anyone else here hate the new dialogue font?
« on: November 25, 2008, 04:26:30 pm »
is it just me? do i really love the original "square chicago v3" (v1 is ff5, v2 is ff6) that much that i can't stand to see any other font used as the ctds dialogue font? seriously?

if anyone ever plans on hacking a ctds rom, can the restoration of the font (maybe even the system font) be one of the changes?

I don't really hate it, but I prefer the SNES ones...

I'm fine with both fonts...

I like the DS one better.

I can live with the DS font, but if we can get the SNES/PSX font back I wouldn't really mind using the SNES font.

I like the new one...It's smaller (makes sense for the DS), can thus fit more letters in, but you can still read it fine. Unless it's like Impact or something truly ugly, I don't see the big deal with what font is used...

I dunno why, but I've been hating all the Squeenix GBA/DS redux fonts. I don't know why it would be a screen-size issue, since none of the redux games I've seen have had any graphic reduction problems. The original CT font was the best.

Too bad the original CT font is all Japanese-y...If I understood it, I'd totally agree with you though! They can fit way more into their characters than we can. It's really unfair when you think about it! >_>

I think he meant the font for CT SNES.

I'm pretty sure that V was subtly teasing, since the 'original' font that was being talked about isn't the original, the japanese font was.

Are you seriously bitching about a font? You really need to sort out your priorities. It's not like it's in fucking Wingdings or some illegible shit. I personally prefer the CTDS font, but as long as I can read what's going on either way it's really not even worth discussing.

I agree. However, I do prefer the SNES font, myself, though I'm not complaining.
