OK, definitely a very cool looking game, but god damn, that is some, uh… very blatant ripping off of studio Ghibli. I’m not just talking art style, there are actual costume designs and whole scenes lifted in their entirety from Nausicaa. It’s hard to even complain because if you’re going to rip anything off, Nausicaa is a damn good choice; it’s probably Miyazaki’s most underrated movie. But it’s definitely a tad egregious. Feels like they wanted to make a Nausicaa game and then couldn’t get the rights.

While it's clearly inspired by Ghibli (and Nausicaa), in-game it doesn't feel egrarious.

I think the intro trailer (it wasn't available during EA) makes it seem like a bigger issue than it is.

At any rate, the actually made their own design, it's not just an AI slop rip-off.
