Final Fantasy Hacktics

Just gave Raven the updated TEST.EVT. 1.2 will be out shortly

Jumza, I thought you might volunteer. I look forward to working with you. All the more since there isn't much I need to teach you.

Pride that's fucking awesome news. You are one of the few people currently around that can best me in event editing. Not trying to root my own horn. I just know that I have a vast knowledge of this stuff  lol

In an effort to release Chapter 2 in a much more timely manner than Chapter 1.
We decided it was best to take on a few addition event editors. I made every event
In Chapter 1 minus a couple that Xif had to rework for me. Doing it all nearly alone
Was a nearly impossible task.

Knowledge of event editing is not a requirement by any means.
I can teach you what you need to know as long as you are able
To follow the tutorial I made. If you can't follow that than even
I cannot help you lol.

I'm not asking people to come in and do something like Dante's intro
Of course that would be great but what we are really looking for are
People to make the events that are just simple room entry, talking and
Walking commands. You would receive any initial help you need.

So if you liked Chapter 1 and you would like to see chapter 2, 3 and 4
Sooner than 18 months apart, then pick up a sword and be part of
Something new and exciting. The larger our team grows the stronger
It gets.

You mean bariaus valley lol. Try giving link the bow and using him as your companion in that fight. Keep him on the side of the river you start on. That's how I won. But I got lucky with the guests. However I did not get the secret. I'll say tho. You have another chance in chapter 1. But that one is much harder.

LOL

Also all the errors raven gave me are now fixed. Update will be tonight. Luckily since it's event related you'll just have to patch with the new ppf and continue on as normal. If you haven't gotten to Ch1 end battle than you won't even notice a change.

hrm... Well I know that most monsters are suppose to Proc 100%. But this seems a bit wtf, lol. Raven should be able to answer once he wakes up, since he setup at the abilites and ASM's. I'm honestly not sure, but I would think that petrify should only at most be between 25-40% cuz 100% is FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

EDIT: He's fixing it right now, so hopefully he will release v1.01 within the next few hours.

There will likely be a v1.02 later tonight as well since i have some end chapter stuff to tweak. but that won't be until later tonight, since im leaving town for a little while to visit a Renaissance Festival

Ali, if you cheat you will glitch. Jot5 JUST came out, why would you have to cheat anyway? You realize that when you cheat,
all of the work we did bugtesting and balancing Jot5 becomes invalid right?

Ali, turn off ALL the cheats for this battle and try again, because Raven uses psx as well and has no issues, we both
tried to recreate your bug and we cannot, so it can only be because of the cheats

It is somehow better than I remember so I can only assume some more tweaks went into it since I saw it last. I about died when camera zoomed on the swords being tossed down. A simple cinematic detail like that just made the whole sequence stand apart from anything I've seen done with events before. Flawless work, easily exceeding anything from the original work.

I'm glad you noticed, a lot of tweaks were done to the final version for every event, this is part of why it took so long to be released, with Raven and Xifanie judging my every event, we had to get everything to nearly flawless before calling them finished.

I think Smoke Break is my favorite skill. Snake's cigarettes are iconic and I think that this is the perfect way to include them as part of his kit.

Hahaha, you can thank Raven for that one.

Unique poses for the formation sprites is a wonderful idea and I want to kiss whoever thought that one up.

I was watching TV right before bed one night when this idea just randomly popped into my head out of no where,
and I thought the same thing once the idea came up. Why has no one thought of this before? We can use any image we want for those formation, so why keep the simple standing frames when we could do something that looks so much better?
Don't worry though, you don't have to kiss me, lol

I apparently have no life because I spent quite a bit of time reading through the Brave Story menu entries. With the letter from Byblos & Boco, I'm almost sad someone didn't edit the game font to put in a character to look like a chocobo print. Also, Ramza is only 18 years old? That beard makes him look a whole lot older. o.o

I'm very glad you read all the entries, maybe we should get a font edit for that
Also, did you also watch the backstory event? Be sure to check back from time to time
as new stuff appears, I'm extremely proud of how the bravestory turned out, and thanks
to Pride and Raven as well as several other members of the team that made this possible.

Also, Journey of the Five takes place roughly a year or so after Vanilla, the reason Ramza looks
so much different will be released to you shortly, if you haven't already figured it out yet

As for the world map, I know I've seen the new image for it before, but seeing it in-game just really has such an impact.

I absolutely love the new Bar graphic. seeing everyone in the Shop and Soldier Office too is just great. +1 for whoever put those together.

For the worldmap we our friends Taichii and Mitchi to thank. As for the background images, this was Mitchi's entry
into Jot5, by just showing up one day with a shitload of custom images. I love ya lil buddy.

As for the problems in Barius Hill, Raven has nerfed this a bit since people seem to be having an issue from it,
but I assure you, once you pass that battle and can finally grind and such as you please, the game becomes much easier.
The beastmaster was another one of those "why not" moments of mine, and Raven kicked ass making it a reality,
however I probably choose a bit to early of an event for something so evil.

All in all, I'm glad you are enjoying it so much, the fact that I already know how critical you can be makes this mean even
more, and I'm sure I speak for the entire team when I say thank you and we hope you enjoy the rest of the chapter
as much as you've enjoyed the first 10% or so.

I 100% agree with everything Celdia has said about... everything!
I love all the new graphic stuff (and I ended up squeeling more than she did I think XD) And I feel better knowing I didn't get pwned as much as she did.
To tell you the truth, when I saw that new title screen + the music + no intro video to skip, I started clapping, then awkwardly realized that you guys can't hear me.

hahaha, Jumza you've shown sooooo much excitement for Chapter 1 and people like you as I've said before, gave me
a lot of inspiration to finally got this beast of a chapter released. It bring me much joy to see how positive of a reaction it is
getting.

Also the few skills I used that had visual effects had a feeling of modification to them.

I know you worked on some of the Jot5 skills for Raven so you will likely see those soon enough, I believe you were
the only one to work on them, so any other change would've been just messing with the stuff in FFTP.

I wrote most of Dante's lines in Ch1, which were edited by Durbs, than again by Raven, the first Chapter if Jot5 was written looong before I even started making Jot5

Just finished watching this a few minutes ago, looking forward to seeing how well you do for the rest of Chapter 1

hahahahahaha!
Goddammit Raven.

Great! Barren is also doing a video playthrough, I look forward to seeing both of them, and anyone else's as well.
Maybe I should do one myself.

Thank you Dome. Hope you enjoy Ch.1 

Please post this in betraying Ali. If raven can't fix it I will when I get home. However I've never had this issue. Are you cheating by chance? Cuz thru will Likely cause a problem since there are quite a few event conditions in that battle

Who is spamming downloads? Lol I find it hard to believe it's been downloaded nearly 500 times already

The rules for the Journey of the Five section are as follows:

1. You may create new threads as long as they are relevant to Journey of the Five.
2. Don't create a new thread for something there is already a thread for.

That's about it, unless I think of something else... but this stuff should all be common
sense at this point.

You have a compressed ISO, uncompress it first with PSP ISO Compressor

(NOTE: Current Version is Journey of the Five - Chapter 1 v1.97e, so make sure you're up to date!)
(NOTE THE SECOND: Currently does NOT work on PSP or on PS1 Consoles.  This will be fixed at a later date.)

Hopefully there aren't too many since we did bug test the hell out of this.

Also, please accompany your bug report with a screenshot
of the error if you can capture one of it, and please make your description of the
error as specific as possible.

As Elric said did a lot of bugtesting across many different emulators for this release,
