Arc Rise Fantasia HD Textures/UI

[PeanutReaper486]

An obscure JRPG's general HUD and UI, fontmaps, icons, etc upscaled/remade. I'll be doing another playthrough of the game soon to collect more character/enemy portraits to fix up. Most of the icons that I couldn't initially fix were merely upscaled in Waifu2x.
Some icons,(Status effects, the potions) are just recoloured/improved images from google images. I lack the talent and equipment to redraw them.

Next, I'll be looking into a 60fps mod/hack/thingiemajig for this. During the results screen, the game runs in 60fps, whenever it's 30 usually. Won't be easy, it'll be fun to learn.

Nice! I was tempted to start a pack for this game because I didn't think anyone else ever would, but I eventually decided on something else. So I'm really glad to see someone working on it.

Ah, a game that wasn't released here unfortunately. Always wanted to try it out :/

But that's a good start for the pack! Any particular style you're going with? Cause it's a mix atm: one part has literal HDfied art of the original assets, while the fonts for example don't resemble the originals.

I need to get Xenoblade so I can finally play it with your supreme texture pack. That project has gotten huuuuge. I forgot to mention, I used a bag icon for the general item icon in my pack, just slightly recoloured. Sorry I forgot to give credit. :c http://puu.sh/pNGL3/092095874c.png

Yeah, the font I use for like, Time/XP Gain/Confirm, etc, isn't remotely similar to the original. I don't have any actual experience in graphic design except for knowing what I want to see. I used Genuine to fix those up because it's a big, readable font, but doesn't fit well with it's initial design.

I guess I'm just going for what works, I looked over all sorts of fonts to find something like the original HP/MP/SP etc icons, but Oleo Script Swash was the closest I got, I liked it enough.

Good news boys, I FIGURED OUT THE UNDUB. Japanese voices are so good in this game, good lord. Stark contrast to the english dub.

good work, thanks

[NeverExists]

Thanks for sharing man. This looks really good, I don't mind that it's not the same as the original. Actualy I think it looks better.

English dub to this game is my reference to people who say all english voice acting is terrible. No, it's not, and this game is proof that most other voice acting is fantastic in comparison. Nice textures btw.

More good news, I've found the same font used in Arc Rise. Monotype Corsiva. I've had it this entire time and never noticed it.

I'll definitely be replacing basically all of the Genuine fonts, as well as updating the HP/MP/SP etc icons.

I found it whenever I was remaking the "Turn" icon since I found it to be a bit stale; I made it from just Oleo Script Swash, my go-to curly type font. The T seemed off so I cycled around different fonts to find one that would fit the rest of the text fine. http://i.imgur.com/AZIVwil.png

I noticed the resemblance and yep, that T was the key.

Awesome, I wish you best of luck doing the 60fps mod.
