Xenoblade 1 looks hideous.
Instead, Tanaka (XG, XS1, and XBX) should be the character designer and the artstyle/modelling should be akin to XB2.

Xenoblade 1 was in a weird position where they modeled all of the armor before they could even get a character designer, and so they made generic human models to put the armor on. They then designed/drew the characters afterwards afterwards wearing armor (That became the starter armor) that looked cool.

xc2 looks worse somehow though

Attached: ourdun.png (200x200, 44K)

Who designed Riki then?

No, XC2 just looks generic. From an objective standpoint its characters look the best out of all Xeno games.

Xeno has a history of terrible models outside of Xenosaga 3 and Xenoblade 2.

XG and XG were full anime back then, so much that you could say XG was HEAVILY based on Eva, or even a ripoff of it in some aspects, mostly tone, themes and robots.

XBX is probably the least "anime" in terms of character design, art direction, story and character interactions.

>XBX is probably the least "anime" in terms of character design, art direction, story and character interactions.
Nigga XBX is literally mecha fanservice the game. It goes harder in Japanese mecha tropes than XB1 or XB2 goes harder in Japanese shounen tropes.

XB1 fans literally complained about XBX's
overly anime artstyle when it was first revealed.

XB3 will be Tetsuya Nomura's next project

Someone at Monolith, probably. Like the people who designed characters like Torna's Blades and the younger version of Minoth in XB2.

Even though it's not the most technically impressive, XC2 is the jrpg that does anime style the best for me, so yes. There's something about it that just clicks with me. And theu nailedthe eyes. DQXI would be if it weren't for Toriyama, which I never had a thing for.

No, it's invalidated by X and 2.

Just joking, it's this:

>XC2 is the jrpg that does anime style the best for me

PS4 does anime style much better (Dragon Ball Fighter Z). Just you wait, PS5 will probably outright blatantly perfect this graphic visual style without anymore hiccups. Imagine a PS5 Tales game or something like that.

Dolphin>WiiU>Wii>3DS

the main thing was the world and the music, but I also enjoyed the combat and the story a lot.
this user is partially right in that there really isn't one thing left that hasn't been improved on by either X or 2 (except for maybe english voice acting), but as a whole package I think it's still very strong and doesn't have as many problems holding it back as the later games.

I just don't want it being clustered with waifus. Anime tiddie is fine but it feels like that's all XB threads are now.

I was talking about jRPG, snoyfag. If we're purely talking about anime style, Guilty Gear destroys everything. But none of those games are jrpgs. And a PS5 Tales Of game already exists, it's any recent Tales Of game on PC.

I get it if people dont like XC2’s designs but you have to be a legit crack smoker to actually believe this. Xenoblade’s world looks solid even to this day but its character models look straight retarded. XC2’s main cast looks better in game then they do in their own promo art, especially with Rex, Nia and Pyra.

Xenoblade 2's models and artstyle look so much better than Xenoblade 1's, but Xenoblade 1's character designs are miles superior

despite what people think XC1 was pretty anime in terms of designs
XC2 just went a little overboard at times due to the multiple artists they got for some of the blades, that and Masatsugu Saito when a little crazy with the main character designs
There's nothing wrong with having a bit of uniqueness to your character designs, but it has to make sense in the world or setting the characters are in
No one looks like Rex at all so his design stands out a little too much, where as Reyn's outfit is similar to Colony 9's soldiers outfits but he is a little too big for them, hence the exposed stomach
in the end it has to make sense and not having too much unnecessary shit that is added

Sure.
Just admit you have the exact same taste as reddit, it's fine.

He's here! The clown is here!

Reddit doesn't even own a switch, how can it be a reddit game? Guess which game had Kotaku articles written about how problematic it is, and which game was unanimously praised by the bloggers who can't even beat the Cuphead tutorial?

