it's best not to show any respect or admiration for your development team's efforts. that's the kind of charisma that makes a project truly flourish

this isn't some nuanced issue about values and color saturation and composition and perspective... like if you have any sort of basic human sensory perception you should be able to look at this and see pure digital refuse
part of learning what makes things beautiful is understanding what makes other things ugly. just looking at an ugly thing and dismissing it with 'bad' is all well and good, but doesn't teach you anything -- there's a lot to learn, though, if you dig into it and try to find out what went wrong.

i'm not saying that stuff doesn't matter i'm saying it doesn't require specialized knowledge of visual arts to recognize that it is horrible, which makes it especially mystifying that anyone, including the authors, thinks it is acceptable

some things are horrible in ways that only artists can readily detect. this isn't one of them

Legend of Vanadia

That's really fucked up... Aten was a familiar face in the RM scene for a very long time. Even people I wasn't necessarily friends with or talked to often, I feel some sort of kinship with just from sharing that 'culture' together... especially someone who goes back as far as him, so I feel very sad hearing this news.

Final Fantasy 6 Remake!

it looks like one of those rpg maker game threads that looks so bad it's actually mystifying how the kid managed to fuck up the graphics that much

did they apply a smoothing filter and then put it in graphicsgale and move the adjust color sliders around randomly and then put it in photoshop and add 400% contrast then add a bloom filter or something

like remember around 2005ish when some people started to use those 2xsai or whatever filters on rpg maker sprites and most 13 year olds around at the time knew enough to laugh at them... but evidently the professional team at this global scale game developer isn't at that level of artistic sophistication

this isn't some nuanced issue about values and color saturation and composition and perspective... like if you have any sort of basic human sensory perception you should be able to look at this and see pure digital refuse

setting aside for a moment the question of what the fAK is happening in their brains at SE, there's these ostensibly conscious lifeforms commenting that it actually looks better now??? idk what planet i am on anymore

also i don't even grind 1 extra battle when i play ff6 difficulty patches like eviltype or brave new world so somehow needing to grind on the original game is just incomprehensible lol ?? i don't know.
