They're factually much better than Xenoblade 1 characters (except Dunban and ONLY Dunban) and obviously X too.

People are just retarded. It seems like /v/ has higher and higher standards every yearh, of course truth it /v/ just shitposts more.

>>380460774
Every character looks good except the main character. What a shame.

I agree the character design is fine. I'm not super worried about their physical design, though. I have faith the writing will make me love the characters. Xbc had one of my favorite parties in any game and it sounds like they are doubling down on the character/story focus.

Between this and Mario having a Switch is going to be amazing this year.

I prefer "generic".

It's almost like people were just OK with Xenoblade characters because they couldn't even notice how ugly they are due to low res textures.

There's a reason why it takes work to make originally SD games look good in HD. Those plastered-on face textures from XB1 don't.

They don't look good in SD either, but I never claimed they did.

It is a more generic anime style, but I honestly don't care what it LOOKS like so long as the gameplay and story are fine. And from what we've seen so far I'm optimistic.

Plus, honestly, X's models just looked really weird. I'm glad they didn't continue in that style.

Elysium is a fairly common word in JRPGs.

>>380464307
Because the game has nothing to do with stopping the conflict.

It takes place years after it's already happened, without any game having to do with it, with humans trying to eke out a living on a new planet. Even at the end of the game, you haven't stopped either of those alien races that went to war and got your planet in the crossfire, and you barely know about one extreme group of one of the alien races involved.

When the fuck has that been used before?

I hated the characters in XC1, Shulk looked like a nigger in game and they all have horrible faces.

XCX was more of the same, even though I liked Lynn everyone had a stupid early PS2 face that doesn't even look good.

In XC2 characters have an actual pleasant design, I want to fuck the Pyra/Homura and the cat girl is cute af.

>>380465095
Yeah, but then you have the Architect who sounds like MML2's Master, the various settlements on the backs of titans which are like the islands in MML2's water world (each monitored by a potentially destructive system) and the mysterious girl connected to Elysium the MC meets at the beginning (Sera in MML2). It's just a series of amusing similarities.

>>380464980
And you know that you can't upgrade/alter this cooldown somehow throughout the game or do similar things, get even more arts/sets and whatever. That's cool.

But that's not something we knew when we first saw trailers. The first trailers gave us a generic starting off point to the plot, just "aliens destroyed Earth, we got onto a ship and left."

X subverted the generic expectations once the game actually came out, so getting mad at 2's apparent generic plot when X's looked just as generic from the trailers is pretty hypocritical.

Ys is great, but that's not of the same scale or quality.

Yes, the character models in 8 have a better style, but not technically, unless there is a PS4 version with better visual quality.

As far as the music is concerned, while XCX's OST was serviceable, it was hit or miss with the fan base. I don't think anyone will disagree with the current state of XC2's OST

Ys's OST is always solid though. I'm getting through Nightmare Ys II right now and it's a challenge.

It would be nice if Blades had special equipment of their own. Or maybe even their own HP bar. It seems weird that they don't seem to suffer damage during battle as they're supporting their Drivers.

I can't get over the fact that half the characters will just be standing fix a fixed pose in the middle of battle.

Because before collectables were literally a way to fill the empty world. They decided to make the world less empty and fill it with more stuff and make collectables individual instead of 100% generic.

That you have a problem with this shows that people really don't deserve good games anymore. They are wasted on you.

>>380471808
I don't get why there's not more outrage. Perhaps the console warring during E3 is still so fresh in people's mind that people who like Xenoblade are hesitant to speak up against the god awful design of the MC. Well I own a WiiU, will eventually buy a switch, bought Xenoblade and Xenoblade X and I fucking hate it.

>>380471623
I'm a straight well adjusted male with a 9/10 girlfriend and I can't stop getting boners for Pyra. My gf says something like "omg how can they make a character that dress like a prostitute in a videogame" but she was half joking, I bet she loved the big tits too.

Because in Xenoblade armor changes the model. He won't wear the default outfit for very long.

>>380471808
There's also possibly a child. Can't tell if it's a boy or girl.

>>380472121

X isn't related to it, and 2 doesn't seem to be either.

>>380472350
X and Chronicles 1 are completely unrelated. 2 probably isn't either, but they may do some plot twist.

Nothing yet on 2 but X is pretty much it's own world.
Some aliens talk about their mythology and it's kind of the story of Xenoblade 1 but that's really it

>>380472790
>I assume whoever the blonde girl's Driver is.

I think given how the first trailer highlights her, Rex and Pyra the most that Blond will become another one of Rex's blade later in the story.

>>380472907
The only issue with the collectables was that they didn't tell you where they were so you needed a faq to know where they were. And doing quests with them was awful because of that. If they are taking away quests whatever but why add you digging them up when it literally worse than just running over them and collecting them?

It's still missing a black. I don't get it.

At least XB1 had one cool one.

I really wish they stuck with Kunihiko Tanaka. I love his art and Monolith Soft were making improvements on bringing his style into 3D.

>>380473236
Because it isn't. Helps you get immersed and the world seem more interactive and the gameplay more intuitive all-around. It would be bad if everything else stayed the same and things still require the same amount of those collectables and they are still everywhere randomly, but I assume this is not the case.

