FFT: Newtype (Playable Demo in One Week, Armor Posted)

Whoops, it's actually Dragoon 3. My apologies, Skip, I'll change that now.

Wow, this is gonna take a lot of getting used to :O
Sweegy took a massive amount of tries =_=

Eternal

@Doku- Not if you don't want to, really. Like I said, it only changes a few things. Update as you see fit. The biggest change is to the Oracle, since Cataclysm has been changed, and you can't just plop Feather Boots onto the party and be cheap. =P

@Zenius- Sweegy can be annoying with the Bombs, but Aero and Blizzard magic pretty much takes care of them. Honestly, the hardest battle in the chapter is probably Wiegraf or Zeklaus. =P

speaking of Wiegraf, that reminds me I forgot to mention that I found the changes to the chapter finale battle make it epic and awesome. INCREDIBLY SO.

Heh, thanks! I absolutely loved making that battle.

So...you thought of changes we talked about yesterday? And while changes are the subject, what about Boco?
  • Modding version: Other/Unknown

Eternal

Sorry, Kage, but Zack probably won't be replacing Cloud anytime soon. Like I said, if anyone replaces Cloud, it'll be Balthier.

Regarding Boco, I heard from Raven last night that Boco has its own spriteset, meaning that I can potentially make a white-paletted Chocobo, give it the Trickster class, and give it to Wiggy. Raven also told me how to make enemy units mount chocobos, so that's something I'll consider as well.

Did Raven tell you in chat, pm, or in a post?  If it was a post, would you mind providing us with a link so we can do it as well?

Ah, sorry, it was in IRC. I'd have to check Shishi to confirm that Boco has his own spriteset, though.

QuoteAs for his stuff, let me see what I can find...

You need to quote his post to view the spoiler, since I'm guessing it got broken in the transfer all those months ago.
Just another rebel plotting rebellion.

Thanks, Phil! That should help immensely.

Just beat Miluda 2, I'm having one hell of a time with this xD
Saving money is actually a challenge with this ^^

Bug report: AI units set with a One-Handed weapon on the Left Hand will sometimes come in with weapons in both hands
Left-Handed Wizard @ Dorter 1 came in with Blind Knife and Rod
Left-Handed Priest @ Thieves' Fort came in with 2 White Staves

Eternal

Glad to hear you're still enjoying it!

Yeah, I'm aware of that bug. As long as they don't have Two Swords, they won't be able to attack twice, though. It's more a minor nuisance than anything else. I think you'll like Zeakden. ^_^

@Zenius
money isn't nearly as much as an issue once you hit chapter 2 and bar propositions become available, some of them can net you 30k gil or more upon completion

OK, so, since there probably won't be a release for a while since I'm on the event editing part... I may as well post a to-do list of what will hopefully be in the next release.

-All new script, or at least for Chapter 1 (with any luck the author of the translation I'm using will respond shortly to my e-mail).
-Balthier replacing Cloud.
-Replacing Cloud's skillset with Balthier's Quickenings from XII, as well as his moves from Revenant Wings.
-Rebuffed Lucavi HP.
-Fully debugged Bard/Dancer.
-A few new ENTD's.
-More glitch fixes, including the dual-wield, but not really dual-wielding glitch.

It's going to take some time, but I would like you all to be patient, and look forward to the next release! Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what are you changing the script towards? More references to FFXII?

If so, then you might want to take a look at the In-series Crossovers part of FFCompendium, especially since that says that FFXII comes after FFT most likely, though I know that you claim to see the opposite and it is somewhat open to interpretation (just like the end of FFT itself...currently).

I'm using the literal translation found here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/197339/48627,
as well as supplementing the script and appending a bit of my own script. I'm also writing the Cloud dialogue from scratch (when I get to it, which will be a very long time. I'm not even half done with Chapter 1) to add Balthier. Balthier should be a fun character to write, though.

I'll be sure to check out that link, for certain. But the only real XII reference in the script will be the use of "hume" instead of "human", which the literal translation also does.

I see. I'll be sure to bookmark that link too.

Last curiosity for now is if you're doing such a huge script overhaul, how are you going to be able to make sure that you do go over whatever limit FFTacText has in place? (I haven't messed with it that much outside of items, so there's probably something I don't know.)

TacText and event editing are two totally different things from what I've seen, so the limit shouldn't be an issue.
