Why didn't they just stick to the style of the top but with better graphics

Top one looks like dogshit

Another demake. Hard pass.

gotta go moeblob like all the other games

That's like having your cake and eating it too.
Bottom is better graphics.

But the remake still looks like a game from more than a decade ago because of switch.

ask dark souls

Because it looks bad.

can you game starving pc fags stop posting screenshots from your bug infested terrible running emulated games?

Sadly this. People got lured in with this pathetic waifupandering and they wouldnt even look at the original Xenoblade if it doesnt look like animetrash as well.

Dark Souls never got a remake.

I kinda don't want the Xenoblade X port to happen anymore

because everything needs to look like generic modern anime for some reason now

1. The game even back then looked like shit
2. Using the X2 engine, they can go for the aesthetic they wanted originally
3. This adds more content that was cut from the original game
4. It didnt sell well then and it sold in a limited capacity on 3DS. This is now on a mainstream console fuckloads of people have and considering his inclusion in smash will get people to actually buy it.

The game actually has a character designer now so they want to go with that style.

That's what this is essentially
The muddy models are SIGNIFICANTLY watered down versions of what the art was going for

Wait a minute, they replaced the art with the shitty one from XC2?

Thank you, that makes sense.
Seeing these comparisons, it's amazing how old the Wii version truly is. It almost looks like a late GC game.

They replaced the art with the shitty one from XC2 which retroactively makes the ending of XC2 with the XC1 face a lot less meta

That's because the Wii was just an overclocked GC.

They did.

Just play on dolphin

I'll admit Xenoblade 2 had awful facial and mouth animations and it looks like that'll transfer over to this game.

XC2 was rushed to market for 2017 so they could keep their one game a month thing going in the first year. I'm hoping this game is more polished with the facial animations, it's working off of an existing game, engine, and has more time to work with.

I'm gonna wait until we see more, but I do admit that this looks a little less emotive in the XC2 engine as it stands, especially for how powerful this scene is.

Because there's a difference between a criticism and a reductionist characterization of a piece of media's appeal and its audience.

How? All the emotion in that scene comes from the voice acting, not the facial animations.
If the voice acting is the same, it'll be the same

Face blind autists in here. The original style was very unique and dare I say slightly more western looking. The new style could be any JRPG.

>people think that "soul vs soulless" is a meme
there is a reason nuWolfenstein and DOOM are way worse than the older ones. Newer graphics just makes the games play worse and it makes it feel like less of a game. The remake doesn't look that bad, but I prefer the old look.

because the Wii U was more powerful but people don't want to admitted it.

I liked the battle system, and the individual blade quest lines and designs, to some extent the characters too, but I didn't like the story at all, specially near the end, started decent enough tho.

>his art style is generic
I say that about everything I don't care about.

This but unironically.

And how exactly did the original version NOT look like anime?

It is generic, why you Xeno fags worship him is beyond me.

Xenoblade 1 is series of shonen tropes done very well. Highly predictable but never fails to get your blood pumping for the big scenes. Far far less of the "Japanese humor" of 2 if that was your problem

How is it generic? Because you shit yourself into a rage about it?

>the artist creating the worlds perfectly match XC1 artstyle
It's disgusting seeing non artist brainlets brag about how better the new character models look. They're disgusting compared to everything else and create a contrast with the world they obviously dont fit in.
Is it because theyre incels and gamers? Or do they just have shit tastes like most anime fans do?

>Is this game actually good? or is it "good" like 2 as in bad, save me some money.
I liked 2 a lot personally, same with X
However, 1 is the safest entrypoint for newcomers, not just for Xenoblade but for JRPGs in general. Its story is really well paced and the first third is really exciting and interesting and well foreshadowed.
It looks like the world design will be even better in the remake and the combat and progression systems were pretty straightforward as I remembered them.

Thanks for the honest responses.

Why are you trying to win the argument by posting the scenery? Lots of animes have backgrounds like that.

Dolphin is one of the most accurate emulators there is, user, It's even good enough for the smash autists.

The footage in the trailer looked solid
>XB1 WASNT ANIME
>shows image of landscape and not character designs
I will never understand people who insist this.

It's more than a remaster since the redid all the assets and added content. It's closer to a remake.

Unh... Is that some ebin texture mod? Because I played Xenoblade on Dolphin with no kids and it doesn't look like that.

There's nothing distinct about it, its just your run of the mill anime style from 90s to 00s. It looks no different than what you would find in a "how to draw anime" book.
It looks especially terrible nowadays, just look at XC2 Firoa, she's looks like a partially melted moeblob.

Because admitting a Japanese game with Japanese-style human characters is anime would make them scream and fart themselves to sobbing sleep.

>redid all the assets
Wrong.

