I certainly agree that the things you listed should be the priority, but I wonder if it's also done by the same people as models? I wanted to include more or less what you wrote here in my previous post but I figured there might actually be a division between artists (who make models) and animators (who work on the stuff you listed). Maybe 3D model artists don't actually work with cutscenes etc. Though from what I understand, they're constantly iterating on visual fidelity, I imagine the artists aren't just sitting there pretty with loads of time on their hands. (And hey, more armor won't model itself. And someone should take a look at poor Scratch...)

(That more as an aside/ponderings, I'm not nitpicking on what you wrote.)
