Final Fantasy Time and Again by Azrael & Sephiroth X

The world is in a state of flux. The Baron Army, the most powerful nation in the world, has inexplicably begun attacks against other nations in a blitzkrieg attempt to gather all of the Crystals of the Elements. While the people of Baron are confused, their King is well loved for his service to the people up to this point. As his support dwindles, attacks come out in larger force, with the Dark Knights, Dragoons, and the Baron Red Wing airship fleet coming out in more violent shows of force each time.

In the midst of this, a loyal Dragoon of the Baron Army, a half-demon orphan of Mysidia, and an unbalanced Psionic wanderer will meet, their fates locked together until the end of this madness, and will begin a constant struggle for peace...

Final Fantasy Time and Again is a fangame based on the world and some events of Final Fantasy IV. The characters of that game will appear from time to time, but the game focuses on the four core characters of the game. Like Kain, the protagonist Azrael is a Dragoon and the game closely resemble the original source game, sending the party of original characters all around the world and making them interact with the various characters seen before. Expect dungeons, puzzles and battles.

Random Fact: this is one of the few FF fangames that includes a working Jump attack mechanic. It's cumbersome but well integrated into the Rpgmaker 2003 system.

Final Verdict: this is a brillian fangame that while incomplete, it's 8-10 hours long. Mapping is pretty good and it really represent a case of well made fangame and entertaining story that involves new characters inside a familiar setting.

Fantasy of the Hearts by outlander145

Jurven... a reasonably normal man, if not a bit snide in his mannerisms. He must make a rough decision: saving humanity from a fate worse than death, or cryogenic stasis (apparently). Well, while cryogenics may take several decades to be discovered, one thing is for sure. The doors of the Mind have been placed in harm's way. Final Hearts, the interconnecting chamber to the mind has been penetrated deeply... and its security, compromised. Two omnipotent beings have altered the very reality of the Mind's fabric weave, with colors on whites, and bleach on color..

Roy Latrice, Jurven's supposed friend, is merely a pawn in this dilemma. In being possessed, Roy fears for his inevitable insanity. The end result: drug consumption. While not only an extremely idiotic decision, this also proves incredibly useless. Jurven, practically the last man standing within Earth's shattered reality, has been chosen to mend the Mind's fabric for reasons even he is unsure of.

Roy opens a portal to a land beyond time, imagination, and budget costs. Especially the Fourth Wall.

Fantasy of the Hearts is a parody/fangame of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, in fact our hero, Jurven, will be joined by some popular Square Enix characters. The game itself is basically a classic jrpg with battles, levels and party management, the main appeal are the weird situations and funnly dialogues.

Random Fact: this game is basically a remake of Final Hearts, a game posted on the Gaming World forums that received terrible reviews. This is better, I assure you.

Final Verdict: this game is basically a joke based on the title screen and not much more, so do not expect this to be a good old style fnatasy rpg. It's instead a silly and humorous little game with some funny moments, but that shouldn't be taken seriously!

Fall of Nosgoth by Ascare

This game lets us play as Raziel, the protagonist of some games of the Legacy of Kain series, such as for example Soul Reaver I and II, and Defiance. This game is a prequel that starts when Raziel is resurrected by a mysterious entity that tells him to search for a man named Garib: this is clearly another undead that may instruct Raziel on what happened before his death. Anyway this is just the beginning of a quest that will take him travelling through time...

Fall of Nosgoth is a retelling of the adventures of Raziel: the game is pretty much linear and includes lots of custom art and some peculiar exploration segments where Raziel has to climb or float with his broken wings. Combat ir pretty low powered and there are no experience points nor levels, but all battles are fixed, there are no avoidable opponents nor random encounters. Raziel can heal eating the souls of the defeated enemies that will roam the maps after their defeat.

The game was originally made in german and then translated into english, unfortunately it's just a 40 minutes demo.

Random Fact: the game uses different dialogue boxes, the green and red ones are used for dialogues, while the blue ones represent the thoughts.

Final Verdict: an unfortunately short and linear game. The visuals are probably the most important thing since it's all original and well done, the game is dark and creepy while staying faithful to its fantasy setting. Combat is probably the lass satysfing part since Raziel (and the other playale character) has only a standard attack and a special attack.

