I made this game back in 2004, but I only released it recently as I was holding back because peoples stance has changed a lot over the years regarding fan games.
Note: THIS WAS MY FIRST RM2K3 GAME!! [url="http://vanadiaproject.blogspot.com/"]Legend of Vanadia[/url] is my second.
The required specs to play this game are as follows:
Processor: Pentium 4 3.0 GHz or higher
RAM: 500MB or higher
Video Memory: 64MB or higher
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Midi Synthesizer: Microsoft Wavetable GS
If your processor is any lower, then CHANCES are your PC doesn't have the required speed to calculate the midi catchup codes, and your PC might hang at certain points. Again, it'd not that it WILL happen, just that it COULD.
STORY
A mysterious cave which was located on the furthest reaches of the world. The very mention of the cave
sparked the interest of every adventurer, every scientist, and every archeologist. However, the cave refused
to accept visitors, for nobody ever came back. Except for one man who did. A man who came back blind and
deaf, but able to speak, carrying a message...
Beware the man with the eye
and the voice
of God.
Immediately, the appearance of four "Crystal Towers" ended the "Whispering Cave" era. Until two friends
decided to go to the place now called...
The Paradise of God
They know that a tough journey lies ahead of them. They don't know how they will get there. Yet they are
willing to discover the secrets. The answers all lie within. And the only way to find out.....is to go.

SYSTEMS
Steal System - Basically most FF's
Scan - Good ol' scan
Throw System - Throw whatever you want! (Except key items)
Bushido System - FFX Style, WITH timers IN the DBS
Limit Break System - FF7 Style, More dammage = Faster filling bars
Summon - Final Fantasy X style - With summon intros and limits.
Gil Toss System - Like FF5
Blue Magic - Kinda like FF9
Kamikaze System - FF8 Style, and last but not least
OMNISLASH! - Yes, it's exactly like FF7. EXACTLY.
And finally, a custom made music track for bossfights composed by me and my cousin bro.
IN CONCLUSION
So you see, my main mission was not to make FF Fangame NO#58421, but rather to make a
game as close as possible to the real (SNES) thing using the best from all systems.
(To date I have never seen a fan game using all of this, maybe there are?)
I could have used other characters but then, Cloud was my favorite and I'll stick with him.
People I forgot to thank in the credits
Elkalo. Dude, thanks for the last forest maps man, you saved me tons of trouble :P
Morency. For being an awesome beta tester!
If your game lags at the worldmap, open the menu ingame, go to Options>Miscellaneous>"No Rain Mode" then turn it off. (I know i labeled it wrong but thats what you have to turn off and the worldmap wont lag)
I apologize again, but I never encountered these lags/lockups so I never knew they existed. this is a patch for some people that said it lags at the chief's house in the first village.

J'aime mapper mais je sais pas mapper ...
Waw! This game looks very great! I can see you have worked a lot on it! I'm downloading, I'll tell you my opinion... when I have time beccause I will work on my game first.
But I think your game is great!;)

I saw Dead Fantasy too... It looks like a FF movie, it's very great!
Edit: Yes, it's great as I thought! Congratulations!!! But there are a lot of battles, and it's annoying when there is one each 5 steps...

Ok i have tester, almost 1hour of playing at 3h am xD (no comment).
I feel really sorry for your beta tester. A lot of bug block me and don t give me the strengh to continue.
_You warned it at the beginning about the CMS, if it s blocked enter in a inn and it s ok. Well i m in the middle of a dungeon and i have gather some HP recovery and armor pièce but i can t equip or use anything at all.
_During some fight cloud or squall stay lock on place till the over is ready for action....very strange.
_Pehaps it s me but i don t see any cursor to select in shop or menu. I see it on the CMS but in the main system, there are no cursor.
_I lag a lot on the world map, 10sec to make one step..awfull. I have a good PC and a lot of maker's game who people lag, don t make me lag, so it s strange.
_I love the idear to use SNES graph or atmosphere but it s pretty strange here. Characters are 1/8 of the wall (don t know how turn this sentences). Mapping are empty, there are nothing on the map, it s look like a nes game (zelda the first ).
_The scenario don t give the feeling to continue, maybie it s cool after but the start is boring.
i think you have to rework on the bug and mapping. Try to keep in mind FF6. It s kinda close to what you doing. You can do really a good game it s too bad to make the thing half.
Happy new year aten.

