These are the kind of changes that drive me the most nuts. It feels like whoever is overseeing these designs believes any sharp lines or edges is a mistake that must be smoothed out into homogeneity. I think a lot of people forget that artists work within their restrictions, not against them. Lots of these details were more than likely intentional because they give clear, specific character impressions. They're not "accidents" just because their models are older.

Ugh, it's like when people use frame interpolation to force carefully crafted animations into 60fps. I do hope they take these issues on with a more discerning eye...
