Description

CG+. Finally.
The old version of this tileset was already quite a big tileset (990 tiles), and I didn\‘t add any new tiles. But I never uploaded CG in the first place, and when I was browsing through the stuff I uploaded at J2o I was shocked to see that I forgot to upload CG, in my opinion, the best (and the last) of my ripped tilesets. But to make this some more special, I re-did the mask. I also made the vulcano, the comet and the time-portal better, and asked Violet to make a cool pallete for the tileset. And he did (look how different all the sprite colors are!), and the effect is great. It\‘s a rip, so I don\‘t expect too high ratings for it, but that\‘s not why I\‘m uploading this. I\‘m uploading this because I want all my (in my opinion) good tilesets downloadable for everyone, and I want to have all those tilesets uploaded before 2003 arrives. The demo, Cracco Zone level IS a carnage level, but it\‘s a very big carnage level and is much better and bigger than the other carnage levels.

I don’t know why CraccoBoy likes upload Ripped tilesets, but he does. This tileset contains nothing more than ripped off graphic from gameboy games and Epic’s tilesets. Thought Craccoboy drew a volcano, which makes the rating going up from 1.
It has some nice shadings on Jazz, but it’s not really haleluja.
I will not recom you download this “improved” version of CraccoBoy’s old gathering of ripped graphic.

Peharps Trafton is right, peharps not, but my rating will not across more than 4 points.[This review has been edited by Moonblaze]

Indeed, it is difficult to tell what is and what is not ripped in this tileset. However, I am frankly disappointed at any ripping. Sure, I can understand taking the fire animation from the original tilesets, but ripping from games is just bleh. I can not tell what is or is not ripped in this tileset, though it is plainly obvious that the characters have been ripped from various Final Fantasy incarnations. The morale of this story is: draw it yourself. Sure, it is the easy road just stealing it from another tileset, but that is not what tileset making is all about at all. If you insist on using those characters, why don’t you just draw them yourself? That is not the only reason why this tileset is disappointing. What is obviously not ripped is not well done or crafted. Levels using this tileset always end up looking bad and closterphobia-inducing. Not only does CraccoBoy rip from Final Fantasy, but he also takes tiles from Carrotus and Castle. These tiles not only look out of place, but they just look plain ugly. Pretty much all of his tilesets look a bit the same to me. Final Fantasy characters, a few related land pieces, and rips from Jazz 2. I liked Desert of the Lazy Donkey, but it seems ripped tilesets are now back in season. While I can not say that I think this deserves such a low score as 2.5, the truth is that this tileset tries to be too many things at once while not doing anything in particular well PLUS is ripped. There are few redeeming qualities to the tileset, but there still are some. I’m sure Final Fantasy lovers will swarm over this tileset, but even FF fans probably have seen this all before – again, and again, and again.

+ PROS: Final Fantasy is a cool game, and fans probably will like this. It has more tiles than the original. This tileset did not cause my computer to explode and set fire.

- CONS: A lot of rippings. Too much different kinds of tiles. Mask has not improved.

VERDICT: My verdict is a 4.7 and no download recommendation. This tileset just is not anything that has not been seen before, nor is it high-quality in any way. If you have any other C(Any letter) tileset, you have seen this before, probably more than you would like. However, if you do not have any other Cracco tilesets, I suppose this would be worth getting.

When i first read all the reviews, i thought, this couldnt be that bad, but it is. Almost all, or all (hard to tell) tiles are ripped from many other games (mario, final fantasy and a lot of other games probably) and the tiles have nothing to do with each other (slime in one place, fire in another). It WOULD of been a cool idea to have a tileset with many themes like this one (hint hint) but unfortunately the majority of ripped tiles overcovers that good point and doesnt make it stand out much. Although, one thing is, when i look at other tilesets like this in the past, they have received a way higher rating like this. Why? I dont now, but it seems unfair.
Download it or not, depends if you like ripped tiles or not, but i wouldnt necessarily reccomend this. Sorry.
Edit: Small bug in the review which i had to fix :P
