Yeah if this is the last Wii U to Switch port (I'm not entirely convinced of that, still expect Woolly World may come) then they've ended on a strong note that shows the upgrade from Wii U to Switch, which while not generational is still enough to be significant.

I would go so far as to say this is the best looking Xenoblade, as while 2 and 3 use more modern effects and techniques, their image quality and environment design isn't as attractive.

It's the lighting engine that does it for me in XC3, the contrasts are so much better which makes the characters easily pop up in any given scenes.

Anywho, I know it's always been a matter of taste but each game in the series have always gone through different type of overall feel in it's biomes and environmental design so something like The Leftherian Archipelagos in XC2, Vallak Mountain or Satorl Marsh at night in XC1 or Erythia Sea region in XC3 have nothing to envy to what you can have in XCX regions. Moreso it is it's freeform exploration that gives it more a purpose in this case.
