This means that you could change StragoвЂ™s color, but doing so would also change all the other characters who used that palette, and not all of them would look right.

#FINAL FANTASY 3 SPRITES HOW TO#

I was able to figure out how to change the palettes, but not how to change which sprites use which palette. Edgar, Celes, Sabin, the ghost and the imp share the same palette, as do Kefka, Strago, Relm, Gogo, Banon and General Leo. There are only a few palettes used by every sprite in the game. The other problem is that of shared palettes. So I reduced the scope of the project to just the main characters.

Of course, you could go in and create new sprite sheets designed to fit each characterвЂ™s data in the game, but that requires more time than I generally have.

#FINAL FANTASY 3 SPRITES CODE#

This means that if you swap in a character who DOES have a chocobo riding sprite to replace Kefka, all the sprites in the code after Kefka will be glitched. The game designers figured that since no one would ever use these characters on a chocobo, they could store extra data for other characters in that part of the sprite sheet. Kefka, Leo, Banon and Esper Terra all have sprite sheets which include all the information the main charactersвЂ™ sheets do except for a chocobo-riding sprite. So far so good, but the problem is that there are also a number of semi-playable characters with larger sprite sheets. If you want to swap in an NPC sprite for a main character (or vice versa), then youвЂ™ll have to greatly edit the sprite sheet to remove the unneeded animations or add in needed ones.

This means that without any ability whatsoever, you can swap out the sprites for any playable characters and they will still work, and ditto for NPCs. NPCs who only walk around have a much smaller sheet which only contains information for walking data. Playable characters have a larger sheet which contains the sprites used for every action in and out of battle. The game stores the data for each of the sprites in a sheet. However, it became obvious that this would require more work than I was interested in doing. My original plan was to rearrange the entire cast, not just the main characters. While their database for sprite sheets ready to inset into the rom seems unreliable, they have a large selection of tools and hacks to look through. FF3usME in particular is an amazing tool letting you edit almost every aspect of the game including the entire script.В I also found a lot of resources at Final Fantasy VI Hacks. The primary tools I used were the Final Fantasy 3 Sprite EditorВ and FF3usME. That might seem unnecessary, but dammit I spent money on an art degree making rambling artist statements IвЂ™m gonna USE that art degree to make rambling artist statements! Stay tuned for more details on the other titles in the meantime.Now that IвЂ™ve finally worked out the bugs of my hack, I wanted to spend a little time talking about how it was made and what shaped its development.

With previous versions of the ports being pulled from Steam, these are now the only ways to experience the classic RPGs on PC. ThereвЂ™s also an illustration gallery, music player and Bestiary. In terms of gameplay features, a modernized UI and auto-battle options have been added to get through some of the more tedious fights. The soundtrack has also been rearranged by Nobuo Uematsu, the original composer for the titles. Though previous ports have been rather hit or miss, the Pixel Remaster titles feature fully remastered sprites by veteran artist Kazuko Shibuya. Check them all out below.ДЇinal Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5 and Final Fantasy 6 will arrive later this year for both platforms.

Trailers have been released to showcase the remastering work done on each.
