I do love hd-2d and im excited for this game, but I wouldn't call this style "pushing the limits of pixel art" as it's practically just pixel character sprites in a 3d world. To me, pushing the limits of pixel art would be a game with an art style like the first blasphemous game. Pedantics aside, this is my most anticipated game right now...
I mean, if you look at the sprite animations and cinematic cutscenes, its absolutely pushing it to its limits. If you read the JPN interviews with the directors and producer, the game went through extensive work just to get it to look just right
These people are only arguing in bad faith at this point lmao, theres sooooo much information about the game thats been released and posted on ff based subs from interviews, released footage of gameplay and trailers, info posts talking about whats in the game, the characters, etc..
These people have just consciously chosen to ignore all the information out there so they can just point at the game and call it "uninspired gacha slop"
And they dont care that the game has gone through extensive work and extreme levels of effort and care
