Yeah classic mistake.
Ohh filters, I think I'll apply them for no reason and assume it looks good. It really doesn't. You have used cutout for the background, with a fair few levels applied, then just drawn an oval and used some layer effects - pattern and bevel / emboss.
The sharpness og the logo looks bad compared to the illegible imagery,the font is too hard to read and that texture unless used for the correct things in the correct way looks really bad.
I assume the reason you used a filter is because the sprite looking thing youve increased in size looks distorted otherwise / doesn't match what ever background image you've put in there.

Yeah, it's because the background was a photo of a forest and with a sprite it just doens't look right. So I applied a filter so it would blend better. Maybe I should add some other things on it. To get a few uhh edges.

if It's any consolation, I think it's good, yet commonly used. the oval and text is the only thing I would destroy. Maybe you should also get the forest photo again, and make the bg look more like a forest and less like a bad cartoon.
Never, never , never use emboss! Worst effect ever, really. The oval is quite hideous as well, and the filters on the background, quite ugly too. The font is ugly and does not blend, go find some tutorials mate. Also, don't put a texture on the oval, it makes me want to gouge out my eyes, sorry.

Ouch. That seems a bit harsh Lac.
It doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out. Just definately not good enough for a title screen. I suggest you start anew. The filters just don't cut it.

It looks pretty good, although a little too... cut-out ish ^_^
One thing that I noticed was that it is not the right size of a pic for RMXP.
They should be 640x480 pixels, otherwise they will be cut off.
One thing that I would suggest you try is to make the person walking in a different layer than the background, and then use the Radial Blur just a little on the rest.
Here is what I mean;

In this pic, I moved the person into another layer, and cut out the text that you put on top. Then, I added a few brush strokes, in several different colors, and then ran radial blur on it again. The radial blur is set to zoom.
Then, for the hero in the middle, I radial blured that as well, blurred the edges, and then placed a glow around it.
Was this your first title that you have made?

too loud and far too cut out (though you've heard that before)
personally I'd simplify it a ton. lemme get back to you on that.
