What's all this about Unreal Engine not having ultra-realistic graphics?? Huh?!

Anyway... Yeah, personally, if someone used Unreal Engine to make a RWBY game, I'd prefer that they lay off the realistic graphics because RWBY is supposed to be basically a 3D anime type thing. And if you're not going to use Unreal Engine to its full potential, then what's the point of using it to make a RWBY game? I mean, look at the art style of the environments in the show. Even in volume 2, it still has a cartoony feel to it. It still has that look that makes you feel like, if RWBY was done in 2D, it wouldn't look too much different.

"But Kingdom Hearts 3 is using Unreal Engine 4!"

1. Kingdom Hearts has an entirely different art style that can work with Unreal Engine 4.

2. They're not sticking to just 2D Disney movies, as evidenced by the reveal of a Tangled world.

3. If you want the RWBY characters to fit in with an environment that has more detailed graphics... Imagine the female RWBY characters with more realistic shading and graphics, specifically the way their big round eyes are. Now, look at the shape of Kairi's eyes. The characters' eyes in Kingdom Hearts are more realistically shaped than the girls' eyes in RWBY, making it much less unsettling when they're shown with less-cartoony graphics. (And that image of Kairi is just from the ending cutscene of KH2)
