Your comparisons are actually proving the opposite of your point. There's no way you can even approach the graphical fidelity in Hyperdimension Neptunia on Jeff's budget.

A fun way to visualize this comparison... this is the ending credits for Hyperdimension Neptunia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQXspiEngM8 (NSFW for scantily clad women)

There's 13 people listed as working on graphics. That's legitimately pretty small for professional games... but it's still huge compared to what Spiderweb can afford.

Without context you don't know what that means. That could be outsourced art from a cheaper country totaling less than 100k.
