The VG Resource

Damn, I awoke the entire floor because of my laugh!
That thing is the most accurate definition of Necron. I have two theories about it:
1- Necron's story was supposed to be developed, but they didn't had the time and decided to insert it just because Trance Kuja wasn't hard enough to beat
2- It was a left-over from the previous FFIX's concept, were Garnet was black-skinned and you could wear Bahamut and Leviathan as jobs, not to mention Garland was just like the FFI's Garland

Wait, really?

Yeah, really. Yesterday I showed the concept to my roommate, the only FFIX fan I ever met... And she enjoyed the reject concept better! Found the disc with those long-forgotten stuff the other day.
Here, let me show you:


The would-bes Zidane and Garnet


Bahamut and Leviathan as jobs. There are also artworks of Titan and Shiva, maybe they would be regular summons. Titan is the same as ever, but Shiva looks like a sylph, fairy, imp, something like that. There are also artwork of the main characters using traditional jobs, like Black Mage, White Mage and stuff.


This Garland would be awesome


Pure yellow pwnage reject! Just a blasphemy.

In other hand, the reject FFX looked like a "What if FFXI Online and Phantasy Star actually had a child together?", and it wasn't a good thing.

Sorry if I strayed too much away from the topic, but this rejected concept is too good to be forgotten.

I'm more chuffed about the Blood Omen rips - that game was the balls.
Everything Kain says is amazing; The heart, of darkness.
Alas, poor Nupraptor, I knew him well... Well, not really.

So far I've ripped all the interesting stuff from Blood Omen I could get. I couldn't manage to rip the sprites or anything like this, maybe I should try to do it by old fashioned way. But I got all the main character's textures from SR1, SR2 and Defiance, and I'm thinking about ripping the mural textures from SR2 and Defiance. BO2 (a piece of shit) seems to use a different kind of compression (don't know if it's a blessing or not).
Did you know that Kain's voice actor, Simon Templeman, is a Shakespearian actor?

Right now I'm trying to extract the FFVIII's NPCs, and I sometimes try to extract BO2 textures too, along with assembling Guybrush Threepwood's sprites from Secret of Monkey Island (PC). This character maybe got more frames than any of my other rips!

Ulty, you make me very happy.

Found some more useful stuff from Blood Omen ;p



EDIT: To correct the resize:

I believe that the map has been resized..

Indeed it was. Unfortunately I don't have the original here (I'm on my father's computer) so I'm going to remove it for the time being.

Small curiosity: the PC version of Blood Omen contains both the low-res graphics from the PS1 version and it's own hi-res stuff. Like the map.

Now it's correct in size ;p



And bonus: tits + giant space flea from nowhere

Those really are some hefty tits.

I don't know how you can beat that post.

Another thing that never made much sense to me is the "Trance" stuff. Why they have to glow pink/purple and look strange when they are stronger?
Also, it doesn't matter: Trance or not, Kuja is way too gay

Grr, I just updated. Oh well, awesome rips.

I LOL'ED

There isn't much more interesting stuff left. The program I use seems only to recognize the battle textures. So now I'm trying to figure out the trance textures (which belongs to each one) and soon I'm done I'm going to post them. And maybe two more extras.

I would like to find the no-battle texture. I would love to rip Older Laguna, Ellone, Child Ellone, Cid (FFVIII), Ruby, Alleyway Jack, Mikoto and Queen Brahne (not to mention the rest of the GFs and the Eidolons) :/
