*sigh* I bet you're the same type of people that think Pac-Man is outdated and has bad graphics. Or Tetris.

The graphics fit the game. They are not bad at all.

It would not be as fun if the people were realistic, as you couldn't say that it's "you" in the game.

It would not be as fun if the animals were realistic, because then the lines they say wouldn't make sense from a real horse or squirrel.

It would not be as fun if the surrounding areas were realistic, as it wouldn't be as easily randomized, making all the towns look the same.

A bunch of cartoon trees that look the same does not look out of place. A bunch of realistic trees that look the same DOES look out of place.

Adding more detail to the world (such as more subtile bends in the river, or making the grass grow, or different tree graphics) would require two memory cards to save the data.


Get over it.
