Dipping my toes into this one, since I've heard good things. So far, I am enjoying the slightly brainless combat, it's legit fun just running around and beating the heck out of everything.
You can kinda tell where they cut corners because of budget reasons. Aside from the characters, which all look really good, the rest feels like they're re-using FFXIV assets? I can recognize some of the "emote" animations. Very rudimentary facial animations. It's very odd, but somehow still charming?
I'm diggin' it, tho. Surprisingly fun. I just hope it can deliver more on the sci-fi aspect, because I want dumb anime Star Trek adventures.

I was thinking the same, looking at older games this game's (or series') jank looking models/faces actually have a charme in current day, like how PS2 era game all had their own look. I think the reason why it looks a bit odd though, is that it seems they motion captured main movements, but not the faces obviously. So you have overly animated body and head movements, while having the old classic face rigging.
