well, of course it looks better because the characters originally looked ugly.
but to answer your question. no.
No, but it's the first time in a long time that a remaster had some actual effort put into it, it's closer to a remake in terms of jump in visual quality. This is a definitive edition of a niche game that sold less than 1 million units over it's lifetime, and it's an 80 hour JRPG, smaller games where the remasters will sell that well never get this much effort.
REmake
that's a remake, not a remaster
look at this chad

NO.
IT'S REYN TIME BABY

I just hope it's nothing like recent Final Fantasy remasters.
>make nice faces for story relevant characters
>90% of other characters in the game look like shit
But seeing how background looks nice in this remaster, I doubt that will be the case.
It looks okay but it's not a straight upgrade. And the colors are off.
yikes
Kys yourself
This looks like a remake as well
they got some things right at least
Yeah, I prefer the slightly more realistic aproach here. I love anime doll boys.
>Green eyes
>Blue eyes
>Better
Not really, no.
Fuck off and die Sonic autist
It will be better if she stays dead.
no, and this game looks about as ugly as the original anyway. higher-quality models and textures aren't enough to fix this franchise's horrendous art direction.
Top soulless

>remaster
You retards realize this is on a new engine with entirely new assets right? It's a remake
Will they fix Sharla?
Will they fix Melia/Shulk AI?
リマスター版
Yes. XB2 had a soulless artstyle but they somehow made it work for this remake
What’s the difference between a remake, remake, and the like?
Stop pretending that loanwords always mean the exact same thing as the original.
Since this is going to have more animation, what additions do you want?
Top screenshot isn't the original game though, I'm pretty sure it's that shitty HD texture pack that manages to make the characters look worse.
Uncle Dumdum is cool I give them that
Gotta keep in mind that all of the characters have all kind of armor options.
Oh, you know what'd be fantastic? Cosmetic/vanity armor options. No more clown armor, or absurd looking heavy armor.
Most remasters look better than the original if you arent blinded by nostalgia. You are probably one of those people who unironically thinks the crash and spyro remakes actually look worse.
transmog like in XCX would be nice as well
what are some remakes that use that word?
the first things I'm finding are the FF8 and Romancing Saga 3 remasters

Port is taking a game and moving it to another platform. A remaster is touching up an old game using excited code/assets. A remake is doing it all again.
There are remasters that get improved assets, m8.
I hope that they let us skip these painfully long visions.
If they're redoing the models like that, then this isn't a remaster, it's more of a remake.
>wasting time on a remaster instead of making x-2
i hate it
>not putting Fiora in her soldier armor for the attack on Colony 9
Casual.
I hope they give us an option to disable Vision Reacts entirely. I really got sick of it cucking me from hearing the good music.

No, plenty of remakes/remasters do, Yea Forums is just contrarian retards who will nitpick 1 thing being wrong when 99 other things are improved

Yikes
What? I think it looks great.
Literally soul vs soulless
I'm not talking about that picture specifically, the comparison where the new colors bother me the most is actually the one of Shulk looking at the dragonfly. I hate how bright his hair is.
why do generic anime artstyles never work in 3d?
does it have JP voices though?
I just want a hard confirmation on the Bionis Shoulder already. Fuck!
Who gives a shit its still anime garbage
This, literally the first game that made me seriously consider buying a Sbitch, and it's a goddamn remaster. Jesus.
fwiw the Dolphin version with all the texture packs and little upgrades is already an HD version of the original. I'm glad they're aiming for a slightly different artstyle entirely desu.
Any reason why it wouldn't?
Even backwards ass companies like Sega know to put multiple voice tracks.
>my only experience was playing Xenoblade at 240p
I'm pretty fucking hyped even if they aren't adding the Shoulder, event though that's what it looks like. I would have settled for a remaster honestly.
Reyn looks like a Baki character there.
>fwiw the Dolphin version with all the texture packs and little upgrades
Looks fucking terrible.
I was going to get the Switch for XC2, but this has made that game obsolete.
>all these people who doesn't think it looks better
What a bunch of jokers.
XC2 is still fun, different though and kind of shit until Chapter 5. The end of the game is a fucking ride.
No evidence for this has been shown for this to be true, you cannot tell by eyeballing it, shut the fuck up
If nintendo doesn't license a Bionis/Mechanis figure, I riot.
>everyone
Only westfags that still deny that XC is an extremely shonen anime game. Japan doesn't care what you fags think.
Kill yourself yourself?
>generic souless modern anime style
>good

AW SHIT I DROPPED THE MONADO DOWN THE STAIRS
They can't do this! They just can't increase the smug levels to this degree.
No censoring right?
I fucking can tell by eyeballing it. I can tell from the glossiness that it's running on XCX/XC2's engine.
If it's not included on the cart it will most likely be free dlc on eshop like with 2.
There's no way they'll censor Seven's robit butt.
Retard.

