that, and in a similar style FF6 and Chrono Trigger. Dragon Quest 3 and Rudra no Hihou are right up there too.

>>1407398
There's something so lush and beautiful about Square's 2D forest BGs from the SNES era. Don't recall if it really extends to what little they did in 2D on PS1 (Legend of Mana?)

Seiken Densetsu 3 is my favorite SNES games in terms of looks (and a few other things as well)

I'm also going to give a shoutout to the arcade versions of EVERY Capcom fighter. 3S gets a lot of love, but SF2 still looks incredibly smooth to me when played at lower speed levels (read: not Super Turbo)

Darkstalkers also gets love not only for its animation, but also its style. Also, RIP Morrigan Sprite, 1994-2005

muh cracka

Everything by IREM starting from the mid to later '80s up to the mid '90s when those same people left the company and formed Nazca Corporation to make Metal Slug. They were amazingly gifted artists.

Fuck Bahamut Lagoon fucking princess slut you waste half the game on saving NTRs you

>>1407721
>oh no, they didn't go with a stereotypical "hero gets everything" romance

Don't worry, one day you will be a big boy and be able to take rejection like a normal person, even if it is just a damn video game.

To break the SNES streak of this thread, have Knightmare for the Amiga

>>1407757
And Lionheart

>>1407760
>remake
wat

>>1407761
Some dude worked on a remake/port of it for Windows and later Java but apparently didn't release a full version (yet?)

>>1407769

Princess Crown

Lomax
Might & Magic World of Xeen
Hagane

>>1407847

Cyber Doll - Saturn

>>1407415
that filter is so shit ahahhhahaa

>>1407847

i can respect the amount of detail in your picture but fuck do i hate the style and color choice

>>1407415
You're just making it all uglier with that filter, dude. Such disrespect.

>>1407725
This, Maxim friendzones Tia or whatever the whip girl's name was for the other chick and nothing happpens, but the princess chick does it in bahamut lagoon and FUCKING PRINCESS SLUT!

Angry little men are pathetic

>>1407757
That's actually really, really ugly. Lionheart is cool tho

>>1407415

>>1407353

Street Fighter III

>>1407407
Legend of Mana was lush as fuck

>>1408078
>one example

Maybe Tia was just a shit character no one cared about and it had nothing to do with her owning a vag? You sound pretty bitter over there, been rejected a few times yourself I take it?

>>1408872
Maybe the other males in BL lagoon were shit characters and it had nothing to do with them owning a dick? You don't seem to know how projection in a psychological sense works either, because what you implied was ass backwards, I'd abstain from trying to accuse people of it in the future.

>>1408872
There's nothing in that post that suggests a bitterness over being rejected.

>>1407769
>and later Java
*vomits*

>>1408894
You sound like a year 1 who just finished his first psychology 101 class and thinks he (or more likely she) is god's gift to psychology.

>>1408912
Yes, calling men pathetic is a very praising and positive thing to say. I'm not surprised she keeps getting dumped with that attitude.

>>1408918
>Yes, calling men pathetic is a very praising and positive thing to say.

Ahaha. Reading comprehension, dude. He wasn't talking about all men.

>>1408918
I hope this is bait, I really do. I ain't even mad, just concerned.

>>1407415
Something is seriously wrong there.

>>1407415

I partially blame Instagram for this crap.

On Topic: The character portraits, backgrounds, and mechas (espcially when you're customizing in the shop or garage) in Front Mission are great, pic related.

I like the smoothed over look a lot better than filterless; dunno what you fags are on about. It looks like a lovely painting, and that filter doesn't fuck up the text like the one anon implied.

(However, something actually got fucked up in the screencap process, somehow in using Picasa to index screencaps while I was playing on a widescreen television. So some of my screencaps are stretched more than the game looked during play.)

>>1409408

a lovely fingerpainting maybe. i dont even care about filters by and large but that one makes everything look all smudgy and running and terrible

>>1409420
My screen has a lot more pixels in the height/width departments than the originally intended screen. I'll take the impressionist brushwork over harsh, jagged pixel-boxes. And for all y'all's complaining, the filter being used here (probably Super 2xSAI or whatever) is pretty subtle: jaggies are still apparent on the '/' and the '4'; they're just smoothed. (And re: >>1408201 , there is no loss of legibility.) Turn off the filter, and it would look like when you super-zoom an image on MS-Paint in order to make some laser-targeted adjustment to a couple of pixels, since image editing is really the only time I can imagine you'd need to look at pixels in that size.

>>1409471
Don't you think it looks kind of blurry though?

>>1409408
>It looks like a lovely painting

>>1407889
Holy shit, gross.

Xenogears sprites are not hand-drawn, they are pixel-painted. And they look nothing like the weird smudges in your picture.

>>1407353

Let's get some Third Strike up in this business.

Prettiest 2D game ever made, yo.

>>1409897
I always thought SF3 was too animated. Everyone wriggles and wobbles, it just seems like an overkill to me.

>>1409897
>Prettiest 2D game ever made

Funny, SF3 wasn't a Neo Geo game.

>>1409908
Agreed. Metal Slug 3 was probably the prettiest.

>>1409916

Those are fighting words. Street Fighting words.

>>1409919
nigga her hand isn't even connected. that's some ray man shit

>>1409924

It's a visual way of conveying speed, you swine.

>>1409919
SF3 runs at twice the framerate so it's obviously better than any Metal Slug.

>>1409934
It obviously isn't. As I said, SF3 far overdoes it. Too much animation is bad animation.

>>1408863
muh nugget

>>1409924

Speaking of Rayman, it also looked really damn pretty.

>>1409826

>>1409903
That's funny, since they "wiggle and wobble" in a realistic manner.

Now that guy who did the graphics to that Scott Pilgrim game, his animations... now THOSE wiggle and wobble a little bit too much.

>>1410216
Yeah, I used to use the hardest, ugliest filters back in 2004 or so myself. I grew out of that, and so will you. No need to argue about this.

>>1409826

>>1410743
Yeah, and >>1410216 is not unlike a crazy old lady.

>>1410216
Looks fine. Keep it. If you listen to these autists you'll turn into a hoarder with 15 televisions from 20 years ago because they suffer from the same broken mindset that leads hipsters to make FLAC recordings of vinyl.
