THIS! If there's one single solitary thing I'd improve in Xenoblade 2 across the board it's the animations during cutscenes. I love the characters and story to death, but the animations do NOT do it justice.

It varies, honestly.  The issue is when the cutscenes go all out, the animations are quite good, but thats like 30% of the time.  Same problem we had in X and definitely 1.  During those "lower tier" cutscenes the animations are a lot less detailed.  And it can be really jarring when the game switches from one level of animation detail to another mid cutscene.

I'd say the animations are good during fight scenes. I know that Xenoblade doesn't get the budget for this anyway, nor does Nintendo generally tend to put much budget toward this sorta stuff anyway, but can you imagine if Xenoblade's character animations for cutscenes had the same level of money and time as most "AAA" releases? I know that that money would be better spent elsewhere (Actual goddamn lip synching for a start), but it'd be amazing to see.
