More good news for Zelda in America

[big guy]

i never want to see this topic argued again. it's so frustrating to watch you guys argue, it makes me want to never come back to the forum again. i wish we could all just say our opinion on the game, state how we think it could be improved (to suit each of our individual needs), or why it shouldn't be changed and have no further discussion on it.



now that the responsible side of me has had a say...



i have to say that ob1's arguments infuriate me. the way he selectively takes what was said, twisting words, and distorting messages makes me want to scream. it seems like every time somone posts to contradict it they start with a huge disclaimer about "maybe this time i can make you see what i'm trying to say" but it never helps. and i know it's not the fault of the person arguing OB1 because i've been able to follow their logic, and understand them from the beginning.

this newest tangent about OoT being realistic isn't even an issue. no one has ever said it was realistic, just more realistic than WW. and i certainly don't think that the spaceworld demo was that realistic. Link's eyes were huge. the style was definately anime, not lifelike, it was just more akin to something like Vampire Hunter D, or Princess Mononoke, or Nausicaa of the Wind Valley (same artist as PM), or like Trigun, as opposed to WW which is more like Hello Kitty (i'm exaggerating, please don't start arguing about that).

speaking of trigun, i'd like to comment on how a SW2000 demo styled Zelda game could retain the light hearted feel. and all you need to do is look at trigun. that series had a very "realistic" look, or, at least realistic in the way that OoT was "realistic", yet it was, for the most part, silly. it had its serious moments, and, as it went along it became more serious, but i'd say overall it was a fairly lighthearted series, with a serious look. and it was one of the best animes i've seen.

now, i'll agree with OB1 that i don't know what ABF means by

the most realistic look the game could have while still staying true to being a light fantasy game in a fantasy world... it obviously can't be "complete realism". But it could look realistic for that fanstasy world...

because i certainly don't want this game to look like baulders gate, diablo, neverwinter nights, or those other realistic looking PC RPG's. i still want it to look like a cartoon, just, a more sophisticated looking cartoon.

i think i should say at this point that everything presented here is my opinion and should be regarded as such. it is also not what i think SHOULD be done but rather what i would like to see done in regards to the game. furthermore, i'm not saying that i don't like the way the new zelda looks, it's just not what i'd prefer (although i still hate the link model, they should have let me do it ).

finally

:shake:

i guess that's all for now, i'm spent.
