Woow! Sweet-looking animations! I think I like the more pixellated style better, I think there's something merciful in giving more leeway to the imagination. 
I see that a lot of your characters, at least the main ones in your first post, are pretty much identical to each other in terms of body type and pose. What do you think, would it be difficult to have more variation there? You got a much nicer selection of different body types with the less important characters (I'm guessing?).

Thanks for the comments!
It's very difficult to give each character their own personality with small pixel art.
I need more practice.
My goal is to create a small RPG in RPGMMZ.
The image below is the first draft.
It's a low head and body.
Testing the map.

I think you're doing a stellar job, though!
Like in that last image you posted? The guy with the yellow pants has broad shoulders and arms spread wide, with narrow-waisted coat and baggy pants. Makes 'em look strong and apish, totally different than the guy in the white t-shirt! Awesome job!

I'm really enjoying the consistency of your character designs. Even with so few pixels to work with, you've really managed to give them each personality. And the full 360 degree rotation piece is excellent!

Wow. I really love the overall vibes of your aesthetic. Liberistella feels like it's FF inspired, but distinct enough to be it's own wistful world. Love the pixels and concepts - they feed the imagination wonderfully.

Hey, also, have I told you how mesmerising it is to look at that tree? I really love trees, but I feel they're hard to do well. I'm not 100% sold on your tree, it smacks maybe a bit too much of pixel porridge, but it's still somehow really mesmerising! Feels like I could just stare at it for hours... soo, maybe it really is perfect in that way.
That walking animation looks super smooth, too! But her legs crossing inward? That looks a bit pathological already. I know the effect you're going for, but have you tried toning it down (out?) a bit? Might look better.

As you said, there are influences from Final Fantasy.
I'm very happy if that graphic conveyed the concept and sadness of the game.
Thanks for the comment!

I had no idea you liked that tree so much.Hey, also, have I told you how mesmerising it is to look at that tree? I really love trees, but I feel they're hard to do well.

Pixel art of plants is hard to do.
I use Aseprite to draw pixel art.
I draw them like pixel porridge!
It is difficult to create a targeted shape, but it is easy to mass produce.
Animated feet are hard to do!
Because of the small pixel size, a single pixel displacement has the power to disrupt the shape.
We're working on this part of the puzzle at the moment!
Thanks for the comment!

I hope you don't mind a mild critiquing question, I'm just curious; What made you decide to make all of the female sprites have internally rotated femurs, or in other words, pigeon-toed?
It's a neat art style, minimalistic yet full of personality.

Thanks for your comments.
Here's why.
1. To express cuteness.
2. I simply like the way it looks. (Personal opinion)
3. I don't like straight lines or designs that spread outward. (Personal opinion)
Probably influenced by the female characters in Japanese subcultures (manga, anime and games).
They often use the expression "legs turned inward" to express suppleness and slenderness, and I like it.
Here's a little drawing I did.
In the image below, design A is the one I like the most.

Oh wow, the variety looks really cool! Style A does look best, probably, but you could also mix in a few characters done in styles B and D! Like minor characters maybe? That way everybody wouldn't look like copy-pasted versions of each other!

Perseverance is key, bois and girls.
Looking back at some sketches, and game design documents on my PC dated summer of 2015. I started development with the release of MZ, but in 2015, I felt a strong desire to make a game out of the blue. I remember feeling sad for no apparent reason, and all these ideas rushed into my head. Now that I think about it, since that day, everything has become easier to do on my PC . . . it’s very creepy.
