Why?  Just buy it from the site, It's digital only either way anyway.
Because I want my digital purchases be at one place, not on lots of different pages. Easier to keep track of and to download it again if I somehow lose my data.

You should make a habit of backing up your files in general, I wouldn't trust any site to allow redownloading indefinitely, and if there's ever an account issue(which steam in particular as well as XBOX Live are very well known to have), you're screwed.

If you want to wait for steam, that's fine, and all(although I can't imagine waiting on this pack, It's that awesome), but I wouldn't rely on them for such a feature.

Purchased this through Steam... Can't recommend it to anyone.

Yes, it contains some nice looking portraits but 25 of those images are with top 1/5 cut off. Please fire the person who decided to pre-cut those images so the hats get cut off. Now I have to draw them myself. Really, whats the freaking point to cut nice looking image from the top?

Yes, it's only 3 of the 16 characters that those images count for but still I feel like tricked since the sprites are not that good.

Depending on the style your game uses portraits, you might purchase crap or gold.

Considering these resources are third party, there's nobody to fire. The only part Degica and this website have with the majority of these resources is selling them on their site.

I can't speak for the quality of the portraits, since I don't ever use portraits, but the facesets look nice enough, and I may consider buying this just for that alone.

That's incorrect, none are cutoff, either you're mixing Faces with pictures or you're using the center option when placing the picture on your map(use upper left, and X/Y to get it in the desired spot).

You are wrong - in the cases of the pictures for busts, there are several actors with high hats, where the top of the hat (which is visible in case of the battlers) is cut off from the picture. Doesn't matter to me, but it's clearly visible if you open the files with a graphic program outside RM.
Actor 3m & 4a_f of that set for example

Oh ok, such a minor thing, must've overlooked it(it appears to only effect the Bishop, and Witch char, perhaps post this in a new thread as a support issue, I'm sure the artist would be willing to fix it, it would probally only take him/her 15min or so.

Your post is incorrect.

Anyways, it does look extremely stupid if you use those portraits without framing them somehow so the cut off does'nt show. Portrait with something cut off just looks weird in the game be it hat or hand. It does'nt matter if the cut off is behind the character but on the right side and on top you just have to draw the missing pieces.

Thank God for clone stamp tool!

The artist used the same dimensions for the portraits- to make sure they are uniform in size and shape. The cut-off isn't anything new. It's present in the RTP portraits, the DS portraits and so on.

Sorry that it inconveniences you, but this isn't laziness or some strange novelty that's present just in this artist's work. It's a fairly common practice. :)

Ah ok is that's what's going on, well I don't really mind anyway, these picture are great, and the Art Style is amazing, some people just like to overreact.

The busts have bits at the top cut off? If this is remedied, I'll buy it :)

Out of curiosity, who won the Facebook contest? :) I don't expect to win - I saw at least three extremely creative entries, but would like to know ;D

As I mentioned, this is not a mistake you'd need support with. It's a common practice that's present even in RTP. Uniform size means all portraits are of similar proportions and fit well together. :)

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
