Of course it is.  I am OCD and make sure of every pixel.  At least I think I have ;)
 
Looks fantastic, but it does make the backgrounds look even worse than before by comparison heh.  Hopefully the backgrounds project will solve that.
 
It will... however, in game dialogue will not look good with those huge captions.  Not a problem for me cause of the retranslation project but Ill speak to squall and see what he suggests.
 
Well I can tell you all one thing, you are going to really really like the finished product.  I have slaved my ass off, other day 12 hours straight (28 hours awake other day).  But it is finally paying off.  The new interface looks much better with the new font observe (and NOTE that this is not aligned properly yet, lots of work to do):

VERY impressive work!
 
Awesome work !!! Now make it like this "similiar" And your a god!!!  8-)

 
pretty much impossible for me, and even time consuming for someone like aali.  Would take major rewrites.

But this still looks good :P

Is it the animation what is hard to do? What are the limitations for the design?

Hmmm... Using gradient on the font and background made it look realy good=)
 
Simple is always better...  When you get down to using gradients you are running risks with simplicity.   You can always alter my finished pictures in adobe and add a gradient.

As for why it is hard, the cursor programming, the backgrounds, the extra images from textures, all of these would need  rewrites.  It could be done but not by me :P you would need to program a lot of it from scratch. 

I could replicate SOME of that video but it would be a lot of work and I would need to be a good artist for the graphics, plus the ends do not justify the means.  There are a whole bunch of things to consider, not least that the current menu looks like FF7 and that other does not.

When I have finished the whole thing, I will give you the whole bunch of images, and let you do your thing, and add your modified font as an option ;)   I like what I see.  Maybe simple isn't always better... choice is :P

ok, just send the link over pm, and it will be done in 1-3 days=)
 
this is the first time I really looked at the back end of this thread (thought the first post was all there was to it) and I must say the work is quite impressive. I am more of an enthusiast than a professional when it comes to modding but if their is any simple yet tedious tasks you need help on, please feel free to bug me for help :D

Right you are  :D

Felix does seem to be very gifted with with texture and graphic design, you guys teaming up can only be a good thing I think.

This new battle interface will show off all of his new battle scene textures too :D
 
I am well aware that I am teasing you but it is taking shape.  I reckon the battle interface will be done by end of tonight :)  Just a few graphics to sort and some more alignment and it will be done.

Well your not teasing me, i've enjoyed watching the W.I.P. pics popping up. You've done a really good job getting this off the ground and to the release and it not long now till we all get to test your work out.
 
That looks really good, but what about the stuff that wasn't rendered behing the old bar? (like Odin's background and Ultima)

Is anyone working on fixing that?
 
Just wondering. Would it be possible to have the menu with the options transparent as well? Also, do you guys know when will be the next release?
