A Final Fantasy fan-game with a twist...

A seemingly normal life. An average existence. That's all Kumo Atsureki has ever strived for, as the sole guardian of his younger brother at 19. Working as a hired gun with a young man named Levi Raionomoi, his long-time best friend, they work towards a future where they can do what they like rather than working for the highest bidder.

That's about to all come crashing down when their childhood friend Miri Joumaeshin, co-leader of the rebel movement LANDSLIDE, asks them to aid in bombing a Okam Reactor as a favour, something they can't say no to.

Oh, and a casual trip to Tokyo for a...cosplay convention, of course.

Things are about to get very, very messy, as the fragile 'normal' existence becomes a thing of the past and they become the only hope to save the world.

That is, of course, if they can save themselves...

Cosplay Crisis is a complete full-length RPG (stemming upwards of 10 hours in length depending how you play). If issues DO crop up, please check this list of unfixable bugs before submitting a bug report.


-Anything with materia.
-You cannot save on the world map. This is intentional - there is a save point in the terminal on the airship bridge.
-The 'Blasting Zone' animation appears over the Battle Status. I fiddled with it far too much as it is, so I left it.
-Common event skills don't update the battle status straight away (1000 Needles and Shock). I tried to fix this, too, but couldn't fathom a way to fully refresh the battle status through the common event call...so it has been left.
-If you use a Kumo/Levi limit break while critical, the characters won't reappear immediately. I'm not sure why this is, and haven't got a clue how to fix it.

3.2 Changelog

Hi All,

Long time coming since the Anniversary release, but I burnt myself out on it, and ended up rushing out 3.0 due to an arbitrary deadline.

As per gamepage reports, 3.0 suffered from a handful of move route softlocks, which I discovered arose due to the new sprint system added with the 3.0 release. These should all be fixed with 3.2.

Due to these softlocks I doubt anyone got far enough to realise, but as it turns out the game was completely unfinishable in its released state as the Hive/Banora Ruin Facility wasn't functional. It was this section that was worked on last before releasing, and I apologise to any who did reach this point and realised they couldn't progress.

Obviously, this entire section has been revised and is completable in its entirety.

Other changes to the game include:

Replaced some battlebacks and animations (as well as fixed some of them)
Slight EXP and Materia rebalancing (this is not retroactive so if you have current saves, they will not be affected.)
Fixed Bahamut's countdown into Megaflare
Various passability issues, which of course. This is never going to be perfect. But there should be no instances of passability softlocking the game, IDEALLY. If there are any remaining please report them to me ASAP so I can update the game version.
The 'Sustain' Materia can now be obtained and bought from some Materia shops.
(Adjustments were also made to its MP costs but since it wasn't obtainable nobody is gonna know what I did anyway)
More Kupo Nuts have been added to the game, so the Kupo Nut quest should definitely be completable (as I think there are more nuts than rewards). I guess we'll see? (This is the means to obtain the only Ribbon in the game).
The Green Propagator in the Ragnarok now uses a group Slow instead of a group Sleep, hopefully preventing an unfair gameover.
Aio/Seifer's battle graphic during the second encounter with him has been changed to reflect the altered Hive's story events.
Alicia's battle graphic has been changed because she's part of the final boss roster and deserved a little more respect, especially as 3.0 puts her motives a little more front and center.
The Manor in Aetas has been revamped (the new Foyer is in screenshots). If you're saved in the save point inside the Manor, the game will automatically fix your position (it will not do this if you're entering the area for the first time). The manor as a whole should feel more like the FF7 mansion.
Enemy drops have been slightly adjusted, adding new items and increased drops.
Shiva's boss fight has been tweaked to justify her summon spell strength.
The MP for summoning Shiva has been upped from 45 to 65 MP
Characters now level cap at 35, which is more than enough to curbstomp everything in the game. Completion level for myself was around 24-26.
Some general fixes to message box position, though not all of them, so choice boxes will still occasionally clip out of the screen.
Adjusted the state rate of 'Stop' against bosses, as Seal Evil could make a majority of them a cakewalk.

Other general fixes, adjustments, etc, as one would expect.

Major note: YOUR SAVES SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE, , so while you will need to redownload the game, you can just drop your save files in and continue from there.

