Title: Final Fantasy Mods - MCINDUS YouTube Channel
Post by: Mcindus on 2014-07-19 08:59:37
MCINDUS YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLOBIu0AHQyCzP0BjCbbCg)

I have created a channel mainly as a demonstration of the capabilities of modern FF modding, and what a hive-mind like Qhimm can accomplish over time.  This channel will be updated with mod tutorials, video demonstrations, let's play videos, walk-through's, and more!

Find it HERE (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLOBIu0AHQyCzP0BjCbbCg) and Subscribe!

I currently only have FF8 Steam videos, but I will be expanding and showcasing FF7 Mods as well over time.  I felt that this forum needed some video tutorials a long time ago, and I think this is how I will facilitate that.

I finished a new video and posted it to YouTube today that showcases ALL of the current Tonberry mods available for Final Fantasy 8 on Steam.  Watch it HERE! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3w33lfeBGk)

The last video I showcased with Gameplay (Part 1) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uOKgOMPzD4) had some glitches in it and only had half of the actual SeeD Reborn (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15320.0) mod in it.  After releasing SeeD Reborn v3.1 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15320.0),  I wanted to show what FF8 could really look like as a whole package.  Also, I figured after I posted the Tonberry Tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX5PTwQVVmo), I would try my hand at speaking over my videos.

Currently, my channel has 5 videos:

Tonberry Mod Tool Video Tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX5PTwQVVmo)

The Gameplay/Let's Play video series is using the Mods:
Project Eden (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15292.0), RaW (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13715.0), Tripod (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15301.0), and SeeD Reborn (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15320.0)


As I continue my "Let's Play" videos, I will be mainly showcasing mods as they are released, but I will also be having fun!
:mrgreen:

The next 2 tutorials will be on how to use DLPB's mods:
Installing Roses and Wine (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13715.0)
Using HextLaunch (from DLPB's Tools 2.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13574.0)) to add the Difficulty (hard.dll) and other Add-on .dll's to FF8 (from THIS post)

Also, to the community:
What would you consider the absolute BEST visual FF7 mods to be?  I want to do an 'Ultra' version of FF7 for a video series, but I'm not sure what to pick from since it's all so robust.  I will definitely be using cmh's models for this video, considering I want the visuals to be as HQ and consistent as possible - but what else should I use?
On a sidenote, I think I will also be doing a let's play of DLPB's "Reunion" R02 when it comes out, and I know some of you purists want everything as true to the original as possible, so I'm saving the unshaded models, etc for that version... Unless you guys think I should just smash it all together into one series?

If you plan to ever showcase N7 you should make sure you know what you're getting into.

Yow!

Nightmare VII (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13468.350) is really robust and pretty amazing.... but as far as the difficulty is concerned; you sir, are a Sadist.

I can't believe I've never tried Nightmare.  Currently it's only the first disk?  I think I would reserve a let's play for that where people actually get to hear me lose my cool as time goes on.  I hope you don't mind if my video ends with me Rage Quitting... lol

The difficulty is, at best, like 10% higher than the hardcore mod. What makes it "seem" harder is that you don't know any of the gameplay mechanics anymore. I believe it makes for a fairly nice LP but you'll have to do a decent amount of grinding off-screen and obviously tell people you did that.

I don't have that big of an opinion of the visual mods but I generally don't like the chibi field models

I just finished this.  It's hilarious and I had to share.

This marks the beginnings of a beautiful relationship...

LoL... that wasn't done in free time... that was done during insomnia time one night a few days ago...  And I'm pretty sure I'm going to use him in my series at some point.  When I made SeeD Reborn and Tripod, I had decided to devote all of my previous 'gaming time' to 'modding time' for the benefit of the community and ff8 fans.

Yes, I got the subs, I just haven't had time to put them in. I've been teaching a camp all week. Thanks again for those! :)
