I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT HAIR I LIKE ON HER MORE. HALP. @_@

[sea1111]

Looks more like a wide, frilly, belt

[yoshiblue]

Snip...

Eh, I have things I can point out but I also feel that its not my place to judge things based on my standards. If someone wants help with an aspect of their character, they they want help. So i'll be likely more prone to offer my two cents. But if you're so eager to prove you have the stones big enough to require a custom saddle and treat this thread like an ideal fashion thread, be my guest. I just hope you will be committed to that decision.

[Keilyn]

Ah Yoshiblue..

I can be lukewarm... Doesn't mean I'm going to be a fashion nazi you know...
^_^

[yoshiblue]

Never believed you would act like one. I just want to see who will go through with it, and an excuse to say stones so big they need a custom saddle.

[Sacrificial]

Old setup I would have still liked if not for the skirt being ubershort with terrible looking old age panties

Spoiler!

Ok, Here is my first attempt at focusing this thread if people are willing to participate and contribute to it. I want to introduce a seasonal theme for us as well as an action theme, which fall in line with the limited quest; and a challenge theme to get others involved.

Here are the type of Screenshots I'd like to see:

Spoiler!

Solo-Shots: PSO-W has far too many solo-shots, but nevertheless they are important. Show each other what you can do Solo based on the parameters that exist in themes.
Duo-Shots: Bring a friend and have some fun! It will add a completely new dimension along with its complexities to screenshots.
Group-Shots: Anything three players and up.... Would be nice to see some of these float around.

Here are the three themes and their rules to reflect the themes:

--------------------------------------------------------
Season Theme - Summer

Spoiler!

School is out!! ...marking the beginning of the Summer Break for many ^_^. While any map can be used for this theme, I want to focus on the Coast Map. The coast map has a Day/Night Cycle, as well as access to a good array of weather conditions. The sky lights up when the Beize explodes (I always let it explode for Super Treatment). This map is also amazing for using Environmental Lobby Actions as well... The beach is also there and it looks nice on Tier 6 graphics on the water line.

Summer has always been about getting out of your comfort zone and adventuring (trying out new things). See what you can come up with alone, in pairs, and in groups...

Theme Restrictions

Spoiler!

Map Restriction: No Restriction (Priority on Coast)
AC Scratch Restriction: No Restriction (Can use anything from AC scratch)
FUN Scratch Restriction: No Restriction (Can use anything from FUN scratch)
Shot Restriction: Any Angle, Any Type, Any Form (No Naked Mod)
Mag + Weapon: No Restriction (Can opt to use them or not)

Notes and Inspiration

Spoiler!

This is a theme anyone can enter and early on in video games, everything was about a character in a battle or in an action, but then games like PSO came out where the looks of the character can also represent a character out of a battle. This is one of the elements that makes me stick to Phantasy Star. Greatest Inspiration for characters has always seen looking at what everyone else wears and tries be it in-game or through this thread

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Action Theme - Assault

Spoiler!

Not all fashion exists to feel the breeze within the world. A lot exists to look good while chasing dreams and fighting the bloodiest of the bloodiest battles out there. Where it takes two to fight makes for another fashion break! What would you wear when called upon to take the battle straight to the heart of the enemy?

Post your best screenshots of your character in action against the enemy. Intend for the shot to be a heavy fighting environment, meaning having the dead enemy in the screenshot, or your friends in the background (or both with all hell breaking loose). Your character in fashion should have as much meaning as what is going on in the background. Due to this being a battle, your weapon and mag should be showing!

Restrictions

Spoiler!

Map Restriction: EQs, UQs, LQs and AQ (At high level can make the map look like a warzone)
Shot Restriction: Shots must have a battle in the background or either someone alive or dead, not counting yourself. (No Naked Mod)
AC Scratch: No Restriction (Anything can be used)
FUN Scratch: No Restriction (Anything can be used)
Mags: Must have a mag... ^_^
Weapons: Must include weapon (can use weapon camos)

Notes and Inspiration

Spoiler!

We are so focused on our casual looks that sometimes we forget about our battle looks. We tend to separate fashion and battle when taking screenshots and so I thought a theme that combines the two would work. When actions speak louder than words, a picture can say more than a thousand words. Sometimes a picture sends a message to a crowd without one ever having to speak. If empathy exists, we can understand...

Think about the kind of moment do you wish to present. What is the message you want to send? The entire shot should combine to capture a moment. Should be interesting since this game is extremely Anime-ish and we have seen just about everything in anime.

This theme is good to establish in roleplaying things like age, personality, relationships, power, etc. Some of my characters are "apprentices" and "secondary characters" in the environment. Not everyone has to always portray themselves as the main star of the show. Oh yes, captions can go far in establishing or changing meaning of a shot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Challenge Theme - Blast from the Past

Spoiler!

Think back to the days when the game started and a lot didn't exist. We waited and waited for scratches and finally we might even have too much! So lets try it....

I want to see what you can conjure up using only FUN SCRATCH Items + Start Costumes (Ep1-4) + Secret-phrase items.....This means no AC Scratch items. To help you out, here is a link to the Este from SWIKI http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%8...82%B9%E3%83%86 to look at the list.^_^

Restrictions

Spoiler!

AC Scratch Restriction: Forbidden (Nothing from AC Scratch including AC based Lobby Actions)
FUN Scratch Restriction: Anything from FUN SCRATCH
Costume Restriction: Start Costumes from Episode 1 - 4 + Fun Scratch Costumes (No Modded Costumes).
Lobby Actions: All Fun Scratch Lobby Actions, All Secret phrase earned lobby actions...
Shot Restriction: No Restriction (No Naked Mod)
Weapon Restriction: No Restriction (Can be equipped or unequipped)
Mag Restriction: No Restriction (Can be equipped or unequipped)

Notes and Inspiration

Spoiler!

I wanted something anyone can enter without so much hardship. I also wanted at refreshing the thread. The fact remains the very first few times are magical in RPG character creation. Keilyn has represented my heart since Phantasy Star Universe and since then I've noticed that I always try to create a "better" and more "Accurate" Keilyn with each version of the game. I hope that through the character creator one can draw the inspiration to recognize which characters look better exposing more skin and which ones look better completely covered up. There is such a thing!

Disclaimer: This is a fashion thread meaning a lot of what exists is subjective. When posting any screenshot, please be comfortable in posting it prior to submitting your reply. Whether a shot is intended to be sexual, non-sexual or just plain cute; the expression of a screenshot is bound to our portrayal of our characters in our own image. Please think about this before replying to another in belief that they may be "wrong" about their looks, style, or form. We are our characters, and our characters are ourselves.

However, also think about the fact we are human. We have many ways to express and show what we like and do not like! Please do so in a decent way, because in my eyes staying silent when one should speak is its own tragedy. Don't lose your window of opportunity to say what you feel must be said...or else you might regret or beat yourself up over it later.
