Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hey Zodiac, I like the overall look and feel of the forums, but readability could be improved.

This is easy to read, (although I prefer you add more leading)


Compare with the text in this message. Which one is easier on the eyes?


While I liked how it resembles the text dialogues in FFT, keep in mind that in the game the Typography were enhanced with readability (they have a heavier weight, and are much larger). Like this sentence here.


 I think it's best to use a different background imo, if you prefer to keep the same font sizes. I would like to have it as an option.

The current texture/font is perfectly legible and non eye-searing to me. If anything, I have a harder time reading FFT's text (probably because my TV sucks... seems much better on an emulator).

Well it's really not bad, but I can tell you it could be improved (by much). I work in the UX Design industry so I touch upon typography in a daily basis. I have provided some Smashing Mag links that you will find useful if you cared enough to improve readability,

I work in cosmetology and I have a list of the latest trends, you wanna a haircut?

Trend as in, taking the best practices from the best websites (with a great volume of readers). Not (necessarily) in an aesthetic sense of "trend".

edit: You know what, forget it. When I have time I'll do a mockup of the design and see if Zodiac likes it.

so apparently we should conform to other "cooler" websites so we can "fit in". just like getting a new haircut so you can look like the cool people :O

Yeah, let's listen to R999; FFH is not one of the best websites.

I suggest you make R999's haircut look like Tidus.
