You will buy the definitive edition of Shulk and Fiora's game next year, right?

reminder to strip Fiora of all of her clothing before you try to stop the attack on Colony 9

If Fiora's design is unchanged, I doubt Melia's is either.

Still feeling more emotion from the original style of the 2nd pic even if it looks terrible from a graphics standpoint.

I don't think there was an explanation for that other than, only the weapons look a little different.

Will they pull a DQXI?
What will be the new content? added cutscenes to setup Xeno 3?
I hope they add torna/XC2 combat.

the updated visuals look to be fucking amazing.
I like the game but it seemed to drag on for fucking ever, mostly because i tend to play games and get every little piece out of it before i finish, but xenoblade was one of those games with too much shit to worry about. Depending on price i'll definitely get it to see about finishing it this time around.

I'm curious, though. Why is it called a Definitive Edition? I don't remember there being any add-ons or anything, especially considering it was a Wii game.

You tell me

Attached: H2x1_NSwitch_DragonQuestXI_enGB_image1600w.jpg (1600x800, 411K)

Nah, i won't. First off, i already played the damn 80 hours game like in 2017 and second: what's up with this artsyle? They look like dlc's from xenoblade 2. Fuck this.

Only swimsuits which was Dlc, you couldn’t mix match like the first 2.

fair enough. Wouldn't mind seeing some new stuff added though.

Depends on how much they change about it. Making battles less centered around Break - Topple - Daze would be a nice start

No

It's my understanding that the little clip at the end of the trailer with them standing on a cliff - they are overlooking an area that was cut from the original game
So it's "definitive" in the sense that they're adding content that was cut from the original release

I'm glad Takahashi decided to remake XC1 once he hit it big, who cares about a spinoff, XC1 is integral to the full enjoyment of XC2 and they're now both on the same console&improved.
The best news in a while.

There weren't, I guess there will now.

I'm wondering what specific kind of upgrade the game is compared to the original. It looks to be a remaster, but it seems like it very well could have been built from the ground up.

Xenoblade 1's dub is one of the best dubs in any Japanese game

I have an idea how to make it significantly better than the original

Born in a world of STRIFE

there's way less weebshit than XC2, the story and characters are enjoyable, and the gameplay is fun and unique. It'd definitely be worth at most $60.

I dont get it

Why though? I liked the original artsyle, you suppose it's done to appeal xenoblade 2 fans?

>Googles
That was a piece of armor, right? It looks like Shulk is wearing the best armor he could at that point as well, since it recolored him to purple

I enjoyed XBC2, so yes, I will.

If you played the game you'd know

To give you a rundown, the entire soundtrack tops any vidya or movie OST in the last 15 years, but the one bad song just happens to play the most often because when you evade an enemy attack after a vision, it plays, even in important boss fights.

When you change the future, it would activate the song Vision Reacts. Which was much less hype then other songs that could be playing.

Yes, because Shulk is a shitlord and a self insert is better

>started a playthrough the other night on dolphin because I want to play xb2
>this gets announced

Fuck. How connected are the stories? Will I be spoiling everything if I play xb2 first?

Its one hell of a journey, the soundtrack is superb and there will be a lot of feels. This just makes me excited for the 3rd entry 2bh

No. It looks a lot like the other games in the series, Xenoblade 2 included. Xenoblade 1 was the only game in the series that really didn't fit the mold with its weird character models. Faces have extremely low-quality textures and it looked very muddy, even ignoring the art style. I posted this, too. I think the new models look great.

Attached: 1567639341882.jpg (3585x4096, 694K)

Only once you get to chapter 10, before that you'll get hints that they are connected, but the stories are mostly stand alone.

Oh okay
I thought the guitar solo is pretty nice, but I can see how the whole thing breaks the flow. I played the game a long time ago I honestly dont remember much from the combat except for some painful super boss fights that were basically immune unless you topple them all the time

>Why though?
To get closer to their original artistic vision.
Something they couldn't achieve on Wii with their budget.
>you suppose it's done to appeal xenoblade 2 fans?
No they changed him before when adding him to smash(before XC2), so this invalidate this theory.

