Final Fantasy Tactics: Mercenaries (Main Info Thread)

[LastingDawn]

Alright, I sent you the story event sheet Bastard Poetry (all the way up to the beginning of Chapter 2...) It might be a bit confusing to read. If you need assistance in that, I can rewrite it to be more legible.

[Cheetah]

I'm still touching up Purple Mystery's portrait. Though I'm not sure if you will like the smurk, it makes her look less femanine. But I will keep working on it.

I will also work on the purple of her dress when I take a look at her sprite as well.

[Zozma]

i think she looked pretty sweet without the smirk but maybe its intended for her to be less serious?

[LastingDawn]

Oh her character is certainly serious, the smirk on her face will play into her character enormously, I can promise you that.

[VincentCraven]

hmm... Lasting Dawn, are you still planning to have this game start @ Fort Zeakden?  If so, how?

[LastingDawn]

Ah, that's the whole point of the "flashback" scene, the Flashback goes from scenario 1 to Scenario 4E (The start of Fort Zeakden) After Zeakden Battle, it cuts immediately to Ramza in the Military Academy with the text explaining how Delita nor he could make it in time but when the final blow was struck on Algus, like clockwork the fort exploded violently claiming whatever little life Teta may have had and incinerating Ramza's troops. Unfortunately from that point on, unless I didn't want to include the World Map, I have to follow the same flow of events. Chapter 1, while vastly different in ENTD and structure will be the same areas (not precisely the same maps though..) And the same progress as such, unfortunately I am bound to this by the unknown map structure which we seem far from figuring out.

[Cheetah]

Nooo. The power went off in my apartment building and I hadn't saved much of my work on the Purple Mystery Portrait. Luckally I can just used what I posted and I didn't do that much after that anyways.

[LastingDawn]

Ouch... I hope you can recall what you had working on. I have that problem as well, I leave my computer on for days at a time until it gets turned off by an outside force.

[Cheetah]

Okay it is going to be hard to take me seriously after I ask this but. Do you want Blue Mystery to have clevage showing or covered up?

Preview! Thoughts?

[LastingDawn]

Covered up would be preferable, it is a highly ornate Robe as it stands. The preview looks excellent! Only thing the hood needs is far enough to cover her eyes, and it would be perfect. The smirk is very unpronounced but that's exactly what I was looking for! Rofokare is a highly subtle character and your sprite certainly does justice to her.

[Zozma]

rofo what? hehe... was that the name of one of the characters ive seen it before

[Archael]

rofoKARE!!!

[LastingDawn]

Rofokare is the faceless Female Time Mage from Yuguo Woods, Mercenaries adds a lot to this character, and she is very important to the plot.

[Cheetah]

Yeah I got that smurk to work out pretty well. Okay so I if you are okay with how the sprite looks in the preview with clevage then I can have the sprite done in tonight or tomorrow. If you want it to be more covered up like the original Meliadoul then it is going to take a few days at least and I might run into more problems. I'm fine doing it either way, I just want to make sure I'm doing it the way you want it. With clevage she would be a Type2 sprite and without clevage I'm not sure, but probably Type1.

[Archael]

cleavage will make her even more mysterious


not only will she be hiding something

she'll be hot too.

type 2 please.  

[LastingDawn]

It's not really too revealing, and it might be good publicity, certainly, Type 2 is fine. Once again, thank you for all of your work.

[Cheetah]

Green Light, GO!

[Archael]

Cleavage, GO!

fixed  

[Cheetah]

Voldemort: Haha

Well I have Rofokare pretty much done. I just need to add the extend hood everywhere. Shouldn't be too hard, but I'm on my laptop at work and I need a mouse to do fine detail stuff like that.

PS: I have a few extra colors to work with. Do you want the shoes and decorations to be red or some other color? Oh and what color do you want her eyes to be? I'm making it so they are mostly hidden except for a few frames, but I think it would be cool if they were a really striking color so that when you could see them it would be really noticeable. Thoughts?

[Cheetah]

So here it is for your inspection. I do think the color of the eyes and the red highlights should be changed. But I think it is turning out to look pretty sweet.
