So here's (http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/aerithfreak/1191308/59069/59069_original.jpg) a mock-up of an FFVII remake menu screen I made about a year ago.

Deliberately used XBOX buttons to incite PS rage!

That's a pretty nice interface design, though I think the character portraits on the right look out of place.

[Aulayna]

Yeah I agree, sadly I lack the artistic skill to make more modern versions of the older portraits.

[CimminyCricket]

I liked it too, but I agree with the portraits on the right looking out of place. It was a good idea, but I don't know if it works with the portraits that are there.

I like it, looks nice. Crisp. Dunno how you tell if they're front/back row though! :greenie:

[Rantz]

Oooh, that's neat. Sort of makes me want to try and design a remake menu as well!

[kotora]

It's already more effort than all of S-E put into the PC re-release of FF7

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I think it looks great, although it makes me wonder if Aerith is KO'ed or you've passed "that" point in the game.

[Shorty]

I quite adore that, my dear!

If you check the location along the bottom, you'll find your answer ;) I think it's a great touch!

[LordKefka]

Wow. I really like it. Seems to borrow a bit from FFXIII's menu, but the whole thing does have a much more modern feel to it. Well done!

Ah, yes! I didn't even read that down there.

*necro'ing own thread*

So would people be interested in seeing other mock-ups (such as maybe the battle interface - minus the character models) if I sat down and made any?

Just noticed this gem of a thread! Huh. I love the interface, and while the portraits to look slightly out of sync, they are still very passable for a first run. It looks crisp, modern, while still retaining some VII charm. How do you tell who's in the front/back row though?

I would love to see the battle interface! And maybe any other interface that there is in VII. Great work Aulayna! :)

[Aulayna]

There's no way of telling who'd be front or back right now. That honestly slipped my mind when I made it. :)

[Formalhaut]

That's okay, I guess you could just use a small symbol to indicate front or back. Maybe like a stylised F or B.

I'd be very happy to use that menu interface anyway! Can't wait to see more!

[chionos]

Yep, more is good. And not just because of Amy Acker.
No, I don't have a thing for Amy Acker, get off my back.
Seriously, I'm not totally mesmerized by her. I'm not. Really.

Enjoyed the mock-up, even though I wish I could just forget FFVII forever. Look forward to seeing more.

[Quindiana Jones]

Me likey! It's a very snazzy design, and seeing Aerith down there made me chuckle. I don't even want to think about how long people would spend trying to revive her with Phoenix Downs if this menu were in the game. xD

Definitely want to see more.

Looks excellent, very clean and appealing. :D
