I see no reason why a new IP by Monolith couldn't be on par with the Xenoblade games in quality. The original Xenoblade was itself a new IP.

Again, it depends on what the motivation behind creating the new IP is. Does Monolith Soft have a vision in their creation of it, or is the game being made merely "for the sake of diversity." The first motivation will likely end up with a good game, the latter won't.

I never said a new IP couldn't be on par with Xenoblade, just that you need to have the proper motivation as a developer. Creating a game for "the sake of diversity" seems silly to me.  

I'm not say they should make it for the sake of diversity, I'm saying I want it for the sake of diversity.
