Were the old models ment to be just placeholders?

Seeing how the new update changed the new models only slightly, it makes me wonder. Were the older, more show accurate models even ment to be used in the final game at all? I mean look at the way the environments are designed. Lots of detail and more realistic. The old models on top of that look a little out of place and aren't affected by any lighting changes or shadows. Maybe they just borrowed the models from RoosterTeeth until they had their own assets ready to go. Maybe the game was never ment to mimic the shows art style and establish itself as its own thing with a more realistic style. For the record, I think adding realism to an anime inspired art style is stupid and looks akward and gross, but what we have now is an improvement.

My point is maybe the game was never supposed to make you feel like you're playing an extended episode of the show, and instead make it feel like you're playing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video game.

This started as a decent, levelheaded chat, but devolved into bickering and name calling. Locking thread.
