Sustaining edges in a low poly mesh?

Yerus

Hi! I'm modeling some assets that I intend to sell online, and that brought me this doubt. I know it's probably a dumb question but, should I / must I sustain the edges of my low-poly mesh? And, since I'm asking that, the low-poly should hold the silhouette damn well, without any squary shapes whatsoever, or this is only a goal 4 the high-poly mesh?
Thx in advance!

I guess it depends on the asset. How much detail do you have in the body of the low poly? You just need enough resolution so that the mesh animates well (if it has to be animated) or so that the profile isnt  very obviously low poly. Some quick tests exported to the engine should tell you.
