Microsite is live!
No, not XSEEDs. It's actually my microsite I've been working on for the game. As the news update says, I'm not that happy with the design. I don't have PSDs of the artwork like I did in the past, so I couldn't just pull a high-res backdrop for it. So unfortunately the background image is a bit choppy and pixelated. I also just didn't have the amount of time to really put something amazing together. Still, it's up, so enjoy.

Oh, and tell me if you find any problems with it.

That is classy. Shame XSeed won't let you make the official one like Ubisoft did.
One mistake I noticed: Royce & Phacia's bios have Ghaleon's text.

Re: Microsite is live!
I knew I should have looked over the characters bio's better. I wrote those in a hurry and used Ghaleon's as placeholders. I'll try and get that later today.

The text gets cut on character bios for me. Its the same on Chrome, Firefox and IE.

Re: Microsite is live!
Damn, great job G1! The only thing that is a little bothersome is the picture shifting. I can't help but feel a filmstrip style for the images may have looked better, and reminiscent of WD's packaging for the original remakes. In some panels it works, and others it's just a little congested looking. I understand what you were going for, and XSEED should take a good look at what you've done here. We, after all, are the epitome of Lunar fandom.
I think the main splash page looks fantastic, and if the characters scrolled a little more fluidly it would be perfect.
As creator of "Poll of the Souls," which I released on Christmas Day so many years ago... I would like to thank you and everyone else involved with this site, and all things dedicated to one of our most cherished series that doesn't get the recognition it truly deserves. To all things Lunar, Ghaleon One you are a shining soul.
"Ahhhhh, you are indeed the brave one. You have proven the purity in your heart."

Re: Microsite is live!
Yeah, I might try and touch up the character scrolling effect a little at some point. After it gets done loading each of them, it kinda jumps at first, based on where the mouse is.
As for XSEED, I'm sure they have something planned, and likely use an outside agency to design a lot of their microsites (see the Wizard of Oz website for an example). They have the luxury of having PSDs of everything too, so I imagine mine won't compare to their microsite in the end, but I did the best with what I had. That's not me complaining at all though, as I don't really have the time to put anything better together right now. I have two massive websites I have to have launched for other projects by January 22nd (I'll post them here when the time comes, as one of them will have relevance to LunarNET in a small way). If there's a EB remake or true Lunar 3, you can rest assured, I'll be putting together something massive for it, given time.
Anyways, Sonix, let me know if the character description text still cuts off. I built a small "fix" in that I hope might take care of it (you may have to clear your cache first). Also, text for Phacia, Xenobia and Royce have been added.
Oh, and SP, I don't know if I ever told you, but the year after you did the original Poll of the Souls, I took that tradition to Althena's Court Online, which I'm sure you've heard of, but if not, it was a collection of Lunar fans on AOL way back in the day. Many of the posters here (Kiz, Jenner, Sonic, etc.) are remnants of that. We kept that tradition going for quite a few years. Haven't done it the past two years, but maybe next year we should do it for the entire boards here.

Re: Microsite is live!
I just checked it out and the site looks pretty good to me! I would like to add that Xenobia, Phacia, and Royce still have Ghaleon's bio.

Re: Microsite is live!
May need to refresh your cache then. The XML has been updated. In fact, just go re-load this page and it'll probably fix it:

Re: Microsite is live!
Wow G1 I’m impressed. It's nice, clean and uncluttered everything that I think makes a site great. BTW I really liked the character collage w/ the character bio’s it brings out all the characters emotions. Good stuff!

Re: Microsite is live!
I heard of Althena's Court Online, but since I was never an AOL'er it wasn't on my radar. I don't know enough about the new posters here and there really only seems to be a smaller percentage of active posters on L-Net currently. The original poll was a lot of work as I had people email me about what they would like to say for each person, and then compile the comments to make a post about each individual person. I had spent the majority of Christmas Eve night into Christmas day getting it all done.
Of course the Lunar community was far more active back then, and hopefully we can see an influx of new fans. On a side note, your projects are due on my 30th birthday (Jan 22nd).

Re: Microsite is live!
Nope, they still have Ghaleon's bio and the second link you posted doesn't work. I'm getting a pink screen "xml parsing error" that says "not well-formed."
