have all four orbs lit (all four fiends defeated).
(2) Go talk to Bahamut again. He'll give you an item which can be used in a particular place.
(3) Search Coneria Castle VERY carefully. If you look hard, you will find what you are looking for.
(4)Look for a loose brick in a part of the castle which appears to have no real purpose.

As for the Bonus World, I tried to tie it into the storyline of the original game, but you have a much greater degree of freedom from the moment you enter the Bonus World, so while it does have "story" it is not a "linear" story (hence, no "storyline").
**P.S> You can actually see part of the Bonus World from inside the Earth Cave, but that is not how you get in!

(1) Nothing you mentioned above was a bug. All of those things are intentional.
(2) Holding down the command button for 'straight attacks' would occasionally lead people to accidentally attack when they meant to do something else. It is set up for battle strategy rather than speedy convenience. If you want auto-fire, try a turbo controller.
(3) 'Seeing people in the shops'... hmmm. Well, I had originally intended to include very nice shop artwork, but was unfortuantely unable to find an artist who was willing to help. As for designing the shops as is seen in later versions (the "walk-in" shop)... that's completely out of the question! I want to stay as old-school as possible.
(4) Control panel?! I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Could you be a little more specific?

any remakes of ffIII?

Are you looking for an ff3 (Famicom=Japanese) remake or an FF6 (released as FF3 for the SNES) remake?

If you're looking for an FF3j remake, myself and several others that post to this forum had discussed the idea, but I have since lost track of it. I've been extremely busy with school, leaving precious little time to do much else!

im a newby

i mean, what buttons do what? up is up arrow, command is this button, cancel is this button....

sorry for the newbyness

[Bacon-bits]

I was just getting around to downloading the latest version but I can't connent to the website where it's hosted. Server problem or just my crappy computer?

Edit: Oh and Seein2stars, I use Z for confirm, X for cancel, Shift for Save (while on overworld), and 4 to see the ORBS

[ff-fanatix]

and if you qwish to exit full screen mode hit f4....

[mihalis]

i mean, what buttons do what? up is up arrow, command is this button, cancel is this button....

Okay... As i remember it (I'm not at my home computer right now):

123 (in that order) = Show world map (same as B+SELECT on NES version)

4 = Show four orbs... If it doesn't show right away, press it again. It will disappear after you press 4 again or enter/leave a location.

5 = Show experience needed for next level.

SHIFT = Save your game (only works outside).

ESC = Show menu.

ENTER (or action key) = Talk to people, open chests, etc...


I hope this helps! Enjoy the game.

Over the last couple of weeks, my friend has had a kind of crappy internet connection (Cox Cable really sucks). I apologize for any problems this (may have caused/causes). He is working on the problem, and it should be resolved shortly. The best advice I can give is to try again later! Sorry...

EDIT: My friend just told me that his connection is back up and running, so the download link should work fine now. Again, sorry for the difficulties!

[Nanashi-kun]

you actually left the invisible woman inside castle corneria... you my friend are a god.

Hey I said this was for purists, didn't I?
Thanks. I also made sure that every monster area on ther map is accurate too (such as the imps on the southern edge of the Earth Cave peninsula and the Trolls/Zombulls, etc. northeast of Pravoka).

I hope you enjoy the game!

[Butz]

Wow, Just wow.. I've just noticed the topic and read it page by page.. You've done an awesome job.. You've even got me excited about making my own remake, but I have no experience in RpgMaker at all..

BTW, I've spread the link to FF1 Remake site on a couple of forums, I hope it is OK with you

[hal9000]

I'll be frank,
I'm a noob and I was wondering if this is how my text in the game is suppoesed to look?
Because I was looking at previous screenshots and mine looks very bad compaired.

I'd tell you how to fix this if we hadn't already had an extensive discussion about how to do so. Read my earlier posts (I think around pages 6 or 7).

By all means... Pass it around!

I started playing the Remake, I've played the Original, you did a great job on it, I've noticed I minor bug, the game doesn't run smoothly, it is noticeble when walking, I dunno if it is from the game or my PC..
