This is going to need a small bit of work because the stupid Aspect ratio is causing problems in game.   Not a problem that can't be fixed though :)  You can use the one I sent in game too, if you want to try it.

I will iron out all the bugs in this one...

Final

I consider this the final revision of mine. I used FF8 Eidos intro because as kranmer reminded me, it is better quality.  I have kept the FF7 eidos sound. 

This is h.264, if you can't play it, use VLC player.

It is ok, me and Kranmer have had a better idea :)  I will submit my final version soon.

As for Square Enix, you can't put that on FF7 as the merger had not happened then.

Ive modified the end, I will have my final version soon (without text unless I am told to add any.  No point working on this properly until people made up their minds which one they want.)

Thanks for the logo.

edit:  this is in xvid, do you have it in a lossless format, like huffyuv or lagarith?

the original logo has same thing at the end... pretty much nothing, but as I said this is designed purely for simpleness.  I was told not to add any fonts or any writing so I didn't.

A cleaner copy of eidos would be good though (assuming it doesnt come from FF7 game).  The speed of the logo works imho because it still matches the background music.  I don't want a bloated overly long FMV....

Well, that's my attempt anyway :P

here

My effort is designed to be simple.  It uses the original music and original frame count.  It is as simple as it gets because The simpler something is, the better it is.

I think this one has a punch.  Let's see what you think...

Obviously small modifications can be made if people are happy with this.  This is not the final quality or size and the logo is not yet centred.

Yes I am not sure yet but I feel pretty certain that they will need to be same length.  If this is so, I will just speed the eidos one up to enable us to fit on the next :)  Failing all else, we still have the Squaresoft logo to work with which is longer.

I have just finished the glow effect with this video but it looks very cheap to have this logo meet in the middle.  I am working on it...

It needs to be in a format which will work with Aali's driver and reasonably fast.  I think Xvid would be a good candidate, although I can prepare a few of them.

I am not the greatest with graphics, but I will have a good go!  Will have somethin for you later probably.

as far as an opening movies goes, i think it might be cool if you had the skull enter on the left, and the red circle from the right, and they meet in the middle with a kind of CLANG! and a flash of light.

If anyone wants the layered PSD file let me know, it could help with more advanced effects.

If you can supply me the base graphics you mentioned, I can make that work in vegas.

I can get it running in game....  I use vegas too, and I am sure I can get it all OK with the logo.  Just let me know what you want doing and I will get on it.

It may be possible to have the eidos logo and then your logo after it in the same FMV?

It was also done that way because the writers wanted it to be less like hollywood.  That they wanted maximum impact and they wanted it to reflect what can happen in real life...  you can just die, that's it.

In a May 2003 issue of Edge Magazine, Kitase had this to say about Aerith's death:

"People die of disease and accident. Death comes suddenly and there is no notion of good or bad. It leaves, not a dramatic feeling, but great emptiness. When you lose someone you loved very much, you feel this big empty space and think, 'If I had known this was coming, I would have done things differently.' These are the feelings I wanted to arouse in the players with Aerith's death relatively early in the game. Feelings of reality and not Hollywood."

Especially since nobody Kefka killed was as hot as Aeristh. Seriously.

I see you have found a compromise to the Aeris/Aerith issue haha  ;D  Sounds like a guy pissed up though....

One way to make a game harder and fun at same time is to introduce puzzles.  FFX had Cloister of trials (but that is just 1) and I loved that but Breath of Fire III imho beats any FF game hands down in terms of some of its gameplay.

FF games could add little things like puzzles without the need to be grinding and battling.

I like that design a lot I have to say, but the rounded logo version above :)

I am now unveiling MY attempt. I felt the need to contribute :)



Well, that's my lot :)

Seriously though some of these logo's are real cool! pyrozen's is my fave.

9393
Because it was well written story and we actually gave a shit.  because the direction, the story, the music all came together. 

That's why.  Cut out the baloney :)

Well it seems a bit silly to me to expect me to like MGS4 if it isn't trying to be the very thing that got me interested in the MGS series in the first place.  If I want halo I play Halo, if Halo decided to suddenly become a 2D platformer or a MGS2 based stealth game Halo fans wouldn't be very happy.

Different is fine when it isn't changing the gameplay from the genre it is based upon and that is just 1 criticism of many I have with these games.  Oh well :P  I just won't buy them anymore.

9395
I have to disagree Covarr, RE4 and 5 et al are just "shoot kill"  the originals, especially RE2 had decent puzzles and atmosphere.  That is what made me like it in first place..

MGS4 was just a shooter, and stealth was thrown out the window.  The story was a pitiful joke and gameplay dumbed down, same way gameplay was dumbed down in FF 13.

MGS1 and 2 had a good balance and although MGS2 had a crazy story it wasnt as bad as MGS4.  At least it had good gameplay and a proper utilisation of stealth and weapons.  MGS4 is just a graphic fest shooter.  If i want that I play shooters. 

There is a definite dumbing down of games imho from clever design into "graphics, guns and fanbase will see us through" and for the most part, that philosophy is working.  ALl of the examples above are better demonstrated by how bad the storytelling and writing has become.

9396
LOst Odyssey didn't have any issues.

What it boils down to is they know they can get away with crap games now.  FF has a huge fanbase and it will sell millions just because of its brand.  Same with that crap MGS4.

Graphics + brand = wey hey.

Resident evil
Command and Conquer
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid

4 of the ones I think have gone way down hill.  They all share 1 recent common fault: Graphics over substance and dumbed down gameplay.

I agree with you there...  I only respect Blair more than Obama because he took big decisions which he knew he would be flayed alive for.  Obama has tried to be all things to all men, and played the appeasement game.

But yeah I agree, Blair used the same tactics to gain power, he spoke about great changes, portrayed a vision of hope and optimism, was a good speaker but full of empty rhetoric and in the end, his ratings also fell like a lead balloon when people realised that Labour didn't have a clue.   Obama gained power on the back of hype and his good speeches, but it will be interesting to see what happens at the next election.

9398
I didn't imply that neville was the father of appeasement...  I simply stated a fact that he deployed the tactic and Hitler laughed in his face.  The point I made was that it is easy to get on with other countries by appeasing and apologising, but that won't get you any brownie points back home.  The main reason I think, is that the love-in fairy tale has wore off and his limo has turned into a pumpkin.

9399
Bush got 100x more stick than Obama.  THere is only 1 reason why Obama is being attacked and that is that the love-in and "he is a saviour" syndrome has wore off to reveal that he is just plain ordinary man who says a lot but is just another politician.,  People who voted for him because he is a good speaker deserve what they get ;)

I remember when he came to office and I was on BBC HYS, everyone there saying what a great leader he was when he hadn't even been in charge of a bathtub.   The prediction by a few of us was that he would go down like  a lead balloon the minute the rhetoric and fairy tale story got old.  Bush might have been hated and so was Blair at the end, but at least they were hated because they stuck to their guns and weren't afraid of making tough decisions.  It is easy to sit back and apologise for everything, and play the appeasement game.  One wonders whY the legacy of Neville Chamberlain is not better remembered.

ahh so that's what caused the difference...

Well all in all, it is a great mod and improvement over the last one.
