Game looks massive and the environments are beautiful; still my most anticipated game this year.
I agree the character models aren't amazing compared to what else is out there, but they're a definite improvement over Xenoblade, and honestly I don't know how much they can do if they're directly adapting Kunihiko Tanaka's (?) style - I don't know, can anyone point to examples of games with a similar style that had good in-game character models, that didn't use cel-shading or something more animation-oriented? And as others pointed out, the main character is customizable, so hopefully you can make someone who suits your aesthetics more.
