keep on disappointing

Character models look like they're getting worse. Cloud and Yuna looks like plastic dolls.

No creative person in history has failed to develop more than Monty Oum. Hopefully people stop fapping over this one-trick pony bullshit and he'll diversify, or better yet lend his talents as an animator to something that he isn't also directing/writing/etc. etc.

Pretty sure Midway Games hired him shortly after his Halo vs Metroid shit or just after Dead Fantasy 1 & 2. So he already is. He does this on the side as a hobby of his. You can't expect him to make any better models for it than he did, they look good enough and his animation work is fantastic. He does get overhyped more than he deserves, but people need to stop ragging on him just for the sake of it.

Agreed. I personally thought Dead Fantasy III was rather generic until the chorus of the song kicked in and Tifa got her shit kicked in. Then I thought it was really creative with what he did with the materia.

Dead Fantasy IV was blah outside of the summons popping up. Cloud popping up was eh, but to be expected considering the other male role popping up later on.

The character models are bland, but really.. if he chooses to cut corners, I don't see why he can't cut corners on the models when they aren't actually fighting. The in-fight graphics and what not are amazing considering this guy is doing this for the fun of it. I agree that he shouldn't be overhyped, but getting ragged on because his 'models look plastic' seems a bit picky to me.

Well to be honest he set himself a pretty high bar pretty early on with his animations and he's not really caught up/passed it so everything else he does comes across as somewhat underhelming.

The dude's insane for doing everything himself and I can respect the effort he puts in, but if he's going to do close-ups of out-of battle characters and try to get some plot/inter-character relationship going you can't really cut corners there visiually.
Bland charcters don't matter in motion, which he does well, but you need the quality for the close-up static shots.

Then again I always seem to have overly-high expectations when it comes to user-made content for some reason.

You got to appreciate how difficult it can be to actually make the character models (and backgrounds, environment work is a bitch). Not only that, but he has to make them properly/perfectly for deformation. The only thing that he needs to work on really are his textures, his animations will improve with time and his cheorgraphy is great (Tifa/Materia) and his actual modelling isn't bad.

Even see your FFXI character's arm when they raise it above their head? Yeah, you generally avoid that, which is harder than it seems.

The fight with Yuna Rocked!!!!! Tifa was amazing too, she got like 3000000 arrows struck through her and she still kept going.
