Final Fantasy IV Alter Destiny

Hey folks at RMN! Here's an update for you all on where I'm at with FF IV AD. I've evented up to the Dark Elf scenario, though an idea occurred to me that I've spent the last 3 days doing and perfecting. We now have an Arena! What I've done is replace the basement level of the Pub (Brothel) in Troia and kept it looking similar to before, but now it's a battling Arena.

Players will be able to fight enemies not just from other FF games, but also from other Squaresoft and Enix titles as well (I've enhanced those sprites using an Image Resizer with 4x XBR filtering so that they're comparable in quality). What separates the Arena from the Lunar Expanse area are the following; the Lunar Expanse can only be accessed after you defeat the final boss of the game, whereas the Arena can be accessed soon as you get to Troia (and have enough money for a Member's Writ), and the Arena will feature "random encounter" enemies and lower-level bosses in addition to higher-level bosses while the Lunar Expanse features only final bosses.

Also of note, due to inclusion of the Arena and the Lunar Expanse, is that the soundtrack is HUGE. I've properly looped (as best as I could) each and every track. Each battle from other FF and Squaresoft/Enix games have their own battle themes, remixed/remastered (for the most part) by Youtubers and OCRemix and others across the 'net. Looks like my Credits section for music is going to take the longest to do.

So this is where I'm at. I'm incredibly motivated to finish this and get it out for testing. I'm hoping to have the whole game done by the end of April/May, though of course, we'll see. Thank you for the continued support, and I hope everyone enjoys the game when it releases!
