Looks like more of the same. I feel like I know pretty much what all to expect from this game.
Not that it's a bad thing.

They said in the steam that they are still polishing the graphics. Don't worry yet.
Because you watched it on a shitty stream. The game is technically superior in every department and that's before the additional polish they're making until launch.
I don't understand, why did they develop a big budget modern RPG with character designs that are obviously meant to appeal to pre-teens. Is that really the audience they're targeting for that type of game in 2017?
Edit: The part that's even stranger is how it appears that someone noticed this as a potential problem after the character designs were finished and tried to correct it by using adult voices.

Do Nintendo usually provide direct feed for their games?

What did you expect? Dark Souls?

Should I search ingame character pics? Many Xenoblade and Xenoblade X Characters didn't look very good ingame, i think with the anime graphics it will be more consistent in Xenoblade 2.
And i am playing Xenoblade 1 now, great game, but not because of good looking characters.
I'm pretty hyped for Xenoblade 2, great setting, but haters gonna hate.
100% yes
Not really feeling the style of how this game looks.

I'm glad we've got a nopon party member again, especially considering how much of a waste of space Tatsu was in X. Hopefully he's as good as Riki.

That's what I did and I loved it.

Wii/Wii U virtual console will be a better experience.

Cool, it looks great but there are some random well iffy textures and the lightning could be improved.

The gameplay in the Treehouse looked nice, it doesn't seem as busy and difficult to read as Xenoblade X.
I still hope there is enough international backlash to Pyra's clothes design because it is really terrible.

Personally I find the character design to be inoffensive. At worst they're just wearing dumb outfits, and even then I'm not terribly bothered by them. I think they even look kinda cool (the characters, anyway).
WASHED OUT
Stream looks better than the trailer but still meh at the global visuals. XCX or BOTW were much more impressives.
The world part looks as awesome as ever from what I could see. That was always the best part in Xenoblade Chronicles as well. The characters and what they hint about the story unfortunately instill no confidence in me, especially not since those were the worst things about Xenoblade Chronicles too.
They opened saying they were still in production and that we would be seeing more polish when shipped. I am not expecting much more than that though and I'm very happy as is graphics-wise. I do hope Blades characters can be toggled off during combat, just having the UI is enough.

Sure
Graphically it looks about the same as X., if not better.

The world looks good, the combat seems more intuitive, but I can't get past the character designs. The red-haired lady is awful but I can at least tell what they were trying to do
, Rex is shit for unknown reasons.

I went back and watched the reveal trailer from a few months ago. All the shots of Pyra were from the top of the torso up. When showing the MC running around, she was nowhere to be seen.
It's almost like whoever made that video knew what the reaction would be.

I mean, the previous games do include cute furball creatures that speak a funny English as party members... I really don't understand how that is less aimed at preteens than Xenoblade 2.

Most characters clothing design is terrible seems to be terrible imo. Hopefully there will be a transmog option like in XCX.
I'm confused, do you think that teenagers don't exist in 2017? Edit: Rereading I see that's not the case. You don't think teenagers like RPGs anymore?
There are tons of adults who this will still appeal to as well.
Like what? Name every department.

Some scenes looked very nice and they said they are still working on the graphics and polishing.
Again?! Lighting and materials are a giant step ahead, foliage is better, character models, reflections and shadows are better, even polycount is much higher comparing for example the town we saw with NLA. The only things about on par with X are pop in and lod, which are bad on both, but here they have a few months to make it better.
Yeah, you're wrong.
Hmm. I don't know about this after looking at the Gameplay. I'm still in of course, but there's still something off about it. I really feel like this is being rushed big time.
Graphically it looks worse than X to me and it's framey.
Great conversation.

Compressed low quality stream screenshots are not a good way to make an argument.

I like the art style, but I don't like the graphics. I don't know if it's the textures or the resolution, but I think it's a step down from Xeno X.
This is the Angry Simius, from Xeno X:
This is a very similar creature in Xeno 2:
Again, opinions and all, I'm not saying you guys are crazy for liking this, but I think this is pretty disappointing. I'm not shit posting, I love Xenoblade. I just hope they improve the graphics, but I'm sure I'll enjoy the game anyway.

Even ignoring the compression they are note comparable at all. It also ignores the fact that graphical X was a mess as well. Tones of bad textures and pop ins. Anyone whose a fan of any Xeno game has no right to pop off about graphics lol.

You dont even have to bring that up, you can see clearly how wrong he is

Again you're comparing a game in development/ from a live stream to an actual already release game. Also X had a large Texture pack that was release just because the textures in the base game were so bad. I don't understand why this is such a hard concept for so many of you to grasp. Also the most in X isn't as close to the camera as he is in 2.

It looks like how he does in xenoblade 1
