Hey peeps, it is I, the monius, random rantings and wondering on how I how I can make the graphic direction for P6 turn out. I'm wondering if I should use the regular FSM charsets or use the Tales of sprites like I did with PR, P2R, and P5?

I don't have much complaints about using FSM spriting , but I like to try and distinguish the charsets from the Phantasia series and the Lost Land series.

As for battle characters, I'll be using the same style as I did for the other installments, maybe even make them a little bigger to accommodate the larger screen resolution for VX games.

Really, my only other issue would be tilesets as well, while I don't have an issue using all those tilesets I've seen available for VX Ace, I'd like to try my hand at doing parallax tilesets too. But I don't know anyone who's willing to do that kinda stuff. X_X;

There's a lot of planning to be had for the game, especially in terms of the graphical department, but I do have a storyline thought up for at least premise of the game, as for how the game will play out, that's where I'm stuck, because of the whole gotta get the graphical thing sorted out before I can really start on anything.

Making games on VX is hard... somewhat. :P

What's your thoughts on graphical style of choices peeps?

Maybe I'm just a traditionalist, but maybe stick with the Tales Of theme since that's what the rest of the Phantasia series is made of?

While that's nice and all, but if I do go the Tales of route, I'd want to make every single tales of sprite custom because I don't want to use rips. =/ Even though making the Tales of characters sprites is technically a rip in on itself. But I'd rather have them original style spriting. I'm trying my damndest to get out of the ripped resources hole.

Well then why not start from the ground up? You certainly know how to make great battlers. Take a stab at overworld sprites in your own style too.

Well.

I don't think it's a problem if you use FSM for the field side of things, and your usual Phantasia battle sprite style for battles. I know FSM has a load of material out there ready to use, mix, and match.

I just want a new Phantasia, okay