>still using seven

Old habit. I guess it hardly matters when Smash has spoiled it since Smash 4.
well look at this 7
Who's ready for newfags to complain about drop rates for Ice Cabbages and Liver Beans?
I've been laughing at this picture for the past two minutes
holy shit
Because the 3DS version didnt.
Can we have a new generation of anime that abolishes this one tone color used for skin. Seriously bottom looks like it was drawn by a 3rd grader.
Then again, that's the audience they are targetting.
Plenty of remasters/remakes look better
The art style changes will always piss people off though, like XC DE is using a more anime art style instead of more realistic like the original
they'll probably make the rates higher and then add some new bullshit that takes up 50 more hours of gametime, a la Ursula's quest in XB2
Yea Forums has defended the censorship since the wii release.
now enjoy your reyn time and metal face because colors and religious mentions are racist.
From ok videogame model given the resources they had to generic emo anime shit.
Not that I'm expecting switchtards to have standards or anything.
What type of Artstyle was Vagrant Story?
Does anybody know? Also what other games aside from XBC1 that uses it?
The real question is what will they do with the Left shoulder? Will they properly connect Makna to Eryth Sea or will it just be a side area you can get to from one of them? That jump always confused me and I couldn't wrap my head around how the "sky" in Makna was actually just Eryth Sea.
>What type of Artstyle was Vagrant Story?
A GOAT one.

It's the eyes, they got the them so wrong by not accounting for the shape and shadow.

youtube.com
This is my ASMR
Xeno series has always been anime from the start
If anyone complains, they should kill themselves
I loved exploring the Bionis and generally for the most of the game you can visualize where you are on it's body. That jump from Makna to Eryth Sea is weird, with the Forest being it's back, and the Sea on top of it's head, but then how was the Sea supposed to be Makna's sky? I could just never visualize it.
>turn unique art style into generic anime garbage
nice, gamer brains will eat this shit up
still ugly desu
>Kys
kill yourself reditor
same
Bionis Shoulder, the new area in the definitive edition, was originally supposed to be the bridge between Makna Forest and Eryth Sea. It's why the weird water ball transition between the two areas is so awkward - it's a last minute replacement for an entire cut area.
You can actually see the sea in Makna's sky, though. It looks distinctly different from the rest of the sky around it.
Why did the Wii version have the same artstyle as FF12 and Vagrant Story? They don't have the same artist, do they?
I'll have to go back and look (in 240p!). I know that's why it has the weird transition.
The ones that say that never played a Xeno game before Blade.
>Exploring Satorl Marsh at night with modern TVs and even better sound

They have different gameplay mechanics, and XB2's story and characters have different strengths and weaknesses than XB1's

Many thanks. I could've sworn there were more like it but I will check those out. Thank you user.
They shouldn't kill themselves, but they do need to grow up.
They're both so good though.
>in 240p
If you're playing the 3DS version that might explain why you can't see it. It's just a slight change in texture, nothing drastic. IIRC it's easiest to spot the contrast on one of the little balconies in Frontier Village.
>When Juju falls off a cliff while Sharla is waiting at home
fuckign can't wait lads
Fair enough. Day has such a cool dreary atmosphere though.
XB2 took a lot of things that shouldn't have worked but made them fit
It's a half-baked mess but it ended up being really enjoyable
Only redditera ironic weebs do that. Too bad they roam free on Yea Forums these days
I hope one day, Yuzu improves to the point where we can see if this work of art is still in the game.
Huh.
I pulled my Wii-U out of retirement to play XC, only got as far as the sci fi elf town. On the one hand it would be cool to see the game in something more than blistering SD, but at the same time I don't know if I could face replaying all that way.
It's amazing how they made a kind of bleached, desaturated area look so good. It seems like it's decaying yet still has beauty.
I know it's a swamp but it gives me such a dry winter feeling. Reminds me of winter when I was a kid and I love it.
Good fucking taste. The night is pretty and all, but the atmosphere in the day is fantastic and incredibly underrated.
Main thing that bothers me is how the character models are lit differently from the scene they're in. And I'm not talking the animu shading, but rather the ambient colour doesn't match. They're always brighter than the environment.
Vision react doesn't even serve anything useful in the gameplay anyway
Xenoblade 1:
>comfy fightan
>suddenly the game stops
>get a vision about enemy prepping up an attack
>fug, I have to react
any other jRPG in, existence:
>comfy fightan
>see from the enemy animation that's he's prepping up a big attack
>React to it without having the flow of the battle interrupted
It's a fucking useless gimmick that serves nothing, it's a mess in an already subpar battle system.

