Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hey guys! Redworld here and I have some great news! I'm going to cosplay as Ramza from Chapter 1! (Except the wig is a short blonde one, but who cares. 8D)

Here's what I have so far as far as the tunic goes:
5 yards of light blue cotton fabric
2.5 (?) yards of beige for the cape
1.5 (?) yards of yellow
.5 yards of golden-ish color
.5 of white
.3 of green and red

As for the boots, I'll work on those when I have the money and time!

I also have a pattern I bought and I was told that I can change it to my liking. Seeing the parts and pieces, I'm hoping everything will be alright because I don't think I can sew it up from the middle!

Anyway, I'm doing the XL and it's for a male, so it should fit me with and without a binder and be comfortable. (I am heavy anyway!)

So now it's off to sew other stuff before I start this! Here are the pictures of what I have:

(minus sewing machine)


Deadline: (Hopefully) Aprox. 15 OCT

(If the attachment pictures are too big to see on the forums I'll Photobucket them. I haven't used the attachment thing in a while. Heh!)

You know what you need to make with these?

Coat patches. Because I would so put one on mine, if I had a cool jacket! <333

Aida couldn't take being alone without her brother. She didn't know what was going to happen with her family name, and she would rather have her brother see for, or at least, with her. She wasn't good at taking charge. It's why her brother was there, so she could survive. Without him, she was nothing, and him without her... Well, she couldn't even tell at times. Even if he did think poorly of her, even if he thought she was annoying and didn't want her to exist, she still wished she could've taken the blow instead of him. Then the burden of worrying wouldn't be as much as she normally worried. In fact, it wouldn't exist. She sobbed and continued to hold him, thinking it was the end.

But eventually, she heard words coming out of his mouth. Aida widened her eyes and sat up, looking down at him. He was a living bundle in her arms! Well... barely anyway, but in her eyes, an alive brother was much more appealing than not. Seeing his royal blue eyes was a miracle to her and she was overjoyed over the outcome of her raising magic. She barely could do such a spell during the Fifty Year War, but seeing how it worked, she couldn't help but to feel more confident in her healing spells. Even Zhen-Zhen seemed to be giggling and jumping for joy in its little pig body. But Aida's internal self boasting would have to be saved for later.

"A... Algus! You are alive! I... I thought I lost you! I'm so glad I haven't lost you..."

As she was thinking of her healing capabilities, she did her best to mend the wound with them, the blueish green glow contrasting with the flames in the distance. She tried her best to continue the mending process until she wasn't able to anymore and she collapsed from mana exhaustion next to her cherished brother. She couldn't even lift a finger, let alone her staff. Thinking it was some kind of game, Zhen-Zhen layed right next to her owner, oinking happily. As she waited for Algus to get up, Aida began to tell the stories of her battles as she came here. The monsters, the undead, the perverted squire in town... It was nice to finally talk to him once more. When he did get up, her light blue eyes slowly looked up to him as she smiled faintly. The question had to be asked.

"What shall we do now...?"

Whatever happened, someone wasn't happy with him... Whoever this person was, she didn't know if she would ever forgive him. And if she found this person.... Well, she really couldn't do anything. She was a cleric. A caring, yet weak and fragile cleric with barely any fighting experiences. These were her first. She believed that maybe her brother could do it. She could help him along the way. But honestly, killing wasn't in her genes. She couldn't possibly kill a person. But looking at Algus for now, she knew he couldn't right now. She wasn't going to let him out of her sight for the time being. He needed rest. She needed a night's rest if she was going to heal him anymore than she did, which was just enough the close the wound up and stop it from bleeding. For now anyway. If anything, with the healing she did do, he was going to make it through the night.

"Perhaps we should stay here and wait for the sun to rise again... And then leave for Limberry in the morning? It's your choice though..."

She eventually was able to stand too, but not without leaning on her brother for support. He was warm now, which she burried her face on his shoulder as she closed her eyes. The fire from the fortress was warm too as she slowly lifted her eyelids and head and brought a weak shaking hand to it. It wasn't too far away, but it was still amazingly comforting. She could fall asleep, especially with all the tears she cried. She was always exhausted after she cried, and with seeing her brother dead, she really needed a break. In fact, she closed her eyes and eventually her grasp slipped and she began to fall onto the snow, some melting already from being so close to the fire and its heat.

Ooooooo~! That looks so interesting! I really like this and would love to see more! :3

Alright guys! I'm back to spriting! >D I've missed you guys so much!! *huggles everyone* But that's for another day!

