SABIN1981'S PROFILE

Ahhh, so the code (which I've now forgotten, yay! :D) will be the same? I wasn't aware the random factor only applied at the beginning. Thanks Gibmaker. And yes, I remember exactly what it was; I tried to deploy the Turret I was carrying and as soon as it was put down; bam. Crash.

Also, why are you apologising? lol, it's a WIP! Problems are to be expected =)

Like it says, you need the RTP installed. It actually comes bundled with the demo, but for some reason the game doesn't see it.. so you need to install manually. It's only 35MB;

Okay! I just finished the demo play after 1hr and 56 minutes with party levels 23/13/13/13 and here is my feedback;


-glitches-


*I have the full K-Lite Codec Pack installed yet the game still required me to install your XviD codec before the opening movies would play. That's a little bizarre :D
*Opening intro, in the Crystal Room of Mysidia, the tiles are out of alignment and the crystal only appears when Cecil steps near it.
*Music fades out and back again instead of seamless looping as in original game(s)
*Music sometimes restarts on scene change instead of continuing.
*Sleeping in beds has visual issues, party members have their heads cut off and sleep further down the bed - NPCs seem to sleep higher higher the bed tile.
*Chests "jump" when opened. Unsure if this is deliberate or a side-effect of the animation.
*Characters freezes in place after doing the victory jump/spin animation. Sometimes only Cecil performs the victory animation.
*Tent can be used in dungeons/towns/etc, not just on the world map. Animation/event is only shown on the world map and savepoints as normal.
*Selecting multiple allies/enemies can sometimes be glitchy. Example; sometimes Tellah's Cure spell actually cures the ENEMY despite clearly targetting all Allies and Rydia's Cure spell cures allies instead of the targetted Undead enemies. It's rare but does happen from time to time and only happens when using "all" selection.
*Allies always have the ability to see enemy HP, unsure if glitch or intentional - but it's good nonetheless! :P
*Can't select all allies outside of battle, making healing/curing 3-4x more expensive.
*Wooden Arrows cost 7500GP??
*Load Game dialogue doesn't display the character levels correctly. I'm currently Lv23/13/13/13 with Cecil/Rosa/Edward/Rydia, yet the load dialogue shows Lv10/13/6/1.. heh.
*Critical crash upon loading a save game after dying in battle during the same gaming session;



This also happens from time to time if you just F12/reset back to the title screen and try to load a save game.


-suggestions-

*Adding a cloud layer under the airship during the intro would go a long way to eliminating some of the left-over RPGMaker feel, same as when flying the airship normally.
*The dancers in various cities and towns just spin around in a circle - perhaps making them jump around a bit instead?
*Possible add the series-staple Magic/Summon cast animations?
*Perhaps cast some shadows under the Baron Fleet that bombards Damcyan?
*This FFIV is magnitudes larger than FFMQ, may I humbly BEG that you DON'T change anything so critical as to invalidate previous save files? Losing a 20hr save game would be.... umm... less than fun :P


"You spoony bard!" ---- Weeee! <3 I had a blast with this, the mapping is faithful (if a little "square" sometimes, mostly due to the tendency of RPGMaker to be square) and the game felt just like FFIV. I have no real complaints at this time. Keep up the awesome work, Jake! I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Call me nuts, but I still prefer your earlier example :D It fits great with the overall theme and mood of the game =)
