I want a sequel to this game. I don't necessarily want everyone just copying this art style. There's room for improvement with what they've come up with, so I'd like to see how they could improve and add more to the style.
Playing devil's advocate against myself, Acquire did name the technique as HD-2D so I'd imagine they'd want other developers to know what the style is called if they're going to copy it. So if I had to choose a game other than a sequel, I'd say the Mana games. I'd want a more 3D art style for a Chrono Trigger remake. Something more like the Dragon Quest XI engine.
