Are you planning to get ゼノブレイド2 for your Nintendo Switch?

Why would I get a game thst glorifies gnosticism and criticizes our Lord Savior Jesus Christ/God?
ye
Although I don't have a switch yet
Yes. Character design still strikes a weird chord, but I'm always willing to gamble on my man Takahashi.
Dunno yet. Hate the isekai art style where character noses disappear when facing the camera, armor design and protagonist seem terrible and for every cool thing in the trailer there were 2 things I didn't like.
But that's from a minute and a half of footage so I'm not gonna make a decision just yet,

Why is everyone just now making a fuzz about the weeb character design?
Tales of games are even worse offenders and people loves them. Plus Monolith games have always put way more emphasis on the worlds than on their character's design and since both previous games were critizised for having weirdly modelled faces they went for something safe on this one.
I mean, there's a fucking huge flying whale we will probably be able to explore or mount or both. I don't see what's not to be excited about.
detest the character design especially the main character who look like one of those disgusting beta bitch from harem animu.
>>377405587
This.
>>377405587
There's more to character design than being weeb or not being weeb.
as a matter of fact i am
>>377405587
Xenoblade 2, designwise, looks like something we've seen a million times before. It looks like a Nep game, or Artificial Academy 2, or Akiba's Strip, or any number of genericly weeby games.
Xenosaga had some ugly 3d models. Xenoblade had some ugly 3d models. Xenoblade X had some ugly 3d models. But, as unappealing as the human models in those games were, they at least weren't generic as well. I'll take Black Tar over Time to Fight any day. If I wanted to play a game that played it safe, I wouldn't be a fan of Takahashi.

>Tales of games are even worse offenders and people loves them
>people loves them
Fuck off. Tales sucks and Xenoblade 2's characters look fucking awful.
>>377405587
Well, because it's even more generically animu-weeb (particularly the moe end of the spectrum) than usual. Definitely more-so than any previous Xeno game so far imo. But in the end it's just the routine growing pains with Monolith's character designs. Xenoblade X was my 2015 GOTY and I was absolutely perplexed by the faces at first.
Tales doesn't cop flack because it's consistent with it's visual style.
Is this one of those games where I don't need to play the others and I can just jump in?
>>377404725
>that grass pop in 10 ft radius from the character
oh dear
>>377406202
Probably. Xenoblade's been very Final Fantasy-esque in regards to entries to the series so far.
>>377406202
but you definitely should play the others
>>377406363
but I packed up my Wii U its so inconvenient
>>377406116
>It looks like a Nep game
Nep doesn't have a generic style, though. Tsunako's art is easily distinguishable.
>>377406202
I'm about to spoil this shit for you, back off

Nope.
I'll emulate it on PC like the first one I guess.
>>377406116

3 is beautiful. Some of the best 3D design of all time

>>377406139
I just think people should cut it some slack. The only generic thing about this game so far is the character faces, which in the context of the series is not even generic at all since they changed for each one of their games.
There's lots to look forward to in the game besides "i don't like the faces" and monolith soft have proven themselves as way more than competent at making cool games.
>>377406202
most likely. though xbc and xbcx are amazing games
most likely not.
I tried both already and I can't get through the gameplay. I love exploring fuckhuge areas but the mmo-like battle system I really really hate.
>>377404725
Most likely not. The game looks good, but I doubt it will have decent gameplay.
>>377406669
Peoples are retarded
Xenosaga 1
>Ugly anime faces!
Xenosaga 2 pander to west and looks different and realistic
>Ugly anime faces!
Xenosaga 3 perfectly adapt the original artist style in a 3D space with somewhat real-ish shaders
>Ugly anime face!
Xenoblade looks much worse than 3
>Wow it's a nice game!
Chronicle X
>Ugly anime face!
Xenoblade 2
>Ugly anime face! (the first time this would actually applies because they used cell shading for the first time)
>>377406669
>There's lots to look forward to in the game besides "i don't like the faces" and monolith soft have proven themselves as way more than competent at making cool games.
That'll be a lot more apparent when there's more than 2 minutes of footage. I did like the airship settlement and the urban area with enemies running around on the ground floor, though.

X2 when?

Is it pronounced Zeno or ZEENO?!?!?

Here's your (you)
>>377405587
Because it looks bad. I really dont care how "weeb" something is as long as it looks good, 2's designs don't look good.
>>377405587
/v/ is full of normies that hate anime now. Reddit was a mistake.

In my opinion, I believe Xenoblade is going to split into 2 different sub-series.
You'll have the numbered Xenoblades that will functional similar to that of Final Fantasy. Each game having it's own world/universe etc. These games will likely focus on narrative and characters. I also think they'll share the same more anime-ish style.
Then we'll have the X series which will be more focused on gameplay, multiplayer, and exploration. I think these games will go for the more anime-ish realism that X had. It's also possible that these games will continue the same narrative but that's yet to be determined. Maybe only a couple of them will be about mira. idk tho
>>377407727
>horriblesubs

Sad.
>>377407468
nobody played X because Pii U so i'm guessing we'll never see a sequel
>>377407541
does it look like ゼーノ or ゼノ
>>377407468
Nigga knows whats up.

>>377407826
?
>>377407825
>X sub-series
As long as they keep X style enemy, armor and alien designs I'm fine with this. If they make things like multiplayer and skells actually work that's great too.

>Tales doesn't cop flack because it's consistent with it's visual style.
Maybe that's because they've been using the same modelers and drawers since 2000 and neither of them have made a single attempt to try and upgrade their department to at least try to make their characters look better.
I mean have actually sat back and examined how fucking cliche Aizen, Laphicet, Sorey, Mikleo, Laliah, Edna and Eleanor look? They legitimately look like they're from early to mid 2000's anime but with a redux.
The real reason why Tales games don't get flack for their generic art style is because their fan base will gladly gobble their trash up as long as it has some form of gay/lesbian pandering and a story that at least attempts to not fuck it's own ass like Zesteria did.
>>377407942
Nah, I'm asking if it's ジノ or ゼノ. I've been pronouncing it as the former all this time.
You're hilarious if you think I'm going to give jewtendo any more of my shekels, as much as I loved Xenoblade and XCX.
>>377408191
It's ゼノ
>>377407963
>we will never see New Tokyo
NINTENDO WON
>>377409273
It would be a great opportunity for Wrothians to be around and maybe be able to use their skells for the ultimate weeb experience.
>>377405587
>Tales of games are even worse offenders
Never played the game but I think this guy has a pretty baller design. If you honestly think it's a "worst offender" than the XC2 designs I have to question your sanity.
