Some observations from the new screenshots in IGN's Diaries

So let me clarify here.

Is your complaint about the terrains being side-by-side or is it about the artwork?
If they did something like beaches to make a smooth transition would that be better? I'm just not sure what you are after anymore.

You seem to ask for it not to occur when asking for it to look nicer would satisfy you.

What do you guys think about the kelp beds (if thats what they are)? I'd personally rather not see them until I have underwater vehicles and I'm close to underwater city technology. They stick out too much.

What do you think, and what do we know about them?
