Are you ready for the JRPG GOTY?

>>Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is not for inexperienced RPG players. The battle system at its most intense is a tremendously complicated ballet of patience and timing that will take dozens of hours to master
People refused to learn X's battle system, so they'll probably complain it's too complex again since reviewers and gamers have become even more retarded since then.

>>389154698
Would fill that fuckdoll.

>>389154698
That is good. Party members seem to play a better role than in XCX and have more costumization than XC so it's definitely a step in the right direction. AI doesn't look as dumb since we see the catgirl switch to a new weapon when the combos are availabe

>swapped fairly good (not Yoshida-tier, but fairly good) character designs of previous Xeno games to this abortion coming from some no-name h-artist
why?

>>389154698
No ass.

The Xenoblade characters were unique, but absolutely horrendous to look at.
Complete and utter abominations.

>>389155837
After seeing them in motion during the streams, the character models look pretty good and better than previous games.

I wouldn't say any of the games Takahashi made are hardcore.
It would be nice if the games had a hard mode.

>>389155837
Xeno games have been using hentai artists to design characters and/or armor and various shit since Xenosaga.

A huge chunk of JRPG character designers start their careers drawing hentai doujins.

>>389159471
What a wonderful world we live in

>>389155837
If the style of the character designs of a specific game doesn't appeal to you, it doesn't mean that it's bad.

>>389154930
me too

Okay. When's it coming out?

ahahahahahahahahahaha

>Battles in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are fun and engaging; even though Rex auto-attacks, managing your positioning, blades, and arts is satisfying when you combo them just right. The most exciting moments came as my party gauge filled up and I began chaining attacks together. Stringing together attacks proved most satisfying as I churned through several lengthy battles.

I read the OP too!

>>389163342
instant gratification means that nerds to unwilling to put more than no effort into understanding and learning shit.

I personally blame all the god damn pushes to make vidya cinematic as fuck tricking entry level and shallow nerds into thinking that video games are a passive medium of entertainment like movie. Instead of people realizing that vidya is more like a book than anything simply based on the fact that one must actually do something to fully experience it. Since with books one must make a conscious effort to either scroll down an ebook or turn the page of a physical book.


So how you ask? Lazy nerds tricked into thinking that vidya is all about instant gratification more so than anything else

I sincerely hope they're not blowing smoke up my ass. I also sincerely hope there's Japanese audio, any mention of that yet?

Wasn't the E3 trailer pretty specific about it being dub only
You can always import, it's region-free
That's what I'm doing

I like vidy, anon, but c'mon.

>>389163923
No confirmation unlike FE Musou which is confirmed English only.

My only guess for that is they wanna keep the file size down due to all of the fully voiced support conversations that are to be included in the game.

>>389164115

They were playing the Japanese version and had to stress that so as to not alarm any plebs watching. I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese audio is cut, but you can't infer it from the shit at E3

>>389154698

No, they literally make these games for the lowest common denominator going right back to the beginning when they were copying wizardry and ultima
jrpgs are basically adventure games padded out the ass with mindless grinding

that's rich coming from IGN

Lin had a good design though.

>>389164115
The E3 trailer only had that for EU to warn people that there won't be a track with French/Italian/Spanish voices more than to say that there won't be a Jap one.

>>389168071
Oh, really?

What the fuck are you on about?

>>389166747
no that applies to pretty much all of them

>>389168149
It's pretty usual for EU trailers, compare the trailers at 0:12.

UK trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xksPVZptPGM
FR trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpuXab6roP8
US trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjpao-nD5YU

The warning is only here in (or, well, former) EU countries.

>No confirmation unlike FE Musou which is confirmed English only.
Actually they confirmed dual audio.

>>389168991

That's not Sen III

>>389169284
This. But gameinformer and the the french guys seem more reliable so it's cool

>>389163342

X's battle system is extremely slow and tedious until you've unlocked decent arts and TP boosters.

It's doesn't look like X2 is any different in that sense.

>>389167605
I was surprised when I saw those sketches, because it looks really good. It didn't translate well into 3D, sadly.

Truth. Stop wasting your time with this dogshit genre that nobody save for a very small minority here likes.

There's a reason Western games sell better and are received better.

>>389168597
i just dual audio or a option to mute the voices if it's dub only

I think the main character looks like shit and the fact that the story is basically aimed at everyone is kinda underwhelming.
Nonetheless, i was sold when I saw the world and heard some samples of the music.

>>389176208
I hope is isn't the loudmouth shounen Nurutu brat he looks like.

>>389176748
I really hope so too, since this xenoblade is going to be story focused i don't wanna be annoyed everytime i see this dude.
