>>386995941
You wut? Sawano is the definition of generic, he does literally every clusterfuck shonen action anime from Guilty Crown to KISAMA TrainZombie Sluts.
Mitsuda is a legendary game composer who worked on Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Chrono Scross and Soul Sacrifice all of which have great OSTs not to mention the first Xenoblade which has a massively good OST.

Not to mention Xenoblade, because he made a single track for it?

>>386996587
Mitsuda only did the epilogue song in XC. According to his twitter, each musician did about 1/4 or 1/5 of the soundtrack meaning ACE+ has a bigger role, Mitsuda has a far bigger role, and Kyota has a smaller role

Question /v/

Why do vidya companies invest so much on music?

Not even the film industry do this

>>387003839
thanks

>>387003851
They want to distract the braindead consumer as much as possible from the """"""((((gameplay)))))"""""""

>>386995941
Fuck off, ACES+ is by far the best of the bunch

>>387003565
>>387003563

>>386996587
>>387003992

>>386990757
Impressive

>>387003958
Nice implication faggot

>>387004168
thank you

I literally see no hype for this shit and it's supposed to release in a few montths. Zelda, Splatoon2 and the new mario are gonna be the defining hits for the switch this year.

>>387004214
Is that you Mitsuda

>>387003851
Music is important

>>387004267
It's weird how niche jrpgs don't cater to Chads and Eric, 8 (fucking awful at Splatoon, won't even leave the goddamn spawn).
Maybe if they spent 10 years developing it and put hundreds of millions into marketing it would sell a bit more to casuals.

>>387003851
Because you're going to be playing it for hours and hours.
Western vidya is only 6 hours at the most so they just slap the most forgettable movie soundtrack onto it as possible. Either that or licensing someones playlist.

>>387004560
Shit like Nier and Persona 5 had way more hype though. Heck even chronicles was more anticipated than this.

>>387004703
Can't be out her pretending most japs games have good tracks.

DQ and Tales are infamous for having forgettable soundtracks and those are long running series.

>>387003851
It's an rpg so they need good music. Others genres do it for immersion or because you need to listen to something good and not silence while playing it.

>>387003851
>Why do vidya companies invest so much on music?

Since depending on the game and more so with rpg/open world games one will probably spend a decent amount of time listening to whatever it is they are playing.

So BGM type tunes become important since listening to the weak ass shitty tunes can easily become grating and take away heavily from the experience.
>Not even the film industry do this
and for that just like i mentioned above BGM will be heard a lot more than in a movie which it will just be something that only plays for a small short while and never for any really extended amount of time.

So unless someone is going to make like a new fantasia type thing then the amount of time some sort of sound or music will be heard by the viewer is borderline nothing compared to a long ass rpg.
That as well as the devs probably just indulging themselves a tad as well.

>>387003851
music is the second most important component of a game next to gameplay, not many companies have caught onto this and put all resources into grafix. Monolith soft is not one of those companies

>>387004858
lets not pretend anyone holds Tales on a pedestal

>>387004858
>Forgettable tracks.
>Long running series.
I mean, shouldn't it be obvious? Even Uematsu only lasted 9 main line games before he had to start getting helped and then he went freelance shortly after.

>>387005468
I mean i don't care, i see it as garbage as DQ but the point is those are long running series and have terrible tracks nobody cares about.

>>387005675
DQ has good music though, nothing on the ranks of Xenoblade but still

>>386992837
insecure cuck spotted

>>387005671
How does it work for SMT or FF which have many games with tracks people enjoy?

>>387005768
Nah it don't, shit is incredibly generic and doesn't stick to you. A game series that prints money and they still put no budget to it.

>>387006704
Judging from yhe fact he's a sky diver and it has wings, it most likely helps him find stuff under the clouds

>>387006784
Yeah. I found a picture that kind of looks like it. A squirrel with a horn and there's supposed to be a Father Tree in the game. Sounds about right.

>>386992837
BotW? The music is by far worst in the series. It sounds like ambient Twilight Princess with every instrument replaced electronically. Beaten the game twice now and there's not a single song that I can really think of. Even with ambiance, that's bad.

>Nintendo is winning so fucking hard even dualshockers is devoting half of their gaming news coverage to them

>>387007130
That would make sense. It'd be nice if it at some point during the game it could transform into a giant beast at will so we could fly places.

