Heh, Tiff deleted her thread because I told her it already existed.

You should scroll down about... eight threads. It's right there.

Final Fantasy X- The whole, PLAYABLE, game in NES Form

Since it's essentially a double thread... I'll just close this. Or should I merge it with the other? Actually, I think I'll merge it with the other one. Yep.

We don't need to translate this game. It is an unofficial NES adaptation, which I am against. I do not like chip music. It is not the way Final Fantasy X is meant to be played, and it is derived from the Final Fantasy IIj ROM. It is disrespectful to me. It is destructive to the original intention of Yoshinori Kitase and Nobuo Uematsu. I do not think it is a good idea. One RPGamer.com editorial has discussed things like that. It is the opposite of enhanced remake. It is worse than panning and scanning a widescreen motion picture. Unofficial old school conversion constitutes copyright infringement. I am against unofficial reverting a game to NES format, but reverting a game to SNES format is fine. So that FFX2D might be converted to Final Fantasy Origins style. I may also start looking for any NES stuff, and enhance them to SNES format. However, I am not against the Final Fantasy NES trilogy (I-III) in any way.

...disrespectful?!

I think it's the highest form of respect when a group of fans take a work of art and transplant it to another media. This isn't some Square-Enix remake where they're whoring out another game for more money; it's a fan-made game paying homage to the original title.

And what on earth makes it "okay" for people to revert games to SNES but not NES? I don't see the difference, to be honest. Either way, you're still reverting a title to a media long before its time. Sometimes, I really don't understand you.

It is disrespectful to the makers of the original title, because it is considered copyright infringement.

And as such, no one should ever make any sort of modification to any game that isn't open source. But they do it anyway. Braska, that's quite close-minded of you, and certainly isn't the type of thing I would have expected you to say.

Ted Zanarukando · 11-11-2005, 01:28 PM

Those fans have broken the law. I would not play it myself, because it is unoriginal and unofficial. I would play an NES game only if it is original to the NES or a media format before it.

So what you're saying is that if Square-Enix decided to release FFX on the NES and some fans then transplanted it to the SNES format, you'd be okay with it?

Isn't that playing favorites? It's the exact same thing, regardless of which media someone is moving a game to. That's why I'm saying your argument doesn't make sense.

The NES was on the market in Japan way longer than in North America, and that is probably way it thrived in Japan. It officially died the same time as the SNES in 2003. In the past, some SNES games were illegally ported to the NES, such as Super Mario World, Street Fighter II, and Mortal Kombat.

Hmm, I don't remember the part where you play as Jecht, Auron, and Braska. I only remember seeing some glipses of their past, yet I see a menu screen with their credentials.

You do realize it's only breaking the law if they make money off of it, yes? Come on Braska, anyone knows that. There's nothing illegal about what they did, as long as all credit for the game ideas, storyline, characters and such still goes to SE. It's the same as making Fanart. As long as you don't try to claim the characters as your own, and you're not making money off of it, it's not copyright infringement. So you can just get off your high horse right there on that matter.

I think it's a neat idea. Not something I myself would've done, but still interesting nonetheless. 8-bit goodness is still just that, goodness. Though, ehh...I have to say, Lulu's most impressive features are lost in 8-bit.
