All of the personas are also edited

Well there you go, completely updated. There's some that aren't because it isn't practical to ever actually see them. If you have any requests ask or post in this thread.

I have so many criticisms about these icons, mostly about how much of them do a horrible job of matching their graphic information to the skills they are suppose to represent.

Like the puppet skills that use chains in place of strings. Or that Way of the Gun is some random buff man that could easily represent the skill Berserk. Shooting rush could be mistaken for charging strike. Flash launcher could be mistaken for an archery skill because it's an arrow tip. Evasion doesn't look like evasion, since its just a foot and not clearly showing any acts of evasion. Dual gun mastery only shows one gun in the icon.

I also criticize that none of the skillsets are not categorized by the colors that the default icons the game paints them with. This means that it'll take even longer for the player to recognize the icons when they need to use skills, since the icon colors makes the skills distinctive on what type they are. Like magic skills are blue, warrior skills are red, life skills are yellow and so on.

The skill icons in the vanilla game are all results from careful conscious design decisions that makes each and every skill recognizable as well as easy to read and reasonable to compare to the actual skill. There are more to icons than just highly detailed and edgy pictures. And it is the responsibility of the person designing these HD icons to enhance the player's gameplay through improved graphical UI, instead of confusing and harming it.

How about this:
A) You make your own
B) You don't use these
C) Learn what criticism is
D) gtfo

Wow we got yet another hater, However there is a point I'm gonna make and your not like it at all. You didn't make these icons nor did you contribute to the development of said icons so if your gonna be critical of how they look, first figure out a way to make it less "confusing" as you put and don't be such a freaking prick!

*Waves* So I have a bit of a question. Were you going to be doing the bard and life skill icons by chance Imagine? The icons are gorgeous themselves. If I was any good with editing graphics, I'd help, but er.. Yeah. ^^;

Well, I'm not exactly good at it myself, and I was using Icons from other games, and those games don't really seem to have a "music" factor in them, so unless I can find some good musical ones I'm not sure, other than that, life skills is the hardest one. There's a lot and I'm not sure where I could get those from.

But I guess it's always a possibility

If you know a game with such music Icons, please, tell me and I'll do it right away

[padawan]

are there any plans to update these or no?

Maybe, I just need to find something to replace the ninja skills and then the bard skills.