This week, I'll be a bit busy, taking care of my almost intolerable nephews, but for a long time, I've wanted to do a concept sprite of a Homestuck character. The reason why I did this was because in Homestuck, the zodiac represents trolls and maybe one day, I'll reenact Homestuck with a patch, one like you've never seen! But once again, it's for another day!

This sprite is an exclusive for now, and when I'm done with my concept of monster humes and new characters for the patch I'm making, then I shall make a full sheet! But for now, enjoy John! I'll be working on some other sprites later, especially Isabella!

I think so too. I mean if you replace the extra wizards and such I don't think it would cause a difference in the normal wizards. Even if it does you can just replace the sprites with the fft patcher.

Sorry if it doesn't seem to make sense. I'm getting seasick on this boat I'm on and I'm trying to focus not to be that way. Lol!

Oh yeah! I forgot to say. It is after the lion war but doku and I were going to set things up! :3

((This title is here until I can either think of something better. Planning is here if you would like to, say, get or create a character!))

Aida felt alone. She hadn't heard from her brother in what seemed like weeks. She had never been away from her older brother for so long and she was worried. Very worried. She hugged her uribo, who she called Zhen-Zhen, and tried to decide if she wanted to go after him or not. Of course, she wouldn't be alone. She had her uribo to protect a delicate cleric like her. It's all she ever knew how to do. She did have to heal the knights that were injured during the Fifty Year War. It was tough on her, but her brother was always there to motivate her, which she was thankful for.

She looked out the window wondering what he was doing all alone out there. She was worried for his being. She knew how horrible he could be to other people. But she was almost the exact opposite, minus the stubbornness they shared. Unlike him, she gave her heart out to people. She would give a poor commoner at least 5000 gil, provided she had it. There was maybe, perhaps, just a time or two when she was selfish, but that was because she was pushed to be so. But all in all, she was a kind person who never thought of herself for long.

Like she was doing now for her brother. She decided that three weeks was three too long. She needed to find him, and soon. She had heard rumors that he was based out at Fort Zeakden, a week's travel away, and held hostage of a commoner girl. That sounded like him. Yes... He was always about the commoners staying in their place. Aida didn't agree with it, but she never said anything. She always wanted to see him happy in some way, even if it was just a small smirk. Besides, he was her older brother. She wasn't going to tell him what was right or wrong. It was wrong of her, especially if it is true that men are the image of God.

For days, she walked. With Zhen-Zhen by her side and her staff in hand, she continued on. Battles with the monsters were the least of her worries, as she did her best to fend herself, her uribo defending her at all costs. After the battle, she forced herself to take a break of walking and fighting as she healed herself and Zhen-Zhen. It was an hour later before she continued. If there was a town she would sleep there. If not, then she camped out, trying to find caves as more safer and comfortable places to sleep. Aida was the least comfortable while the uribo was sleeping on her stomach.

Her feet ached and she was weak. But she was ale to make a week's time fairly well with the condition she was in now. And it was cold. So very cold... She shivered and continued walking that night when she saw a fire in the distance. She began to wonder. 'What is that...?' She picked up her pace and she almost ran to the fire, despite her legs kicking up the white fluffy snow as she ran. The fort had to be nearby. It must be! But if it was what she thought it was, she didn't know if she would forgive herself. What if her brother was dead for good...? What if she never saw him again? She was terrified... Even though their name went down the drain, everyone what still kept to the house, which was almost no one now, watched her. And it wasn't the same. It would never be the same...

Eventually, she finally arrived to the burning light and noticed that it was indeed a building. "...Oh no...! Zhen-Zhen! We must hurry!" She climbed the small hill that overlooked the fort and saw it burned down in pieces, still burning brightly and with no one running or alive. She quickly scanned for any bodies and after a few times, she saw him. Her brother, laying on the ground with blood all over him. Thankfully, he was far enough from the fire that he wasn't burnt. She gave a cry out and she ran to him and quickly kneeled down, not caring how dirty her dress got and examined him. He was badly wounded, blood all over him. It was the work of someone killing him, she was sure. She sobbed, clentching tight onto her staff. Dead... He was dead...

But wait... She was a cleric... If she could heal knights from terrible wounds, and if she learned how to raise them from the dead if they did die, then maybe she could do the same for her brother! She closed her eyes a little and focused on the magic she could do. That was the first step. Once she was focused, she opened her eyes and began to cast a raising spell she learned. She watched with misty eyes as she did her best to focus, but all she could think about was how she was going to be alone for the rest of her life. She was terrified of being alone, minus Zhen-Zhen. No one could replace her brother...

