Final Fantasy Essence

[celescole]

Yeah it is kinda rude. Sorry guys but I have custom music thats already been made, custom moogle and chocobo sprites, too. It can't happen. And even if I did remove the name, people would complain about it LOOKING like a FF fangame. Just leave it at that, a Fangame. Thanks. If you anti-fangame people want a non-fangame, then wait until I start making my original game, Audria, more of a concept and less than an idea. Thanks much though ^_^ but please, be respectful. Don't force me into something I don't want to do. There are a lot of other games out there that you guys could play.

I personally don't mind fangames, though of course there are some exceptions.
Just because "Final Fantasy" is written in the title doesn't mean the game won't be as good as if it wasn't.

They may be taken less seriously at first but I'm pretty sure most people will get over it if the story and all seem interesting enough. Like in this case. I guess.

You guys have heard of Final Fantasy Endless Nova, right? I want to surpass that. To tell you the truth, I thought that game was crap. It didn't live up to Final Fantasy...spirit? I get why people don't like FF fangames.

And I know people won't take it seriously. Actually, I've known this. I've been working on a FF fangame ever since I started RPG Maker.... that was with RM2k. I believe that if I can make a FF game BE like an FF game, I could think of the possibilities of what I could make if it were an original game. Like I said, I have Audria planned. It's about a girl, a jewel that once held magic in the world, and she kills her parents. Etc etc. Not really planned much lol. Thanks though haha

Never mind all of that nonsense about not making a fangame, Celes. Who's time is it that you're using? Who's making the game? Who's doing this as some sort of hobby? It's you. THAT'S RIGHT. So just go wild, and do what you have fun doing. If people happen to also like it, then that's a plus.

I wish you luck in your quest to surpass FFEN, and I will definitely play this once you've got something out.

People commonly trash on fan-games because of the same logic in trashing rap.
The absolute crap in the genre far swamps the gems.

I think most of us were trying to compliment him by saying his game looked great, but okay...

[fruckert]

Yeah, I was complimenting him too.

I just want charas to host more games. It seems we usually scare people or don't encourage games enough. Buuuut, that's not really the point of this thread and I don't want to make it that. I like the look of this game. If its got a good ff feel to it I'd love to play. Then I could tell people to their amazement I played a new ff that didn't suck.

 But even if it doesn't, it still looks promising as a game.

I'd just like to point out that according to celescole's profile, she is not a he. Whether it's true or not remains unknown, you can debate about it.

Anyway, all in all, having "Final Fantasy" is the title is fine, as long as the game is enjoyable. And this one seems interesting. Nice World Map too, by the way.

[celescole]

Haha thanks guys. I appreciate it. I accept any criticism even about the whole "Why is it named FF, it should be without"... even if it does kill me to read that. I'll be okay =) I'll have some battle screen updates as soon as I can! Oh, and new music. Of course of course.

You find it rude when someone criticize your game?  Then you want survive long in this world.

The only reason I'm suggesting to change the name is that I never download fangames. I prefer original stories, worlds, characters etc. from the authors mind. Not reused garbage that someone else already used to death.

[Cerebus]

But there is one thing you need to remember; not everyone will turn a game down just because of the title.
I'm pretty sure most people will get over the fact that "Final Fantasy" is written in the title, that there are Chocobos, etc.
People said "Remove Final Fantasy from the title and it'll be fine" which means the game is interesting enough. I doubt anyone who said that will  say "Well screw that, it is still in the title, I won't play it."

Of course, I could be wrong, though...

Off-topic:

Calling TC (and team's) noticeable effort "garbage" towards their game you haven't even played is rude.

On-Topic:

Compared to a vast majority of other RPG Maker games, this looks rather promising. I wish you and your team good luck, and welcome to charas .

[MissingName]

I completely agree with Rowan.  I want to see this game when it's done.
