Final Fantasy VII: 2D Remake, DEMO OUT! Options

[Vanit]

I'm sure most of you have seen my efforts occasionally posted around the various RM communities and since this forum seems to be the most active these days I've decided to make it my games new dev home. The main purpose of this thread is just to show people where I'm up to and hopefully get some encouraging feedback if people like what they see.

This remake is aiming to be as faithful as possible, and hopefully it should be impossible to tell its even made with rm2k3.

Feature List:

- Custom Menu System 99% similar to the original FF7
- Custom Battle System 99% similar to the original FF7 (including all mechanics, enemy AI, battle formulas, insane materia combos etc)
- Custom Text System (using the pic pointer patch I've devised my own system that uses the actual FF7 font and is capable of multiple windows etc as in the original FF7)
- Completely custom graphics (This won't just play like FF7, you'll recognise it all instantly in its 2D glory)
- Basically everything will have a custom system. Shops, mini games, chocobos etc. NOTHING will be cut, expect everything (in due time).
- Also for those wondering I've ripped the SFX and midi's from the pc version of FF7, so sound is completely authentic too (and not bad recorded quality either!)

Demo:

Release 1: "Proof of Concept" (8.5mb)

A taste of the intro (the whole Midgar shot will be done once I get the bombing mission finished)

Also there's a few other vids in my youtube profile that you're welcome to go fishing for if you want to see a more detailed look at the cms/cbs.

Why does he need to update and flesh out everything from the original? and what does he need to update and flesh out and bring up to date?

Well, that was 1997 when the original game came out and it's now 2011, so he needs to bring everything up to date, we r not in 1997 anymore. (For example, Fire2 into Fira) It'll be pointless, if it's going to be exactly the same wthout any updates and changes to the game.

U must of seen alot of remakes and they had alot of updates and changes to make it more up to date. Look at all the rest of the FF remakes, they r all still the same in gameplay, but everything else were brought up to date like items, magic etc. Do u know what I'm on about?

Aside from changing Spell2 into Spell-ra and Spell3 into Spell-ga, I have no idea what you mean. In what other ways should he update and flesh out and bring it up to date?

I've never seen a single remake, let alone one that has had "a lot of updates and changes to make it more up to date".
