probably because the marketing team knows how the last two games sold and that selling it as a anime-ish adventure game is more convenient than saying it's a deep game with an insane combat system...

Yeah I guess you could be right. I swear I heard somewhere that one of the creators or directors said he wanted to do something unlike the past two xenoblade games and do something simpler and more down to earth. Can't find it though! So I'll take your word for it.

I recall reading something similar too from Takahashi but it doesn't change the fact that he might very well have said that since he was told from the marketing team to say so...
