Final Fantasy Classic?

Gleeok, have you started yet? I have an OpenGL/SDL 2D implementation for a game engine that I started. It's just graphics and sprite rendering, but it might give you an initial boost. It's in C++.

I remember my days experimenting with SDL. Aren't all the cool kids these days using C# with XNA?

BTW, @ctrl-alt-delete, I hate to say it with regard to someone else's trademark, but name-brand recognition is very important to building a community around something. I wonder if we'd even be here having this little discussion if @Phantom Menace decided to call ZC Elf Story or Princess Quest or some such.
