Final Fantasy Altered

Gi Nattak Wrote:What up bro, been playing Altered and thought I'd take some notes. Hopefully you won't mind! Should help to make it better, so that way you can re-release it and I can help to advertise it more so people will play.

notes, from start to up to floating continent:

- dialog during the intro 'movie' scene, needs to have a button pressed to advance it, or it bleeds over and will not be read. It will produce a graphical issue with the textbox in the intro event on the cliff, if the very last dialog box wasn't button pressed on.

- The intro dialog on the cliff is automatic, meaning it will advance on it's own without needing to press a button, which is how it's done in the original, but, there is one dialog box where Vader says

"Imbecils!" you have there that does not advance and requires a button press, and that is inconsistant with the others. The very next dialog box also same thing.

- Countless grammar and spelling mistakes lol, I'm sure you must be aware of this and I'm not going to catalog each and every one I see, but they're all over the place, missing punctuation and capitolization errors is the main thing I've noticed. I don't really mind it but anyone else will undoubtadly b*t*h a ton about it and might not even want to play, trust me. I think before you re-release it you should address this issue it will go a looong ways.

- Cactuar walking through South Figaro = priceless. Love how the dog is also following him and he can't shake him lol. Nice way to switch that up and still make it work. Love this Cactus guy!

- Trilium monster has goofy palette.

- Squall comes equiped with a sword that he is not supposed to be able to use, looses it once unequiped. Also Squall using knuckles instead of sword?!? Not sure I'm feeling that, maybe knuckles can go to someone else?

- Kefka's pallete is jacked up in battle, prolly cause last 4 colors thing.

- Laughing gas is great, the dying kings speach is funny as f**k!

- Merchant monster sprite is some messed up thing.

- Aww no Joker monster sprite to replace Kefka?! =(

- Compressed Esper Terra flying to Zozo still.

- It's funny how Rachel forgets who her father is, but remembers her boyfriend lol.

- NPC in ZOZO after the Ramuh Scene, is stuck in the rock unnable to be talked to. The Thief NPC that is, right when you enter the town.

- "Oh bollocks" at the opera scene had me ROFL. In fact, the whole new opera lyrics did as well!

- Old man needing to take a piss to sneak into the factory was very funny.

- Ifrit monster sprite in the Factory is messed up graphicly.

- elevator down to magitek cart ride thing has funky color.

- baby Vader sprite = awesome

- sealed gate has some funky palette going on.

Character Notes:

Xyraa is awesome, my favorite character out of the bunch. He doesn't seem like Locke at all which is an impressive feat to achieve.

Bowser, I don't recal him talking cavemanish in any games he was ever in, for instance Super Mario RPG, so I'm curious why he does here? It comes off more like Gau still imo.

Vader is dope, love when it says (heavy breathing) lol. Wish he could be more evil and less of a emotional scared wreck like Terra was though.

Zok is another favorite, doesn't seem like Cyan at all and is very humorous.

Max, I more or less didn't care about at all, kinda boring character, but what can ya do.

Squall, doesn't seem like Squall at all to me, still like Sabin with most of his dialog.

Cactus is f**k**g great bro.

Janson makes a good replacement for Edgar, I never played the game he's from so I can say little more than that.

16 doesn't feel like his DBZ self, of intelligent quiet.

Goomba is alright, not much you could really do to make him seem more like a Goomba lol, as it is it is obviously a Goomba saying Strago's lines lol, maybe draw some inspiration from the Goombas in Paper Mario?

Magus, same as above kinda.

Johny (the man) is cool, seems to be about right!
