Character models and textures have been redone; not just a simple up-res like many Wii U ports on Switch.

Finally, huge improvement - they dont look like they are soul-less dolls anymore.

Well...

Spoiler!

Technically, they are soulless dolls. That's kind of the point. They're Mims, which is the Xenoblade version of Realians. Lyn is more or less a remake of Momo from Xenosaga - she even has about the same back story.

Lyn's looks better, but that's probably because the newer art is shown in a much better light. But if Elma is any indication, everything looks better on the Switch except the faces. Elma's Switch face looks flat/cartoonish by comparison to the Wii U version. I think they lowered the texture details significantly or this is just standing art. The Switch version might just be using stand-in art for the faces, though--just as a bit of evidence for this, there's an art bug with the eyes - they're a little fish-like and the eye texture is overlapping her hair - while the hair in the Wii U version correctly goes in front of the eyes.
