Final Fantasy Hacktics

Since his whereabouts are unknown, he could've gone all Guts about things and learned to fight from travelling marauders, making him the most bad-ass 8 year old around. As for the lack of motivation to dethrone a good king... "Only a fool searches for logic in the chambers of the human heart" -Ulysses Everett McGill

I'm curious if any Game of Thrones characters could be put on the table? Maybe a little John Snow/Hound/Kaleesi action? They can't really perform crazy sword abilities in the show (or the novels), but it leaves some creative freedom to surprise us if they make it into the game.

I'm also curious about Magic Pots. Any hope for them later on in the game?

Whatever your team decides, I trust it

My vote for the cloaked individual is Samuel L. Jackson. Since the possibilities are seemingly limitless, he is the safest bet.

It would be cool to see King Orinas as a young man appearing in the game. (He is in the vanilla "Brave Story" under "Persons"). He would only be an adolescent, unless you consider that his profile was in the beginning of the game and that several years pass by the end of the story. He could be a young warrior hellbent on destroying Delita's rule.

Never thought of it that way, but it does make sense. 

Damn it! If I was immortal, I would totally be committing seppuku right now!  For the dishonor I have wrought upon this thread!

Yes yes yes... A bunch of underrated characters from all our favorite animes, video games, and "other" will be showing up. We keep suggesting characters. Not to be misunderstood... I'm excited too . It just seems that the possibilities run endlessly.

I'm simply curious if these suggestions are actually helping or are we delaying the re-release and Chapter 2? Characters aside, is there any other part of this project that seems lacking? Or anything we could input that might expedite things?

Please excuse me (everyone) if I seem out of line. As said, top-notch work and many thanks. And if I'm wrong and everything here is as it should be... put Vampire Hunter D in the mix. A creepy battle with him in the very dark castle setting seems like a great idea for a mark (hypocrisy; sometimes *sigh* it just feels so damn good...)

A jump move plus some reworked Monk abilities... I think he would be an interesting special character. However, his overall design is kinda goofy and might be outta place in this game, unless his sprite was created to more fit the mold of this universe.

Also consider that he's probably the cloaked person with the stones. I swear, I'm about 90% on this...

I do got a lot of love and respect for some Super Mario though, make no mistake.

It sure does buddy... ALL HAIL KING ELRIC!

Definately don't strain your team over these suggestions. If giving Link the Bull Demon spin animation as it is is easier, I'm still down with that. Leaving it alone also works.

I do feel Mustadio's look is practical and fits fine in Chapter 1, but if he joins later on in the game, a sprite change would be nice. Worst case, I'm sure I could swap it out myself.

My FF6 reference for him was based on the use of the Cyan sprite for two other characters. I had considered a custom sprite that only bears a resemblence to Edgar, without actually being him. BUT IF IT IS SO, I DEMAND! A CHAINSAW ABILITY SLOT BE ADDED! (just kidding buddy)

Keep up the good work!

Interesting...

Well keep on keepin' on. We're all rooting for you

I apologize. I meant to imply that with the talent your team has demonstrated with this project, it would be nice to see programmers like you achieve financial success while creating games that we fans can truly enjoy. The portfolio idea wasn't to make money, but to show your work to obtain a position where you could make money on original properties and have more tools available. I meant no disrespect

Two suggestions for ability animations in Dante and Link:

Could Link's whirlwind strike animation look similar to the Bull Demon's (the actual name escapes me) spin ability? Maybe remove the lightning and have it spin around once with a blue palatte instead of the red? It is his only sword ability, afterall.

Dante's skill sets were very creatively done, but I'm curious if we could maybe spice up some of his animations? Could Stinger utilize the sprite of "sword-extended" instead of "critical"? His character is all about "style" and a piece of the fun of unlocking new abilities in any version of FFT is seeing them in action.

One more thing... could Mustadio's sprite get replaced with something better? Maybe leave it alone for the re-release, but have a cooler one ready to go for Chapter 2? For example, it would be cool to see his sprite & abilities mix with Edgar's from FF6. I never liked his sprite. It seemed like a pratical design, but still dull, even when I started playing vanilla back in middle school.

Hope my suggestions were appropriate and helpful. Thanks

Two questions

1) Is it possible to add this modded game to a "programming porfolio" that could be used to join a gaming development company? As impressive as this mod is, it would be nice to know that you guys could finally make some money at providing us with such amazing gaming experiences that don't feel "homogenized".

I can't offer any time and have almost no programming skills, but if there was a way to kick in some cash, I would absolutely be down.

2) (optional) Are there any updates on Chapter 1 re-release? (I don't mean to add any pressure. Just humbly inquiring )

With the understanding that an ETA is near impossible to predict, where exactly should I look on this site once it is re-released? Will there be a big announcement or a new thread? I keep popping in to see if it's out and it dawned on me that I might not notice it once it is. I ask because amidst many other things going on, I can't wait and would like to download it immdiately upon it's release.

I apologize in advance if these are stupid questions. My time is always pressed tight , so I would like to know that fastest way to check for it.

I must point out that my initial suggestion of swapping it out with a badass, muttonchop/handlebar mustache combo would've had the exact same desired effect for the story. Perhaps it will come in the later chapters when his costume changes...

The only way to beat him is to buy a Sega Saturn in the game and show him that your party already owns one! YEESSS!

I have spoken all my peace for now... I shall wait patiently for the re-release...

Lemmy was technically Kill Master from the game Brütal Legend, but it's ya'lls call.

I only have one other suggestion, but please bare in mind that it may not be necessary until the chapters of the game. Could you add more rare items and skills learned, found, or stolen from really any other aspect of gameplay? What I mean is, I enjoyed that parts of vanilla when where you had to Move-Find rare items at Nelvaska Temple, steal Genji Gear from Elmdor, learn Zodiac from Elidibus, etc. They were like tiny, in-battle sidequests apart from the main goal of winning the battle.

You guys seem incredibly talented and intelligent with your work on this project, so I have no doubt that you have some interesting and amazing plans for this that you won't spoil. I simply wanted to cast my vote for more of this to be present, as it not only increases the challenge, but the reward(s).

Keep up the good work. Thanks

Greetings! Not too familar with these forums. Please inform me if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Thanks

I downloaded this game out of boredom, thinking it would just be another crossover, and I couldn't have been more wrong. I won't repeat what everyone else has already posted, but I certainly second all of them. I do have a few suggestions though...

*Why Segata Sanshiro didn't make the five, I'll never know. But maybe as an optional superboss....

*I think Ramza would fair better without the chin-strap gotee. Maybe a handlebar mustache would work better, but if it's a shaggy, civil war style one, people will start posting that he's too OP.

*On that note, please make Motörhead (or even just Lemmy) one of the marks (eventually). I will quit my job and come work for you guys if you do. Honest In-jin.

*It may have already been said, but please KEEP the items expensive. Some will disagree, but I thought it was an interesting challenge trying to conserve them by using abilities and spells. Like Survival Horror/conserving-your-ammo type of interesting.

*Everyone's got their requests for other cross-over characters. I heard Crono (Cosmic Samurai class?), which was my first choice, but would you consider any of the characters from the Onimusha series?, (which is criminally underrated, in my opinion). Even just as marks, it would be cool to see them make an appearance.

Looking forward to the re-release of Ch.1. Thanks again for all your hard work! Yasumi Matsuno could learn a lot about what the fans really want in their FFT games from this. Cheers!
