I wish I could get excited about FF4 Easytype--I love FF4--but the game must be so damn easy. If my understanding is correct, it's even easier than the US release, right? So, on a scale of one to ten, one being mind-numbingly easy and ten being... uh... really hard(?), where would it fall?
Sorry if that was rude at all.

It's okay. Yeah, ET is pretty much what it says, easy. I can run through the game doing nothing but attacking from the beginning until Octomammoth with little to no trouble (of course, I'd have no MP by that time, having used it all for healing, but still.) Well, would you be more excited if I said that when I was done, I plan on putting everything I do into normal FFIV, hoping to have a patch that rivals if not bests j2e's? =D ~DS |

Very much so!  I haven't played j2e's, so that's pretty much irrelevent to me, but you're doing some awesome shit with this project. Is it just me, or has FF4 been rebalanced every time it was released? The original, US version, Easytype, PSX version (which I hear is insane but not as hard as the original), GBA... EDIT: forgot about Rhys's post for a minute.  I've been doing some font work today on my engine, what do people think of the new fonts?
The 'New Thin Main Font' looks really decent. If this is a choice between the two I'd definitely say the thin one. Although the regular one would probably look 100% better if you fixed the 'a'. Also, I think the 'I' looks lowercase in its present state. |

I really didn't want to let the cat out of the bag on that, but I also don't like the fact that I think most people are going "Oh, it's just FFIV: ET, I don't care.", but that's the general plan.
Yeah, FFIV got rebalanced just about every time. I stopped keeping track. >.>

I believe every version has been rebalanced. AFAIK, Easy Type is easiest and the DS remake is hardest.
But I haven't played Easy Type or WonderSwan myself.

I'm trying to stick to the original style as far as the font goes, although I do agree the 'a' needs changing, I'll just make it not so tall, I don't know why they made it so big in the original font.
The extra thin font I'm using for all of the menus and in-battle text, and the other variable width font will be for the rest of the text.

So, on a scale of one to ten, one being mind-numbingly easy and ten being... uh... really hard(?), where would it fall? I'd say it's about equal with the US release until the moon, where it suddenly shifts towards being much harder. There are a few things that make it easier and some equipment rebalancing/replacement for the better. |

Finally got my item menu working really nicely, and I've further revised the original background graphics to squeeze out some more space so that I don't have to truncate any item names, as you can see even with the compact font I'm still just barely fitting in that item name.  Luckily it's the longest item name in the game, so I don't need to adjust the graphics further. I had to move that BIT graphic further right, but thankfully I had loads of extra room for the actual BIT value so this fit in nice and snugly, and I actually prefer it to the way it looked originally, and it gave me the 6 or 7 extra pixels of room I needed to display full item names. |

Sigh, I'm so jealous of LCD systems. Being able to go right to the edges of the screen like that.
I always have a ~8-24 pixel window on all four corners I'm not allowed to touch :(
Worse yet, my particular TV is so bad, it cuts of nearly 32 pixels on the left, but shows part of the retrace on the right. Ugh.

Digimon! Which one is this one? I'm betting everything that its for the WSC. |

Originally WSC, now Windows  I'm glad I managed to fool someone into thinking it was on the original console, it means I'm doing well reproducing the games |

More FFIV goodness! First, for those of you who might not remember what it looked like:  This is what the Status menu looked like, after I expanded the class names. Now, this is what it looks like:  Now everything's as good as it gets for now with that menu. Also note, I did something j2e couldn't (or didn't?) do: "Level" is a part of the Status menu again. :woot!: ~DS |

Just a minor suggestion, hope you don't mind. ->  I hate abbreviations, but you can change Resist / Elusion back if you think they lose too much meaning (the latter is really pushing it. Maybe Repel / Nullify is nicer.) Maybe MPResist / MPEvade, at least. |
