3) But do they have all of the environment assets?

4) I personally think it'd be neat if it's a volcano because then the heat rising up from it would keep Atlas from being too unbearably cold. 1) It's extremely lacking in worldbuilding and basic general info (like why did the Union even attack the Polity, aside from "it's a cultural war"). But it looks good, the fights are cool, and knows it's audience.

Michael Jordan is a pretty flat MC so far though.

2) Weller.

3) Good question. But, here's the thing: They have a budget and manpower exponentially bigger than back in Vol.1-3. You mention the idea of them taking their time to lazily trace over the original scenes.

Then, how about instead of that, they actually remake the scenes? They don't have to rebuild the entire areas, just the parts focused on. And they barely have to animate anything as well. Simple, and in their current state pretty quick. And they still could've used 2D for the distant backgrounds.

4) Eh, it wouldn't help that much. Volcanos might be quite hot but if we're just talking about the released heat, well, there's quite a lot of air between Atlas and the ground, not to mention a giant chunk of rock and a barrier fence.

So the actual amount of heat Atlas receives from the volcano would be quite small, nowhere useful to make the city any less "unbearably cold". Which for Atlesians most likely isn't, considering Weiss flied around in her Beacon Saga outfit and didn't even shiver.
