There is little to no difference between the Tales character design you linked and the 3 "good" examples you have.

Comparing Atelier is completely disingenious and an all around bad comparison. Find some bishoujo SNES or PS1 games and make the comparison.

Its a great comparison, shows the quality in jrpgs artstyle dropped IMO , cause you know i posted MY opinion , i dont expect people to agree with me or i care about it , i find the artstyle of my last 2 examples completely garbage , some people find Nomura style is garbage and full of belts , i like it. Different opinions and diferent tastes. 

You can like the old stuff more and that's great (still think Zesty pic looks no different than a character from Wild Arms or Xenogears, but I digress), but it's a bad comparison because it's incredibly cherry picked to confirm your argument. This comparison is just as valid as yours:

 

Versus:

Just because we see a lot more games from Japan via more localizations and the internet doesn't mean that very similar games didn't exist in past generations.

Also, I wanted another reason to post more Nier.