Thats strange, because in the editor it is set 1 battle every 25-30 steps, it can't be every 5 steps.

yes, i put the warning there, but in reality, i have never encountered any CMS error where you can't open it.

I can't help this, it is a bug with the rpgmaker DBS, but i find it really interesting to fight like that!

wow, if so, maybe you need to go to "Options", then "Change Frames" and it should reset. This is a interesting find because it never happened to me.

Ok, i'm using a code on the world map, after every battle, it brings the song playing in the world map back to the position it was before you enter a battle. (normally rpgmaker reset the song so it plays from the start) if this is still a problem and you are still want to continue playing the game, I can provide you a patch that removes that code. (song will no longer play from last position, it will reset)

In the data base, that means " a number randomly picked between 1 to 25 ( or 30, or XXX ) steps"
So, you could eventually be involved in a fight each 2 or 4 steps if you are really unlucky. ( I guess that means "almost everyone" )
Actually, thats not true
according to the help file, its like this;
Citation:
[Encounter Rate] The minimum number of steps needed to initiate an encounter. For example, if the value was 20, the probability of a battle would increase every step, until you reached 20 steps, when a battle would occur. If this value is set to 0, you will never get into a battle.
I have been using rpgmaker a long time (like i said this game is from 2004) but I have NEVER got in a battle like every 2, 3, or 4 steps when it is set to be 25 or 30 etc.
Anyway, later you can get an item to reduce the encounter even further so its worth looking out for. And on the worldmap, you can just use a Chocobo and skip battles.

I added a new download. If the world map lags for you, open the menu ingame, go to Options>Miscellaneous>"No Rain Mode" then turn it off. (I know i labeled it wrong but thats what you have to turn off and the worldmap wont lag)
The required specs to play this game are as follows:
Processor: Pentium 4 3.0 GHz or higher
RAM: 500MB or higher
Video Memory: 64MB or higher
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Midi Synthesizer: Microsoft Wavetable GS
If your processor is ANY LOWER, then you PC doesnt have the required speed to calculate the midi catchup codes, and that is why your PC seems to hang at those points in the game and the world map.

I only played it until the defeat of the second Minotaur and it's very fun so far.
-Really "innocent" story, good music, good dialogues, good scenes (Here in France we have either "serious boring game" or "fun meaningless game", it's good to play something like your game).
-The maps are *really* ugly.... but they are rich (hidden passages and lot of events).
-I hate random encounter... but in this game the fights are well equilibrated (not too boring, the minotaurs are not too simple or too hard).
-Some minors bugs but nothing that keeps you from playing.
Suggestions :
-Why did you use Final Fantasy character ? Exactly the same game with original characters will have been better IMO.
-Some things such as battle effects or charset are ugly, you could have work it more :
Empty map :
"Two colours" effect : Use some gradient !
(More comments to come.)
***
Anyway, I really looks forward to your next game.

Thank you I appericiate the comment very very much! I have one comment as well, on that one you say "empty map" it is empty because you "Race" there, so of course it has to be empty!
and the second one , that water effect I got it like that from the RTP! I didn't bother to change it I just use it as is!
I used final fantasy character because back at that time (2003-2004) it was really popular to make Fan Games, so this was mine. But I agree, maybe one day I will remake thsi game with original characters

About the mapping, for future games :

I got it. It looks empty mainly because it's always the same tile of grass.
You could have used a bit of a different grass or even better had scratch of earth (to show the playground was used by all the people) to "fill" the map. Or high grass near the fence at right and left.
Maybe put a chair next to the guy. And poles with flags saying "Big Race Game !" or some stuff like that.
