Final Fantasy: Zero
Final Fantasy: Zero is a non-profit fan made game designed by the fans for the fans using RPG Maker XP. It is simply intended as a tribute to all the great games of the series that have come before it as a reward for the fans and a thank you to Square-Enix.
STORYLINE
"I am what I am and nothing can change that. For me things have no colour, there is no clear definition between the black and the white, everything had just become a blurred shade of grey, a painful reminder of the truth that things are never as they seem..."
- Keiros Aldermann
Two thousand years have passed since the splitting of the continents. Since then, the continents formed into nations with their own opposing ideologies and beliefs. Every year there is a celebration called the Festival of Union that marks the anniversary since the other nations reunited but it is nothing more than a facade as there is no unity between the nations. In fact, the most powerful of these nations the Keiros Empire, is preparing to attack the rest of them. Ruled by the immortal Emperor Keiros Aldermann, who was born during the splitting, the Keiros Empire is home to Leon Kirk and Minos Aurellis, two working class citizens of the Empire whose lives are dramatically changed one day.
Leon, who has been plagued by dreams of a burning city and a hooded man, awakens to a note from his closest friend Minos telling him to meet him in the sewers. Upon complying with this request Minos shows Leon that he has spontaneously learned the abilities of a Black Mage. Able to cast powerful spells, there appears to be no logical explanation for it and soon, they haven’t the time to find out why. When Leon and Minos get a pass to go into the castle during the Festival of Union, they meet the legendary beauty Princess Aemi Monroe, the daughter of the elected ‘King’ of the Langaran Federation and the Emperor’s first target. Using Aemi’s attempt to incite rebellion in the Empire as an excuse, Keiros sends the Royal Guard after her but Leon, who instantly has grown attracted to her, defends her and with the help of Minos’ black magic, they are thrust on an adventure as fugitives.
On their journey they meet the brilliant but drunkard pirate Cid Bandersnatch, who helps them cross the oceans on his ship the ‘Rita-Marie’. But it’s not long before Keiros sends bounty hunter, Silos Varash, after them, a fearsome gunslinger who wants to take her back dead or alive. Fleeing across the globe, they are pursued by the Emperor, as they try to rally the nations of Gaia against the Empire to defend the planet. Soon the everyday citizens of Leon and Minos find themselves leading the rebellion, and commanding the armies that may be the last hope against the Empire.
Welcome to Final Fantasy: Zero, a tale set across the massive world of Gaia, where an ordinary man finds himself in extraordinary circumstances. Where science and sorcery fight against each other and together, for freedom or oppression. Welcome to a world where one man can make a difference, that lasts forever
Eternity, Finality, Change
PLAYABLE CHARACTERS
NOTE: The characters listed here are only characters seen in Chapter One.
LEON KIRK
Leon acts as though he were an ordinary citizen and above all else he wants to lead a life like one, though deep down he knows this is impossible and when he is forced to become a fugitive from the Keiros Empire he realises that it’s a life he can never have. A natural-born leader, it is from here he becomes the leader of the party; spurred on by the classical fairytales he was read as a child, his desire for a normal life is overridden by his sense of destiny to be a hero. For several weeks he has had a recurring dream of a man shrouded by a hood speaking in riddles as Leon recounts the day he saved Minos’ life during a great fire.
MINOS AURELLIS
Cocky, arrogant, abrasive, a little selfish but lovable. Minos is Leon’s best friend; he grew up as an adopted child rebelling against his noble family he preferred to hang out in the slums and at the docks than go to fancy parties with his parents. Minos is Leon’s closest friend, and the one person he trusts due to his overwhelming paranoia of the government that kicks into overdrive when he wakes up one morning having spontaneously discovered the ability to cast black magic, which usually takes years to master. Brave and a little foolish, he’s not one to back away from a fight and on more than one occasion has had Leon drag him away from bar fights.
AEMI MONROE
A former student of the Tellarion magic school, Aemi is a White Mage and the daughter of the elected ‘King’ of the Langaran Federation, hence her title as ‘Princess’. A kind-hearted woman who deeply cares for others in need. Whilst much of the time she puts on a formal stance, she does not enjoy doing; she smiles and nods for the nobles but doesn't particularly care for them, to the point where she is sick of being treated as one of them. Considered to be one of the most beautiful women in all of Gaia, she catches Leon’s eye about five seconds after meeting each other.
LANYA COLIM
A young Dragoon who has just graduated from the Langaran Dragoon Dojo. Her hopes of joining the elite military of Langara fell apart when she discovered that Aemi was in danger. Lanya being the friend of Aemi chose to stick by her friend and act as an escort as they moved around the world fleeing from the Empire. The bond between Lanya and Aemi is one that allows her to be both friend and protector. Her morals are quite black and white with no room for any grey area. For her, there is friends and there are enemies, heroes and villains; it came from a part of her training as a Dragoon, which with the increase in military technology is become a more and more archaic form of combat of an old age.
NPCs
KEIROS ALDERMANN
The immortal Emperor who founded the Keiros Empire nearly two-thousand years ago, people have tried to kill Keiros in the past with no success which in the eyes of his people and the other nations of Gaia makes him an even more fearful threat, for a man who cannot die is not likely one to give up such power he has accumulated. There seem to be two sides to Keiros, the front he puts on for his people and the version of himself alone or with close subjects, a depressed, lonely man who has watched everyone and everything he ever loved die. It is Keiros’ warrant for the arrest of Aemi that sets the heroes out on their journey, though soon they find themselves pitted against Keiros’ army as he begins to ignite a global war to seize power.
SESTIVAN
Sestivan is an old man who lives north of the capital of the Keiros Empire, Keiros City. He was once the Head Wizard of the Mage School in the capital but after a falling out with the Emperor resigned from his post to live in the wilderness. There is an ‘Obi-Wan’ quality to the man as he seems a little bizarre, like he is not always being entirely truthful or leaving out the fine print in conversations. It is Sestivan who instantly recognises Minos as a black mage and later on helps the party down the path of summoning through the Orbs. From the abnormally low temperature of his house to the bizarre music playing in the background, Sestivan is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle tied around a mystery.
SILOS VARASH
A former soldier and now bounty hunter/mercenary. He fights for no flag or nation. Keiros hires Silos to go after Leon, Minos and Aemi and hunt them down. Twenty years prior to the start of the game he lost his right arm during a war.. Silver-grey hair, his aged hair is nothing let your guard down about, Silos is faster than most people half his age and more dangerous than most gun-slingers.
CID BANDERSNATCH
Cid is a bald-by-choice pirate who lives in the 'secret' town of Pirate's Port. He is the owner of the Rita-Marie sailing vessel and has always taken a keen interest in the Anterran efforts to creating a flying ship from which he has his own ideas for. A technical engineer who lost his wife long ago, he became a raging alcoholic and a pirate. Always living in his father’s overbearing shadow, Herald Bandersnatch was the man who created the first airship but Cid and his father do not get along and haven't spoken since the death of Cid's wife. At times he is even louder than Minos, but where Minos is just cocky, Cid is just angry.
THE MEMORY
Calling himself nothing but simply ‘The Memory’, he comes to Leon in his dreams and taunts him. Through a fiery blaze, he appears to be trying to show Leon something but it is impossible to tell what because of the cryptic way he speaks. However it soon becomes evident that he is far from just a dream when Leon begins seeing him in reality and soon, everyone can see him as he manifests in physical form.
SCREENSHOTS
These are some screenshots taken from within the game.

