Description
Goblin Sword is a mobile game turned full fledged console game that I played back in 2022. I was not a fan of the sprite work nor the lackluster story. The gameplay lacked good feeling and depth. Furthermore, the cheat to get a ton of coins was removed in the Switch version, and the achievement that asked the player to collect 20,000 coins didn't specify that you needed 20,000 coins all at once. It didn't help that I had already exhausted every treasure chest and bought every item. Meaning I had to grind levels I had already beaten for hours to earn that final achievement.
To say I despised beating it 100% would be an understatement.

So, out of pure spite, I started a resprite of the main character last year. It was through my research of fantasy character designs to use as a reference that I found out about Breath of Fire II.
The game dev, no joke, stole Ryu's design from Breath of Fire II almost verbatim. The damn main character.
Shocked by this, I quickly had to change a lot about the character design. I kept the armour and blue hair, but changed the hairstyle to be closer to Cloud Strife. I changed the wristbands to fingerless gloves, the red pants to dark green ones, and changed the red cape to a red bandana. All of these things were originally in Ryu's design.

After sitting on my computer for months, I had forgotten about it.
Now, after rediscovering it, I've fully changed the palette, added extra details, and changed the bandana to a scarf.
This is one of the best sprites I have ever made. So please, admire it for a while with me.
