Moe has been 'in' since the 1960s. They just didn't coin a term for it until the late 90s. And if anything, you're seeing a resurgence of dark fantasy and realism in anime right now.

10 years have passed since Xenoblade Chronicles started development and now. Lots of personnel changes happened at Monolith Soft, including which character designer was chosen for the new game.

Xenoblade 1 had a lot of the Chrono Cross and Xenosaga crew (Yasuyuki Honne, Norihiro Takami, etc). Their names don't show up on anything past Xenoblade X, so they must have either left the company or were moved onto helping with Breath of the Wild?

Xenoblade 2 seems to have a mostly new crew of younger devs and artists. The main character designer (responsible for the style) is Masatsugu Saito, but he's really versatile and capable of more "conventional" looking anime art (like pic related, which he did the concept art and character designs for)
>>
>>381053293
Of course we know that moe has been around for a long time; but its way more popular than it has been. So thats why this game is in that style. Its not a dispute of when it was originated, but rather if its in trend (which it is)

Okay sure but you know what I meant. Compared to say, Tezuka and Tatsunoko stuff, moe wasn't as huge in the market. I'm not one of those idiots who thinks any anime from before 2000 is some amazing beautifully animated masterpiece but you can't deny that generally there were more distinct artstyles before moe became extremely popular in the mid to late 2000's.

The plot ties into Xenoblade Chronicles and Tales of Symphonia. That's the Yggdrasil Tree in the background and the protagonist is Lloyd Irving's son

This isn't a rare thing in Japan. A lot of artists there get their start in art/manga/etc drawing hentai as it's easy-ish money compared to trying to break into the industry elsewhere. If/Once they draw attention/fans then they can start to branch out.

I would argue moe was at its peak between 1998 and 2008.

>>381053712

>Compared to say, Tezuka and Tatsunoko stuff, moe wasn't as huge in the market.
What makes you say that? The shows with cute characters were the most popular in the 1960s and 70s. And even in the 80s and 90s, stuff like Urusei Yatsura, Ranma, Sailor Moon, Ah! Megami sama and etc were topping the charts. All of which feature a character or multiple characters you could classify as 'moe'.

K-On didn't invent moe. It just exacerbated it. And even then, you can claim K-On came from previous KyoAni works. Which in turn came from stuff like Love Hina and Mahoromatic. Which in turn came from Azumanga Daioh CardCaptor Sakura...etc.

It's funny how moe has been 'killing anime' for two decades now and anime still isn't dead. In fact, its making more profit now than it did back in the 80s and 90s.

Yes. 8 episodes or pure boredom dialogue leading up to an okay ending.

Fun fact, the artist for Chrono Cross also worked on Escaflowne. And he also did the designs for Salotorobo. But if you looked at each of those works, none of them look similar. He changes his style each time.

>>381063350
Eh, at the moment, I'm thinking each Titan will probably be about the same size as a zone in X.

They did mention they wanted to make it so that there's no loading between areas, but they probably only meant within each Titan. It'd be a bit too incredible if there were absolutely no loading when crossing Titans.

>>381063743
I hope you actually get to "explore" the titans instead of just running around each area on it. I want to platform my way up to the titans head instead of taking a preset path to it.

Main character looks like a generic harem anime MC. He's got the short brown spiky hair, feminine face and unfitting voice. Only thing unique about him is his fucking ridiculous diving suit-esque outfit. What were they trying to accomplish making him look like this?

You should just emulate it in 1080p. That said, I played and moderately enjoyed the 3DS version for what it was after having already played it on Wii. There's no substitute for Dolphin, though.

I don't remember the gameplay showing any jumping. There wasn't even any sign of sprinting. Even if XB2 isn't as open as X the increased run speed and jump should come back. The slower restricted movement of the first XB makes it hard to go back to it since X did movement so fucking well.

I didn't watch any footage so I'm just going off of your and others' summaries. Supposedly the players were just avoiding jumping and Pyra's AI was shown jumping. I'm finding it hard to believe they'd remove a basic feature XC1 had.

