Hmm, as much as I like staying true to the original I like the idea of red digital clock look.

Digital clocks' 8 segment display format is far too over done in games... I liked FFVII's clocks because it had that oldschool digital clock look... (IE: A neon sign clock)

In fact the numbers weren't made in segments at all as far as I can tell from the original.

Eidos did a terrible job with the graphics...

anyway...

Do we have the materia and slots even started yet?

in red

and purple

As to the numbers being split or not, I did my best at deducing what to draw from the low rez image. As to eidos... all the graphics are the same as psx version... just badly displayed on a computer.

Looks good. I like the red myself. Gunna see if i can resize these and get a screen ingame

I dunno. Once it all goes hi res it kinda makes it hard to read in game. Is it just my opinion?

Make the lines a bit thicker but only when red.

i'll just connect them all lol

Should we scrap the background grey? or maybe make it more like an alarm clock?

When images are upscaled the way eidos did it, the antialiasing spots can become more prominent, so instead of making the image look smoother, it cuts holes into it... I think that's what you're seeing in the eidos counters...

The original, I'm quite certain, was attached and have darker areas around the curves in order to smooth them out... those areas are the gray blotches between the parts of the numbers in the PC version... that is what I believe.

the PSX version looked like a neon light display. Try using a dark color for the numbers then adding some glow to the center of them.

I don't like it. The original display was supposed to emulate a nixie tube.
