I'm the only one who disappointed with Xenoblade 2 artstyle?

Wouldn't cast such a huge net but a healthy majority of anime does fit the shoe.  There's actually a drinking game mates and I play called "spot the trope" where you take a drink each time an anime cliche pops up.

A case could be made that realistic looking art styles all look the same as well. 

But my stand point is that there are many nuances between anime art styles. There's not only one way of drawing anime. Just like there are many ways to stylize realistic visuals. Saying this looks generic just because it's anime style screams close minded to me.

Good point.  Anime is popular so of course I expect it to be the aim for game devs of niche genres.  The reason I said it's generic is that it looks to be following suit just like many RPGs - the 3D modeling of anime, much like the Tales of series.  X has awful character designs, we agree here.  I'm sure X2 will be amazing like the first two but I'm just tired of japanese culture.  They make great games though so *shrug*
