    The characters were just 2D sprites from what I recall. And the isometric camera kind of gave it a 2D feel even if it wasn’t actually 2D.

    Anyway, hopefully this isn’t a Switch exclusive as that would be lame.

      They were that style of sprite derived from prerendered 3D art that was popular in the late 90’s/early 2000’s.

      It’s unfortunately looking like ports of this game are going to come later.

      Ah so maybe I’m just reading the article too closely, as it says full 3D for the game’s fields and towns, and doesn’t mention the character models.
