I wouldn't go with "cartoony", but there's definitely a Team Fortress 2 quality I've seen on occasion even in the Limit Break trailer... However, as much as I wish we didn't have to sacrifice graphics for the sake of a wider game demographic, I'm also tired of each console Final Fantasy looking "sexier" than the last, while the gameplay suffers in the opposite direction...

If SE utilizes some sort of inverse correlation between graphic quality and gameplay quality, then ARR's gameplay should be an improvement over 1.0's .
