ya, I did a quick sloppy edit for you

the pose turned alot less dynamic in the eidt but I think it still adresses the main problem.  Due to the way he is facing, the left side of his body (our left) is closer to the view, and as such should be closer to the bottom of the image.  And the right side of his body (our right) is farther from the viewer and so should be closer to the top of the image.  So basically to put him into the space the right side of his body should be higher than the left whereas youve done the opposite.

Thanks.

I also think the Hero's pose is off, but can't quite put my finger on it, any ideas?

pretty cool, I too saw the ffa resemblance.  Both screens are awesome, but the hero's pose in the battle screen looks a little off.

this is very well done ^_^

Saw the resemblance to both games before I even clicked the preview. Good job.

The menu isn't pretty yet :)

 look's good, but where is the menu?
