From playing a bit more and paying attention, it seems too me that many assets in the game might need some rescaling.
E.g. Madoras sword seems to be quite big (but in that case it might be intended), however, when I equipped an "Old Shortbow", that one, too, was quite gigantic.
Same for various clutter items you encounter in the game (e.g. the skeleton in the healer's house, bread which seems to be the size of the average human torso, same goes for some flasks).
It almost seems as if originally characters/NPCs were supposed to be larger...
Maybe a byproduct of how much higher rez the games textures are now from earlier versions.. dunno lol.. maybe mesh sizes had to be adjusted and they missed some.