Yes. I tried to play the Wii release on my WiiU and it looked like shit. This one looks nice

>british
Yeah no, it's shit you ironic weeb

They did with XC2 eventually and Torna, so yeah.

Xenoblade 2's story only ties in to 1 in the final chapter. People are saying that there may be changes to 1 that might spoil certain things that we see in 2 earlier. As it is you can play either game first without spoiling the other.

I guess I'll pick it up either way. Thanks.

Yes mostly because I never finished it when I played in on the wii.

i haven't played 2 yet but i might give it a go before this comes out

REYN TIME IN HD

Honestly it's kind of cool that depending on the way you play, your emotional impact could be completely different. You might be able to piece together some story bits for 1 from 2's limited scenes, but then 1 could feel even more impactful once you get to those points and you figure out who is who.

>double dipping
Nah

>remember when I just bought Xenoblade 1 not being all that familiar with the franchise but I just wanted to support Operation Rainfall
>that entire game and the experience it gave me
>the games we've gotten since
Xenoblade will be one of my favorite modern JRPG franchises. I'll gladly play this game again with a renewed sense of joy.

Is it double dipping when it's not even the same version of the game from a different gen?
This looks lightyears ahead of 3DS&Wii.
It will probably feature lots of QoL stuff.

To bad the game still cucks Melia so fuck this game for Takahashi being a hack writer who cant into romance. Every single time the MC always has to get at least 2+ love interest while being an insufferable fagget.

>not triple dipping

It's still the same general experience, the environments look the same it's only the character models that are different. Also why would I rebuy and replay a game for QoL improvements?
>oh yes going through these menus is slightly more convenient now I'm glad I spent 60 shekels and tens of hours on this.

It restores cut content and will probably have various additions with the sequel in mind.

Which games before? Why is artstyle like that then in the wii version? Graphics have nothing to do with that
What artistic vision? How do you know that? He was in smash like that just like other characters that look different in their main games. Bayonetta isn't a huge ass mutant either, she's the same height as samus

Oh shit, didn't even think of that. Yeah, nothing worse then having a mish mash of styles because of armor stats not being what you want. Please, Monolith, for the love of god have cosmetic slots. Learn from X.

Do you think the OST will be re orchestrated like ?

Excited, but I'm sad this is what Monolith have been working on (other than XC3 of course). I was really hoping their new IP was an actual thing.

They'll probably keep it the same.

New IP just isn't ready yet, I guess. Maybe they want to have XC1 Remake at the start of next year and then use the new IP at E3. If an XC3 is in the works, I don't expect it to be done until much later and I would hope that it has the full force of Monolith behind it, unlike what happened with XC2, where it was basically a skeleton crew.

They've had 3 'projects' on their website, one for Zelda, one for XC3, and one for a 'project'. It's obvious the 'project' is simply Xenoblade Remaster and that all that art was just placeholder stuff.

They've become big enough to work on multiple things at once.
I doubt a remaster of XC1 mobilized the entire studio.
If anything I'd blame BOTW2 for eating up the workforce.

At least it will spawn a wave of much needed fanart.

I doubt it, it's perfect as is.

Unnecessary

The matter is that XC2 itself made that clear, besides adding more direct cues.

Definitely. I mean, I have the Wii and 3DS versions as well, plus the collector's editions of X and 2 and the physical release of Torna, so at this point I need it for collection's sake.

Thinking of this user's idea Maybe what will happen is that there some sort of paralogue or something, which would be why both Shulk and Melia have different clothes and there's a different looking Monado.

Unless all that goes to shit if there're more Monado replicas and those are new pieces of armor we hadn't seen before.

Where is the new artwork coming from?

