Final Fantasy VI

Okay. This has been bugging me for some time now, and I really, really want to find a solid answer to it.

In FF6 (or 3 for those who don't recognize it) What kind of legs to the Magitek Armor units have? And I'm not talking about the dragon-like ones from the computer generated FMV, I'm talking about the in-game sprited ones. Are they normal jointed legs like us, or are they reverse jointed like a chicken? Or is it something else altogether?

I've spent hours examining all the sprites from the game and even what little fan art exists for the M-tek's, but still the legs are a mystery to me.

Wyborn · 02-03-2006, 08:56 PM

I always thought reverse-jointed.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 02-05-2006, 08:09 PM

I'm siding with Wy on this one. The way the 'feet' are "attached" seems to lend to the legs being reverse-jointed.

Wyborn · 02-05-2006, 08:24 PM

Absolutely. Also, if you look at the concept art for them, they're reverse-jointed.

Tritoch · 02-06-2006, 12:16 PM

Yep, that was my impression too.

Erdawn Il Deus · 02-06-2006, 06:06 PM

Reverse-jointed, cept on the early cutscene where they walk through the snow. But that was cool so we don't care.

**Loot** · 02-06-2006, 08:37 PM

Magitek Armor Walkers own completely. That's all I have to add.

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-10-2006, 03:27 PM

I always thought Magitek Armor legs operated similar to those of the AT-PTs in Star Wars.

And yes, Magitek Armors are the best machines in ANY game excluding maybe some of the Metroid ones.

Geno · 02-13-2006, 08:27 AM

Yes, it was that opening terk to Narshe which confused me the most, but thank you all for your input! I've been working on this for a few days now, and am quite pleased with the results. Here are a couple shots of my project.

Wyborn · 02-13-2006, 12:59 PM

Holy crapspackle! What is this? It kicks ass!

The Willful Wanderer · 02-13-2006, 02:55 PM

It's like... like someone crossed Wolverine with a MAD-5R Marauder.....

Cool! ^_^

Geno · 02-13-2006, 03:29 PM

That, Selene, is basically what the Magitek Armor looks like.

Wyborn, and anyone else interested, might want to check this out: http://www.secondlife.com

Second Life is the "game" from which my above photos were taken. In SL you can do anything you want - and I mean anything. I spend most of my time in-game building things from other games. I've made several Arwings (mostly from the cancled Starfox 2), at least four complete airships from Skies of Arcadia, and scores of nintendo character costumes. The game is truly unique and addictive as all hell

Oh, and it's free.

Wyborn · 02-13-2006, 04:46 PM

Damn you...and your...advertising! Must...resist...THE EVIL

Gah. I'll make an avatar. That's it. And maybe a robot dinosaur.

What do you mean by it's a game? I thought it sounded like a modelling program...

Geno · 02-13-2006, 09:01 PM

Well Kibbleking.... it is a modeling program. Of sorts. It's also an animation tool. And a massive chat room. And a first person shooter. And an RPG. And a flight simulator. And a....

Well, it's everything. It is what you make it out to be. If you want to dog fight in the skies with other people, find a vehicle and take off. If you want to duke it out in a pit fight with some mean lookin' fellows, mosey on over to a fight club and break a chair over someone's back. Can't find a vehicle that you like? Then build it yourself. Make it fly with the built in scripting language. The world of Second Life is 99% player created content, and above all, limitless.

But I digress. This topic is beginning to shift away from its context. As far as I'm concerned, it's fulfilled its purpose. Though if you want to see more pictures of my M-Tek, I'll be happy to post them. Otherwise, this discussion might be better suited for the PC forum.

Wyborn · 02-13-2006, 10:19 PM

You could keep it on-topic if you did somehting crazy like made the armor of an Imperial Soldier in FF6. :P Green! Like the captains

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 02-13-2006, 11:39 PM

That's awesome!!! I like what you've done very much and I'm very impressed!!

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-25-2006, 10:30 PM

Cool. I like your Magitek Armor. It almost gets me over the cancellation of Chrono Trigger Ressurrection. -CSM
