Did you play Octopath Traveler? IMO if you liked or hated Octopath you will most likely feel the same for BD II. But yea the art style is just really odd to say the least.
I mean ultimately the gamplay is what makes these games but the artstyle looks lazy and something that would have been more appropriate for the DS. Really increases my appreciation for the care that was put into games Xenoblade Chronicales and DQXI

Impressions after 6 hours and finishing the prologue.
PROS Good pacing: You have your entire party within what seemed like 30 minutes. The story is nothing special thus far and it's your typical jrpg 'The Chosen One' traveling with a group, but the game doesn't take 10 hours to let you know. You can also use abilities before the game even gives you the tutorial and there is an option to pretty much fast forward/skip any tutorial or cut scene. Job System: It looks like you can see most if not all abilities for each Job Class as soon as you acquire that job which is nice since you don't have to guess or look it up online, Main Jobs level up A LOT faster than your secondary though. Environments: The obvious, but the towns and fields look great. The depth blur really helps too (I'm playing in handheld mode). Music: I'm admittedly not a REVO fan, but the music thus far is pretty good. Character Designs: There's been a lot of talk about this and I actually really like the designs of the main cast and other characters in this game. It reminds me of over the over the top designs from the James and the Giant Peach film form the 90's. The enemy deigns are also detailed and well done. However, there is a design early on (the talking monster) that is one of the worst I've seen in an SE game. There's also a boss who is a guy with a high pitched voice and dressed like a geisha.
CONS The Camera: It's pretty awful at times, especially when you're roaming in the middle of the field at night and have packs of wolves jumping out at you. Difficulty: I'm playing on Normal. There is a party member that's traveling with you (that you cannot control) who can one shot kill most enemies that are not bosses. They also frequently heal my party right after getting hit and before I even get a chance to make my next move. Not a fan of that.
There is a predetermined boss battles that you are supposed to lose. Stop wasting my time and items.
