I’ll have to dig through several thousand of my screenshots to find the old version but here it is now…
I’m very disappointed at the landscaping changes to this particular area, even if the old SDK foliage assets clashed with the new art style. This was the one place that felt secluded in the plaza, a place to get away from the urban environment of the rest of the plaza, but not much so anymore as they ripped out the tall grass, reeds, bushes and a few trees.
Rather than offer a bunch of subjective reasons why it should be reverted, I’ll just leave this here and see what people think