Ah yes, the "It's one overall style therefore it's exactly the same!" train of thought. By that logic Looney Tunes, Pixar, and Ralph Bakshi all look the exact same because they're American animation.

I am not shitposting when I say I hope they remove assloads of the sidequests. Get rid of any kill/collect X quests, in general any that are worthless in terms of character and worldbuilding, and just buff EXP on those that remain.

One more reason to not buy a Switch, thanks Monolith Soft.

Well it also jsut seems really childish thinking that everything associated with a given genre is bad because there are examples of things they don't like from that genre.
They would rather insist they know the intent of the creator of something better than to just admit they like something that's anime.

agreed.
Or maybe just rework those to be more interesting or have more variety
Also, are they every going to tell us who is setting up all those colonies on the bionis? Who's numbering them?

Not him but the new remake models isnt a GOOD Anime artstyle.
It seems made more for catering inbreds

This.

You're on Yea Forums, everyone here thinks that if they act contrarian and rage at everything even remotely popular then they're somehow special unique snowflakes instead of the "normies".

Ah yes, "I personally dislike something therefore it's catering to freak and geeks and beaks".

If something isn't unique, its generic.

>NOOOO!!!!!
>THE GAME WAS FORCING ME TO DO SIDEQUESTS, I COULDN'T JUST IGNORE THEM!!!!!

Not really because your mindset isn't one of your taste as much as it's part of a counter-culture.
Contrarianism, as a culture, proves that people who dislike something on the basis of it's popularity aren't alone and therefore not so special or unique

>I'm gonna change the topic because I cant really disprove anything you say
The absolute state of modern anime "intellectuals"

It's just the way I play these games bro.
You never know when there's some good narrative in a side quest unless you do it.

Depends heavily on the game, but I'd disagree with you in general, as a huge fan of Dolphin who uses it almost daily. Some games run better (especially when you have the game on a SSD and use FastDiscSpeed, or in games that can benefit from overclocking. Phantasy Star Online has like 10% of the load times when you do this, and Metroid Prime has pretty much no load waiting at doors), but most will run about the same or very slightly worse. Xenoblade Chronicles has intermittent skipping in the first half hour or so of play each time you start it up (I'm not certain, but it seems to be the first time any model is rendered, it skips, but every time after that it's fine), but runs very smoothly thereafter. It also is a function of resolution, as I only really get these skips at 4K.

It doesn't have to be exactly copying another style, but its a fucking problem when they take away the very unique style of the original game and replace it with generic trash. No one would give nearly as much of a shit if the game had a generic style from the start.

There's plenty others to mention, I just went with the first three off the top of my head.
Nobuyuki Fukumoto is another example of a unique style.

>melia looks at your dick in HD

It looks weird because the hd textures don't seem to actually try very hard to replicate the look of the original textures, the eyelashes/lines are not nearly as thick for one and immediately throws the features off when they're slapped onto a face that still retains the 3D geometry

Apples to oranges.

>Yea Forums is so contrarian theres people actually defending the old xenoblade graphics

Bridges the gap between XC2 and the original’s artstyle, and acts as an opportunity to lure people into the series who weren’t interested in starting with the second game or being scared off since its a little out there. I think it looks quite a bit better but I understand where people are coming from. Adding cut content is fucking based though and absolutely seals the deal for me, Monolithsoft seems to be the only group working at Nintendo that consistently delivers these days. Really hope it works well in handheld mode this time around though, it’s a miracle XC2 came out as well as it did because it’s pretty obvious the compromise was fucking no time put into optimization whatsoever.

Retards. The "artwork" in the original weren't even drawn. They upscaled the 3D models and added some details. Takahashi even admitted it.

Huh? The original game had really fucking emotionless expressions for pretty much all of the game no matter the tone of the actual voice

But then who was character design?

Not to be that guy, but that looks like something from FFX. A, you guessed it, ps2 game.

New 3d models also lack some of the details of the original even if the original had wii textures. Just look at , his face looks flat, no lips, less shadowing, etc.

The armor design guys. Outfits were created first and then the characters came after.

They were aiming for the style of the remake back there, you moron. Thanks to the Wii graphical limitations and the scope of the game as a whole, the quality of the character models had to be toned down and we got that horrible mess in the original game. Now they can actually make the game look like how they wanted.

I love how emulators make Nintendo fanboys more mad than all the banter Sony fanboys create against them.

I can't believe we're at the point where Yea Forums is calling a fully modeled face with proper facial features that have actual depth, and hair with individually modeled strands, flatter than a literal flat texture for everything, just because it's more "anime."

Wow what a coincidence. The sour-grapers who spent two years going "UGH- I MEAN JUST UGH CAN YOU BELIEVE THE UGH ANIME CRINGE?" about XC2 think XC1 is anime cringe as well now that it's coming to a relevant Nintendo console.

New content and not looking like ass isn't enough?

