This mod was a great idea that I was looking forward to.
However...
I understand this was made back in 2012, HOWEVER, did you even play FF6? Majority of these models are complete garbage especially in terms of you didn't even come close. I'm sorry but this is an honest review that I hope you take as constructive criticism. Here are some basic suggestions for starters:
Terra - You just gave a female some green hair. ... That's it? No outfit? No esper form? (make her randomly go werewolf but change color pallet to pink) Shadow - He's a NINJA!!! You didn't even give him a mask. And Dark Brotherhood clothes? Dude's outfit is black / blue.... Locke - Not terrible, but minimum effort was made. Has altered hair and a bandana. Celes - Waaaay too tan and hair is not blonde enough. Her nose is a lot pointier too and some earrings or white armor and cloak would be a nice touch. Sabin - This guy looks more like Wakka from FFX. Make him more pale, remove the facial hair, and give him a rat-tail or mullet at least. Edgar - Remove ... what is that? A goatee? Wtf? Remove facial hair, give him a ponytail, and some blue armor. Hell give him Ulfric's costume cause that's close enough for minimum effort I suppose. Relm and Gau - THEY'RE KIDS. Give them children models ffs. Kudos for giving Relm a bandana and for making Gau tan - makes sense being tan ause he lived in the wilderness forever. Mog - You tried. I dig that you went with Khajiit but using an animal model woulda been more accurate. How about a white bunny? That's honestly closer than the crap the author of this mod tried to pull off for a Moogle. Strago - An old man. Yup. Nailed it. Umaro - I agree 100% with CoinFlip's comment - Make him a Frost Troll. Like honestly at this point in making the mod it's obvious that zero fucks were given. Setzer - I ain't even mad. Not too shabby but I'd make his hair more grey if you can. General FREAKING Leo - Sorry my guy but Leo is black. Try again. Darill - I mean yeah that's fine but she is never a party member in FF6. You get a flashback, that's it. It'd be more appropriate to make Gogo or the Ghost instead of her. Cyan - A stereotype Asian. So easy to replicate. You missed the mark. You know there are face presets in the game that make a character look at least somewhat oriental right? Use those. All you did for this guy was give him handlebar mustache.
Last but not least INTERCEPTOR....... HE'S A DOBERMAN!! Not a damn Siberian Husky. You're telling there wasn't a single doberman mod or color swap when you made this mod?
I really do hope that you take the time in your life to sit down and actually play FF6. Such an amazing game. Overall good idea but damn this is a terrible attempt of a mod. 2 / 10.
well, thanks for this mod, i really like all the little details, and some of the outfits look pretty fine of course, there is room for improvement:
terra: her hair looks way too unnatural, you should use a less flashy green... oh and is she supposed to use the normal werewolf form form? (if she has a custom esper one, it's not working here) sabin: he's alright, even if the facial hair looks a bit off celes: she looks fine, the headband is lacking, but that's not really important locke: good, even if i'm not fine of the forced bandanna (this mod adds some: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20900 ) shadow: he should focus on daggers imo, his skin should be a really dark blue and you shouldn't be able to see his face (newermind's drow armor set would look great on him) oh and he should have a (memento) ring cyan: he should also be skilled with 1 handed swords (and you forgot blocking), also, a (small) bonus to attack speed gau: he should be a lot skinnier and a bit smaller (he's almost a kid after all), maybe giving him some werewolf bonuses/attacks would do well. oh and his haircut looks meh, he's supposed to have really long hair setzer: the hair is just a big no. his face looks really too effeminate, he shouldn't have facial hair, but he should have scars, a paler skin, oh and as someone said the thalmor robes will look better on him. oh, and a wabbajack breath/power would be awesome edgar: looks fine, he should use greataxes (spears) and his crossbow should have a greater speed gogo: nice, even if her armor looks too "tight to the skin" relm: she should be a child! you'd have to make her way shorter if you don't want to use the child race (also give her the same ring as shadows) strago: his beard is a bit too short, you forgot the mohawk (and he's not supposed to be one-eyed, even if it could be my eye mod doing that) mog: too tall, no pompom (oh whatever you call that red ball above his head). the Executioner's Hood actually gives him an ok head shape, but you'd have to retexture it as it has a lot of clipping. oh and he should be using greataxes (spears) umaro: no. making him a frost troll animal follower is the only thing that makes sense (and it's probably doable using the default dog AI) general leo: he should be a redguard, and have a breath weapon (the best would be a thunder ball, but i don't think that's in the game) darill: really nice siegfried: he should have a full helmet, that's about it ultros: i laughed at that one, you should remove/remplace him (by kappa the imp?) interceptor: you said it yourself, it's just a clone of another dog, he won't follow you (well at least not me, but he should be following shadow anyway) and he's not supposed to wear an armor. just use the default dog with higher stats (this mod transforms dog into wolves and adds a few retextures: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1724 ) kefka: the jester clothes would look better on him oh and maybe a version where the equipment isn't locked would be good
This is the final release of this mod, there will be no more updates with regards to character/stat changes. I recommend people to use other armor mods, as I DO NOT do armor mods.
Several of the things you pointed out are not accurate... but I am not looking for an arguement here. Perhaps you should explore their perks in the creation kit which I have given them. In particular Shadow who has one-handed, backstab, and assassinblade perks, which are the ones for daggers.
With regards to Relm, I have indicated this is 8 years after ff6... so no she is no longer a child.
Might as well suggest a mod. Many people don't like the game Dragon age, but I think It would be amazing if someone could create a Fenris for Skyrim, Same voice acting, same armor, same markings, I would be grateful to whoever takes the time to create a detailed Fenris follower! Thanks!
Wow. Thanks for taking the time to explain that Dragonborn is required. I would have loved to know that BEFORE I updated to the latest version and had to completely reinstall the old one. I absolutely love this mod, but it drives me insane when people don't properly list all requirements to run them.
Dragonborn was not set to a requirement... I am guessing though that since I have dragonborn myself and the mod has been updated since I got it, the mod therefore requires it as well. This I did not know.
