Environments are looking gorgeous.
Characters are still looking like shit. Obviously, they still lack proper animations, especially facial animations, but it's not just that. Compared to the lovely level of detail we're seeing on the environments, character models' graphics (namely, their textures) are just plain bad and it's jarring seeing such plasticky and undetailed character models in such a detailed and gorgeous world.
Now, I'm not too worried (yet), because it's quite obvious that there's still a lot of work that's going to be done on the characters (at least, it'd better be. And Shenhua needs to be completely redone, in my opinion).
What I don't understand is why Suzuki-san chose to show the characters at such an early, unfinished stage. Teasers are supposed to entice and, well, tease, people, but this video is mostly attracting ridicule all over the internet and, really, they should've seen it coming.
In my opinion, they should have shown only environments videos, for now. Yes, this is work-in-progress, but you can only make a first impression once and this is the internet, people are both stupid and virulent.
