I would assume they are going to dress up the graphics engine to get rid of the jaggies and such before going live. As it stands now, wow... you really have to be careful with that black line accenting thingie they're doing around the characters. Apparently AA doesn't work as well when you have such a stark border around an object.

I'm not a computer programmer, so someone help me out here... is that something that will be easy to fix? Right now I see neat textures and cool looking still-figure positions (dramatic, natural-looking poses) completely marred by jagged black auras around each character.