Sprinting and jumping all over Mira was the fucking best. I do have to admit that the sprinting/jumping felt slippery right after coming back from BOTW, but the weird physics just adds to it.
>>
>>381064880
>I fucking hope so. I absolutely loved that X actually let me climb the damned mountains. X was the funnest platform game I've played in a while.
I have some fear about that in X2 honestly. Character didn't jump during gameplay once. Map looked like it will have very closed, while big, location. Also speed of movement and stff
I think that nothing movement wise from X will not be carried over

>>381065240
We're back to relatively normal jump heights, so most likely there's no more mountain goating.

Weebs like simple colors, clusterfuck nonsense, moeshit faces, improbably-big tits and even-bigger swords. The whole animu industry going down in quality and higher in emotional exploitation, and Ninty decided it's a good idea to cash in on it while they still can.

It's less effort too so probably cost-effective on their artist-choices as well.

Because I'm a JRPG babby who mostly just plays FF. First runthrough I did pure Shulk-Reyn-Sharla through the entire game, almost never changing. Only on my second did I actually take the time to try out the different characters.

My final party was Fiora-Shulk-Dunban. I made Fiora into a tank with absurdly high speed so she never got hit

Colour composition is nice. I like the red/silver because it reflects the Monado and glancing at it, it could be mistaken for a pretty reasonable outfit, but the moment you take more than a second to look at it, it becomes obvious that the whole design is a clusterfuck. He's wearing two set of pants for fuck's sake. TWO PANTS. One of which sticks out from under his shorts. And don't even try to comprehend the belts and buttons. Jesus Christ. If this was done in a more typical, clean, modern anime style it would be up there with shit like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and A2.

The main storyline is polarizing, but the side quests and exploration are well worth finishing the game for. A lot of people really enjoy post-game of taking down tyrants (never got into it myself because I suck at the combat system), so that's also worth checking out.

Flying becomes accessible after Chapter 9. Don't rush it though because ground exploration feels a lot more satisfying.

Yeah. I say finish it. The main story is alright enough cliffhanger aside and I think the final chapters are pretty fun. The side quests are also great and a lot of the post game is too except the farming for augments/equipment to better take on superboss tyrants. The superbosses themselves are a lot of fun though.
To level up faster get a lv 30 mech like the Amdusias and take on high level enemies about the size of your mech or smaller (the larger ones will wreck your shit). When you get a level 50 mech you can just farm the Joker tyrant to level up everything stupidly fast. Flying comes after chapter 9.

Tales character design is all over the place. You got shit like Asbel and Richard from Graces, but in the same game you have Malik, who look pretty good besides that weird emblem on his back.
Then you got this fly motherfucker in Xillia. Berseria went full Kingdom Hearts betls-and-zippers edgelord tier with the MC, but at the same time, Magilou looks alright. I don't even know anymore.
I just wish we would get a throwback game like Phantasia, where all characters are designed like Cress. Simple and practical.

What would food be used for? Augments seem to have boosts and resistances covered, unless they take away regenerating health and automatic status recovery post-battle. Mid-battle health recovery through items feels weird in Xenoblade.

A mixture of the airship from Bravely Default and the upgrading of Colony 6 and New LA would make me come. I don't think it's likely to happen, but airships alone are pretty neat.

VC would be a much better game if the scoring system went by kill point system increasing the reward for the progressively harder / riskier targets (for risk vs reward judgement player choice gameplay), and LEAST dmg taken to the most amount of friendly units.

least amount of turns taken scoring is utter fucking garbage and retarded, relying on RNG to get alicia to the flag ASAP

Really want a nice RPG for the Switch. But this game honestly looks shit. The world looks small and less detailed than X. The character art is garbage. The story looks to be like moe waifu pandering trash. Gameplay was extremely boring.

We can already assume that it's not going to be like X and it will be a more linear story driven game so I think it's safe to assume that the world is going to be smaller and less detailed.

