@Aten: Honestly it looks decent, the combat system seems to comprise the game. Aside from that the Overworld Sprite for the hero needs some work. I would advise a new combat theme, sadly the MIDI you are using would most likely get annoying after a while as it did in some of the Tales game especially if you have random encounters.

In a Nut Shell:
- As said earlier reduce the amount of frames for animations.
- Fix the pixels for the In Game Sprites, perhaps hire a Pixel Artist or work to create a more visually appealing sprite.
- Change the Battle Theme

Other than that the game looks nice. Good work, its nice to know there are still RM2k3 Users out there.

What I don't get is how so many people try to convince Vanit not to make the 2D FFVII Remake, don't they learn the guys determined and the menu and battle menu prove it.

@Corfaisus: Trust me with the amount of time hes putting into this, when it is done not only RM Communities will be interested. I can assure you curiosity is on his side.

@Vanit: RM2k/3 Woot! I want to see how you pull off the dynamic camera, persistence and determination alone have solved and always will solve the problems of the RM Community. Nice Calvin Coolidge quote edit.

As Kentona has said add some ridges, perhaps direct the water in a less linear way. Heroes Realm does a good job at this, reference it for examples.

@Skie: Looks like its coming together. I suggest opening the box before you say that its empty...The maps a bit bare, however I do realize that this is still in development and not finalized by any means. Perhaps add some variations with in the grass/earth Its odd that their are some random black plates just laying around, perhaps you could make them some rock form as they would fit with the area a bit more. In terms of the boss battle, I really liked it. If you could maybe change the initial monster sprite into something a bit more ferocious than a slime blob, showing how big the creature actually is.

Yea I cant help but mute the video, all in all I wonder how much action we can expect to see in this game, I doubt very much but anyways looks like a promising adventure/platforming hybrid.

@Kentona: Reminds me of Chip Challenge, which was one of the first games I beat. Way to keep up with your retrograding nature I like it.

Liked the trailer, but that's some of the queerest music I've ever heard.

@SegNin: Zeara - The Tales of the Matrielle is another title made by the same creator of Tales of the Fallen. You have sent me Zeara - The Tales of the Matrielle, I was wondering if you had Zeara - The Tales of the Fallen.

Looks like an awesome site, you should advertise else where on other sites to get more members. But good work thus far and you have just received a new member. :)

@Ashramaru: As you can see, I have the message box edited a bit. Now my only concern is the way text will look once its crossed over onto the art, if it will still be readable. As for the canopy, it's really there to add "cinematic effect" if you will, not to portray realism or anything.

A canopy overlay without any trees large enough to up hold it does not add a cinematic effect it give the game a, "the creator thinks this senseless overlay is useful" effect. Don't get me wrong, I like the use of overlays in maps however the above map does not possess a single tree which is big enough to cover the sky. Either you are in the forest of floating leave clusters or the overlay just looks dumb in relation to the map. I like the new text box perhaps move the portrait a bit to the right to give you more space for text.

@Lennon: I say you fix the face portrait location and move it so we can actually see it above the text. The canopy overlay is ok, however if you are using such an overlay I would think some big tree bases would be littered all over the area. Its not a like a canopy just floats in the air. The environment looks nice and refreshing.
