SaGa Frontier sprites

[Reichu]

Which tool are you using?

I ripped the monster tile sheets with TileMolester. The results are identical to those you'd get with VRAM; it was just more convenient, since I knew the palette offsets and could just grab the tiles straight off the disc image. That said, I do use PSX-VRAM frequently for other things, so understanding this false-color thing you've mentioned would be to my benefit. I don't think I fully grasp it.

as far as I can see from the ingame screen, it's supposed to be like that.

I try to be careful, and take lots of in-game screenshots so I know what the assembled sprites are supposed to look like. (And because some tile sheets are much more of a jigsaw than others, sometimes taking screenshots for reference is absolutely necessary.) Yeah, sometimes the game itself makes counterintuitive decisions. For example, in the Kitty Kicker sheet, I didn't recreate the exact "frames" for animations because the game MISALIGNS tiles in order to artificially create extra poses. I'll post pictures if anyone's curious what I mean, but needless to say I don't hate myself enough to bother with that.