I forgot that trading even existed until about 60 hours into the game.

It was going so well too. Try again later user.

I wonder if Alvis will get more scenes, showing flashbacks. I think they might also confirm that the sync rate was only 93% because of him as well. God, that would be so weird if we get a scene where you can see greyed out memories of the hill top and Mythra and Malos there.

Power wasn't really the problem, I thought it was that the organic bits would eventually decay because they just weren't made for cyborg integration. Homs/Mechon fusions were pretty much doomed to die no matter what.

If it's anything like Dragon Quest Definitive Edition, then I will buy it to marry Melia.

Attached: 1518427593079.jpg (1280x720, 150K)

Depends entirely on how the treasures are set up. The biggest problem in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, aside from hardware related shit like the framerate, was how you could find some hidden passage, pass through a barrier, dive into an underground spring, proceed to another underground passage at the end of which you'd find a treasure chest and open it, only to find something like 2 rare core crystals, some random ass accessory you could get almost anywhere else and some coins.

Nothing is more cancerous than this retarded bullshit JRPG's have been doing lately where they just assign generic loot to unique chests and treasuries.

>I'd say 700k-1M
That's honestly too low. XC2 alone managed to surpass 1.7M, and XC1 in general has a pretty massive cult following after it's decade long history. I wholeheartedly expect the remake to bust past 2M. 1.5 to be generous, but it'll still be incredible.

I'm expecting similar numbers to 2. So 1 million after 5 months?

I sure as shit will. And I won’t beat it this time either. Who’s with me?

XC1 has none of that. That's exclusively XC2 unfortunately for it

I wonder if they'll change Alvis at all to hint that he's an Aegis.

>After all these years, the Perfect Works is back on the menu
Bros..
It's really obvious, but I expect them to do it as well. I assume somewhere around the 2nd half of the game, where they go over the "Experiment".

I'll probably check it out then.

Yeah, treasure was a bit hit or miss. You could have some amazing stuff in Gormott with the right skills. A fucking Wood Chip in Torigoth with Nopon Wisdom and Super Strength lock only. But most of them were pretty bad.

XC1's treasure was generally better, but still kind of eh. All of the best stuff is always gotten from drops after killing or long quests chains. Honestly I don't really mind bad loot from chests. There is nothing more frustrating then finding out you missed some rare loot because you didn't look up at the start of this one area.

Fuck off back to reddot

I really want to know if they'll dabble into the Giant Clan plotline this time around. It's not really important since they were another clan of people that existed on the Bionis, but I figure it'll get mentioned more in terms of lore.

I won’t be buying the game unless there’s some really good shit. Did you catch anything new aside from the style?

Monolith soft

It seems pretty likely he is. His form of light will probably be changed to show the Processor Core. If there is new lines, then I imagine that they would change his speech about his being the AI for the station to being one of three. Monado 3 might also have his Core in it, hinting that it would have been his Blade weapon if he had gone through the same process. I also wouldn't put it past them to change the music during youtube.com/watch?v=wZ84UWORgG8 that calls back to XC2

I remember hearing that Vanea was originally going to be a party member at some point during the 2nd half of the game. If so, that'd honestly be great. We'd have every race in the party.

>Alvis and Klaus bonding moment (please God)
If it's Klaus sure, now if it's Zanza it's likely he always was a condescending prick to him.

Yeah but who's the artist?

It's kind of ironic that this happened. Just a few months ago, people were talking about a XC1 Remake. Honestly though, I'm glad they're focusing on the mainline so much. Connecting the games properly before XC3's inevitable release in the next 3 years will be great. Probably 2, since Monolith has expanded so much.
Didn't they try to humanize Zanza in the ending? Like he got lonely or shit, and then started sperging because people eventually forgot about him.