Metal Gear Solid: Lunacy of Legion by Zephyr

You are Solid Snake - master of stealth and overcoming situations concerning huge, warhead-equipped robots.

Now part of the anti-Metal Gear group Philanthropy, you are dispatched to deal with a rumored Metal Gear under development in the region of Mandora.
Will you - Snake - be able to stop this possible threat?
Or will the bad guys have it their way?
Or more importantly, will you be home back for dinner?

This is a Metal Gear-fangame, uses graphical and game-mechanical similarities with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The game is in real-time and mainly features stealth but also includes boss battles where combat is mandatory. The game merges two different gameplays in a very effective way, making a solid stealth adventure that's also pretty challenging. There are five difficulty levels.

Gameplay Instructions

Random Fact: the game is a parody of the Metal Gear games, and while it features some well known protagonists like Snake and Otacon, it adds some humorous dialogues and situations. But the stealth action is instead very serious, so it's still not a joke game.

Final Verdict: Metal Gear Solid: Lunacy of Legion" was probably a bold (and fun) experiment, and while not perfect, the result is in my opinion pretty good: this is a cool, imperfect and cute parody of Metal Gear mixed with Zelda. The game has some minor issues (like for example at a certain point I was not sure about where I was supposed to go) and some problems due to the imperfections of the engine, but if you do not take this game too seriously, I'm sure you can have some fun!

The Adventures of Manabat by Klown

The story follows the eccentric protagonist, Manabat the superhero who is the secret identity of ManaMoon. The gameplay leans heavily into a point-and-click adventure style rather than a traditional combat-heavy jrpg. Instead of leveling up through battles, you progress by solving inventory puzzles, interacting with quirky NPCs, and completing various mini-games scattered throughout the world.

This is a classic Rpgmaker comedy RPG created by the developer Klown on the Rpgmaker 2000 engine. Originally released in 2003, this charming freeware title is highly regarded in the Brazilian and broader Rpgmaker community for its unique humor and entertaining mini-games.

Random Fact: all the main characters in this game are notorious developers of many different rpgmaker games that are presented in the intro, and the main character, Manabat, is none other than ManaMoon, the developer of the game posted yesterday.

Final Verdict: a fun community game with lots of humor and many different minigames.

Touhou-A-Live by Koki

Hong Meiling, rehoning her skills under a new mentor.
A Shanghai doll, coming home from an expedition to the moon.
Mokou Fujiwara, investigating a series of kidnappings.
Cirno, always fighting to be the strongest.
Youmu Konpaku, determined to take back Hakugyokurou.
A fuzzy Kedama, who one day encounters a crow.
A nameless fox, wandering the west.
Seven heroes of their own stories, all across Gensokyo.
But... what is it that makes a hero?

This is a crossover between Live-A-Live and Touhou. Completed in 2008 by Koki and translated by vgperson, this can really show what you can do with RPG Maker 2003.

As you can probably guess, it's a combination of Touhou and the (formerly) Japan-only SNES RPG Live-A-Live. It includes, like the game it parodies, a series of scenarios set in different locations with different protagonists.

Rpgmaker Archive

Random Fact: the game includes some really unusual dungeons, Shang's Bonus Dungeon, which involves solving math equations and the Wisdom Dungeon, where you have to answer 3 sets of 10 quiz questions, and have to answer enough questions correctly in each set to proceed without fighting a miniboss. The third asks for obscenely obscure answers.

Final Verdict: If you are a Live-A-Live fan, there is no need to read any farther, DOWNLOAD NOW. Secrets and multiple endings abound. The game is stylisticallly unique and really showcases the power and diversity of RPGMaker. I should note the difficulty in parts of the game can be high, so consulting some resources like Let's Play on youtube or this blog is suggested.

Space Attorney by Superstroke & riderx40

Eris is a young attorney who worked in the purgatory for several years, until one day he became the accused in a rather weird case that left him in the spot. Can Eris win this trial with his friends or he will be sentenced to the blackhole for eternity?

Space Attorney is a little visual novel made for the 2016 Swapsie event by two developers: Superstroke made the first half and riderx40 the second. It's a very strange visual novel with surreal elements since it's about a lawyer that works in Purgatory that gets in trouble with aliens. Yeah. The game is short but very stylish, combining cutscenes with black-and-white silouhuettes to colorful slides.

