Final Fantasy Dimensions (Legends) i-mode rips, kind of
« on: June 09, 2015, 07:51:11 PM »
Brief introduction
These sprites are pseudo SNES rips of FFDL, pretty much the last old school FF game we'll get for a while. They aren't 1:1 rips as they are reprocessed via Photoshop scripts to resemble as close as possible their i-mode counterparts (can't find any dumps of the game and ripping them from a paid copy seems almost impossible). Some have a few edits to feel a bit more legit (*cough* gray outline *cough*). I'm posting the reworked rips here as I don't have much of a use to them, but they may come in handy for other people's hacks.

Usage
While these sprites may look like legit SNES graphics, some of them could require extra edits to fit 16 bit limitations. As a matter of fact, most of them stay below the 16 color limit, while a few definitively exceed it, especially bosses. I didn't really change the original palettes, but actually used them to keep correct reduction and shading.

Legal issues
Since Dimensions is still on sale, I'd rather avoid posting the original sprites. If you need them for reference about how to improve the general quality or to fix flaws, just send me a private message. :P

Excellent sprite rips! I especially like the Floating Eye's sprite. I'm definitely going to see how that one looks in FF4. :banonsmash:


Edit: After downloading the folder, I realize there are a vast number of awesome sprites not in your screenshot that I'm psyched to check out. You just made my day. :D

There are definitively some very cool sprites. You'd be surprised to see how the large majority of them looks pretty bad in "HD". :happy: It'd be nice if more things could be converted with the same scripts, like characters and map tiles, but after several tries I can't ever get them to make any sense. Only a true i-mode rip would make them justice. :tongue:

Judging by the looks of some of the monsters, like the eagle for example, I could imagine how bad it look would bloated up to "HD" standard.  But ported to ff4-6 these baeuties would definetly shine!

I've never actually seen FFD(L), but I imagine it's tiles/characters look as great as it's monsters.

This is what the i-mode Legends looks like:


Some Japanese pixel artist known as Dot Muso also made a couple mocks of that a GBA/DS port could have looked like:


Extremely hot if you ask me. :blush: Even the i-mode sound track hits you in the nostalgic guts, with its way to clone SNES sound.

Gah! This is what the Japanese got? I downloaded the game and was very disappointed, but this looks classic in all the right ways~

Bad quality, but this is taken out of the EZweb version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJewBpaU5c0

[EDIT] The battle theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLfjj0XvS4A
This first part (i-mode OST) sounds pretty SNES as it comes. You can find a few more examples in the same channel. :3

Gah, if only I had better internet. I'd love to here how those tracks sound!

And my God those tiles look kick ASS! So does that Mode7 effect on the world map, makes me wish FFIV or V could do that!


I'm also on the cusp of figuring out a quick and effective way of porting the sprites into my project. I've been sidetracked with some other stuff, as well as having fun comparing the FFDL sprites to the FFIV ones. If I can manage it, some of those larger sprites would make for some extreme extra bosses/enemies!
