I see that you added some pictures of his face to the background. I think that was a nice touch, and it took care of the problem of having too much empty space in the right side. However, the faces may be a bit too transparent. Is there a way to put them in more focus? Not too much though. Just enough to where you can still see some of the background.

Also, I like the font and the text looks fine to me (I don't really see where you think it rough), but I'm not feeling the effect that is going on behind it (the one that looks like it's coming from his weapon). It looks like it's stabbing the face on the far right in the eyes.

Other than those things I mentioned, I think this is another great banner!

Heh... This is the second draft of this VM. The first one didn't go through... I can't remember everything I typed in it either... Weird.

AHH! You edited your VM while I was typing a response!!!

I think you should move your character a bit further to the left, to cover that flat side of the banner background. Also, I still think you should use the background for a character that has Ice powers or something, since it looks wintery, but I do think it works for this particular character. The yellow weapon he holds stands out really well against the blue.

I also think that it needs something on the right. It looks a bit empty on that side to me.

Heh. I saw on X-Play (when I still watched that show) that they put in 120 hours on the game, just going through the story. I may have been thinking of another game though, and just got the title mixed up.

Gabriel isn't pale enough to be albino, but he sure is a cutie! Awww..

Your background is done really well! I think it has a wintery look, so you could probably use it for a character with ice powers or something.

As for the whole Real Time/Turn Based thing, I would most definately like real time as well, because I am a much bigger fan of Action Adventure games than I am RPGs (I do love a lot of RPGs though). I like how in control you are of your characters during combat. Like you said, inputing a command and watching your character dish out damage isn't nearly as fun as it is when you push a button and attack, attack, ATTACK!!

I hope its like that in the new FF game, where you can chat it up with your party members when you go into towns. I know that it happens sometimes in FF games in certain parts of the story, but I would like it if it was like how you mentioned it was in Star Ocean! I guess that's why SO is unique like that though.

Oh, and I was going to comment on your Banner thread, but I couldn't really think of anything to say that I haven't already mentioned before to you.

EGAD! Gabriel Celesta is a royal PAIN!!!!

Do you like mine?

Everything else is great.

I might, but I agree with Magey more so... Hmmm. Seeing as you're my brother I'll just do it to Casey.

OMG!! I just read your interests,and like I am shocked.I can't believe someone as quiet as you likes to talk alot.*thinks*...Where have I been???

Beat you to it!

I think it's amazing, though I don't really like the text!

I have a confession to make... I used to own Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. I don't have it anymore, because I got stuck at a certain part in the game. I believe it was in a town where you had to trek through some mines. It wasn't too far in, I remember that much. I... sold... the... game...

I'm so ashamed... I wish I hadn't because joining this site and chatting it up with you makes me want to play it again! I may try to track down another copy, but I hear this particular game is a long one. Not that it's a bad thing, just I hear that the main story can take over 100 hours! That's a lot of game!

I have no idea if FFXIII is real time or turn based, but I'm putting my money on turn-based.

Yes. I agree that giving the characters thier own weapons does make them unique, and I like that, but what if there is a character that I really REALLY like but thier weapon sucks? I guess I could learn to deal with it. That's why I liked XII, because of the character customization and you picked who led your party into battle. I wish you could pick who you went into towns with as well, but I suppose that would be asking a lot from a game.

Speaking of Albinos, I don't think I've EVER seen one in a FF game, or any other game for that matter. I think this guy could pass for one though:

If you don't know, it's Ghaleon from Lunar Silver Star Story. Yes. He is evil. Yes. He is insane. Yes. He is my favorite character in that game! Heh... Been a while since I played it though.

Bambi? That's random. xD I haven't seen it in a while either, but I still remember it pretty well. Not one of my favorite Disney movies but it was alright. My favorites are probablyyyyyy... Beauty and the Beast, The Brave Little Toaster, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, and Treasure Planet. Please tell me you've seen all of those!

That doesn't help my fear at all, Fate. xD

I completely forgot that was Legretta's name. Who would your ideal party be, if you could have anybody? I would have liked Peony... and his pigs...

Exactly! I have a sleep disorder so I got away with sleeping in class a lot. One time I was incredibly tired, so I went into the corner of the classroom and fell asleep on the floor, and the teacher just let me sleep there. =P

You're totally welcome! I had to look up what he wore and stuff. And I learned that he apparently uses books in battle so I went with that. Plus it was a good chance to practice so... thanks for having a birthday! <3

I sketched something for you for your birthday, but the picture quality is terrible (taken by camera phone due to lack of scanner), unfortunately, plus I messed up on it a bit, but its still acceptable I suppose. I guess I'll just give it to you now so I don't forget. xD

Tried drawing Leon for ya', but I don't know his mannerisms or anything so this might be completely out of character. If so... whoops!
Anyways, I'll still give you your drug money, don't worry!

Are they all playable, or do you pick certain ones to play as, like in Before Crisis?

Hopefully these boomerangs are at least halfway powerful. For some reason, projectile weapons (like Rinoa's weapon) and thrown weapons don't seem to do much damage as things like swords and guns and such. Or maybe it's because I usually don't play as characters that have these kinds of weapons.

Speaking of weaponary, I was sort of hoping that this game (FF XIII) would let you customize your characters, like XII did. But that was met with mixed reaction, so I suppose SE had to go back to the drawing boards on that one. I liked how it was in XII though...

Yeah, but he's not a main one. Go figure for me, huh? The character I'm excited about has silver hair and is evil. Remind you of anyone else I am obsessed over? Heh...

Yeah, you're right about that. I haven't really checked out Agito, and I haven't stumbled across too many threads about it either. No I haven't seen the amount of characters, but judging by your smiley, it must be a shocking amount.

Kinda iffy about the boomerangs, but we'll see how they work out.

It's Yaag Rosch. Hopefully he'll have some decent character development. He looks cool, but you never know how these things turn out.

Honestly I think that I will wind up getting them all, but I am a bit more excited about getting my hands on Versus XIII. That game looks GLORIOUS!!! Oh, and there's not too much info about it yet, so maybe most of the reason why I want it is because it's shrouded in mystery. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........

I had to look at his face again to make the comparison, but yeah, I do see it as well. At least Hope is wearing a decent shirt!

I look at all the purdy pictures, especially this one:
File:FFXIII Headset guy.jpg - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research
hee....

Not "if" you get the game. "WHEN" you get the game!

Also, he can run from battle? Aren't many characters able to do that in these games? Or do you mean that he will run from battle if you don't train and work with him? If that's the case, I think it's pretty neat that the game developers put that little something extra about him. Gives him a bit more dynamic impact as a character (to me anyway).

Are you getting this info from FF Wiki? I'm trying to stay away from anything that might spoil the story for me, so I haven't really checked up on it.

Meh. Esteem sounds better to me, but it's cool that you found out.
