The screen I am working with is 544*416px. This is standard size for RPG Maker, fyi.
so the layout would be like this.
You have your party on the right, as per classic FF. Enemy/enemies on the right. And your battle screen at the bottom.
Everything is placed on a 32*32px grid, with subdivisions at 16px and 8px.
Hero sprites are being worked on though. And the size of the party battlers can vary too. Someone made a nice format for animated battlers, so yeah. With the Idle sprite fitting in 32*64px, and using the full 96*96px for the animations.
EDIT:
So more like this. Tried to make him less box-y, and now it's more of a tree-guy instead of just a tree with a needlessly sophisticated root.
Full new palette in the upper right corner.
ANOTHER EDIT: couldn't help but give our buddy a face.
