I don't care for him, but that's okay, because I can play as Tora and his adorable sexbot instead.

>>388901028
That shit's already confirmed. We're going to take it to the next level holding hands while staring deeply into each other's eyes

>>388900484
Yes, I love /ss/.

>>388900643
They said somewhere it was coming out around the holidays didn't they? Simultaneous worldwide release too I think.

>>388901423
>Worldwide release
I think people are taking this for granted. We had to wait 6 FUCKING MONTHS after XCX released for it to come out in the west. We're getting it in the same general time as Japan does. Thank fucking god.

It's probably because the game sells like 5x more in the west than it does in Japan. For some reason Japan just doesn't like Takahashi.

Dev interview stated that all 3 big groups, NCL, NoE and NoA are working together to make the game feel the same across all regions.

At E3 they were only a week or 2 away from including English in the demo.

>>388904301
Xenoblade never had conventionally cute designs before. Previous characters have been cute in design and concept, but neither their ingame models nor their official art did them justice.

You'll be stuck with it in Smash Bros.

>>388900643
Very late November or some time in December are literally the only places it can go. It's way too close to September and they wouldn't put it in October or early/mid November since Super Mario Odyssey would eat it alive.

It's either that or delayed till 2018 but it seems like they're really trying to make 2017 for whatever reason. I imagine we'll get a Xenoblade direct soon.

MOM SAID IT'S MY TURN TO BE THE PROTAGONIST! TAAAAAAAAAAAKE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!

If he somehow got into Smash then there's a chance he might have a swimsuit alt like Shulk has or hopefully an alt costume of equipment from the game, so maybe not.

That's objectively incorrect. His outfit is shit but it's mostly because of the scuba helmet and whatever the fuck those pants are.

Look at the icon on the cosmetics shop. it looks like actual cosmetics, not cosmetic gear, there's even a bakery, a fishmonger, a butcher, a knick knack store and one other that's just what the fuck is with these stores.

These are just the outside stalls.

I strongly dislike him but if you can swap his gear I guess it's alright since the rest of the characters look cool. Hopefully you can choose main control character too as in Xenoblade. Won't play it for a while though, still have half of Xenoblade and the entire X left to play.

>>388909459
>I strongly dislike him
What is there to strongly dislike? Aside from his outfit being kinda goofy we barely know anything about him, and what we do know doesn't seem bad.

Can anyone explain the combat system a bit more to me? I haven't played 1 and I skipped X because the combat seemed pretty boring but after watching the footage from gamescom it seems like its more interactive and a bit more like a traditional arpg in this one.

>>388909780
His outfit is absolutely horrible, but since that will change throughout the game that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is his proportions. What's up with his tiny body and giant feet and hands? Is he a different species?None of the other characters look like that. Perhaps it's just this particular armor making his hands and feet appear huge, but then he's just puny as fuck. His design is horrible to the core and no armor will save it.

Regarding personality I'll assume he's a standard early teenage anime hero.

>>388910102
His art is different from his actual model

>>388910102
Eh, I just can't get worked up about any of this design or art style stuff.

>>388910194
It's certainly better but still clearly over-dimensioned compared Shulk. And what's the deal with the sword people? Are they just decorations that run around doing the channeling animation or are they actual party members that can be targeted by enemy abilities?

>>388910394
In single player RPGs stuff like that is extremely important to me. The world is the most important aspect, but it comes down to the character as well.

>>388909786
In 1, you have a hotbar from which you can pick an arte to use, each with different effects and shit, and in the middle there's a special arte that fills up with each hit you deal.
It's very reminiscent of MMOs except there's no MP.
You also can charge up three bars on the top left of the screen and perform a chain attack, in which you take control of everyone and use consecutive attacks.

In X, it's pretty much the same, except you can jump mid combat and change weapons on the fly. You also don't have chain attacks anymore but you have Overdrive, which is super OP since it multiplies your damage by a metric fuckton if you know what you're doing.

In 2 the hotbar is dropped for a skill-tagged-to-button approach, and while it retains being able to change weapons like in X, we're not sure if you can jump in combat.
Chain Attacks are back, Overdrive is dropped, Cooldowns are no loger time-based but they work like the special arts in the first game, but you can't move around while attacking like you used to in the first two games, so positioning is more crucial.
The flow of the combat in 2 goes like this
>hit autoattacks to build up artes
>hit artes to build up blade artes
>use blade artes in succession to go up a skill tree and seal one of the opponent's moves
>use chain attacks to break the orbs that appear around the enemy after sealing one of his moves
There's more but we don't know what exactly yet.
Also I think you get bonus damage if you use an arte as a finisher in the auto attack combo.

