Realm Reborn = downgrade?

No, its about a fundamental aspect of the game this time, called : character animation.

Which has nothing to do with a demonstration-video of gameplay. I see a lot of statements from you, but you dont even get your own statements.

Read this again:

Graphics = junk like resolution, polycount, 2D or 3D, color count, and what effects can be implemented.
Art style/direction = the actual visuals, if they're cartoony or realistic, what setting they represent, basicly how everything looks.
Animation = how characters and environments move, and while they assist art direction and style, they are a completley different animal from graphics. 3D animation is sort of like a really advanced form of puppeteering, like claymation.

While all these things are connected, they are the furthest thing from equal, so be careful how you talk about them.

.. and you will maybe understand that whining about character-animation in a "pre-alpha-stage-video", is equal to whining about the color of an uncolored car. Funny thing is, you allready confirmed that post, but you didnt understand it?

The fact still stands, that you are complaining about the Character-Animation of a pre-alpha vid. That itself makes everything you say pretty much meaningless, since you obviously dont understand what "pre-alpha" even means. You are asking people "what's your point?", so let me ask you "What is your point?". At Gamescom it has being said the footage runs at PS3 specs, which does not imply that the graphics/animations are allready being made. You wont even see fine-tuning until the very last beta, which includes character-animation.
