Xenoblade Chronicles X could have gotten a downgrade

I wouldn't call it an overall downgrade, because other areas, notably the outdoor ones, have been upgraded:

 

PResented better, artistically, but technologically a step backwards, if you'd like a detailed examination of this and exactly why even this pictures show a downgrade, i'd be happy to entertain.

I see more texture and geometric detail on the building exteriors of NLA, higher resolution ground textures in the field, and mountains added on the left of the landscape gif.

The crude, choppy attack animations and close-range pop-in/out of the reveal trailer also appear to be fixed.

What am I missing?

I don't get why the bidem picture is relevant here, it's close to a year old.
