ICYJK913'S PROFILE

Just saying.

Hey! Many people have asked about some flaws in this. In an attempt to stop them (some have been pretty extreme about it), here's a quick little TLDR. Just like many other threads on here, I am asking for help to develop this game. Because I lack sufficient skills in RPGMakerVX, I am not able to actually make the game. I want to develop it conceptually more, and then maybe create it, but not in the near future. Now please stop criticizing me for the "flaws" in the post!



Welcome!
I know there are many talented minds on here willing to contribute to others. Unfortunately, some of those minds are selfish and want others to help them out, like me. :'( However, if those selfish people didn't exist, projects wouldn't get started. And so, like Uncle Sam says, I want you!

What is Final Fantasy Genesis?
Final Fantasy Genesis is a fan-made Final Fantasy game that I have been creating in my head for quite a long time now. Even though it would be nice for it to be a reality, I don't intend on it being an actual, playable game... yet! From past experience, coming on here and asking "Hey help me create this game for me" won't get you many replies. My creativity lies in concept creating, but not handiwork. I can imagine and develop a beautiful painting in my head, but unfortunately, I can't paint it on a real canvas. Final Fantasy Genesis will be conceptual for the most part, and there is a specific way I like to create video games...

How is Final Fantasy Genesis "Drawn"?
You know how I said I can imagine a gorgeously complex picture but I can't draw it, right? Well, then you might ask how can I even get it out of my head at all? Well, what I CAN do is my best effort only, because that's all I can do. There is a way I create video games that I feel is creative and fun: a walkthrough! You know, like those walkthroughs on gamefaqs. Even though they are guides, they are also technically records of every piece of information about the game. They aren't beautiful pictures that require a steady hand and a lot of skill, they're just creatively organized information storages.

How can I help?
How can you help? Since this is conceptual, I don't require skill and huge effort at all. In fact, even just general feedback is a good contribution, though not satisfactory for what I want. Then again, who cares what I want? xD What my selfish self is expecting is just us discussing the game through this website's private messaging, and that's pretty much it! However, if there is any way you can contribute in a way larger than that, that would be AMAZING! Wait... why would you help if you know absolutely nothing about Final Fantasy Genesis?

About Final Fantasy Genesis
Final Fantasy Genesis incorporates many elements from the SNES Final Fantasy games, except with updated graphics and a new battle system that I like to describe as a mixture between the regular ATB turn-based aspect of the SNES Final Fantasies mixed with the command chain system of Final Fantasy XIII. The plot, however, is not very developed, which leaves so much room for your creative help! But, I will tell you as much as I can.

Final Fantasy Genesis takes place in a world with technological settings in between Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII's technological settings. The world is ruled by a benevolent theocracy, Creed, who worships 8 "gods", who are named after espers/summons of the main Final Fantasy Games. Throughout the world are the 8 "graces", each reminiscent to those "gods", which are pretty much centers of their activities and stuff like that. They are mainly inspired off of the garden's from Final Fantasy VIII, especially Balamb garden, in which they look like Christmas ornaments. Going against the ideals of the other Final Fantasy games, magic is highly illegal in Creed law. However, there is a rebellion force, the Order of the Raven, known for their feathery red capes, who believe that that the gods that Creed runs on are false, and are lead by the self-proclaimed "goddess" Mariora, who is highly skilled in magic. Like any good Final Fantasy games, there is a set of characters, even though this list is incomplete:

1. Lupin Essenkes
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Weapon: Lance
Look: Has Mako's hairstyle from the legend of Korra, wears a long thin sky blue jacket with a black shirt underneath and the collar unfolded, brown boots, black athletic pants, and brown gloves
Personality: (too) serious, shows courage but is really afraid, very loyal, hostile
About: Lupin is the general of the Lanter's Grace branch of Creed's army, Crusade

2. Roy Gatillo
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Weapon: Twin Pistols
Look: don't know yet :)
Personality: humorous, lazy, complains a lot, reliable friend
About: All I know about him is that he's Lupin's best friend and also his military partner

3. Elius (Wren Creine III)
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Weapon: Big Sword
Look: don't know
Personality: arrogant, control freak, strict, much more mature for his age
About: Even though he is 12 years old, he initially presents himself as "Elius". Later on he's revealed to be Wren Creine III, the high general of Crusade (pretty much the most important military leader). He is a child prodigy, a tactical genius, and though he isn't strong and muscly, his small stature makes him very nimble.

And for now, that's all I have. :(

So... now what?
Well, now, you should give me your feedback! If you would like to help, allyou have to do is private message me, simple!

Thank You very much and Have a Great Day!

I want to make a logo for a project I'm doing. I don't actually want to make it into a game, but I do want a logo. I tried making one of my own, but

I failed :/

It's just simply a Final Fantasy Genesis in front of a lady with a long dress on the moon. I literally just found that image by looking up "goddess" or "moon goddess" or something like that... either way it's still just a goddess.

I don't have any artistic skill and I made that with Paint.Net. And no, unfortunately, I'm not paying anyone, because first of all, it's not like painting the Mona Lisa, and second of all, I don't even know how people are even trusted to be paid on here, since the anonymity of this site, heck, any site, is just too shady for me. :'( And I'm poor...

So yeah it's just that. It just needs that Goddess with the gradient that every Final Fantasy logo has. I mean you don't even have to put anything fancy to it, just the goddess the colors, I could change the colors to my liking in paint.net and I could also add the logo.

I just hope nobody's turned away by the fact that you won't be paid... :(

Well I made a little something for a thing I want to do, since my area of expertise is in music. It is a battle theme for one of my RPGmaker projects:

Battle Theme - Gachette

Listen, I don't know that much about programming and I don't know to what extent I should ask people for help on these forums, but I tried to learn Ruby and it was just too overwhelming and my creativity should be used in other fields than programming, There's this battle system I created that I want to put it into action to test.

Now I'll try to explain this as best I can. You have a three-member party consisting of A, B, and C, whom each have ATB gauges that will gradually fill up like in Final Fantasies 4-9. Let's say C's ATB gauge is filled up, now it is his turn, but it is only his turn for a limited amount of time. While it is his turn, the Command Menu and C's Command Slots will appear. The "Command Menu" is where "Attack Magic Items etc." can be selected and the Command Slots are the amount of commands that C will be able to execute in his turn. So let's say C has 4 slots and "Attack" takes up one slot, he enters "Attack Attack Attack Attack" and he can either wait until the time limit on his turn is up or he can finalize the commands. He will then execute those commands, which will be executed no matter what, even if you're choosing commands for the next character. So I guess it like waiting for a characters' turn like in Final Fantasies 4 - 9 and then entering a chain of commands to be executed like in Final Fantasy 13.

So yeah. Does this even sound good as a battle system? Of course going through 500 menus to pick the commands you want will be annoying (which I have plans to improve) but for the purpose of testing, I'd like to keep it simple.
