Let me ask an unrelated question: What type of filtering have you done to the Tokiwa Graphics battlebacks to make them look retro like that? If it's not a complicated process, maybe you wouldn't mind sharing?
Thanks.

I should build a tutorial, since I've had the question asked in a few different places. The short answer is I use a Time Fantasy Palette (unofficial, since Jason insists there is no TF palette) in PixaTool (awesome program!) and a 3x3 pixelization rate. Then in Photoshop do a "nearest neighbor" 3X enlargement to get the size of the image back for default RPG Maker MV. And that's about it.
I'm sure there are other programs that do similar things, like palette manipulation and enlargement, so you can substitute as needed. I intend to put the TF palette I use on LOSPEC one of these days, but I'm hesitant because Jason is not a fan of pushing it out.
P.S. I love Tokiwa's work.
