The VG Resource

Hello. First time poster incoming!

-> GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT!! <-

CAUTION: I will be the first to admit that this rip is fairly disorganized. I don't have the patience to name and sort everything 100% correctly. That's why I am posting this here.

WHAT HAS BEEN RIPPED:

• All tilesets
  
• All area backgrounds
  
• All bestiary
  
• All world map things
  
• All menu/interface things
  
• All sprites (with one tiny exception)
  
• All battle backgrounds (beach BG found here)
  
• Most screen overlay things (very hard to know if I got them all)
  
• Most misc. map effect things (again, very hard to know if I got them all)
  

WHAT'S MISSING:

• ALL TAY + Interlude stuff for now
  
• Eidolons and Lunar Eidolons (excluding those found in the bestiary)
  
• The sprite shown when falling down a waterfall
  
• Weapons in battle and their corresponding damage animations
  
• Magic effects (will never happen)
  

CONCLUSION:
I have absolutely no plans to rip the magic effects used in battle. There are a ton of them, and a lot of them use 3D effects. I'm a married guy with a kid on the way and just don't have that kind of dedication. If I missed anything else, let me know.

CREDIT:
If you use a part of this rip in your project, I'd just like a small "Thanks to Cat Slobber" somewhere; doesn't have to be in an obvious spot. Have fun with this!

Generally we don't make topics until we're showing something off, so I'll give you til tonight to post something before I close the topic.

That said, woo-hoo! I can't wait!

Just a taste of some odds and ends I'm wrapping up right now. Character sprites are very close to being done and next will be enemies and battle backgrounds, which I'm quite happy to do.

I'll post another update soon.

Looking good. Someone started the After Years. Gonna do some of that too?

Fairly certain I will be. Since I haven't played it yet for PSP, I'll be ripping as I go through it.

Updated first post with release.

So far, so good. There's a lot of cleaning up to be done, though. Look at the battle backgrounds, for example. The enemies/bosses/summons need to be sheeted. The characters also need a little cleaning up. This is mostly some easy stuff to do though.
Would you mind getting some screenshots of the game areas? That way we can make some icons. I can do enemies and characters, no problem.

Also, this is all of FF4's playables, but none of the FF4: TAY ones are in here. Awesome so far!

Sorry, I didn't mention that I hadn't done TAY yet. However, it's on my todo list. (updated first post with this.)

It's a pain, but I'll see what I can do about screenshots. I had considered doing this since it might have been difficult to use some tilesets without a good reference on how they fit together.

I'll help out.

I'll claim to organize the battle backgrounds for you =)

by the way, how did you extract the sprites and bgs?

I left some blank space, in case that someone is able to get the beach bg.

That was quick.

Someone over at one the RPG Maker VX Community released a bunch of FFIV stuff before I did, but he does have the beach battle background.

Edit: Looks like he has some TAY stuff mixed in there as well, but it's not labeled / organized.

Perfect, here you go:
