About this mod
A portrait art replacement mod that attempts to redraw the original Yoshitaka Amano style portraits with more detail and color similar to the GBA versions of FFIV & FFV with a choice of 3 different presets that represents the alternate looks of the main cast.

Edgar's New Look is my attempt at brushing up the portrait art to the main cast of FFVI. I have a strong attachment to these characters and their art but some small things that had bugged me like which direction Edgar was looking always confused me(In-game I had always thought he was looking upwards), why Celes' face was so obscured, what that thing was to the left of Gau, etc. inspired me to make this mod.
When the first PC port of FFVI dropped, one of the few things I loved about it was the redrawn portraits. I respect the decisions of the Pixel Remaster to go with the original art style but I personally wanted to give these characters a fresh coat of paint like FFIV and FFV had gotten on the GBA. I referenced as much of the original art from Amano's drawings & Old Version portrait redraws, Shibuya's sprites and Nomura's Dissidia art to spin-offs like Opera Omnia and Pictlogica to make my portraits as authentic and varied for preference as I could and have come up with three different presets to choose from:
You'll spot some similar portraits in each preset and some different but I tried my best to organize our main casts various looks into these 3 presets I think are most agreeable. But regardless, I've included a guide within the download to customize per player preference, luckily for you just a matter of moving some files which is easily done.
The process took a lot longer than I thought it would, around two weeks of labor that took more out of me than I'd like to admit. If you like my work, donations are much appreciated! :) Follow me on twitter also:@stigma_male

I've included Full Frame Textbox Portrait support for ENL! Big thanks to @metalliguyAU for providing the modding framework. Check out his original Textbox Portraits (Full Frame) mod here! I highly recommend his work, especially the T-Edition sprites!
Don't forget! You MUST install Shiryu's Classic Text Box Framework (FFVI) for Full Frame Textbox Portraits to work properly! Otherwise, Kefka's portrait WILL show up on random NPCs.
Thank you to @Shiryu for their great work, check out their mods too!
--Full Frame Textbox Portraits for Edgar's New Look--
I've included the three main presets for Full Frame Textbox Portraits: Series Canon, Pixel Preference and More Faithful as well as 2 variations: Series Canon with beardless Sabin and More Faithful with Green-haired Terra. Though I've only included support for the Stock UI textbox frames. If you have another mod installed for the UI that changes the textbox frame somehow these won't be compatible. This makes the Kefka, Cid and Ghestal portraits viewable in-game!
Special thanks to the good folks in the Moogles & Mods discord for their help, Orgaz, Loght AND my friend D for providing feedback and suggestions and Saftle, Enfyve and Metalliguy for modding guides and resources.
