True, but it *is* a cave. :) I just thought it was a tad bright in there. :)

If you do reshoot the old stories, I'd suggest using the old forms for the
elementals. That way, it shows that they got more powerful between stories.

True, but Final Fantasy puts the spell name in a little textbox at the top of
the screen. ;)

Thanks!! I really hope the camera will work well enough for me to start work
on a story. :)
It's been about ten years since I made those airships... I made them for a
Lego-Final Fantasy "game" (not really a game, since there weren't any rules or
anything, and I didn't play it with anyone) I made. Had a bunch of monsters 'n
stuff, and just had loads of fun (Forestmen made cool imps. ^_^). I even made
a replica of FFIV's Hovercraft. :)

Oh, I never thought of that... I may have to try that at some point. :)

Ouch!! I hate when something like that happens! :(

I'm here to help! :)

P.S. Some news for the Final Fantasy fans: At some point this year, Square
will release a "Final Fantasy Anthology 2" for the Playstation, containing
Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger (where Chrono Trigger comes into it, I
don't know, but I ain't complaining!!). Also, Square plans to make this the
"Year of Final Fantasy," rereleasing all the previous games in updated formats.
The first three will be on Bandai's handheld, the Wonderswan Color; no platform
known yet for the second three (since Nintendo flat-out said they won't let
Square develop for the Gameboy Advance); and the third three will be updated
for the PS2. No info yet as to whether any of them will make it over here to
the US, though. I personally am hoping Bandai releases the Wonderswan Color
here in the US so I can play the updated versions of FFI-III! :)
