Hmm - I can see how sprites might differ for the Japanese and Western styles, but how do walls change? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I spent quite a few years obsessed with Japanese comics/animation (before it got mainstream in the U.S.); but now I am back to drawing good ol' western fantasy... In fact, I am annoyed that every Japanese CRPG out there seems to have to make all their characters cutesy, beardless, and, I dunno how to say it, dumb.
Typical Japanese CRPG hero:
Skinny, beardless teenager wielding a sword and wearing pseudo-mecha-armor
