I like the screenshot mosiac (and that's something I've always enjoyed), but I really dig what's going on with the redone battle screen at the bottom left, and especially love that title screen. If I saw that logo on a box for an NES game, I guarantee I'd have at least rented it. The swordie on the mountaintop with the dragons is a cool little bit of minimalist work, too.

haha I'm so glad you said you'd rent it.. I loved renting games back in the day. Thank you Toshiko.
I'm going to post it at Pixel Joint now I think.. with the minimalist swordie part as  a preview image..I would use the actual sprite from FFI for the preview but they have a very strict no ripping policy, even in this case the piece wouldn't even be accepted.. or if it did; I'd get reported multiple times.

Thanks Boss Elric. I think I did mention it; but I was talking about joining this challenge actually: http://www.pixeljoint.com/2015/02/23/4568/Pixel_Art_Challenge-_A_Nintendo_Silly_Symphony.htm (http://www.pixeljoint.com/2015/02/23/4568/Pixel_Art_Challenge-_A_Nintendo_Silly_Symphony.htm) But sadly I didn't have time to make an entry.
Now just press start
..imaginatively  :mrgreen:.

When I woke up, I couldn't even tell it was a mosaic XD still too sleepy.
I really love how you worked this out, working with mostly the warrior's very few colours.
My favourite thing has to be your improvements on fonts. I've seen some on your previous work where you went WAY too small and it just became a headache to read. In this case everything is your style but still big and clean enough to be readable. Good job! :o

Holy hell Lijj... just, wow.I never realised it was a mosaic either till I zoomed out on my phone after reading xif's post.

Magnificent, man... and I don't even like gingers.  ;)

That's so funny; glad you didn't see it right away. I was wondering if it was apparent or not..
But I'm glad if it's obscure (slightly).
Thanks Xifanie. That was definitely the most challenging part; coming up with varying aspects to fit the "template"- which I abused a little bit. Thanks about the font.. I think it's a little bit of a.. strange font but it matches the style. Also yeah I made fonts way too compact before; which was dumb.
(I just had to include Twim in there)

and Kyozo22: So glad you saw it as just a bunch of game screens 1st :lol:.. it would be interesting to perceive that way; as I saw it form completely oppositely. From 'fighter' to game screens.. but to perceive it from game screens to 'fighter'!

Welp, after reading the comments, I now realize there is a bigger picture. I only saw all the small pictures, didn't realize it was all one large picture...

Mind = Blown

I had the benefit of just-woke-up blurryvision at the time, so it was the first thing I saw. 8D

That's funny Elric! yeah.. it's two images really.
Glad you saw it right away Jupi.

.. I am concerned that most people don't recognize it as a collage. But oh well; all the more exp. points for those who see both.

If it reassures you in anyway, I saw the whole thing for what it is right away :P Then I went through and thoroughly enjoyed each indivicual picture. This is really great Lijj!

Well, since im at work most of the time, I normally check ffh on my phone. So without zooming out I didnt notice.

Yes it does Jumza! You've (mostly)fully restored faith in my perception of humankind's perception. & thank you.
Also Elric that's so F'd up (just the fact that you work SO much; despite your love for it).. I looked at it on my phone and realized the reds were all wrong. Sadly that is the one color which really matters. I imagine the fighter would look something like this zoomed out once doused in sulpheric acid

I can't believe that Kyozo; it's strange.. is it their personalities or just their color? Although I don't judge; you have the right to hate them. I would just like to know why.. if you're serious.
I think red-heads are divine! At least I find red heads pretty attractive anyway.
I'm with Toshiko; and a lot of my heritage is Irish/ N. Irish. I'm actually part Slovakian I found recently too.

I'm just kidding, dude. I agree with the general opinion of "Daaayum. Hawt." ;)

I have a very dry sense of humour which generally doesn't translate well to text.

I thought you were probably kidding. I guess without hearing your tone I just couldn't tell. I feel kinda silly for taking it serious.
