NIGHTBLADE'S PROFILE

Hm...

The HUD : a good HUD should tell you everything you need to know while taking as little space as possible. Now, ask yourself; do we really need to see the hero's elemental affinity in the battle window? What about the name? You have the face picture and his name there; which is a bit redundant. One or the other would suffice.

The battle charactersets, I would strongly advise against using that style. Leon Magnus is a fairly well known character, as he's an important character in one of the only Tale's of games that wasn't completely awful. Not to mention that the style itself is overused. Do you know what people never use for some reason? Bahamut Lagoon's battler style. Not only is it not very widely used, but it's even animated exceptionally well. If you're set on using rips and edited rips for your battlers, that might be a good place to look.

From the story I read, it all sounds fairly generic; but what matters is how it's told... Which begs the question of why bother including such large amounts of information in the first place! Though I myself have been guilty of this in the past.

I like how you guys pick little tidbits out of people's arguments that you can counter, and ignore the rest.

I didn't read everything. A few things stood out (for obvious reasons) and I merely commented on them.

You really weren't the one I was referring to.

Well, you can clearly understand why I made the assumption.

What's cutesy about the VX RTP, exactly?

Almost everything.

I was looking for specifics.

Bright colors, short, super deformed character traits, what have you.

Honestly, I fail to see how anyone can look at this character style as suitable for anything other than a un-apologetically old school type of role playing game.

The comparison to FF6's character style is even more absurd, as not only FF6's palette much more conservative than VX's style, but it's also much more proportional.


"A type of Irony"? Really? Applying this fallacy to another game, I doubt Fear 2, or Resident Evil 4 would have been as compelling with cel shaded, cartooney graphics, as undeniably "ironic" as that would have been.

I found the chipset at the old phylomortis site, it's not a difficult chipset to find. If you want, you can download my game and just grab it from there.

Someone remind colbert that Exit Fate was released in 2009.
