Urban Fantasy is an experimental JRPG featuring an urban environment, social problems, thrill, fantasy and fun. In order to melt these two different aspects (Urban and Magic) the game focuses on the commonly excluded social cathegories which you never heard something about when playing traditional JRPGs like students, salarymen, policemen, poors etc... as well as a representation of an environment which has a strong narrative potential. Subsequently such a setting gives us room to portray an URBAN kind of magic, dealing mainly with the popular kinds of arts we usually witness everyday on walls, tv etc.. as Psychic abilities, Graffiti, Cyber abilities, Rapping etc... Just an example...
The story of the game will unfold among different cities/nations/MNCs (resembling many from the world we live in) and various characters striving to seek a greater power able to change the whole balance of power, creating new threats and erasing the old ones.
For now the game is just in an evaluation phase, SO each single like will be decisive to decide its possibility of being done.

Judging from the screenshots the backgrounds looked very trippy somewhat and somehow filled with unnecessary image filters as well. The characters looked nice but make the background looked more clearer in contrast with the anime art style. The user interface needs to be minimalist as the images shown has very obscuring interface.
thanks for your comment! :)
At the moment, as I've written, everything's still in an evaluation and definition phase so with a proper UI/Pixel Artist. As many others have also told me an image actually can't express the "video" motion effect of the layers over the battleground so I'll provide you a "Before and After" video as soon as I can, to illustrate you also a bit of gameplay ;)
