Sure, I would love more British voice acting. It gives the series an atmosphere of its own - its own identity.

The main cast was the big draw of Chronicles and the fantastic voice work played a big part of that. If brit bongs can keep the quality up while not having to fall on the same voices we use every time this side of the ocean Im all for it.

When you take away the British voice acting half the appeal of the first game disappears. It really is overrated at this point.

Pretty much. But X was alright so maybe they've learned something since then. Because the high point of X sure wasn't the voice acting.

British VAs are better than American ones in general. More games should hire from there instead of the same shitty sagaftra trash that they currently use for dubs.

>>388700027
I think it's just they are more expressive and not as serious.
In a way, the hammyness helps.

Is this still on track to be released this holiday season? Was it at gamescon? I haven't heard anything about it since E3.

>>388689715
Prefer them but I didn't mind X's dub

>>388700586
It's because British VAs come from the theatre. They're actors first and VAs second, so they know how to act. Most American VAs don't.

>>388700645
Yes it's still on for this year and they had a 50 minute stream at Gamescom where they showed a new area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_R1QP3prb4

>>388700027
It's because of the different acting cultures. US acting is all about becoming famous and being a star, every teenager with grand dreams flocks to LA to become the Next Big Thing. Because of that there are plenty of washed-up failures to choose from and since all the infrastructure is in LA you always see the same names.
In the UK people go to acting school where they're taught how to play Shakespeare, there's always someone putting on a MacBeth somehwere. And since there's not a steady stream of washed up failures all concentrated in one place you actually have to put effort into casting. They get theater actors, television actors, people that might not be top tier, but they have schooling and they care about their craft.

I just wish X's story wasn't so shit. The gameplay was GOTY material but the story and characters were so boring, with only a few exceptions, that the game feels crippled. You are supposed to do side missions to unlock story progression, but the side missions are actually better than the main story. Props to them for not making them a drag, but making the main plot the one you want to put off is not the solution.

>Muh Mira
This is the worst part. Every time an interesting plot point could be made, it's chalked up to the planet and left at that.

If they make X 2 I'll probably play it regardless, but if they work on the plot a little, or rather a lot, It'd be the second Xeno- game on my top 10 GOAT list.

I didn't mind X's story and I liked some of the social commentary and the "what if" situations with the Xeno races.
It also took too long to get the the interesting parts.

Also I dunno about the gameplay being amazing. Maybe I just didn't fucking get it after 300 hours of it and 200 hours of Xenoblade chronicles, but it just didn't jell with me.

Most American VAs come from theater. Theater isn't some exclusive or prestigious industry.

>>388703958
>Most American VAs come from theater
They don't though.
Shulk's VA played in shit like Le Cid, The Duchess of Malfi, and Romeo & Juliet. American VAs do pretty much nothing but voice acting roles, without doing any actual acting. British VAs only do their VA shit on the side and are actors first and foremost.

>>388703894
Which lines make him seem cocky?

>>388703894
So far in alot of ways he seems kind of the opposite of Shulk. Shulk was a reserved, shut-in nerd of an engineer. Rex comes off as louder, brasher, and he works a dirtier and more physical job scavenging for materials in the cloud sea. They've got opposite color schemes even.

>>388704498
Oh, and almost opposite English accents in the dub now that I think about it.
>>388704429

Only one of them is described as an actor, another one is a "theatre and voice actor". The rest are all voice actors who do barely anything but dubbing anime.

Thanks for proving my point, I guess?

>>388695904
I'd like for more devs to call upon british stage actors like NoE did for XC, and like From Software did for the Souls games. There's an entire wealth of untapped potential there and with actual formal training, there's literally no way to go wrong.

>>388704974

Most of those are barely even in vidya, what were you trying to prove here? Go worship your anime dubs on /a/ instead, I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Yeah, those games NoE localised like Pandora's Tower and Last Story had the same British voice actors. Was really nice to hear something different than the usual american dubbing.

No one who complains about American VAs makes a distinction between or probably even knows about the different talent pools.

>>388701319
what was so great about the combat?

>>388706105
No one claimed that. The claim was that they're not recruited from theatre but that all American VAs do nothing but VA roles. As opposed to British VAs who do the VA work on the side.

>>388706105
Maybe you should read the actual posts.

>>388706239
It had a fuckload of depth beyond the surface and literally every combination of melee/ranged weapon was viable in some way. Things like Overdrive and Secondary/Tertiary Cooldowns influencing the way your Arts worked plus call-outs from your party members providing additional modifiers actually made the combat system surprisingly deep, considering the game handles like an offline MMO at surface level.