She worked her raising magic until she was too tired and cold to do anymore. Her power diminished and she eventually layed next to him, sobbing and holding his limp arm. She wanted to "enjoy this quiet moment" with her brother, one last time... Zhen-Zhen followed suit and oinked in dismay and sadness. She could tell how upset her owner was and she cried right along with her. Aida was thinking about what she was going to do after this final moment was finished... Go another week, traveling to the castle and reporting his death? She couldn't... She wanted nothing more than her brother to be alive. She closed her eyes, her tears feeling cold against her face. They felt like they were going to freeze.

"Algus... No... I don't want you dead... I want you to live... I don't want to be alone..."

Yes! Welcome, welcome! This is FFH, where you hack all night and sleep all day! And if you are the best hacker, then your dreams will come true!

A similar story is with me when I first joined! (I wonder if I get get my brother to join... He likes FFT too and I don't think he knows you can hack it. dnfnhdsh)

So I answered all the questions to the best of my ability so far!

Q. Where did the monsterhume come from?
A. It's unknown the true whereabouts of the monsterhume. Some say that they came from the gods and they were here this whole time. Some think that they were the work of the devil and are some kind of chamera, such as the Church views. As far as when they first appeared is also a mystery. They started showing themselves after the Lion War.

Q. Do they transform like werewolves?
A. In a way, yes, but it's a bit different. Instead of transforming on, say, a full moon, they can transform when they want, providing they have the MP to do so. If they don't have the MP, they can either use Olivi Grass (Ether) or a full night's rest.

Q. Do they thirst the blood of humans?
A. No.

Q. How well can they control themselves?
A. They control themselves just as well as humans can.

Q. How do monsters react to the monsterhume?
A. When the monsterhume are wild, the monsters treat them as their kin. When they are not, the monsters kill them off last.

Q. How do they react to bloodshed or the scent of blood?
A. It depends on the type of monsterhume and their personality. An average panthume, gobblehume, and cocahume react violently since they love to battle. However, chocohume, urihume, and some dragohume usually try to avoid bloodshed and battles at all costs.

Q. Are there ways you can tell who is a monsterhume?
A. Yes. Each tribe wears a different style. For example, chocohumes have feathers for arms (although they still can use their hands) while panthumes wear fur and have tails.

Q. Are their existence public fact, on the same level as Bigfoot, or something in between?
A. It's about in between. There were a few cases in which there were actual sightings that the CHurch took note of, but other than that, there were only rumors. Some reasons could be that some monsterhume are harder to detect than others. For example, the only way to tell a gobblehume from a human is by their long pointy ears.

Q. Does the Church cultivate paranoia of monsterhume in the form of witch hunts?
A. Because it's not "natural", the Church has indeed issued hunts on these races.

Q. Does the CHurch actively condemn monsterhumes in public, or do they pay/support in secret fanatics that spread hysteria about these monsterhumes?
A. When they actually do find a monsterhume, they either kill it on the spot or hire someone to do it for them, depending on how convenient it is.

Q. Does the CHurch exaggerate the signs/true nature of monsterhumes to paint opponents/outcasts in a negative light?
A. They do exaggerate the monsterhumes as much scarier beasts than regular monsters are to try to get them to hate and kill them.

Q. How does that impact their use in combat?
A. Since the Church started to hunt them down, they have been more aggressive with humans approaching them.

Q. Do monsterhumes have cults/followings that worship/greatly admire them for their powers?
A. They have small followings all over Ivalice. They are attempting to fight for them and their rights.

Q. Do monsterhumes need to eat more than a typical human?
A. They do. They need to eat at least twice as much as a normal human does.

Q. Do they need to eat anything specific, perhaps relating to their specific monster?
A. No, although most of them love to eat meat.

Q. Can they eat their own monster type?
A. It is possible, but they don't like doing it.

Q. Do they feel any empathy to monsters in captivity or being fought and killed?
A. They do since they are their cousins.

Q. What do they think when their kind kills humans?
A. It depends on their status. If they are allies then they try to avoid them getting killed. If they're wild, then they try to kill the humans as quick and painfully as they can.

Q. How well can they learn job classes?
A. They can learn job classes like a human, but it's more difficult.

Q. Are they unable to learn certain skills or even entire classes?
A. There is nothing they can't learn.

Q. Do they learn skills and jobs faster than a normal human?
A. No. In fact, it's much slower.

Q. Do monsterhume live longer/shorter than a human?
A. They live just as long as a human, maybe even longer.

Q. How well do they sleep?
A. They sleep as well as humans, but better than they in uncomfortable positions, such as the ground.

Q. Is there a possibility of carrying out natural urges while sleeping?
A. It is possible for them to do so.

Q. Do they have a smell to them?
A. Yes.

Q. Can they cover up this smell?
A. It is possible in human form, but there is no possible way when in their monster form.

