Final Fantasy Legends: Hikari to Yami no Senshi is a completely original game. New world, new characters, new music, all done in the style of 16-bit era Final Fantasy games. It seems to me that this is exactly what you're looking for; the only problem is that nobody outside of Japan can play this game yet. If After Years is any indication, this game will most likely get some kind of port to a more accessible platform. And I did play the After Years and I thought it was just fine. I like the new characters and story, and adding the phases of the moon affecting battle conditions was a nice touch too. You haven't played After Years or Legends, yet you call them "half-baked" and make assumptions about the amount of "effort" put into them. What makes you think that an internet petition is going to get Square Enix to sit down and say, "Guys, we need to put more EFFORT into making a 16-bit Final Fantasy game! We need make sure this game is fully baked!" What makes you think that just because you get 100,000 people to sign your petition, Square Enix is going to make a better game? I didn't want to say this before because it's something everyone says about internet petitions and also what you were petitioning for already existed, but here's the thing: internet petitions don't work, especially not with such a traditionally Japanese company like Square Enix. 20,000 people signed a petition for a Final Fantasy 7 remake and what did they say? "We have no intention at this time." That's an official response made to any inquiry made about unplanned or unannounced projects, and doesn't really have anything to do with a petition or the amount of signatures on one.

It's not an iOS game, it's developed specifically for Japanese cellphones that use the i-mode service. It's already out in Japan too; been out for months. It's basically an episodic release like The After Years except it's totally original and not a sequel to any previous Final Fantasy game, although it does have a job system like FFV.

Right now it's mobile, but I assume SE will eventually port it to something like iPhone or WiiWare or something.

Hey look, your petition worked!

No, thank you.

Yeah, going too far. Take a vacation.

Why is there input lag in a 2D platformer?

Nobody ever got back to me on it, so it looks like it's not happening.

Got a treat for you guys. Here's a full zip of remixes from last year's GRMRB. All of the files have been properly retagged. Enjoy! The Grand Robot Master Remix Battle 2010 [181 MB]

Mixes are up for voting. Get to it.

Brackets are updated. TheGuitahHeroe and prophetik move on to the SEMI-FINAL.

I have all the mixes. Proto Mans are the best.

Try to stay on-topic folks.

Folks, this thread is for recruitment only, not running the project. If you're posting WIPs, please do them in the Workshop.

I do remember that. Johns's current GL treatment in the books is really logical and simple in how it deals with colors aligning with emotions. The Emotional Spectrum is a really smart bit of mythology, and I'm kind of holding on to the slim hope that there's some chance for another GL movie that'll be more focused in that regard. Also I want to see Sinestro in all his yellow glory.

Actually if you've read the current GL stuff, it's still a good movie in that it borrows a lot of things from Geoff Johns's current run, such as green being the color of willpower and yellow being the color of fear. All that stuff about Hal "overcoming fear" is fairly new material, and giving into fear being a weakness is a bit more compelling than "the color yellow."

Fixed it.

I liked it, but then again I'm probably the biggest GL fan on OCR. Wasn't a big fan of Hector Hammond being Parallax-lite, that was a bit off, but overall some great action and great visuals. It's not the most amazing movie in the world, but it really doesn't deserve all the crap it's getting in the reviews. I think its weaknesses are getting magnified by superhero-fatigue and 3D-fatigue. As for the "real" Green Lantern, please don't even start with any of that "why'd they change him to a white guy?" nonsense. First of all, the Green Lanterns are a group; there are 7200 of them, so you could pick anyone and call him or her the "real" Green Lantern. More to the point, Hal Jordan was the first Silver Age style Green Lantern, and he was the Green Lantern of sector 2814 for years before John Stewart appeared in the comics, and he has the simplest and most memorable origin story of all of Earth's Lanterns. John's, Guy's, and Kyle's all come with baggage related to Hal. Don't presume to know what you're talking about just because you've watched Justice League. It's a good show, but it's not definitive by any means.

Agreed. -

The version you submit to OCR should be the final version of that mix.

Mixes are up.

OCRE is correct in not counting votes after 12PM. Voting time periods are clearly laid out, and people are given an entire week to vote. I have four mixes from competitors. Mixes will go up Sunday.

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

IMPORTANT I will be away from my computer for most of the day tomorrow, so I've asked OCRE to tally votes and post results in my absence. Protoman Bracket mixers should look for his post to see their new matchups. Mixes for voting will most likely go up tomorrow much later in the evening when I get home, and I'll update all the official artwork and brackets by Sunday at the latest.
