I will continue to argue, to my death bed if need be, that not only has SE been surpassed in graphical and art direction terms by quite a few AAA developers out there, but their recent games haven't been very impressive visually at all. Not hideous mind you (unless we're only talking about art style, in which case yes, stuff like FFXIII is pretty hideous), but certainly not anywhere near the high bar some developers have been setting. We'll see what happens when their new engine hits I guess, but right now, they're really just not tech leaders at all anymore.
