It's a bit of a juxtaposition to see all anime characters in a non anime environment. Also, I could be wrong, but I'm guessing equipment changing is gone, at least that's the impression I get. It seems like a lower budget endevor which sucks in my book. Would have 1000 times over rather seen cleaned up 3d semi realistic character xcx models then anime models which doesn't require half the detail and textures. The whole peoject screams budget cuts, which is terrible, not great. 

Equipment changing being gone is hardly confirmed in this trailer.  I am willing to almost guarantee there will be frankly.  And this does not seem low budget AT ALL to me.  On a technical level, this is far above X, no matter what you think about the style of the characters.  You can't focus obsessively on the characters and ignore the detail everywhere else cause there's a lot more than in X.  And on that note, the art style of the game outside the characters the art style is almost bang on the money identical to the original Xenoblade.  The architecture, clutter, environments all resonate with that look.  Even the armor and clothes are fairly close in terms of their designs.  

This is more just another change in character designer.  Which is jarring to a degree but also not shocking.  They had a different one for Xenoblade than in the other Xeno games, a different one for X than Xenoblade, and now a different one again.  That, for me, is more unusual.  

Looks pretty spot on UE4 to me as far as graphics and nothing really screams tons of time and care was placed in it to go to the next level graphically like X on Wii U. It's hard to believe a game looked that good and ran on wii u hardware.
