Meh... I wasn't saying to go with traditional shadows because it's grown on everyone, but just because it seems like a logical alternative... I was merely stating that traditional shadows aren't technically correct, but pass because they were used because of limitations and that even today they're 'okay' because nearly everyone uses them. I said that because he asked about the weirdness of a shadow that isn't 'right'.
Again, my reason for my suggestion of changing the shadows has nothing to do with me preferring traditional pixel shadows over his, but just that I don't think his are really working out, and I suggested an alternative--which was the traditional shadows.
His cliff shadows just look really, really weird to me, mainly because of the perspective he has chosen, it's just boggling to look at as it confuses me.
