Well I haven't much to do today so I've been planning on it.  Just keep the messages coming they make me feel guilty enough to work on it lol

No I'm just kidding I want to get this done.

Check this out, it's called Lunar Expand.  This guy TimeSpace sent me a link to it two years ago but I never looked into it.

http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/le/index.html

Could this help with the battle menu?
That's all I need help with and I'll take care of the rest.  I just need a bit more space and worst case scenario we can't do anything about it then we'll just make the magic FF7 style and improvise with the espers, etc.

But overall don't worry, this will come out.  It was supposed to come out two years ago I know, and I know this may sound like a lie but my computer did crash, luckily I got a copy sent to me so I mean it should be done in no time.

Final Fantasy VI has so much potential, everything I'm doing here will make it really impressive.  Up there with VII.

can we put higher rez sprites in? think the highrez texture packs for ocarina of time etc.
 
I doubt this would be possible given the size requirements of the sprites. I do not think it is something that can be changed. I could be wrong however.

Well, you could do it if you really wanted to.  But you would have to make an entire port of it for windows.  Then we could have it in widescreen HD...whatever

If you're up to doing that go for it.  I really doubt that would happen given the amount of work that you'd have to do.  

This guy made A Link to the Past for windows basically, but what he made it into a free online game that was actually cool.  It was like a small online community of about 200 people and everyone knew everybody.  Sparring was what made it fun.  I was into it when I was a kid.  56k modems and sh*t lol.

Then he started to charge money for it, got sued, but it's still around because it was different enough I guess.  But it's not the same old game anymore, it looks completely different.  But that link will give you a taste of what it's like.


But back on topic I'm getting some more work done, so don't worry.  It will be out soon and it won't take forever.

How's this coming?
Changeling are you going to finish first what you intended in the beginning or will you stall it and work on the menus/HD thingy?

One thing at a time, man, one thing at a time :P
 
oh, sorry, didn't see this 'til now. I'm usually only on msn when I play xbox. I think it's better if you pm me. Then I'll see it in my mail. I'm not that active on msn anymore  :P

*shameless bump*

Anyone knows the whereabouts of Changeling? Is he going to finish this?
I was hoping i could get my hands on the *perfect* version of FFVI..
 
Just came across this site: http://ffvi2.webs.com/
This guy is attempting to do a remake of FFVI from scratch (no rom hack) with some decent results.

Don't know the details of it but screens show some nice results:

- Picture 1
- Picture 2
- Picture 3

- Video

Can't say i like the way he has redone the windows but still, looks promising.
Would be nice to have this and Changeling project (from this topic) both done together.
 
Wow, that's pretty nice except for the "new storyline".   And I think it's safe to say Changeling's project won't be completed until 2013.. maybe.
 
From what i read the guy is doing a remake AND a prequel.
Read around his site and the game is around 800mb now due to the quality of maps, etc.

He seems to work pretty fast, which is a plus.
Also, i've pm'ed changeling on his facebook to see if he plans to end his project, let's see if he replies..
 
I'd like to see new sound effects in this HD remake, and maybe widescreen. Maybe a new font. It seems kind of odd that he'd remake parts of it, but leave other parts sorely lacking.
 
He said his remake is almost done and that can then be used as a template for other mods/projects such as the one in this topic.
 
I'll definitely play it if its done(since I've never played it before). When I download his remake can it already be played in the pc or can an emulator do it or do I have to port it to my ps2?
Don't mind the question I already know. :)

An update on this, i guess:
 
This looks really great, I'll play this for sure ! I'm working on my FFVII mod (FFVII AV) right now, but I attempted my own FFVI hack a while ago, that I called FFVI AV. YouTube video here. Development didn't go as well as planned... ...making the guy in the colosseum controllable and other weird things made Kefka (who replaced Gau) unable to return from the Veldt (and never mind about the weird dialogs in these vids, Strago was supposed to be Edgar when I edited the text... ...and wow at the nice engrish. Even though it's not my natural language, I've made progress since then) ...

Anyway, I learned much at the time (things that will mainly benefit FFVII AV), and I can say that what you've been showing us is amazing. It takes a lot of time / work to edit events, monsters and mechanics in this game. And your graphical enhancements made my jaw drop. Very, very nice work !! :D

EDIT : Gah, I just read that it's not a rom hack, and that it's not yours.

Hahaha you may be right. 

This high definition touch up looks pretty but I'd say my...whatever may actually be finished.  See, I was almost done with this thing years ago and my computer crashed, I know that sounds like an excuse but no sh*t it really did.  I always seem to bounce back to the older Final Fantasy games and I keep thinking man I wish I didn't lose that retranslation.  Because the Woolsley one is awful and the GBA looks and sounds terrible...so I can never decide which one to go with.  If I'm going to take another shot at this it would be cool to collaborate with actually anyone to help speed up the process, because basically it's just throwing the new translation over the old without the censorship.  Especially anyone here with romhacking experience.  Like Skyrender, he translated the Japanese version of the game and there were no space limitations or any bullsh*t like that.  I don't want to have to compensate with something like "Antdot" it just looks stupid.  Normally I would not take on something like this but I'm surprised no one else has already done this. 

Anyway, anyone who would like to join me on this project, some of you seem still interested after all this time, then join me and we'll finish it.

Also, there may be a 3DS remake of VI and well, I don't think it will be better than the original.  I know a lot of you here may not agree with me on that because you are tearing apart the PC version of VII to try and remake it yourselves but this is totally worth it, hang on to it forever you know.  That's another reason I'm surprised this hasn't been done because it won't take that long.  Some of you take a break from that for a few days and we could get this done, fast.

Really hoping to see this completed  ;D

I can try to help you but i don't have experience at all on modding.
I'm only a lurker in these forums after all.
 
Aww, you got my hopes up when I saw a new post in this thread.

If I had any romhacking skills beyond replacing sprites in Super Mario Bros and using premade Pokémon tools to put a lv90 Mewtwo in Viridian Forest. Alas, I cannot help with a project of any legitimate usefulness. :(
