Your mapping is great but I feel the battle screens and inventory/menu screens are lacking. It's the enemies and character battle sprites that clash. I know a lot games do this but it's jarring.
Ha ha, yeah, I've gotten feedback about the sprites before. Haven't seen an enormous amount of side view battlers that I felt fit with this game. Nowadays there's more available, but it just wouldn't feel right to change them now. Same with the encounters, if I could make this game over from the start I'd probably go with something other than random encounters.

Curious what you mean about the menu and inventory screens though. Is there something that could be done to benefit them? Or is it just that je ne sais quoi?

I totally get that and that's me being picky as well. Because the character battlers look great and I don't mind the backgrounds at all with the pixel characters/HD backdrops.

As for the menus and such, I think they are just too HD or crisp. This could simply just changing the font or using a lower res menu graphic. I'll always understand not being able to go back and change fundamentals of a game like enemies, but maybe play with some system graphics stuff. Or don't, my games aren't masterpieces! haha XD
Interesting! Hadn't really thought of it from that perspective. I can see why you'd feel that. I have thought about potentially giving the player the option of changing the window style, but they can already change the color and font, so it always felt like a bit too much. Maybe not though? I'll play around with it, see if maybe I can include that in a later update. I always like challenging myself with modifying scripts.

And thanks for all the comments! I appreciate the feedback.

Always great to have options! And of course, I wish the best for your project!
