Graphics look very last gen.
Why are textures Nintendo Switch quality? Am I the only one who noticed? Maybe the textures are good but the lighting is bad? Either way, it doesn't look like a AAA game in 2023. At least not in the screenshots or videos.

I mean they do, I feel like its party due to the fact texture options seem to do literally nothing.
But theres more to graphics than just textures. Theres teh amount of detail int he world, how far you can see, how effects look, clutter which is part of detail, lighting ect.
It does look AAA, but it does look more like a 2016 game.
Which idrc I like graphics but I also play games like Morrowind or 7 days to die. It isnt super important.

Plus it helps more people experience the game. Right its kinda not the best optimized, like you get good frames but the school has a ton of stuttering since this game stutters when loading areas for a bit.

But def not switch lookin graphics,
Go look at most JRPG games on PC, that is what switch graphics look like.
Switch looks like maybe a 360 game, but with better textures for character models.

so it CAN be insane

BUT

overall the characters and enemy models are very much last gen and i think its simply because of how long this game has been in production.

the textures and such for the world are high quality its just the models are very much ps4/xbox one and i think its main upgrade to current gen is the lighting and we will see that once the last gen versions get released.

it will also look worse on switch of course but i dunno how badly tho and if it will actually be playable is a whole other question.

i agree the game is overall "meh" with its graphics but the lighting helps make them look better than they honestly should

Oh wow, an honest answer.

post screenshot or we don't know what you are talking about. Perhaps you have a potato PC? if so then of course it will look last gen since you can't turn it on max