Persona 5 was pretty cool, but it's virtually a massive visual novel and you never really have any freedom in that game. You still get interrupted by your party speaking to you during dungeons late in the game, and in general the puzzles are incredibly boring. Not only that but you get locked out of said dungeons so you're stuck with Mementos, which is absolutely awful. If you want to talk about the story, it falls apart the moment Kaneshiro's dungeon comes into play and Makoto hops into your party since she makes everyone look like a downright retard. I hope Royal remedies a lot of aspects of the original, but meh. Most people haven't even played P5. They just kind of jumped on the bandwagon due to the anime, or found the character designs cool.

Kotaku loves XB2, though.

I'll do my best senpai! Watch me!

Just XC1. It's not entirely necessary to have played XC1 beforehand, but it's one of those games anyone interested in jRPGs should play. It's like a classic. Plus it's best to do it first, as in, like most series, the gameplay evolved and going back to previous iterations once you've played the more recent ones is a chore.

I'm not your little boogeyman. I can't believe "Eric", "Ryan", or whoever you fags like to point fingers at have left you so paranoid that anything that remotely resembles shitposting in your eyes is his doing. Honestly it's pathetic. Out of all the daily threads I've witnessed on Yea Forums, Xenoblade has to take the cake when it comes to paranoia. Imagine trying to identify shitposters so hard on an anonymous image board. Reddit would be more your speed.

Fix the dead eyes and shit chins first though. And then I'd be okay. Still prefer Tanaka.

Looks worse

Again, it emulates really, really well, so if you have an even remotely modern PC you should try that. My copy of the game was stolen before I could finish it, and the only problem I had with finishing the game using Dolphin on my shitty $250 laptop was some minor audio stutter during the final boss fight.

what

Let me explain. Whenever someone says something bad about XB2, a nintendies mind goes into a state known "Eric projection". In this state, any and all criticisms of XB2 are pinned to a man known as Eric. Sometimes, XB2 fucks up something fierce and the normal Eric Projection mode doesn't work, so they then activate "Seething and Coping Eric deflector mode" where the man known as Eric is now "Coping" and "Seething".
Sometimes, they will call posts made within less then a minute of each other, "Eric". And even though this is impossible, they're mind see's nothing wrong with it in Eric Projection mode.

Eric hasn't been in these threads for months now. I don't see how pointing fingers at every post you disagree with and saying "Eric REEEEEEE" is helping make the threads better. Be the change you want to see happen. Instead of falling for bait all the time you could easily sage and report, but apparently you can't comprehend such a thing a year of shitposting later.

The Switch is pretty solid when docked. I really wish they'd start making their games with the docked mode in mind since the framerate and graphics go to shit when playing on handheld.

I want 3 to continue the anime design and the style of gameplay/story from Xenoblade 1 and 2. I also want the X spin off series to continue as well, and the more realistic, player freedom style of that game should continue there.

X is very anime, and it is anime in a bad way.

2 is anime, in both good and bad ways.

1 is anime, but it is so simple and straight forward that it barely fucking matters anyway and might as well be capeshit.

>X is very anime
Wrong.

I'm the guy, I meant specifically in regards to the story and tropes used. Aesthetically X is fucking brilliant outside of faces/facial animations for the characters.

Honestly you can play the Xeno games in any way you want. They're connected in a very loose way and take inspiration from each other in a non-linear way.
Without direct spoilers:
>Gears was the start of everything, and every Xeno game afterwards takes some sort of inspiration from Gears. Gears was also meant to be Episode 5 of a 6 part saga (which is explained in the book "Perfect Works"), but it never came to fruition.
>Saga is an attempt to restart Perfect Works (this time as Episode 1) and is semi-connected to Gears through plot stuff, though not directly due to Xeno being a legal clusterfuck.
>Blade 1 is kinda it's own thing
>Same goes for X
>Blade 2 takes heavy inspiration from Gears, from having a similar backstory to the world's creation, characters that parallel Gears characters, countries that parallel Gears characters, etc. It also retroactively ties Blade 1 into the larger Xeno series through an insane plot twist. It's also the third attempt to restart Perfect Works.
So, for example, you can play 2 then 1, and that plot point that connects them will be just as crazy when you play 1 as it would for a 1 player that moves on to 2.
Just start wherever the fuck you want.

