Well, it's not that, but signing a petition ain't gonna get Joe Blow to step up and say "Hey, I'll spend a year or two programming something for no profit whatsoever! Sounds like fun!" It ain't happening.

Thats true, but if we make it look official enough we might be able to get Bob (a.k.a. some guy about as smart as Dilbert's boss) to pay Joe Blow to do it.....yeah right.......Quote:

Oh well...maybe I'll do it in a few years after I finish learning C++
As I understood it, people who beat FF3PC (and found all of the secrets, old and new) would not only get the source code, but also the editing tools that Kryten was using to put it all together. So yes, you could make your own Final Fantasy, but there was no guarantee of how user friendly the editor would be.
Kryten had promised to remake FF6, and work in several new things; popular rumors off the internet such as resurrecting General Leo, and he'd add some new areas and subquests. He said he'd also include in the game the secret unused enemies from the ROM such as Colossus. He had some other plans too, like a multiplayer coliseum of some sort.
I don't know what happened to Kryten. He was gone for a few weeks, then he popped in to say that he had computer trouble but he would still be with us, and that was the last we ever heard from him. It's been almost a year since then.
He was also going to add "prizes" for how fast you beat the game and how many secrets you unlocked. As well as removing the 9999 max damage, and making some of the bosses without a max life. There were other things as well, like solutions (maybe) to things like "What happens if I kill Kefka in the WoB?" (Which I have done in the original, he falls over and dies...then gets up and runs away)
More things would have changed (for the better) too, but I probably shouldn't spend an hour listing them all.
I just hope the project is revived...some day.
Hmm, I have never heard of FF3PC before, but from what I've read, It sounds good, I myself have beaten the actual game. I am very interested in this and will help if you want me to.:D
Would I be right to say that there are old versions still around, and If so, where can I get them from?:confused:
The last demo had a neat title screen (in FF6 style I guess) but all you could do was walk around Narshe like at the beginning of the game with Terra, Wedge, and Biggs in Magiteck Armor. The demo did do the parts where Biggs and Wedge talk about entering the town, and when they have to enter the cave and break down the gate, and you can get up to the frozen Tritoch but that's it. There was supposed to be some secret room too. I used to have the demo on my webspace but I took it down a while ago. There's not much to see other than a recreation of Narshe without the people, music and battles on your PC.Quote:

I'd be willing to take up the project; that is, if I could get allegro to compile. I'd say I could do it in a couple of months, but that doesn't include ripping graphics. A full-on editor would probably take a good bit longer, but still, it'd be a worthwhile idea.
I think a better idea would be to do what Mak-X suggested, as in a Final Fantasy RPG Maker style program. Not only would that allow for your FF6 (I go by the Japanese titles, since that way I get to play FFIV) remake, but also all of the other FF games (finally allowing someone to redo FFII without that godawful battle system), as well as other similar SNES/Genesis RPGs that I'd like to play again. I'd totally support that.
Um..... gravedigging?
I actually have a lot of the FF6 graphics ripped Deci, as well as most of the in game music. I am tied up in programming right now, but I can easily give you what I have. PM me if you want it
