Final Fantasy Tactics: Mercenaries (Main Info Thread)

[TRC]

oh well, whatever you do is fine by me!

[TRC]

=(

[gasm]

TRC's hopes were dashed  

I'd rather have a solid demo over a rushed one, so I am glad it's taking a bit longer.

[TRC]

yeah I dont mind that much but yeah =(

[LastingDawn]

I do apologize, it turned out to be a lot more work then I had thought... but I can send you the "demo" as it currently is TRC, if you'd like.

[TRC]

@_@

Its all cool, I'll patiently wait until Mercernaries is ready, the whole game. It will be more surprising and interesting that way!

[Dominic NY18]

I need more to do. MOAR.

Seriously, I'd love to have a look at anything I can help with.

[LastingDawn]

Oh certainly, I'll send you the patch for critiquing, of the script (which is in place) at the moment, your English is quite proficient, so having another set of eyes wouldn't hurt. Also I think I might take you on as a story crafter, since I want to make sure the story makes sense, and before I get too far along, have things as proper come on IRC and I'll explain the basis.

[Dominic NY18]

Send me a PM when you get the chance.

[Shade]

Are you gonna make PSP version of this patch.

[LastingDawn]

That's a bit more difficult... we don't know how to disable cutscenes, therefore that would be extremely strange to see, for some of the scenes. Especially with Delita being... no where near friendly to Ramza.

[psp master]

If you have a psp demo (or beta or sth like that), please send it to me!

LD, are you still going to use the Four Gods Set as a shield? If so, I suggest shamelessly ripping off of FFTA2 and renaming it the Shield of the Four.

Would it be possible to remove the cutscenes from the ISO to edit the scenes underneath?  Also if he doesn't just play the psx version on your psp, simple fix.

[Dominic NY18]

Unfortunately, ripping the cutscenes from the ISO won't work. The game does run fine without them. The problem is that when you try to view one of the scenes that's animated, the original non-animated scene doesn't show up at all. Instead, it just shows a black screen and after a few seconds, goes to the next event if you're viewing the scene for the first time or goes back to the Chronicles entry you were viewing.

[DarthPaul]

Hmmm with that couldn't you just edit those scenes out for mercenaries or does LD plan on using them?

[LastingDawn]

Well those scenes will be replaced, that's the problem, I need to cut out the "activate cutscene here", acti...vator? Those scenes are quite important, especially the aftermath of Zeakden and Zirekile Falls.

Also yes, Four Gods Set will be a shield, not sure what it's going to do yet...

Elemental Warder? Just from its name it has Four Gods on it, why not make it resist elements.

[LastingDawn]

Hm... that works. So no physical or Magical Evasion either?

[boomkick]

Just slighty, like around 10% each.
