For the first sequel to Wolf's Quest, I was thinking about doing an FF1 remake! It will include:

#1: Four main characters who have an actual impact on the story.
#2: Ripped graphics.
#3: Ripped music.
#4: A script theat changes the equipment and spells that the heroes use as different classes.
#5: My awful gaming abilities putting it all together!

All you can do is: Reply to this post, delete it from the gamelist(if your an admin.), or ignore me!

I assume you have enough game-making experience to try something so ambitious?

Also, how is a sequel to one of your own games a remake of Final Fantasy 1?

That's easy. After beating the last boss Wolf takes the crystal that was powering the dark lords on his world and flies to the planet the dark lords said it came from. The crystal turns out to be the Earth Crystal. Wolf then meets up with three steriotypical characters based on my friends and they go out to save the world.

This has been done before. Several times. I'm not stopping you from doing it, but I predict people won't even play it.

If I had joined on April First, everone would have thought I was a joke. Most people thought that anyway, or at least at first.

Making a FF1 remake? Hasn't that been done already?

The reason for doing a script is so that I only have to define four heroes. That way, I don't have to write a script later to remove everyone's equipment. It also would be first attempt at anything more than an earthquake or restoring everyone's HP to 1 after battle.

The main characters will be slightly more detailed than "Hi I'm Suzy!" But I can see what you mean.

I have the four main characters:
Wolf(Earth): Can be a Fighter, Red Mage, or White Mage. He can always use the Were Sword.

Boomer(Water): Can be a Fighter, Thief, or Black Belt. He can always use the Coral Sword.

Blade(Wind): Can be a Black Belt, White Mage, or Black Mage. He can always use the Rune Blade.

Ruby(Fire): Is the least involved plotwise. She can be a Thief, Red Mage, or Black Mage. She can always use the Flame Sword. I only added her because:
#1: I needed a girl character.
#2: I needed someone to be the Thief, Red Mage, and and Black Mage.

The classes "OnionKid" and "Summoner" are available to everyone. OnionKids are useless, and Summoners change the ending. Summoners get a huge set of spells that either:
Harm the Party,
Heal the Enemies,
Harm the party WHILE healing the enemies,
Or kill the summoner.
Hence the change to the ending.

This *has* been done before. Not quite the exact same game, but very, very similar.

Doing the heroes job classes would best be done with a script of some sort, as it would also allow you to control the spells they'd get. I'd probably change the names of the classes, to at least give some appearance of originality. I'd also base it off your own game ideas, and not Final Fantasy I (FFIII would be the more popular choice in this community, FYI).

I like how everything that's "wrong" with CP is automatically blamed on PHC.

If this is your first experience with the engine, I suggest you not to plan a game that you think will be "one of OHR's bests". Don't think that your "first big project" will be succesful...

Focus more on Wolfs Quest. Kahn is right......

He never said "one of OHR's bests." On the other hand, FF1 has been remade at least four times for the OHR and your game will not be better than Fenrir's FFH unless you grow genius out of your ear overnight.