A BLOODY INTRODUCTION
SYSTEMS & SIDEQUESTS
ORBS
The Orb system was designed by Petros and scripted by DeMoNfIRe
The Orb system is the method by which characters can equip ‘Summoning Orbs’ to enhance their stats through an ‘Orb Grid’. From these Orbs they can enhance stats like HP, Strength and Magic and learn magic skills that could not be learnt through their job.
Ex: Leon as a Squire cannot learn Fire, however if he equips the Ifrit Orb into his grid, he learns how to summon Ifrit and the spell Fire
Orbs also teach ‘Passive Abilities’, abilities which work by using up earned ‘AP’ to equip them. These include Antibody, which prevents the user from contracting the Poison status. Frost Guard, which reduces damage of Ice attacks by 20% or High Tide, which increases the rate of the Limit Break gauge.
There is a video demo of the beta in the videos section at the bottom.
TRIPLE TRIAD
The Triple Triad Script was created by SephirothSpawn based on the mini-game from Final Fantasy VIII
The great Final Fantasy VIII game of Triple Triad Cards returns to the game once again thanks the SephirothSpawn, his great card designs include not only the Final Fantasy VIII cards but cards from Final Fantasy's VII-X and even X-2 cards. I have also implemented a few cards from this game too, mostly characters and summons though. The game runs the same and works by challenging someone by pressing a 'Z' on the keypad to challenge them. There is also a triple triad tournament arena in Anterra's Capital City of Rusonia.
MUSIC
Many fangames or even completely original games often use music by Nobuo Uematsu, the composer of the Final Fantasy series. However Final Fantasy: Zero striving to be the best and we are intending to use a wholly original soundtrack composed by Landreth Baugh, Jeremy King, Richard J Duran and Kevin Penkin. But sticking to using some of the traditional FF Styled music such as the Prelude and Prologue themes.
This is a link to the official Soundtrack on our Youtube channel.

Been gone a long while but im back now and not as annoying. promise
THANKS TO ANDROMEDA
I usually don't care much for original games made in RPGMaker, but this actually looks promising. When are you planning to release this?
Oh and we tend to not care for advertising, but since you've actually made posts here already, I'll okay this.
I can't believe Cain posted here and just let this go...Originally Posted by C_Dude1579
It is being made on RPG Maker XP, so it is pretty much a fan made pc game. This was stated if you read the first line...
This looks pretty cool and I'm wondering how it will turn out. I looked at the Trailers and it didn't look too bad. The music was pretty good too. The characters seem alright, but I'm wondering how the story is going to turn out.
I went to their forums and it looks like they planned for Chapter 1 to be released sometime last summer, but I seems like it was never released. I guess we shouldn't be expecting the full game for a few years...
Weren't Aerif and some other people on this site trying to make some sort of game using RPG Maker? What ever happened to that?
Ditto.I can't believe Cain posted here and just let this go...
Aerif made a thread about it. The game is ready for download and I played a bit of it. I like it so far.Weren't Aerif and some other people on this site trying to make some sort of game using RPG Maker? What ever happened to that?
http://thefinalfantasy.net/forums/ga...hronicles.html
As for this one, it looks like a lot of work and dedication went into making what you have so far. Good luck with promoting your game.I hope you get the feedback you want.
The teaser trailer was pretty awesome. I liked the music.
Click at your own risk.:
I warned the post before I posted guys >.>
Haha Cain, I retrospect I realise this does look a little like shameless promotion. But I have been coming to this site for a while, just not the forums. It was Aerif's thread that inspired me to do this.
About the release date, it's not confirmed because we had a lot of trouble in the past over graphical errors, my idocy and our script programmer taking about 2 years to finish something. The long of the short though is that we're looking at Late January for release of Chapter One. It's the hardest one to get out because it involves the most external work such as scripting. From here on out the game really revolves around the characters and the story which are much easier to make.
Chapter One will have approximately 5 hours of gameplay in there. With Chapter Two being completed 4-6 months later and another 8 hours in there. So it's a steady progress but we're on track now.
I am going to be releasing a new trailer sometime this month or as soon as we go into full beta-testing.
Thanks to all you guys, especially Cain Highwind, I wasn't expecting so many posts on my thing here least of all from the Admin. I hope I can please and if yo have any questions I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
man this looks cool cant wait. looks awsome btw i downloded the other game you were talking about how do i play it?
Are you talking about FF VII-2? You just double click "23rd November 09 FFVII-2 Demo." Set where you want to extract to. I just picked the desktop. Then open the folder and double click the "Game" application.
Also it is nice to know that the first chapter will be released soon. Your forums looked pretty dead, so I wasn't sure of the project status. Also have you figured out how many chapters there are going to be in total yet? I'm looking forward to Chapter 1.
EDIT: Thanks Dodie. I must have completely missed that thread. The game turned out better than I expected.

um i tryed that it keeps saying windows canot continue windos restartingYou just double click "23rd November 09 FFVII-2 Demo." Set where you want to extract to. I just picked the desktop. Then open the folder and double click the "Game" application.
The forums aren't dead per se, it's just with only 40 odd members we're just starting out. We've got a few frequent posters and they're mostly on the Staff anyway. Everyone should join us though, I'm always checking up and posting anyway, so are the rest of the Staff.
Can anything to do with my game be put in the appropiate thread please, I'm more likely to see it there.
It's weird that I've never commented on FF:Z even on HBgames. I suppose I've never really had very much to say.
But I want to make a suggestion, everything else in your game seems so independent from Final Fantasy, so I think you should make your own Triple Triad cards from enemy sprites. Since the Triple Triad System isn't used to often it would be interesting to see how it turns out.

Last signature update: 02/08/2014
I agree with Aerif that it would be a lot cooler if the cards were based on the enemies in your game versus being based on the Final Fantasy monsters, unless you are basing your monsters on monsters already used in other Final Fantasy games.
Again, do you know how many chapters there are going to be in your game approximately? If not, that's okay, but I figured that you just skimmed over my post and missed that question.
Approximately Seven Chapters that's my estimate at least, the story is written for seven chapters but right now the only confirmed parts are the first three really, as the rest of the story becomes a little more vague from there out. It could go up to eight, it could go as far as nine or ten but that's very doubtful.
Right now I have a first part Chapters 1-3 and a second part, Chapters 4-7 planned out. The current game-making process has completed Chapters One, Two and I'm working on three now. Well actually I'm working on Chapter One again, re-organising a few things and changing some graphics e.t.c.
Anyway long of the short is, about 7 chapters, 35-40 hours of gameplay.
Just a small update, we have a new logo and there is a new trailer coming January 31st.
Here is the logo that I present to you:

I think I almost jizzed my pants seeing that Triple Triad you'll be incorporating.
You certainly grabbed my attention, and I look forwards to playing it.

"HELLO GUYS!"
I guess that means Chapter One won't be out in late January anymore.Just a small update, we have a new logo and there is a new trailer coming January 31st.
Here is the logo that I present to you:
Does that mean it will probably be released in February or March? I guess I'll just have to look forward to the trailer.
Also I think that I liked the old logo better. This one doesn't look too bad, but I think the head looks a little weird, but maybe that is just me.
Well, good luck with making your finishing touches on Chapter One, and with the rest of the project. I'm still looking forward to it.
Yeah we've just had a lot of coding problems and exploding computers lately so it's all be a bit annoying but the game will be released soon, it may be a little delayed again but it's only because I don't want to give you guys a half-assed effort after I've been working on this for so long.
How far are you guys now, because the game looks promissing!
Hope you guys won't quit the idea..
They posted on their site that there will be a new trailer coming soon about a week ago, but then again they said that there would be a new trailer on January 31st and that was over a month ago. It looks like the first chapter won't be released for a while still.

So it's not an actual FF game (as in being released by Square Enix), but it's intended to play like one.
