You're a day late on this. YOU SUCK. Okay, not really. I just never felt like posting it so I'm glad you did. I'm wondering if there's an actual story or if it's just one of those abstract things where you'll find out as you play and is apparently very deep. Either way, it looks beautiful. I'm just worried about it being boring. No doubt it's PRETTY(omg so beautiful ;-; ) but still. >>
Oh, it looks pretty! The only thing I don't really like, is the character design. It seems a little lazy compared to the surroundings? The lack of arms etc.
Simple designs do not mean laziness. The character's details evolve when gathering these floating papaer scroll things and increase the length of your tassel thing. Mario and Link are quite simply designed characters, yet are the most iconic video games characters. When I saw a long demo of it on IGN a while back it reminded me of Okami a bit, with the environment taking its own. A nice magical platformer. It also gives the illusion of large expansives to go to, similar to Halo level designs, where there is a fixed path, but on a large scale.
Good point. I didn't necessarily mean it negatively. I would like to see a bit more detailed character design. The more details in surroundings, the more details I would like to see in the characters.
