Yikes @ Mog Garden's new Nintendo 64-caliber graphics

[Edyth]

So, the "overhaul" of Mog Garden's graphics.... Dem textures. Go see for yourself, everyone. And it's not just a matter of personal taste or anything.... For example, the crystals were removed from the rank 7 mineral vein and replaced with a pixelated, blurry, purple splotch.

What's the dealio? Is this uglification necessary from a system perspective, or was it just done to make the main Mog Garden look as bad as the new Monster Rearing Bibiki Bay copy/paste section for consistency? Why not spiff up the Bibiki Bay lookalike instead of crappifying the main section of Mog Garden?

maybe to prevent ps2 crashing. Also, I don't think you're giving the Nintendo 64 enough credit. I've seen better looking n64 environments

Yeah but why not just downgrade the PS2 version why do the rest of us have to suffer?

But Japanese PS2 players' feelings! ( °Д°)

I did find it odd that they made the mog garden less pretty. The new area is a separate area anyway so why downgrade the main garden?

[Hoshi]

We're not complaining about clutter or lack of clutter. We're complaining about the fact that the resolution has been decreased significantly.

Whatever they did to it, it looks horrible.

can we get some before and after pics in here for an unbiased comparison?

I do miss the way the mining area looks, but the garden section looks much better. The rows of plants seem more defined and a little taller.
