Final Fantasy Hacktics

ok for now the front page is just a reminder to myself of what im working on to complete...

Sholder Spike Ramza (status: 30%)
DRK/Paladin (status: 5%)
Balbanes (status: 10%)

(and the name of my usual main oc)
Sho (status:one sprite)

It may be awile before I complete anything...after all Ive gotta look for a job still,chores,live life...and get past my lazyness >_>;;;

Hey, that's pretty good. The armor is a little too dark for my tastes, but overall this looks quite nice--reminiscent of Vanya's Defender-Ramza.

That is definitely a pretty sweet shoulder spike. I'm afraid it might be near impossible to have it for any of the actual arm animations though. Are you even going to try?

Not impossible, but he'd have to do it for every right arm on there.. About 40 or so aproximately. Tedious work, I'd say.


I also like this design, to the point that I might even use it for Ramza in the later chapters.

yea its tedious...but i plan to still do it...may not be done for abit though...I also have afew class Ideas which Ive been thinking of spriting

Sounds great cold52 I look forward to what you do with the arms here and other sprites. What other spriting have you done?

well Ive been doing alot of PW sprites (phoenix wright) but Ive also done Disgaea sprites but I found this place and decided id do some FFT sprites...because ive always enjoyed the game very much...

ow I guess Ill say the class Ideas i was thinking of spriting also in case anyone was curious...

BowMonkey (an Idea inspired from a friend)
its a class thats able to use 2 bows...but sacrifices use of arm equipment and accessory (if only that was leg equipment...but ehh)
anyways the idea is that both arm and legs would be free to alow both arrows to strike...in turn it takes longer to attack+ the character cannot move durring that time (sorry theres no specifics...but its a work in progress)

and...

DrunkenMaster (still thinking of a simplier name)
the Idea here Is an averagecharacter...with a special weapon...a bottle...when he drinks his attack will be higher...but this class has a catch...when he drinks theres always the everlurking possibility of self-inflicted status effects such include poison,confusion,sleep,ect...the stronger the drink the more likely the status

Dude!!! you totally gotta finish this i wanna use it! lol

very nice shoulder spike...

ok so Im still working on it...its very hard to tell the left arm from right...buuuut...anyways I guess some armor ideas will just have to hold you over (I was messing around with the original and it kinda just ended up like this >.>;;;

A lot of those are a little too busy.  Good, but I don't see something that busy managing to look great in-game.  I like the contrast of the top-middle, but the shoulder plates seem to be lacking the trim the lower lighter part of the armor has.

If you're going to make spiky, busy armor... how about making Shredder?

Beautiful concepts, but the colors are wacky. The white ones (the two on the far left on both rows) just don't look right--he looks like a Paladin who ran through a sandstorm. The four that have absolutely no white are my personal favorites, though I'd suggest a different color instead of dark gray. The middle two and the two beside them to the right look good for barbarians, but that may be due to the color choice and bulkiness of the armor.

Overall I really like the armor designs, I just wanna see some different color combos. Also, I'm not sure if this style fits Ramza, but a simple head swap could remedy that.

I agree...the color was just due to me being lazy so I just used what i had on the original sprite...and I do agree that they are busy...but this is just concepts afterall...I hate limiting creativity...but real versions I know I actually would have to tweak it a bit also on the part about the head swaps...I coudnt agree with you more...again...just was lazy is all...

Don't forget to use ShiShi's preview mode to help figure out what each arm is doing on the sprite sheet. Should help alot.

Those armor designs are really good. The criticisms on the white color are spot on, but I think it works really well as a silver in small amounts. The second to last design with the silver pads and black spikes is especially good. Put a good dark knight helm on it and it would be way better then the current one. Or more silver and white and you have a heavy armored paladin. I like it lots.

so then how about this one

Ooh, I like it. This has great potential--keep working on it; the color choice is much more preferential.

I'd have to see an angle/side view to be sure I like the helm, but it looks great.

far right = good

i would love to see that far right one done all the way as well

Do I spy a possibility for a third outfit Ramza? Great work! As everyone has been saying, the one on the far right is a Great candidate! Would you like to put your skills to use for Mercenaries, mayhaps?