>>388910949
Artes charged up at the beginning of battle are confirmed too.

Honestly, XC2 is the one that feels the least MMO-ish one from what we've seen.
Even if it's because of the lack of the hotbar and cooldowns not being time-based anymore.

>>388900484
Why do you care? Why should you care? They are going to fuck this up I guarantee you that. Why do you even bother asking if you know this is a poorly developed generic anime character. Literally a step down from what we had in the original.

Xenogear/Xenosaga is why this franchise exist. Why shouldn't I expect some standard RPG combat?

This thread inspired me to pick up chronicles where I left off, just after you arrived at the hamster town. I've run a sausage party team of Shulk, Reyn and Dunban for a long time but now I should probably think about switching in someone else.

>>388912771
Honestly, between Xenogears, Xenosaga 1-2 combat and Xenoblade's combat, I'd rather stick with Xenoblade's.
I don't know about 3 since I dropped the series at the middle of 2

Have you ever seen a character drawn in that way, that was super realistic and human? Because I've only seen one character that had any semblance of real humanity, and that's Luke from Tales of the Abyss, and even he had flaws. This whole game just reeks of stupidity and it isn't even out yet.

You should read up the in-game tutorial on how to use Melia, she's genuinely one of, if not the most powerful character in the game when used right (which is why you never let the dumb ass AI control her). Riki is also a good addition to any team since he's really versatile.

>>388913585
Have you ever seen a JRPG character like Luke? Someone who makes such a drastic change after seeing the consequences to his action?

>>388913864
I've played as Shulk for 90% of the game so far, feels a bit weird to run around as some princess girl all of the sudden. But her abilities do sound cool.

>>388913837
That's Subjective, but yes. It has decently developed characters, and great world building.

>>388914069
You should also give Dunban a whirl, once you unlock a bunch of his arts you can build some ridiculous combo chains that are fun as fuck to pull. Honestly, every character but Sharla is fun to play.

Yep you're retarded alright. Listen to the advice I gave you. Play more games

>>388914069
The main thing is to remember that abilities stack with each other, so two (or three) summoned bolts is a bigger damage buff than one etc. Her AI won't do it properly, though, so she'll always be weaker if you don't use her. On the other hand, her AI won't rip aggro off Dunban.

>>388914204
You never did answer the question. Why are you so intent on dodging it?

>>388914094
>that's subjective
>but yes

mmkay.

>>388914365
I told you it was subjective and I gave you my opinion on it. It's already implied that it was an opinion and not a statement.

>>388914172
Dunban is my last 10%. Mostly played him for the entire march so might be more than that. He was pretty boring in the beginning but as you say once you get some option he gets really slick.

>>388914219
I will take her for a whirl. First and foremost I have to relearn the game since I haven't played for about a year, but that shouldn't take very long. For me Xenoblade is one of those games where you get really invested in it when you play it a lot, but if you take a break it's hard to get back in it again.

>>388914365
In other words, he gave you his opinion while noting it was his opinion. Is there some reason you find that troubling, you fucking retard?

>>388914413
Remember that Melia's talent art (big middle one) works differently from everyone else's, you can use it at ANY TIME after having summoned an element to cast it out as an attack, and the more you cast, the more it fills. It's not one of those "you have to wait for it to be fully charged to use" like Shulk, Dunban, etc. and using it is a vital part of playing Melia

>>388914690
This is true, but isn't there also an RNG element involving her personal buff where you're more likely to keep it if the talent icon is more filled?

>>388914312
Nah you're dumbass with a poorly sense of judgement. Why should I even bother giving an answer to you if you contradict yourself. But to honestly believe Luke is a well written character and unique shows you know nothing of this genre. His design is shit in comparison to other characters in Abyss btw

That town from the latest demo looked like it came straight from some medieval fantasy mmo. Really contrasts with that area design.

He and Pyrrha are named for the Greek flood myth, where one king and his wife magically repopulated the Earth. Both of them are built for breeding.

Really love this song. Probably the title screen music. Perfectly sets the mood.

OST in general seems to be really great again.