Random Fact: while this is TECHNICALLY a fangame and parody of Ace Attorney it's so detached from the source material that you don't need to know anything (except maybe that it's about a lawyer!), I mean it's a different game, there aren't cameos of characters from the series nor there is anything that relates to it. Probably it was just a pun on the title.

Final Verdict: Space Attorney was a game I probably found while looking for Ace Attorney fangames, but well this game is really not what I expected. Well I'm not sure anyone can expect something from this game, that's really peculiar, original and unique adventure, surely not without flaws but probably this can be excused being this an event game also done by two different developers. That's not easy!
So if you want to play a bizarre interactive visual novel ("so bad it's so good")... you won't be disappointed! Unrefined, but wildly awesome.

Rezident Evil - it is Escape by twentyfour24

Jill Valentine and Tom are escaping the Umbrella on a train, and have to run away and find salvations, fighting zombies, ninjas, demons and russian soldiers, visiting laboratories and sex clubs, meeting various celebrities and solving some puzzles. Oh and do not forget the haunting presence of Matt LeBlanc...

Their mission: IT IS ESCAPE.

Will you help them survive the horror?

REISE is a bizarre mess that shouldn’t have been made.

Rezident Evil - it is Escape is a 5-7 hours bizarre adventure inspired to Resident Evil: the game starts with an escape on a train and then leads to a series of bizarre situations and locations with quirky characters, various puzzles and minigames. It's a really unique bizarre adventure that still includes classic rpgmaker battles, many secrets and features. Really impressive.

Warning: the game includes violence, some pixellated gore and other sensitive themes.

Random Fact: the game was originally planned as a serious fangame of Resident Evil, sequel of another fangame made in 2003. But as the developer said, this gradually mutated into a Matt LeBlanc infested fever dream.

Final Verdict: this... uh... parody game is a bizarre beast: you can say that this is trash, but it cannot be denied that a lot of effort (and love) made this game highly playable and somewhat entertaining. It may be cheesy, but it's not bugged, boring or awful at all. Even if humor can be considered tasteless of even offensive, even if you won't like the non-sense or when things near the end get political, there's a certain charm, a flash of brillance and some clever features in this work, that makes me understand that many flaws were left on purpouse. It's a dark and weird game about a dark and bizarre, confusing world, but it jokes and laughs about it.

FF: Endless Nova by Delita Hyral X

The game follows the exploits of Deren Star, an odd jobs person who, along with his android companion Motor, is unexpectedly pulled into an adventure to save Hell's Dome, a solar system surrounded by an impenetrable asteroid belt from an artificial supernova. Along the way he meets a number of companions who all end up helping him for some reason or another; Lisbeth, an amnesiac girl with cat ears, a thief named Ibis, a Blue Mage named Ellana, a monk named Fuban, and a walking, talking doll named KioSen, who used to be human.

FF: EN was made in RM2K and focuses on making a fangame that has the spirit of the series without treading on the story of already established game worlds. In fact, that is one of the greatest points about the game - that it creates the feel of a Final Fantasy game without having to use the story and characters of other Final Fantasy games before it.

An interesting detail is that the custom levelling system is taken from Final Fantasy 2, where what you did in battle determined your stat upgrades. It's very different from other FF games, but that is where it comes from.

The graphics are a hodge-podge of rips, RTP and custom, maps do suffer from the typical large map syndrome, sadly, but as was usual of the era in which it was made, most attention was focussed on story and systems and this game pulls both off quite well. There are a few different kind of custom systems in play and any player will find something interesting to take away from the game.

If needed you can find a walkthrough here: https://indiefaqs.com/index.php/FinalFantasyEndlessNovaWalkthrough

Youtube Playthrough

Random Fact: in 2021 ReloadPsi released an fan-updated version with more dialogues, rebalanced battles, bug fixes and more. You may get this version from the links below:

Final Verdict: With an epic tale and a nice setting, maybe not always presented in the best way, Final Fantasy: Endless Nova is still an impressive work of love and a good game to play still now that there are lots of similar games. This is original but still faitful to the genre and I had fun playing it despite some "clunky" design choices. The game is also old, so sprites and charsets aren't probably as good as those that can be found today (those from the Record Keeper would be better, for example), but the author did a great job with the few resources available.
This is a classic, and surely one of the best, if not THE best of the Final Fantasy themed Rpgmaker games available!

