I like Octopath's look too, but my point is, they are apples and oranges.  16 bit style applied to a 3D diorama vs 3D realistic or semi realistic games, how do we compare? If you put all three of those games up in a mall and asked randos which looks best, I am pretty sure the loser

 

is Octopath, but then again, maybe the retro look would get some votes.But again, my point is, in a world of Puyo Puyo Tetris, Splatoon, Final Fantasy XV, Octopath, Red Dead Redemption, Warioware, Breath of the Wild, Shovel Night, Destiny, Angry Birds, and No More Heroes, how do we decide ugliness?

Are you referring to judging graphics purely on objective technological merits? Cos you can still answer based on that if you want.
