Looking for Phantasy Star III like sprites

[Tryphon]

Hello,

I'm planning to remake Phantasy Star III (I guess Sega won't ever do it anyway).

For this purpose, I'd like to replace the old low-res sprites with better quality ones. Since making all of them from scratch would be too big a task (not speaking of textures and cg), I'd like to find a more recent game (at least from the PSX era) whose graphic style closely resemble the one of PSIII.

Here are the original sprites :



Please note they aren't really like traditional 8/16 bits JRPGs : the head is comparatively smaller, they look "sharper" than, for example, Phantasy Star II or IV sprites. They look a little amidst between Western and Eastern style.

I was told that the sprites of Rhapsody of Zephyr could match, and there's something but proportions need adjusting. I found that War Of Genesis III sprites seem even closer. But they are difficult to hack (most of the tools or documents about the compression used are in chinese or korean).

Do you know of any games that could fit as a basis for graphics ? It's better if its sprites are already in the database, but if it's not the case, I can try to hack them.

Thanks for any help !

Not much success...

Come on ! Doesn't these sprites remind you some more recent game you'd have played?

I don't ask you to rip anything, or to tell me how to do that, I already know.

The problem is that I haven't free time enough to both try every JRPG game or to customize sprites and to code.

Your help would be more than welcome !
