Follow-up on screenshots.

Just wanted to say the Viamontian armor and weapons seem to be coming along quite well. Sawato looks a tad nicer with the detail on the meeting hall and other objects really being brought out.

This is reposted from VN boards. I'm concerned with the focus of these graphic updates. I've showed the comparisons to a few non-AC friends and the unianimous reaction is "dude, they didn't really change anything".

Some prefer icing. I'm into cake. I don't mind the green carpet we run on or blurry stone in the cobbles.

Good for you. Lots of luck, by the way, selling an expansion pack which features green carpet and blurry cobblestones. This game DESPERATELY needs people to buy the expansion pack en masse. And the "en masse" are going to look at the graphics pretty closely before buying. If they see a bunch of screen shots where every character looks like he's running over moldy linoleum, they are going to laugh and put the box back on the shelf. You can get gamerier-than-thou on "graphx horz" as much as you want. The bottom line is: if the graphics don't look better than this in 3 months time, the expansion is going nowhere. The textures are looking pretty good but the main part of the environment that people are going to see still looks comically bad.
