hmmmm…. It’s mostly character design and lack of a XBX sequel instead? I’ve played the original for over 70 hours now and I really like the game, but it wraps up with no loose threads. XBX ends on a cliffhanger. Nuff’ said.

Also a lot of people I’ve been talking to dislike the art direction and character design. As someone who has spent a very large portion of the last few months studying the original, I can understand how the ‘generic anime’ approach could undermine some of the darker themes seen in both previous games.

It’s not like we were told we’re never getting an X sequel? Also X has only been out for less than two years, barely over a year for people outside of Japan. It still has life in it.

And it’s kind of presumptuous to judge a game by a trailer that’s less than two minutes long. I’m not a fan of the animu style either, but I know better than to judge something by its art style. Seems to me that people are being unreasonably resistant to change at best, and looking a gift horse in the mouth at worst.