>>380473236
That was in the first Xenoblade, in X all of the hard ones to find were talked about by NPC and the ones that weren't you could figure it out by yourself since they were in caves or unique places

>>380472251
They have full body artwork for the characters in the pause menu now and no sight of changing armor in gameplay. I would love to be proven wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if they did away with it.

It's also something I would of expected them to show off in gameplay if it existed like they did for X's treehouse segment years back.

>>380473519
I like how his style looks in drawings and all, but the models just looked bad.

>>380473590
Compared to the first Xenoblade is an upgrade since the world had nothing to interact with, compared to X is a big fucking downgrade

>>380473519
The art of X makes me hard.
It's a shame that the faces looked kinda poor in the 3D models.
But everything else looked great.

I was really hoping for some kind of X port to the switch but I can't see it happening any time soon.

>>380471835

Since this is pretty much confirmed, can we also expect a black dude in Xeno?

>>380473942
And unfortunately we play with the models, not the concept art, so they had to do something.

>>380473874
>They have full body artwork for the characters in the pause menu
Lots of games do this but still let you change the models.

>>380473694
In X they just said what area they were at. But not what part of the area. When X came out pretty much everyone kept sharing the collectible images. Fuck those mandatory quests that force you to find the collectibles.

>>380473874
You actually have a point there, I'm actually worried, maybe they dropped the armor changing in the game, hell not even FF does it.

>>380473942
how can you say that when the model is art in 3D?

What is Rex's Japanese name? i assume it's a lot better like how Homura is better than Pyra.

>>380473979
Besides the abundant treasures in X that barely contained anything worthwhile, there's hardly anything to interact with.

Wait, is it really simplified? I had to quit XCX because it was way too fucking simple I felt like my brain was melting. It was just raw numbers with progressive numerical upgrades and absolutely zero strategy.

Here's hoping this apparent menushit simplification is an adjustment to them implementing some actual speck of strategy here and there. Not going to buy if it's isn't deeper than the previous titles.

I believe the reason for the dumbification of the aesthetics is that they want the game to come out as soon as possible to give the Switch a robust early library.
So this looks like it could be yet another alpha stage game rushed out of the door missing one year of polish.

I cannot explain this objectively shittier chibi aesthetics otherwise. It's just simpler for the sake of simplicity.

As a low tier artist making a living on anime commissions, it looks like you're the retarded one here. X1 anatomy and facial structure is infinitely superior than this pathetic garbage.

Some of the bad faces manage to be even worse than X's, which is an incredible accomplishment in and of itself.

>>380480259
>overpowered flying mech that trivializes 100% of the exploration rather early in the game?
You can't make a point if you rushed the game, you know what the plot of the game is? Find the Lifehold, and you do that by exploring and being a member of BLADE at the same time, meaning you have to go around Mira and NLA doing division work.
On top of that the Mediator work you can do in NLA gives more angles to the plot of being stranded in Mira and being against the clock trying to find the lifehold
By the point you get the Doll is when you are at a level that will need bigger enemies to be killed, only improving the gameplay against the enemies
The only thing trivialized is your experience since you decided to go for the higher level stuff, if you are retarded enough to rush things it's your problem. Levels and size mean a lot in this game, specially since it's a RPG. At the end the only thing ruined is your mental ability

The Skells had issues especially in regards to combat, but I don't think they tivialized exploration at all.

This does seem like it will be annoying, especially when you consider your waifu is a weapon so having her out constantly likely won't be plausible.

Also it seems like a gacha system to roll for new blades.

It may be a cool and nice new take compared to teh previous systems arte wise, but having 3 people standing around doing nothing and trying to get the better ones will likely be a hassle.

And you know Xenoblade games have been had any mechanics that were a hassle.

No, from what I understand, it's four blades you can switch to (similar to Xenoblade X's melee/ranged switches) that each have three normal arts and one talent art (similar to Xenoblade 1), and if multiple party members have talent arts at the ready, you can execute combos.

Anyone else scared that Xenoblade 2 will completely eclipse X, robbing us from X stages/character/songs in Sm4sh Deluxe/5, from a proper sequel developing from the cliffhanger to X, from expanding and tweaking up mech combat in future Xeno titles and so on?

I would still like an X stage in smash at some point but I wouldn't mind if Rex gets in over Elma or who have you. I'm still praying for a continuation of the X series though. Maybe in 3 or 4 years.

I hate the MC's pants but I like his scuba diving helmet. Everyone else's design is fine

I actually like Rex's design. It doesn't bother me at all.

Don't they draw porn?

Akihiko Yoshida.

He literally never, ever said that you retard. He doesn't want the game to be censored. He wants an English release that isn't censored.

My only issues are those dumb pants. Other than that he seem fine to me. But I don't mind the super anime style.

>>380487240
The worst part is easily his pants, completely detracts from the rest of his design. I like the diver motif he has for the rest, like the helmet, wetsuit, and harpoon, but the pants just look ridiculous.

>>380486870
Yeah, he does. All the time.

You can ask that about literally any japanese artist and the answer will be yes

Lol

Japan treats porn as any other art. Hell nearly most major artists started in porn and moved on to other things only to move back to porn.

Calling it now, Rex will go through a time skip in the story and be older for the rest of the game