>>388706104
>You literally tried to disprove that they do pretty much nothing but voice acting roles.

Honestly, this entire retarded argument only came about as a result of blatant generalization and xenophobia, and I want no part in it. It doesn't matter what anyone says to prove you wrong since you're already set on one particular belief, meaning this is going to go nowhere and continue to derail the thread.

It took XB's combat arts and improved them, and there's an insane amount of strategic and technical depth. Passive and Active status, methods to force those status such as with Soul voice or attacking from above, in addition to the methods of forcing Soul Voices. All the different weapons and arts you could learn, and once you mastered a weapon you could bring that weapon and it's arts to other classes further increasing your options and allowing for insanely broke builds.

This was honestly my favourite thing about XCX. Mixing and matching weapons to come up with interesting new combinations of arts and figuring out what synergises made the game a lot of fun and added tons of playtime for me.

The fact that most people didn't even know how to do all that stuff, or that you could do it in the first place, shows there was a lot more wrong with X than just the story. It was an over-complicated mess that never bothered to explain most of its functions in a proper way.

I unironically think that Xenoblade's dub is one of the greatest of all time. I think they should definitely keep British voices at least for the more fantastical entries in the series, though I'm fine with American voices in X seeing as all the characters are SUPPOSED to be Americans

I enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles X but honestly, I thought the game got worse when I actually got my Xenoblade, aside from the first hour with it I felt like it had less depth than the ground combat.

I agree that the game doesn't exactly teach you any this or that it isn't necessary for clearing the main game or most if not all of the sidequests, and changing both of those things would have improved the game. Just like in the story, there's no end to the things that the game lightly glosses over when there's so much more to see.

That said, even though you have to dive in to see it, the depth is there. And it IS required for superbosses if you count those.

Whip up a Beam-element saber with good attributes on it (anything related to weapon attack up or overdrive is good), make a couple of Arts: TP Gain XX augments and abuse your saber's Starfall Blossom art to generate tons of TP and initiate strings of melee art combos. Assuming you're willing to abuse Overdrive, Ether Blast and Galactic Cataclysm will probably be your primary sources of damage since they're both ether-based TP arts. You won't have access to Black Butterfly or Stellar Ray to reduce the enemy's Ether resistance though, so there's that.
Also, Starlight Kick and Gravity Blast are good for toppling, and both can be chained consecutively if you're in Overdrive or have the Secondary Accelerator skill. Those are both Gravity-aspected though so they wouldn't fit in with an Ether-focused build.
You'll also want the uh...that one skill that enhances the power of melee art combos, I forgot its name but you'll want that maxed for sure.

Without Arts: TP Gain XX augments your TP generation is gonna suck hard, so make one or two of those augments ASAP. Trust me.

Oh, and this goes without saying but you've got access to three different auras, and of those three I highly recommend Astral Protection (tanky as fuck if done right) or Astrolibrium (the ever-hilarious Reflect-All build starts here). Geolibrium's not bad but it doesn't give you the kind of bulk that Astral Protection does, and Reflect is just plain silly.

That's it. That's the only point I was refuting and the only argument I have any stock in. But I'm done derailing the thread. Keep deflecting to cover for the fact that you get your "facts" about the American voice acting industry secondhand from shitposters.

Clearly. You only give a shit about your strawman.

>>388707991
Actually I just realised that you won't have access to Astral Protection due to using a Raygun over Psycho Launchers, so that makes things interesting. You've still got access to Astrolibrium and Geolibrium though.

>>388708151
Have you' been keeping an eye on your squad missions? Telethia Plume has been up twice in the past 3 days and Yggdralith Zero should actually be spawning some time soon. If you've got an Ares 90 you can farm mountains of reward tickets by doing appendage break runs (break all appendages, abandon mission, start it again, repeat) of Telethia and Yggdralith. The other day I actually capped on tickets just by doing appendage runs of Telethia for a few hours. You can dramatically speed up end-game prep by abusing that.

>>388708151
There are worse ones. Arts: TP is just the best one to grind for since the payoff for ground builds is huge. You are doing it with capped treasure sensor, right?

Usually that means you'll always get the thing you want if you break the part, though there are a few that aren't guaranteed. When you have tickets to spare you might invest in the bunny outfit for higher point density.

The britsh voice acting in Xenoblade made my ears bleed. I typically play all my games in English unless the voice cast is intolerable. This was one of those cases. I switched it to Japanese and only looked back once, more ear bleeding, and then never again.

