The work on cleaning up the menu and UI elements is fantastic. They look so much better than the original images posted several pages back. Top work!

I can't put it any better.

Elmer, you crazy bastard, we love you for all the effort you put into the fine points.

Finesse.

Pure finesse, comrade.

I like the drop shadow. It subtle but effective. Nice.

It's finally done, and I thought that it might be good to explain the technique used, since it's not one that's been commonly seen since the 4th-generation development days, and someone might want to use it in another translation, or a homebrew game.

Thanks for doing this, it's very appreciated.

It'll probably look very clear over composite, too.

Hello there! I really appreciate the work you're doing and I'm really looking forward to playing this gorgeous game with its just as gorgeous PSG soundtrack! Keep it up!

Well ... I'll agree with the "insane" bit, anyway!

We're still putting together all of the last-minute details for the dub, and getting together screenshots to attract folks with voice-talent into wanting to be a part of it, and ...

... I thought folks might like this screenshot.

It's what you can see by disabling Falcom's sparkle fade-out of the Xanadu 1 logo.

Looks kinda nice, to me.

Thanks to Phase for the logo!

Man, I love these games.

[Dicer]

Such amazing work from anyone and everyone involved...

I just hope that we get to experience this before the end of days.

Yeah, when I was a kid, being forcefed Religious Education ...

... "the sound of the last Trump" had something to do with the Angel Gabriel, IIRC.

Ain't life just so funny!

Man, I love these games.

Me, too. 

Thanks for introducing me to them.

I have no idea how they ever got made ... they just don't seem to fit the "commerical" mold of the time.

SamIAm wanted to see what Falcom's original Japanese logo looked like in the same setting, so I disabled the fade-out, and took another screenshot.

Dang ... Phase's logo looks really, really good in comparison!

The replacement English level-name screens are going in now, and Phase's new font is looking great! 


Falcom's original screen ...




Translation screen ...
