    JavaScript error on the main page:
    Line 2 Char 29...syntax error.

    Got two broken imgs among the little anim gifs...

    Couple of hints...
    Try making the links stand out a bit more, they kind of all run together
    and that can be a bit confusing.
    Also, It seems the main img you've used onthe main page should be a link
    (to where, I don't know).
    To make it more of a header for your site, place it above the links.

    The counter should be lower on the page, preferably a bit smaller, and right on the bottom.

    Add a <doctype> and condense your source code (I noticed alot of blank returns)

    Hope this helps you out!

    I would get rid of those little animated gifs. They just slow the site down and look kinda cheesy. Maybe even place one on each page (if you really like them). Try to tidy up the menu. And don't use so many colors. Some of them are hard to read on a black background. Try using the same 2 or 3 colors throughout the site. Maybe create some small Final Fantasy images for each page using Photoshop (or similar program). Just try to make each page uniform (so they look like they belong together).

    Oh god...the music just kicked in. Get rid of that. If you need sound, pick something from the Flashkit Sound Loops area.

    Anyways...good luck. You'll get better with more experience and practice. Just study how some other people on Flashkit do things. I don't mean copy them...but use them as inspiration.

    Peace!

    Definitely a step in the right direction. Now I'd work on the font sizes and colors. Some of the "Secrets" page is difficult to read. The dark colors don't work well on a black background....and I'd make the text on the bottom of the "COTM" page a little smaller. When the text is that big, it's like your screaming at people.

    It's getting better though!

    I went around the site looking at font size and changes some of it.

    The text on the secrets page is all one color set, mainly blues.

    so the sites looking better? yea!

    Hmmm nice color on the nav.
    maybe changing the font to "arial" or "verdana" could make it look better.

    Heres a little tip about font usage.
    Times new roman is normally used for reading matter.
    In your site you got a lot of reading matter like walkthroughs etc.

    Arial and Verdana look a bit better Use them for navigation A good size is "2" for verdana And "3" for times new roman.

    i agree with the person who suggested verdana, use a screen font as opposed to a book font, sans serif is good. the pictures seem to be haphazardly spread out, try to left justify them and place the caption text near them in a smaller font (8pt to 10 pt.) is good for captions. your color scheme kicks ass, keep it throughout, i like the blues with the white on the black bckrnd. the standard horizontal rules are a bit formulaic, so is the standard dark blue, try adding a little red to it.
    bueno suerte
