Final Fantasy Hacktics

Yeah,This is a huge project since FFT has tons of characters and some of them dont even appear in game,I plan to make all characters that exist in the game,pictures(Bar,Shop,Solider Office),Brave Story,cutscenes,incomplete sprites and unit.bin

Its a free project,everyone can join and leave wherever you want.

I did a compilation of all characters

*No Portrait
**The Kanbabrif at the scene has a different design,so need to have a complete sprite with this design
***Not doing Orinas,cuz he is a baby

I already have all images/portraits/sprites for reference

Some of them were already finished. Check again. haha.
Sorry, I don't know them specifically, but I'm sure some were finished,
such as 20yr old female by Zozma. Me myself finished the 20yr old male, but converted him into a gambler.

This is definitely a great idea. I would recommend adding a list of completed ones with direct links to them on the sprite download page and perhaps the thread in which they were completed.

Mike have you posted a completed 20yr Male without the gambler additions?

I haven't tried converting him into the normal 20yr Male yet.
I guess I should just submit the male gambler sprite.

I had started on the 10 year old boy, but i was using squire arms when now its best to copy the same arms i used for the 10 year old girl.

here let me give u what i have because im done.
I had been working on this from WAY back before shishi had a previewer so things might not line up right either, i dont know

dont use the arms you see there except for the walking frames. i really suggest taking the arms from the completed 10 year old girl to finish.

I will focus on the 10yo boy and Balbanes,cuz I already started him

remember, 10 yo girls arms will probably work for both this 10 yo boy and the generic 20 yo male as well.

It will be a pleasure working with the 20yr old male sprite.
His arms would work like in this sprite of mine which was based solely on the 20yr old man itself, plus monk's arms:

the arms i used for the 10 year old girl were recolored from malak. the unfinished commoner humans it fits perfectly on because their arms aren't really that big

Don't both versions of Souryo need to be compelted? The one with the hat and the one without it?

Anyway, great idea. I didn't even know half these sprites existed. Could someone post a couple pics of the extremely unfamiliar ones? Like Black Haired Priest and both drunks.

the hat souryo is already done

here the sprites/portraits of
-Kanbabrif(only to show his outfit)
-Black Haired Priest
-Phony Saint
-Drunk 1 and 2

Drunk 2 looks a lot like 40 year old man:
(http://www.ffhacktics.com/sprites/original/40M_2.png)

Thanks for the post though--I don't think I've ever seen that Phony Saint. Mighty interesting...

Are you sure that's Phony Saint? I could have sworn that belonged to Teta?

thats the one you see in the menu if you put teta in your party in a vanilla game

i would say its neither teta or the phony saint

Oh well yes, does the Phony Saint have anything? Or is it just Ramza? I know she does have the Ajora picture.

seriously... ditching this project before it even started?

what a bummer

I agree--then again, I'm not a spriter here. This should definitely be a community effort. We've gathered the sprites, now we just need bases (like Simon or someone for the Black Haired Priest), and spriters who could handle the task.

Yeah. This is a great project. Complete all those incomplete sprites so that they can be use in any ways. ^^

Its noy my fault,a lot of things just appeared from nowhere and had to deal with 'em,but I already took care of everything and Im now returning to spriting.

Im working on one of the Warjilis Sailors,I started messing with him and he is a very nice sprite

Quote from: "jimmyjw88"Yeah. This is a great project. Complete all those incomplete sprites so that they can be use in any ways. ^^

Yeah, imagine a random battle with the shop guy, the shop girl and the fur shop clerk
There's many possibilities to this project. Just take it slow if you must, as there's a lot to do it seems..

Yeah, slow but don't stop ^^

BT, can you post some of the unfinished sprites? (their frames)

This seems like a good place to test out Asmo's idea of having multiple spriters working together on a sprite, and we even have the added luxury of the design and profile steps being removed in some cases. We need some joiners and closers.

Post some stuff up, and I might volunteer to be a joiner. No promises, though.

updated the little boy

added in the 10 year old girls arms, as expected they work like a charm

hes missing dead frames and singing frames and that's it. and of course some fine tuning which i am not up for

the arms on the attacking frames need to be repositoined or perhaps the body itself.

frontal attacking frames might need to be reworked.
someone else fix it, i am a bit retired here

Other stuff i dont plan on doing anything else with *hands it over*

Rudvich
Bariten
and a human sized "arute" version of  Altima

rudvich and bariten have more done to them than their originals
and i used a squire as placeholder for some frames

I will post some single frame sprites and some evtchr characters

I have a rear walking animation for Hooded Gafgarion, I will post it.

Well,I finished the Warjilis rear views in order to complete the 5 main poses.