>>386995941
Sawano single-handedly ruined X, the censorship was just shit icing on the turd cake. Tracks like this have already easily outdone anything X had to offer. Xenoblade will finally be Xenoblade again.

>>387007520
Well if it is ratatoskr like >>387006784
Said, probably not, But it would be cool if there was an eagle or dragon mount like in the world tree mythology

>>387003851
people forget how young the video game industry is sometimes. Back when 8 and 16-bit games were mainstream, developers used music to help portray the emotions of the characters, settings and story. Film needed to do this to in some extent back when their industry was young.

I have to say, what little has been released of the OST so far already feels superior to the original Xenoblade, especially in terms of battle themes.

>Inb4 "neither are good because I say so"

>>387008778
I gotta say I prefer confronting the enemy over action temp, but I prefer action battle over YWKON

>>387007348
BotW has great music in towns and such though. It's just that you spend the vast majority of the time in places where there's only ambient sounds, so there's not really any music that becomes really recognisable. Doesn't mean stuff like the music in Hateno Village or Rito Village isnt great.

>>387008778
I never thought you will know out names or engage the enemy would ever be topped, but monolith proved me dead wrong.

And I love it.

Just play the game in Japanese, French, Spanish. Anything that isn't your own language so it doesn't sound horrible.

>>387004214
Mitsuda get out of 4chan

>>387009689
The game doesn't have a BotW-levels budget, it won't have any other dub than English and Japanese, and maybe not even have dual audio to save space, like X.

>>387004214

Hey Mitsuda, >>387009364 was revenge or it was unconscious?

>>387009910
Then we shall hope that the Japanese version has English subtitles.

>>387008778
Sounds very Falcomesque. Very good.

Let's hope they put that much manpower into the gameplay. I hope it turns out good.

What happened to those videos explaining the mechanics and shit

>>387011939
XC2 probably won't have a trillion mechanics so they won't make vids on them

>>387012103
But they changed a lot of stuff, so videos like the ones XCX got would be good.
There's still a fuckload we don't know about the game.

>>387011939
>What happened to those videos explaining the mechanics and shit
It gives mix reception on the gameplay. He kills enemies too fast to show off mechanics or the enemy takes too long and it makes the game look like it drags out the combat.

>>387012370
No, I mean like the ones we had for XCX last year
It was like half an hour each, going in depth with the mechanics and new features
We got a new video every month until release for four months

They are text heavy stories, but there is great characterization and worldbuilding in them

Liberl - Bracers
Erebonia- Class VII pseudo bracers
Crossbell- Special police unit acting as bracers and intermediaries


The high school setting only acts as a hub, and its only for one game anyways. All of the Kiseki games happen in the universe rougly within the same timeline, in different countries.

I'm quite excited for this blade system actually. First we are getting a shitload of options like XCX and second it looks like there is some unique aspect from party members like XC. In XCX party members played almost the exact same way and only had 2 artes that made them stand out from each other

>>387015652
Yeah, I'm hoping for a compromise between XC and X's party members. There were some fun builds in XC like Seven's "double attack up + attack speed up + that one Dunban passive that turns double attacks into crits + faster auto-attack aura = Blender", but I liked being able to mix and match weapons in X and a lot of it's different weapon types (raygun + knife for life).

But character designs shouldn't really matter unless they follow the uncanny valley. People ripped on new FF titles' designs when they came out. It's what makes Japan, Japan.

>>387020315
XS3's models were great for their time

>>387020371
I agree, but I don't know what with Monolith's obsession over chibi designs.

>>387019635
>they're not going to waste time and effort on a character's model/stats only to kill them off within the first 30 minutes.
They did pretty much exactly that, its not like she comes back as she was in anyway but voice & "character."

>>387020005

What? Are you gunna get triggered if I say animes?

Gameplay wise my only issue is it seem you need to buildup to use abilities. Which just seem dumb since in the E3 showing the guy was pretty much killing most enemies before the abilities could be used. And the combo system seem to only really be good against bosses so they are pointless 99%of the time.

>>387021093
Let me put it this way then.
You're calling the person chosen by electoral college the guy who won by popular vote.

>>387021126
>Gameplay wise my only issue is it seem you need to buildup to use abilities.