>We'll at least get new tracks by ACE for the Shoulder
Well, we'd get new tracks from them hopefully even for a brand new Xenoblade, but I'm hyped nonetheless
SUCK ON THIS
the XC2 artstyle is pretty different from the one shown for the remake, look at the eyes of the characters
Because it looked like moeshit like the rest of XC2, hope they keep the remaster's art for XC3 and not return to the terrible moe art.
>We'll at least get new tracks by ACE for the Shoulder
that's assuming they don't pull a colony 6 and reuse gaur plains or something
Why the fuck would you ever play Xenoblade in anything but English?
>Because it looked like moeshit like the rest of XC2
You xenoblade1onlyfags really are dense.
I wanna see this with good graphics.
>tanaka
>moeshit
>those seams on the sides of her legs
Disgusting.
meh
it looks nice but i dont think its captured the style of face of the original
the eyes almost look like they're painted onto the models
its so weird
The eye textures in the HD pack just get worse the more I look at them.
I hope they'll improve the cutscene direction like in XC2, for the story scenes. XC1 already had great cinematography when it mattered, Metal Face's scenes comes to mind, but I hope they won't cheapen out on the animations and have enough budget
That's because they are.
I dunno I kinda liked the potato faces. They were ugly but unique and communicated facial features well enough. It's better than the same anime face over and over again with slightly different colors and hairstyles, anyways.
yeah but the environments are what you care about if you're in ng+ or otherwise replaying
>dolphin+HD tex
>Better
Pick one
Remaster? This is basically an outright remake.
>the colors are off.
Fucking nerds, I swear!
I like both art styles, I wish they would have used this art for the rest of Xenoblade 2 which looked like generic anime trash compared to Shulk and Fiona's art in the same game, that game's art direction was so fucking inconsistent.
I edited a lot of textures myself trying to fix the texture pack. Meh, I thought it was more beneficial to use the HD pack and have some janky shit vs. the terrible low resolution blur of the original. It's amazing how bad the game looks compared to Xenosaga which is an older game on a less powerful system. Open world was a mistake.
>tfw you will never live in comfy Alcamoth surronded by cute birb girls
why live?
I figure the cutscenes will be the same, just with redone facial crap since the heads look entirely remodeled from the original, meaning being unable to recycle most of what was there from the original due to the style change.
a decent amount of them are racists who'd probably hate you, it wouldn't be that fun
>that game's art direction was so fucking inconsistent.
isn't it because the characters were all drawn by different artists?
pretty much
Greatest Of All Time.
Yeah
A lot of it was done by Saitom, and that was pretty solid for the most part
A lot of people had issue with clashing art styles due to the Rare Blades (aka, the optional party members) being translated 1-1 from their concept art to 3D.
Because it was

or is that just in japanese xb2
>I'LL KIIIL YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU
>being translated 1-1 from their concept art to 3D.
That just sounds like the art supervisor's fault if there's an inconsistency in the end result between employed artists?
Is it because I made you visualise a nice dick and you're uncomfortable with how aroused you are? Or is it that I made you feel insecure about your penis?
For real though this isn't your safe space snowflake.
They were apparently more focused on accurately adapting the art than making everything fit together. Takahashi even said that having to work with all the different styles was something they considered to be really good experience for their modelers.
I never had any problem with the optional Blades, maybe the artwork in the menu clashed, but their 3D model fits well into the world. Bare Vess. Always Vess.
Yeah, losing your life over a difference of opinion regarding an art style is a bit much.

Thats about it I think. Bluepoint is masterful.
I wouldn't argue against it being a good exercise for the modelers, but it leads to uneven presentation. Keep it all looking consistent, regardless of the style chosen. Imagine if Smash Bros' current roster wasn't all married under a unified style. It'd be a visual mess.
Would Xenoblade be dead in the ground if it hadn't been for it's limited US release?
You Are Mr. Gay.
Imagine your jizz flowing down the seems.
Yeah I know.
Well sure you are user. I was talking about a video game character, then you got upset.
Nah, Romancing SaGa 2 looks better than the original.
It would have been dead if Shulk didn't get into Smash.
>you will never have cute birb girls look at you with disgusted faces
again, why live?
>you will finally experience the hellscape of Xenoblade 1 dubfags getting shat on at every turn, on every thread, by contrarian Yea Forumsedditors until the dominant narrative shifts to the dub never having been good
I don't remember ever seeing Reyn's dick in the game, must've missed it.
Anyone got a lighting comparison to this?
Hopefully it has faster movement, I do not think i can go back to crafting all those agility gems for a minimal increase in character movement.
Lol out loud at you, dumbass
Is this just going to be a graphic update, or is it going to have gameplay improvements, too?
I already played the first one on Dolphin when it came out, so I'm kinda on the fence about it.
>There are people who actually played the game in fucking English
It looks phenomenally better but contrarians will pretend otherwise.
i never fell for the "lets hide monotone voice acting through thick english accents" meme.
>there will almost definitely be Pyra/,Mythra costumes in the game
user this is post-2014 Yea Forums, and Adam Howden is legit goid. The dub will persist as the fan favourite, even if I like the japanese more overall.
Pretty good.
The one thing I want from this remaster is for them to improve the designs of the equippable amour sets

