This has been a big issue among us, but now it is time to see what you all think. There are plans to redo all icons and music and to remove the Final Fantasy name. This is a small example of what the icons may look like. i7.photobucket.com/albums/y294/Kija/ImpExamples.pngPlease vote and post a comment on what you think and want to happen.

I'd really rather not have the icons changed, personally. I mean, I think they're fine the way they are. And what's wrong with having Final Fantasy in the game's name? Not like the BH is gaining money off it or anything...
Besides that, there's the player icons as well. I dunno about anyone else, but I picked the ones I did because I liked them, and I'd REALLY prefer not to have them changed on me after I already picked them.

Well, again, this is just me, but I've already got the icon I like. I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I've made my choice, and I wanna stay with it. Now, if the offer were extended to KEEP the icon I have and just call it a custom one, I'd be all about that, but I just don't see that happening.

You probably chose that icon because that was the best choice, so it is easily possible that the new icons are even better.
But it is not just about player icons. It is also about the monster icons. I am looking forward to seeing the creatures with unique icons and not just recolours of eachother, such as the two imps shown in the example.
I also look forward to the original music, which will be cool too.

"And what's wrong with having Final Fantasy in the game's name? Not like the BH is gaining money off it or anything..."
Having Final Fantasy in the game is the very reason why they can't gain money from it to begin with. If it was to be removed, then they could accept donations and such. I feel the game needs to be moved away from Final Fantasy and stand as its own game.

That being the reason I'd have to say I'm against the new icons idea, Hiro. Some folks probably chose their icons for a reason, and suddenly changing them out on everyone is basically saying "You can't have that anymore. Pick something else. Doesn't matter if you don't want any of them."
Now, Kija, to be honest, I actually chose the icon I chose because I genuinely liked it the most. That's not to say I didn't like the others. Now, as for the monster icons, I won't say it wouldn't be nice to have new ones. I'm not saying that. I'm just pointing out how it kinda sucks that the icons we picked for ourselves are suddenly being taken away and we're stuck picking new ones that may or may not be better. I'll reserve judgment on that one, although I do ask that everyone bears in mind that good and bad icons are all relative.

I don't care either way. Redoing all icons and music could be something that happens in a later version when the game is closer to being finished. Or maybe people could volunteer to redo the icons and music. But it is still a pretty big task to complete, if that's what is going to happen.

Yes, but without knowing what the icons will look like, you cannot know if you will not like it more or not. But we would make sure to have quality icons, so it will look good, ofcourse that is not to say you like it more though.
We already have people working on the music, so we do not need volunteers. Although we do not have much working on icons, we should manage with that too.
Yes, this change is not something happening soon, since it does require a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it when it does.
Some people say that is fine they way it is, but just because something is fine, does that mean that it cannot be better? In my opinion, this change will make the game better, and it is something that should happen.

Well, like I said, I'll reserve judgment on whether I think the new icons are better than the old... although regardless of what I say, it's gonna happen.

Yes I agree with Dye . I chose my icons because it suits the name of my characters. Take for example, my Ruby Weapon. The icon i currently use for him represents his name perfectly. Now if that were to change, that could possibly completely screw up what I wanted for that character.

I'd say go with the new icons. A big graphical overhaul like that would at the very least, be a good gimmick to pull in some new players and at best give it a better look than those God-awful shrunken overworld icons. Sorry, but whether it's for realism or not that look positively sucks because people are still looking at mutilated ripped icons. Plus, if you want FF:THG to be labeled as anything other than "fangame", then the icons, music and spell names have to go. Edit: "I do not care" was a bad poll option. People who don't care don't need to vote. That way, if they come to a decision later they could still opt for Yes or No. Now they're screwed.

i agree with Sarm on the i do not know thing =/ but oh well, ANYWAY...if you chose an icon for the colour then you got nothing to worry about, we aren't overhauling the kingdom colours...just the icon looks...

Well, it's cool to me to have new icons, but I think it's worthy of mention that a good amt. of people would be confused who don't keep up to date with things like we do and might think that the game just dissapeared b/c of the renaming of the game (Unless it was cut to just The Hunting Grounds) and it might not be as appealing without the FF name in the title. But I think it's good to strip away the FF icons because that's the only thing holding you back from a original game instead of being a fan-game.

Yes, we'd be The Hunting Grounds. As well, it would definately be an advancement, and who knows, maybe a lot of people stay away because of the Fan Game status we have...if we lose the FF aspect, we may get a very large influx of players.

"The Hunting Grounds" part of the name definatly would stay, but it does sound strange without some kind of prefix name to it, so if it ever did happen, we would have to make one. As long as the The Hunting Grounds part is there, no one should miss it.

Skure: The Hunting Grounds
There is another game in the works that has the name Skure in it already, right? It'll help build up a bit of name recognition for the sequel.

Actually it is Skyre now. The sequal takes place on Skyre, the continent, but The Hunting Grounds takes place over all the continents, so it would be strange to the name game by just one area.

I dunno, that just doesn't have quite the same ring to it... But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

If the second involves, namely, just Skyre, and is therefor named as such, then why not do the same for this game? Darlow, The Hunting Grounds.

I don't really care...the FF icons look good and all, but if you want to remake all the icons(which I think will take a long time), go ahead.

Well, I have to agree that Darlow: The Hunting Grounds doesn't sound as interesting... sounds very English. Maybe you should rename the continent to something that'll sound cool in the title. Good luck with the music and icons!

This change is not something happening in version eight, so it will not affect its release.