Im having problems with his Baldness

PS:I found two sprites by Zozma

The Shopkeeper Daughter: http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/files/sample_440.png (http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/files/sample_440.png)
High Priest Funeral: http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/files/fyun_274.bmp (http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/files/fyun_274.bmp)

Sweet! These are coming along great. They'll make some good basses for other sprites.

youll also notice that completing bariten would also aid in completing one of the male mourners who has the same kind of robe

Hmmm... I never noticed that! ^_^

The Mourner,60yo Man and Bart,all them use the same robe,but Bart has some details on his robe

btw zozma,do you still have the bald berseker,it would be great to the sailor design

Looking great!

well no, only whats on the site here. but the arms should be swapped out for barrets arms which are a more up to date version of his arms

the arms are kinda fine for me,Im having major problems with head,since there is no bald with no shirt on FFT,it turned out to be very difficult,I took his torso from the Berseker with a hat and boots and pants from the 20yo man.

Im still working on the arms since they look like shit,I didnt expect that removing that armlet would cause so many difficulties

you're trying too hard for the head on the back views. Keep it simple. Also theres some inconsistency with the arms between the front and back views. The back view has larger delts. Much larger.

I just cant do the head,I have no reference,for me,working with balds showed up to be more difficult than work with hair

I would be very happy if someone make a proper head for the back views

why not use the back view of Malak to get it closer to being bald. . . its just a different skin tone but he is basically almost bald. . .

I just got home,Malak didnt work,it has a different style of shading,after checking this,I just realized that I need someone to fix his head

I did a change for the arms,I took Barret's arms(notice that I didnt removed the armlets to preserve the preview before I try to remove it),from my own experience,I say that the back view is inconsistent comapred to the front view(the arms looks flat)

Here is what I have of hooded Gafgarion. Though you can dismiss the palette of the walking animation and I may have removed his chin strap, but that is easy to replace.

Yeah, arm sprites won't be necessary~!

Ripped Gif, compiled, fixed to a workable 16 color palette. needs the walking deciphered I had 7 frames from the dissected GIF.

can now be possible to place parts in a sprite sheet

The 7 frames are just for the loop of the animation. A couple of them are duplicates. Sorry I'm at work so I don't have access to my actual work, just what I found in the Chronicles of Kanbabrif thread.

No rush this is a compilation project of the community anyway . . . I'm also busy but I'm sure anyone that will take on him can just look at the walking anims of others to decipher that. . .

the second frame with his hand out can be used for singing anim already. . .

he sure puts his gloves fast when removing the cloak. . .

Quotehe sure puts his gloves fast when removing the cloak. . .

Great observation!

Quotethe second frame with his hand out can be used for singing anim already. . .

Agreed.

I think the female White Mage might be a really good source for the arms for Hooded Gafgarion.

I just noticed the female priest has gloves. . . damn. ..  but u are ryt it is the best base to use Cheetah. . . will do the sheet ryt now

*pls help decipher the back facing walk. . .

Just regarding that the executioner have a moustache(check front frame)

well,I decided to scracth arms for the sailor,and I will give the name of "Mitch" to him,he reminds a friend of mine who is called Mitchel

omg,I didnt recognized Mike,Im used to zefane portrait

I'll switch back to Zefane after I finish Lazuli's sprite.

QuoteI will give the name of "Mitch" to him

Sounds like a good name. lol.

What sailor? The bald one?

i LOVE your new portrait Mike i love alot of your sprit work lol.(this has nuthin to do with this topic)

Thanks Jumza~! congrats on going over 100 posts, Jumza.
(nothin' to do with the topic)

Haha. Okay. Back to topic..


BT~, can you post this sprite: Warjilis Bandana Sailor??

Yeah,the bald one,he deserves a name and Im tired of calling him "Bald Sailor" or "Warjilis Sailor' or something related,now he have a identity


Bandana Sailor/Clothed Sailor:

No front facing sprite available?
I guess we could base the monk's clothes for him, if that's the case.

QuoteBalbanes Beoulve - Looking for someone to finish it

Oh yeah, totally forgot about him. Hmm..

man,those two sailor have some unique designs.

Mitch(Bald) is the only Bald with nothing covering the back view and dont wear something to cover the chest

The Bandana One:Well,he wears a bandana,and his shirt is different,he wears a racing shirt(?)

Wow the pants I have been looking for!!! not baggy on the sides but straight down. . . I'm sure Elmdor will match that except for the back view maybe my reno will work for legs. . . for the shirt it looks like a male tank top with a V neck. . . the arms is unique if you finish that I need them ripped for a Street Fighter sprite. . . the muscle definition is perfect for my needs. . .

about the bald sailor back view want to take a whack just on the head part?

I just need a head fix,I can handle everything else,but feel free to do whatever you want.

For the Bandana Sailor,the 40yo male also have those pants

Okay one order of fresh Bald heads coming right up. . .

*edit I think the diagonal needs more shadow at the back of his head but cannot place it correctly. ..  sorry

Great looking avatar Mike ^^
That bandana sailor is unique. Hope to see the front view though. As for the Bald sailor, I think the back view is perfect; the diagonal, maybe a pixel or two at the neck (just below the head). Anyway, great work ^^

That's simple and better Seu.
imo, use those BT.

QuoteGreat looking avatar Mike ^^

Thanks jimmy~

New set of arms,I want them perfect before moving on to the next pose

Let Criticism Begins

It looks like each arm is missing a pixel of color by the armpits. But otherwise, it looks pretty decent. His shoulders look much more natural. Great start.

