SP Fantasy The Wutai War, 0.5 Released!

(1st post)

This actually looks amazing, not to be mean, but I have seen many mods that look amazing, and just given up.

I really hope you wont do the same, as I am a huge fan of FF7 and MnB is just an awesome game.

Has Vincent been ****ed up by Chaos yet? I don't remember his storyline very well.

I do not know, his timeline is very unclear, but i think he slumbers during the war.

I realized Scarlet is a man (now fixed) and that i should never have brought Seto up.

Edit: I have renamed the Companions, renamed Horse Merchants into Chocobo Merchants and Guild Masters into Urban Development Managers.
There should no longer be ANY references to old characters.

I like how it's a total conversion.

You (we?) should look into retexturing the map. Give it more of a final fantasy feel.

 

[Sheriff-murder]

Sure, there is a bit few tiles at the moment, but there is a redundant sea texture that we can can redo and make passable.
What we would need is a swamp, grass, a proper (orange-ish) steppe and 2 mountain texture (steppe mountains and normal).

 

[Lord_Vile]

you said the soldier weapons (or many of the ff7 weapons) are ridicoulus large and overpowered

i guess that IS FF7 (sorry for my bad english, i am german ) and it would be great if you add them (masamune for example)

would you add sephiroth as an extremly powerful  soldier ?

 

[Sheriff-murder]

I want to abstain from it as much as possible, i intend however to have Masamune and the Buster sword in.

Here's a few screens with turks in battle:

I feel it is slightly starting to come along.

I'd still suggest having Sephiroth in there as a commander for ShinRa. He was THE main SOLDIER, the famous and slaughteriffic hero at the time. Then he snapped and turned into a homicidal maniac, but during the War he was a hero who everyone idolized.

Maybe if we get his equipment one day.

Anyway, i will probably make Cosmo Canyon an independent faction with the next release.
However, that would leave Wutai and Cosmo Canyon with 1 town each, and ShinRa with 3. I guess i could accommodate for that with more/better units though.
I was thinking of something like this:
ShinRa has the upper hand due to technology, while Wutai has the numbers.
Cosmo Canyon survives due to dedicated and powerful, yet few defenders.

oooooooooommmmg chocobos you legend l love you

Turks look brilliant in those screens. Need to get me some graphical enhancements, because I expect the same scenario would look ****e on my game.

 

[captain lust]

yeah the turks look awesome, sheriff.

 

[Sheriff-murder]

I finally managed to get UV mapping going.
That means i finally will get some textures for the map icons.
Although i still suck at texturing. But at least it's better than how they currently are.

 

[Nadeskeez]

Wow this is ****ing awesome! I am so happy I stumbled upon this. I am really hoping however that you include SOLDIER in this. Along with the way they can rank up, 3rd class 2nd 1st, etc... You should also include just simple Shinra infantry.

 

[Sheriff-murder]

Already have, still need to make their equipment though.

To be honest, the boots/pants issue with the turks are hardly noticeable.

 

[Nadeskeez]

awesome man, i'm so excited for this. I wish there was something I could do to contribute, but I don't really have that much experience with this kind of stuff. All I have is ideas, thats about it.

 

[Sheriff-murder]

Ok, i've started retexturing the map icons.

I just finished Fort Condor, and i am quite pleased with the result:

Note: The screenshot is taken from a laptop without GE and fairly low settings.

 

[thick1988]

Whats a chocobo? 

 

[Sheriff-murder]

A bird mount, most commonly yellow.

 

[The Mercenary]

Turks look great. Don't forget to create unique faces for them (you already know).

 

[Sheriff-murder]

Junon's complete:

Fort Condor became a little too bright (new screenshot in OP), gonna darken it.
