>>30705899It's difficult to excuse now, though. FFVII (minus the FMVs) looks like shit now because they were still optimizing things, hence FFX looking better.
By now, though, making a good-looking 3D model off the bat shouldn't have been this hard, especially considering the work they already put into the Pokemon themselves.
What's inexcusable for S/M is how emotionless the main character still is, though. It bugged me in gen VI, and it bugs me now. That empty smile, those emotionless eyes, and the way they constantly zoom in on it as if they're trying to convey something, but can't.