I'm ok with it since cooldowns are gone

>>387021126
Or we could get haste and do combos each second.

>>387021206
Not a good analogy.
You can have some sort of an idea if someone says, this character has a "moe" or "chibi" face. Not be specific, but you have a general idea. Would you really go great lengths to someone in public who said the same thing? I would just know by assuming he meant something different.

>>386991543
They really need to give that game a PS4 port

>>387021365
>this character has a "moe" or "chibi" face
You could have just said "I have no idea of what I'm talking about" and the discussion would have ended there.

>>387020940
the faces are moe not chibi

>>386990757
It's funny because this game will be shit anyway.

>>387021223
Yeah but it feels like most of the time fighting you are just standing still waiting for it to build up since the buildup goes faster when you are not moving.
>>387021271
Guess we will see if that will work.

>>387021490
Moe is subjective. The artstyle towards moe is always changing. Moe existed in the 80's and looks vastly different compared to now. The term moe has no real basis on its description. Really, look it up. It means fuck all.

>>387021741
"moe" is what they used to describe the arstyle. Chibi is shit you see in world of final fantasy and golden sun overworld sprites, not humanly proportioned characters

>>387021621
Xenoblade is as grand as it gets.

>>387021785
It's all art, I don't understand why you guys have a raging Japanese ochinchin over this. If I say "chibi" face, you all go apeshit and say "B-but CHIBI means proportions!". Holy fk, I'm just going to get off 4chan, this is so stupid.

I did say I made a mistake. I'm just talking about, when someone posts and makes a mistake, which you clearly knew what he meant, then just assume you know what he means and leave it as it is. I clearly said I made a mistake and I clearly said I meant "chibi face". I don't know if you, for an example, call anime chibi characters with the most realistic faces "chibi". To me it doesn't, to you it might. But I'm glad 4chan is still full of young 20's with superiority complexes.

>>387022428
>a few levels

That's a lot in the Xenoblade system, at least it was in the first game, also they likely gave you optimal gear.

>>387022307
That doesn't really help. Since you are still standing still most of the battles until you can use the abilities. Instead of having them useable right away to put on the debuffs to make fights go faster. And in both Xenoblade and X you are able to move around for positioning without the issue of stopping you abilities from activating.

I don't like half of "action (temp)", the violin seems off here and sounds meh while the drum+ rythmic guitar is not my thing. It gets better 1:00 in, and I can imagine it growing on me, but that won't be instant love.

Sounds a bit like placeholder music to me and a bit cliche. If those tracks are reprensentative of the soundtrack, it will remain in Shimomura's shadow.

>>387027016
Yoko Shimomura did like 10 tracks in the first game, that soundtrack was ACE+ and, above all, Kiyota.

Piano+ violin is always the way to go for emotional soundtrack hence why Shimomura was important. Here i get the impression of hearing Bravely Default soundtrack on steroids, which is not a good thing.

Yeah that's hit and miss for me too, but I never expect an entire soundtrack to be amazing, just for it to have a great percentage of really good themes. The first XB didn't have 100% great tracks either. I think with the sheer volume and talent working on this one, we'll have a good chance of having one of the best JRPG soundtracks released this decade.

Just getting into JRPG's, just finished Persona 3/4 and Trails series.

Looking for some others, is it worth playing Xenoblade on a Wii emulator?

Any other recommendations aside from ones I mentioned?

>>387028558
XC has a pretty large soundtrack. wonder what the largest one is though. (repeats don't count)

>>387028683
Mainline SMT like Nocturne, Mario RPGs, and Soulsborne

The artstlye just puts me off, it's unbelievably ugly and generic. Xenoblade Chronicles had such an appealing artstyle, this is just too much of a downgrade for me to handle.

>>387028683
ys VIII is coming out soon. really liked it. radiant historia, mother 3 and arc the lad are also good, along with chrono trigger/cross. avoid FF. they're all trash.

>>387028478
I always try and bring her up when people are talking Xenoblade soundtracks. I also love her remix of KIU in Smash 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V90amExcU2E

The best part is that the voice in all her tracks is herself, so she pulls double-duty on composing and singing.

>>387028642
I keep thinking that Legend of Mana was her greatest achievement and that she keeps coming back to it (just like she did with FFXV).
On the other hand, Legend of Mana has one of my favorite soundtracks of all game. I'm conflicted about it.