Q. Do monsterhume know and support each other?
A. Naturally, they know who each other are, so they do support each other.

Q. How do animals react to their presence?
A. They know they are part of their world and are friendly towards them.

If there's anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask! :3

Thank you so much for the questions! I'll answer them once I answer them on paper as well. They seem like important things to think about patchwise and RPwise!

Does anyone remember this patch in progress? Well, I decided that the story was terrible, and I want to rewrite it from the ground up. I was told that making an RP is the best way to do it! Anyway, I know what I want, but at the same time, I want some kind of structure so that it makes the story interesting. I'm wondering if someone would like to brainstorm with me? Here's a few ideas that I have (I will update this when I have even more)

What we know
* We know that Aida is Argath's sister. They are almost polar opposites.
* Monster humes. Yes. We are using them.

Here are some ideas for the story:
* Meets an intelligent undead who offers them a rare object. In return they must go to a barren desert, where they must rescue someone. But mysterious nightly attacks terrorize the area.
* Meets a monster hume that offers a magical weapon. In return they must go to a commoner's cellar, where they must recover some stolen merchandise. But when they witness a horrible accident, the party gets an opportunity to seek revenge for something in their past.

I know it's not much to work with, but I would love to try to come up with something with someone! Even just to start off the RP, any other ideas could be great! <3

I don't even remember posting in here, but if I have, I have changed a little!

OMG YOU'VE BEEN USING HER!??!?! FXNFJDSBFHJDFNJFNASJKFNDSJKFNSDHJNSL!!!!! <33333333 What class is she? I must know these things!!!! 8D

@Xi: LOL! It could be true. xD And thank you! And hugs are nice, so... 8D

@Kage: Yes of course!! <333 *hugs* As for leaving again, the future can only decide it. I'm not sure, since all the fandoms are all going into a melting pot and I have so much to do, but I will try to make some time to sprite a bit more and be in a tournament or two! X3

Yes I did! At least I remember that much. xD I think I still have it somewhere in my folders... I gotta look deep inside. xD;; And thanks!

80%? XDXDXD Who came up with the statistics!?

I don't even remember anymore what I did! I'm probably posting in the wrong part of the forum, but I dunno anymore.

I just had a thought while doing a commission for someone and I ended up watching the latest tournament, and said, "OMG, I miss these guys." So I came back to see how you guys were doing and everything! I hope to see some familiar faces because new faces scare me. D; (Well, not really, but I'm shy and all so yeah~)

In short, no, I haven't forgotten about you guys at all! You were always in the back of my mind the whole time I was gone! <3 I just hope I can stay not gone long enough to enter a few more tournaments in the future!

I also decided I was going to run with a few ideas of some fandoms I'm in. *coughhomestuckcough* So maybe you guys can help me out!

See you guys in the future! <3

(Move at your will if I put this in the wrong place, and I'm sorry. I haven't been on this section in 3894583490 years. x.x)

So one day when I was driving to school, I was thinking about Pokemon for some reason and then I was thinking of FFT. I was thinking of the throw rock move and then I was like, "What if you could catch a monster with a Pokeball!?" And so the idea wouldn't leave my mind until I posted this! Is it even possible to do this? It would be awesome to see!

Feel free to work on this as hard as you like. xD

So I was looking on Tumblr under the Final Fantasy Tactics tab and found this. THIS SEEMS SO TRUE.

Delita: We must hurry to Ziekden to rescue Tietra!
Ramza: Yes, we must!
Delita: Actually hurry!
Ramza: Yes, we must!
Delita: ....Ramza?
Ramza: Yes?
Delita: You've said that we must hurry to Ziekden, but it seems as if we've been walking back and forth between Eagrose and Gariland for six months.
(later)
Agrias: We must hurry and rescue Ovelia!
Ramza: Yes, we must!
Agrias: We must-- Ramza, why did you just send three of our best warriors away to mine for gold on a distant mountain?
Gaffgarion: I am very cold.
Ramza: Gaffgarion, I've already explained to you that I took all of your equipment and made you a white mage *for your own protection.* Besides, those knickers look lovely on you.
(even later)
Mustadio: Is it your birthday yet?
Agrias: No, not yet.
Mustadio: How about now?
Agrias: Not for several weeks, no.
Mustadio: How about now? Is it your birthday now?
(later still)
Ramza: ALMA, I'M COMING FOR YOU AS SOON AS I FINISH ALL OF THESE ERRANDS SET FOR ME BY RANDOM STRANGERS IN TAVERNS! IT WILL ONLY BE A FEW MORE MONTHS I PROMISE!!
