  1. Art/Character Design 

    The current character design looks cheap and reminds me of the shin megami / persona game. 

    Best artist for character design would be as following:

    Girls : Yuji

    Maidens: Kita/Kaya8

    Ladies: Kita

    Boys: Yuji

    Lads/Men: Kita/Sachiko/Okaya

    Animals inc dragons/wyverns and were-people/laguz: Chie/Hidari/Sachiko

    Monsters: Hidari

    Badass bosses human: Chie

    Badass bosses monster: Kita/Sachiko/Hidari

    The reason for these selections are the strong point of the character being memorable, strong impression of the character's personality before reading their backstory at first glance while each character designed uniquely and less likely to have the same-face anime syndrome. The moe character design just doesn't work for me for a classy game like Fire Emblem, such as the artstyle of the kozaki garbage. Kozaki artsyle are probably attractive for masses plebs because it could be seen in pretty much all anime nowadays where they need to take a break for that pleb art style. They could've make a return of the moving mouth and blinking eyes animation combined with the various expression of the 3ds games though. 

    As for their personalities, nothing much could be said up to this point.

    p.s. Hopefully the marriage/partnering system doesn't return, it's such a nuisance for the plot.

     

  2. Yeah, this is correct. Previously, there was no way to jump from one game to another without manually typing the page URL. The menu at the top is there to provide that and it's included on every page due to the static site-wide design. The index includes the links at the left to emulate the old site a bit and because the some of the games are lumped into subcategories for the top menu (that was done because there are too many for one big list).

    I personally think the links on the left should stay as they are, but I could see maybe removing the Forums or Wiki links from the "site" section at most. Also, some people weren't even aware there was a music or art section on the last version of the site. I'd definitely prefer to keep those there. :V

    "The links at the left". Yes, they should stay. And may I add a suggestion? How about retain the old site left links art; I mean the boxes that darken when hovering the pointer. Maybe just tweak them a little (such as implement the icons of the new site, replace the numbers, retain the series name or any that I couldn't think of atm), instead of the link-text, because I don't know how to say this but, it just feel like the generic wikia design, in which I'm not a fan of. The Serenesforest uniqueness and simplicity are what make this resource site, like no other. All in all, good job for the redesign the site. Keep up the good work!

  3. I'd love to, but you honestly can't get any better quality than that. The character art is all crammed together and really small : /

    Furthermore, there isn't a lot of new art in the book--most of it's just official art, which can be found elsewhere in higher quality to boot.

    Although I just noticed, I forgot to update that page with a few more scans.

    How about just the FE8 characters? Is Xyst/Gerik large enough? There's no Gerik in http://serenesforest.net/gallery/20th.html.

  4. I'll try again someday.

    #1 Ever heard of color contrast?

    #2 The contrast value doesn't fit well.

    #3 Liked the picture slideshow, although I feel dizzy and squinted my eyes often with the masked Awakening dragon, distracting.

    #4 Too green but liked the fireflies/orbs scattering around.

    #5 Greenish-yellow of the forum's BG. Good.

    #6 Much effort can be seen here. Should have done better though.

    #7 Lines looks familiar, but where?

    #8 Error 404

    #9 Hmm.... can't even see although followed the instructions. Not done well for slower PC (viewed from friend's Mac).

    #10 Okay.

    #11 Liked the original ideas and simplicity.

    #12 Sucked. Can see the eye portal though.

    Oh well, who am I to judge. :P::^_^::KnollRoll:

  5. WOW! More renew artworks of old Fire Emblem! Love it! Love SACHIKO WADA artworks!

    But, young Roy looks a bit...mature? Thought he was from the DNAngel anime..

    Leaf's new artwork have the Sacred Stone artwork design!

    Love it!

    Anyway,

    Wish this great game series would be adapt into anime/CGI full movie! (They already had the great epic storylines and great character designs) :):

  6. RE:

    Hi everyone here on Serene Forest Forum!

