Hey guys, here's a very simple demonstration of what a battle with an animated enemy might be like. I think it's a possibility that should be given some thought.


EDIT: You can now evade and the enemy has different frames when it attacks.

It would take a lot of backgrounds to do that with multiple enemies. Assuming that you used background battle animation. Otherwise, good job.

I'm not sure why people seem to think it was done with animated backgrounds, but yeah it was done with enemy sprites. Animating the backgrounds would simply breathe more life into the battles.

Also by using enemy sprites, you could manipulate it so say when an enemy is about to do a certain attack, the enemy pose and frames change completely to indicate something is about to happen, so you can plan accordingly, then have it so when its attack is over, it changes back to the original frames.

Or, you can have an enemy with two different 'modes', or even more and so on. Not that this can't be done already, but adding different frames and such to do this would make it more interesting.

SaGaFrontier also does it. I really like this. You can plan ahead. :-)
