The Lion War - Recruits

[Daisy]

awesome totally looking forward to it dude

[sutebenukun]

I will be working on recruits again, as I cannot work on Jot5 in it's current state without reconciliation. This project wasn't something difficult, was mostly easy and outside of the mercenary stuff, which was already in progress when I stopped, a good bulk of the work was already done.

I will likely be hosting it elsewhere, but I'll make sure it gets linked back here by someone in the future when I have more to show.

This is amazing news! I'm so excited!

Any news on this? ^^ i feel like your mod would break the fft world in replayability <3

Still working on it.

Still waiting for this bro.

As of a month or so ago, he confirmed he is still working on it, just gotta be patient, there are plenty of people excited and waiting to play 3lric's vision, myself included!

I was just wondering if you had seen the mod 'Souls of Destiny' because it made me think of your project of recruiting party members who are attunded to the Lucavi that maybe it would be a possible ability that they could transform into their zodiac brave form? Such as Weigraf into Velius

that's not possible in recruits for several different reasons

I'm really looking forward for this to enter a playable state. I've only recently gotten into emulation, but I own every US-based iteration of this game (and many others), so carry a firm nostalgia for the series. Every time I fire up your Lion War mod, I include a GameShark hack that allows random guest characters, bosses, and other enemy NPCs to become recruitable. Does it make sense that I have Algus with me in when Delita and Ramza face off against the church? Narratively? No, no it does not, but it is pretty hilarious visually.

I appreciate that you're drafting dialog and event scenes to play out that bridge the nonsensical gap that recruiting most of these characters would cause.

Semi-related, you mentioned a few years back you intend for this to be baked into TLW and TLWTL future updates--is that still the plan? And do you intend to expand the weapon selection with anything new to elevate all this custom work?

well, this is built on top of TLW 2.X, so it will have all its features, but recruits itself is a standalone mod, unlike TLW, which is a base mod for other mods to be built on top of, and thank you for the enthusiasm. I am still working on this, albiet quite slowly, but I don't have much to show since its just been setting up the rest of the joining units and testing shit and cursing at myself for forgetting how so many things work in my time away.

Hey, glad to hear you're still at it, at least! I know how passion projects can, well, lose their passion over the years. It's hard to motivate yourself when the only thing you really gain is the satisfaction of having done it (and what praise comes from the community). Still, you and the others on this board have done some quality work from what I've seen so far--and I've seen a lot of other romhacks where the dialog is terribly written, or disjointed, or it's a buggy mess the creator still shoveled out. I'll keep checking back occasionally. I know I'm not the only one that would enjoy a run through with what this mod promises. Take care!
