Those seem fake to me because some of them looked way better when I played them on PS3 and anyways you haven't proved otherwise for the games whose pics I posted.

I doesn't, not in the slightest, you can find horrible screenshots of every game out there and it doesn't prove anything. You're just displaying some huge hypocrisy here, you don't want to use cutscene characters for the games I named but clearly compare them to cutscene characters for XCX.

And finally it should be noted that I'm not only about the character models, but the characters as a whole that also includes face models and animations, both areas where XCX is pretty subpar as well.

Its like a super-model astro-physicist with a ten-foot nose who has four noble prizes. Your mind goes right for the nose.

Did you register to post precious gems such as this? 

Fact of the matter is that the Wii U first party titles have been more impressive than anything we saw on the more powerful hardware. Graphic design is playing a bigger role now than raw power. Its not like the noticeable difference the Wii had to the PS3 and 360. I'm afraid results outweight theory. 60 fps or not, its an impressive looking game and probably a very good one to boot. But, most if not all first party games have been at 60fps on the Wii U. No hardware will ever convince me that particle effects and volumetric whatevers are more important than 60fps gameplay. The real next-gen games are the ones improving graphics and running at 60fps.

And to anyone saying the faces look bad, lets look at the faces of the recent Dragon age inquisition. Now those are horrible faces... and i'm a fan of the series.

There are way, waaaaay worse characters out there than XCX...

Monolith GODS!!!

Right because when I look at this I think they look so much more human-like than Xenoblade X.

Also you guys must remember that this game lets you customize your character. Therefore it won't have the specialized art direction that a game like Final Fantasy will have (characters are specifically made by the developer to look a specific way.) Usually games that have customization also have pretty ugly character models (look at Skyrim vs. The Witcher 2, in example.)

Only if you're talking about the art of the faces. It is quite obvious that the characters in Xenoblade X have many, many more polygons and higher resolution textures.
