I don't like the art style actually, didn't like Odin Sphere much either, the sprites have a weird look among them that just doesn't appeal to me, not something I'd get my hopes up about....

Since this seems to be console only thread. Apprently you haven't heard of valkyria chronicles. If we're going for the whole art style thing.

I mean... I could point to a DS game that I think looks more original:

The point should be that any system would be able to run that nowdays, and is also a reason why HD sprites should be more popular.

well, that's a logical fallacy. People seem to enjoy this art, but because it's not HD means it shouldn't be as popular. If the art is good, and it's on the Wii, then let it be popular... >_>

yes, because where have I ever seen something that looks like this:

oh right... just about every JRPG. :|

I'm not discrediting these games everyone, i'm just pointing out that people have OPINIONS on art and thus these thread are useless. You can't end a thread with any other game because art comes down to preference, nothing else.

I don't have to own anything you do. You knocked the art style of a game I own. However you don't own it so you cannot form an accurate opinion. If you did own it then that'd be closer to an informed opinion.

When it comes to artstyIe, there is no "best," only favourites. I personally don't like the styIe of Oboro Muramasa Youtouden, I much preferred Odin Sphere's Nordic mythology influence.

For me, i'm big into detail, so when I look at this:

I don't just see the forground, but I pay more attention to the layers: the grass, fields, hay stacks, houses, fences, gates, hills, trees and sky. I grew up in Kansas, so this particular picture reminds me of standing at the top of one of Kansas's tallest mountains (it's pretty short) and looking down on the fields below. It's stunning...

Now, in contrast:

This pictures, when animated, looks incredible. Some people don't like the semi-choppy motion of it, but I think that adds character. Also, the sky reminds me of Elisya from Metroid Prime 3, and I LOVED that place. Also, the boat moves up and down in a rocking motion which just adds to the value of visuals.

The combat wasnt supposed to be hard but it was fun to me , especially the interaction between the battle, the crowd and the stage itself. not to mention the writing and story was grade A as were the graphics and even more so the environments.

All of my friends are fans of the series and destroy me in any debate on it, so I do admit that it is an excellent title (I did like the writing)... just not one that I enjoyed. I wish I would have though, I feel like i'm missing out. :(

The only flaw in this is no one can own demon blade that includes you and me because its not out yet. You compared vc to a ds game. Two wrongs don't make a right, but in this case one of the wrongs is more wrong because you made a comparison to something that can be owned yet you don't own it. Btw do you really live in kansas? teehee

You guys are all spoiled with your HD standards. I've been a PC Hermit since I was 9 years old, and as a Hermit Cow, I am not easily impressed by visuals. However, looking at this 2D game for the Wii, my eyes are genuinely tasting the flavour of the game's artstyle. You see, past high resolution textures and number-crunching resolutions with Anti-Aliasing and Anistropic Filters to the Nth degree, I start caring less and less about graphics, and more about artstyle, a far more respectable demonstration of a developer's talent with visuals, much more so than what hardware can provide.

NES was awesome back in the day but I must have missed this game It looks nice but it's not one of the best looking games this generation. It's last gen in graphics but it looks good for a Wii game.

I'm more impressed by the visual detail in that game : the different layers, the attention to small details like those japanese lanterns and painted hues in the skies to give the atmosphere some mood, as well as the extremely detailed sprites with many frames of animation are what impress me the most.

Technical graphics are pretty objective when it comes to visual fidelity : no one except an ignorant fanboy / hateboy would dare say Crysis looks mediocre from a technical point of view. However, when touching upon games that rely on art rather than on graphics to draw gamers in, it becomes quite a subjective point of view : I for one wholeheartedly embrace Vanillaware's approach (Odin Sphere, Grim Grimoire, and this).
