Nowhere near enough belts.

I hope we'll get to see to see some more xenoblade at treehouse but I don't think so.

I hadn't seen this yet. Oh my god this sounds awful

What made Xenoblade 1's voice acting so great wasn't necessarily that it was british, it was because the voice acting had genuine emotion.

>>380592598
>MC's voice actor

Oh god
Oh god no!
I recognize that voice. Arc Rise Fantasia.
I thought this would never happen again. Everyone laughed about it so much. How did he ever get a job again?

No, the Nopon is Nomura's character

>>380592598
God fuck
When Shulk goes "I'm really feeling it!" you can TELL he's REALLY feeling it.
This MC on the other hand, isn't feeling it at all.

Bad voices and worse main characters. There's nothing interesting about sword girl becasue you can tell she's just a wall flower waifu like breath of the wild Zelda and that chick from Guilty Crown and the boy is obviously a stupid horny brat whose doing all this because a hot girl asked him to, he'll probably get another girl or a harem later on, the fox loli might even wind up liking him. It's like they saw the first game and decided to trash it in favor of more generic anime characters thinking that'll increase the sells.

>>380593408
ratatosk!

>>380594553
the characters were objectively worse in the last two games, so if that's the only issue this will be GOTY for sure

Nowhere...

It's the Xenoblade we know and love alright: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa2PH7zQVmU


Hoping it gets a lot more polish, it needs it. It's 720p30 with some framerate issues and the resolution and jaggies don't work well with the art style. Hoping it becomes 1080p like Splatoon and ARMS. Also, hopefully they take into account criticism and rerecord some lines, "TAKE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS" sounds like ass, everyone else is alright.
>>380595409
hopefully they patch it in like botw

>>380595594
XC1 and XCX are the odd ones.

So, Xenogears and Xenosaga HD remasters for Switch when? Nintendo pretty much owns Monolith Soft at this point, they should make use of it.

>>380595594
Gears is still the GOAT.

Although while it's more accurate to use the Episode I artwork to represent Xenosaga, the CG artwork from Episode III is a billion times better.

>>380595691
I can understand when people say XC2 look generic but at least it looks good.

>>380595869
That would be awesome. I've never played them and if I would do it anywhere it'd be on the switch

>Doesn't include Gears or Saga 1-2
I only made that to gripe about how the faces degraded over time since a ps2 game yesterday.

>>380595460
I don't think it can run at 1080p on a Switch, at least I hope rock solid 900p@30fps. Remember BoTW run at that resolution but with unstable framerate because it was Nintendo's first attempt at open world games, also considering Monolith's experience and the fact that a MASSIVE like Xenoblade X ran at rock solid 720p@30fps on Wii U I can imagine this game running 900p@30 in TV without problems

>>380596564
BotW got patched pretty quickly, also it's almost certainly much more graphically intensive than Xenoblade 2 due to the physics engine.

>>380592598
I played Xeno 1 with Jap voices because I found them to have even more emotion. Hoping for dual audio here too, but it might be an eshop download due to cartridge size if that's the case.

Regardless, we haven't heard enough of the VA to make a complete judgment in Xeno 2 yet I feel.

>>380595869
Monolith Soft have nothing to do with those franchises, they are owned by Square Enix and Bandai Namco respectively despite that they were the developers.

>>380595594
When I see them next to each other like that, XB2 seems more in line with XG/XS art style.

>>380596564
BotW was made for Wii U though. I think there is a chance for this to be 1080p30 easily. Look at Mario Kart, that is 1080p60, as is Splatoon 2.

>>380596564
Considering how fast it was patched it is safe to say that BotW had really bad optimization for the switch. And looking at how certain games like Fast RMX improved quite a bit from the Wii U version, it is safe to say that much more could have been done with BotW if it was built from the ground up for the Switch.
So if the Wii U was able to run a game like XCX well, then it is all up to Monolith Soft on where they want to spend the extra power: more graphical detail or performance.

Read this. Seems like this game has been in development even during XCX. I expect nothing but a masterpiece now

>>380596889
how can you be so blind?

>>380597145
Check this post >>380595691
and tell me with a straight face that the XB/XBX characters have more in common with XG
I should have specified I'm talking strictly in game models here, I think X has the best overall art assets

Takahashi:

Welp, it was nice while the franchise lasted. RIP Xeno franchise. Time to find a new hobby

Kek, Gears and Blade have the burning hometown while Saga and X have the spaceship crash.

>I’ll leave the stories about the solemn old men and hot stylish guys to someone else(even though there’s way more demand for that stuff), and go ahead with this.
Translation: I really wanted to just unwind with waifus this time around.

>>380597631
>>380597140

>>380597631
He's not selling out and the source is here:

>>380597140


Basically he wants to portray a unique story and the game has been in development since even before Xeno X was finished.

