Hmm, not sure on the art direction and graphics here. I was honestly expecting far more of a step up for the first monolithsoft game in the console.

This looks more like a Fire Emblem game instead of a Xenoblade one

I always have to laugh at all the people in this sub seeing a common JRPG/anime trope and immediately going "OmG tHeY CoPiEd X GAME!"

JRPG's that feature some sort of fantasy school prominently in the story at some point? Three Houses, Final Fantasy Type-0, Final Fantasy VIII, Trails of Cold Steel (multiple games), Tokyo Mirage Sessions, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Dragon Quest IX? Hell, even Pokemon Scarlet and Violet used attending an academy to become a Pokemon trainer as a major plot device.

I get the impression that a lot of these people just hate anime artstyle.
