Excuse? I mean, I get what you're saying, but what?
>>380427123
You collect 'blades' that govern your abilities and stats. Like in SMT how you collect demons that do the same shit.
I'm surprised they made it look actually worse than Breath of the Wild. This isn't even a game that needed to be made for 2 consoles.
>>380427347
Can you fuse them together? Do you negotiate with enemy NPCs to recruit these blades?
>>380427347
That's more like Persona. Persona you recruit demons to augment yourself freely in battle. SMT you're generally a pretty solidly built player character with lots of methods of customization and demons you recruit are allies that fill your party.
>>380427363
BotW is a simple action game with physics puzzles. Xenoblade 2 is a complex RPG with various mechanics that the game has to keep track off.
>>380427493
Don't know about fusing yet but that could be cool.
During the demo they said you battle one of the blades and if you beat him you recruit him to your arsenal.
>>380427503
>implying Persona isn't SMT
>>380427507
BotW is a more complicated game. This game is built with an MMO combat system. The kinda shit system made to function with hundreds of players in view and not matter very much should lag become an issue.

Where's my Hecate in this new fandangled vidya game then?

Given that it costs crystals to summon some sort of filler enemies, wouldn'tGacha gamesbe a better comparison?

Show me where it says Shin Megami Tensei.

REEEE WHY DOES MOBILE HAVE TO INFLUENCE EVERYTHING

*filler Blades
>>380427762
right here
>>380427854
So older games were SMT, but clearly by the newest definition it is not.
>>380427854
Woops
>Just like how SMT won't let us fuck our demons, Xenoblade 2 won't let us fuck our swords
IT'S NOT FAIR
>>380427920
>>380427762
>SMT fags so desperate to disassociate themselves from the Persona games
>>380426357
The presentation was awful. They could have at least found competent voice actors
>>380427920
Which is kinda ironic because Persona 5 is actually the most like SMT with demons instead of shadows and talking to enemies mid battle.
>>380428076
They could hire Helen Keller's corpse and it would still sound less awful than Hiro Shimono.
>>380428036
If you want a game about fucking your sword, you just need to play another game.
>>380426357
neogaf is working hard to get it censored, i'm not interested any more.
>>380426357
Looks like generic jrpg shovelware to me.
>>380428036
Yeah but I can still masturbate to them.
>>380428387
How old are you? The Xeno games and the team behind them have an outstanding pedigree dating back to the golden age of JRPGs. This isn't some Korean softcore porn shit that is pushed onto Steam.
>>380428503
>Pretending blade has anything on the rest of the games with the xeno name
>>380428192
>recommending compile heart shit
>>380428848
That isn't what Im talking about you dense shit. The team that makes Xenoblade is comprised of and lead by a lot of the same people that made the older Xeno games and classic Square games from the SNES era.
>>380428076
Seriously. I know the devs are competent enough to make a solid RPG, but holy shit that voice acting. You just know we won't get JP voices, too.
>>380428942
What happened to them between then and now?

>>380429113
What do you mean? The first Xenoblade game was IMO one of the best JRPGs in the last few generations. Xenoblade X was bloated but still better than the majority of shit released recently in the genre. This game is fairing up to be at the very least an enjoyable experience.
>>380429215

I swear if this game gets censored in even the slightest way, I'm smashing my switch and killing myself
Why is the combat so garbage? It looks like your average Korean MMO
>>380429686
The Switch is region free.
Just buy the fucking Japanese version if you care that much.

they were the best part of x
>>380429890
They are not part of the franchise, XCX is not canon.

It's a Guilty Crown ripoff
>>380430016
what the fuck are you talking about, the xeno franchise has always revolved around mechs.
>>380430712
It's called shitposting. Perhaps you've heard of it.
>>380429890
>>380430712
Mechs are dead.

X2 despite running on a more powerful system is looking worse than XCX which looked pretty damn sleek on WiiU only hampered by 720p resolution.
Maybe the budget is smaller as I know nintendo went ham with the development of XCX.
>>380428503
>>380428387Im still hype for X2 despite the cheesy as fuck "story" we saw in the e3 trailer. Hope there's xeno like surprises somewhere in there.
>>380431084
From Software's next game is Armored Core (because they're a little tired of making souls), you heard it here first.
The arms of Iron have withered. The legs of Iron have lost their power. The cannon lies buried, never to fire again. The iron soldier is dead. The wolf and the lion are dead. Those who held fangs in their hearts are all gone.
RIP mechs their era is ended.
>>380431941tanks were always better
>>380429274
Game looks like its struggling to run on its own hardware and the character designs are offensively shonen shit.
Switch was a mistake.
>>380428041
>mfw retards like you fail to realise that Persona is not SMT in the literal sense
SMT or Shin Megami Tensei (rough translation - true goddess reincarnation) refers specifically to SMT 1/2/3/4/Apocalypse and IF..., while spinoff games like Persona and Devil Survivor come under the alternate umbrella term "Megami Ibunroku", which roughly translates to "Another Goddess". Other spin-offs still such as Raidou Kuzunoha and Soul Hackers fall into the Devil Summoner tag.
Fans of the series as a whole often refer to mainline and spin-off games as MegaTen, or "Megami Tensei" because it can be easier than using the tag of each series seperately. When people say that Persona is not SMT, they are correct. The only times "Shin Megami Tensei" have ever been used outside of the actual mainline games themselves were on western box-art at a time when Atlus did not yet have much of a western presence, hence Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3/4 and others.
Get FUCKING educated.
>>380433018
persona is the only smt series that matters
>>380433479
Persona originally stemmed from IF, a mainline title. Therefore, without mainline, Persona would not exist.

Sure, but now only Persona matters. Get your golden meme face outta here.

Is there a point to this post?
Seriously, what the fuck are you trying to say?

Jesus am I dreaming
>>380426357
This and ports of the first two would make me buy a switch.
>>380434015
that sounds like a big downgrade for combat, the different blades better make up for it
>>380434015
>not a fucking collectathon
I guarantee it will be.
>>380428267
NeoGAF is only relevant as long as you keep mentioning them. What's there that needs to be censored? The sword? What's the matter fagboy can't take a little exposure to skin?
>>380434440
>sounds like a big downgrade for combat
Looks like one too, though this is probably early in the game (I think?) and JRPGs really like to unlock important combat options 20 hours in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3a579Y9FqA
>>380434635
The only that thing that it has going for it it's the launch mechanic and that was in fucking Xenosaga, not a great example for deep gameplay
>>380429758
I can't read moonrunes
>>380434635
>Looks like one too, though this is probably early in the game (I think?)
I mean he is level 11 in that battle and thats around the level you fight metal face which is the first real boss fight in Xenoblade and that wasn't an engaging or very interesting fight either. I mean you had only 4 abilties at that point too.
>>380434773
It's just a replacement for Daze.
Although, the commentator says the status chain can be even longer, so I wonder what Launch leads into?
Having too many statuses that can only be inflicted in a certain order sounds pretty shitty to set up though. you end up with too many of your moves being dedicated to only their place in the chain.
This fucking battle theme though.

You think death is going to stop Territorial Rotbart from defending his territory?
>>380436984
Wasn't he an optional boss?
I guess in canon, Shulk just didn't do that
>>380436605
does it play for every encounter? Mechanical Rhythm had more impact since it had specific places where it was played
