TF2's art style.
So, like, cartoony? Although I was thinking of something like that, but I think that tf2 looks cool because each of the characters has their own VERY unique look. I don't think that would be very easy to do in an rpg style game. And everyone has to be relatively the same size for vehicles and mounts and whatnot.
Realistic.

Purty... That is one reason to do realistic, I actually find it more immersive in some of the newer games, although bad realism is distracting to me at least
No do cel shaded like LOZ: Windwaker
I did think wind waker had good graphics, but that was kindof what I was thinking about in terms of anime, but with maybe less bright colors, a more realistic color palate. Although I was thinking of trying to get a drawn look like Valkyre Chronicles has, to make it seem more like anime art.
Depends on the game's theme
The theme of the game is basically survival and settlement, the concept of letting the players create towns and villages and empires.
