But I ask, are the graphics REALLY that bad?

http://www.destructoid.com/why-xenoblade-chronicles-had-to-look-like-shit-226518.phtml

i'd say Xenoblade is in the same corner as Persona.

looking at those games today, they suck visually - BUT the Artstyle is superior, meaning that while beeing disturbed at first, the game will win people over eventually. (And well, pretty much 99% of the Xenoblade players stopped at one point to simply "look" into the distance)

Oh and that article is a very good one, since the coremessage tends to be that Xenoblade is blessed with how it looks, since cuts would have been necessary if otherwise. And i agree, i honestly tried to hold back my need to puke all over the screen in the first hours, but looking back at the 60 Hours i spent so far, if i had to trade a portion of this game for shiny graphics, i'd gladly tell the graphics-whore inside me to go fuck itself. Hell, Xenoblade even managed to open myself to the wii again,, causing me to give Skyward Sword another shot once i am done. (And later on buying TLS and  pandoras tower)

PS: No, Xenoblade didnt look that bad, the guy overdid it a bit - while the Blurry Faces and cheap textures (well... Resident Evil 4 wasnt exactly stashed with lots of HD graphics either..) manage to be noticed, they dont ruin the game or the atmosphere., or the artistic Vision and the fact that the Worlds of this game are still gorgeous.

I think it looks a lot better than persona beings it's not one small town. And Randomly generated dungeons.

(I like persona more) 

True. It does look much better, but I never went into the game, or any game, thinking 'my word; this game is amazing, but THE GRAPHICS!!!'

Also, Xenoblade>Persona IMO. 

I did, and i do so 'til this day. At first i really hated on the fact that my Characters looked sooo pixellated on my screen, while today, i hail these graphics for giving me lots and lots of GREAT content instead of 720p.

(.. But i'd still buy a Remade Copy in HD for the WiiU if they made one. simply overhauling the graphics shouldnt be much of a problem if the engine is capable of doing so. And thinking about it, a remastered Xenoblade as launchtitle for the WiiU may rise some attention by people who couldnt stand the fact that they had to undust their Wii Consoles to play it.. i mean, i have to admit that i almost didnt buy Xeno because of that fact alone.. thank the gods i had someone who massacred me with how awesome this game is.)
