Cool, some more people are interested.
I'm really sorry everyone, I didn't work on it these past two days. I've been so busy.
Tonight I could've worked on it but my on again off again girlfriend is here.
It's 4AM and she's asleep, that's why I'm able to leave this message...I don't want her to know I'm doing this
But I promise, a beta version will be released before Friday.
Trust me, the wait will be worth it. Square would have to make a pretty bad ass remake of this game to top my version.
In the meantime, I'd like for you to do some things for me.
*Leave me a message on AIM if you know how to edit the battle text. (Most likely I'll be able to figure it out on my own, but I'd rather work on other aspects first.)
*If any of you have extensively tried the variety of hard-type patches, make some suggestions as to which one is the best. I'm looking for hard, but not impossible, and very intricate. (No 2x stats)
If you don't come up with anything, most likely it will be "FF6 Eviltype"
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/snes/patches/294readme.txt Keep in mind, the patch will be optional, so you newbies can play the original difficulty, which is really easy.
Here are some key notes on Eviltype.
"Final Fantasy 3 Eviltype is a patch of Final Fantasy 3 designed to completely rebalance
the overall game, in such a way that it is as hard as reasonably possible without making
it impossible for a theoretical newcomer to the game to still complete without unbelievable
amounts of effort."
This guy worked on every single enemy in the game, and every playable character.
"Q: How long did this take you to make?
A: Silly, that's not a question anyone but me cares about.
But I believe I started mid-January 2005, and altered the master file a few weeks ago.
Call it 19 months.
Actual work hours, though? Couple hundred? I honestly have no idea."
Wow, what dedication lol
"Eviltype endeavors to keep the style of the original monster intact, on
some level. Don't expect a Evil Oscar to suddenly start using Love Token,
or Tritoch to use Tentacles on you. Exceptions are made for exceedingly
generic and pointless randoms, on occasion, but by and large, this holds true."
