It isn't a matter of more defined noses, it's detail to the nose at all. Something that can be seen in Roxas and Sora, ect. And something that cannot be seen with the new, completely anime artstyle. Same with Lyn in Xeno X and same with Melia in Xenoblade. All with defined noses. Simply put, Saito's style (anime) simply doesn't match up in some regards to experienced game character designers.

AS far as Shulk

And Fiora

Yes and no. It isn't any more out there than Elma's

 

I wouldn't say they go nearly as far as Rex in scuba gear mode (sword overstylized as well)

Worth noting Fiora and Shulk are wearing clothes, Elma and Rex are wearing Armor.  For clothes, their designs are unusual, especially compared to clothes in X which are far more down to earth.  Put the two in armors and you have a better comparison.  Lots of armors in XC are on the same level as XC2.  And worthy of note, his armor isn't supposed to look perfectly neat, it appears to be made of scrap components.  Rex is a scavenger.   And the sword?  I recall numerous weapons in both games that were as elaborate, again especially in XC.

And I didn't say they were identical, just pointing out parallels.  All anime inspired styles use this visual shorthand, not all do it the same way.

You're the one that wrote "Even Shulk and Fiora's default outfits have an unusual appearance." Which I mean sure, but not any more than Elma's has a weird appearance to it.  I'll get into Xenoblade and X's armors when I get home from work. I think there is one with light valkerie headband and armors that look pretty much ripped out of one and put into the other.