The Garland Enigma by Rodpop

Garland, the main antagonist in Final Fantasy, is going to be defeated once again by the Warriors of Lights: in fact he lives a loop where the heroes defeat him each time. But NOT this time! The power of the Dark Orb and a mysterious helper make him able to win the final battle. However he then wakes up somewhere in a dungeon with no memories except of his own name... what is going on?

The Garland Enigma, originally named The Garland Empire, is a humorous fangame, and a parody of the source material: we play as a single character, whose class can be chosen among those of the first Final Fantasy, and then the game becomes a classic Rpgmaker adventure with some optional minigames included. The game uses edits from FF but also music from other games, for example Mortal Kombat.

Random Fact: in the beginning, even before the prologue starts, we have to choose the composition of the Warriors of Light. Mind that even if the game does not explain this, the first class we will choose is the class of the first character and our alter ego that we play in the game when the real adventure starts.

Final Verdict: a parody, not just of FF, but of the whole jrpg genre. Very entertaining, unfortunately incomplete, like most of the games by Rodpop.

X-Men Untitled by BongHenry

Beast, the blue feral X-man discovers that the X-mansion is under attack: thus begins his adventure to find and recruit the other X-Men around the world and save Professor X from Magneto's evil clutches.In fact with the help of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Colossus, Iceman and Professor X he will have to face various supercriminals before facing Magneto.

The game begins immediately after a presentation with no instructions, even if as expected you've to use the classic keys: arrows to move, Z to attack, X or Esc to open the menu. The menu lets us switch character, each one with his or her own health bar. The inventory is shared so when we select one character we may press Z to select e control it, or Esc to open the menu and equip gear and use consumables and healing items to that particular party member. Please remember that IF a single party member dies it's game over, no matter if all the others are unharmed!

The game includes minigames (for example when Cyclops has to shield the X-mansion destroying the items thrown by Magneto), puzzles (like levers and switches you have to activate shooting at them) and boss battles that require some thinking (for example Mystique takes damage ONLY when in her (blue) form OR when she has the same form of your character, otherwise she's invulnerable).

Youtube Playthrough

Random Fact: the game has also some odd things, some good like the references to the developer's other Rpgmaker game about Lord of the Rings (a girl will try to sell you the book, and there are also televisions that display Gollum's face!) and some just weird like a plethora of different animals attacking the X-men in the various levels, like goats and squirrells! (I'm ok with fighting snakes and wolves besides zombies and mutant ninjas... but squirrels? Seriously?).

Final Verdict: X-men; untitled is a game that has an interesting concept and some good ideas, like the minigames and some puzzle elements that are cleverly implemented, unfortunately the battle system, due to Rpgmaker 2000 bad AI and limitations, is a bit of a chore. Pity, good idea but as usual rpgmaker proves to be a game better suited for jrpgs or adventure games (usually not even the horror chase sections are good due to the limits of the engine and Ai, so you can imagine how bad can be an arcade fighting game), maybe it would have been better with higher damage and/or less health for both enemies and playable characters, I would have not minded a more lethal experience if this also meant shorter battles, because as it is there is really no use to fight random enemies, it's just a waste of time. At least the healing spots are placed well, but I'd have not minded also finding some mid-level save points, even if it's true that levels aren't that long.

Mugen Legends - Hokutomaru by taima matsumushi

Hokutomaru is the student of Andy Bogart in the Fatal Fury series. He first appeared in Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and he is the protagonist of this game. The adventure begins with Andy scolding his pupil for being lazy, and sends him to collect groceries at the nearby Tazawa Village. However the bandits of Earthquake's gang are roaming the region. However the confrontation with the members of the Mad Gear gang will soon be inevitable.

Mugen Legends - Hokutomaru starts selecting the version of Hakutumaru you prefer, Slash or Bust, one is more defensive and has more ability points, the other is faster and more offensive, in any case there isn't a lot of difference. The game is a linear adventure rpg with the occasional choice, and includes three missions and one sidequest. Combat uses the classic Rpgmaker system, but it's fast and lethal, so it's preferable to have a good number of healing items and consumables and grind a little, since saving is limited to some locations. The graphics are the strong point of the game, that includes some optional cutscenes and randomized dream sequences that may explain more about the past events and the background of the protagonist.

