You can have good models without lots of polys. Look at Jig's robot: 752 polys. Nasr's shaman? 503
Notice how that Sephiroth isn't in the DC section and those two models are
And I don't care if I piss off FF fanboys. They pissed me off first by overrating the game and acting like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and that Sephiroth was the very empitomy of evil
You still got 2k polygons in what Bustr_Bladr torso or the whole Prince?
Also I played around the Prince model and his "attachments"(modified your Dagger a little and added a sword) and it has 2389 polygons. If you want to know the numbers: -Dagger: 272 -Sword: 210 -Prince without hair: 1571
