I dont really think its an issue.People also didnt like, for the most part, the artstyle that XCX went with, at the beggining at the very least.But then the game went to sell around 1 million units on a system that failed to be successful.And Im personally much more fond of this direction than X, given that they have actual expressions and are far more expressive and honestly, far more pretty.
In the end, the artstyle is something that will depend on each ones tastes, but since the game still looks gourgeous outside of the charachters(even though I like them), and Xenoblade was always cherished more about its story, gameplay and world, assuming the game manages to excel on those aspects, it will be just fine.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