>Rex’s speech
That would be quite funny a dilemma, like newcomers wont know which game to play 1st, cause you are “spoiled the ending” all the same

>Rex's speech about finding a place in the world
Oh shit, I didn't consider this one. If I think about it, that would likely be about the point where Shulk is 'dead' and floating in the void with Alvis. God that would be kind of crazy, since at that point Shulk doesn't know what he is. Hearing that speech, I wonder.

But at the same time, I wouldn't want to ruin the original scene either. Part of how great it was, was Shulk finding the strength himself.

If anything, maybe the cast should hear Rex telling Malos to shut down Aion, while they are in the process of walking to Zanza and fighting the spirits.

looks like i have to finish xenoblade chronicles 2, i'm already like 60 hours in. if i tell you where i'm at can you tell me how much longer i need to beat the game?

People were saying it was Kunihiko Tanaka, the character designer for a lot of prior Xeno titles, but we don't know. The director for Monolith, Takahashi, was looking for a proper head artist to represent the company a few months back. It might be him, and he really matches Tanaka's style if it isn't him.

NO. STOP WITH THE REMAKES, REMASTERS AND PORTS. THIS IS NOT WHY I BOUGHT A CURRENT GEN CONSOLE.

Yeah maybe he wasn't always a prick. Or maybe he was but he still wanted friends after he was only one left and he was split in half.

Would you rather have condescending prick dad Zanza or depressed uninvolved dad Klaus? It’s not like Malos and Pnuema exactly hit the jackpot in the Best Father contest either.

Wouldn't it occur as Shulk is about to cut down Zanza, or after he does?

Sure which chapter is it?

They literally released a new game + a phenomenal dlc two years back
This is just padding and hype generation for the eventual xc3

Klaus prior the experiment failure(?) seemed to have a god complex of sorts so it might've been bad one way or the other.

Right as he’s about to do so, probably.

What I’m really interesting in knowing is if the “World without Gods” Shulk creates with Alvis isn’t actually a new universe, but a restoration of the fractured universes, so that all the people in Zanza’s reality got sent back to the “original” world that XB2 takes place.

If time flow the same in both world, then Rex’s speech would be somewhere during the leading up to Zanza, then Shulk’s speech start during Rex’s final fight
They can do a time-shenanigan and drop it anywhere tho

The "Find your place in this world" speech would take place much earlier. Before Mayneth dies in fact, so it wouldn't be while Shulk is dead either.

If it's Rex trying to talk sense into Malos, then it would be just before Shulk cuts down Zanza. There isn't a lot of times where Rex would be heard and it would all have to be heavy use of the Conduit. I can imagine only one instance of Shulk hearing Rex and that would be in a vision.

Post the full res, retard.

I can only hope this is how the schedule will be for the Blade series. A remake of X will likely fix all the issues people had with the game, on top of including the cut content.

>Unfinished Battle might actually be used twice instead of only once

It's specifically done to piss off fags like you that think the 5th game in a franchise should dictate how every other game from then on should look.

Does anyone else have this strange feeling that they're going to remove the equipment changing the look of your character thing and just have a few different outfits?

I have no real reason to think this, but I have the feeling all the same.

just booted it up, i'm at megrez gateway in the world tree. chapter 9

This would be based. It’ll be hilarious to see Zanza’s reaction to his other half intentionally biting the bullet while he gets his own ass kicked by some humans and his computer son.

>Rex's speech about finding a place in the world
I don't want to hear this shit in my game with good voice acting

It would be better to remove that shitty feature unless they add in a fashion slot

The only thing of interest in this direct

His "true" form will probably be shaped like a Zohar instead of being Generic Light Effect, and they'll probably remake the Klaus cutscene to be accurate to XC2, I don't expect much more than this. Besid, Alvis already had the Trinity Processor on his jacket so it's not like he needs a redesign.

I hope they use context to give us more buttons or something. The Wii didn't have many buttons they could use. I guess if they changed the pallet to be the Four face buttons and ZL and ZR to change arts, then it should be possible to have the normal full art pallet. A would obviously just be Talent art.

