Time and Eternity features hand drawn animations [UPDATE]

RPGs with anime-inspired visuals are to Japan what brown shooters are to Americans, so on its surface Namco Bandai’s Time and Eternity doesn’t look like anything new. Games like Ni no Kuni and the recent Naruto fighting games seem to have already reached the pinnacle of what anime would look like in a 3D space, but what sets Time and Eternity apart is developer Imageepoch’s choice to actually use hand drawn character animations in 3D environments. This includes walking around outside of battle.
