@GoldMetalSonic Since FRN we use 4-8k textures. Means hyper real graphics but 16x storage. Happy this is no prob on WiiU eShop :)

It says nothing about art of balance using 4 - 8k textures ... 

What is "Since FRN we use 4 - 8K textures" supposed to mean ? Is it every game AFTER FRN releases that every game will have 4 - 8K textures or is it since the announcement of FRN that every game is using 4 - 8K textures ? 

FRN started production long before Art of Balance Wii U, so when they say they're using 4k-8k textures "since FRN" they are clearly referring to AoB; it's the only other game they're making that could do so. If it was only FRN they would have said "for FRN we use 4k-8k textures".
