Newgrounds ROM Hack 2003-10-05 22:47:57 Reply

Well in case anyone hasn't notice, I've come back to the NG community. But I'm not coming back to make any more Flash movies and games... I've found a better profession of ROM hacking but unfortunately I haven't released any hacks yet.

Anyways, this is what I have planned for everyone. I want to make a ROM hack of Final Fantasy VI (3 for those who're pure American hicks) that mixes it together with Newgrounds.com. The title of the game: Final Save. Click the link to see what I've changed and been able to stick on a webpage.

Everything's going to be replaced, and the storyline is going to follow along like FF6's. Newgrounds is the world... the 3MP1R3 led by Wade Fulp tries to use their Flash-equipped army to take it over. Doesn't make much sense, does it? I'll try making it as realistic as possible, but I doubt it's going to come close.

As for character / enemy / Esper replacements, I only got 20-some people into the game so far... anyone who wants to be in the game can just post what spot they want to be in or email me with details.

Another issue is ALLPRO who I have to replace GAU. I have no way of contacting this guy, so if you read this, pro... Just AIM or email me. Otherwise, I might have to find another replacement.

Lastly, I know this is unlikely because of possible lawsuits from Nintendo and Squaresoft, but I still need to ask. Tom or Wade, you think you'll be able to host the ROM on Newgrounds or am I going to have to circulate it through Kazaa?

That looks really cool so far. If there is anything that I can do to help, let me know!

Otherwise the only thing I ask is that you name some gun/cannon/etc enemy PHALLIC TURRET. That would be groovy.

not that you'll probably put me in it, but if I'm in it, I'd have to be an enemy of allpro's. Like the boss of the veldt? Put me in as asdfsdfg, that's who I am when I'm not MM_. I suppose Cyan is taken (just looked it up - that's the character you chose for yourself!!)? Cos that'd suit. Cos I kind of run with allpro, but I hate his guts. Well, not really, but he infuriates me and I get self righteous about it. The gau/cyan relationship is probably pretty accurate to me and allpro. Uhm... this post has somehow become about me, and not your game. I r teh suck. oh well this is what I think you should do (if you are going to listen to me that is)

thisisasignin for setzer? that actually works on several levels right thurr... see and was it ruby his dead friend? you could change that for beeonkah. omfg it fits. except beeonkah isn't dead - she's just been mia for a week.
emerald tokyo is a bit old now? as in I don't think I have seen her around for months and months... lipsoflaura could be funny for relm, then you could put heinous dude as strago. nice little in joke right thurr... (who really cares about sirevil :-o )
Yeah, put bigmanbrainy as umaro. I'm not sure if that's what you already meant by bigman? tanner could fit as well? I always think of tanner as big and... stuff...
You have to have shrapnel in there somewhere. maybe he'd fit for arvis/old man. I can't actually remember which character that is in the game though.
if you were gonna put olskoo in, put him in as a monster that always appears with another type of monster - xbox. omfg.
other suggestions - I could think of some, but then you'll probably work it all out.

Actually, ignore everything I said just now... I am an idiot.

Hey, if newgrounds can't do it you might want to check out www.I-mockery.com they do reviews on hacked roms and host them sometimes. I'm not to familiar with the site myself, but might be worth checking out.

Tots, we gotta talk about the script and what not...I'll start working on it, as much as I can between classes and such.

I've got a few ideas, here and there.

Holy shit!!! FF6 was my all time favorite Final Fantasy! Could you put me in as a boss or a summon? Something that has a Godless overtone to it?

There's only 1-2 two sites left that actually let you download anything, but they've been hit with all these threats for lawsuits and stuff that they had to take popular ROMs down... so you have to either be very lucky to see them on any site or get them from your friends.
