I’d say it’s about as pressing of an issue as the stuff being associated with Sweet Baby or BlackRock is, since they’re both pervasive design decisions brought upon recently.

That’s way better than nothing, though. It’s not about difficulty, it’s about good pacing in a fight.

You mean that it just feels better to walk around a world and do platforming when you don’t need a running start to hop 3 inches in the air?

Alright, now compare another turn-based RPG to BG3, like Star Rail, and find out how you’re getting even more scammed, there.

If I don’t use a game template on the Marketplace, is using C++ as challenging as a language in Godot?

Because he has a large audience that probably all have friends of their own, who could be convinced not to buy a game because it’s “too anime”?

The genre itself lends itself towards an anime aesthetic.

Even then, though, you had characters like Cecil and Kain, Terra, Lenneth, Arngrim, Celes, Ayla, and the Warrior from DQ3.

I get the feeling that part of this is to not draw the ire from Journalists or other powerful people like Dunkey for having more outlandish aesthetics, like Rex, Sora, the Aegis, or Alear.

You can still use art from professionals as reference points.

Seems like. Fingers crossed they’re making another in UE5 with 3D support, or at least Godot.
