From the limited things we've seen, the draw distance is comparable. I have no doubt it will be better. Xenoblade Chonicles X suffered from pop-in and major problems in its LOD system.

Remember, the early pictures of Xenoblade Chronicles X had a very limited draw distance compared with the final product. Fog was very prevelant.

 

Now compare that to Xenoblade 2.

 

Yes, but XCX also had three more years of development. This game is coming out this year. 

Most of those three years was used to develop what probably is their mutually shared game engine. It was also Monolith Soft's first attempt at an HD title. Draw distance is one of those features that you tweak during the opimization period of development.

Xenoblade 2's LoD textures seems low quality. The foliage especially stands out.

Xenoblades Chronicles doesn't show the same issue, mostly because it has less stuff in the background. (And is helped thanks to the fog masking it.)
So it is difficult to do a proper comparison.

It's still behind a lot.

This is a more interesting and telling screenshot. Where did the particles and their lightning go?

Also has that same line where the textures load that's fairly noticable.

XC2 has the same problem with flat lighting. Strange because XCX seemed to do fairly well with its shadows and reflections off armor.

I don't think you'll come back in 10 years and find a better looking, solid performing game than Xenoblade X on Wii U. I think many games will be a better visual showcase and perform better than Xenoblade 2. 

XCX doesn't look good at all. XC2 actually looks good.

bigtakilla will not be convinced otherwise. He really hates the style.

mmmm guys, it will have the full feature set and actually more, the difference is raw power, so it will push less effects, polygon can be masked these days, but particle effects is another story. Would Switch run 3rd party games? Oh you bet your ass it can, but will they run with the same effects or resolution? Fuck no. Will I care? Not if I can take shit on the road with me with ease, anything else, I'm playing on PC or maybe a future PS4 Pro for exclusives if TLoU2 is good, don't fail me Naughty Dog!

Too bad your comment got buried under the Xenoblade2 criticism nonsense. That was really well said.

That is because the Switch game is a port of the Vita version. Lazy/cost reducing ports don't show much.