For anyone between the observation tower and the motorbike battles, there is a rather annoying glitch that popped up. I've already pmed her it in my third list of bugs and I'm sure she will get a patch up asap.
I can't beat the first battle against the motorbikes.
If you have the glitch where the graphics are messed up, click on the latest blog, and download the patch 6 slots down. Otherwise if you are simply having trouble beating it, just be sure to use healing items/cure materia. I personally found the battle to be rather easy.
Am I missing something here? The game starts with a scene where a bunch of characters are standing around a car, then the game jumps to the bridge and the battle starts. I have no abilities except for Plasma Burst, which I can't use and no items. The motorbikes kill me in about 2 rounds.
That sound's really odd. My guess is that whenever she reuploaded the game, she forgot to change the starting location. Where your at now had a glitch I've been helping her fix.

Well, we will find out whenever she checks back here.

Demonlord, it might be best if you stop, based on the evidence at hand.
Yeah, I was just trying to help her fix up the game, but seeing it's stressing her out this much, you might be right.

Edit; After a couple minutes of thought, I think I will. I was sticking to pm's for the more major stuff, but seeing as most of the bugs are minor things (only a couple major game breakers), it would probably be for the best. A bunch of minor bugs won't kill the game, and it's not worth if it it's stressing her out this badly.

EXCUSE ME WHILE I FUCKING KILL MYSELF

I HATE THIS GAME


Can I do that for you? I hate ungrateful bitches! hahaha

I'm just playing, relax.

Demonlord5000 is a well known dedicated tester, he's just trying to help, dear. :)
She's over reacting based (probably not considering how many times she's reuploading this thing) on the amount of bugs she missed and having to reupload it with Australian Internet if I may add. It's just frustration on her part. I had this issue with Princess Princess too and I almost exploded (Tho mine is just 71 mb). So really.

I remember one of the bug reports being a minor spelling mistake and she exploded having to update the game again and decided not to until something major happens again.

So yes, that comment was absolutely unnecessary.
It's cool... on my part, I'm just messing around with the situation.

Women feel more anxiety than us men cause of all the hormones and shit lol...

Woman: where's the baby! where's the baby! I need to go shopping! XD

I have women in my life, I understand.

I have recently been lurking on other RM sites, and I feel like there is a LOT more passion on this site. Krysty, you should take a break from this game. You worked extremely hard on it to finish it for us, the fans. Take a breather and do something you want to do! It's no longer worth doing if you're not having fun doing it.

P.S.

Enjoying myself while playing!

I'm sorry about getting so frustrated. I've had a lot going on recently and I am overreacting a tad, I would've edited my post but my browsers are being a tad screwy right now. CharlesGabriel, I don't really appreciate being patronized and stereotyped because I'm female. There's a lot of other factors at work here besides my gender.

I do plan on taking a bit of a break for a while- I've learnt a lot from this game and hopefully next time I won't have the same issues. A lot of things are basically because of how long this game has been in development- old code, remapping, teleports that go to old exits, etc. Like I said in IRC every time I try to fix something something else breaks.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. I know about the current error with Kumo appearing in the intro when he shouldn't because I forgot to set the correct graphic (I was testing the error with Crazy Motorcycle) but I think it's minor enough to leave it as it is.

I'd better be off. Puddean is nagging for I, Sammich, to watch Supernatural, and I think I'm going to oblige!

Well, I'm just glad to see your back to yourself. I know ya need a break after all this, so I'll just put it like this. My testing is on hiatus till further notice. What I mean by that, is that I know you have other projects under your belt, and it's gonna be a good while before you ever want to touch this one again. Just let me know whenever (if ever), you feel like working on this again and I'll give ya a hand. It can be a month or a year, if I'm still around, the offer stands.

Also, don't let the minor stuff I found get ya down. I consider myself a skilled tester, and I tend to find an overbundance in any game I test, not just yours.) The minor things don't really hinder the gameplay all that much, and when it comes down to it, you made a good game with a good story, and I unfortunatly picked it up after battles were made easier :(.

I don't know if it helps, but here's my philosophy with minor stuff. One has to be able to go back and laugh at there own mistakes, lest we overstress ourselves. At any rate...I'm rambling a bit, and I guess what I'm trying to say, is just take a break from game making for awhile, kick back, relax, and be glad ya released something. Enjoy supernatural (I used to watch that myself).
