Estpolis Denki II NTSC-JAP Prototype

That looks good so far.
By the way I'm writing a newspost on Lufiaworld about the proto right now

 

Yes looks good!

 

yeah, the size is 4096x4096px in the final game, you have to know it for reference

 

Oh My god my eyes lol

The work is hard!

Thanks for taking the time to do it, will be interesting to see just how it compares to the final overworld.

 

I'm sure it is, but you're doing a FANTASTIC job with this! Seriously, I couldn't do something like this. It's quite impressive!

 

I make this work for all the community.

I use emulator (to take screenshots) and MS Paint to make the puzzle.
I often use debug mode to pass over mountains etc...
I will continue tomorrow perhaps.
I am going to bed now.

thank you

Hello,

It's finished

The proto:

The final:

A lot of differences, if someone want to describe all changes?

Differences between proto and final:

Where is this part on the game? Place please?

 

Quick look:
- Elcid is moved South, in the final version.
- Chaed is accessible without having to use the submarine
- Gratze's island is more attached to the mainland in the proto. In the final it's more separated by water and mountains.
- the proto map looks closer to the official map artwork than the final map =P
- no Capsule Monster shrine overworld sprite for where you can find Darbi
- there's a small shrine north of the Tanbel Tower
- the three towers look different
- No vulcano sprites near the Dragon Mountain.
- Final game has more mountain sprites on the overworld, to close off parts of lands that lead nowhere in the proto. (So it's more clear to where to go next)
- Gordovan doesn't look destroyed. (in the final game it always looks destroyed on the overworld, even before Gades actually destroys it)

That puzzle you posted above does not appear in the Japanese version at all. In the NA and PAL versions it's a replacement puzzle for one of the puzzles in the treasure shrine.
That screenshot in the manual is a screenshot during the localization progress, since in the final NA version there are yellow/red blocks,not black/white blocks.

 

If I enter in Treasure Shrine perhaps i can have these pictures?

 

In the proto the area looks like the Japanese area, not the one from the NA/PAL versions.

In the NA/PAL version there are three rooms with colored blocks. In the Japanese version there are two rooms. one is empty and the other one is a big room with paths and warp tiles.
the screenshots of the proto you showed, look like the paths of the japanese final version.

Left = Final NA version
Right = Final Japanese version

 

Hey trevor, I finished making all the music files mp3 (with corrected ending times), but the .rar file is too big to send through e-mail.

 

use www.mediafire.com and send him the link (put everything in a .zip/.rar first, etc).

 

You can send me one by one on my email all musics.

@Sinrevi:

And the center:

 

Looks like they were going to have the first/final dungeon from the first game be the final dungeon this game. Wonder why they changed it?

 

Why wouldn't they have Doom Island as final dungeon in the game?

 

There I go derping out again. Apparently looking slightly different from the final game makes it a completely new location. I need to pay more attention to things.

 

Hello,

here is the proto and the final USA Lufia II game (I have baught it in 199X lol)

 

That's pretty cool! I wish I had some game boxes... Do you have the manual too? By the way, have you gotten any farther in the proto? Do you have Lexis in your party yet?

 

No manual. I have stopped play the game.