Random Fact: the game includes characters for almost every fighting game: we have Hokutomaru and Andy from the Fatal Fury series, Earthquake, Ukyo and Haomaru from the Samurai Shodown series, Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat, the various bosses from Final Fight, Ryu from Street Fighter, and other characters from Waku Waku 7, Ninja Masters and World Heroes.

Final Verdict: although the graphics are sometimes a little mismatched due to the rips from games with different styles (not to mention that Earthquake's charset has a standard size, while he is a giant of man. And I've already found another game that used a bigger charset for him) the fast combat and movement makes this game fun even if pretty challenging from what concerns some battle encounters.

Steel Spirit SaGa by Pyramid Head

In the year 1306, after several gruelling wars, the world leaders of Sandail held a summit, and unanimously agreed to sign an international peace treaty. And as pen was put to paper, swords clashed in a far off corner of the world as The Knights Family fought valiantly to destroy the diabolical quell known as The Egg. An artefact that reveled in the bloodshed as it absorbed the anima of those who fell in battle. And over the course of one day, Sandail was finally enshrouded in the tranquility that came with peace.

Now 100 years later, the once benevolent Finney Empire has turned its back on the Peace Treaty. And as war looms on the horizon, four heroes brought together by destiny will be thrown into the conflict, and tested against all odds.

Meanwhile, in the midst of all this. A strange person who carries the name of a Hero of legend appeared. Has he a hand in the oncoming devestation that will sweep the land? Or is he too, just another pawn of fate?

Steel Spirit SaGais a classic Rpgmaker adventure rpg with a fantasy setting. It offer dungeons with puzzles, battles and sidequests. It's nothing particularly original but surely well made and with interesting graphics.

Internet Archive

Random Fact: Steel Spirit SaGa is a fan-made sequel to SaGa Frontier 2 (Though you won't have to play SF2 in order to understand the story) that is divided into 4 scenarios. Originally Steel Spirit SaGa was going to be an entirely different game altogether. But then the developer made it a sequel.

Final Verdict: a pretty cool game, I 'm not a fan of SaGa Frontier, still I had fun with it. If you are a fan of the series, that's probably even better!

Alternate - Virus of Ragnarök by Rosa Canina (german)

Tomoya Okazaki's story has been a long and arduous journey. The girl from Kyoto, the daughter of an alcoholic former star lawyer, had lived her entire life as a boy. Only when she accidentally saved a goddess one night did she regain her true body. But this unwanted gender swap plunged her deeper and deeper into a feud between her family and the gods.

Finally, when AVoR begins, she believes she can finally end the feud... only to find herself stranded in a strange, primeval forest minutes later. Together with a few friends, she embarks on a journey spanning time and dimensions, always searching for the truth behind this strange voyage and always racing against time. For the power that beats within Tomoya harbors another, terrible secret.

Will Tomoya Okazaki ever find her way home? Why was she hurled through space and time in the first place? Why are so many of her old friends also in this time, regardless of whether they were involved in the feud or not? And will she really find answers to these questions in Tokyo, at this strange organization that calls itself a "faction"?

Alternate - Virus of Ragnarök is a card based rpg with an epic story and many characters involved. The game uses a mix of classic RTPS, edits, rips and custom made CGs to the maximum effects. Lots of custom menus, systems, minigames and puzzles, for many hours of adventure. It's pretty much impressive under every aspect.

In fact in 2012 the game obtained the following RPG Atelier Goldener Deiji awards:

- Best Plot

- Best Production

- Best Female Lead Character

- Best Animations

- Best Artworks

- Best Graphic

- Best Gameplay

- Best Turn Based Combat System

- Best Dungeon Design

- Best Minigame

Youtube Playthrough

Random Fact: this is a fangame based on the Clannad japanese visual novel series by the software company Key, and focuses on the final parts of the Tomoya saga. The game includes also many cameos of Type-Moon characters.

Final Verdict: a masterpiece. Lots of content, original combat system and impressive animations and cutscenes, it really shines and shows what can be done with Rpgmaker 2003. If you speak german you will enjoy this game.

FF: Cry to Heaven by P0sitr0nic Productions

For generations, the lands of Corsica have been plagued by monsters, known as the Horde. The source of the Horde is the Maelstrom, a storm of great magnitude and evil.
In an effort to save the lands, the royal De'Carthani family has raised a fleet of ships to enter the Maelstrom and stop the Horde at its source. Unfortunately things do not go as well as expected, because the fleet is ambushed by some obscure creatures.

