Update from the slow-poke. I'm in Chapter 9 now (40 something hours in), although I've played many games that have better graphics, I've got to say this game has stunning environments, some of the best in any game. I thought Gaur Plains would be the highlight since it's the location that made it into Smash but then there's Satorl Marsh at night (my favorite), the Makna Forest Waterfalls, Eryth Sea at night. It's a joy to discover new locations.

Yeah Xenoblade always had that quality even way back on the Wii, despite the hardware being basically a generation behind the competition, the sheer scale and artistic design of the world transcended its graphical limitations.