>>380597541
Hello first Xeno games I will not be playing

It's nice to meet you

>>380597541
So Monolith Soft has tasted what money feels like, and is going in Capcom's direction.

>>380597721
Gears also has a crashing space-ship

>>380597840
He is by saying he will leave stuff to other people

>>380597541
But...I wanted solemn old men and hot stylish guys.

>>380597145
>>380597549
I think he's trying to say that they're both the most stylistically traditional anime than the rest of the series.

>>380597541
We Metroid now? Takahashi is going Sakamoto? History really does repeat itself.

>>380597967
You're right, and it was the best one too. I omitted it because I was thinking of the start of the game proper rather than a backstory from the far past.

>>380598010
Well yeah, he is saying he will leave stuff that he doesn't want to do to other people, just like every developer ever. He just specified what it is, solemn old men and hot stylish guys. So he wants to do something unique as those two stereotypes have been overdone in jrpgs quite a bit.

>>380598237
>>380597541
Wanting to do something new with the franchise is not killing it, X had a pretty fucking shitty story overall so it's a nice change of pace to try something new.

>>380597840
That's corporate talk for "We're pandering to otaku waifufags now" Hence the boring ass main girl with the hot body and the loli party member

>>380598483
I don't know if it was just me, but I was being sarcastic. I'd be worried if it was just me.

>>380597541
Way to post the quote out of context. Here's the actual paragraph, it makes a lot more sense.

Takahashi:

>"I want to make something that people can look back on fondly one day as something that really shaped their lives. Something like what I loved as a boy, like Oliver!(by Carol Reed) and Galaxy Express 999(by Rintaro).
— That’s why I started working on this game.
I’ll leave the stories about the solemn old men and hot stylish guys to someone else(even though there’s way more demand for that stuff), and go ahead with this."

>>380598468
not to mention the fact that he hired Nomura to make the design.

Yeah, this is the first time Takahashi has finally admitted he is done with his vision. He's finally admitted he is past his prime, and looking into retirement.

The hope is that someone in the company has inherited his will, talent, and vision. But XC2 doesn't give any hints toward that.

>>380598673
It's still a different focus from previous games, also does this mean the game will have a more childish plot?

I doubt it, it is Takahashi that we're talking about. However he's made it pretty obvious he wants to make an endearing story over a serious story this time.

Takahashi:
>“A young adult story with a taste of boy-meets-girl. Lately it feels like all I’ve been doing are games full of devastation, like where your hometown burns down at the start, or the spaceship you’re riding crashes(oh wait, that is all I ever do). Sometimes I just wanna try something different!

>>380598978
X, but it's alright because the world in X is so fucking good I'll take a slightly worse-looking one no problem. Also graphical polish is one of the last few things done in Nintendo games.

I mean in terms of development.

>>380599250

are you saying the game will be better looking when it get released ?

>>380598978
I still am one of those that thinks color can do a lot more than graphical detail if used well. Specially when you want to show a world that is alive. And XC2 shows that compared to XCX. Shows that maybe Monolith Soft is starting to learn something from Nintendo's level design which is perfectly fine by me.

>>380599413
Yeah. Xenoblade and X also went through this if you look at trailers.

>>380599789
"A young adult story with a taste of boy-meets-girl" can perfectly describe Xenogears too.

This is an actual sequel right? Even if they wont confirm it, using the same name and all. Im still salty about no XCX2.

I really didn't understand how to do the side quests. Did they only appear during certain times of the day or what?

>>380599935
difference was that wasn't entirely the focus of Xenogears, along Fei and Elly there were others things going on. Could be like Xenogears again by going a Blade has a Zohar symbol on it or it's just a reference like the past few games

>>380599220
It seems to me that he feels like all that devastation felt forced and lacked any actual meaning.
The way he is speaking it seems he now wants to make an actual romantic tragedy that rivals the classics. I don't know if he can do that, but I am certainly expecting great things.

>>380599935
It can if you ignore virtually everything that happens in the story and focus on the 5 minutes where Fei meets Elly in the forest.

>“It’s a completely different world, with completely new characters. It’s a different game. The way I see it, I feel as though Xenoblade 1 and 2 are connected and linked in the sense that they’re linear and story-driven games, whereas Xenoblade Chronicles X was more focused on open world and exploration, and maybe an online aspect. I feel like I’d like to continue to create games separating those two aspects out.”

No story connection and Monolith wants to keep developing the styles of Blade and X separately, so X2 is a definite possibility.

>>380600134
How did you know that'll be the entire focus in XC2 then?

>>380600134

>with a TASTE of boy-meets-girl
>TASTE
No where does he say that's the entire focus on the story.
Xenogears was literally a young adult story with a taste of boy-meets girl. Takahashi says Xenoblade 2 is going to be a young adult story with a taste of boy-meets-girl.
How hard is this to grasp?