If exploration isn't the driven force of the game then developers aren't going to be incentivized to put as much care into that as they are the main story/characters because it could be time wasted on stuff that most players won't ever see.

I'm sure it'll be fine though, the first Xenoblade was great but you can't really compare the world of that to an open world game like X in terms of scope and detail.

How do you even come to this conclusion? I was merely pointing out the character models in Xenoblade were actually quite the step down in visual fidelity compared to those used in Xenosaga III. I made no judgement on the overall quality of the games nor did I "pretend a movie trilogy is good" by merely posting two pictures comparing the character faces from the two games.

I mean I even gave you the benefit of the doubt, I thought maybe he actually does think the other model is better, maybe he as good reasons and he just needs the opportunity to voice them and offered you a chance to expound on your opinion but you only used it to petulantly hurl insults. if you're not just baiting you're doing a good job hiding that fact.

Believe it or not, but not everyone likes what you like. To be honest though, I like some mecha. I just don't like it when the mecha is a soulless machine driven by a pilot (Gundam).

>>381076864

The main thing I hear from people is that it is a game that does free roaming correctly. Does it have a lot of things to find and places to explore? Or is it just 'go out into a field and kill this monster because an NPC told you to'? If its the former, I'll definitely play it.

What I'm basically asking is, is it more like Zelda Breath of the Wild or Zelda Twilight Princess.

Reasons to censor a game or defend censoring a game.
>I'm a sexually backwards, American fucktard who would have a ton of disgusting, lewd sex if I could, but am more than willing to look down on foreign cultures that enjoy immodest outfits (even if my own culture is literally ground zero for the most vile of modern depravity)
>I'm a corporate vagina who feels the need to inject my politics into every aspect of my life, including my work. I would probably not have my job in a sane world.
>I have double digit iq and feel the need to post the same tired console wars retardation in every thread.

Reasons to not censor a game or ask for an uncensored game.
>The developers, artists, voice actors, and musicians are the creative minds from which the game doth flow. They get paid to do this, rather than localizing, because they are good at their job and they are good at creating. Censorship puts a filter between those minds and what you end up buying and experiencing.
>If the localizer is removing content or changing character designs, it makes the product worse in an objective way almost every fucking time. Arbitrary changes to female outfits come to mind. Female fashion that isn't designed for old women, prudes, or ham beasts has always tried to bare and accentuate the different aspects of the female body, because the female body is a thing that looks good (typically). If a professional concept artist is leaving something bare, it is for the sake of the design's aesthetic, and covering that mars the design's beauty or trashes it outright.
>It introduces media that is less ass backwards about these topics (sex) to a country that is really fucking ass backwards about it on both sides of the aisle (America), hopefully effecting some sort of change. Japanese media tends to be very positive about sex, mainly in that the human body is not, on its own, a dirty thing in presentation.
>>
>>381052324

>Reasons to censor a game or defend censoring a game.
There's never a reason. If you can't play a game because it has a nude scene or you don't like that there's a depiction of God in it, then don't play that game. But altering the story for everyone just because a few people won't like it is the worst thing a localization can do. The same as altering a book or movie.

As a result, you don't need to justify or even come up for reasons for the opposite.
>>
>>381078414

>I'm a sexually backwards, American fucktard

What does that have to do with anything I just said? If a game is going to get a Teen rating instead of E, then just give it the Teen rating. Don't cut out stuff to get it down to an E rating.

Your argument also makes no sense because recently Japan has been cracking down on their ratings even worse than America does. Censoring some stuff in Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS for example.

>I'm talking about this form of censoring explicitly, which happens because Americans have a life-threatening allergy to pencil boobies
No, they just have this view that animation is only for kids. And as a result, animation (or video games with an anime aethstetic) can't have any content that a 5 year old can't be exposed to. But note, this is how ratings boards and people in the media think. Not th public at large. People love to blame the soccer mom who goes out and pickets against GTA. But the average mom is buying a violent game for their kid to shut them up. And only recognizes when a game is mature when she sees a report about it on the news.

