new message box. (*new portrait for Gela by Ghost.) more space for names and descriptions, easier to drop the portrait when it's a peon npc speaking. i liked how shadow hearts 2 gave each npc a name and description

and yes, i've pretty much completely removed all the gba fire emblem portraits

edit: thanks, glad it looks a little better. i might make that bg less transparent though, come to think of it
Outstanding.
This is a definite improvement.
I just noticed something.
Stairs on a mountain?
Considering the level of detail you're putting into the game, you might want to find a way to avoid using unnatural things like that.
Looks very nice ;D
there is a slight problem with it though
due to the characters having similar colors and brightness/contrast as the background, it makes the background stand out more when the focus should be on the characters.

don't get me wrong, those colors look great, on the background and on the sprites, I just think the characters should stand out more, purely for gameplay reasons.

hmmm funny you mention this, I was actually just talking to someone about the brightness of the characters relative to the background. I'll try to make sure that the characters don't get lost in the scenery. Thanks for the tip.

Maybe mistaken for a log bridge? :P

This is likely due to the slight desaturation from a tint screen command. I like that the game doesn't look overly-vivid and vibrant. Some of the focus may be lost on the characters because the screenshot is very small.

I dunno the setting, but this isn't always true; for example, Mt. Rolante in SD3 has tons of winding staircases up the mountainside because there's a kingdom at the top. After all, things like a clear path through a forest aren't natural either, but they get made by travellers hacking away undergrowth and stomping through the grass :B Even in real life, there are a huge myriad number of examples of mountain faces and hillsides turned into stairs or with stairs installed in them. Again, though, I'm not sure how much traffic your mountain gets.

This image won't display when hidden with the Hide tag, but here's a real-life example of a hell of a lot of stairs in a hell of a lot of mountains.

This is what I was thinking; it looks different non-tinted (see the other images).

(stair precedence)


lol yeah I was thinking that since I saw stairs in a lot of mountainous RPG maps (e.g. Secret of Mana, I think), it would be fine. In any case, I'll consider changing it but it's not high on my list of priorities right now. Thanks to everyone for their input.

I don't think players would worry about why there's a stairs there in the first place, when they properly want to know what's going in the scene.
Whoa! What an improvement! Gela's portrait looks awesome... but now I'm jealous. xP So just to nag you I'm going to point out that the border on the portrait it's poorly resized to x2 when it should in fact look no different than the border on the textbox. =P

lol good eye, yeah I wanted a thicker border so I just resized the existing message border...I might upgrade that someday, too.
