Post by: jameswhite89 on May 28, 2011, 05:17:55 PM
Figured id make some of the enemies from final fantasy 8 in battler form.. If you guys want a specific monster let me know nd ill get on it.

Gonna try and make em all at some point, bare with me on it.

Btw, recentley i came across a good site for ff8 music... they even have the man with the gun :-O
Bluelaguna.net awsomeness unleashed lol

[Demo] Upgraded to include an evented draw system, Evented Attack and defense elemental junctions, Status defense junction, Magic refining, Final fantasy 8 icons, Command junction with Mug, Treatment, Darkside and more, Plus ability junctions and scan update, steals, added Gfs (Ifrit) (Diablos) (Geezard King) (Quezacotl) (Shiva) (Siren), And now includes
Squall, Zell, Irvine, Selphie, Quistis, Rinoa, Seifer, Edea, Laguna, Kiros, Ward,
Rajin, Fujin, Ultimecia, Headmaster Cid
Pain added, Gfs now must gain ap to master junction skills
And updated monster and actor stats to match the original, bare in mind skills still need tweaking tho
Think of it as the final fantasy Viii Veldt... it is slowly taking shape :)

Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 90%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 02, 2011, 01:53:43 PM
These, to be honest quite Shocked me, At first i was expecting some Ripped images directly from the game, So Kudos to you.

My only irk is the fact that Ifrit and Diablos  are not in the battle Stance that they where in the FF8 game, Not a big deal, Would be nice to see them in that stance, along with this  is  think ifrits hands doesn't suit being Clenched up, mainly if i remember correctly he had large claws

other than them Minor (they are minor considering the amount of time that would Require to create a FF8 sprite in the style that you're doing) details They're Brilliant

Post by: Lord Von kain on June 02, 2011, 03:23:00 PM
i think Ifrit skin is fine, but rather his mane is too dark. i understand the reason why you might not do the exact stance as well, As for the resolution it seem  fine to me, all of the exact shading and colour wise,

Just a curious Future question, Would you be doing the Hero's at a later date? (i.e Squall Zell etc)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 90%]
Post by: Holkeye on June 02, 2011, 05:08:07 PM
Elvoret is the best so far.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 90%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 02, 2011, 05:13:32 PM
Lord Von kain: Yeah sure they are planned as a bonus when i finish making all of the battlers in the game, Bonus will be added then.. but im keeping hush hush about whos gonna make it into that.. lol

And thanks Holkami :) I lthink its X-ATM092
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 02, 2011, 09:17:44 PM
Personally, i think the Soldiers AND the X-ATM092 are the best,


and that Fake president is really Good, But if you're doing Dollet Up to the fake president then you're missing wendigo's  (dunno how they're Spelt) and the mummy head + the left hand and right hand and a few other monsters i believe,


EDIT : Just seen that you took out the Dollet and balama Part out (again forgot the spellings xD i love how FF games have such hard spellings :/)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 02, 2011, 09:23:52 PM
Nope, you only encounter those monsters after you leave timber city, While in dollet you fight the guards and geezards and anaconders, then the bosses, Then cinematic, then you get the timber mission from cid and are sent to timber, where the next enocounter is the fake president and gerogero, then you have to go to timber tv station once thats done your free to explore the continent, the wendigos are in the mountains near deilng and the hands and mummy guy 2

Edit: And yh i think i took em out cause it was getting confusing cause theres more than 10 monsters on some levels
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 02, 2011, 09:28:35 PM
ah yes, It been a long time since i played it, xD

Post by: jameswhite89 on June 02, 2011, 09:32:58 PM
not me, its on my psx emulator, finished it the other day 4 the eighth time.. Finishing party was Squall, Kiros and Seifer.. found a program called griever which lets you edit your saved data and change characters... booya lol.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 02, 2011, 09:36:52 PM
i'm aware of that program, i attempted to replace squall with Seifer xD

didn't work out well,

Just a curious, But do you use anything  to help with creating these sprites? like tracing around the 3D model then shading it in etc.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 02, 2011, 09:42:02 PM
Yh thats because squall cant be moved.. not even with laguna.. slighty wounding..
Nope, the program i use is GIMP 2.0 and they are all drawn from scratch, usually taking about 3-4 hours,
I have an A level in art so drawing is kinda one of my things lol
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 02, 2011, 09:59:27 PM
ah i see,   and it did work, just after i save and reload it become Squall again.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%]

Thats weird.. never had that problem... but whenever i used the garden to go anywhere the party selection menu before you get to fly it usually reverts it on mine... Ragnarock all the way lol

