Final Fantasy III (RMXP Remake)

[Krylon]

[longpost]
Okay... So, to make it clear... I'm recreating Final Fantasy III (the Japanese FF3) using RPGMakerXP. I'll be using edited/custom graphics and remade music. Though the base of the game will be the same, some minor changes will be made, and it won't necessarilly look exactly alike.

Here's an update:
I edited a new Onion Kid head using two RMXP RTP sprites. I think it looks a lot more like the Onion Kids and just better in general. I randomly added some props and objects to the levels to make them look a bit more detailed, but since some things don't seem in place, I'll be redoing that countless times. However, the terrain of the 3 maps of the cave are pretty much finalized. I've made the items and equipment that you already have, as well as what you recieve in the cave. I've tweaked the experience and stats to match FF3 pretty accurately.

I'm currently in the process of altering the RMXP battle system to mock FF3's battle system. Not everything about the battle system will be the same as it is in FF3. Here's some changes that I'm most likely keeping:
-The "HP" text does not appear above the column of HPs but instead next to each character's HP.
-Status effects will not take the place of the Max HP. Instead, it will be shown next to the character name.
-All info is very spread out. This allows me to do things like have player names be up to 8 (maybe more) characters.

Minor things left to do:
-Tweak battle system a bit more
-Tweak Prelude and title menu
-Fix encounter rate
-Fix item/exp. accumulation

Major things left to do:
-Modify/create sprites for all enemies
-Create the Land Turtle boss fight
-Remake all the music
-Tweak in-game menu

Believe or not, of all that, tweaking the in-game menu is the worst. So much script modifying in RMXP that it almost makes me want to just leave it as it is. A major thing to do that I left out was that I'm going to create nice cutscenes for the credits after the crystal sequence. The beginning credits for FF3 are the ending credits for my demo, so I'll be doing that as a little treat. Expect a simple site to be up (with many screenshots and info) no later than Sunday.

*EDIT* Since you guys seem to lack interest in this project, and other people from other forums aren't too excited about it either, I've decided to take my time with it. I'm not gonna bother putting up a site yet. For those of you who were anticipating it. Sorry! The wait is gonna be a little longer.
