Hello superfroge,
I regret to inform you that your map is being rejected.
The theme is original, as we only have one Final Fantasy IX map, and it isn't related to this specific creature, so good job on that! However, your build may get confused for a tree map, which is highly unoriginal.
The build is accurate to the original creature, so good job on that! The build does appear to be a bit flat; I recommend maybe expanding the leaves a bit, or just generally making the build bigger!
The parkour has a decent amount of variety throughout, and it is incorporated with the theme quite nicely, so good job on that! However, the length is a bit short for a hard map, so I would try adding some more jumps to help it fit the difficulty more!
Thank you for submitting your map, I would love to see more submissions from you!
Have a nice day,
Kristina
