I hope so too. I like action games and I like challenges, but I don't want to have to exploit every glitch or secret there is to beat boss 1 or anything. A game just right, not too hard but not so mind-numbingly easy either.

I agree fully. I had enough of nearly impossible challenge hacks years ago.

EN-AR-GEE. NRG.

...That's so awesome. It beats ENG or whatever. BTW, THAT looks awesome... What system?

I've heard of Zone of the Enders but the only one I ever tried out was this GBA one... It was... lame...

I'll hunt this game down for sure though. The destruction in that screenshot looks so beautiful that it looks like it came out of a movie or something... O_O

Edit: Whoa, it's a game by Hideo Kojima!!

Ice metal will be slightly harder as some of the more harder enemies can be encountered earlier on in the game. But beside that it should not be hard combat wise.

The hack is after all more exploration based then combat based.

I decidedly like the Super Nintendo version Breath of Fire's font better than the GameBoy Advance version's font. And after playing masaki's color restoration mod, I thought, "Hey, why not make it even more like the SNES version?"



I had to add that drop shadow in the third picture by hand. Afterwords, I had to edit it so it wouldn't look so boxy with the smoothing.

Now, you might be curious, seeing the fourth picture, as to what I did with the 8x8 font. Well, I was initially going to do a smaller version of the 8x16 font...but then I saw that the stupid "graying out the black normally used for shadows" issue was replicated here, only this time, it was "graying out the gray normally used for smoothing". Since the original Breath of Fire barely used smoothing for what little 8x8 font it had (It basically consisted of the uppercase letters and the numbers 0-9), I decided to steal another game's. Which game?

Final Fantasy IV for the Super FamiCom. No, not any of the translations, either--I mean, untranslated, no modifications.



...Though as you can see, I did make some mods to the font. Not many, though. Mainly, I edited a few uppercase letters to be more consistent with the rest of the uppercase letters, and the uppercase "A" and the "2" are from Lufia & the Fortress of Doom.

I might release this, though without masaki's color mod.

EDIT: Also, in the 8x16 font, I edited the lowercase "g". This is because I was trying to make the lowercase letters that were supposed to hang down actually hang. So like the lowercase "p" hangs lower than the "a" instead of being the same height... Anyway, I couldn't find a decent look for the original lowecase "G", so I made an edit of the "y".

No... ^.^;

More like, you can go and fight harder enemies early on in the game as it's much more open... Or you can explore the areas with easier enemies first!
