Very cool looking retex. Being Japanese, some things comes to mind:
- Putting the Japanese character for Samurai "ä¾" on the armor is a bit odd and out of place, imo. Imagine a Medieval knight with the word "Knight" emblazoned on the chestpiece and you get an idea of how redundant it looks. Putting characters on armor would be seen as very flasy, and at most you'd usually see a family crest (Kamon) on the armor. - One of the images has a yin & yang on the back--that's a Taoist symbol, and samurai don't follow Taoism (Buddhism/Zen Buddhism). If religious symbols were to be used, it'd likely be the Manji "å", which looks like a swastika and would probably be controversial on here, lol.
I'll continue working on this mod when I finally get some free time ( hopefully second half of this week ) Then I'm gonna remake it in HD, and there are plans for different versions too. Just a little patience, plz
