The original Xenoblade wasn't much of a looker, but it had much better character designs than this crap
This is the most Tetsuya Nomura that's not Tetsuya Nomura design I've ever seen. Nomura didn't design this did he?

You never know.

If you're gonna fan service at least do it right like 2B.

>>380467507
Yes, 2B is obviously meant to be attractive with her thigh high boots and slit's in her skirt and cleavage, but she's not constantly showing 90% of her skin.
>>380466916
While an ersatz Tidus, I prefer Shulk's proportions.

Jesus fuck look at all that useless attire on him.

You better keep following that program boy
What went so fucking wrong with XB2? I'll probably still get it but it feels like a BIG step down. It seems WAY too anime (we're getting a hot tub scene folks), the designs are godawful, and it's doing the shitty cheap game thing where they use multiple unknown artist's art and mesh them together in the UI. Speaking fo the UI, it seems too cutesy and bad compared to what we had before. The new combo mechanic that finishes in a cool attack seems good though, and i'll still love exploring the world. Just wish the designs were better.
>>380468035
At least he doesn't look like a child
>>380468035
its called fashion you double nigger
>>380468129
>we're getting a hot tub scene folks
Source?
>>380468129
Xenoblade is just as anime you fucking retard. It's a JRPG. I hate fags like you that think varying artstyles define how weeb something is. I bet you watch Jojo and think you're above the cut of anyone else
>>380468035
I didn't like Shulk's design at first but it grew on me. The new guy looks like a budget circus performer.
>>380468035
Yes but he's not wearing an un-practical heavy as fuck diving suit. Or a sweater onesie that stops at his thighs. Or fucking clown boots. If anything Shulk is just "over-designed".
>this thread again
its a shop
>>380468304
Yeah random metal circles on a jacket sure is high fashion, look at those kneepads and belts on his arms
>>380468129
It's rushed as fuck. It wouldn't be hard to convince someone that this is a Tales game.
Why is Japan so awful at character design?
>>380463767
His design is really fucking stupid, those have to be the most retarded pants ever designed. Homura/Pyra is cute though and my eyes are going to be on her the entire time.
>>380468347
Do watch jojo, don't think i'm above the cut - but if you can't tell this is a lot more anime than XB and XCX then you need to re-evaluate. We're literally getting the hot tub scene, cutesy anime art plastered through-out the UI, masked gundam char character, and moe blob girl who helps out as a weapon. Yes, XB felt anime but not this fucking anime.
>>380468752
This is Nomura designing these again. And I mean literally Nomura. At minimum 90+% of "bad" designs that are infamous come from Nomura.
>>380464167
What were they thinking?
"let's just throw some more weird things on him! MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A FUCKING CHRISTMAS TREE"?
>>380468306
In the design documents they flash through in the first trailer one of the scene's was translated to be a hot tub scene.
>>380468035
>>380467824
Shulk is boring character in his game
People love him because smash meme
>>380469141
We're not talking personality wise (especially since we don't know new kid personality wise. Shit, most of us don't know his name!) but design wise Shulk wins. Don't think we're getting customization this time either so it REALLY sucks.
>>380464167
>knee nickles
This will never not make me laugh.
>>380468752
What?
>>380468973
What defines if something is more 'anime' or not? I really wanna know your outlook because your argument is essentially like saying certain games in America look more 'American'. Do you realize how fucking dumb you sound? Just say you don't like the artstyle and be done with it.
>>380469141
Couldn't give two shits about his personality. It's the character design and proportions.
>>380469390
>uniform wearing high school boy
I like SMT but Raidou's design isn't that good or original.
>>380469061
Hold the fuck up, SE Nomura?
That looks insanely different from his other stuff.
>>380469554
>high school boy
that's a Taisho-era policeman
>>380469390
I always hated how older SMT games had their characters have that black outline on their upper lip, making it look like they have a moustache. The Demons are virtually GOAT designs though.
>>380469556
While there's an absence of Zippers, but his presence tells a story in and of itself.
http://www.dualshockers.com/kingdom-hearts-iii-tetsuya-nomura-xenoblade-chronicles-2-switch/
Not to mention that kid looks very close to Sora's KH2 design.
>>380468347
Not him, but there's a huge difference between Jojo and modern anime.
It was written 30 years ago and they were autistic about keeping everything the same, anime as whole changed completely from those times.
It's only in recent years that anime started getting out of it's moeshit phase.
I'm waiting for the day they go full westaboo.
>>380469632
Then why does he have the face of a high schooler?
>>380469390
>Posting a dead man's artwork
>>380468752
they're not
Almost all of the most iconic video game characters were designed in Japan
even the worst designs out of Japan are still leagues more creatively driven or Avant-garde than the typical western designed character
>>380469632
That is absolutely his school uniform.
>>380469968
Here's an alive one then
>>380463767
the new protag looks like garbage, will i be able to customize him?
>>380468347
I think what people are trying to express with "this looks too anime" is that it looks like the sword art online end of the anime scale.
I agree with the criticism to be honest.
Xenoblade's character design is confident enough to have its own personality, and the characters base outfits all look pretty practical.
X had the potato faces but I think that the main characters outfits were also pretty well designed and certainly suited the game's environment.
Everything I've seen from Xeno2 looks like pretty generic LN art or something, which some people are going to love. SA is real popular after all.
I loved the other two games though so I'm willing to give it a shot, but I can see why the artstyle is so polarizing.
>>380469416
I literally just told you. Do you want to argue with me just to argue with me dude? Yes the art style plays a hand, but I already said it comes down to the moe blob girl, kiddy looking characters, the hot tub scene, the whole humans / other beings being weapons for you (technically it was the same in the original xenoblade, but now they feel like that valkyrie drive game), and just the overtly anime art being plastered everywhere in the UI instead of using the models (the UI menu itself looks kinda bad in all honesty though, but it's not really "anime" menu wise). Yes, i'm biased against the art style but i'll probably still play it because I like JRPGs and Xenoblade's combat. Not really anything like it so far in the switch's life span and most of my game's up until then will be multiplayer since that's what Nintendo is pushing out.
>>380464167
That handle looks sharp
>>380463767
I want him to step on my dick
>>380470380
Considering the fact they have art instead of models in the UI? Probably not.
>>380470861
Didn't Xenoblade Chronicles 1 use art for the UI too, yet you can still customize them?
>>380463767
that what you get for talking shit about potatos, faggots
who is laughing now
>>380463767
Reminder that Nomura actually designed the god tier new Nopon tank.
>>380471428
Yes, except it was just icon's and then the full body's were view able. XBC2 uses full body art instead.
>>380463767
This is your new smash character.
>>380468035
Shulk is overdesigned with too many details but his overall attire makes sense at least.
No exposed thighs and diving gear
>>380472372
Oh man, that's the dream team right there.

at least everything he wears is proportional and makes sense to wear, even if it looks silly, the new guy literally looks like a fucking clown.
>>380474959

So fucking hyped for the music in this game.
