3 new high quality colorizations of SaGa games in less than a week.

The creator has mentioned two more releases incoming, one of them appears to be Gargoyle's Quest, and I'm hoping that the last will be Legend III.

FFA is not a Saga game

Okay.
>>11997132
What do you mean?
>>
>>11997140
FFA is part of the Seiken Densetsu series.
>>
>>11997129
Reusing the exact same colour themes for all 3 makes it look like a soulless factory job

Though I like the light tones used
>>
>>11997154
Okay. So we have 2 high quality SaGa colorizations, and one Mana colorization. Thanks.

Dammit, why can they choose more NESesque or even GAMEGEAR colors?

Comparing it to the other colorization we got, it's pretty night and day.

Now that it's released like this, couldn't you just edit the palettes used yourself if you wanted to change it?
>>
>>11997129
Neat. This will give me an excuse to replay FFA. I have memories of sitting in the back seat of the car and playing it while my mom drove around town paying various bills.

Honest, I would went with NES style colors or even GAMEGEAR

Into the trash it goes. Fans need to make their own games if they want attention instead of being attention thieves
attention thief
/noun/
1. a person that can't get attention through their own merits so they steal something someone else has already created and claim ownership of

This looks pretty great, thanks. I've been looking for a reason to replay SaGa1.

Why is the new slang so melodramatic?

The FFA title screen mimicking Secret of Mana in low resolution is cute.

I feel like having the battle backgrounds be white is a mistake and can be visually off-putting. The original battle backgrounds were "white" technically but in actuality they were the color of the gameboy screen and they matched the rest of the game. Going from a dark cave to a white battle might be annoying, can anyone who tried these attest?
>>
>>11997360
Not even smart enough to draft a response to. Here's your (You), thanks for the bump.
>>
>>11997368
Dmg using a global 4 color palette allowed background tile overlay to blend better, but then the GBC had no real background color like the NES, but 8 palettes for backgrounds of 4 colors, unfortunately developers always choose the most gaudy of colors and white background color as well as white skins.

We're also looking for someone to reverse the event scripting systems for saga frontier 1.

I don't usually like GB colorization hacks, but I have to admit these look nice.

>>11997181
>my mom drove around town paying various bills
Is this a euphemism?
>>
>>11999374
It's because they don't stick to NES or even Game Gear style colors
>>
>>11999173
You don't need to get so defensive because you are such a zoomer that your brain needs to constantly maximize stimulation otherwise you get bored. Just accept it for what it is - you're a zoomer - and move on, crying about it just makes you look silly.

>>11999173

So dramatic. People are just casually shitting on it. I think you kids need other people to having these big reactions in your heads because you were raised on clickbait.

No, she used cash to pay the mortgage, the electricity bill, the phone bill, etc. We were poor and bad at managing money, which meant paying bills with cash at the last moment instead of with a check in the mail two weeks before the deadline lile readonable renters did.

I also beat Metroid 2 in that time.

Black and white is just the common way to say monochrome, you insufferable autist.
>>
>>11999639
No it isn't you ESL retard. By your logic, the original Gameboy is black and white. If you want to amend your statement that you meant monochrome then go ahead but you're staying a retard.
>>
>>11999648
it is and being insufferable and pedantic doesn't make you smart or useful
>>
>>11999648
>By your logic, the original Gameboy is black and white.
Yes, I would say the majority of people refer to it that way. No one says the Game Boy's graphics are black and green, only serious autists make that kind of correction. Most people would describe the Game Boy's graphics as black and white because most people don't use the term "monochrome" and also don't care enough to be more specific.

Old white dude here, the original gameboy is 100% black and white by our terms. We know it actually means monochrome but that sounds weird whereas black and white feels natural.

>>12000259
nah, that's not my thought. this isn't desecrating anything because data is infinite in its ability to be duplicated. this is more that when you display your copy of said work and "improve" it, expect people to not always appreciate the work. you can't invite the public to observe and then cry about some of the responses.

That's precisely the problem with recolours hacks.

When they were a new thing we got a couple of actually great ones and since then everybody thought they could do it too but does a terrible job at it and then other people are thinking "I can do it better than this terrible job!" and only does a slightly less terrible job.

I'm sorry to break it to you but picking colours that are fitting and that everyone likes isn't that simple. Even less so if you want to make it look like how devs would have done it back then.

I mean when you look at some of the "CRT filters" people use for gaming and post on this board you can tell a lot of people have shit in their eyes.

why not just play the ds remake for FFL2? It's better in every way, and has more content.
