Final Fantasy Hacktics

Yes for me.

I am getting the feeling that everyone on here is 20+ years old. Probably because FFT is so old...it says on the FFT cd 2001, but I bet it was released first in Japan like 2-3 years before that...old...

Yeah, I'm a university student as well--I think I'll be trucking through this nonsense for a while.

By the way, how are the sprites going?

Yeah. Have you start the Female Cannoneer?

Honestly, I wish I could, but right now I only made plans in my head...my only free day now is Sundays, so I will begin work on her then

Alright. No worries.

My main concern/problem is the base. I want just one solid character as a base, because that is the most comfortable way for me to work. I am looking at all the female units, and Dancer is talking to me, plus Agrias and actually Reis...which one will become the future Cannoneer...?

Definitely Agrias.

The problem with Agrias is the armor. She has armor on her legs (knee pad things) and on her chest. Cannoneers (should) are lightweight warriors, in the sense that they would/should be similar to Mustadio, just clothes as armor and hats, no knight armor or helmets, and no robes...but I can bet people will do whatever they want anyways with FFTPatcher...also, I don't think Agrias' hair is appropriate, but yeah, as a base it is a good start. I am working a bit on it right now, hopefully I can post something(anything) soon

Simple solution: replace the legs with something more appropriate (anybody's boots should do), replace the arms with the female Mediator's, do something with the chest (that sounds raunchier than it is), and finally replace the hair and add the hat. Remember, you're a spriter now: you'll be doing lots of body modification, so don't think about whether the base works right away; that defeats the purpose.

GGGGGGGGGGood luck.

Yes, what mav said, Jon. Good luck.

Here is an idea of a female cannoneer. No hat, no trimming on coat (where the zipper/buttons would be) and I think the legs aren't working right for this:



Tell me what you think and whip some ideas at me. Personally, I like the purple colors of jacket, so that might stay.

I can barely see what's going on in that sprite, and that chest looks quite flat.

Wait, I thought you follow Lenna? Anyway, yes, chest is flat. The purple is okay but I'm not sure if purple is the right colour. Blue is okay but I have a feeling its not right. Hmm.... And yes, legs aren't working. Perhaps is the boot?

Have the shirt cover her midriff, give her pants and boots, and drop the dark blues and fit in some better colors (perhaps for the boots or just to add more depth via shadows).

I beg you to redo.


I took an old sprite I had laying around and edited it to look like the cannoneer concept I had in mind.



This could help. When making stuff up, it's best ot have the concept art at the ready. (Unlike FFT)

Wow...Amazing!! As usual ^^
But yes, this is perfect as reference.

No problem, I will start all over because I only made that one pose anyways. Smash, I will use your reference if you don't mind, including the colors. I can attempt to make Agrias' hair longer, but for the hat, I think I will leave that part blank for now. The red is really working for me, as are those blue/dark teal colors. The legs are hard for me, next time I post a version, could someone maybe help me get the legs right? Thanks for all your comments

Very nice, Smash, that's a great rendition of what we need. It looks tough, but doable: I would take Meliadoul, remove the hood, replace the leg's with the female Thief's, replace the arms with the female Mediator's, add the female Mediator's ponytail, and modify the back of the coat to resemble the male Cannoneer's.

Here is attempt # 2, hope it is better:
