That pic looks suspiciously like the mods here!

I've translated the page, and looked further into it, and it seems inconclusive to me ATM, maybe, maybe not....

Members of this forum who shall remain nameless, like to steal mods. One of which actually burned them to a disk and sold them.

Obesebear can fill you in :-P

Yep, he downloaded some mods and started selling them.

I'll quote obesebear:

Well that and the fact he has claimed other people's work as his own. He also burnt the modified files onto cd's and was selling them openly at a gaming convention. Calling it Final Fantasy VII-2 I think. There was even a newspaper report.

His "vision" or whatever, just clashed with ours too much. On top of possibly hacking into slayers account.

Since we're on the topic, I just wanted to point out his CUSTOM ACC CLOUD has an earring ripped from a Sims model. I'm sure the rest of it was downloaded from other places too, but whatever.

From that you may be able to tell who it is...

I'm actually not too surprised that someone would do that. I remember hearing about someone having burnt the Dead Fantasy series, and was selling it at cons. Finally someone else took pictures and reported him.

Lol I first ran google translator on Japanese. Just goes to show how similar Jap and Chinese are.

Dude, are people serious. Stealing from a modding community and selling it. Not only that but if Square catches wind guess who would be made to blame for that thieves' profits. *Points at all of you*
Me on the other hand, since I don't have anything worth stealing at this point they cant put a legal hand in my pocket. If they tried I'd go Berserker on them. Like how I want to go Berserker over this link. I just can't find a contact link on it.  :x

Berserker, Berserker, BERSERKER!!!

Sorry friends I mayhaps been chan-ning this morning

No one exactly "created" the mod indicated in the picture. It was simply just converted from the battle model to the field model. Therefore he didn't really steal anything.

I'm talking about the picture.

Well yeah but we're not also sure if they themselves were the ones who converted those since the programs needed to convert are found on these forums like Borde's kimera. So they did "steal" the copyright or they are like letting people download the mod which they have not done themselves.

There is nothing worse than stealing someone else's work and pretending it is your own.  It is the bottom of the barrel.  Very annoying.

the page did stated that he "collected the stuff from the Internet and make it easier to install on chinese translated patched game" or something like that so it isn't really claiming it is his own, but yeah there is no credit on original authors :(

They didn't also notify the people who made the mod if they wanted to share their mod into that site.
