Feedback for Indie Game Art

[Level 1]

I can only see the first image, but from what I can see, the characters look sorta like detailed versions of Mother 3 Characters. while the background looks like an RPG Maker tileset was used

What do you mean by RPG Maker tileset as opposed to any other tileset?

As opposed to original content that you and your team could have taken time to create. Like E-Man said, they look generic, and uninspired, this usually happens when game devs use default assets. I am using the RPGM software for my own project, and I've found it to be really satisfying to use my own content, yeah, it's not easy, and it's usually not fun, but once I see them all working as they should, it's all worth it.

I guess what I am saying is that maybe you and your team should reconsider the idea of using more original content.