Lilian De'Carthani, the princess daughter of the king of Corsica, after shipwrecking find herself lost in an unknown land. However she's a promising red mage, trained in both the arts of magic and combat, and she is determined to reach home. With the help of new associates like Bailey the Chocobo and some old friends like Arcius the royal mage she'll try to stop the Horde menace once for all.

FF: Cry to Heaven follows the same formula of FF: Shattered Lands: is a pretty linear stand alone story that takes inspiration from the series, creating another FF-lite andventure. It's not very difficult, and this time the plot seems to be a little more original than the one of the previous game from P0sitr0nic Productions, even if it's the classic story of heroes against the force of darkness. This time the game also seems to have a more high-fantasy and less techno-fantasy setting.

Official P0sitr0nic Productions Site (Wayback Machine)

Random Fact: the multi-claw attack of Bailey the Chocobo is overpowered: has a cost of zero and hits all enemies for much more damage than the standard attack. So why shall we use the standard attack at all?

Final Verdict: another homage to the FF series, again not very long and with four main characters plus few guest characters. More of the same, but still good!

FF: Shattered Lands by P0sitr0nic Productions

Jev is a young boy and promising swordsman that dreams to become a hero, so he joins the Filburn army. The Kingdom of Filburn is in fact at war with the Republic of Malrol: the Kingdom has advanced to a technological level that allowed the people of Filburn to fly airships, while the Malrolans were still developing such technologies, however the Emperor intends to acquire the resources of the Malrolans that started to fight back. Jev, meeting Marla the mage, Gervas the artificer and Kupak the Moogle will travel all around the land to bring the war to an end.

FF: Shattered Lands wasn't probably the first Final Fantasy fangame, still it's one of the few that was completed, and the first made by P0sitr0nic Productions. The second is FF: Cry to Heaven, but it's a stand alone story so I'll post it another time. Now, Shattered Lands is a linear fantasy jrpg, and almost a FF-lite since it's a shorter and more compact game compared to the source of inspiration. It's not bad, even if the plot seems a mix of FFVI and FFVII and it's also pretty easy. Try it here:

Official P0sitr0nic Productions Site (Wayback Machine)

Random Fact: while the game uses edits of the charsets from FFVI, there are some custom elements. For example Jev fights using the Buster Sword, Cloud Strife's trademark weapon, that appeared only in FFVII. There are also some unused resources, probably cut from the game, like Jev using a snowboard or a trio of agents in black suits that remind of the Turks. These assets weren't used in the final game.

Final Verdict: this game is a homage to the FF series, and has some references to the older games. It's not very long, has only four party members except for the guest characters, anyway it's solid, even if quite simple and easy.

Final Fantasy: The Phoenix Prophecies by Madriel222

Nickel Arand is a highly trained swordsman from the planet Miidrio with the mission to assassinate the Emperor of Nafein. The adventure starts inside a spaceship, in fact Nickel belongs to a very advanced civilization, compared to the primitive world where his mission will take place. Nickel reaches Nafein posing as a taveller, but infiltrating the keep and reaching the Emperor will be more difficul than he expects…

Final Fantasy: The Phoenix Prophecies is a fangame inspired by the popular series. Surprisingly this game uses a real-time combat system with a single playable character, that's pretty vague and probably the weakest part of the game (avoiding the enemies is easier!). In any case it seems that there were also three companions for Nickel, but the first joins at the end of the demo, so we do not know how they would support him in combat. For the rest we have puzzles, stealth sections, optional sidequests and some investigation, adding some features to a game that's interesting but also pretty short. The graphics are nice, and there are some unexpected details, like the sounds of the protagonist's steps that changes depending on which material he is walking on (stone, metal, etc).

Random Fact: if you played any Final Fantasy game, you probably know that Gil is the name of the currency used in all games. This fangame makes no exception, however our protagonist, that comes from another planet, in the beginning oddly tries to pay with dollars! And no, dollars do not appear in any Final Fantasy game.

Final Verdict: I wasn't a fan of the realtime combat, and I avoided it entirely, and I wasn't also a fan of the final puzzle, but aside for these two inconveniences, I found the story pretty interesting and maps well made and rich of details. A peculiar fangame.