>>386990757

>>387021785
Moe has never been used to describe an artstyle, save for in the west where manime/shonen shitters who don't understand what moe is started using it to lump everything that looks cute.

In Japan, moe literally just refers to the emotion of attraction or admiration you feel towards a fictional character, mostly female with exceptions. Because attraction/admiration is subjective, literally any character can be moe. Moe isn't an artstyle, a character archetype or a genre. Dragon Ball can be considered just as moe as K-On!

>>387031356

Not really. More mature maybe.
Maturity =! quality
Because in all honesty, if you're not a raging Saga or Gears faggot, Blade had a well-executed story.

>>387031454
In the same vein, the west also incorrectly defines fanservice as only related to titillation.

>>387031454
It's because anime is becoming more and more mainstream.
Nowadays in western countries an otaku is simply someone who watched at least 20 anime.

True.
But both games didn't execute their stories well, that is also a truth.

>>387031872
It's a stripped down casual friendly version of the Saga/Gears stories.

People who think this probably played it in Japanese. The characters in Japanese are all safe boring shonen anime archetypes and are painfully generic. For example, Reyn is an ultimate bro in the English version, while in Japanese he's just le epic gruff level-headed strongman. It's the main reason the dub is so widely praised. It's genuinely much, much better.

It ultimately is a pretty typical shonen story when you get down to it, it's just very well executed and masked by Bongs, so people either don't notice or don't mind.

>>387032956
I feel like part of that might be that Adam Howden seems to emphasize different aspects of the character compared to Shintaro Asanuma. Asanuma's take is higher and "whinier" as I've heard people call it. His Shulk sounds younger and softer, emphasizing his kindness and playing up the standard "boy coming of age" aspect of the story.

In contrast, Howden's Shulk is a bit deeper and speaks with a calmer and more reserved tone. You get a better sense of his maturity and intelligence in the British dub. Those are some of the aspects that make Shulk stand out as a JRPG protagonist and Howden really selling them probably made Shulk a bit more palatable to western audiences.

>>387025816

I hope they give Adam Howden a character to voice in 2, it would be cool if he remained a staple of the series.

Fuck off that looks shit

Rex and Pyra have different facial features, the eyes are totally different shape and colour

Best post in this thread. Howden delivered in spades. He's the reason Shulk is my fave JRPG protag.

I just want a break from sword and magic jrpgs

Reminder that you only liked Xenoblade because of the british actors.

You'll all complain about 2 being too cliche because they're actually reading the lines from the poorly written japanese translation instead of going all english theatre troop.

>Mitsuda still can't do a decent battle theme to save his life
Monolithsoft are getting desperate, first they change the artstyle to generic moeshit, now this.
If they can't make serious bank on this game, especially considering they have zero competition, they might as well disband completely.

*troupe

Does the 3ds version of Xenoblade Chronicles have any extra content?
Or should I just emulate? Can i play it on Wii U?

>>387035519
It's a bare bones port, it works but nothing special, unless you really want the portability play on emulator

>>387035519
It has a music player with the game's soundtrack and a bestiary, no actual new content. You can both emulate the Wii version on Dolphin or play the original Wii disc on the Wii U/download it digitally off the Wii U eShop.

>Dunban goes from 'hotblooded older brother' to 'hotblooded MATURE brother'
It really does make the characters more memorable

>>387035585
I think "gentlemanly" is a more apt description. English Dunban has an air of sophistication to him that the Japanese one lacks.

>>386990757
300 musicians
1 porn character designer.
Lmao

>>387035682
Original Dunban is motherfucking Vegeta and therefore vastly superior forever.

A good actor can still be miscast.

Why do people use porn artist as a con when most JRPG and visual novel character designers started out as hentai/doujin artists?

>the guys who did the official art and character designs for Xenosaga drew hentai
>some of the art for XB was designed by a hentai artist
>the armor designer for XBX was a hentai artist
>somehow a hentai artist doing the character designs in XB2 is a big deal

>>387036431
Only people who don't know anything about the industry make a big deal out of it desu
IIRC one of the character designers for megaman draws loli stuff

>you can't get a bikini for Melia in-game
This annoyed me.