>>388708664
Haven't played much Photon Saber myself but if I recall, it has lots of arts who do better damage in Melee combo, so remember that EVERY ART ASSOCIATED TO YOUR MELEE WEAPON REGARDLESS OF COLOR can trigger a Melee combo. So say you use a Beam Saber, you can go
Astrolibrium for better Beam damage (or you can go Novalibrium and wait to get hit between each attack to get Super Charged) -> Starfall Rondo -> Starfall Blade all with combo-boosted damage

Starfall Blossom is also vital for TP gains IIRC

I'm actually already starting to like the characters from what I saw in the Gamescom footage. Rex seems to have a cocky side, Tora is a badass engineer (I love the "Poppi! All power to weapon systems!" line when fighting the unique monster) and Nia seems aggressive, though I couldn't hear her voice as well as the others.

One thing I am liking is that it really comes off as Pyyrha and Rex fighting together, as opposed to the typical shonen protagonist doing all the heavylifting while the heroine is a jobber. I love it when they swing the sword down together.

>>388711307
All his combat lines have a different feel than Shulk's. Shulk got excited during battle, but he never seemed to really enjoy it. He mostly just raved on about teamwork and how all his friends were doing. Even when you fought a weakling he told everyone in the party to stay on their guard.

Rex actually challenges opponents to come at him and seems to enjoy kicking ass and taking names. Then he boasts about easy it was afterward. It's totally different.

Xenoblade cast was catching lightning in a bottle. They were just a great hand picked cast with a decent script to work with.

Doesn't mean EVERY British audio trip is going to be of the same level of quality. Look at the Just Cause games for great examples of truly shitty British dubbed products. It's so forgettable and bad you'll never want to see it again.

>>388723687
I kind of always expect VAs/actors to disregard vidya as a pleb medium once they've been in movies/on TV. Especially when nu-Who is so big these days.

>>388723975
They still have to provide a good performance and do their best you idiot. They get paid. It's not like Jenna Coleman half asses her lines and side UK just go "oh that'll do it's Jenna Coleman so it doesn't have to be good".

Side UK are relied on by Nintendo to provide the best possible voice performances. It's not a popularity contest and just because she's in doctor who doesnt mean she gets let off the hook.

Although Melia was my least fave character and none of her lines really stood out to me. Probs the weakest performance of the cast.

Most people are stupid though and are generic in thought. I mean what were the actual criticms against his design? I swear it was just stuff like "he looks gay" "he looks like a faggot"... Top of the line criticism there. It's the kind of low level, lazy criticsm you expect mouth-breathing autists who lack any kind of creative discernment and largely exist as corner-dwellers spending time on game related message boards 24/7 spouting complete vitriolic shite for the sake of being vitriolic. These people have no experience in game design/creative design/character design and have probably never once stepped foot in a video game development environment or have the kind of mind to succeed in such an environment, so why does it matter what they say?

It's blatant immaturity. That's all it is.

The animations look so sick. Everything about Nia is great

Not him but this game looks better than BotW just from the world and variety alone.

Brian Altano from IGN loved it so fuck you you're wrong

Is the "Xenoblade 2 has auto-attacks so it plays itself" the new "Wonderful 101 has multiple units on screen so it's a Pikmin clone"

I can't believe I missed that one. I love it

These characters have a ton of personality. They could have come straight out of Chrono Trigger or something

Isn't that just Melia's idle animation repurposed?

Now I have to go make a webm of Poppi's goosestep.

I am completely okay with british dubs becoming Xenoblade's identity. It's great.

My dear summer child, back in 2004~2007 we used to say, "You can't spell IGNORANCE without IGN".

Is Nintendo going to give it another shot at porn?

>The fact that most people didn't even know how to do all that stuff, or that you could do it in the first place, shows there was a lot more wrong with X than just the story. It was an over-complicated mess that never bothered to explain most of its functions in a proper way.
It's got a manual that explains pretty much everything. It's a digital manual too so even if you get the game used, you're fine.
It's either that or forced tutorials and god knows you'd complain about that even harder.

That's just a necessary evil if you wanna play a game with depth. You're gonna have to do some studying.
Just be glad you don't have to wiki crawl for a basic understanding of the systems.

I've been saying for years that all Nintendo needs to do to become the biggest and most successful company in the world, is go back to making love hotels themed around their IPs and launch lines of Nintendo sex toys.

I mean, there are Hello Kitty sexy lingerine and dildos/vibes, so... a Master Sword vibe to make your girlfriend HYAA! wouldn't be too too outlandish.
