Hello severus, drop by the Chat to get more awnsers, look around the forum a bit, and don't troll.

Otherwise, welcome in the big war-filled family that is FFH.

Wacth out for Asmo and Voldemort.

Haha. Wait, I thought Voldemort was the Wybern? Or is he the Wyvern? I always get those two confused since Wybern was a pathetic mistranslation of Wyvern.

Welcome to FFH!

Perhaps Serverus will open the big ore, and we will all get a good feeling!

"Serverus joins the party" eh?

What equipment do you have, so that I can steal it and then boot you from the party?

err... I mean welcome!

Well nice to meet you Serverus, and goodbye as well.

*Serverus leaves the party via explosion*

In all honesty though welcome aboard.

Hello, I would suggest simply not listening to Voldemort, everything he says is usually worthless in meaning. Hope you have fun here, and I hope to see this 'tweak'.

lol thanks guys!

@ehrgeiz20

thanks man! FinalFantasyTactics is my favorite (Xenogears comes 2nd)

If we could turn FFT into a whole different Tactics game, I think its a good idea to replace the character/job introduction with a new one (with all our custom character designs) but is that possible?

@Seraphim Enchantress

well this tweak is just an idea for now, my first tweak with the patcher failed and that was just a few days ago hehe, need to learn more from Zodiac, Voldemort and the others

@Voldemort

is that from FFT? the style looks very similar with FFT artwork!

btw guys whats the server and channel for FFH on IRC? :D

To answer your question to Arch, the artwork is from Vagrant Story, which is another SE game with artwork by Akihiko Yoshida. It is loosely related to the other games in the Ivalice Alliance, and most likely takes place on the Valendia continent, home to the Archadian Empire in Final Fantasy XII.

It's more of an action rpg. Very enjoyable.
Title:
Post by: serverus on April 22, 2009, 02:39:03 am
Thanks! as soon as I read that the artwork was by Aki, I searched for more images then I realized I can just check the source of Voldemort's pic, turned out its from Breath of Fire, but it can still fit in with FFT (BoF4's environment looks real close to FFT's and Xenogears)

Yeah Vagrant Story's a good game! battle system and weapon assembly is similar to Parasite Eve's but what's best is almost everything in it is related to FFT (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's designs kick ass - also Sydney's bracers/gauntlets) :D

The AJ Durai quote was a good giveaway too

I think VS's story happened like hundreds or thousands of years after FFT, I would love to see a sequel!
Title:
Post by: KazeKasano on April 22, 2009, 02:44:54 am
OH THE WYVERN
I totally thought you meant his avatar.
I am unobservant as hell tonight.

Not sure on VS's placement.
I know XII is the earliest game in the series right now, with Tactics 1400 years later, and FFTA and A2's framing stories (in St. Ivalice town) probably occuring long after VS. So VS is something like an interquel between T and TA.
Title:
Post by: serverus on April 22, 2009, 02:59:29 am
oh thats ok!

I was also wondering why SE didn't include Vagrant Story in the Ivalice Alliance compilation
Title:
Post by: KazeKasano on April 22, 2009, 03:53:17 am
I'm not sure. I know it wasn't quite as popular as the other games, mostly because it lacked the Final Fantasy moniker.

VS is a better game than half the shit that's in Ivallice Alliance

it's probably better they don't include it
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on April 22, 2009, 11:28:12 am
I'm not so sure Arch, I think VS would be an addition that adds a lot to the Ivalice Alliance.

At least enough to balance out the faux pas that is FFTA's 1&2.

i got a question for serverus:

how did you make your avatar and signature?
they're really awesoome!!!!
Title:
Post by: LastingDawn on April 22, 2009, 04:13:29 pm
Keep in mind though, it's just not remade yet. Once it's remade it would officially join the Ivalice Alliance.
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on April 22, 2009, 04:39:48 pm
Again LD proves a point.

I cannot wait for VS to get a remake. Makes me want to play the original again.
Title:
Post by: Archael on April 22, 2009, 04:42:12 pm
Wait, Square said that once it's remade it'll be part of IA?

Or something?
Title:
Post by: Oblivion on April 22, 2009, 04:43:48 pm
i didnt even know they were remaking it.
Title:
Post by: KazeKasano on April 22, 2009, 04:44:26 pm
Not officially. However, it's a decent assumption, considering the connections.
Title:
Post by: LastingDawn on April 22, 2009, 08:36:35 pm
Well, they were asked by someone after they released WoTL, if they would release Vagrant Story (which is much more wildly popular then I had thought it was) that by proxy it is next on their re-release list.

Thanks a lot, the sig consists of 2 IA symbols, 2 Hashmal symbols and the IA logo

I made these using photoshop CS2, the 1st character's armor is based on Ramza and Delita's armors, he's a 'regulator' similar to a judgemagister and is with the Order of Hashmal (just made it up lol)

the 2nd character is a dragoon but with much armor so that it won't look like it's a mercenary dragoon. they're with the Order of Hashmal as well (lol)

(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r267/serverus/FFTChars.jpg)

more characters to come! (but first I need to learn how to make and swap sprites)

@LastingDawn

That's good news! also I have lots of questions I'm hoping you could answer, thanks

Wow, you're a very fine artist! Also any questions you might have feel free to PM me. Though the cult of Hashmalum is an interesting concept, in one fanfic I read a younger Dycedarg was talking with Zalbag about "names that persevere through the ages" of course the names he was referring to was the Lucavi, but it was a fascinating read! Though as I said, don't hesitate to PM me for any questions.

They are very nice drawings. They should also be very easy to turn into sprites. I look forward to seeing them.

Post by: KazeKasano on April 23, 2009, 01:17:07 am
As everyone else has said, impressive artwork!
It'll be nice to have a good artist on the forum outside of the normal spriting field.