    Did you download that file, if you don't have it? Several pokemon-centric sites suggest that, but they also suggest getting the newest version of Sappy from kawa's site too.(Sappy is most popular with pokemon-hacking fans, so you're likely to get the best answers from them)

    Yeah, I did, Celice. Oh, how shall I reach that Kawa's site? Ok, thanks for the advice. :)

    I replied to your comment on Youtube as well.Sappy 2005 from ROMhacking has an installer that fixes and registers all the .ocx files that all the newer Sappy programs depend on.In fact, here.Download

    Small world! :D Thanks, it actually works! I can run Sappy now, thanks again! :D

    I'm afraid that won't be such a good idea. You can extract all the MIDIs but they will look terrible because they are not necessarily coded how they sound - some of them have two bars of strings, playing the same part but 1/16th of a note apart for the 'echo' effect... anyway, you'd be better off reading fan MIDIs because they are organised much better, for the most part.

    Oh, I see it then. Actually I have done that, reading fan MIDIs, but it somehow doesn't sounds right to me, like, off-keys, too fast/slow, remix and so on. Well, I just love the original one. :) Like the MIDI in this Japanese site; http://disadvantaged.web.fc2.com/fe.html#contents

    I might reconsider of your suggestion as well, Agromono. By the way, thanks again. :)

    You may be able to convert a GSF to a MIDI without any problems. I've done it with NSF and SPC files all the time without any issues.

    Really?! I've tried on NSF & SPC before, but just able to retrieve the wav. files. :( (Recorded directly using emulator/specific media players) Never thought it can actually recorded into MIDI. :O Nice info! :)

    May you suggest utilities that can actually doing MIDI for both NSF & SPC?

    (I've tried searching them before, but seems I just found error sites, unavailable downloads, or maybe from not correct sources, then I gave up on that)

    iirc it's not so much the gsf tracks notes and more the way the samples are coded (not to mention that he may also be referring to the physical organization of the tracks - it may sound fine immediately post-conversion but the second you change the volume of one innocuous track the echo gets fucked up and the whole thing goes to hell or some shit because the tracks aren't organized in a logical fashion)

    Bullseye! You're exactly right! :D That's what I'm trying say, the physical tracks, but I don't know how to ask in proper word before. :D

    Actually, I found this Japanese site few days ago that offer the exact MIDI sounded as in GBA. But sadly, not all the tracks are available. That's why I tried Sappy programs, per suggestion from sites that I Google myself (which I'm a newbie about music hacking thingy).

    Here the site that I'm talking about, it's been ages of for me finding this, (it's Japanese, that's why can't find it with English Google! Silly me! :P:

    http://disadvantaged.web.fc2.com/fe.html#contents

    By the way, thank you so much to you nice guys here for guiding me in this, I truly appreciate it! ;)::D:

    (FYI: I'm the one that contributed the Sacred Stone main script in this main site years ago, after I gave up on music hacking BEFORE started the script, yeah,

    just if someone bothers to read the script though. :(: )

  7. Hi everyone here on Serene Forest Forum!

    How to extract MIDI from Fire Emblem GBA 6/7/8? I want to learn the exact scores on Synthesia. I need the RAW MIDI, not fan/sequencer one. Or maybe someone here can provide the download link for all the RAW Midi files?

    The problem;

    I have downloaded Sappy 2006 Mod 15, but when I try to open the .exe, it's showing a message like this;

    Run-time error '339':

    Component 'vbalCbEx6.ocx' or one of its component dependencies

    not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

    I have reboot my computer but it seems doesn't work too.

    I'm using Win 7 Ultimate, 32 bit.

    I'm also try the older version of Sappy, but it still showing the same message.

    Does this thing using command prompt? If it does, how to fix it? Any solution?

    ASAP... Thanks for concerning. Just trying my luck here...

  8. Agree with Ike-Mike! Scan them carefully.

    Wow! Its truly classic and brings memory of the first Fire Emblem.