Or hell, maybe they won't change it at all and we will still have to use D-pad to change our art selection, making us claw to be able to use arts and move so we can use air slash at the side or whatever have you.

>Ontos just starts traveling between universes to find kids to kill gods
Serious what the fuck is his problem?

They’ll probably keep the armor system the same on a functional basis, but keep everyone’s appearances the same minus a few outfits, like you said. The only exception might be the replica Monados, one of which we might’ve seen a redesign of in the trailer, and maybe Fiora’s cyborg bits.

I was just thinking about that earlier. Like, what if Shulk and co. actually end up on Alrest? I'd like for the universes to stay separate, but whatever.

nia eats melia for breakfast

Realizes that his dad fucked up royally and thinks he can do better than him or his siblings. XB3 will be Alvis as the antagonist versus the new protagonist, with Rex and Pnuema, and Shulk, as party members.

Torna can be 100%ed in 50h give or take.

No actually it would make more sense if his material body had the core because the green light is his higher consciousnses existence, the monado book explains that he became that basically wave existence ripoff

I actually hope the progression of the Bionis is changed. Instead of warping from Makna Forest to Eryth Sea, we instead go
>Makna Forest > Bionis Shoulder > Eryth Sea
Not only that, but if the Shoulder contains Giant lore, it'll make more sense as to the whole Arglas being possessed by the Zanzafied Monado plotline.

of all the games that needed it Xenoblade was it

Well that was the original plan.

He hates gods. In a way he's similar to Malos because of Amalthus' influence he wanted to kill god in the end.

So far, this and the fact the game is on the Xenoblade 2 engine are the big ones. I imagine because of the new area, new super bosses will be added, but beyond that, I'm not sure they could add much more.

I wouldn't mind revisiting Mechonis areas.

>XB3 will be Alvis as the antagonist versus the new protagonist, with Rex and Pnuema, and Shulk, as party members.
Would there be any logical reason for Alvis to play an antagonistic role? His character in general feels a lot like the Wave Existence from Xenogears. The spirit trapped inside the Zohar. I'd assume XC3 will probably have both the Conduit, and Alvis in the same dimension, with Alvis trying to free himself with the MC's help. Sort of like Fei being the Contact, and etc.

turns out i underestimated how many hours i put into the game. i have 101 hours in. i spent most of that lurking around and doing side quests and i bought the game since launch period lol. i think i got burned out but i want to finally finish it.

>It's doubtful we'll get a XCX remake before XCX2.
I don't know if that'd make much sense, though. It'd probably be better for plot reasoning to remake the first title before going on to the sequel, instead of making a sequel when most people will have forgotten, or have no knowledge of XCX's plot.

I hope the VA's are still the same.

Alvis sounded the same, and there’s no way they’d drop Adam Howden since his performance literally makes up 50% of Shulk’s charisma as a character, so I really wouldn’t worry.

If you got to the space elevator you are almost done. You can even run past most encounters and complete the two chapters and move into the final one in like 2 hours if you are properly leveled.

Adam Howden confirmed he recorded some new lines before the direct for a unknown project which is probably this remake. I'm guessing most if not all of the old VAs are back.

What's Shulk like in jap? I heard he sounds like a generic shounen protagonist.

but Xenoblade is the first game in the franchise

They'll probably just use all the old voice lines for the base game's content, and have Fiora and Shulk be the only ones with extra voiced lines for any new content.

Adam Howden, Shulk's VA, tweeted some weeks ago that he had just finished recording for a game he thought people would be excited to see in the future, so I think Shulk getting new lines at least is a given.

I guess the cost of it might not make worth it, I doubt they dropped the X line completely but it seems their priority is elsewhere by the time being.

got it, thanks.

So what if they pull some weird dimension tricks, and make Rex a playable character?

I'd see X series as standalone eXperimental spinoffs centered 100% on sci-fi unlike the mainline games.
Nothing warranting a remake.

