I'm puzzled about Octopath's outstanding success. Look at the following pictures
Switch owners had the choice between an old-looking RPG and a modern RPG with waifus, modern graphics & animation, and they massively picked the one with weak graphics. I believe that can send a wrong message to 3rd parties : now SquareEnix or anyone can make a PSOne-looking RPG, slap exclusive + nostalgia on it and say "hey, Switch fans, this is just for you". Result being that Switch would get less and less high-end games and more old-school ones with low production values.

Like maybe it has something to do with Octopath getting much better reviews and does a lot of things different, while Shining looks like a Tales Of clone.

I know this is beting a dead horse, but it pains me so much when I see someone saying that a sprite-based game look weak just for the sake of being a sprite-based game. Even from those images he posted makes Octopath's art style look so much more gorgeous in comparison.