Post by: Lord Von kain on June 05, 2011, 11:01:16 AM
Aye, FF8 i believe is the only FF game that has one monster that is a recolour, (not counting the soldiers obviously)


also the new three Looks Awesome,
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%, Pack 3 30%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 05, 2011, 03:48:31 PM
actually theres a few recolours, Elnoyle is a recolour of elvoret, red giant is a recolour of iron giant, catobleabas is a recolour of behemoth an the propergators have 4 different colour variants, also omega weapon is very similar to ultima weapon, but yh this game had the lest amout of recolours 4 sure
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%, Pack 3 50%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 05, 2011, 11:38:18 PM
i'm sure the iron giant and red giant have a few minor changes, The Catobleasbas i'm Sure it was bigger as well as one of the horns slightly damage, But again it was a long time i forget these things,


just curious, what are you planning to do after you done all/most of the FF8 monsters/bosses?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1, 100% Pack 2, 100%, Pack 3 50%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 06, 2011, 01:01:50 AM
Yh they are quite mior tho, mainly patterns on them, which is much better than a simple recolour i guess..

No idea atm.. rekon itl be at least three odd months till that happens lol.. Maybe ill have a crack at 10's monsters..
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 10%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 08, 2011, 10:17:18 PM
I have a demo ready for upload only thing is i really want to use Dargors Junction script, unfortunatley i have no idea how it works any 1 able to help?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 10%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 12, 2011, 09:52:35 AM
Again, more very well done sprites, However the Ester (think it spelt like that) Soldier,  axegunsword thingy seems a bit too small.

Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 10%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 12, 2011, 11:04:31 AM
Esther*  I think its about right tbh, Sizing them is kinda tricky, i see what you mean tho, its a simple update and ill get on it soon, think im done with the demo for now untill i get making some more battlers, Btw every 1 please check the demo out :)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 10%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 13, 2011, 01:24:11 PM
well, i played the demo a bit, I have noticed a problem with  the Drawing, I.e Squall zell and irivne in party, all use Draw cast, Squall does all of the casting, But if i draw cast cure, Only Zell and irivne get cured,

Anyway, Just curious, Would you do any Request out of a FF game?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 10%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 13, 2011, 07:45:54 PM
Yh i probs shulda mentioned that, soz.. it was either actor index 1 or all actors.. and that would suck.. couldnt find anyway round it lol, so if any 1 has any ideas let me know,

I might do, if the request in question peaks my intrest ;)
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 40%]

well i'm not sure if it will, But

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x130/sir-metaknight/sword.jpg


Anyway, Nice new GF's however they don't seem to mix with the existing onces, Then again it might help if you tell us a bit about the backgrounds

(Talos to me seem the most suited since Talos is a Mythical beast/tale In greece of a Giant Bronze Man which mix in with the rest of the GF's since they're ethier  from myths or are gods.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 60%]
Post by: jameswhite89 on June 15, 2011, 06:11:26 PM
im not sure thats from final fantasy.. ill only do final fantasy battlers.  Chronos was also from myth tho, he was a god of time before the titans were overthrown by the gods of olimpus
the wikepideda also says he is often depicted as and old man with wings.. Nd geexard king fits i think.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 60%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 15, 2011, 06:20:44 PM
ah, I thought you mean any request, Then How about Kefka? =P

And That somthing new to me about Chronos Lol,

however about the other one, It not really.

Tonberrys and Cacutars are Long time recurring enemies, Just like Gilgamesh (but he was a GF in FF8)

and Tonberrys are known for being Deadly (mainly Due to Karma / everyone Grudge and the infamous DOINK!) and Cacutars are known for being rare to fight, and kill, as well as the fact they contain good EXP / Gil rate.

Post by: jameswhite89 on June 15, 2011, 06:33:52 PM
Yh well i figured id make a geezard gf.. because those are already gfs in this game, i could have selected a monster like arhiman than appears in most of the final fantasys but i wanted to make a geezard cause i think there cool looking i guess.. I know his battler graphic is a bit blured but other than that i like it. Yh ill make a kefka for ya... what form we talkin here?
Title: Re: Final Fantasy 8 Monsters [Pack 1-3 100%, Pack 4 60%]
Post by: Lord Von kain on June 15, 2011, 06:56:37 PM
I dunno to be honest, I would say in his "god" form. i.e his last form

I am curious to see how  you do create it considering it's orginial a 32 Bit graphic.

Oh now that is awesome,

Mind if i ask for another Request? (in advance for yes, the FF1 Chaos in both his Stance as a sprite and how he looked in Dissidia)

also i believe the Mandrake look more like a plant with roots for feet  and no arms,

Orginal FF1 it aws yellow,  PSP remake was yellow brownish, And the GBA remake was Brown grey.

That is a very well down chaos xD, Congrats

However i have notice that these monsters don't exactly... mix in with the orginal RTP images themself,

Do you think you could make them more Grainier? i mean after you create the pack, just do a grainated version of each image/ a few images?
