EDIT: Pictures are down, for one reason or another. I'll link them to my own site in a bit. Till then... use your imagination.

Well, Saugh announced he wanted to do this awhile ago. However, 3 things happened:

-He seems to forgot about it (which isn't a bad thing, I'm just impatient, lol)
-There hasn't been any new FFCC info in decades.
-My mind is refusing to do these journal entries I have to complete before school.

So, I'll now do a brief analysis of the screenshots shown in the FFCC:RoF trailer. Note that you can comment on this at anytime with your own input. And yes, I know these screens say FF3. Nintendo is retarded.


The star of the brief RoF trailer seems to be this young archer girl. What race she is, however, isn't known, though a clavat would be probable. This might suggest that Clavats and other races may be able to equip more than just one type of weapon this time around (since Clavats use to weild swords). Also, the addition of an archer in the FFCC series is already a big addition, so prepare yourself for some pimped out looking bows and some cool looking charge attacks.



What's significant about this picture? Two things: jumping. The archer girl is seen leaping from ledges and such throughout the trailer, so we can expect all new types of terrain in the upcoming game. And those graphics aren't all that bad for a work in-progress video, eh?


When everyone saw this part of the trailer, they instantly thought "Chalice!" But upon closer examination, it doesn't seem to be much of a chalice at all. And didn't the characters use to bounce the chalice on their heads, not push it? Oh, and there's a liltie in the game as well. They look a little bit younger than in the past... but hey, lilties were pretty adorable back then anyways.


Crab monster! Eek! Looks like the boss of River Belle Path from FFCC comes back for revenge... expect some old FFCC enemies and remixed bosses along the way in RoF. And once again, don't these graphics look pretty good? And to think that they'll be better by the time the game launches...


Due to the quality of the screenshot and the fact that this is pretty far away, it's hard to tell. But it's either one of two things: 1) This liltie is casting a spell, suggesting that the best spellcasters won't just be limited to yukes this time around, or 2) He's holding a bow, proving my theory that you can choose different types of weapons per race. Time will tell.


Magicite is back? Look likes it. Expect the same type of system as before, possibly using the bottom screen to switch up magic combinations on the go. And notice the snowy landscape? Yay for snow enviroments! Oh, there's also a ladder. But now that we can jump, that can be expected.


Look in the far back right corner! Looks like a yuke, eh? Anyways, we get to see multiple characters fighting some... brown monsters... eh, once again, due to lack of screenshot quality it's kind of hard to tell. Anyways, at least we now have 3 of the 4 FFCC races accountable. Where's the selkies!?

That's it for now. Comment, rant, etc. Either way, FFCC:RoF already looks promising. And yay jumping.

I'm glad RoF is getting some love on the boards. Great screens.

I bet we will get many more screens come TGS or a few days before.

Nice find and great things you're pointed out in them.

Extremely good analysis, Blackhawk.
