ROM hackz? Woah woah wait a tick...

[neo-fusion]

Ok so the CC guys are working... on decoding Chrono Cross. I was wondering if it was editable. If so, could you change events, areas, and other shit?

I know modding is possible, an old friend of mine was an expert at it, but I was wondering if you could change a game dramatically.

If so I have an idea and it would likely be blasted by square.

Anyway, since RPG maker couldn't do it, is it possible to hack Final fantasy 7 and try and recreate Advent Children?

I would think that would be sweet. Recreate it like Final Fantasy 6 when the resistance seperates into 3 stories (one of my favorite parts of the game.... AURA!!!) except with Tifa in the church and othe stuff like that.

We're hoping to drastically alter Chrono Cross. Have you been over to qhimm by any chance? I recall seeing a model of Advent Children Cloud over there already.

Too bad the actual models used in Advent Children are sitting on a hard drive in a Square Enix office, never to see the light of day again. Next best thing are the Advent-Children style characters in Kingdom Hearts II, but that doesn't cover everyone.

Oh I love qhimm & Ficedula. I love the FF7 citadel. Hate the forum there though. About dead and it isn't nearly as laid back as they say... Tarale is like the damn post police.

I was always really intimidated to come here to the Compendium, for some reason.  I had been following this place since 2004 and I had never registered in a forum before (Chrono Compendium is my first and only), plus I heard a few people mumbling about how the Compendium's members were generally closed-minded and accepting of outsiders.  But when Prophet's Guile came out I couldn't put it off any longer and registered and I found that I love it here.

I know how you feel Boo, I'd been ghosting this place for the longest time, but got intimidated by the in-depth plot discussion on pocket dimensions and so forth. It was the Dream Splash that finally pushed me over the edge. The more awesome things the Compendium does, the more members it gets.

Lol your not the only one bystanding.

I was going to sign up after playing prophets guile... my computer crashed because of the emulator... fucker....

Anyway, I went to the Citadel because I was big into FF7. I heard that this place was close minded in the forum also.

It turns out that the citadel is not what they say they are.

They aren't close minded, they aren't laid back, and you have the backseat modding of Tarale up your ass along with soulstorm/fantasy king. Overall because I was the only one giving traffic on the forum, I got NaNed... Pretty much is what I am saying is Fuck that forum.

ANYWAY... So it would be possible to recreate advent children and drastically change character models and shit?

[FaustWolf]

I haven't kept up on the latest in FF7 modding, but I'm pretty sure they were able to insert models from a Dreamcast Sonic game. I would expect the models from a Dreamcast game to have waaay more vertices than what the FF7 game engine was originally designed to handle, so it may just be a matter of getting some Advent Children-like models and reformat them so they're in FF7 model format. Or something. Not really sure how that works yet.

Well a guy I used to know went by the name murak modder... if only I remembered how he did his stuff, because he completely changed cloud's model.
