Eyup, it'll avoid spamming the topic with dozens and dozens of pictures but don't hesitate to posr your best mockups there too.

I have split the ROL4 graphics that I posted earlier into a different thread for now since I am spending quite a lot of time updating them so I don't want to hijack this thread

What if Doors CSE Celtic commands didn't override custom DovahCalc fonts and that DovahCalc supported custom fonts? This is what First Fantasy would look like:

Ooooh how about the village on fire? You could use the sprite that you originally wanted (or maybe even quicker animation).

I would use flame sprites for it. For the title screen logo I would probably use three different flames at least. The characters that would be replaced would most likely be the ones in VARS->Statistics . Of course this idea would not work if the font must remain in RAM, though.

Whoa that would be awesome! FFMF Skyrim crossover?

Erm not Skyrim. Not even close in fact, considering my games are more JRPG than Western RPG. But I guess it would bridge the gap between graphics of Mana Force and possible future First Fantasy games that would be entirely graphical.

True, though i'd be still funny. Add a new optopn to the store with "shouts" you can use in battle

What are shouts? Also I bet someonee will request arrow in the knee quotes now

Shouts (or "words of power")  are words in the dovah language one can master with very long training, though the dragonborn van learn them very easily, because he is a mortal with the soul of a dragon. In skyrim you play as a dragonborn, and thus you can learn various shouts. You can learn shouts to push things, burn things, view ebemys through walls and much more.

Aah I see. Do you have to learn the entire language literally too?

No, the game keeps track of which words you learned. Thats more of a fan thing :p

Ooh ok I see now lol. This reminds me Final Fantasy II for the NES/Famicom where you could learn certain key words then ask NPCs about them. It was much more primitive, but when I first played the game I was shocked that this feature was in it, since most FF games afterward didn't have it.

On a side note, I should really do mockups of what FF:MF could look like on the HP Prime. I am tempted to just re-use the same tiles as my mockups above, but with extra colors and some slight changes such as the bottom of the doors. Or I could also add an ASCII art mode. In any case, the menu borders would be different.

Man, DJ, you should talk to Kerm about getting those font hooks to work with the next version of Celtic.

Yeah that'd be awesome :3
