Hey Square! I am up for hire! xD
Sorry, i need intership to finish college ;u;

I only recently found out about this wondrous beast of a game! And since this series is making it's 20th anniversary, have this little, late homage of mine!  
And i could just nerd about for awhile about the stuff that made me love this game so much, but a quick take-away: 2D sprites in 3D enviroments is a big aesthetic!! 

Who know if i don't tackle some more characters from the game? For now, this is the game's protagonist, Fei! He's also an artist c:

I'm aware that some details doesn't match up with the source material's illustrations. Mostly the color pallete which i adapted directly from the in-game avatar. Feedback on that regard is still very welcome! c:

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

[PT-BR]

Ai Square, me liga! xD
Eu preciso de estagio pra fechar a faculdade poxa ;u;

Foi só recentemente que eu descobri esse jogo maravilhoso! E já que coicindentemente ele faz 20 anos, fica aqui essa homenagem meio tardia minha!
E eu podia ficar aqui o dia interio dando uma de nerd sobre tudo que me fez adorar esse jogo, mas só uma rapidinha: sprites 2D em ambientes 3D é uma éstetica muito legal!!

Quem sabe eu não faço mais alguns desses? Por hora, esse aqui é o protagonista do jogo, Fei! Ele também é um artista c:

Eu tó ligado que tem algumas coisas que não batem com as ilustrações do material original. Mais a paleta de cores que eu decidi adaptar direto do avatar in-game. Eu adoraria feedback nisso! c:

This is definitely awesome and really stands out. I love that you went in a different stylistic direction rather than trying to emulate the original anime aesthetic. He's definitely still Fei, but he's *your* Fei. I love the turn around you did as well.

Any plans to draw some other characters from Xenogears this way? Or more animations? No pressure or anything.

Thank you wholehearted for the feedback, Sespo! I really glad you like it   

The anime aesthetic of the concepts and cutscenes were quite fantastic on their own, but the world/battle sprites really grew on me!

I did had some ideas at the time, but never got around doing the others characters. The animation is a bit more tricky now, but another one of these is certainly doable! I have a couple of projects in line, but i might just give it a knack in my next vacation! Got any suggestions?

I think Elly would be a logical next step, but I'd also love to see Bart. I think he's kind of under represented in XG fan art (maybe because his design is a little more complex) but I'd be happy to see any of the main characters. It always makes me happy to see that new people are still discovering this wonderful gem so many years later. I think the visuals have aged pretty well, which is cool since the graphics weren't praised that much when it first came out. Other JRPGs were focusing on 3D characters at the time, so Xenogears stood out as a unique alternate way of doing things. I think the aesthetic still looks great, and Xenogears has some of the best art direction and atmosphere around.

Sure! I recall someone also requested Elly, so she might be the way to go! 

Honestly, i think most party members suffer from that, and it doesn't help that the game is a hidden gem. Rico is a favorite of mine, but i don't think he get's enough love from the fans

As for Bart, i actually followed on my brother's playthrough instead of playing it from the get go, and when i hopped in he already had him in his party. Still, that didn't stop the tournament fights to be one of the highlights of the game for me  

Xenogears is certainly special! It was also very daring in it's narrative and art direction, which makes me wonder what a remake would even look like. What do you think?
Oh! And thank you so much for the watch c:

Well the art is actually very nice, i like the style, but this style would definetly NOT fit into a xenogears remake, this looks like it would go into one of those indie-games where it has a cartoony styles and it is WAY less serious

Proj-FATAL In reply to mechadarkmewtwo [2019-08-06 02:29:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you got a point! Looking at it now, the saturated colors do drift away from the aesthetic and tone of the original game. The character proportions helps to give off the cartoony vibe, but the original sprites had these proportions too, so i am not sure what i would do about them now.

I will keep that in mind anyway! Thank you for your feedback!

Eu curti hein cara. Só achei mancada vc ter feito duas
paletas, uma mais saturada e uma menos saturada.

É mancada pq agora eu fiquei indeciso qual eu curti
mais, ficaram muito foda!

Outro jogo que usa esta mesma combinação artística
de cenários poligonais com personagens em sprites 2D
é o Disgaea, vale a pena dar uma conferida
se já não conhecer!

Parabéns cara, paleta muito foda e seu traço tá cada vez mais daora!

Haha valeu mano!   

Eu pessoalmente gosto mais dessas cores saturadas, mas o outro é mais fiel ao original.
até porque eu tirei tudo de lá haha

Ah eu não sou muito familiarizado com a saga do Disgaea. Só cheguei a jogar uma demo a um tempo atrás!
Muito bacana esse exemplo ai!
E além desses dois tem alguns exemplos mais contemporâneos que deram show com essa estética, tipo Octopath Traveler e Indisvisible!

Indivisible é fenomenal né cara.. Pretendo jogar um dia, por enquanto só fiquei na demo.

Indivisible é um uso muito bom do 3D no jogo pq passa despercebido as vzs..

You take the sprite and you somehow put so much style into it and it looks amazing haha
Yes, let Square hire you after you finish that internship!

Proj-FATAL In reply to VictheNobody [2018-12-21 14:37:59 +0000 UTC]

Haha thanks! I am really glad that you liked it
Having such a fun design to work with certainly helped!

And oh nono, i still need a intership xD

VictheNobody In reply to Proj-FATAL [2018-12-21 20:11:40 +0000 UTC]

Haha no prob, glad it was fun to work with though! Not too complex a design!

Pff I realised what I wrote and figured out that's not how internship works hahaha. Gotta get that internship into Square and let them realise your true potentials!

Oh I love this! It has a lot of personality and keeps the spirit of the original so well - would love to see other characters if you ever decide to do them

Proj-FATAL In reply to Reitheia [2018-12-17 12:52:30 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, Reitheia! That really means a lot!  

I had so much fun doing this one, so that could be a thing!

Been thinking about doing characters of the main party or even do my take animating one of those fancy combos from the game! Would love your take on that

Reitheia In reply to Proj-FATAL [2018-12-17 14:31:44 +0000 UTC]

I'd love to see the others - even just Citan or Elly would be awesome! There are a lot of cool combos in the game too, it'd be neat to see your take on one if you felt upto it

Proj-FATAL In reply to Reitheia [2018-12-18 09:44:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, the main three!

I am really tempted to do Citan! He's just a favorite of mine! But then, the main reason i started this was to give animation a shot, so i guess i will stick to that for now xD

Thank you so much again!
