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

[Barchetta3223]

I'm not really one for FF7. I've actually played nearly all of them and this wasn't a big one for me. I dunno.

HOWEVER, I am absolutely astonished by the amount of detail you're putting into this remake. I've yet to see any fan-based original/remakes that even come close to what FF really is. If you ever do complete this game, I would be honored to give it a shot Maybe 2-D is all I need to fall in love with FF7 haha

Mmmmmm... Final Fantasy VII remake. Or demake? Its seems playfull. Good.
P.S. I have Final Fantasy VII: Dark Cloud (RPG Maker 2000), russian game with english text, and more bugs! XD
P.P.S. It's not my game.

Hey Vanit what do you plan on doing about the CG cutscenes?

[Vanit]

I'll be doing 2D interpretations of those cutscenes. For example the intro will be pretty much the same, the stars at the start, a close up of Aeris, angle change to the street, zoom out a bit and then cut to a sprite of Midgar (I'm looking forward to drawing this), zoom out, FF7 logo, flashes of the train, zoom into the reactor - it'll all be there.

Sounds interesting, can't wait to seem some of your work

I was thinking in make a FF7 demake with FF6 style (using the SDK in progress) but i haven't got good
skills for spriting, (for make good maps yes)

Final fantasy 7 is one of my favourite all time games, this remake looks visually stunning for an amateur 2d designer, so very well done, I ache to play a demo, I await your intro cut scene with great excitement! again, Very well done!

@gadesx, I've merged your double post. It might have been an error, but the posts were seven minutes apart.

I'm not sure if you're refering to me releasing an SDK, but for the moment my stance is that all my future releases will be moleboxed.

While I appreciate your offer for help, strictly speaking FF72DR has no maps and therefore no need for a mapper. I sprite my maps entirely outside of rm2k3 and insert them as a background, and then split the parts that need to overlap the player into a chipset and put collisions in. I do it this way because every map in FF7 is vastly different and contains too much detail to format it as a chipset anyway.

the SDK i refer is this: http://ff6sdk.webs.com/
ok dude, for make the upper part you can fix a picture with the upper part only and fix using variables, with chipset you need more time

for fix the complete picture of the map only with the upper part.

upper picture i usually use:


PD: about the dobleposing was a error of my mozilla while i tried edit a post.

I don't know what you're talking about or what this is in reply to. :S

[gadesx]

I wanna say, that if you use panorama for graphics, you need a upper part (graphics that
should be upper the character) and you can put em in in chipsets or like a picture.

[Vanit]

Yeah....... thats exactly what I said I was doing, I said this in the post you replied to. This is why I don't need a mapper, because the layout of the maps is decided by me when I sprite them.

To be honest, I haven't given this much attention until now. I'm on the fence with FFVII simply because I enjoyed it while it was on the PS, but never thought it was as great as everybody hyped it out to being. And since then, I've seen just about every incarnation of FFVII imagineable, from fangames, to sequels, to a movie... so my initial thought is it's time to move on.

But!

I decided to give your forum another look, and I was actually really impressed with the visuals. They look really nice, and the intro video of the train was really good. I'm almost inclined to say your game looks more impressive in 2D than the actual game did on the PS.

Thanks! Comments like these are what keep me going. :>

I'm still fine tuning some things before I post a video, but I thought I'd atleast show you guys the animation I came up with for Braver.

that braver animation is awsome!!

[Kaimi]

I agree with Remix; it's extremely smooth.

Oh man, this animation has so much potential, do you mind if I do an Edit on it to fix it up for ya?

[Vanit]

I'd rather you didn't touch it sorry, I'm still learning as a pixel artist and if other people fix up my sprites I won't learn, thanks though! However, you're more than welcome to point out which bits need fixing.
