Background: While the studio worked through the costs of its technical options, it kept refining the game itself. A remade version of Final Form entered internal testing. This time, the team needed to hear what people thought of the actual visuals, not just the concept.
Today: Test feedback quickly split. Some liked the remade visuals and felt the characters were finally easier to recognize; others thought the visual changes distracted from information needed during battles. A-Zhen compared both kinds of comments with the art and gameplay teams, and proposed identifying the most disputed scenes before deciding what to keep and what to tone down.
Impact and next steps: The divided response offered no simple verdict on the remake, but it showed that visuals had to support both character expression and a readable battle. The team planned to adjust and review specific scenes. Later tests would still have to distinguish personal taste from changes that genuinely made play harder to follow.