And please don't claim Europe is different. European countries are the ones cracking down on hentai and loli porn right now. Not America.

European translator probably decided to change it because they thought one of the EU countries would dislike sexual references. Or it needed to confirm to a lower rating.

How does a change not affect the game? The very nature of a 'change' is it has an effect on something.

It's also entirely arbitrary what constitutes a good, bad or neutral change. The better choice would be not to change it at all. Of course some things like translation has to be changed since you cannot translate Japanese to English perfectly. But other shit like removing armor or changing names or changing the backstory for a character? That's just not acceptable no matter how you want to justify it. The only reason people do justify it is because they played the changed version first and don't know or don't care about the original. Which is actually going to cause a ton of problems with Final Fantasy VII Remake. Since so much of the stuff people find 'endearing' like "Let's mosey" is going to be changed with a more accurate translation. But if it had been translated correctly the first time, then people wouldn't be getting out their pitchforks.

Ok I was wrong to say that it doesn't affect the game at all and I agree that shitty changes are indeed shitty (FE support conversation). What I have a problem with is when people get worked up over every single change and expect nothing to be changed at all from conception to release. Alot of the censorship folks point to every single change made during localization and shout BAD!!! and don't take the context of why it was changed into consideration.

>>
>>381083357

I don't like some of them. But changing Pokemon names which are puns are understandable. This is one of those rare times that you couldn't make a straight translation. Though it's confusing why they ignored this for some Pokemon. Pikachu is still the same name, despite being a Japanese play on words.

I mostly just see the name changes as a missed opportunity. Gradually over time, each Pokemon game started to incorperate a little more anime and Japanese references in. Until now, we have Pokemon games blatantly using Japanese puns and meme jokes. So having a character named Kasumi or Haruka wouldn't have been strange in Pokemon Sun/Moon, but apparently was too extreme back in Ruby/Sapphire. Pokemon as a series, with its millions of sales and unprecedented influence, could have been the leader in opening up both anime and Japanese culture to the west. But instead it waited until other series did it first and rode on their popularity.

>>381084169

Fair enough. But at the same time, I see endless posts from people who defend any change as not only being a good thing, but making the product better. Which makes me want to barf. Especially in series like Dragon Quest or Fire Emblem. And companies continue to make these dumb changes because the public doesn't voice objection to them.

What are they quoting? It sounds vaguely familiar.

Also, we literally know nothing about Pyra or the plot yet. How are they jumping to conclusion that she's a shit character based solely on her design? Bitch about the outfit all you want, but there's plenty of hypersexualized characters that are still well developed (Bayonetta, Kaine, etc.).

I'm pretty sure they said them wanting to do a narrative-focused game is the reason they called it Xenoblade 2, instead of something like Xenoblade X2. Nothing we've seen so far implies that it's actually picking up from where Xenoblade left off, or even takes place in the same world. It's just *similar*, kinda like Final Fantasies.

>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.
So it's confirmed that this story won't start with a town getting destroyed and that Rex and Pyra are OTP.
Also with Galaxy Express 999, that just means Pyra has a human body stashed somewhere. Probably in Elysium and that's why people don't want her to get there.

Well, I would assume they wouldn't really do another XCX with that kind of title, and I would expect a more direct sequel this time. Of course I haven't seen any official confirmation, but why would you call your game Xenoblade Chronicles 2 if you won't make it a direct sequel? Xenoblade Chronicles X's title doesn't imply explicitly that it's a direct sequel so that's not a counter point if you are thinking about that.

The reason why people don't like a generic anime style in video games, is because in anime it's the most common "who gives a shit" artstyle.
Which means that the devs wanted a generic uninspired anime look on purpose. For no reason.

Nintendo continuing their faggy anime pride parade bullshit. We get endless Fire Emblems even though they sell like dog shit, endless anime swordsmen in Smash Bros, Samus is basically 'bad ass ninja' complete with 'cinematic' melee kills in the 2 remake and now Xenoblade is officially a moe game. Fucking great, really glad I bought a Switch.