I'd like to see monolith embrace the MMO vision they had with X for X2.

The original had a bunch of unused lines of dialogue, of course it was just battle banter and whatnot.

>>Rex's speech about finding a place in the world
"what the fuck why did the voice acting get so shit all of a sudden"

This. I fucking loved the mysterious giant sized everything and really wish they explored that.

Probably in a Challenge Mode.

Sure, but probably for some NG+/Challenge/Postgame stuff.

No no, he said "best girl," not "hipster pick designed so NTRfags can imagine themselves swooping in to fix her broken heart." Melia is a mediocre tsundere and got exactly what she deserved- nothing, except perhaps a consolation fuck from Riki.

Plus head wings are fucking stupid.

>What's Shulk like in jap?
A little bit grating on the ears, actually. Not Granny Goku tier, mind you. But yeah, he sounds more like a loud mouthed kid in Japanese as compared to the composed young man that gets really heated sometimes in English.

Bros... who wants to tell him...

Attached: IMG_2712.jpg (225x225, 5K)

Absolutely. Playing the only truly great Xenoblade game again with more content will be great.

>I heard he sounds like a generic shounen protagonist.
Pretty much. It's not bad, but not remarkable either. He's pretty much your average young boy voice. He can still yell well enough though, but it really loses a lot of the inquisitive mind. Fiora is the one that barely loses anything, Reyn was more played up for the big dumb idiot kind of voice. Sharla I felt was a little ill fitting, as she doesn't give the air of a military person at all, let alone a medic.

left = soul
right = soulless

The environments were honestly fine though, and really just needed a little touching up. The character models, especially Shulk and Fiora’s, were atrocious and had horrible butter faces, and needed to be redone entirely.

I actually really like vision reacts

Left is the definition of soulless

Most of them were just fine and didn't need too much changing. Yeah, it's kind of sad that Fallen Arm is still kind of blurry, but even that pic has a lot more foliage on it. Not having just grass textures on everything will really help a lot.

Here's hoping the lip syncing doesn't look like total trash with the dub.

Not him, but could someone who reads runes translate that comic strip on the right there?

You mean right, yes? It's too clean, too sterile. All the smooth and soft shading is gone and replaced with bland anime shit. All the soul is gone.

The environments look pretty different, but that might be me.

Yeah I agree that's why the left looks like utter dogshit.

I remember some jank with the original, but at least it was nothing compared to what XC2 had.

I bet you though, because of the increased level of emotion the faces can do, that it will be the same. Having two different face movements based on language track just isn't possible, even worse now that it's grown to like 10. Just got to try your hardest.

Absolutely, I’ve been wanting this for ages

It seems so far to be the same environmental details, but they can just render more additions. So instead of Fallen Arm being covered in the basic ground/grass texture it was before, it's actually got more plants growing.

You're free to think that, but you're wrong in every way possible.

>It's not like 2 where elemental burst is literally your only option.
HAHAHAHAHA. Man, learn how damage is calculated before you make statements like this. I mean, it's still more mindless at end game then XC1 was, since you can hit max damage rather easily, but elemental burst is probably the slowest way to kill things and not even the safest. Even less so on Bringer of Chaos, where avoiding getting things into Awakening was king.

I know, and it’s the worst part. You would think a guy like Shulk would be nuts about cyborg pussy too.
Plus, he turns his girlfriend baci into a humans and doesn’t even bother making her tits a bit bigger

>working on X let Monolith Soft contribute to BotW thanks to their mapmaking/HD knowhow and they've reused the engine twice in a row
miss me with that cheap bait

And this changes the fact X is a terrible game how?

Wasn't it Vanea who did that though?

They haven't actually shown any gameplay nor UI, but I think it's going to mostly stay the same. Hopefully they fix Melia and Shulk's AI, at least.

