Topic: Filly Fantasy IV

[thepatirckinator]

Once TileShop - Flexible Graphics Editor is released in the future, you guys can work on the sprites for Filly Fantasy IV. I'd suggest you use the FF2US v1.1 rom so you can use FF4kster to work on a literal ponification of Final Fantasy IV.

To avoid confusion, only the spell names in Filly Fantasy IV should be changed to match their modern day counterparts. Let's bring back the cure potions and ether names from the American version of Final Fantasy II including elixirs.

I'd love to see a ninja and a minor villain working together for once. This is why I decided to have Flash act like his own character and appear for only the second half of the story but not become playable having battle sprites only for the two Adagio autobattles and lose to the main antagonist because he used the crystal heart to get revenge on Adagio for killing his parents. That is why I am having Fluttershy become the playable ninja. She will act like Rosa for the first half of the story and will represent Edge for the second half. Don't worry, Sunset will still be playable. Sunset will join the party after she's free from mind control.

Last time I was around, basically every thread I saw had posts in it like:

"Lol Golbez is gonna be in a hack yay"



Come back today to see what's been going on since last time, and the only thing I see:

"Lol Golbez is in hack someone should hack it to be My Little Golbez Ponies yay"

On second thought, how about we make Sunburst the Elder for Filly Fantasy IV. Sunburst would be a perfect ponified version of the elder. Not only he has a beard like his counterpart, but he is just as wise as he is.

"What if a minor villain and a ninja worked together?" This is why I'd prefer not having Flash Sentry become a playable character.

On Second Thought, let's have Applebloom become Yang. As I said, she'll represent Kain for the first part of the story until Rarity uses Quake from a monster that will knock down and then she will become Yang from there on out. Bloom's Commands will be the same as Yang's from the Hard-Type Edition of Final Fantasy IV.
Her job class will be Fighter. Applebloom's gameplay would be the same as Yang's.
Bloom's Commands:
Fight
Brace:Works the same way as Protect except that it will not cost MP and it will say "Defense power increased!"
Kick
Deadly:She's a filly so it made sense to give her a strong attack.
Item

The reason why it would be better for Applebloom to represent Yang is because the bow on her hair can be the counterpart to Yang's braided ponytail and she did Karate as shown in Call of the Cutie.

I hope somebody makes Filly Fantasy IV be awesome than ever. Filly Fantasy IV will be based on the Playable Golbez Edition of Final Fantasy IV with the plot changed to stay as close to the MLP canon as possible. For example, starting actor will be the pony who represents Yang in the hack is where we started with Kain in the original game. Ending actor will be where Golbez used to be in the original game and that position will be for the pony who represents Kain in the hack. The only similarities from the original game is where Starlight will represent Anna and die the same way her counterpart did. Trixie will be like Tellah except that she will be the only character with the MP Overflow which will be reverted back to normal for the first Sunset Shimmer fight. The battle where Trixie dies after the first fight against Sunset Shimmer will be just about the same as Tellah's death. Tellah's death was after the fact he used Meteor which was too much for him to handle. Trixie dies after using Meteor since she tackled Sunset Shimmer only to be hit by a Meteor of her own ending her life.

Sunset Shimmer will join the party as a playable character after she breaks free from mind-control and is a buffed up version of Edge. Her weaker damaging-black magic is removed and her Fire3, Ice3, Bolt3 is renamed Blaze, Frost, and Shock respectively. Sunset will not have the throw command since we can't have two ninjas for Filly Fantasy IV.
The animation for the Fang_Items will be Sunset's version of Bolt, Ice, and Fire magic. Twilight will be a powerful magic caster and will learn powerful magic when she levels up.  We'll have to balance her out using FF4kster for that. The two weaker spells of Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder are eliminated. Her Fire3, Ice3, and Bolt3 are replaced and renamed Fire, Ice, and Bolt. The 
magic animations for Fang-items will be Twilight's versions of Fire, Ice, and Bolt respectively.

Sunset Shimmer's personality as a she-demon is both a psychopath and sociopath combined.
As an evildoer, she cares about nobody but herself and
forgoes friendship lusting for absolute beauty and power
to rule Equestria with an iron fist.
Under Adagio's evil spell, she treats herself like a
princess and will play god to keep it that way.
Her lust for beauty and power has driven her to hate Twilight after the
later becomes an alicorn princess. She plays god with others to her own benefits and takes
pride in the crimes she commits, acts sadistic with a dark sense of humor to fool
others, and turned an innocent princess into a pawn of evil only to be betrayed by
her pawn once again after the former resists her mind-control spell.
When things don't Sunset Shimmer's way, she acts very childish and inmature.
After her plans for princesshood and world domination were foiled by physically weaker ponies,
she suffers a mental breakdown and swears to kill them with death.
In summary, Adagio's evil willpower was too much for Sunset Shimmer to handle.