I'd like an inbetween, I think that some fanservice and the like affords character but that 2 overreached in many ways for anyone that wasn't a weeb jerking it.

Xeno truly is Final Fantasy..

>So, for example, you can play 2 then 1, and that plot point that connects them will be just as crazy when you play 1 as it would for a 1 player that moves on to 2.
It's not all that crazy if you know it's coming.

Not really. Final Fantasy is just straight up not connected and does it's own thing from game to game. Xeno at least has Zohar shenanigans and tackles most of the same themes in each game.

I'm talking more about when a 2 -> 1 player would learn that Zanza is Klaus, and that defeating Zanza is what caused the end of XB2.

VII and X are.

They have a extremely loose connection to one another, but most people should treat it like FF.

This: So, anime.

I never finished X and dropped the series with it.

real robot anime aesthetic is a fucking treat and we need more of it

I played in order from first to last, Persona 5, Nier Automata, XC2, Dragon Quest XI, XC2 Torna, Kingdom Hearts 3
I enjoyed XC2 the most, deal with it fag

I want good stuff so either XBC1 or Xenogears.
I think what people often mean by "anime" is garbage moeshit or bad attempts to turn 2D into 3D like Xenosaga/XCX. At least the bodies looked fine but they fuck up the faces.
Would work in creepy horrorgames though so maybe they can use both

Good taste.

That's so sad. I can tell he's liking his own comment.

No the fuck he didn't. If you ever go into a Nintendo vs Sony thread, he is the only person to call the Switch the Shitch. Nobody else uses that word but him.

But this thread isn't a console war...sure you aren't paranoid? I own both systems so I never really got those stupid wars.

As someone who's loved Xenoblade 1/X/2/Torna, I tried to get into Xenogears recently but I just think I dropped it. Am I missing something? It doesn't feel like the game ever lets you go. You're shoehorned into situations, party member keep coming and going, you're not allowed to explore the overworld outside of where you're told to go.

And it's a real shame because I've been semi-enjoying it. I love the look of it and I wanted to see where the story was gonna go.

Every JRPG is science fantasy. It's the biggest fucking umbrella genre there is, requiring no writing discipline, no real imagination, no concise vision. Just splatter whatever shit you want all over the place.

Gears is practically the definition of "you can go anywhere but do nothing". Outside of lategame there's almost no optional content (although one piece of optional content in the endgame is amazing)
I suggest using a guide if you aren't, since the game can get very confusing to navigate. I like this one: xenosaga.fandom.com/wiki/Xenogears_Walkthrough
Here's some tips to help you out as well:
>If you haven't noticed, Citan is really fucking good. He should be in your party throughout the entire game unless you specifically don't want to use him. 3rd Party member is up to you, but I personally like Elly.
>Figure out the Deathblow system if you haven't. Once you do, the game gets a lot simpler.
>Ether sucks outside of a very specific thing, don't use it
>Said specific thing is giving Elly an Ether Doubler (Accessories for the characters also apply to Gear combat for some reason), a Power Magic (Gear Equipment), and then nuke bosses with Aerods
>Honestly just run from random encounters when in a Gear, it's not worth the HP/Fuel to fight them
>Omegasols are really cheap for how good they are
The story is really fucking cool, but i'm sorry to say that the gameplay never improves. Honestly i'd stick with it at this point since you're about halfway in.

I Wonder how much truth was in Avellone's claims that Obsidian basically stole the money Paradox gave them to develop the game in order to better finance Pillars of Eternity.

Thanks for the reply, yeah I understood most of those things incidentally. But that's extremely unfortunate about the gameplay part. I'll attempt to play some more but unfortunetely the gameplay being so whatever might be a deal breaker in the end. Which is super disappointing because I love the idea of the combos and such.

the uncanny 3d fits the story in xcx. they look like dolls.

Well, this is a thread about looks but you're right.

I doubt that's what they were going for desu

i really like the over sexualized designs in god eater, of all fucking things but most xc2 girls dont really do it for me. except of course, poppi and pneuma

>I doubt that's what they were going for
maybe not. elma's non mimeosome form doesnt look as bad though which is kinda interesting.

