I always enjoy posts like this, and I am sure the developing team is too!
Despite much criticism, I find the game's art and stylized graphics to be very pleasing, and atmosphere-enhancing. Especially the new color scheme of bright, contrast colors on black background, it really helps to create a mood of mystery and anticipation. I hope other games will continue in similar style. I admit I liked the cell shaded games' like XIII and borderlands style too.
That said, I am not that happy about the combat animations, but in a game like this, they are quite irrelevant to the gaming experience.
I think the art is fantastic, especially because you see the armour on the units, on the overland map, in tactical battles you notice people equipped with an axe is actually wearing an axe, and meanwhile the items are so interchangable.
The only thing I wish be slightly better is the sovereign faces, and some specific armour pieces.
But I'm a critic at heart, I always find a wrong for each right.
Sincerely