>>380600145
>The way he is speaking it seems he now wants to make an actual romantic tragedy that rivals the classics
The few times Takahashi's focused on romance in the past he did really fucking well.

>>380600087
Xenoblade side quests are fucking shit, for being your first RPG it's not your fault

>>380600279
I always assumed they would tie the games together eventually.


I liked XCX's story, on the premise that it would get a sequel or two..

>>380600389
>Xenogears was literally a young adult story with a taste of boy-meets girl

But it wasn't you fucking imbecile, it as a dark story with schizophrenia, cannibalism, human experimentation and suffering set in a dystopian future.

It had a nuclear-holocaust segment with humanity dying out because of infertility.

>>380600279
>I feel like I’d like to continue to create games separating those two aspects out.”

I hope this means you can ignore the garbage that X2 is shaping up to be and just skip to XcX2 (the real Xeno story)

I actually enjoyed X more than Blade overall so that's great news for me. I do think that Blade had better highs though. I just found exploring Mira incredibly fun, zero gravity jumping and all.

If they do a sequel to X, it needs to be an actual sequel and address the post credit scene.

>>380600389
>The few times Takahashi's focused on romance in the past he did really fucking well.
Yeah that's why I am hopeful. Some here are already crying that he isn't doing a full edge story with even more devastation but tragedy is almost always tied with romance. Heck the best examples of romances that some know are also the best examples of tragedies. People need to get off their entitled edgy horse and learn that a dark story can still exist even with some romance in between. Heck, sometimes the romance can be the whole drive of a tragedy or complete apocalypse.

How so? It was one of the more complex JRPGs I had first picked up, and so I didn't understand the gem system at all when I first picked it up. Other than that the game is pretty easy to follow. Also, IGNORE THE SIDE QUESTS. Pick them up so that you can get the exp if you happen to complete it, but don't go out of your way to do them.

Stupid, pointless comparison with random pictures of random locations and shit quality.

But Xenoblade 2 looks a lot better because it actually has colors. The only way to make X look good is post-processing (which you see in all the shill picture collections).

Xenoblade 2 also seems to be more interactive and even more vertical and handcrafted, in case people don't know. Even collectables aren't as random anymore.

But that's wrong you fucking cretin

YA stories are normally tackle the issues the reader themself faces in their teens, first love, being popular, having to become independent etc.

Gears is a story of a Shitzophrenic messiah who murders his surrogate family then has to go and kill "God" while Freud and Jung are having sex in the background on a bed covered in pages from the Gnostic bible.

>>380601307
>it's improving the open world
It's not purely due to not being seamless, like Xenoblade 1. You can argue it's a conceptually more interesting world, but not that it's better design-wise.

>>380601423
Where the fuck are you getting your definitions from?

>>380601456
If you need the game to hold your hand of course, X world fitted design wise since the focus was an open world RPG of being stranded in a different planet.
Don't talk about your opinions as fact

Sad the effect Amazon Japan reviews does to a person with a vision.

>>380601423
And that's all you took from the story? Holy shit man, its like you want a story that is edgy for the sake of being edgy. And I guess that's exactly what Takahashi meant when he said that his games are just full of devastation that he can't find much meaning in it.
Just look at the first Xenoblade Chronicles, it's not even that dark and it was great.

This is common knowledge.

"Catcher in the Rye" and "Lord of Flies" are the defining YA books of the past 50 years.

YA fiction is about puberty and growing up, none of which can be found in Gears

>>380601828
That is the story of Gears

And Gears is edgy, just look at Elly her backstory is that she OD on drugs and murdered her classmates with her Aether powers, Billy was a child prostitute, Rico was a sub-human Solarian experiment, Citan feeds you human flesh, Ramses was an aborted fetus that crawled out of the dumpster (literally) and so on and so forth

I won't even go into Saga which is even more fucked up and dystopian

/lit/fag who's never played Xenogears here, what you're describing literally sounds like some shitty "I'm an angry 16 year old and I'm a mature adult"-tier grimdark youth novel.

>>380602283
Sure but there's a lot more to it than "hey man look at all this dark shit I WANT IT". I want dark shit too, but that's not everything in a game and whenever it is the main drive of a story, it more often than not makes it devoid of any meaning.
Xeno games are clearly not the case but Takahashi seems to want to focus on other aspects and unfold it from there. People here are whining because Takahashi doesn't want to FOCUS on those dark aspects, how is that a bad thing? I'd rather he focus on a main theme and then have those dark aspects as consequences of that main theme more than a necessity.

I won't debate how good of a story Gears is but it's not a YA novel, it's an epic.

Gears is the 5th story in this epic, the scope of the entire story takes place of thousands of years and cultures

>>380603105
>I won't debate how good of a story Gears is but it's not a YA novel, it's an epic.
Youth novel is not a genre, it's a demographic. There are epics aimed towards youth.

