Essentially, I guess not, or my expectations were too high. The original Blade and X had spoiled me and this was just not going to live up to the task. I would also prefer they get on with X, and would rather them push this out and really spend the time perfecting there new grand space epic, which hopefully they are doing as I know they got a new game coming out, but they have also expanded a lot, so time will tell. As for the voice acting, I even linked where Xenosaga 2 was notorious for having terrible voice acting. However, Blade (original) may have had a iffy line or two, but was mostly rock solid, same as X. Gears barely had any voice acting, so it gets a pass.
As far as graphics, I would say Odyssey also trumps it, as well as Splatoon 2. It just seems like a lower rung from where X had left us. as far as animations, their run animations are not that pleasant to look at, lol.
One thing that is not a constant from Blade or X seems to be armor customizations. And let's face it that sucks. Even if your fine with the outfits, that's essentially an option taken away from us. But who knows, someone said they seen an icon that may just be an armor shop. I really doubt it though as they haven't shown a different piece of armor yet with a few actual playthroughs under the belt. Time will tell.

Voice acting here is, imo, fine. Not winning any awards but seems fine. It's better than, say, Bravely Default. But if you don't care for it, fine.
On the graphics though, you are objectively wrong :P. On a technical level. If you prefer the aesthetics of those, that's ok. But on a technical level, XC2 is more impressive than either one. Especially Splatoon 2. In this latest footage nearly all the technical hiccups from E3 seem fixed. Shadow draw distance is much better, gheir new grass approach is completely ironed out. The lighting, polygonal density of the scenes, texture quality, all are better than XCX. The animations seem deliberately similar to Xenoblade Chronicles 1 as opposed to X.
There seems to ba a cosmetics option of some kind, we'll see. I wouldn'tbe crushed, other RPGs I love don't vive you costmetic options but I do like armor customization.
