Those comparing it to Xenosaga are forgetting the scale of Xenosaga is no where near what this game is suppose to be, Xenoblade is meant to be as big as games like MMOs while Xenosaga's scale is quite minimal to average at most tbh. If you look at PS2 games with huge scale like San Andreas and such it's graphics can't even hold a candle to Xenoblade and it's in a similar Scale range, even on HD consoles look at GTA4 probably the game with the biggest scale so far graphically it's behind the majority of HD games, a lot of you need to understand the technical balance with wide open scale in games.

GTA San Andreas and MMO's are also using boring western style graphics. It's a totally different standard.

 

Xenosaga is a huge game, and it has plenty of huge areas. So that doesn't really validate using a more boring art style or low quality character faces which look out of place with the beautiful environments. It also does NOT excuse using lower levels of animation; Xenosaga was VERY animated (right down to hair strands blowing in the breeze, or the winds during combat), this game is stiff.
