I have been working on my first game using rpg maker vx ace on steam. and i have a rogue basic idea for what i want the game to be. but i have two questions and both are related to graphics. i hope to get a artists/sprites reply on this.

1. what style are the battlers/monsters/bosses made in for games like FF4/5/6? are they hand pixled? are they line drawn then sprited?

2. making sprites that can show emotions (again like FF4/5/6) since i like the way the characters showed there emotions like laughter, sorrow, anger, etc. can these emotion sprites be used in rpg maker vx ace?

if you need examples of what i am talking about let me know.

1 - If you mean the Snes versions, then they're pixelled - most likely by hand, yes. If we're talking the new versions, not quite sure.

2 - Sure can. You just need to make sure you reference the sprites for them in the eventing and change back to the normal sprite afterwards. ^.^

If you look at the RTP in Ace you'll notice some sprite sheets under the name of Damage and Behaviour. They show some animations that are already available with the default characters and how they'd be laid out on a sprite sheet for use.

yes i was referring to the SNES version of the graphics. I wasn't aware that the RTP characters had emotion sprites. I will certainly take a look at those. the chibi like default characters are great but i didn't think they where detailed enough to show emotions.

what i might do is make the a bare-bones structure game with nothing but the RTP stuff. and then pick it apart and replace what i remove with non RTP stuff. that way i can have something to show when asking questions about development.

thanks Liberty for the information. btw i might use some of your graphic resources. if i do i will let you know. i have a few pieces of your work filed under your name. (i have put downloaded resources in a file system organized by creator so i can keep track of who to credit)

That's always a great way to do resource management. Kudos to you for it. ^.^

But yeah, glad I could help! And good luck with your project, too.
