Very much agreed there -- every game has some who don't like it, and that's just how everyone has different tastes.  

For my part, personally, I didn't like FF12 largely because I felt like Vaan was unappreciated. Ashe struck me as being stuck-up. About the nicest thing she ever said to him was "don't interrupt me, Vaan." To quote Link from the 1980s Zelda cartoon, "excuuuuuuuuse me, princess." And then they saved the world and went their separate ways and nobody really seemed to care. I'm sure I'm remembering a few things incorrectly, because after I beat it once, I never played it again. I was just like "welp, that just happened. Umm so let's play something else."

Hey guys, so I've got a CuteLucca piece that is missing from Chrono Compendium's collection... I tried to make an account with them but the confirmation email isn't coming through, and isn't in my spam folder.

So whatever. *shrug* I don't have time for it right now. 

If any of you folks have an account there, would you let them know I have the original painting of Schala? I'll have it scanned soon, but for temporary reference, here's a photo of it.

Wow, if you say so. Sure that wasn't my twin?

As to sarcasm...emoticons really help with conveying it, but yeah, even with those you have to make it extra clear when you're joking. I've learned that the hard way!

*comes out of nowhere*

Happy 10th anniversary, Vizzed Board! :O Davideo7, I'm terribly offended that my banner isn't still at the top after 10 long years. Just kidding. Dude, I'm glad that you liked it so much. I'm impressed that the database is still intact after 10 years too. Pretty slick.

I just looked back at my last posts for old times' sake, and uh...wow. I don't even remember that stuff I was going on about with the videogame business. Whatever it was must have been a long time ago and I was probably making it sound like a bigger thing than it was. 

Anyway, yeah, I made the original Vizzed Board banner, and that's...probably about all I ever did here! LOL. Hope everyone's doing well, and that everybody had a merry Christmas. Blessings!

Nice... I went and reposted what I had said in the videogames forum, and that was my 1000th post!

Okay, it would be insanely easy to just go find some FF6 sprites. But I'd like to see some IMPROVED FF6 sprites! Just gonna stick 'em into RMXP, so use that format preferably.

Take Terra, for example. A sprite that's perhaps slightly larger (in the low-to-mid-40s on pixel height) than the original, with a greater depth of color and detail, using the full range of colors that may be available to you, rather than the very limited color range of the original. You know, just smoother, more polished. Improved.

I'm working on one myself, by modding some RMXP sprites, but since I seem to remember that people here seemed to enjoy RPG Maker, I thought I'd bring it up here too.

Not just a Terra spritesheet. Any of the FF6 characters. Bonus if you have 8-directional sprites and not just 4!

I didn't realize how many I had either! Good to be back for a bit.

And no, I didn't need to go to game design school. The truth is, no school can really teach you this stuff. The technical stuff, sure. But what I do is the creative side (thank God) and no school can teach you that. It's just having an eye for what's out there already, and how you can make it better. Some technical stuff is required even in the most creative-centered positions, though, and I do know enough about general programming logic and flow to do what I need to do. As I've heard said before: the way to break in isn't necessarily to have the best education on the market, though that sure won't hurt. The best way is to do what you love to do (ie, designing game ideas), and do it so well that people start paying you to do it.

In my case, some people at this little company noticed that I have had numerous ideas that I've talked about with a friend of mine there for what different companies should do with upcoming releases, and inadvertently, those releases contained concepts very similar to mine. So it's sort of proof that I'm on the right wavelength. Metroid Prime 3 had about 4 different concepts in it that I had thought up, but only shared with my friend there. He didn't tell anyone, but after Prime 3 came out, we both noticed the similarities between what I had thought of and what they had put out. It's happened also with Kingdom Hearts and a few others, so I guess the company took notice.

Sorry for stealing your thunder, John. Welcome back to you too!

Well, I'm gonna head over to the game making forum for a few minutes. Just doing a little personal fan project in my spare time, and I'd like to get some sprites made. Maybe someone over there will volunteer to help out, LOL

EDIT: So it turns out there is no game making forum anymore...did I just make that up??? Oh well. I'll stick it in the Video Games forum.

You just DID hear SOMETHING of her. She's pregnant. I guess...that's ALL she does? LOL

How's it going? I'm baaaaaack...for the moment at least.

Life has been wild and awesome and scary all at the same time! Who would have thought that writing about an angel and liking video games would lead me into such great stuff?!

I've learned a lot...a *LOT*...about the gaming industry and some of its companies, as circumstances have had me kinda spiraling upward into the game making world as a designer. I'm currently in talks with a recently started game company about being a designer/director for an RPG they are making.

But the knowledge of how so many of these companies work...it's quite amazing. It's the kind of stuff that involved non-disclosure agreements with certain very very lofty companies and learning about the stuff they're planning to release in the next, like, ten years. Company trade secrets of one of the top dogs in the industry! Wheeeee! But of course, if I say any more, I'll get sued or worse. Suffice it to say, things have been crazy but awesome lately.

I see life goes on at the Vizzed Board just as it always has. I see a few members I recall from before, too. I hope all is well with you.

I'd better go... I'm technically still working. Have a merry Christmas!

My Internet was acting up so I lost this nice big reply I had typed up for you.

The gist is, there's a lot going on behind the scenes that you CAN'T see, just not much going on where you CAN see. Signatures are slow (in fact I haven't gotten any in awhile), so we're working on a cooperative effort, merging our site with that of the Chrono Trigger Novel Petition... Petitions will remain separate, but sites will be combined so that they will benefit from our viewers and vice versa.

We're also working on ideas and strategies to motivate fans to take the time to sign and mail (laziness has been a big obstacle here), as well as ideas on how to reach people who used to be Chrono Trigger fans but have moved on and forgotten the game... Thus, they're not going to be searching for Chrono Trigger sites or Chrono Trigger Remake stuff...so how to reach them?

Those are the things going on behind the scenes right now. We still are optimistic that the goal Square set is attainable, but only with the right methods.

*closes*

Jack didn't invite Colonel Sanders to the fight. Sucks to be the colonel, I guess.

And I'm thinkin' KO.

By giving it some nice support in the article, I think.

Or if anybody actually feels like reading Wikipedia's 300 pages of rules, that might help too...heh.

Angel Arm? Only an arm? Sucks to be Vash then. And Diablo/Devil mode? C'mon, Jullinar eats devils for breakfast.

OK, maybe we should fight in the Sim Battle Arena... Or rather not US, but Vash and Jullinar. Have to make clear what each character's abilities are first though, blah blah blah.

Double KO.

Double? Yeah, that's expected since there are 3 fighters, DUDE! So who wins? C'mon, don't be a lamer.

Did you forget we're talking about an angel? Pretty freaking strong body...plus armor...and not just the kind of armor you could find on earth, but supernaturally powerful armor.

Plus the sword.

Plus the two wings that can crush your skull if they hit you right.

Anyway, Wikipedia?

On Jack's MySpace, he says he'd like to have a no-holds-barred caged match against Ronald McDonald and the Burger King...winner takes all the franchises of the losers.

So who would win?

Yeah but look at the guy on your background...Is his name Michael? Noooooooooooo... I don't think "Vash" is a leader of the angels of heaven

Thanks for the props...Prop.

What do y'all think about the Wikipedia stuff?

LOL, I swear, one o these days there's gonna be a Wikipedia article on ME. (And not made by me, either!)

Just addressed that issue, Vash.
