Which version of Cid does everyone like more? The lower one, with tan boots and belt. |

Then I'll make my own contribution too. Cloud's mugshot was almost identical to the original FFVII art, but I think this one looks better. I changed Cloud's nose.  The one I made is original.   No matter how much better it looks than mine, the hack needs to match the playstation Final Fantasy VII graphics. |

Thanks for the new Barret mugshot, Chpexo.  Definitely the tan boots are better for Cid. Also, I like betakiller's nose for Cloud more than the old nose. I made an edit to Reno's face to make his features more identifiable.  |

Here's what I found that you could change: Barret should revert to his old brown palette. I would use my patch that edits the opening area I gave you. The Soldiers colors in-battle have weird colors. The helmet glass should be yellow. Cloud's mugshot is all yellow, the top part should be yellow and the bottom should be blue like the status screen. Aeris' status screen background is gray and not black for some reason  That's all I found. Good job so far :thumbsup: Tell me what ideas you accept or decline. |

I ran into a problem when I was making the changes.  I copied the data from your version, but I'm not sure why it came out like this. |

You guys are doing a very good thing with the graphics. It looks very nice and a lot more like FFVII... Yet I can't help but think that more help is going to need to be enlisted to perfect this.
Now, I know that this isn't the purpose of the topic, but I may as well say it anyway.
- Battles still need rebalancing and speeding up.
- Menus need reorginization.
- The text needs polishing.
- And of course, the music needs to be replaced.

It worked! Thanks You guys are doing a very good thing with the graphics. It looks very nice and a lot more like FFVII... Yet I can't help but think that more help is going to need to be enlisted to perfect this.

- Battles still need rebalancing and speeding up.
- Menus need reorginization.
- The text needs polishing.
- And of course, the music needs to be replaced. I agree, I would also like to add more NPCs. Have the 2nd Cait Sith show up at the Temple of Ancients. Add more info about what happened in Nebelheim, the game doesn't mention that Cloud was actually one of the guards who went with Zack and Sephiroth. Also, I would like to add more battle sprites. Like when a character takes damage, uses magic, uses an item, step forward and step back when attacking, and when you win a battle. But for now this is good, you gotta start somewhere right? Might as well be with changing the graphics. |

For the music I thought about copying and pasting some music from FF3 (Not as a permanent thing, just to make the game's music more bearable). Would it be possible?
If it is, does anyone know where to find the coding for the music.
(I mean, if the game is going to have music from FF2 and FF3 it might as well be the real music and not some cheap knockoff)

Lindblums big archive file has a tool to convert simplified MIDI files into the right format
and this forum has infos how to compose via hex-editor.
You cant really remix FF VII music because the NES has a very simple sound chip.
The battle track is already from FF II but the "boss" track is a shortened FF III song.
The enemies are all from FF III.That shows you that FF III doesn't have a fitting setting to VII, only a few monsters like wolves are VII encounters.

You cant really remix FF VII music because the NES has a very simple sound chip Yeah, if the music's going to be made it would have to be from scratch. I'm sure it can be done. After the graphics are done, I'll get started learning to compose music. But, if someone with knowledge of music composition would like to jump in and start making FFVII music for this game, it would be greatly appreciated. This music needs all the help it can get.
