Those enemies are placeholders lol, there won't be that many lol

Here, because you asked so nicely, I grabbed a couple screencaps from my current savestates, though some of these are pre-format and fixes...

Thanks for these, Elric! I really appreciate it!

It's amazing how much fun you can have just looking at pictures. <3

What's this?

[alkarl]

If I didn't know any better...that is FFT's very own Golden Saucer.


CHOO CHOO ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!(?)

[Angel]

I think this proves my point correct that nobody really knew about the sound novels outside of Japan.

[Nyzer]

It's still part of the same Sound Novel, Pande. The "Golden Palace" is the name of the location most of the Diary of Nanai's adventure takes place in.

Originally, FFT had four Sound Novels in it that players could check out, but these Sound Novels were never translated outside of Japan. And they were just disabled outright for release in English

[3lric]

Correct, this image is what you get after you've beaten the Diary of Nanai and choose to play it again.

[Pandemoniu]

Woah. Did not know that.

That outta be real nice.

I like these extras. ^^

[Jumza]

The books are actually a lot of fun, I've only tested the Diary of Nanai, but I had a blast doing so. If it was in game ( which it will be now ) I'd definitely play it a few times through.

You know, this kinda reminds of the Gerimonique Scriptures.

I had always wondered why they were so unique an item with such an unique mechanic in the game.

[KingUrameshi]

All of the treasure items you would get from propositions were originally supposed to do something I think. Like the materia you get was supposed to strengthen magic so on and so forth. Its great that this team is very knowledgeable about the game and take the time to put in the extras that the original developers left out.

This is hardly a mod and more of an original work that vastly surpasses the original in terms of gameplay.

Actually, there was 5 Novels in game, one of which was the scriptures, which was the only one we got, as it actually has to do with the story of FFT unlike the others. However, these work on much much more of a choose your own adventure style, whereas the scriptures were linear.

I've never heard anything to confirm that, however it doesn't seem to unlikely that this may have originally been the intention before deadlines hit for square. It seems like a real cool idea. Though I cannot say currently how many treasures we will use in Jot5 aside from the books.

Thank you for all the kind words everyone, I'm currently working on the 3rd of 4 Sound Novels, however this one will take a bit longer (though the last 2 only took me 2-3 days each, so longer is like, an extra day) since it was never made avaliable in tactext format, so I'm working off the very old HTML that Heian (DuranBubba) did many years ago. This makes it a much more difficult task than the last 2, however, it will be done non the less

We intend to allow unlocking 1 per chapter, assuming the 4th one is translated by the time we work on Chapter 4

For those wondering on progress.

You must understand that the way we are doing things now is different from before. Our goal is to have nearly EVERYTHING done for the entire game by the time the re-release comes out, asside from events. This makes it easier to make future releases as all that will remain for future chapters is the making of the events. (asside from whatever small things need adjusting and such).

Our -goal- is to have the re-release out near the end of this year, no promises, but it is looking in our favor.
