The lower calf and boot areas look like dirt to me, as so do other spots on the armor.

They didn't keep any of that in the actual campaign, though.

That is the awesome skin that Bungue decided to swap for the craptastic plastic looking one in the final version of the game, and thus can't really be counted. Though I do agree, dirt on the MCs armour is a perfectly logical and probable occurence.

Looks like it has dirt on it to me, heh. But I get what people mean about the fake bumping.

Why yes, yes it does. Still plastic though. =þ

The bit about fake bumping is that it doesn't make it look dirty, it makes it look cluttered and/or too busy, thus taking away from details that actually matter because the baked stuff is just as bold as the actual details.
