You drove yourself in a corner: sprites have a limit of good they look. Disgaea 4 was not limited by the PS3 because by default they cannot look much better. It's bitmap not vector. Thus they are not "worse" graphically. Sprites are sprites.

As I said, it was not an apt comparison. Sprites have a very different and unique appeal, they are not exactly "worse" in the technical department. And we are not talking about a high profile game.

The vanishing of Ethan Carter is 19$ on steam, it's a fantastic game and has graphics easily comparable to the best thing out there. What's Nintendo's excuse ?

Nonsense because the fact that PS1 was weaker did not limit Suikoden. The game used sprites because it was a sprite game ! X is not looking as good as FF XV and the Witcher because it is limited not because of artistic choices or genre   choices.

The million dollar question though, given AZW's response is: did you play Xenoblade on the Wii so you can be in a proper position to judge?

I don't need to play the game to know what the battle system is like for the most part ... There's more similarities than dissimilarities in terms of combat and that's all that matters. Sure there are some different mechanics but Xenoblade Chronicles for the most part has the same base as FF XII. The more important question is that did both you and AZW play FF XII to catch my drift ? 

My point wasn't about Xenoblade being a rip off of FF XII's battle system. My point was FF XV has the better battle system ...
