Any week we get 10+ icons you will be asked to vote for a special category. Axel & Kei designate the category based on the most fair choice for all the icons submitted (so if it's a mostly textless turnout it won't be best typography!) Here is a glossary of what each category is looking for:
Best Color: Choose the icon that has the best coloring to you. Best Crop: Choose the icon that has the most innovative and/or appropriate crop. Best Typography: Choose the icon in which the text looks the best with the entire composition; has nothing to do with what the text actually says. Best Adaptation: Choose the icon that best represents either the lyrical or word/challenge theme. Best Composition: Choose the icon that has the best overall look, taking color, text (if applicable), and crop into account. Most Emotional: Choose the icon in which the character shows the most emotion (can be any emotion). Most Creative: Choose the icon in which the maker was most imaginative and did something that was unexpected, but still works. Best Caption: Not to be confused with best typography, choose the icon in which the words in the caption work best with the image.
Odin Sphere is seriously one of the most amazing and beautiful RPGs I've seen in a loooooong time. And what makes it better for me is the total 2D-ness.
Yeah, I don't know if it's because I have a large PS2 and the slim ones had a better processor or videocard or whatever... but it's frustrating so I haven't been able to finish that game. It lagged pretty bad when I was up against the Goddess of Death, too.
