I hope nobody minds... and I don't even know how this looks in Internet Explorer.

i think it's slick and shiny, like childhood memories of going on 3-4 day chrono trigger binge.

Well the green is original, it's quite different from the overall reddish tones of CT and blueish tones of CC. The Kid picture is really nice, it's always good when the artworks used are the less well-known ones (which means I'm not too fond of the Jet Bike picture personally).

If the viewer is in 800x600, the menu is disorganized and 2 icons are hidden by the CT cast though.

It should display just fine at barely less than 800 pixels wide... but I'm just eyeballing it.

Regardless, I cleaned up the CSS a slight bit, since that was being caused by some leftover details from a previous idea. Now the buttons should just overlap the logo (you might have to clear your cache).

I also replaced the missing/404 page.

I like it. I really think it adds a refined and different mood of the site, if you know what I mean. The pictures at the top as well as Kid at the bottom of each page is great.

Very cool Ramsus!

Hrm... I forgot people browsing at high resolutions still maximize their browser windows... At that resolution though, yes, it should look like that.

Are you sure? I could easily change the site to a liquid layout that would take up that space (like the forums).

EDIT: Done. Clear your cache next time you browse the site.

The only Chrono Cross artwork I like happens to be the concept lineart. It looks even better after you add a few screen tones.

I atually prefer that concept art drawing over the other one currently at the bottom. But that's just me. At some times, Kid's head is chopped off due to the "jump to" bar and other things at the bottom of the page also do the same. She also looks a little fat around them hips in that artwork. But all in all I really do like the layout!

Hah! I welcome the change from Japanese Animated Anorexia Syndrome.

Yeah, this one looks much nice, and hopefully it would fit in under the quick reply box! :)

I'll have to ask Zeality to get me a bigger (600dpi) scan of this page without any automatic adjustments made by the scanner software and saved in 24-bit TIFF or PNG format. The current one is what I've been using.

EDIT: this page too.
