Is this some kind of cruel joke, SE? Are you just mocking us with this statement?

I don't care what means you use to create equipment, 6 months is a ****ing joke and admitting this is an absolutely atrocious PR move if true...

Yes its a joke lol in the saddest sense. Whats even more a joke is how full of life the concept artists drawings are and how mundanely the artwork is brought to life in the game. I want Final Fantasy armor not Lord of the Rings armor. MAKE SOME DAMN Final Fantasy armor. STOP USING THE SAME DRAGGED THRU THE MUD COLORS. And i just dont mean dragged thru the mud as in overused colors i mean the colors look like MUD too often. Least i got the onion doublet to afk in town in because it surely has some real color in it.

I like the naturalistic early Renaissance to early Colonial color scheme. I feel it fits well into Yoshida's realistic and dynamic designs. The unsaturated tones give it a feeling of real world physical material, the kind that would be found in the plants and minerals found in an era predating the advent of advanced chemical engineering that would allow for the brighter and more saturated tones of today. It provides a strong continuity that reflects on the historical political feel of the world. Like Europe from the mid 1400's to the late 1600's.