You can’t just inject higher quality character models with more articulation etc into an already existing game and expect it to work. Look at the way his eyes and mouth move, that just wasn’t possible in vanilla XBC, this is definitely on a new engine
>There are people who played the game in Japanese and listened to Shulk's grading screechy voice instead of Adam Howden's absolutely god-tier performance
Not gonna lie I held off playing Xenoblade because Shulk looked like Playdough.
Now I will try it.
>improve the designs
In what way? More fanservice? Bolder colors? I thought most of them were fine, though some were a bit dull.
This, People harp on about how Smash is suppsoed to be about Nintendo icons, but if the series has been consistent about two things it's been keeping dead franchises in people's minds (Mother, F-Zero) or reviving something that was dead (Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Xenoblade)
The females look good in the remake, but the males look bad
>
I played it first on Wii and that only had the dub I think
Then I replayed it on Dolphin back when XB2 got announced with the japanese dub and it's amazing how much Howden and the dub performances carry most of that game's emotional beats.
Reminds me of what a friend told me about writing dialogue for a novel vs a screenplay: in a novel, you have to determine how each person does and says what they do and say. But in a screenplay, you leave some wiggle room in the dialogue for the actor to fill in the void and create the persona of the character.
Please record your disappointment and upload it to Youtube. Nia was a one time thing, and it's not even confirmed to be romantic.
Yeah, there's no indication that the XB1 engine was capable of actual facial animations, and you can't just kludge that shit into an old engine for free. They likely just ported level geometry and some textures into the Torna engine and made new character models from scratch.
The armors are largely hideous nonsense.
They were shit because most of them except the Makna and Riki's sets fucked up the basic rule of good armor sets in games: if a character is meant to have a distinct silhouette or hallmarks, maintain them through all their armors
Case in point, Dunban's shoulder cape. It's a nice addition that reminds you of his asymmetric capabilities, and only one or two armor sets ever bothered keeping that aspect from his original outfit.
Or Sharla's two-piece, or Shulk's vest and shorts combo.
>The armors are largely hideous nonsense.
Yeah they only look good on Reyn and even his Medium stuff is better.
>Yeah, there's no indication that the XB1 engine was capable of actual facial animations
You never played XB1.
FE and Xenoblade weren't dead though.
>actual facial animations
What does this even mean? Did you even play the fucking game?
You're out of your goddamn mind. FFXII has the same problem of muppet facial animations. Nobody can fucking emote because they don't have real eyes and the mouths have almost no stretching or deformation. Lose the nostalgia glasses and look at some cutscenes on youtube. This is one of the most consistent criticisms of the game from release.
the fucking helmets on his heavy armor
FE would never have come to the West and Xenoblade X probably wouldn't have come to America.
I didn't notice every single one of these actually DOES preserve some asymmetry for his arm, but most still fuck up how noticeable it should be.
Looks a lot like WoW classic sets, lol.
I'd take MYFIRSTKISS face over generic animu face any day.
I think sharla's armor is the most "what the fuck". It's just a mess.
>Fapping to overwatch waxdoll like character
Thats one smug Fiora
Start again? dunbass
great now shulk looks like a kid just like rex
I hope they let you choose to have the look of other armor no matter what you have equipped.
i think the new model is generic as fuck and uninspired, the Wii models at least had a unique artstyle and they had handpainted textures, and that shows when comparing the hair
Xenoblade X did it so maybe.
Xenoblade X had cosmetic slots so I'd imagine they add it to this. I was sayin in another thread how you could look really fucking stupid at times and it would really detract from serious story moments.
So I wana play this but I don’t wana buy a Switch. Do you bing-bings know if there’s a new console coming soon or should I just bite the bullet and get this one?
look at this fucking mechon otaku
Wait how the hell did Shulk managed to meet Rex? Did they have this in the original game? How did they know about Rex all the way back then?
For me, It's the McChicke- I mean Uraya.

For me, it's Valak Mountain at night
I would rather run around with mismatch armour sets looking like we put on random Halloween costumes then wear complete sets of this
I disagree with this, i like the realism of wearing shit rags and be low defense and having to wear an actual fucking armor to defend yourself
A DLC combat arena that probably isn't even canon. Don't worry about them knowing each other, or Elma for that matter.