Wii textures try to emulate occlusion since it would be too difficult to implement.

XC remake removes it completely. To anyone who isn't a weeb, the fact that everything in the environment occludes light, except the faces is very immersion breaking.

No,is not enough.
Also how many times "definitive versions" are actually worse than the original?

It looks like even more ass, and one location id not justification for full price for the third time.

They've only redone some of the assets, at some points the heads look different but the bodies/weapons look the same but with new textures.

I liked XBC 1 and 2 quite a bit, but I would absolutely kill a bitch nigger for some kind of Gears release. It doesn't even need to be a full remake. Just the same game beat for beat with better graphics. A fixed 2nd half would be ideal, but I'd survive without it.

2 is arguably better than 1.

2 is a bit better though. it doesn't matter much, they're both Top 10 jRPG material.

Because the old character models are ugly.

It's either the original artist updating the character designs to match the new rendering method from Xenoblade 2 or it's Xenoblade 2's artist doing new designs.

now this is soul

Pretty sure Takahashi isn't directing this remake, or just from far away, but he definitely left some notes to his newly hired recruits for their training on the engine.

Its a shame the made it look more anime instead of the storybook style

>The only really noticeable change is the lighting and the width of the mouthes
The eyes seem pretty similar in shame and proportion, the hair is almost identical, even the jawline and noses are similar
It's mainly a lighting difference, though it does seem like the noses don't protrude as much

Except that's not true
It seems like a 40/60 split of people who like it vs dislike it
It had issues but I liked it more than XB1's models, it was more expressive on the whole

Characters look younger and lighting is shit with this engine, otherwise the models are fine.

But 2 wins out for me

I'm basically treating XB1DE as a new game with new content.

No dude there's clearly different art style.

Shulk being in Smash brought the worse of the Xenoblade fanbase

I'd rather play the 3DS version then play the "definitive edition" that changes the artstyle to be MORE anime looking then it already was. Just like XC2, it looks like a generic anime game now, at least the old style gave it a bit of uniqueness despite its poor textures.

He's probably around mostly to oversee the Zohar stuff they cut originally, since people seemed to digest it all pretty well in XB2, and Alvis/Ontos inter-dimensional shenanigans.
Also, cute thighs.

The biggest pleb filter
Just buy/emulate the original

because it was a Wii exclusive that still looked pretty garbage, and also took a while to come west (it was one of the games for Operation Rainfall, initially), so not too many people played it, especially since Shulk's inclusion in smash wasn't until the Wii U Smash, where there was only XCX. Also, cut content is being added in.

Not saying "I'd play the 3DS version over just emulating the Wii version" but I'd rather play that laggy low res shit over some shitty "definitive edition" that doesn't stay true to the originals artstyle.

Because then Smashbabs wouldn't recognize him

Like with XB2, this makes up a fraction of the actual gameplay

They don't even look like the same characters anymore. Who are those nigs

lmao retarded fag

He's also like fucking -16-
Dude's not even a fucking adult yet and he's gotta deal with love drama, memory wipes, and two homosexuals after his cock in different manners.

This negro is correct.The first time I played XBC1 was emulating it on my toaster from 2006. There's no excuse to be complaining. The original is so accessible

Cringey faggot

I miss the old style

It's still the same. It's just that all aspects of the characters are now clearly defined now. And obviously, they're going to be much more expressive instead of having deadfish eyes and lips that flap around in every cutscenes.

It's not
All the Xenoblade games are pretty good, it's good that they have access to a series that gives JRPGs a solid reputation after all the damage FFXIII did

Imagine being involved in Operation Rainfall and seeing one of the IPs go on to become Nintendo's de facto RPG series, get represented in Smash, and even get a full remake of the original game you had to campaign for so long ago that even restores cut content, but instead of discussing and getting excited about it everyone else just wants to fling shit everywhere and complain about anime ruining the series

Actual question
I've been meaning to play the original Xenoblade for some time now, but I've just never done it.
But with this trailer my question is should I just go ahead and Emulate it now on Dolphin and start playing it? Or would it actually be better to wait for it on the switch and play it there?
Is the new art style good or bad? Does it just have more soul if it's played on the original?
I'd just like to get started or get started on waiting.

Attached: 1480983846778.png (395x387, 246K)

actually, it's not a port, it's a soft remake reboot. a makeboot remaster-lease, if you will. I'd try to explain the intricacies to you, but it might be a bit much. all you need to know is you're wrong and your mom is fat.

>b-b-but low res boob jiggle is much more profound than high res boob jiggle

My gosh you're retarded. You suggested it was either the XBC1 artist redoing his work, or the XBC2 artist reimagining the original work. You know what that means? You don't know who the fucking artist is. I was merely suggesting it could be Tanaka, but the truth is no one knows for sure at this juncture. Go choke on your mommy's feminine penis.