As it turns out, Sunset Shimmer was brainwashed by Adagio Dazzle as Adagio took advantage of
her hatred and loneliness doing her master's dirty work in order to have Adagio rule Equestria
with an iron fist and obtain princesshood as soon as possible.
When Sunset brakes free from mind control, she feels guilty
for all the evil she had done under Adagio's spell and decides to punish her master
for the crimes she committed under her spell.
After remembering her real name,
she regained friendship and acted like a big sister to
Twilight Sparkle. Before Flash decides to kill Sunset, she tells him to punish
Adagio Dazzle first. Not to be controlled by Adagio again,
she tells Princess Celestia to quickly go after Adagio and
stays with her best friend in order to not lose her mind
to Adagio again like she did before. After joining Twilight's friends,
Sunset swears to kill Adagio to atone for her sins in order to end the
threat she helped rise without sacrificing her life. After defeating Adagio,
she felt no remorse for destroying her master's world domination plan and departs
to Equestria peacefully knowing that everypony has forgiven her.

Setting for Filly Fantasy IV is Heart's Warming Eve Era Equestria. I think that Starlight would be perfect playing Anna in Filly Fantasy IV and because it is said that she is a powerful magic caster in the TV Show. Trixie would be perfect playing Tellah cause she's a magic caster like her counterpart. She would be the only playable character to start with 199 MP making it easier for the player to use Meteor and will stay at 199 even if the player levels up. Unlike her counterpart, Trixie's physical stats including HP increase when she levels up, staying true to her great and powerful personality as a very young unicorn. Like her counterpart, she dies after using Meteor on Sunset Shimmer's she-demon form. Trixie sacrifices herself in order to disable Sunset Shimmer's mind control spell on Luna making it easy for Luna to resist Sunset Shimmer's temptation once again.

Ponified Version of script in Yak Castle during Sunset Shimmer:
Sunset:Oh please!
Is that all your power?
Let's end this!
(Sunset uses Demon on Everyone leaving them with 1 HP)
I can see your weakness.
You will know terror!
Oh, Tantabus!
(Sunset kills everyone one by one except Twily)
Goodbye, Twily!
(Windigo disrupts Tantabus for the last kill)
Sunset: Don't tell me...
that's a Windigo!?
(Rarity comes in and uses Elixir on Twilight!)
???:You are safe now!
Twily:Rarity!

Unlike the original game, Twilight remembers the purple-haired filly and can tell that Rarity has grown to be a beautiful mare!

If you're wondering what I mean about Sunset Shimmer being a buffed up version of Edge, she'll have black magic in the style of ninja magic.
Her spells are Blaze, Frost, Shock, Bio, Osmose, Drain, Quake, Flare, and Meteor. Fire1 and Fire2 are removed but Fire3 is kept and is renamed to Blaze. Ice1 and Ice2 is removed but Ice3  is kept and is renamed Frost. Bolt1 and Bolt2 is removed but Bolt3 is kept and is renamed Shock. Obviously, Sunset Shimmer's elemental spells are buffed in damage with everything else kept intact to make her a well balanced character. She may not be a strong magic caster compared to Twilight with her Alicorn magic, but Sunset Shimmer's damaging black magic is no laughing matter. The Fang Items will be replaced with ninja edges which can only be thrown by Fluttershy having the animation of Edge's Blitz, Flame, and Flood.

It would be great if we add a solo battle in Filly Fantasy IV. Fluttershy takes on Discord by herself and it's easier to do it with Fluttershy alone than with the other four ponies like Rarity, AJ, Luna, and Twily.

Fight Discord with Fluttershy alone?
"Yes"
"No"
Fluttershy:Let me take care of Discord. If it's mortal
kombat he wants, it's mortal kombat he'll get.
Discord:Before I fight you solo,
I'll put you into top shape!
(HP and MP restored)
Show me no mercy!

(Fight against Discord)
Thanks for fighting me. I'll see you again sometime!

It would be fair to have the minor villain and ninja working together. To make Sunset Shimmer and a ninja playable, Flash Sentry had to be downgraded to a non-playable character. I've seen somebody play Filly Fantasy VI and it would be great to have a playable ninja for almost all of Filly Fantasy IV.
