Rapture did have a consistent visual style, yes, but that style was borne out of decay, not aesthetic beauty, and the Medical Plaza and Neptune's Bounty embodied this. Hephaestus was even worse. The game was not "beautiful" in the sense that Prince of Persia is beautiful, nor was it beautiful in the sense that you appear to be referring to Tales as beautiful.
Seriously though, seriously now, seriously speaking:
How can you honestly put Vesperia on here? Hell, Blue Dragon's visual style is more distinctive and impressing than Vesperia's!
