Re: New Project: Final Fantasy VII 2D remake

Hi!

I know this topic is quite dead and dead topics should not be brought back to life. Well I dont know why? I mean sometimes its good thing to re-open some conversation. Now to the point.

If we would make Final Fantasy VII 2D remake we could forget that 2D engine cr*p and make roguelikegame with some programming language like C++ or Python.

We would only need some very skillful programmer (roguelikes are not easy to make.. and what about 2D then? )

We have game engine too. Remember those excellent report about gamemechanics by Terence Fergusson? He's three reports were: "Battle mechanics", "Enemy Mechanics" and "Party Mechanics" and they can be found in gamefaqs.com

btw if Terence ever reads this: Incredible job! You're the man.

And if this "project" is freezed because of that copyright thingy.. just send them a letter. It cannot harm anyone. If they dont give the permission to use they're consept then we can just move on other things

Then why did you?

It's illegal. Move on. Feel free to send a letter, you won't get a response.

Heck, while we're busy performing thread necromancy, I should mention in response to the earlier comment by Elentor about modifying the game being illegal. It isn't. It's in violation of the EULA, which is not law. You can't just create laws because you feel like it. You will not and cannot be arrested for violating a EULA. However, it does give them grounds to sue you.

What does this mean? It means you're still not allowed to do it, but it isn't illegal. It's not permitted.

If you know that you're not supposed to revive dead topics, then don't.  Make a new topic and refer to the old one.

Hum, good point.

Right, you cannot be arrested by police for breaking EULA, but this will be used in court by representives of Squeenix. So it's still in your defavor.

Actually, it is illegal. The EULA is a legal document (a contract) between user and the software company the owns the software. You breech that contract, they have the right to sue you for all your worth (especially if it's copyright software) in a Civil Court since it isn't criminal unless stated in the contract so you can't go to jail for breech of EULA unless stated.

If a copyright software didn't show a EULA, you still have to treat it as if it did (in basic form) cause downloading the software is like agreeing to the EULA. You breech it, you can still can get sued.