All the dialogue/voice acting is just the same as from the original
Did anyone else find Temperantias theme really, really grating?
I mean, the first time you go in there and you have to fight that giant ass spider titan mech its alright but then the music is always playing afterwards
its probably the worst song in the game
They all look like they just realized something horrible
I genuinely regret getting a ps4. I should've gotten a switch. I want to get this remake, luigis mansion. astral chain, mario odysey, and more
Well that is from when they first meet Rikki
Yeah it was clearly composed to fit the mood of the story visit but it just feels out of place when you come back. Even worse is there's no night variant.
Yeah, by the end of the game I fucking hated it. At the very least, Temperantia needed a calmer night theme to break up the monotony of the intense regular theme.
It's nice to have a bit of realism in your fantasy games for contrast
I think heavy armors look cool, specially in Sharla
Riki is an exception, he looks stupid and/or cute on any armor
You can own more than one console.
Just play all those one PC in a year. You do own a PC right? Otherwise owning a Switch would be pretty silly, you would be missing every major release from Ace Combat to Monster Hunter.
>It's nice to have a bit of realism in your fantasy games for contrast

It looks better than the original though?, which is whats important
if they just remade it instead of remastering it, it'd look just like the bottom pic but slightly higher res
Howden being good doesn't excuse the rest of the whole supporting cast being okay to subpar. Besides I'm an eurofag, I had absolutely no reason to play it with the English voice, and XC1 getting dual audio back then was refreshing since it was rare as fuck, we were always stuck with your shit english dubs.
XCX on switch whens?
You mean literally the end of the game? Or do you mean when she's no longer brainwashed?
>literally no morag/niall /ss/ content
Just remembered I screencapped some Japs Blossom Dance posting, made me smile.
I meant like at the end of the game when they're like "we can just regrow your human parts" and then she stops being a robot
I don't want Xenogears or Xenosaga remakes because they are both shit.
>I had absolutely no reason to play it with the English voice
When they use dubtitles you might as well just use the English dub, you have just as much chance to know what they're saying in Japanese.
ON HIGH DEFINITION AND PORTABLE MODE (WITH BONUS CUT CONTENT)
My biggest concern is that if they use the Xenoblade 2 engine does this means that your equipment won't show in the overworld and cutscenes?

