Loving the giant world and environments but the character models are still so bleh. At least they got plenty of time to work on it.

It's a must buy if a Wii U ever lands in my lap.

I always hear someone say that, but i dont understand. The models are modeled as anime characters. If you notice they are very similar in style to Xenosaga characters. I dont think these models are meant to look real life like as for example the FFXV ones.

My thoughts exactly.  The only character whose face is eh to me is the girl with the black hair; something looks...stiff about it.  The rest I find ok.  I actually like the brown and silver hair default playar models, the comander guy with th scar, and the big guy with the mustache.  Elma's pretty good, but not as good.  The blonde chick is also good. 

When I see Xenoblade, I think the direction they are going for is "what if anime was reality?"  while FFXV goes for "what if reality was anime?"  I like both personally.
