Outline 1 got my vote as it looks closest to the original and personally speaking I prefer it that way.

But was that point properly explained when you made the poll? I don't expect many people on the board to know Arabic and/or Hebrew; I imagine they just went with what sounded cool.
For what it's worth, some of us working on the project (myself included) wanted to use the word "Colossus," and I even pushed strongly for it.

But the people have spoken, and there's nothing that can be done about it now. It's impossible to make everyone happy.

The fact that "bahamut" and "behemoth" are the same word in two different languages doesn't even matter with this game because in the Square-Enix world, they are not the same word. If you want to argue with the choices this forum has made, you may as well argue with the company that popularized the two words as completely different monsters. Not only is this the case in Squeenix games, but in Dungeons & Dragons mythos as well.

For some reason I think if the styling in 3 was pure black, it would look better, but it would probably make it hard to read since the background is dark-ish.

Man, you guys are making this decision hard for us! :(

Before we decided to put up the poll, the project members were also exactly 50-50 on the votes!

This may come down to a coin toss between #1 and #4.

I liked 4 better. The shadow makes it look more natural.

You really should have set a final date for the poll when you created it. :/

Random deadline would be as arbitrary as a coin toss though. And you know, maybe a bunch of shadowed-text fangirls would wait until the very last minute and then spam 100 votes, crushing the dreams of non-shadow text lovers everywhere. Nobody thought it would turn out so even though. TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS: BLOOD OF BAHAMUT SHADOW BLACK AND NO-SHADOW WHITE.

Had I set a deadline, I would have made it a week from the day the poll first went up. My reason is that not everyone logs onto this forum every day--some people do it on weekdays when they're at school or work, others can only log on during the weekends. I wanted to make sure that we got as many votes as possible.

That deadline would have been today. Seeing as how divided it is right now, I don't think a deadline would have made a difference in this case.

But you're right--it is good practice to set a deadline for any poll. I'll bear that in mind the next time I create one :)

The idea of a Blood of Bahamut: Director's Cut attracts me the more I think about it :P
