But what's all this fuss about him looking like a girl? I can tell it's a guy, easily.

For those of us who do not frequent transvestite bars it is very difficult to make the distinction. See: platform sandals.

Western influences may be changing this, as for some reason a lot of people here are "OMG HE LOOKS LIEIK A GIRL FAAAAGS RAQWR", because apparently they have some problem with men not being covered in 500 pounds of muscle and hair...

As long as the Japanese pick on our country for being overweight I will pick on their country for being full of prettyboys. Aside from that, the number of ridiculous prettyboys trolling Japanese streets is not nearly as high as you would assume from playing videogames. Friends of mine who have stayed in Japan have commented on this. And, based on the Japanese foreign exchange students at my college (there are lots), in general they tend to wear more hair gel but otherwise their fashion is not too far removed from America's.

Now a topic about character design.



This guy has excellent character design because his pants are missing their butt.

And yes I do believe that is a guy :(

I see.

Well...there are not any dark-green grass tiles in the Chipset. And yes, I downloaded them from Charas-project, so I did not make them. Other then that, well...I would have placed some of that good 'ol dark grass in there somewhere.

I think you are misunderstanding me:



The only real problems are that you need little dots in your grass and you need to change the white lines on the roof to a gray shade.

Hmm... the trees seem a little out of scale, if those black things are supposed to be windows.... it looks like you only have one tile to use for the walls, which makes it kind of hard to look at. And the roof isn't much better. There's too much contrast on those tiles, in my opinion....

Well most of the perceived flaws you're talking about are intentional because it's obviously a 4-bit color style chipset (most people call it 8-bit because the Nintendo was an 8-bit console but that's talking about the processor and let's not get into that).

Final Fantasy XIII

Ahhhhh, I see. Well, I liked the music in those two regardless. Actually, all of the SaGa games (IMO) have great music. I would rather the music from the original two (RS 1-3) over Unlimited Saga and SaGa Frontier 1-2, though.

Kenji Ito did the music for the rest of the games and yeah it is pretty good. I generally don't care or know much about video game music, but for some reason I am oddly compelled by the SaGa series so my knowledge about them is pretty encyclopedic.

Sonic: the RPG

I don't know. Sonic the RPG is a pretty bad idea to begin with but when you combine that with BioWare which is a pretty unlikely choice and the subtitle for the game (I think it was SONIC AND THE DARK BROTHERHOOD or something) I really don't think this has any chance of being remotely good. Although if the game is based off of the American TV series it would at least have a really cool dystopian atmosphere.

Lost Odyssey.

I wouldn't say Final Fantasy VII is crap now, because it still is better then some or most of the shit that comes out nowadays(RPG Wise). I still consider it to be my favorite game because I have fond memories of playing it and getting drawn into it.

Story is important for a game, but it shouldn't really be held as the main focus because their needs to a good balance between story and gameplay, well that's what I think, because even if the story's incredible, If it's unplayable then I simply wont continue.

No I think Final Fantasy VII is a fantastic game. I'm just poking fun at the game's pretty ridiculous anime opera story.

Final Fantasy XIII

Ahh...so the composer is the one who did one of the "Saga's" is it? Excellent. I LOVED their music. From Romancing SaGa to Unlimited Saga...everything was just so good!

Also...I don't find Shimomura to be bad >.> I like her KH music.

Hamauzu only did SaGa Frontier 2 and Unlimited SaGa. You can tell because his music has strong Latin American influences.

4-bit color

I think more or less that the map and the tile suit the style you're aiming for. However I must make two suggestions:

- Add little darker green dots randomly on the grass. It will make it look much more interesting without sacrificing the NES style.

- Make the roof tiles a little less busy. People are complaining because the stark white lines make it look like there is too much action on the image and it is confusing the way that those pictures with white lines on them are (ARE THESE LINES MOVING? OPTICAL ILLUSION!!!!). I suggest that you get rid of the entire tiled motif altogether and just make it look like a flat, sloping surface. Maybe color it with dots the same way that I suggested for the grass. Just make sure that the overall tone of the roof is a light color than the walls so that it looks like a 3-dimensional and not a flat object.

I don't know if you made the tiles themselves or if they are Final Fantasy rips or something but those two things would make it look better.

@brandonabley: Is it me or does that monster look a little timid with it's paw hanging down like that? "rawr"

That's the idea!

Can someone help me?

I'm new here and I tried to upload a game and i think it worked, but it's been 3 days and it still hasn't showed up....Is it supposed to take this long?

Yes. All of the submissions to this site are filtered by hand to avoid spam. Sometimes it takes a long time for the staff to get to it, and sometimes they decide not to greenlight the game if it's offensive or something.
