Technically it's not a fan game, it is a generic 2D game and rpg engine written in c++ that, in the very least, is capable of generating an rpg game in the style of FF1 with little effort. It just so happens I'm using the copyrighted sprites and other assets for learning, testing, and other educational purposes. I am also not selling or distributing them, and if we manage to make significant progress on it then I can just swap out any placeholder art for original.

It's also fun. (Most of the time)
