Well, if you liked my Incarnate try, then here you go, another frame. I can work on it if you want.

Small update, with changes you wanted:

For some reason the robe looks flat and it's kinda unexciting.

The Consume** technique sounds pretty neat too. Can't wait to see these classes in action.

Probably because I changed his strange thing into belt, also I deleted symbols, that's why it looks flat.

"Creates mana from the Incarnate, and send it to the target. Can't target himself."

I suggest this instead:
"Summons forth mana from the Aether to grant to allies."

I'm aware Aether is not a FF concept, but it does fit, particularly because it can should easily heal more mp than it costs with that setup.  The mana has got to come from somewhere.  Alternatively, you could use mist or Mist instead as that is a FF concept and is used in some of the other Ivalice games.



"Opens a magical rift trought witch the Incarnate weapon can pass and strike from afar. "
Corrected spelling and grammar:
"Opens a magical rift through which the Incarnate's weapon can pass and strike from afar. "



"Get rid of all magical energy, killing himself in the process, and giving it to surrounding victims. "

I'm guessing since you use the word "victims" that it is supposed to be harmful and "giving" is just poor word choice.
Suggested:
"Ignite one's own mana to trigger a violent blast of magical energy in one final attack."
Perhaps All or Nothing Cancel Critical could work...?




"Incarnates are representation of magic itself, flowing with power. Their magical sheild protects them from death since their bodies are frail."

Suggested:
"Incarnates are representation of magic itself, flowing with power. Their magical shields help protect their frail bodies."

Thank you Silvas, those changes will be made soon in the game and here. ^^

I appreciate.

Consume can't be applicable with a "only usable when Critical only" since that's applying another status. And it won't work with the self-destruct formula, since the status isn't self-targeting but targeting other units. Hopefully there's little to no damage with this ability, since you can't apply a healing element to this formula (it's Dmg_(CasMaxHP-CasCurHP)).

What is it an incarnate of?

Magic.

Kokojo, I do not believe the word "Incarnate" on its own is a noun other than if you were saying "something-incarnate" (e.g Devil-incarnate).

Asmo is right, but I can't come up with anything that quite captures the meaning I think you wish for the name to have or I would suggest it.

I have new version of Incarnate with me, but I will post it in Saturday(or Friday if I'm lucky), how about a portrait? His head colors and design are left unchanged, so please base the port of the latest version posted here.

Incarnation may work, but sounds a little lame...If you show me the new sprite, I might be able to provide a portrait. I still need to work out Gospel's portrait though, so I don't know when I'd get to it.

Well, you can base the portrait on the latest version I posted here, head and neck remained unchanged.

As for the sprite itself, this may take a while, but hey, I have now 2 weeks free from school, so there will be plenty of time to sprite during night

Alright, I'll get to the portrait sometime today.

Ok Mav, thanks :P.

Name changed to ''Magus'' since ''Incarnate'' name did not fit.

As promised, the portrait (it's a rough WIP, that needs some decent feedback). I just took the portrait equivalent to the pieces Kage used to assemble the sprite, but the results are...quirky.

Magus is bland.  i'm trying to think of what better fits the "state of being" theme you seemed to be going for.  There isn't a word I can find in the English language that means "an entity of magic" specifically...  Entite or however it is spelled was the name for the higher tier elementals in Final Fantasy XII, so that MIGHT work...  What I feel is the best and doesn't suggest an elemental alignment though is Transcendent.

Wow Mav, good job ! I really like the portrait - In fact I have nothing to say about it. He looks good ; he has a feeling of coolness and evil

Also, yes, keep suggesting names ; I like.

Hah, thanks, I'll see if I can't tweak the portrait some more--especially with the clothes.

I don't mind Magus, but I agree that you could use something a little less common. Try tossing two words together: like Fell Mage, or something.

Sorry Mav, I kinda got carried away and I gave those two new versions a collar. I have two versions like I said earlier, choose as you like, I kinda tried to make it look less like priest.

And portrait is amazing Mav! If only you could add a collar, it would be awesome.

Edit: I forgot about Female one, I kinda couldn't implement that head we talked about Koko, Zozma had messed up with palette, so I had hard time doing it. So here si what I have done, her hands are red (outline), kinda goes well with their connection to magic

Magus isn't "bland", it's direct. Trying to be quirky and original leads to shitty names like "Incarnate".

Aye, that's true. While Magus is a slightly more common name, it fits and sounds more natural than anything else we've heard.

I dig the female sprite, Kage, good work. I like the top part of the male sprite, but the bottom half could use some work--both trims look fine, but I prefer the top one. I'll try to fix the skin tone and collar on the portrait sometime today.

I'm fine with either version, but what should I fix in the bottom?

And thanks for portaits, Mav

I dunno, I just find that robe a little boring. It's up to you--I seem to be the only one griping about it...

Well, Koko has choosen the bottom version, so I quess I will stick with it.

For the port, I only have one thing to say, the backhair looks a bit round till the ponytail. It looks almost like you just paste the ponytail. Perhaps less round? Hmm...don't know. Anyway, good job. The sprite looks good.

Alright, let's see if this is in the right direction:

Whoa, amazing! Thanks Mav, it is done then,. Now about the demale one, hmmm...

As for sprite, I done all basic frames, but I won't post em, it is a pain to work on one computer and post stuff on other(yeah I have these two comps, one is for internet conncetion, the other is for my work). And offtop, Mav I have male moogle done with new colors, would post it now, but I won't because of the reasons I said earlier, but will post it tomorrow specialy for you

Small update

Updated front page with sprites.

Quote from: "Kagebunji"Small update

Is it just me or does he look a pixel too short on the rear side view?

It is just you The size has remained the same as in M Priest, I didn't make any frame shorter/taller.

Technically it is a pixel shorter than some of the other poses, but the developers may have done that on purpose: the forward side view is one pixel too long. Looks okay to me though, Kage: great job.