I don't know if Xenogears' story is bad or not since I've never played it, but everything you've described sounds like something some pretentious 16 year old who thinks he's mature would read.

The take this kills me every time. He sound's so lifeless, why would you put that line in a trailer? This is the first game where I NEED dual audio desu. But treehosue is stupid and thinks that if they dubbed it we better like their dub. Honestly, is their one example of a good treehouse/NOA dub?

>>380602470
You're not entirely wrong, but it's actually good. It's every genre of mecha anime and hard-sci-fi combined into one story.

I would call it the zenith of the classical JRPG. It exceeded the genre's limitations.

>>380595538
The way the treehouse dude talked made it sound like just english like he was sorry we listened to Japanese voices. I honestly feel like treehouse doesn't like overtly Japanese games sometimes.

That is an extremely reductionist take, but like you said, it's based on a flawed summary. In actuality, Xenogears is an 80-hour homage to JRPGs, mecha anime, and Arthur C Clarke.

It weaves all these concepts together quite seamlessly, has cool graphics, tons of change-ups to the gameplay and story, awesome anime-inspired characters, and is altogether fantastic.

>>380604245

Kindra from Treehouse has a Twitter complaining about Steve Banon from Trump's White House and retweets Tumblr memes about Trump Armageddon in 2017.

Is there something in the water that makes people who live in the West coast of the US into insufferable drama queen faggots? Not to harp on politics more, but I could have sworn the world was going to end this week after Trump pulled out of giving the world 100 billion dollars of free US taxpayer money into the Paris Agreement without Congressional debate or vote from the single branch of the US Government responsible for handling taxes and laws.

I'm not that anon you're accusing, but Kinda from Nintendo of America Treehouse is a gigantic crybaby off-stage.

How can we get dual audio ?
Is asking on twitter effective ?

>>380605418

>>380605418
If you would just take a single moment to look at things from an unbiased perspective, it's not all that difficult to imagine why people might be scared of Trump being president. This is Donald Trump we're talking about, who a decade ago was just the guy who said "You're fired" on TV. While Hillary would've been no better, for a lot of people, it's a bit like Donald Duck being elected president.

The irony of complaining about someone else being a drama queen is not lost on me, either. While she might be exaggerating the direness of the situation, that doesn't absolve you from being overly melodramatic because you think Treehouse is going to put burqas on every female character.

It's pretty likely that the game will come with the dual audio option out of the box, the game already comes with all the audio files from all regions since it's region free and you can change the region at any time with the same cartridge.

The only evidence for not having dual is actually not well interpreted: >>380595409 It's a common practice for games that are not dubbed or not translated to all the languages in a specific territory to communicate so, so this only means the game has only a Japanese and English dub, but is not dubbed to other languages, only translated.

Plenty of other consoles are similarly undocumented. The difference is that the cross-section of serious Xbox fans and hardcore software devs is very small.

In contrast, the overlap between coders and weebs or classic computer fans is very large. Hence, quality Nintendo/Sony/computer emulators.

To be fair, bad voice acting isn't necessarily the fault of the voice actor. Even a great VA can do shit work if the voice director doesn't have a fucking clue what they're doing and does dumb shit like only doing one take, demanding lines be read certain ways, or thinking one of the shitty takes sounds better than a good take. That's not to say it's NEVER the VA's fault but if that's the case, it also falls on the one who made the decision to hire them.

Only on /v/
Let's start with the fact that it's not a genre but a target demographic

>>380617635
official, it's an independent story, similar to XCX
but since XCX had to many "eastereggs" of XC, I doubt that they aren't connected somehow
my theory is, that XCX plays many "centurys" after XC, and Mira is that planed where Shulk and his pals lived at the end, I also think Shulk is the "One" always mentioned by Luxaar. Despite the fact that Shulk wished for a world without gods, he is technically the god of the world what he created at the end.
In case of XC2, I guess it could be either play between XC and XCX, or it could be also somehow a prequel of XC, cause Zanza said at one point in the game, that he has created many universes before, even tough the ending makes it look, he only created one with Meyneth

Regardless, both games have pretty great soundtracks, even though X is a bit weaker overall. Why does it always have to be a flamewar? Why can't people enjoy the good aspects of both games?

>>380632379

Because not only is her actual design unappealing (don't need to stare at the ass of someone with the face of a 12 year old) but the sword design is kind of ugly and she probably won't be the best weapon end game. Also didn't treehouse replace Rex's blade?

The way XCX works is it streams data from both the disc and the data packs from the internal SD card. If you download all the data packs it fills more than half the memory of the largest model Wii U, half that data is audio files. Seriously they didn't have the space.

If you want there is a fan undub version but since you can't play it with data packs installed while streaming gamedata off the disc the loadtimes and data streaming is far worse. It's kinda amazing XCX even runs on the Wii U at all.
