FFVI: Alternate History - Ghost XIII - 01-13-2013 Right now this is a working title, and will likely see change before the project is finished. Updated May 21, 2013 So what is this project? This project is a hack of FFVI where the individual history of many characters has changed. Essentially what would happen if certain character's personal histories occurred differently, specifically events such as the pasts of Edgar and Sabin, Setzer, and Locke. There will be small story changes here and there accounting for these changes, and (hopefully, if I can afford the time) event editing making for some unique story events. What kind of changes are to be expected? I want this to be a somewhat new experience for players who have already played through the game, and as such there will be new items, spells, abilities, espers, as well as new and stronger bosses. There will be new weapon animations and character sprites as well. There will be some new characters, and redone sprites for most other characters. At this point almost all characters will see some sort of changes. There will also be restrictions on access to espers and spells, making characters more specialized and reliant on their special abilities and specialized stats (e.g. fighter classed characters vs. mages or support characters.) A large part of this hack will centre around consequences of certain characters not being in certain places or different characters making different choices -- some of these will be good, some of them quite bad. A more complete list of changes (with spoilers):
A few introductory images: Questions, comments, and helpful criticism are all welcome. RE: FFVI: Alternate History - SSJ Rick - 01-13-2013 sounds interesting RE: FFVI: Alternate History - CaptCatchphrase - 02-26-2013 This is really interesting. I actually had a similar idea, though it's still in the "drawing board" phase. It'll require a major script rewrite and some sprite alterations. I'd really like to see more of yours when you've completed more of it. I love alternate history stories in general (I'm a history buff IRL, so I love writing/reading about "what ifs," whether it's in the real world or fictional ones), so this is really interesting stuff to me. Also, I have to ask: will there be a custom Elayne sprite? You'd think there'd have to be; she was generic in the original release. RE: FFVI: Alternate History - bryan120608 - 04-24-2013 I think this is a really awesome idea and I can't wait to see it come to life. How far are you on the project? RE: FFVI: Alternate History - ZoMathew - 04-25-2013 Very interesting screenshots with the new characters!! RE: FFVI: Alternate History - bryan120608 - 04-26-2013 I don't know why but with Sabin in Edgars outfit.... he looks like he has a mullet lol and Leo looks like their long lost brother. In the pic with him using magic he looks like he is wearing the same outfit as well. RE: FFVI: Alternate History - brandonkeay - 05-20-2013 Interesting RE: FFVI: Alternate History - Ghost XIII - 05-20-2013 Didn't know people were still paying attention to this project, hah. How far along is the project? Probably around 30-40%, I have a few more sprite sheets to complete for the characters (e.g. adventurer sprite for Rachel, new sprite for Gau, and finish my redux sprite for Terra.) Other than sprite sheets it's a few minor map changes, revising dialogue and events, some hex editing, and revamping some monsters. This project has taken a slight backburner to my other one, a redux version of FF1. RE: FFVI: Alternate History - SSJ Rick - 05-20-2013 my advice to you is to do all those things respectively on separate roms this way you can make patches for each change, that way, in case you make a mistake you can go back and put the pieces together again much faster and easier RE: FFVI: Alternate History - Astaroth_ - 05-20-2013 This project is really interesting! show more screenshots please :-) ! |
