Which do you prefer? Do you think charcters in a game should look as real as possible, or game-ish?
Personally I am all for realism, as it helps me be more serious about the story.
What do you all think?
Basically, I’ll accept whatever Square decide to code. 🙂
"going back" suggests that there is only one direction, from deformed graphics to realistic graphics. I think that’s simplifying matters.
IX’s graphics worked very well with the game, and X’s worked very well with this game, same for VIII… And as long as it fits, the style itself isn’t that overly important. I’d not scream "No!" at a less realistic design if it was in harmony with the game itself.
