Final Fantasy Hacktics

Thanks

I'm completely revamping Aquarius. His name is originally "Cherrub" in the PS version, and is a "water bearer" (though air affinity). So, I'm going with a Tengu sort(which seem to be associated with clouds, which bring rain/water), with a baby's head (To further associate with the air property, because of the "Cherubs", but also because when I heard "Water bearer", I thought of the womb.)

Good to see you around again, Luiakyn. That Saggitarius looks awesome, haha, my second fav after Taurus. Keep it up man. Also, where did I see Libra's head before? I swear it reminds me of some other sprite. Good work on these

Thanks : D Glad you like the Sag so far :3

I think I posted the "making of" shots earlier.

Can anyone fix the cape at the back facing frames of Garland? I have done a couple of edits but none to my liking so yeah I'm stuck with it for a while now.

Awesome, awesome stuff.

I'll keep looking at it and see if there are edits I can make that make sense.
To the cloak or arms?

Luiakyn! I missed you and the crab people!

Seriously though, good work man, as always

Thank you sir -- I'm trying

I need to get back into my grove of proper FFT-style spriting, but I'm back

Updated: Started on Sag~, tweaking the others.

Hey all -- small update: I've been pretty busy with RL stuff, but I'm back for a little bit. I've been working on Lotan, mostly, and a bit on Aquarius.

I don't like my current approach to the "Water bearer"(Aquarius) -- I was hoping for a megamouthed holding water sort of demon, but it might be too "Demonic" (i.e. not FFT like).

I'm also not at all pleased with my Sel (Libra) -- He's pretty lame.

Lotan is very, very basic right now. But I don't know which direction I honestly want to take with him.

With those thoughts exposed, with emphasis that I know they need work, here's what I have. I would definitely appreciate ideas

And a small edit: (might change Lotan's mouth back, I'm downsizing Aqua~

I can definitely see something from that working :3

Really thinking about humanizing Lotan (Leviathan/Pisces). What do you all think?

I've been working on "Sel" (Libra) a bit, also.

Not as fast as the ogre and giant, but hopefully soon.

I'd like to get 1 out every 2 weeks -- but that might not happen.
Edit: Small update:

Damn awesome stuff.
Jimmy, I also consider you "one of the pros", for what it's worth : )

Thanks : D I'll be getting back to work, proper, pretty soon. Took a break to beat "Bravely Default".

Awesome -- Thanks all I'll take all of that into consideration >: D

I really haven't done much work, but small update:

Agreed. I'll check that out.

Yeah sure. Pretty much every all FFT sprites use the colour #282828 or #282820 as the darkest colour (the black). You said you used Rafa as your palette reference so if you look at her eyes and her hands you will find it . It is hardly used on her though, the only other place is on her feet.

oh! I get what you're saying, now. I thought you meant the background >.>

I like the turf idea. I'll try that.

Something looks weird with Duma's back like it got a lump. For the crab guy the arms is well done... I think proper red palettes from vanilla will help even it out and make the shiny crab armor more effective

That's exactly what he has Should I remove it?

And will do.

Forgot to mention that new leviathan palette and fishing line fixes/additions look great!

Awesome : D

*snip*

Excellent advice. That is definitely something I completely over looked like an idiot.

Small update -- Cancer concept. Thoughts? If you think I should scrap entire ideas, let me know, also. The palettes feel real off, so I'll be trying vanilla ones, soon.

Your face looks like it has 3 arms!

Noted I was trying to imitate the back of a bull -- need to work on that.

If you have PSP 5, I'll upload the file. It'll be hard to see as a sheet, due to layers, but:

Ya know, with all the event space we freed up due to finding out that Setup events aren't needed and merging other events that allow it,
someone could actually work these into the story of FFH somehow... (I mean like 1/3 of the event space was freed, so there is a lot of room)

There is sprite space for the 6 sprites (enemy only, not formation) however, ability space would be one of the main issues...

I would volunteer to do this, but I have enough events on my plate. Now, if someone ever wrote some cohesive additions to FFH
to add all the extra Lucavi into the story, I might change my mind, depending on the workload.

That is awesome news, indeed. : O Lucavi abilities are very limited, and almost redundant (if not outright so).

I'm not going to be doing FFXII ones as I felt they were cheesy renditions/replacements for the original 6 that were left out.

In any case, what sort of palette do you all think would work for Lotan? I might let him be a"free" one. The concept is that he is wrapped up in thick fishing line, with hooks in his mouth.

I'll be starting on Sel's full body, soon.

Lastly: Was Duma's old shading better?
