Final Fantasy VII (7)

almighty_gir, i gotta say... ur the stupidest person i have EVER met, they can copyright the game name, but not the characters, nor the story...

if it had been like that i could have done this : i name my child Olof, and i copyright him, and if someone else use that name for their son i WILL kill them....

gotta say... DAMN ur stupid!

Hey! No need to be rude against eachother! Let´s just drop this now, ok?

Just for the record:
Yes, they could probably sue/shut down/whatever this project if they found out about it.
No, it´s definately not likely that they will.

Oh, and Slugge, that was probably one of the worst examples I have heard.

General:
I took a grip on this sueing thing that has bothered you guys(almighty_gir) and wrote an email to Square Enix(3 days ago) containing info about what we're planning on doing here, but as you said the chance that they'll respond to it soon is a looooow chance.
I can't say that there's a reason to sue us for making something that people will just spend their time with. As Zazzadar said, we can't really get sued for it since we don't charge people to play it. It's just for fun!
So almighty, I care for your concern but if it were to be like the Chrono Trigger project, then it's just how it is.

Other:
My Comp. still don't work.
And Slugge, your opinion is wierd, this is a serious subject.

yeah well my point was that noone can copyright a name.... neither the looks of one.....

Hey slugge thay cant copyright names but its this law called intellectual property. If square fell that thier property is being abused even if it is not copyrighted then they can take it to court. So they can sue but i sincerly doubt that they will.

Just liek if you tried to um...make a game called Warcrafters and the story was about demons and undead taking over the warld and orcs and night elves and then the human prince Arthoos becomes and unded tio server the lich queen who lives in a firey throne some where in southrend and there is a red barren void world called otherland blah blah blah...Blizzard could get on thier case. The difference is we are gaining no profit and the peopel who could make "warcrafters" woudl be a large company most proberbly.

hehe, sorry for being so dumb, but it looks like im not THAT dumb

i know what im talking about...

as for the rest, no im nto trying to put you down, or off, im merely telling you to be careful.

The tool I added might be of interest, it contains a decoder for all the characters in the lgp file in your FF7 directory, extract the zip and open the char.lgp file in the FF7 folder.
You will see all the models of FF7, those used on the field anyway, and all there animation, unfortunatly I don't think they can be exported but at least you can take a look at the animation and the wireframe, and of cours who and how many characters are created for FF7 ( a lot !! )

have fun.

they can be extracted, but not with that tool...and in case you havent been up to date on current events, extracting is bad mmmmkay?

AH ? with what tool they can be extracted then ? ^_^

i got the tools, but need someone with 3ds max5!

I got 3 , 5 and 6 ;)

Why you need 5 ?

Except for exporting to mdx that is.

got any live-chats? then tell me, because 3dsmax need to run a scipt to import .ASE files into it...!

What is a Live Chat, you mean MSN or something, then I'm sorry, I'm at work, since I don't have internet at home, and it is not allowed

okay.... hmmm well, DAMN really needs someone i can talk live with and has 3dsmax 5

Almighty_gir you are right and i dont believe i ever said straight off you were wrong i may have questioned a few time but still.

But evidently (my new favorite word ^_^ ) we dont really care lol. Sides if they slap us with a warning im stopping lol cus eveidently im not in the mood for getting sued at 14 (15 on march 5th yay) :P