"funny how Monolith Soft's only worthwhile games are the 'experiments'"
"X is shit"
it was still more valuable to make than anything else they shat out

Did she? Shit, I really ought to replay the game again to jog my memory.

Yeah, she produced the pod that would regrow their body using a blood sample. It would regrow exactly the way it was before the homs was chopped up and had cybernetics integrated.

Has an ambulance picked up poor Xfag yet? He was so sure XCX would get a port, he must be having seizures right now.

So in the end Monolith hasn't made anything worth playing.

It was nothing in game, it was part of the art book. Fiora spent months in a pod Vanea made to regrow her body.

I actually wanted to play this on the Switch, so yeah. I do hope the game looks a bit prettier than Xenoblade 2, and that the combat system resembles a revamped version of the first game's combat; will def hold out on buying it if it resembles 2's combat too much.

If is any indication, she'll be even more expressive and we can truly see her soul getting completely demolished.

>mfw people will finally see Fiora the way she deserves

But on the game she herself admits defeat after small chat with Fiora, can't go worse than that.

All those XB2 fan artists better start drawing some Chronicles fan art.

Well they drew Shulk and Fiora as soon as they got in there. See

The feathers on the title screen make me think there's going to be SOME sort of extra Melia content. Though no way will she ever win Shulk, Fiora will forever be Shulk's girl.

Original xenoblade 1 art style was better. I don’t get where this meme is coming from where people actually think that game looked bad. The other Xeno games just look like generic anime titles compared to xb1.

I've been playing xenoblade for 6 years on the emulator now. Still at Alcamoth when the boys arrive and you ran towards the tower. Game is such a drag

Shit taste. The original artstyle was garbage and only redditors think it's good.

Nobody complained about the art style really, it's just that the models and graphical fidelity was really dated already when it was released too, hell some PS2 games looked better (Xenosaga, FFX, FF12).
I would have been a bit disappointed if they just released it like that 10 years later.

>Takahashi is at his peak, and can make anything he wants
Yeah, anything Xenoblade related. He tried to push forward proposals for other projects, but Nintendo told him to show them results or whatever. Monolith Soft is rocking right now, but not enough for them to make new IP's.

No the robot said she can only fix her but can't give back her original organs, she simply got cosmetic upgrades.

They've literally been working on a new IP for years.

Nah, you're just autistic

you bet your ass i will
xc1 was excellent

Can we discuss literally anything else, going to have to see this shitty arguing in every Xenoblade thread from this point on

Thank you. The original art style had soft shading and unironically had more detail. The neck bones on Fiora are just gone and she doesn't have any detail. I would have preferred something closer to the original instead of Xenoblade 2.

Weird, by the time I reached that part I was completely hooked. Guess the game is not for everyone.

>Everyone's faces look like they have Down syndrome, can hardly make expressions, and look like they got dipped in mud
If you prefer the original designs, that's fine, but this board needs to stop acting contrarian as fuck over every new remake presented. It's so fucking sad.

>more detail
Delusional but that's the case with the mentally disabled who think that garbage has more detail even when all the faces had downs with disgusting shading and awful colorwork.

She has never been acting hostile towards Shulk even once aside from that initial encounter due to a misunderstanding. Hiding their feelings towards someone else doesn't make them tsundere.

No one's saying the visual fidelity in the original was good. Art direction is something separate from visual fidelity. People are saying they wanted the original designs like in the artwork but in HD.

Are you the same shitposter from earlier who was shitting up the thread earlier? Don't you have anything better to do?

The art direction was terrible. Only redditors wanted that in HD.

don't think im gonna play it twice from lvl 1

I've never played XC only XC2, but I hope that the number of sidequests is consistent with the sheer amount if sidequests in XC2. If not, I hope the remake adds more

I skipped them completely, mybe that's why. Probably the best thing to do on a first playthrough.

Maybe stop pretending the original game had a good artstyle then.

