I can understand being frustrated with the minecraft aesthetic given that it was all programmer art that started to get slowly slowly replaced but then it just got reverted and notch never did anything to make it look any better


Just imo

Minecraft benefits from being less representational, it lets the visible aspect correspond exactly to the manipulated aspect.

I think the argument is that it's good that minecraft looks like poo poo because it faithfully represents the experience of playing it

I mean, it makes it WYSIWYG. You pick up a cube, you get the cube in your inventory and a cube-shaped hole in the world. You put it back down, you get the same cube you picked up. You don't get a lump with smoothed edges or randomized details or blurred boundaries trying to merge with what it's next to or whatever people imagine when they say it should look "better". And doing this with geometry more or less necessitates equally simple textures. A photorealistic perfect cube of dirt or rock would look even more bizarre than a pixelated cartoon perfect cube of dirt or rock.

Smaller cubes might look better but the 1-meter size means that large-scale construction is faster and easier, if they were smaller it would take that much longer to build something substantial.

There's basically two versions of minecraft, the old java one and the new one they've been porting to everything on earth. I think the new one has more limits on mods.

I did verse 2. Shocking how much more fun it is to play as gladiolus even though he is much more basic

Dragon Quest Builders isn't procedurally generated, though. It's a lot easier to have more specialized and unique graphics when the entire universe and everything in it isn't being spawned from the aether around you by an algorithm.

Minecraft's graphics are Good because they're perfectly functional and distinctive.

Spirits Within's greatest sin was completely squandering having Steve Buscemii as comic relief. It's been almost 20 years, maybe in FFXVI they can try it again with White Mage B'scmie or something.
