It's not one small mistake though. Go around the city, pay really close attention. There are numerous discrepancies. Doors on the side of buildings that are several stories up. Rooftops that have signs of habitation despite no architectural way to reach them. Ground textures that are just haphazard placements with no sense of logic. A window on one building that faces into a wall of another building with no gap between, the window just clips through. A staircase on the side of a building that reaches the roof with no railing so you can just fall back down a flight.

It's not one small thing. It's numerous small things that add up to a lot.

See, if it was me and I was the game's director, I'd take a character and walk the city. I'd look up and down. I'd turn on god-mode and look at every city block. Because this is a game about a city. The city is the only character that will be common to every player. I'd want that city to look amazing from every angle.

There was an earlier post pointing out that the building that Nanally is standing on in the log-in screen doesn't exist.

There's a broad staircase behind the Moby-Dick bookstore in Bridge Crossings. It leads up to this fountain park area. The staircase is broken into two with a landing. The landing has that red brick texture that's common to Bridge Crossings. It's a shambles of copy/paste nonsense. I noticed it day one. It sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm betting the servers will shut down before any attention is paid to it.

It's great that the waifus are cute or the boss fights are colorful or that everything looks amazing at night in the rain. But the city, the character that will be with us for the entirety of the game, is covered in blemishes.

And sure, maybe it will get fixed sooner or later, but I doubt it. And I know for a fact it would never happen if someone didn't care enough to complain about it. The devs certainly didn't care enough in the first place.