> My biggest concern is that if they use the Xenoblade 2 engine does this means that your equipment won't show in the overworld and cutscenes?
What? Why wouldn't it? Modified outfits DO show up in XCB2. Although not having these terrible clown suits would be a net positive in my books.
Your "Wii version" picture is of the shitty fan-made HD mod though.
Engine has nothing to do with this. Takahashi said in an interview he wanted the characters to have distinctive features like bright colors (red, blue, yellow) to make sure you could tell them apart perfectly while roaming the world and battling. This is the reasoning behind their design, and to an extent, to why they didn't include changing armors. And it's a very good reasoning, actually, especially with how heavy in characters on screen XC2's battles are.
>BIONIS SHOULDER
Is this confirmed?
Shulk is already shown with 2 different equipment sets. XC2 engine is capable of visually changing your party's equipment as evidenced by the cosmetic items you could equip, the engine is also most certainly an improved version of XCX's.
If XC2 didn't have armors that are visually shown was probably because they had to made like 70 Blades instead which was much more work.
That was one reason for their base designs iirc, but the truth is they spent most their customization resources on rare blades
Use your eyeballs user, they show it in the trailer at the end.
It's where Shulk and Melia are standing in the trailer dumbass.
I like changing armors since it's fun to have the party in swimsuits in cutscenes for no reason
kek, came to post this, gj user
It's been 8 fucking years since I've played this game, cut me some slag.
It's been 8 years for me too, get a better memory bitch.
that smug is too powerful
>cut me some slag
don't worry it's a diamond dozen these days in this doggy dog world
If only you were browsing some kind infinite information resource that has images of the cut content from the original release, and could somehow compare it to new footage. Lazy faggot
The shoulder isn't in the original game though, so it's not like knowing that has any real correlation to when you played the game.
XC2 had garbage cutscene direction though. It had pretty good animation, but the direction was shit. None of the battles had any weight to them, it always looked like characters were just going through the motions of fighting with no real purpose. Compare your superficial webm to the intense emotional drama of Dunban fighting Mumkhar, or the battle at Prison Island.
THIS'LL LEAVE A MARK
SHAKER EDGE
And he's also like Ocelot.
I love it.
Everyone did
Even more grating given how little was happening
People will get angry about this post but the style’s grown on me pretty fucking hard. Link still looks pretty fucking bad but everything else feels very wondrous and dreamlike which I imagine is what they were going for. If it’s 60fps the whole way through I’ll pick it up, seems like a fun time.
No it’s bewbs
Temperantia was just the worst. Ugly as fuck, a bunch of boring empty nothing, shit music, the worst hidden area in the entire Xenoblade franchise.
And then they had the opportunity to redeem it all by making it relevant in the DLC and showing us how its landmarks got their names, but instead it was completely forgotten.
>most hotblooded snow level theme of all time
Ahem, not quite. Even in its own genre.
youtube.com
youtube.com
fuck, now I want to replay okami
The Okami song is more hotblooded, but the YS one is a bit slow.
I'm going to reserve judgement until I see Fiora's ass.
>Goes from having nice ZR to perfect ass & cleaveage
Based Japs
It shits on the original artstyle
why do meliafags even exist?
They think suffering is a good replacement for looks and personality
Hold up wtf metal gear collection isn't on steam
I still call it that one of the bonus features will be the challenge arena and you can use Rex and Nia as characters there.
I didn't know the Big Dick would betray me, I thought he was going to join the party in the end as a late game character.
He was such an entertaining villain, great VA aswell (but then again all the voices were pretty unique - Japanese i mean)
>not expecting that the guy going around saying "CAN'T SAY I FEEL SO GREAT ABOUT LYING TO THESE KIDS" and knowing way more than he should was going to be evil
I still had hope it would be a turn around and not like Mumkar.
XC2 has a kino artstyle. Only insecure retards dislike it. I can't imagine how stuck up and jaded must a person be to not enjoy looking at Rex in his little salvaging outfit. Pure comfiness.
I was hoping for a Citan where he'd be hiding things but still not be evil
Not that user but the main issue I have is that Rex looks different in concept art than he does in game
It may just be a case of the expressions he shows in game but there’s something more mischievous about him in fanart that’s missing from his in-game appearances
I can't say that I liked XB2's 'artstyle' because it barely had a consistent one in the first place. I can say that I liked the way they translated Nomura's art to 3D a lot more than the way it's been adapted in recent FF/KH games, I guess.
Other than that I liked most of the protagonist/villain designs that weren't Rex/Pyra and to a lesser degree Mythra. Those three were just bad.
It’s fitting but I agree, it’s fucking grating. I don’t think it’s a bad track, more that it’s super easy to get sick of.
I just hope it’ll have dual audio, I hate the British dub. It always sounds shit.
>there’s something more mischievous about him in fanart that’s missing from his in-game appearances
all that really means is that the fans are drawing him out of character
it's like complaining that Pyra doesn't act like enough of a horny mommy dom compared to fanart
And this is why Switch version always wins
It also needs proper subs, not just dubtitles.
holy fuck that looks bad, My sides.
>buzz word buzz word I dont know how Chads can dislike this ugly artstyle!
they need to finally start subbing shit outside of cutscenes as well
you couldn't understand half of the crap people were saying in xb2's battles
Also has cut content so it really is a definitive edition.
My biggest problem with Xenoblade 2’s art was how off the faces of characters like Rex, Pyra, Mythra and Nia looked a lot of the time, usually in the cutscenes with lesser quality animation. Pyra’s and Mythra’s tits also looked awkwardly sticking out. They definitely looked better in the 2D.
