Its the game's all fault really, the artstyle and gameplay don't mash, its a fairly complicated and deep game that has an artstyle designed to appeal to a younger audience.
Drop the bullshit about mature gamers and an appreciation for art blah blah blah.
The fact is that consumers are shallow and this is why classic game like Valkyria Chronicles and LKS underachieve despite being top notch. (And yes I'd consider myself at least semi-shallow, I certainly have judged games by art direction alone at times)
