Tbf, we know nothing of the story or gameplay yet. Sooo, talk about the music instead? :p

Just listen this piece of art!!, I am searching like crazy for the song of the last trailer and the overworld theme really the music will be awesome.

You speculate of course, just like I did for MK8 prior to it's release! Also I definitely recall there being some gameplay footage, and from the latest trailers it seems like some group is running away from some aliens then crash lands somewhere, so no excuses!

Yes, the faux concern is getting old and I thought the criticism of X's graphics would diminish after a certain member was permabanned.

One thing that pleased me greatly in the latest vids was the variety of environments on display. Monolith clearly have some very talented artists on board.

I'm not playing the game for the faces

Yeah, I think the character models are fine; the mech focus and such makes the anime style fit for me. 

What people today can't get is that polygons are polygons regardless of style; the lack of a realistic style doesn't result in magical polygon reduction, especially since most surface/small details in realistic models are done through normal maps or equivalent methods anyway and not actual polygons.  The polygon counts and shaders and texture quality in terms of resolution on these characters is good, though polygon counts do vary depending on what outfit is being worn.  It's just that these characters aren't realisitc. 

Good that they are too blurred anyway to see them.

Faces could obviously be better but I don't know if they could really improve much.

Overly realistic anime faces look creepy.

Or you need glasses. 

Not necessarily.
