CloseHey guys, I wanted to hear every ones opinion on making Final Fantasy XII into a 2D game. If I was to try and tackle a FF 12 demake, what should I expect? And how should it be done? I want to know things like the types of scripts that would be useful for a demake like FF 12. among other things, thanks :)

Go ahead and do it! Make yourself a level or two to test it, then if you still wanna do it, go ahead!
I think you should be more careful with the colors you pick, btw. I'll make a quick edit at your vaan to show what I mean
EDIT:
Here
While still not optimal, the colors "talk" a lot more to themselves, there is an overall solidity. I noticed also that you use a lot of unnecessary shades, such as for example the two highlight shades in the skintone. Try to emphasize contrast in your colors! Careful color picking is extremely important for a good sprite. I'd also advise studying other games' sprites and restraining yourself with a limited number of colors (for example, making a medium sized-sprite but deciding not to go past 8 colors) these would provide to be great exercides! Also, as Ocean taught me on his gorgeous Pixel Art Tutorial blog that's sadly now mostly comprised of dead links to images that doesn't exist anymore ( ;__________________; )avoid using pures! You use pure black, for example. It's generally a bad idea to do this on sprites. Also, take a little care with those outlines! You've got soft outlines for the hair, but extremely harsh ones for the skin! Well, I hope I could help. >.<
I noticed you posting those extremely charismatic sprites and I thought I might be able to help. I hope you don't get offended! If you want any further critique or tips, just contact me via PM! :D
Or post at the wip topic ^.^

Wow nice Joe I love the new color scheme! Thank you for the advice. I would love to have your help anytime, no offense taken.
I am totally all for this idea! If you need any help with anything, let me know!
What's your main area of expertise in gam mak? (Did I use that right? Am I cool now?)

I'll advise you to look at what I did and try to apply it to the others, jin69! I'm here to help if you need it! Try revamping those palettes ^.^

author=BansheeSerenademy main area is spriting, I can make music somewhat, and I do know how to put a game together, but I cannot script at all. Any help would be great!

So, by 'Demake' you mean a 2D Remake of a 3D Final Fantasy game?
Man, I could TOTALLY get behind this. If you go with FFVII, I will pledge you my full support. FWIW I have many a year of gammak under my belt.

Thanks Joe for helping me understand the colors a bit more. I will keep on training.

Those would be the sprites for FF7 if that was my the demake project, and yes by demake I do mean remaking the 3D FF games into 2D. I would like all the help I can get :)

Umm.. FFVII already has a full-fledged demake for NES. e_e
I think FFX deserves more love, REALLY ;_;
And I can't see that last link, Jin!

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

It's quite bad, the gameplay is like FF1 and the environments are unrecognizable. But yeah, it totally exists. Most RPG Maker fangames are, like, "An FF7 remake that looks like an NES game," but they don't really play like an NES game. But this one was on an actual NES cartridge, a hacked version of FF3 essentially. So it had all the actual limitations and problems of a real NES game.

It just loaded and WHOA, it really looks a lot better! Still, Balthier's, Ashe's and Basch's hairs could use some optimization. I especially LOVE the new Fran! Great palettes! Much better than mine, in fact.
Still, Sephiroth looks a little like a certain X-Men heroine

The poll is for which one wins the demake-makeover. I think FF7 always gets a lot of love, but I don't mind which one I attempt on doing. I think it would be fun to try one out.
Thanks, I like Fran also, but for the other 3 you mentioned should the colors be darker? Haha, what would you recommend I change on Sephiroth? I think my Vincent came out pretty good.
How about this?
We have a tie between FF 7 and FF 10...
