The nuclear weapon has ironically been the greatest thing for peace. It has stopped many major war through the sheer fear of M.A.D. Unfortunately, there is another type of mad... Islam. And some of these crazy bastards don't fear destruction. Iran is one. Thanks to Obama, they are closer now than ever. But Israel won't sit around waiting. Believe it.I think Iran could go either way right now, China just refused it entry to the SCO despite Russia's backing - probably because it could cause some tensions with the US. Might be only temporary though. Personally I don't think Iran would use nukes unless seriously provoked. They also helped fight ISIS. But who knows, they could be gearing up for something - Middle East is messed up.
(Just kidding, I know its part of ranking system)
Even in the 1000000000-1 chance they even tried, there would be mass riots. I'd be one of the participants.Haha. I've liked reading DLPB's political posts when I come here, strange to see it on an FF forum - but whatever
That's a pretty major flaw indeed, but a lot of people probably didn't even notice it so I don't think it will get patched. In the PC version it does NOT reset.Yeah, it's not the only music flaw either, some parts the timing is quite off or the music continues playing during FMV (I think that happened on the first midgar reactor explosion at the start).
I wish the general criticism found here was common elsewhere. But, like usual, it seems 10-1 in favour of fanboyism and hype. I don't think most of the fanbase, or what's left of it, even realizes what made the original game so good. Maybe for a lot of people having a "cool" character and a "hot babe" was enough to get them puking out 10/10. But that's not why I liked it.While I don't like dislike modern games, there's nothing interesting or cool about this trailer.. it's just marketing for the fanboys. I know now to leave this game alone as it will only disappoint me. If they had something new and novel that would honestly upgrade the original, ala Resident Evil-style, they would of shown something of it by now.. It's obvious they have no clue what they're doing, unfortunately.
I'd like to give it a shot, around now seems a good time, some of the vids on your youtube channel look really cool/creative! Hopefully can also give some feedback 
That is amazing, good job.It was recorded from ePSXe on a PC, if that's what you mean. I always record PSX gameplay at 720p minimum, its nice to have that little red HD icon in Youtube.
Is that PSX or PC ?
Are there any games that fit with the art style and gameplay style of old school PS1 FF games, but with updated graphics (or at least cell-shaded)?Don't think so.. It's just how the modern world works, I think. If you look at sites like NMA for Fallout, people are still complaining about Fallout 4 not being an isometric game. It seems kind of absurd to me, but then I think "modern" FF fans must view us the same way haha. The attention and money always moves to the "best looking" modern things regardless of gameplay style.
Can someone detail to me the AC-Style you're seeing? I mean, I do recognize Barret's handgun as that, but if I stop the video just right...he doesn't look like rapper Barret with anything else. His hair looks like it's the high top style, his torso and arms are heavily muscled and disproportional, and his jacket is the old school brown leather. The same goes for Cloud's outfit being that of Soldier. Midgar also looks a lot darker than the AC movie, as if its life is being sucked away by the reactors. They also referenced the trains and playground from the original.Well for me, I never said it was - I watched the trailer once on my cell phone at an awkward angle, haha. I just hope it has its own visual style compared to what we've been seeing with the FF7 series recently. I'll check out the gameplay videos in more detail.
I'm just curious on others view of AC-style
Yeah I know about this model but I had no idea that it also has a higher quality face. All faces have mouths like you can see in makou but psx version aint showin them. I suggest that it has to do with the low quality head polygons and the rootmap model has just much more detail so it can show it. Nice finding.Interesting. Maybe there is something you can toggle in the field files using a hex editor that enables mouths? Now that you mention it, it does look pretty good!
@RodenI didn't do anything, its just the rootmap field on PSX verison with Cloud turning to face the camera. The model in that scene is not the normal Cloud model, it has the height of a battle model (and a mouth, apparently, can't say I noticed that!). I used that rootmap field as the new game screen where you select your first character (after selecting new game, it teleports you from midgar station without you noticing and before the intro plays).
I mean rootmap cloud. Psx does not display mouths, his face looks like pc version.
Is the last shot in your video a photo montage or did you get into worldmap scripting? Also for the intro, how did you do it?Hey Meesbaker - Nah, it's just a "photo montage" so people can see the whole team on the world map. There was no need to do any world map scripting as everything can be controlled from the field script. You can change the location of characters/vehicles from the field, and even turn off battles on the world map. Other events on the map can be controlled via gameprogress variable.
Ah, I forgot to ask about the faction points. Could you go more in depth in what you had planned for that mechanic? Would points you earn be granted to your party as a whole, or to each individual character? I'm guessing certain quests or areas would open up depending on which town or faction you have more points of.Damn, you're really inside my mind, that's a great question which I thought a lot about. My idea from the very beginning was to make sure each character has a unique individual experience. The purpose of the mod itself was to provide that lone wanderer feel.
I'd be very interested in seeing this once it's in a presentable state; especially if it's similar to what you've done here!
I was thinking that the changing weather + time of day would be really interesting to add in, lend areas a little more character to them when revisited (with changing NPC behaviour, though shops would always be open for convenience sake). I've always liked how in Costa Del Sol the party would split up and do their own thing, which was something I was wanting to expand out for NT (only a few new areas got this so far, Wall Market and Kalm); but doing the same for regular NPCs as well, adding in side quests and small events, would be pretty cool too. As far as character-specific sidequests go, I think a good 'hub' for those would be the Highwind's Operations Room; could send characters to certain areas and have handlers to avoid using the World Map.Yeah that's no problem. For the rain I coded it so there's some random chance of it appearing every few seconds or so. When it does appear, it will continue when you step into the next field (obviously it stops in houses). And then the field after that next field will be slightly "weaker". For the snow areas, I removed the snowstorm layer from the backgrounds which gives it that clean look. Those areas should probably have rain and snow randomly though I didn't code that yet.
I was very disappointed when I read that you'd stopped working on this project (but real life takes priority so don't worry about it); great way to make use of the PS1's key strength which is each Disc can be coded separately (whereas the PC game needs 7H in order to bring in different files, etc). As far as mods go, it's a fresh take from the usual 'fight new stuff' that gameplay mods for any game generally go with.
Now I gotta ask; would it be possible to get a copy of your prototype? There was a tonne of cool things in your trailer that I'd like to have a shot at implementing into NT. In return, if you ever pick up the project again and need a hand with scripting for battle, field, etc. then could lend a hand with that. I'll understand if you want to keep it under wraps though.
For example, I hated that Barret "explosives" segment - it didn't even show the flash or anything. I was going to cut it out or record a door blast, but just left it in.. Great idea! I especially like what you've done with those field skills. It would be interesting to see how they would help to progress through the game. Those rogue and assassination mission options look very intriguing as well. Just from the video alone it shows you've put a lot of time and effort into this so I hope one day the necessary tools will be available for you to complete it.My vision for the field skills were as such:
And is this other RPG of yours still quite early on in development?
