Final Fantasy Hacktics

Ooh, you likes mai red mage?  Or were you talking about the other one?

Anyway, my red mage is now about 45% done.  I might be done by friday.  I still need to work out some details on the hat and the cape, mainly the shot from behind.  I'll post another progress report with a picture tomorrow night sometime after I get off of work.

Here is a preview of my red mage workings:

Once I get the hat and the backside done, it should be pretty easy from there until I'm done.  For the female, I'm probably going to just palette swap a Balmfula sprite and then add a red mage hat.

*Jaw drops*

That is AMAZING!!!

Thanks for the new link Chrona.  I have winrar, but I think the problem was a browser error.  404 and all that crap.

I see he went for the FFV style.  It's good, but a little too royal blue for my tastes.  When I make my sprite, it is going to be a mixture of the blue mages from FFXI and FFTA, and it will be a little more along thier color scheme as well.

I get a File Not Found error when I try to see it, but if Chrona can see it, I must be doing something wrong.

I assume big and ugly would be the result.

I'll see what I can some up with.

To Chrona:

There are Engrish translaters out there on the interwebs that could be used.  That might be close enough to what you were thinking.

To Zodiac:

The forum is looking pretty sweet.  I would like to see the text in true FFT style, but, in my honest opinion,  I think it would probably look silly after awhile.  But, who knows, the FFT textbox turned out really well.

I try to whip something up, but if I end up not liking it, you will never see it.  Quick question:  Are you hopelessly attached to the FFT text boxes on the main page?  I know you put some effort into getting pointer cursor to work, and I wouldn't want to take that away from you.

Well, if it's any consolation, auritech.eu was mentioned on some sprite website I was at the other day.  It was just mentioned as a FFT fansite and nothing more, but that's sounds nice enough to me.

Maybe one day it could get it's own FFwiki entry.

Okay, so I have started my red mage sprite and I will have a starter pic up sometime soon.  The frontside is nearly done, but I need to work on his cape a little.  I running into the same problem VincentCraven is colorwise, except is mainly just red and black.  It needs more white or gold somewhere.  Maybe my cape should be white?

Anyways, I should have a preview up before the week is up.  I could have it done but that stupid hat is going to kill me.  I might just slap a thief hat on'em, stick a feather in the hat and call it mage-aroni.  I just can't get the angle done correctly.

Zodiac, VincentCraven mentioned you had a near complete Blue Mage sprite he was intending on using.  Would you be so kind as to give us a lokksee? Please, please, please!

I didn't vote for L block in the finals, but I sure as hell vote for him/her/it up until that point.

On the Stop/Petrify issue, could you learn the skill if you had an item that prevented the status effect?  Of is it like Zodiac, and it actually needs to affect to be learned?

Also, has anyone given thought to the support/reaction/movement abilities?  Or were we just going to use the Calc set?  If not, I'd say take Fly away from the Bard class and give it the the Blue Mage.  And maybe add some new abilities.  I thought of an interesting/near useless reaction ability, but it sound fun.  I call it Bone Spirit.  It would be kind of like Dragon Spirit except that it adds Undead status instead of Reraise.

I am definitely interest in sprite editing/creating.  I posted in the GameFAQs forum a couple of months ago about doing so, but I didn't get much assistance.

If someone could give me some FFT sprite sheets, I could make new character sprites, make new job class sprites (i.e. red/blue mage), give characters with glitchy attack animations a good battle sprite, or even just editing old job classes deemed ugly (i.e. the toaster that Mediators wear on thier heads).

Could anyone hit me up with the sprite sheets and any suggestions?
