Well, personally, I mean "great" or "marvellous". I don't mean "technologically on par with Killzone 2".
So basically, instead of just expressing your opinion like all the other people in this thread, you set out to prove that we are somehow wrong to think that this looks great. Way to go.
Jesus Christ. "Gust Defense Force" underway.
So me stating that my opinion of the game not looking all that hot and you claim that my post in this thread was to prove others wrong. Maybe because people wouldn't have agreed with me thus asking me why I think so, so I put my reasons in the post before hand. I mean I could understand if I was quoting people and directing telling them "it doesn't look good and here's why!" But no I just stated I didn't think the game looked so hot and listed some picks as comparison.

Well, I just read a bit of your post history and I think I can now tell what you truly find so objectionable about it. Have fun.
Please tell me what you think I find "objectionable" about this.

I'm so amused how you managed to maneuver yourself into a ridiculous position. It's good you left my other points unanswered, because you would've looked even more foolish.
What have I "maneuvered"? I stated it didn't look "good" and even in my beginning post stated that "it didn't look like crap". The fact that you've stated "it looks visually pleasing and not on a technical level" support my point. I was saying it didn't look significantly better then most games (aka "good") not that it looked worse.

No one is saying it looks "all that". It isn't even the thread consensus, which is more like "Wow, looks better than I thought." Quote a poster that proves your point, come on.
Umm how about "it looks marvelous", "it looks great", "Holy Shit! way better then I expected it looks really great!", "how can Gust pull that off?".
And you provide a quote from a SINGLE POSTER and I'm the one dodging and maneuvering?

See, Tales of Vesperia sold 160K in Japan, and people are floating numbers out like 700K worldwide. Atelier Rorona doesn't even seem like a sure-fire guarantee for 150K worldwide, but it doesn't look like it's operating on a fifth of Vesperia's budget. It looks pleasing.
When have I ever objected to this? :|

They've managed to hide that technical simplicity and present it as a VISUAL STYLE. That is exactly how Mario Galaxy manages to look so fantastic despite it being on a graphically weaker platform.
Why are you telling me this? I've stated that I comprehended this in my previous posts?

In other words the world presented in the screenshots look cohesive as a whole style and I don't feel anything is out of place. As a long-time anime fan, the amount of detail in the screenshots FAR beats out any regular anime series (FMA, H&C etc) and so I really don't expect it to have detail like Steamboy.
Listen I have no idea for the reason of the backlash I'm getting. I just simply stated that I don't think this game looks that good and read the thread and thought that my opinion would be questioned so I posted some examples as of why. And for some reason despite me stating that I didn't think the game looked like crap I have people stating stuff like "it looks visually pleasing though!" which is exactly what my original post consisted of.
It doesn't look "good" (it's no Valkyria Chronicles) but it doesn't look like "crap" (it gets the job done. So which leads to it's passable or in other words "visually pleasing" or "works well enough for the eye". Yet I get posts about "Gust's budget" and "Super Mario Galaxy's ingenious texture work" which were things I've never even once argued.
It would be a very good idea to take a deep breath and step back to see what I was originally trying to get across.
If I was a little to harsh in my posts (though I don't see how) without knowing then I apologize yet I see no reason to laugh at me and claim that I have issues with the games style solely over an opinion as well as claiming that I never meant set out to enter this thread to share my opinion more so to attack others (these examples all aren't geared toward you) I have over a video game's visuals. :/