It's not like I can't play other games in the meantime.

>Is the new art style good or bad?
That's subjective and for you to decide, as for the rest I'd say wait just because this will have more content that was cut from the original game.

Rekt 'im

I'd wait for the remake.
I personally prefer the original art style, but the style in the remake isn't terrible and it looks like they're re-adding some cut content to the game along with adding some new armor and stuff - so it's probably going to be worth the wait.

Is Shadow of the Colossus a good comparison? It wasn't a port, and yet it wasn't a full on remake either.

This version has added cut content, wait for it.

Whatever you do, pirate the game. Don't support this cash grab remaster.

Just wait, it's being called a remake and having actual new texture and model work done. They may add more content and improve things.
The original style was a jumbled mess and whichever you prefer is up to you.

Attached: victor pensive.jpg (1280x720, 74K)

sotc got both a remaster and a remake afaik.

No, I'm just not certain who the artist is entirely, I know it's not Tanaka, most likely of the two who it could be it's Xenoblade 2's artist. It's 100% not Tanaka.

Where is that image originally from? I can't remember at all.

Meanwhile Pandora's Tower gets jackshit and The Last Story was shit anyway.

the new models look better in-game, but i prefer the original artworks

>it's being called a remake
The official Xenoblade twitter calls it a remaster, so I'm not so sure about that.

More like a year at worst actually. The progress on Yuzu keeps getting faster and faster, this is incredible but not surprising thanks to documented stuff for the tegra chip.

that's what they were saying a year ago, and I'm still fucking waiting

It was generic looking anime in the first place, you fucking mongoloid. What you're bitching about about is that it looks more "Moe" even then, they still retain the same characteristics in factual structures, costumes, and keep to their original proportions.

You're probably the kind of idiot who bitches about Pikachu having a more athletic build to match his fighting style

>Quick reminder we're finally getting the Zohar in XC1, as it was intended.
I feel like this the thing that everyone is overlooking the most. The game will no longer be Monado: Beginning of the World and will finally become Takahashi's Xenoblade Chronicles.

I really enjoyed The Last Story in spite of it's flaws, but the devs behind it who fucking knows, they are making games for Apple now, they were interested in supporting Switch, but only with ports of their Terra Battle phone games, so fuck em, if they don't want to try, I don't want to buy. Pandoras Tower Definitive would be good though.

I hope Monolith Soft finally fucking makes some kind of Riki merchandise for this remake and stops hoarding all the nopon plushies for themselves.

it'll have cut content

It will have some restored cut content, and possibly have the ending change a bit to better fit within the narrative Xenoblade 2 established like a few anons were discussing above. So waiting isn't a bad move money-wise.

But if you don't want to play the spoiler dodging game for a game that's 10 years old, I suggest you just get it now.

So what is this going to be? Just a HD remake? Or is there added content? And if yes, what? Just more stupid grind quest?

Because that would be hard and modern people are incredible lacy

The quality is so bad for what you have to pay for them

So the bottom is the real power of PC

It's an HD remaster with added areas that were cut from the original.

ok, but Xenoblade X on Switch when?

I wouldn't mind if the Bionis and Mechonis figures got sold seperately like in . I would happily pay however much they cost because they're some of my favorite designs in Xeno as a whole. The only problem is that they would sell like shit without the waifu bonus.

Shit, meant to reply to

I would love figures of all the Xenoblade titans to be honest. Bionis and Indol are my favourite designs.

It's just like Arin from Game Grumps with every 3D Zelda pre BoTW. Just can't take any of their opinions on those games seriously. It's kind of shitty that impressionable youths in their audience honestly believe some games are objectively shit just because a Youtuber said it.
Dunkey isn't quite as bad because he at least goes in trying to like the games but he should really just stop doing videos on JRPGS.

Unfortunately, a Metal Face one is probably all we'll get because of his Smash presence and him being in a lot of promo material.

its no doubt more than just added areas, you can see shulks monado looks different and both him and mellia are wearing shit that was never in the original game

I relay don't know how anyone can look at Xenoblade 1's art style anymore and not immediately want to throw up. Even X's art style was an improvement over it. 2's art style is a further improvement but the Definitive Edition art style is the absolute best they don't look like ugly down syndrome potatoes anymore.

>we know that Nia suffered more in her life than Melia
Fuck no. The first thing we see happen to Melia is her losing her friends. Then she sees her family either betray her, die, or be turned into horrible monsters before her eyes. Most of her people turned into those same monsters, and her home is now infested by them. She's the empress of a ruined kingdom, and is going to have to slaughter hundreds of the walking dead just to think about rebuilding.
Nia had a hard life, but not on that level.

I think its safe to say Nia suffered more before she really bonded with the party, while Melia suffered more afterwards.