I would recommend that you remove the two added pixels in the lower back they are not noticed in the in game size version but zoomed in and in game it could blend and become a blob. . . The shoulders definitely look better. . . how about fixing the diagonal back view too I think his right shoulder there needs a fix

Yeah,I know.Im already working with those arms,they are kinda difficult to make

well take your time we are always here to help and even trying to do the others (I'm still tackling the executioner gaffy).

One you get any of the 2 done you would have 2 very Unique sprites on hand. . .

Well,Im giving Mitch away for someone else make it for a while,my computer broke,he keeps restarting after Windows XP loads,but he starts up fine sometimes,if this happens I will keep working on it 'til I turn off my PC again

yeah,I managed to turn on my computer,here is an update,back diagonal added and back improved a little

Now,I need a portrait for him
sorry for the double post

that may be but dont you have a long way to go before a portrait will be of use...

I should be able to get you the portrait--the Wakka portrait I'm currently working on is shirtless, so a quick head-swap and skin modification can get this ready. Though I'll get it to ya once this sprite gets closer to completion.

everyone check the first post

I linked every unit to their best reference

Well, you may not need the portrait yet, but hopefully it'll get you [and others] in the mood to complete that sprite [and others].

Holy!. . . Great Job! that is the exact look and character I imagined for that sailor dude. . .

Looking good guys
Keep it up!

Looking great guys. Looking forward and very nice portrait there mav.

awesome portrait, although it's really dark under his chin, unless that is supposed to be a goatee

Yeah, there are a couple shading issues that I'll clean up later today; the chin's first on my list. There's also two pixels left on the portrait, so I guess I could show more of his chest or something...

Oh my st. ajoooora!
That portrait really fits well, mav.

Thanks for the compliments everyone--now you guys gotta follow suit!

Version 2.0:

Great mav.
Should it be lighten just a liiittle bit more? ^^

looks good but his shoulders are a little lopsided... give him some traps on HIS left shoulder and it'll make him seem even
shading in front of his chin is still a little too dark but otherwise it looks amazing. very impressed

That is a great portrait Mav. He could maybe use some forehead wrinkles and a little better shading on the shoulders, but those are minor things.

As far as his right shoulder goes, I just wanted to point out that having both shoulders aligned looked really fake (for whatever reason), but I'll change it back. And I'll check on the shading all around--add some more wrinkles, etc.

EDIT: Newest version attached; shoulders aligned better, more shading added to chest. Couldn't get wrinkles on the forehead to look right. I figure that's why virtually no portraits in FFT have 'em...

Oh yeah the neck is looking really really good now. The bottom right and left corners are looking just a bit flat, maybe just extending the shading but that might result in pillow shading.

wow Mav,this is...is..is awesome,it looks exactly like him and its also the nicest FFT bald dude ever.

I didnt work with the sprite this weekend and holydays(Monday and Tuesday),but I did progress with it,thanks to Seushiro,who showed me a new base for the sprite

dude that looks baller, the shoulders are so much better now. very nice improvement

Very nice mav ^^

Quote from: "Cheetah"Oh yeah the neck is looking really really good now. The bottom right and left corners are looking just a bit flat, maybe just extending the shading but that might result in pillow shading.

Yeah, I'm afraid of verging into the pillow territory, but I think it'll be possible to add a little bit more shading without ruining anything. We'll see.

Anyways, once this one is done, I'll take a look at which other sprites will need portraits and take care of those too (assuming no one else wants to).

here the new the revised version,with new legs and boots,boots now have 4 shades like the original design

Back View by Seushiro
Diag. Back View by Me

Looks good to me. Though what do I know?

Ok,I need an assembler to make Bald Dude/Mitch Spritesheet since I dont have time and the patience to do it, the 5 main poses is enough for most of its completion,but I will keep working on the irregular poses like death,damage and critical poses

Is there any tutorial on how to create these drawings/characters/sprites on the forum? I would like to learn to participate in future projects like this. (I still haven't found it, I landed here by parachute while looking for something else) and by the way, do any of you have Ruvelia's sprite? I can't find it anywhere. I would like to use it in a version of my FFT (It won't be available because it won't be a Dedicated MOD, just with some changes for me to play by myself)

There are a few little tutorials out there, but even if with all the knowledge- you will have to jump in the pool a little.

There is a tutorial here:  https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=6618.0

I made a simply head swap / frankein-sprite tutorial with graphics gale : https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=11236.msg213573#msg213573

While it might not be what you imagined, I did make a Ruvelia

I am happy to have the honor of using this sprite in a game that, despite not being very big, I will spend a lot of time playing. I am aware that you were involved in the creation of Ruvelia's sprite as I saw some posts on the forum, mainly about Souls of Destiny (which is already in my game library, and although I haven't played it yet, I saw your videos on youtube and I really liked the gameplay, I'm looking forward to playing it!). When I have some time from my work, I'll research the issue of creating sprites, and I'll try to create some work. And as for creating a dedicated mod like yours... well, it will take me a while to understand all those codes, but one day I will! Thanks again so much for letting me use your work!
