    Sounds like the best way to go about something like this is to make it open source from the very start. This should benefit everyone involved the most I think.

    As for using a trademark name like "Final Fantasy" in the title, I'm not too worried about it for the following reasons:
    A) It never gets finished so nobody cares.
    B) It gets finished in which case a C&D is too late at this point. The general rpg engine code does not violate any laws any more than someone creating a FF clone in game maker does. (I certainly will absolutely NOT be putting any copyrighted or IP into the main project.) As far as I'm concerned it's just a fan project that uses a custom game engine.
    C) I forgot what I was going to say...needs sleep now.

    Well, you could push it with the 'Final Fantasy Classic' title, and upon receiving a cease and desist just alter the name to 'Terminal Epic Classic'. All the free advertising of the brand with none of the back-splash.

    And I'll be taking my raincoat to the dry cleaners now, Tim. You owe me $4.

    Achievements It's over 9000!
    Go into stealth mode, and when it's completely done release it as "Super Final Fantasy McChrono Trigger Pants Featuring Square Enix IP", then open source it and put up a torrent and go into hiding.

    As somebody who has worked on countless RPG Maker projects - I can't help but notice that this has been done. I've played perfect replicas of FF1, 2, 3, and 5 on RPG Maker VX alone.

    I honestly have a much easier time working with those programs over Zelda Classic, but it's very different. Mapping out stats/weaknesses/immunities/etc for each and every enemy, then determining enemy parties, then determining each block that has the chance to encounter that enemy party. Not to mention stats and formulas for each spell; their elemental properties, their MP cost, etc. A LOT of numbers games - everything has tons of variables. Imagine putting together the battle scene - each characters locations, movements, animations, and status.

    Now I don't want to be misunderstood - I am down with the idea, and I will make a fucking sick ass quest with this program, but I think the idea that it will be as intuitive as ZQuest is rather misleading.

    I didn't know that. The only FF replicas on RPG Maker I've seen have been IV. Do you have links to any others - say, 1, or 5?

    Yes, there is tons of data involved in making an RPG. I'm aware of this. I'm sure that data editing will be very primitive at first also.

    I'm not trying to discourage you from going through with this. Like I said, I would dump lots of time into it. I wish AGN had more active projects, like whatever happened to the Galaga scene?

    I'll snoop around on some older harddrives. I should still have the FF5VX. There added more jobs too (I remember Dark Knight was in this version).
