For those of us who hate the way the job master stars look, I've created 3 dats which serve to replace the imagery used. Feel free to make suggestions, critiques, etc. The dats are available here: http://ffxidats.caarrie.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1359
suggestion: a reflective highlight, in art it is called
"Specular highlights" like you'd see on chrome or gold. Color scheme like that of the shield that won the contest. (Beatific shield).
it would be easier to make in a 3D program with lighting... just make a star shape, extrude it, and bevel it, then mess with light sources till it has a bunch of Glint to it.
