Bird's-Eye View Drawing? PS4

[anwserman]

What perspective did they use to draw everything within the in-world maps for Phantasy Star 4? I'm curious because I really like that graphical style, and I'm afraid that if I just randomly start drawing stuff, everything will be at a different perspective/angle from each other >_>

Anyone know what direction they took with the design?

I made this as a sample.

Does this look visually correct? My friend whose a graphic designer said that if I made a standard unit of measure, like 8 pixels = 1 foot, and made sure each side I'm consistent on both the X and Y axis, I'm good to go.

Use MS Paint.

Use MS Paint.

Thanks for the useless reply.

Glad I could be of service.

Are you making entire maps or just a few select dioram-ic pieces or something?

Either way best to listen to your graphic artist's advice with the same dimensions all the time, or search out the game maker forums, for maybe some programs and advice or help.

Outrider, Niered, maybe some others have talked about that on PSOW a few times, but better to see a more specialized forum for the pixel world making.
