Acidtrip, no one is denying that that the the primary poles of gender exist. "Boyish" and "Girly" do indeed exist for reasons, but failing (or in your case refusing) to acknowledge that there's additional depth beyond the gender binary is not helpful and the video you posted was frankly offensive, and not remotely useful to the OP's dilemma.

Watch yourself.

Hey! While I generally cannot speak for the allies proper, in general I think it's fair to say Ian and Don have most of their after effects needs taken care of. There are a number of reasons the Allies would probably be hesitant to take up certain community made items, particularly with regard to use of the company's logo, and the fact that they'd be taking someone else's work, which can become an issue in matters of licensing, etc.

Plus, as you mentioned you did this 3 years ago, and since then the general style guide for EZA has evolved beyond the humble "Avenir Next Heavy" so at this point it's mostly outmoded.

As for stream intro and outro, bumpers, the allies have a diverse skill set but not all of them are wizards at managing video, and video assets, though several of them do aspire to improve their production quality when not in the studio.

That said, if you do want this project reach their eyes, you can try reaching out on twitter, or if you're a patron on Patreon you can go in for the Community Showcase where at least 2 Allies will watch and respond to your work.

Otherwise in terms of actual feedback, I think that, while simple, the animations you made are on the whole, pretty good, and almost at professional quality, they're not terribly obtrusive and in a more ideal world most streams would have nice intro and outro cards.

On topic : what would be involved of logistics for a small points and prizes system like the Old GT days ?

More money than the Allies or almost any modern business could justify spending. GTD & GTP were solely the product of the largess of Spike/Viacom.

So don't expect a system like that to ever return.

Also I remember seeing this somewhere on Patreon, I guess in 2017 EZA did a convention panel and some allies did a fan recording/edit of the panel, like the other "hopes and dreams" format vids it's mostly the guys just goofing off and joking around

Can we at least change the title of this thread to the actual title of the game? If you search for Final Fantasy VII Remake, it does not bring you results from this thread.

*It might show this post now

It's not even in the tags!

I see.

It shall be done.

A for effort @TokyoSlim . Time to lock this thread like the gates to Midgard. (All appropriate posts have been moved to https://forums.easyallies.com/topic/5364/final-fantasy-7-remake/60 )

I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS ON PROGRESSIVE.

Yeah. I didn't hate it, but without talking way too long here I'll just say for me it felt like the story was trying too hard to imitate the original and have fanservice for fans of the original versus actually continuing or building on the story in any meaningful way. Nor is it what Alternative is doing in having a completely new story that follows the formula of the original but has it's own original merits beyond being fanservice.

Yeah. I'll praise progressive for the moments where they genuinely got creative (Hidomi's dream sequences were always great), but I have to poo poo it for fundamentally missing the mark in trying to ape the themes of the original without truly building up to anything, even as fanservice. I can't say that either Hidomi or Ide's growth is handled all that well either.

I feel like 2-3 episodes in alternative could be cut out and it would probably be a better series overall, which is a shame when the series is only 6 episodes.
