Parody Dialogue-Please play and test it!

[Jon]

I uhh, made this dialogue replacement in my spare time...and I would really like everyone to test it out and tell me their opinion on it. I would like to know whether I should continue this little project or not, so comments are very welcome. (Please note: this is only from Orbonne opening scene to the end of Chapter one so far, will continue making dialogue if I get enough positive replies) (Also, strong language, but I don't think anyone on here has a problem with that)

Instructions:
Open up your CDMage and open up your .img/.iso file of FFT. Click once on the Track 1 thing and open up the EVENT folder. Scroll down and find TEST.EVT, right click and import my TEST.EVT. Start a new game and hopefully enjoy

Here are some screen shots!

what IS it?  Did you just whip out the thesaurus and change "Tough, Blame yourself or God" to "Too bad, it's either your fault or that of your maker?"

[Jon]

No! It is not a thesaurus translation, that is too easy. It is a whole different game from a new perspective. I didn't just replace the dialogue- I aim to change the whole story. Did you even try it out or what?

[Asmo X]

I dont get it. Did you change try to change the story without editing any events?

[Jon]

Yeah. It is just a new dialogue. That means what the people say. Nothing else. I just did this because I was really bored...

[RavenOfRazgriz]

Screencaps that give some kind of representation as to HOW you changed the dialogue would be nice so we have some hook that makes us want to play out this "new" story and a preview to see whether your writing is worth the time it takes to do another entire playthrough of FFT.

I'm pretty sure that including preview material of the hack in some way (captures / video) is part of the rules for this section, anyway.

RTFS.

This sounds like the stupidest thing ever

Someone post a .txt of the text changes. I want to read this masterpiece

[Dominic NY18]

It should go without saying that when posting a new project thread, you should actually state the main goal of the project/patch/mod, any general changes made and a few specific changes you've made to achieve that.  People will be more interested in your project if they actually know what has changed and what you're trying to do before they just jump right in. It also helps others give you more precise feedback on your project and that can help you fix any inconsistencies/errors/bugs that may arise.

TL;DR- Post a damn changelog

Saying you made changes to the script and that there's strong language isn't enough.

[Jon]

@Dominic NY18- My bad, this is really only text changes, and I don't want to post anything else because then it ruins the story...but I will if I have to.

@RavenOfRazgriz- I believe you are right, but same thing I said above to Dominic. And are you 100% sure about the captures/videos?

@Asmo X- Well, it is generally good to get any sort of feedback, but please don't just charge in mindlessly before you even test it and try it out for yourself. I really wonder what kind of interesting comments I will get from you in the future...

[RavenOfRazgriz]

@RavenOfRazgriz- I believe you are right, but same thing I said above to Dominic. And are you 100% sure about the captures/videos?

If it's text, don't post entire conversations.

Use screen captures to post good one-liner hooks that impress enough as stand-alone items to make people want to see how the story itself got changed.

Kind of like a movie advertisement.  A small piece of plot to get people interested, and some one-liners / otherwise cool shit to prove that getting interested was worth it.  Nothing too big.

[Jon]

@Raven- Thanks, I will put some stuff up, with the F8 thing from esPSXe. But not now, way too late for me haha.

[Asmo X]

I'm not applying the patch. Just post the text file and I'll read it that way. Since you didn't actually change any events it isn't necessary for me to watch it in action. I can put two and two together.

[Jon]

Didn't have time to put the screen shots online, but here is a little advertisement for y'all. Enjoy!

@Asmo- I can send it to your email, a .txt, but please then don't post it online because it will give away the story. Should I do that?

[Asmo X]

No, it's only the first chapter. Stop worrying about spoilers. If you post it here people can read it and critique it. Although I can tell right now, whatever you have written is probably not going to work. You can't just edit a whole new story over unchanged events without it looking really contrived and stupid.

[Jon]

Yeah okay. Your advice sounds sound. Fine, it is just a (supposed to be) funny version of FFT. Like I said, I had way too much time on the day I made it, so please no one take it too serious. I will definetly consider now to change actual events around/characters, ect. Nevertheless, try it out if you have some spare time and I will try to improve it in any way, even though this is more or less a fun project. I think I will instead focus now on 2 main objectives for myself (one which won't work, but who cares): a Mandalia Plains Map with a floating airship(this is the one that wont work) and a new patch/story/events like Asmo suggested. Something serious.

[Atsuro]

ROFL DEFINITELY! I am always willing to kill people i don't know!

As a parody of the game you have my endorsement. I second changing the game  events. This would make a pretty good parody though. lol

[Jon]

Shhhh...don't tell people that it is a parody haha, well now the cat is out of the bag! Thank you for the kind words btw, Atsuro

[Dome]

Come on, post some screenshot!

[Jon]

Screenshots? I sorta did that 5 posts up there, but yeah gimme a minute...check out the Advertisement.rar in the meantime...photobucket is so slow for me...
