FFVII:Online (2D MMORPG)

[kuro]

Hello all!

It's been awhile, i been really busy over this holiday, and with work, life etc... but in mist of all this i had an idea for creating a FFVII 2D MMORPG

after lots of time searching for the right engine... i finally found it!! =)

so without further a due, i give you "FFVII: Online (2D MMORPG)" DEMO


Visit http://www.ff7online.net for more info, and download of game client.

(I will have the server up all day today for sure, so please be sure to check it out)

I take my hat of to you. If you can make this work then I would play this game all day. Should i point out issues or is it too early?

[kuro]

no no any feedback is good! = )

Now that is cool i had never seen this before. Have to look into it more.

[kuro]

Thanks Tebian! = )  

I may even be able to feature some of the Cool Music you play here if you have some in .mid format!

I haven't quite figured out how to playback the music in the engine just yet lol, but im sure i will figure it out soon.

I just Purchased and Setup a New Dedicated Server! = )   

Game is currently in Alpha Stage! 

Everyone can demo it now.

Dang I had thought you where talking about the patch. This is really cool setup you got going with the 2d FFVII. I will have to show this on our live stream one Sunday.

I tried this for a bit. With a little more development (FF7-related quests, for teh lulz or seriousness, just as an example), it's got potential to attract and amuse an audience. The engine itself seems dynamic enough to be able to add neat things (I can potentially see quests, summons, etc.), and I look forward to your implementation of these.

I can see that this has a lot of potential Good going. I'd really like to see this expanded..

Being the critical person I am, here's what I think of it:

Pros:

• Picking your stats upon leveling is nice. It gives it the game that classic RPG feel.
• The different coloured names for enemies. Monsters vs unfriendly NPCs.
• Spells ftw! I love the animation for Fire.
• The help options and the controls are very straight forward.
• The layout is absolutely lovely!
• The addition of music gave it a really nice touch.

Cons:

• I was unable to get the Bolt spell to work for the life of me. It's probably just a minor glitch.
• Gil is a staple in all FF games, but I'm not sure what the point in having it is; I didn't see any shops around. Will they be implemented?
• I was pretty confused when I saw Rahmu. Is he just a friendly NPC walking around?
• The respawn rate is a little quick for my liking.
• SO MANY FLAILS.

What I think might help:

• It's to my understanding that the NPCs in red are unfriendly. If that's the case, maybe having them as aggressive characters (attack before you attack them) might be an idea.
• This is just personal preference, but perhaps making it a little harder to level up.
• A level specification on Fabio's Flail, or what you need in order to equip it.
• Quests, summons, etc. as Ch00b said. It'd give the game a little oomph, if you will.

Keep up the good work! I'm very impressed.

Thank you for the feedback! =) really appreciate it. I will take note of all this and be sure to make good use of it.

- Shops will be added, Rahmu is yes currently serving the purpose of a Friendly NPC walking around lol, and most of the other cons you mentioned will addressed

The Game is in very early stages... this is merely a MOCK-UP / Alpha Demo

I just wanted to put this out there for you all to play with...

I was very excited when i found the perfect engine to bring my idea of a 2D FFVII MMORPG to life! so i just had to share this in it's premature stage.



- I most definitely want to begin building quests, but before that i need to create the world map! *if anyone knows of any good resources for FFVII type TileSets, or any artists that would be interested in creating some FFVII TileSets let me know.

I can't offer any compensation for any contributions as i'm already paying out of pocket to host the Server, and Website, the best i can do is ofcoarse give total credit for your work! =) 

this is all for the love of Final Fantasy 7
