fans are caring about it, I don't think fans constitute of "nobody".That is true, but these people are judging based on some stupid graphics that nobody cares about.
they are pissed because of lack of artistic consistency, (even though 7 was on the SNES and 8 was on PS1 with it's infamous fmv anime cut scenes). 9 and 10 came back as 8-bit games, so fans expected it to stay that way instead of going 2.5D that brings back horrible memories of Mighty Number 9.
