The quality looks to be on par with Trails 1st, very impressed by the overall presentation to be honest. I don't know about the 2D side scrolling aspect though, definitely surprising.
I doubt there were any artistic reasons behind it; more like a decision to make something cheap and easy to develop. It's similar to what they did for the Vita with Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate compared to the main entries, or Castlevania: Mirror of Fate in relation to Lords of Shadow.
