The models really aren't that great anyway. They're ok in stillshots, but when they actually move, they jiggle and fidget constantly and the animations are not very smooth, so they look either robotic or drunk.
I do think the localization looks to be worse than the japanese version, but that's mainly because there are glitches and flaws so far that either don't exist or happen really rarely in the japanese cart. Stuff like model pop-in and slowdown when combat starts are pretty clear indications of that. Really, if we do lose skinship, we're probably getting fucked by Nintendo being too cheap to bother than out of some moral outrage or whatever.
