Quick question about FFT's PSP port. Does it give true wide screen, does it stretch or does it crop? It looks kinda cramped. I think it's 4:3, but the top and bottom are cropped to make it widescreen.

This romhack promises to unstretch the graphics, which confuses me.

I'd love to make an FFT re-balance patch since I'm not totally satisfied with the ones we got. Far as I can tell, giving FFT the 5 races of FFTA is impossible, but separating male and female jobs is by making the "bard" and "dancer" classes requirements for everything else. FFT sprites can largely be re-purposed for the patch. Jobs where the male/female look very different, can be used to create two new jobs. ie Male Ninja = Ninja, Female Ninja = Sniper. Just moving sprites around instead of making new ones. Just at the brainstorming phase and haven't tested anything out.

Basics:

>PSP version as basis
>slowdown removal patch
>Jobs based on FFTA versions
>some ideas from other balance patches
>aiming for balance (some battles harder, some easier)
>has to work on real hardware
>reduce the knight/archer/ dominance in story battles
>KISS
>thematically keep true to the series without going fan fic-y.
>very provisional and subject to change

Some problems:

>some nice units don't have good sprites to use (Templar, Gladiator, Arcanist, Seer, Red Mage)
>have to cut jobs I like due to space (Beast master, Master Monk, Trickster, Seer)
>Not sure what to do with Onion Knights and Dark Knights

What should be done with special units?

>romhacks for the game are in ppf format

lol that basically confirms the game is just running emulation of the Playstation game right? It's nto even a proper port! And it's not even good emulation either, as there's slowdown that fans had to fix. Plus there's that flowery pseudo-shakespeare dialogue.

What a joke of a port.

GBA was 2001, DS was 2004. Piss off.

any tactic game

Alright guys, I'm about to play Final Fantasy Tactics WOTL patched for slowdown and I'm not seeing how the complaints about resolution for this are justified. It doesn't look like they stretched 4:3 to 16:9, it looks like they zoomed out.

Was that just autism or is it a legit thing
