Been in a huge Tales of mood since I was playing a little bit of Phantasia and I beat Arise (which is REALLY GOOOOOOD), so I wanted to mess around and try mimicking the portraits from the SNES/Famicom version of Phantasia with my Open Legend party. I got Aseprite as a gift awhile back and had never really messed too much with this but It's a pretty fun program!
I don't know, I just really like the limited palette yet super detailed sprites of these...the PS1 portrait sprites are still very nice but I dunno the SNES ones just strike a chord with me more.
And yes Regina's is based off of Arche.
And yes that is bias.