If anything, it already has too much sidequests to the point it could burn people out, see

It's a little silly to watch the launched enemies animations but I hope they add it in. Daze was basically just topple anyway

Still one of the best title screens in any game.

I'm someone who played while skipping 99% of the sidequests. The xp gain was paced perfectly, I didn't have to grind even once. I just killed everything that got in my way and never skipped enemies.
On the other hand, I have read online numerous reports that people who did sidequests got so much bonus xp, that it completely trivialized and broke the main campaign for them because they become incredibly OP: This was one of the reasons Xenoblade 2 introduced the system with the rested XP you get at the inn, so you can have more control over how much you want to break the game due to sidequests.

So, I'm quite confident to say that you are full of shit.

Xenoblade's character design never had soul. Everyone but Dunban looked like inbred bogans.

Considering Elma was added to XB2's challenge mode it doesn't seem like they intend on dropping X any time soon. Watch as she appears in this game's challenge mode too.

You have to be fucking garbage at the game to not build up every orb near instantly by endgame. Stop making an idiot out of yourself.

Zanza's monado always looked so dumb.

Would have preferred a new monolith game or XB3 butill play that again with XB2 updated graphics

To those saying the art style for original xenoblade 1 was bad, get better taste. Smash does a good job of keeping the style from the original game but with updated graphics. You can’t even tell me the new definitive edition looks better than this.

That looks like shit just like the original artstyle. Get better taste but that's impossible for you. You're never getting back that garbage art only normies liked.

Shut up Smashbabby.

It's basically only one shitposter saying the original looked bad. They've been in this thread for hours by the looks of things.

If it's just shinier graphics then no. I've already done that twice and one on the console.

The original story wasn't that good so who cares?

It's reimplementing originally scrapped content too. The original game had Bionis's Shoulder mapped out but it was only seen in a cutscene, while the final shot of the Definitive Edition shows Shulk and Melia there.

So it'll at least have one more area in it.

Eat shit, you fucking retard.

And the worst part about robot girls is Tiger Tiger.

The artstyle wasn't bad, the faces were just way too low quality. Smash shulk looks nothing like his game counterpart.

Yeah I agree how could people like such a soulless shitty art-style like the original. Redditors and normalfags were a mistake.

What exactly was generic anime about XB1. The childhood friend actually wins, the MC doesn't save the villain with the power of friendship, and the MC wasn't the chosen one or from a special bloodline. What was the last anime you watched that had that stuff? Be specific and prove you're not a fucking retard who doesn't understand the words they use.

There's a easy mode senpai.

>Art Style

The original game looked alright at the time but has aged very poorly and the redesign from XB2 looks much more like the art assets they were drawing from

It's Fei, Klaus and Masuda(Xenosaga).

Shulk is the chosen one, that's why only he can wield Monado. Did you even play the game retard, it's generic as they come.

Pretending you're not a retarded faggot who doesn't know what he's talking about isn't going to work. Watching a few dubbed anime doesn't make you an old anime pro. Now name the last ani.e your watched where the childhood friend won, or shut the fuck up and stop pretending you know what generic anime cliches are.

Whatever 90s action shows got dubbed and aired in your shithole country when you were a kid. Why can't you just name the last few anime you've seen where the childhood friend wins? If it's such a generic thing, you shouldn't have problems giving examples.

Yeah it is. It's a actually funny though how you can't handle this one facet of truth but at least you very much admit the story is generic anime garbage anyway. I feel bad for people who haven't played a good jrpg before they think this slop is "good"

You're right. It's a generic cliche.

Is it really uncommon? I haven't watched any anime recently but the flat (and often tsundere) childhood friend was always the winner instead of the pretty chick who is honest with her feelings. Who wins now?

You forgot the Triggershit.

Asa win in Shuffle yet they were still clearing wanting the MC's dick. Did she not win too?

Yeah, fuck me. Tried to make the list as cancerous as possible, still did a pretty good job without google if I say so myself.
