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. 

:P, Jim sterling likes to use extremes to get hits imo, he has some valid points, but he covers it up in extremes to come across as more unique I guess.

IDK, that's why his articles bug me, he just doesn't ever feel completely honest to me.

TBH the article was merely the catalyst for the discussion. As I said in my previous post, the genre is in trouble as graphical fidelity is favoured over gameplay and freedom, and as costs increase, classic JRPG's (Tales) and innovative games (like this one) will become even more rare.

And articles like this only compound the issue:

He openly admits he loves the game, yet he knocks down the score severely because of the low-res? Do people not play games from 5+ years ago anymore???
