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.

[serverus]

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)

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!

[KazeKasano]

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.

[serverus]

oh thats ok!

I was also wondering why SE didn't include Vagrant Story in the Ivalice Alliance compilation

[KazeKasano]

I'm not sure. I know it wasn't quite as popular as the other games, mostly because it lacked the Final Fantasy moniker.

[Oblivion]

wyvern! attax!

*uses omega on wyverns*
mwahahaha!
be marveled before my awesome power!

[Archael]

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

it's probably better they don't include it

[DarthPaul]

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!!!!

[LastingDawn]

Keep in mind though, it's just not remade yet. Once it's remade it would officially join the Ivalice Alliance.

[DarthPaul]

Again LD proves a point.

I cannot wait for VS to get a remake. Makes me want to play the original again.

[Archael]

Wait, Square said that once it's remade it'll be part of IA?

Or something?

[Oblivion]

i didnt even know they were remaking it.

[KazeKasano]

Not officially. However, it's a decent assumption, considering the connections.

[LastingDawn]

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)



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

i gotta learn to use photohop!!!

[LastingDawn]

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.

[Cheetah]

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