Really if you can hold out until Disc 2 the gameplay becomes less of an issue (mainly because there isn't a lot of gameplay in Disc 2 to begin with, but you also get some crazy tools that make combat faster, but not really more interesting)

Agreed, that's half the fun. If all the enemies in an area matched your level, exploration would be a lot less interesting.
It's not like death even matters in Xenoblade.

The best thing about Blade games is pushing your luck and exploring areas that are way overlevelled. Or having to take your surroundings into account so you know to run away from the path of the level 80 Giga Nigga Ape or Fun-Hating Robot while you're taking on level 20 Walking Molluscs.

Literally everything in X looks great besides the face models. The armors are inspired, the monster designs are unique and fleshed out, the xenoforms are suitably alien looking and varied, there's a clear distinction between the man-made machines and the enemy machines becuase they bothered using different designers for each, etc. The only instance of concept art being much better than the in-game stuff is the faces, and that's what I want them to improve on.

Sort of, but I think they still need to work on it a bit. Compare pic related to how Tanaka draws faces and XB2 is still lacking something. I think stronger definition within the face is needed as well as the shading effect around the edges of face that Tanaka usually has.

Okay, two things.
The style has been achieved, what needs to be worked on now is simply the light engine. The XC2 model would look quite different if it was done in the XCX light engine. As for shape I think we can agree it's all there.
Still as far as 3D goes you know it's never going to be the exact same thing and they have to work around the art in some ways for it to work in all kinds of perspective.

A way forward has been found and I hope they bank on it.
People can shit on XC2 however they want but if anything it has given Monolithsoft a huge catalog of styles which they can choose and improve upon.

No, Lin is cute.

Why can JRPG fans never get along?
It's always 1 vs X vs 2?
Why can't we just enjoy things?
3 or X2 are just gonna add even more factions

>People can shit on XC2 however they want but if anything it has given Monolithsoft a huge catalog of styles which they can choose and improve upon.
Yeah, between X and XC2 they've tried out a huge amount of things (design styles, gameplay mechanics, design philosophies) and we've already seen how X's experimentation paid off tremendously for Breath of the Wild. The same will be true of XB2 in time.

Of course the question is will they ever nail all the best parts of their games in one single game.

But everyone likes all three.

But Malos prefers punching dudes.

All they gotta do is put a stat cap on Potential, find a balanced boost range for Core Crusher, make Pheonix/G Buster level 50/60 ONLY and vastly increase fuel cost for both, while also doubling the fuel cost for all other skell arts.

Smaller QOL changes can follow, such as automatically changing party members for story/affinity quests when selecting the quest, instead of making you do that manually, or always spawning a yellow info dude near you in NLA to tell you about currently available H2H locations.

The other big change is to make story quests scale to your level and your skell so you don't always destroy and easily steamroll those missions. While we are doing that, upgrade the story by having actual good character scenes and development for Elma, Lin, Gwin, Irina, and Doug as part of the main story sequence, and also add some stuff for the villains and Celica & Rock too, to avoid monster of the week feeling and useless character syndrome. A final change to make would be to fix the music and mixing during missions. Offer alternative themes for NLA you can choose via the barracks. Have cutscenes have proper music that matches the fucking scenes, and make sure the voices can be heard through them. Do all of this and the game is now perfect.

For the super hardcore crowd, either add a bringer of chaos tier hard mode, a really good challenge mode like Xenoblade 2, or make Tyrants much harder so they live up to their name and become a real accomplishment to defeat.

Malos just prefers dudes

I kind of want Xenoblade 3 to have a westshit artstyle, just to see how angry people would get.

Cut down on about 30% of unused stats and augments. Portable music for your skell. New skell mechanics in battle so it isn't even more basic than ground combat. Set presets for each class and set presets in general. Fashion gear that simply uses the look and doesn't take the fashion item from the item slot, avoiding doubles of the same in the inventory. More caverns and inner areas with or without skell but with different environments.
