I know that, all I'm saying is it's a remaster of a PS2 game that's been touched up rather than remade, so graphically its not exactly a showcase.

I will say Pikmin wins on ground textures.
I just think its not that visually appealing to me.  Those simple design cutsie characters...

Like if you compair the face of one the models in both games, which are more impressive?

Are we talking about what's visually appealing here, or technically impressive? They're two quite different things.

It's fair enough to prefer the look of FF12 artistically, but in terms of graphics technology, Pikmin 4 is about a generation and a half ahead with its use of UE4's lighting, materials, effects, etc.
