1st - Epic win for the sprite! Way the go!
2nd - Interesting story, too bad that it still hasn't named yet. I think you should name something stone related.
3rd - Ephraim is a boss. No way! *cries* My idol... T^T

[Liquid Snake]

Are all the old FE8 characters playable as well as the new characters?

Also, that Joshua mug is awesomely kick-ass.

1st - Epic win for the sprite! Way the go!

Thank you, we have Arcfalchion and VAMPelf for the best of the sprites, not to mention myself, Nayr, Shinycharmander and Dalsin on most of the others. It's a pity that our project(FE8older) didn't get as much attention as the FE4A did, I would have loved to have a lot more diversity in the spriters, and would have enjoyed having not so talented spriters try their hand at some too.

2nd - Interesting story, too bad that it still hasn't named yet. I think you should name something stone related.

I want to move away from the stones, the game will delve into a story beyond the stones and the demon king, so I don't think it's required we have something linked to the sacred stones.
The story is mostly written by myself and Nayr, we haven't any set writers for the staff. When the hack was first thought of, an ideas topic was created on the board of FEU, and members who were interested basically threw around ideas for the storyline and what characters get in and what not. Nayr and myself eventually surmised what we thought was good and put it together, and used that as a basis for this.

3rd - Ephraim is a boss. No way! *cries* My idol... T^T

Perish the thought child.

Are all the old FE8 characters playable as well as the new characters?

Sadly, not all will be playable, it's sad due to the wow!factor of some mugs, but most of the characters would be too old, or otherwise. Some characters will be playable, notably ones that effect the storyline, ones that I felt we could get a lot of storyline from, and also the characters that look really epic. So... vvv

Also, that Joshua mug is awesomely kick-ass.

We have VAMP and Kai Shiden to thank for that Joshua, and just to clarify, Joshua will be a playable character.

[AstraLunaSol]

......All I can say is....holy crap, for one the sprites look amazing, The Young(Now old) Characters definitely can still be recognized while looking older. The only one I didn't recognize was Natasha I'll definitely play this when it's finished.

[∑-sigma-]

Hopefully it won't take years to complete like some other major projects.

And I'm surprised you didn't recognize Natasha, considering that is was actually her as a base and just edited to be older.

[Bryan]

Many of the mugs are amazing. I remember that I submitted a crappy Isolde mug. D:

I don't care for Erika's son's MUG, he looks to Royal(? is this the right word?) to me.

Otherwise, I cannot wait!

[Integrity]

Gotta jump on the portraits bandwagon here, except the color choices hurt my eyes. o_o

Otherwise well done.

[AstraLunaSol]

And I'm surprised you didn't recognize Natasha, considering that is was actually her as a base and just edited to be older.

That L'arachel ("Young") base(As in the clothes) was probably the thing that tipped me off, and wondered who it was, then I looked at the name tag. Part of the hair, was the same as well. First I was thinking "L'arachel with blond hair? wait what"

Eirika's son is a prince, so he's supposed to look pretty royal.

Overall I think the Mugs are great. A few of them look a little too young (Artur/L'Arachel, Kyle sort of but he looked older in the first place so it's not as noticable), probably due to having mostly costume changes and not facial changes. The only character I would say is unrecognizable is Forde.

On second look, L'Arachel doesn't boher me so much, it's mainly just Artur.

I'm a little confused on Riev. The first one looks like a zombie version of the FE8 one, the one next to Ephraim looks like a totally different guy.

[Amelia]

Eirika's son reminds me of SSB Roy very much. I like Vanessa, Neimi, Colm, Joshua, Myrrh most. But Natasha and L'Arachel pissed me off.

@bold, he is just... overboard.

@italicized, you'll have to play to find out.

[Rewjeo]

Honestly, Eirika's son is so overboard on the gold and jewels that, IMO, he looks sorta feminine.

I'm surprised you're taking character requests, given the huge number of characters there already are.

Mugsheet
Updated, edited Natasha, removed L'Arachel, replaced Gabrielle with original palette.

Any further comments and criticism on the mugs will be greatly appreciated.

a) That's true, I suppose. i don't think there would even be enough character slots in the game anyways (I think there's a maximum, right?)

B] That's mostly what i wanted to know. Awesome.

I believe the limit for all ingame characters is 255.
Although I am led to believe that this limit can be increased...

[Hector]

Artur and Lute look pretty young to me(How old are they supposed to be anyways?)
Knoll got way taller
I love Garcia's hair

[AstraLunaSol]

Well considering that they should be around 16-18(?) Add 20 years to that and yeah.

[-Cynthia-]

Yeah, a lot of these characters only look about 10-15 years older IMO, w/e.

Lute was pretty young in FE8...only 15 maybe? And she does look significantly older IMO. Artur doesn't though.

[grandjackal]

I would LOVE a sequel, and looking just at the general ideas and what your mugsheet says, this is going to be epic. You made a small tiny dream come true.

Also, EPIC mugs my friend! It is so awesome that I'm rendered speechless. I'm hyped, I'm psyched!

Keep it up, it looks great so far, and there is still more to be seen! Like...the rest of the game.

Also, I notice the slots for Writing, such as script, is empty. Is that the job of the person listed above all that, or do you actually lack a writer? I only ask out of curiosity of course....