Apart from that and its general lack of polish, it was kino. Loved how the environments, weapons, machinary and architecture looked, and the colour design was on point.
I love Shadows on the Lowlands, especially the night version.
Reyn looks like he's seen something he can never unsee.
I have both, but I fucking regret my PS4 purchase too. I ended up dropping Persona 5 which was the reason I got the damn thing in the first place and all the other exclusives have ranged from boring to just okay. Never getting memed into buying a console again.
You 2 are WAY to rational for this board or site. Please get out of here while you still can. Before they take all your decency away.
I only bought a PS4 for a handful of exclusives. I did the same with 360. As meh as PS4 is, I don't regret it, because I wanted to play Bloodborne, Utawarerumono, Last Guardian, next Vanillaware game,etc.
Switch is great, haven't had this much fun with a console since PS2.
Is it switch only? Any chance for PC?
I think he's still pretty mischievous
>redone Klaus experiment to match with XC2
>possibly a more exposition on Alvis (confirming he is/was Ontos and therefore a Blade)
>Hopefully some sort of new superboss (Malos, a Titan?)
that's not how remakes work retard
Nope. Monolith is owned by Nintendo.
whenever yuzu can emulate it
who knows when that will be
>puts reflective shit on his face
>but not the shoes
fail
>confirming he is/was Ontos and therefore a Blade
Ontos fucked off before Blades were even a thing. He might share some similarities with them by virtue of being one of the Trinity Processor cores, but he's not a Blade.
>No collar bone
>No cleavage
It's shit
I played this shit on the 3DS and it didn't so it for me. But from what I've seen and heard about this remake, I'm actually excited. I need XBX remake but this will definitely do until then. I'm so glad they're adding more to the story and redoing those God awful designs
They're going to play Drifting Soul in one of the cutscenes, mark my words.
God she's so smug I want her to step on my balls and whip me
Lessening standards for lesser cutscenes sucks, but it's better to spend budget eslewhere than on, ell, lesser cutscenes. Otherwise you end up with SE trying to do a movie on every cutscene there is, resulting in overbudget and 7 years of development hell. Monolith does fine. And the faces and animation are perfectly on point and very expressive when it matters. I fucking love the eyes in this game, probably my favorite anime eyes ever in a game.
Pretending to be retarded is still being retarded
Should've said an Aegis then.
Would be kino
Imagine calling yourself a fan and not noticing the Shoulder footage in the trailer.
But Engaging the Enemy is superior in every way.
>tfw I would make out with myself while grabbing my butt if I could
That'd be stupid. Drifting Soul is pretty heavily tied to the themes of XB2 and its characters (especially the Aegises), it should stay in that game.
Why are all ops literal mentally handicapped?
I don't get it, it makes shulk look like a generic anime boy, the original actually has some grit and personality to it beyond modern computer drawn anime art
I didn't notice at first because my focus was immediately drawn to the new monado design Shulk had on his back.
In the reworked ending that compliment's Xenoblade 2's ending sure.
When has Shulk not looked like a generic anime boy?
>arguing about which game has better music
>blocks your path
youtube.com
in the original xbc1? that game is not anime at all
no
This has to be sarcasm.
No. Fuck off.
you can post your smug anime reaction pic all you want but you're fucking retarded if you think xbc1 was anime
literally just a few posts above you
Stop posting X music, You'll trigger the xenobabies
youtu.be
not at all,just about 80% but not all
Don't mind me just gonna pick up my big red anime sword and fight God.
>Posting Sawano shit
KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT
ah yes, I too love famous anime 'scooby doo'
>that game is not anime at all
The absolute fucking state of Yea Forums in 2019.
I'm talking about the visuals retard
if you can't tell the difference between this and xbc2 you are blind
Sauce
>but you're fucking retarded if you think xbc1 was anime
Just because the characters are orange doesn't make it not anime you fucking retard.
How do Mumkhar, Dickson and Dunban not look like anime characters?
Also, if XB2 is your standard for what anime looks like you're horribly confused.
Reminder there are actual shit eaters that think Xenoblade Chronicles X has bad music
Theres no escape from the plebeians.
STOP CALLING XENOBLADE CHRONICLES ANIME!!!! I CAN'T SHITPOST THE REST OF THE FRANCHISE IF I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT XENOBLADE IS ANIME AS FUCK! AAAAAAH
>Sawano
>not shit
TOP KEK
UH
UH
YEAH
>XB1 is not anime
>posts anime characters
cute potato
Darn. May be the thing that pushes me to get a switch.
Do you also think Cowboy Bebop or Death Note aren't anime because they're not cute uguu~? What a smoothbrain argument.
Imagine being this deluded. Fuck off moefag.
>Sawano shit
>not the most pleb garbage out there
bros...
youtu.be
People who feel the need to justify liking a JRPG by denying it looks anime are fucking pathetic.
Guess the entire cast of Torna isn't anime either.
how DO they? they have noses, dark shading in the face, actual shape to their eyes, pupils accurately sized to a human
there is no waay you cannot see the difference here
are you retarded? cowboy beebop is distinctly not modern anime, I'm talking about modern bog standard computer drawn anime art style, the cal arts of the eastern world
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT
I WANT MONEY
>>redone Klaus experiment to match with XC2
Really really hope for this. I'm a hardcore XB1fag and still felt that Zanza post-reveal needed more fleshing out as a character.
Shulk looks better but I preffer newest Fiora
They are either insecure as fuck or genuinely braindead
>b-but muh favourite game cant possibly be weebshit
>b-but only THIS type of weebshit is okay
Lmao grow the fuck up you faggots
Anime isn't one artstyle you complete and utter retard. Xenoblade's cast is anime.
>That cutscene with Nagi going full "Nothing personnel kid" in Xenoblade X
youtube.com
fuck I love these stupid weaboo assholes
I just explicitly told you what arty style I'm talking about shut the fuck up you mong
>LA nights is bad
>meanwhile chronicles 2 has the most generic soundtrack in the series
I dont even...
God i fucking hope they leave the OG dub intact and only record lines for the new content, XB2's VA direction was borderline audio vomit and i'd rather they not taint Adam's GOAT performance.
>one post about muh anime gets a reply
>the rest come out in droves
Why are y
This, it's fucking pathetic.
>they have noses, dark shading in the face, actual shape to their eyes, pupils accurately sized to a human
I guess space battleship yamato isn't anime nwo
also before you say some shit like >moving the goal posts I literally said the same thing in my very first post so go kill yourself
While it looks better it changes the artstyle....... Literally soul vs soulless.
They just needed to make the faces better and better textures/rendering resolution.
Having a generic anime artstyle and having an anime artstyle in general are not the same thing. Even the official concept art screams anime. The amount of vidya/anime tropes in the game is also very big.
Ugh, and XB2fags were seriously meme'ing those models being good? Holy fuck i Tanaka's art style is eye cancer.
This is obviously anime.
Fuck off with your shit English dub
Japanese voices is the only way to play
favorite scene, wish every recording out there didn't have him in another outfit than his captain uniform
youtu.be
that actually looks good though you are intentionally missing the point
But she isn't anime! Can't you see? THE SHADINGS!
Sorry, modern anime is exactly what I think it is and any contemporaries that don't fit those criteria aren't real anime.
If your character has a nose, it's not anime.
I quit this when I got to the flying people kingdom
If your character has eyes smaller than a palm's width, it's not anime.
brown alma>ayy lmao alma
simple as
>smash secondaries eating themselves alive as reality seeps in
About fucking time. Now pick another fanbase to ruin with your vile existences and fuck off from Xeno.
is kos-mos an anime girl? the nose makes me think otherwise.
Nose on anime girls is a fucking mistake anyway. Even worse on anime 3D girls. Only jews want noses, actually.
>Nose
Not anime.
please stop
this is literally just proving everything I said right
>claim the new shulk looks like generic "modern computer drawn anime art" (verbatim)
>nuh uh he he's generic
>no he is distinctly different from generic anime characers here's why
>well duh anime is not all the same you idiot!
come on man
I don't understand how a fanbase can have such a wrong perception of a franchise that shows its influences so obviously as Xenoblade.
Because companies still don't always do it.
Xenoblade X and FE Fates quickly come to mind.
Puyo Tetris too.
wtf i love jews now
Melia no
>tfw people are enjoying the sort of anime you personally dislike
Is Malos anime?
Yes, not all anime has the same art. You're just a blind bat who can't even tell the difference.
>natural colored hair
>nose
>small eyes
>spanish name
No, he's Mexican.
He and everyone in Torna were designed by a fucking chuuni.
If there's something anime on that game is Torna in general.
No, he's best boy.
This is not anime at all guys, this is a mature, serious JRPG character!
I never claimed XBC1 was "generic anime" though so what argument do you think you're making here? Do you think this is a gotcha? You said originally that "in the original xbc1? that game is not anime at all" I said it was anime with anime tropes, then you try to move goalposts by claiming all anime looks the same and only moeshit that looks like XBC2 counts as "anime". You're the one going in circles to not admit your argument was stupid.
It's definitely on the Torna engine, which is great. That game looked good, and ran alright.
Hopefully we can get an X port or remake. Get all the Xenoblades on one system.
I can't believe Ahiru no Sora, a cartoon which is airing this season in Japan, is not anime.
IBO is also not anime, I mean look at their noses! There's even a fat guy in there!
NOOOOO DELET TREE HOUSE DOSENT APPROVE OF THIS
They gave them really prominent ahoge this time around. Wonder why. They were always there but now they're bigger.
I didn't move the goalposts you moved the field by misinterpreting my words
find me where I said "every anime looks the same"
I was talking about the artstyle from the very beginning but it was you and everyone else who tried to turn it into something it wasn't talking about "tropes" and other irrelevant shit that was never even brought up
maybe if people actually read the whole post chain they'd see the context for the argument but they're too fucking lazy to do that
Anyone who ran around in swimsuits instead of the really cool armor sets you get is a faggot anyway.
At least it's not quite as extreme as it was in Tanaka's design.
I just got Judgement and have been enjoying that, but I've been using my PS4 for streaming movies more than actually playing games
>actual homosexual projecting his insecurities
If you didn't make this post: Then why bother arguing with me in the first place?
Agreed
I did make that post. It says directly in that post what kind of anime I'm talking about, as well as in the first post and multiple other posts
Should've gone with the Dark Souls anime style desu
what a boring design
I don't remember ever seeing a side to Rex like this in the game. What a wasted character.
I'm in the minority on this one but I loved Tanaka's designs, and I wish they had used them for the remaster. I understand why they didn't, but I would have liked them more, personally. The refreshed designs are looking great regardless.
I'd want smug Rexs
it's an expression sheet, you don't see a bunch of the other characters doing all of theirs either
>incredibly cliche anime JRPG has one of the best villainous groups ever
How did they do this?
literally soulless what the fuck
>He doesn't know
I have a Jew fetish, so I win
By intentionally not making their characters cliche for plot purposes. Their goals are evil but the people themselves aren't and the game goes out of its way to show you that. There was no need for it but the writers wanted you to understand them.
imagine thinking XBC2 is a good game
imagine
They're essentially a JRPG party but as villains (they actually share a shitton of similarities with XB1's party).
Villains using the power of friendship (or a fucked up version of it) is my fetish so I liked them a ton.
Imagine still being asshurt over XC2 2 years later lmao
