Tales of the Ocean (Part 1)

[7Haseo]

Which system is this for?

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

@7Haseo It was made using RPG Maker 2003, so you can download it onto a PC. There's a link to it in my channel if you're interested.

[7Haseo]

@SeraphimSwordmaster I see cool.

[xionblades]

This is not a tales game the fighting is like final fantasy what happened to moving at free will

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

It's RPG Maker 2003. I can't do a real-time fighting system on it.

[sgnalfyr23]

OH snap I love the TOS music.

..."the things I do for women."

You did great, keep it up.

GoD BLeSS

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Ah, thank you very much my friend. There'll be another demo up tomorrow, so keep your eyes open if you want to play it. =D

[gargisamara]

Ooh, Sema fights in a bit similiar manner to that of Veigue. Not to mention, this doesn't seem bad at all.

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Yeah, I ripped Veigue's sprite from ExceedForce and used it for Sema. I'm working on replacing all the old sprites with better ones, though it will take some time.

And thanks, mate! ^_^

[rpglikerx]

Ohh this looks fun!

[ayameyokomi]

the guy wearing a brown robe looks very much like my crush.. Keele Zeibel! from Tales of Eternia... xD

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Lol. Well most of these are just recolours, but I'm working on making new sprites for everybody.

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

Awesome!! I love it, it looks brilliant!

Have you noticed a lot of the extremely good RPG Maker games out there were made with 2k3? Wow. XD

[dotnleave]

not bad.its very good.how ever u good try to um like in combat like let them move a bit more insted of like doing one thing u no?nice tales of symphonia music and everything.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

You mean do like a real-time system like the Tales music can?

I don't know how to do that in RPG Maker so I had to make do with what I had. Sorry.

[eragonlovermax]

Um...I have one tiny, miniscule problem, and then I'll go on to praising you. This is meant to be like Tales of....series, right? Then the battle system should be that way too, not FF like. That's my only problem.

Alright, this is amazing. Did you make this by yourself? It's amazingly good, I found it while looking under related videos to FE7 Hack.... odd. Like I said it looks amazing I'm gonna go watch the other parts now.

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Yeah, I did make the game. I did it with RPG Maker 2003, which I don't know how to make a Tales-style battle system on. I only know how to do turn-based stuff. That's why it's there.

[TalesFanatic]

Well, that's probably because it was made in the RPG Maker 2003, that program only has that battle system.

[eragonlovermax]

Yeah, I figured that out already, but thanks anyway.

[moonlitewriter]

I cannot believe I never commented on this.

But cheers to the beginning of one of the greatest games ever!

[DerRudymeister]

Can you tell me where you got that awsome battle animation from? did you made that yourself using sprites from the tales of.. series?

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Yeah. I made all the attack animations myself with the Tales sprites. Hard work, I tell ya, but it paid off.

[JimmyLy]

Veigue have to use the Bathroom so make him one.

[Yoshi1x8]

It seems like a real gameboy advance game...im not maing a game like tales of symphonia but my game has voices.

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

A GBA game? Well, I guess that it's really all I can work with seeing as RPG Maker 2003 won't allow me and 3D graphics.

[Yoshi1x8]

It seems like a real gameboy advance game...im not maing a game like tales of symphonia but my game has voices.

[redheadkitten]

I recognise some music from ToS... cool!

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Thanks.

Yeah, I tried to avoid using any FF music for this game and use mostly Tales (and now Baten Kaitos, Golden Sun and Breath of Fire too). xd!

[TheGuruOfTime]

What program did you use to make this one? RPGMaker XP? anyways, when will you release this? the graphics look top-notch, and the music it's really nice too...

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

This was made with RPG Maker 2003. Thanks for your compliments, mate! It should be released about Spring/Summerish for the final game. XD!

[MoonOvIce]

That's great because it looks sweet!

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Cool. Thanks, mate! ^^

[crimsonwyvernknight]

is this a flash sorta thing or is this an actual game?either way,it's fun to watch wi'll waiting for smbz ep.7

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

It is an actual game and you can download it. The link to the demo is on the 21st video, I believe.

[SakuraAzai]

lol its like FF!

i love it

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

You mean the combat or the storyline?

[SakuraAzai]

battle system its nice for a beggineer youre good! i could never do anything like this i envy you

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Aw, thanks. :D

[Weapon162]

This is awesome! Is it hard to make? And how often do you update it?

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

It's kind of updated whenever I feel like I can get something done. It is quite hard to make as I'm kind of a rookie with this still.

[reject016]

awesime!

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Cheers, mate!

[Lyrrad]

Nicely done. I'd make my own game too, but RPG Maker 2003 hates me and I can't get the sprites to work. >:(

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Thanks!

As for your RPG Maker 2003 problem, maybe I can help. Have you saved the sprites as 8-bit? If they're not in 8-bit format then usually RPG Maker 2003 tends to reject them.

[Lyrrad]

8-bit, huh? Oh my. I might as well take this over to a PM~! *Screen Pans*

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

If you need the sprites in 8-bit, then maybe I can help. For some reason, Microsoft Frontpage converts files into 8-bit when I make a colour transparent on them, so maybe it'll work for you too if you have Frontpage?

[fireemblem6654]

this is cool^^ what does ayenni look like in battle?? like philia??

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Yep. I've actually edited Philia's sprite to have no glasses. Ayenni seems like an NPC at first, but she does actually join your party later on as a fighter. She's a spellcaster as opposed to a melee fighter though. A bit like Philia, then. XD

[fireemblem6654]

omg lol XD i cant wait^^

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Ah, thanks mate. You're a good guy!

[fireemblem6654]

lol thanks ur really cool 2!!^^ but i donk know if u know this but im actually a girl XD

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Wow. I have fans that transcend both genders, it would seem. :D!

[jaspermon12]

Ayenni will be a battle character later!? Wooooot! :D

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

She will indeed. She's one of my favourite characters, to be honest, so I'm looking forward to making her a member of the active party. :D

[stickyfeetzero]

I'm actually intrigued, haha.

Only negative comments I have...

1- The battle animations for the characters standing in place look kind of funny, I don't know if you did these or found them thouh, so I don't know what to say more about it.

2- I'm guessing the main character get samnesia after he regains himself? He seems to have forgotten a lot, but then why does he seem to know that he'd do anything for women? =P

Other than those minor things... I'd actually play this =]

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

1. The animations are pretty rough, yeah. Sorry about that. I found them, but I'm still quite a rookie at animating.

2. The main character doesn't have amnesia at all. He merely doesn't remember drowning the village. It's a side-effect of the neth in the story. It makes the minds of whoever uses it weak. As such, when people use a large quantity of it (such as Sema did) they may experience effect such as not remembering what they did or having some mental illnesses.

[slamser777]

Whoa. How'd you do this, Sephy? (Yes, it's me. Screamer. XD)

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

With RPG Maker 2003, and a lot of Tales Sprites, and an even bigger amount of recolouring. XD!

[CloudSSM]

Great job Seraphim. Its me, your "animation" king, Cloud!

[moonlitewriter]

Awesome video! I loved it a lot! Can't wait to see the rest for the 2nd time :]

[Shadowknightzihark]

Hey, It's Shadowknight here. AWSOME job!!!

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

I'm going to upload the Hi-Ougi's as soon as I finish animating them all. I'm sorry for the text's font, so I'll do my best to fix that. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it!

[Machdude]

So? When do you actually plan to upload the Hi-ougis? I wanna see em (and the cut ins I made).

[Eguerrerofan302]

Great video!! XD I can cope with the text's format. Everything is working perfectly. But yeah most of the reading is hard to skim through.

[cudpug]

First comment yeah! I'll watch the vid now. Just wanted to bagsy the first comment ^^

[SeraphimSwordmaster]

Hehe. Thanks for your enthusiastic support, mate.
