The VG Resource

First up, we have Elnoyle, who's actually just a texture/palette swap of the early boss Elvoret, but...anyhow, here it is.

Then we have Slapper, the demonic hockey player? (I dunno.) You fight him in Galbadia Garden. So the question is, did G Garden's hockey team decide that it wanted to follow Seifer and the Galbadian Army, or does the Galbadian Army have a hockey corps?

But we're starting out with Catoblepas, 'cause I'm doing things in alphabetical order. Of course, Catoblepas is just a skin change for a Behemoth, but...there's a lot of skin change monsters/bosses in Ultimecia's Castle, as you'll see below. (There's still two more of 'em in this batch...)

Next, the Red Giant. (How's that for a creative name?)

And now we have Tiamat, the primordial ocean from whom all life sprang, cut down in her prime by her mutinous descendent Marduk--oh, wait, wrong Tiamat. Yeah, so Final Fantasy's Tiamat is a wind-based evil Bahamut....sigh....no one respects myths anymore...

And now we finally move on to the final battle! But before we get to the real participants, we have what I have tentatively dubbed "Final Battle Misc." which I don't know if you want to put it under bosses or add an "Other" category. It consists of the two mystery models I posted about earlier. The lightning-bolt looking one is called Helix, and Ultimecia summons it in her second form as an assist. (Over and over and over again...) Its primary purpose seems to be to destroy any GFs you might try to summon. So it's a very annoying thing, but anyway, there it is. The other I've called "defeated essence" because it seems to be the model used to represent the defeated Griever and the defeated Ultimecia as Ultimecia junctions herself to Griever in order to create her creepy second form. (Not as creepy as her third form, but...anyway...) So, I don't know if anyone actually wants those models, but here they are for the sake of completion!

And now Griever, who Ultimecia describes as the strongest GF...and who shares the same name as Squall's ring, and looks like the lion-thing on his gunblade and necklace. (So, did the ring and necklace come in a special edition version of his gunblade? Is he secretly a weapons otaku? That would be hilarious. Although the idea that he named the face on his ring is also pretty funny...)

And finally, Sorceress Ultimecia herself! In all three of her forms, none of which had alternate names. However, I couldn't decide how to handle the preview, because her incredibly creepy third form has this enormous cape-thing that's actually a large part of the battle ground, so I wasn't sure if I should try to show that or not. So I did two versions, one showing the enormity of her third form, and one giving a closer view of the part that's actually interesting.

We'll be starting with the player character, Squall Leonhart. (Not because he's the player character, but because he's alphabetically before Zell.)


http://www.mediafire.com/?d3z96op4g6iw5rr

And here are his gunblades, in a separate download, as suggested:


http://www.mediafire.com/?h8g1q6q06wwa010
Though as you can see from the preview, although he has a lot of different upgrades available for his gunblade, there are more textures than there are weapon shapes.

Anyway, moving on, we have the energetic Zell Dincht! (If you're wondering, I'm sticking with the order they were in within the game files, and that's why Zell is next, instead of the next party member you receive, or whoever. Actually, if I wasn't following the file order, I'd have started with Laguna!)


http://www.mediafire.com/?365294gp5dzquz7
I've included a readme file about the lack of hands.

And here we have Zell's weapons, though they are unfortunately textures only. (Naturally, the readme is in there, as well.)


http://www.mediafire.com/?x7wadigwp8bmu5h

The Man with the Machine Gun himself, Laguna Loire, former Galbadian soldier, future Esthar President and all-around dreamboat, here is the father that Squall hasn’t yet met:

As you can see, the Galbadian military uniform is one of the ones that really suffers from the transparency issue.

And of course we have Laguna’s friends and followers, starting with Kiros Seagill:


http://www.mediafire.com/?advb5u9ihzt1e8c
As with Zell, Kiros’s hands are part of his weapon, so he doesn’t have any. I added that to the readme. Of course, in Kiros’s case it’s worse, since his weapon isn’t just gloves, but blades held closely in his hands, and of course he only has the one set of weapons so why not just put them there in the first place! ARGH! Ahem. Please excuse that little outburst.

And then we have Ward Zabac:

We may as well go in roughly game order rather than alphabetical this time, ‘cause I feel like it. So we’ll start with Instructor Quistis Trepe:


http://www.mediafire.com/?m6t0pc6bx0hz828

And her whips, of course. And I’m never sure when a name ending in “s” should have an “’s” and when it should just have an “’” so I did the icon both ways. Unlike with most of the other weapons, the whips are available in .dae and .smd format as well as .obj, because the whips actually have bones and movement.


http://www.mediafire.com/?ssb74gex76dnd5v


Then we have the adorable Selphie Tilmitt, who has a texture problem on her main model, unfortunately. Basically, it seems to be a UV map issue, but I don’t know why it rips broken when it doesn’t appear that way in the game. The problem is that her underwear—instead of being where it should be, out of sight—goes all the way down to the bottom of the interior of her skirt in the back, so you get a panty shot at almost all times. It’s disgusting and annoying, but should be fairly easily fixed. However, I didn’t want to try fixing it myself, since I wouldn’t do a very good job, and I’m sure there must be about a dozen different ways to fix it, and everyone will prefer their own solution, right? Anyway, it only affects Selphie’s main outfit, not her student uniform.


http://www.mediafire.com/?788aatidqygaag6

And Selphie’s nunchaku, like Quistis’s whips, are available in .dae and .smd as well as .obj.


http://www.mediafire.com/?d8qu04u1x260ila

So if we’re following game order, then the next party member will be Rinoa Heartilly.


http://www.mediafire.com/?ol2zmchpd28yu75

I have no idea what Rinoa’s weapon-type is properly called, so I just called it “Rinoa’s Weapons” and I hope that’s not a problem.


http://www.mediafire.com/?08deu6m0gq377yj

And finally our last contestant—I mean, party member—Irvine Kinneas. Irvine is the only party member we never see in any other clothes. That’s actually kind of weird, don’t you think? (Well, unless you count the flashbacks to when they were all about five or six years old, anyway. But since they all have that (other than Rinoa) it still makes Irvine the odd man out.)

And Irvine’s guns:
