Being able to switch the controlled character mid-battle would be amazing, but I guess that's too big of a change and has its own problems, like ability cooldowns.

Look at her on the left. She has no expression, dead to the world. That's definitively soulless. The Switch version has character, expression, it's vibrant and pleasing. That's soul. But yeah yeah, I know, OLD GOOD NEW BAD.

I hope they change the scroll bar for arts.

I wonder how much better XC has done because of Shulks addition to Smash. It makes me wish they would use Smash more often to help push visibility of their smaller franchises.

I’m looking at W101 specifically.

>belt still covers her belly button
Always bugged me, thank god you can put her in more revealing outfits. Easily one of the best things about Xenoblade 1 and X, you can have an all female squad showing midriff.

Yeah, and it sold like shit because Ganestop were fucking greedy cunts about getting exclusivity. Not to mention the XC was also in the same hand as Pandora’s Tower and Last Story, and neither of those have been ported.

It’s probably cyclical to some degree. It’s impossible to deny that Shulk being added not only gained general interest in him and his title, but probably helped Nintendo to OK two separate ports and a VC rerelease

Soulless 2 semenbrain characters

Yes I’m clearly a zoomer, based on my love for W101. Fucking brilliant, you are.

I bet the only reason Monolithsoft is remaking Xenoblade is so they can stick a Zohar in the ending.

Personally I think they just needed a cash grab. It's obvious that X and 2 weren't as popular as 1, so rather than going back to the drawing board and trying to make a sequel to surpass 1, they'll just revamp it with better graphics and some minor extra content. TADAH! Instant money!

>add elevator and artifices
>add Zohar in experiment scene
>Alvis explanation slightly changed, hints at his real name
Pretty much. They have to be consistent if Takahashi really is intending to make a larger overarching story here.

where are the collar bones

2 outsold 1 by a huge margin though. It's also clearly got a much larger fanbase given the sheer volume of art and other stuff it got.

you know for the time alvis spends on the party at parts he really should have been playable more or maybe even a "permanent" party member , I hope it's not just the shoulder they add

I think there is some truth to this. They probably feared that X and 2 pushed the series into too much of a niche direction, so this remaster is probably a way for them to get back their mainstream fanbase.

XC1 is a lot more praised than 2 despite 2's higher sales. They probably want popularity on the level of P5.

Here’s the irony though
The original concept art for XB1? It’s just touched up versions of stills of the 3D models because they started working on the models first since they had nocharacter designed on their team

>X and 2 weren’t as popular as 1
>X sold as much as 1 on a far smaller installbase
>2 outsold 1 by 250%
What are you on?
The only thing about 1 that’s more popular than X or 2 is Shulk and that’s because of smash

1s armors make it objectively the more gamer game

Ease of access plays a huge role in it as well. The initial release didn't go to hot and clearly they didn't make enough copies of the game, which leaves you with $70+ used copies, no one is gonna pay that price. Then they port it to the 3ds and it still doesn't have enough of a buzz to get the figures. Now though, that shulk is in smash, word has gotten around long enough that 1 is fantastic, and the switch is popular as hell. All the pieces are there to make a killing.

>They probably want popularity on the level of P5.
A garbage game that looks good? A game that is played by teens who exlusively consume anime and like cringy serious anime stories? No thanks.

I think you’re closer on the money than the people you’re responding to
While 1 wasn’t as popular as X or 2, Nintendo probably realizes it’s a much better entry-point into the series on account of its simpler premise and stellar storytelling.
I’m sure they also have some plan to have as much of the Xenoblade franchise on a single system as possible since it means that people can safely enter the franchise without fear of being a secondary or new-fan

The premise in XC1 is great but aside from the opening, it's vastly inferior to 2 in pacing and characters and has a slower plot that frequently gets stale. It's no masterpiece these nostalgic fags try to make it.

>relatively cheap and easy to remaster compared to a brand new game
>on a platform with lots of users (and digital so actually available to owners instead of GS bullshit)
>get to make it HD and improve the visuals overall
>Open to people who only got to play XB2
It’s a no brainer

Well just a JRPG that is accessible to people who don’t normally play JRPGs as their primary genre of game
I love X and 2, I think they surpass the original in many ways, but I think they both have barriers to entry that dissuade people from the franchise and if normies have an entry point for one game, they may be more willing to play the others

you're a fucking idiot

Put down your phone and pay attention to class

To be fair, as far as reception goes XC1 is the P5 of its generation, though I think XC1 is the much better game.

While I don't think it's quite the masterpiece it's made out to be, there is no denying that is has more consistent serious parts with great quality cutscenes all around. It's just a very smooth enjoyable ride as opposed to the janky X and 2.

I’d disagree on pacing, I feel like there’s a couple of things XB1 does well to keep its story going along with minimal downtime. For one, they almost always complete a side character’s arc when they’re introduced, with the exception of Melia and Dunban (I’m defining main characters here as just Shulk and Fiora). Even for Melia, she gets her entire arc in a neat package later on in the story and Dunban’s Side plot is sprinkled through because it relates directly to Shulk’s
I think, for the average viewer, this helps out because it means the momentum of any particular story line never stops until it’s done completely, at which point the next arc begins.
XB2 has some pacing issues in how certain side arcs are set up in the main story and how much time they take but also how each arc leads into the next
In particular, there’s a reason tons of people dislike the beginning of Chapter 4 with chasing down Roc’s core crystal. I actually like the overall structure of XB2 because it lends the game a more easy going pace of the adventure where detours seem acceptable, but most people don’t really have that long of an attention span for stories and prefer events to happen quickly. Same reason FF7 is considered by many to have good pacing

If they add another party member it'll probably be Vanea.

This is a big one
Execution and consistency are generally more important to storytelling for the average player or media consumer than anything else.
On the whole, I think it would be nice if XB1 got more people into the franchise since they can start from the beginning and not feel like they’re missing out. Maybe when X and 2DE come out, they’ll get even better traction
That being said, 2020 is pretty soon. When would be the best slot for its release? Should it go against the heavy hitters in the holiday season?

Weird, I think it's nearly the opposite when it comes to the story.
XC1 stays strong throughout the entire game, whereas XC2 is really mediocre up until Morytha where it massively ramps up and keeps going until it ends on a slightly better note than XC1.

nobody cares about this dumb shtty game

I'd be more than happy if they just fix the ai. Some other additions would be cool too but I kinda need the first thing.

Best slot would be summer for the anniversary, most likely is late 2020 because they clearly aren't confident enough to provide a more accurate date.

My only hope is that they are also developing a new Xeno game alongside this so we don't wait until 2025 for a new adventure.

What if NG+ gives you the option to switch between Homs and Mechon Fiora like with Elma's true form in X's post-game

>Implying he didn't save her smug in the end
He was a nerd who had only just picked up the blade of plot and got hit by an electric stun attack from something way over his level. Cut him some slack.

how about XCX on switch?

I'm pretty happy I'll be able to play it again, and this time not drop it like previously on dolphin because I got bored around mechons arm.

At this point I think they will just go straight to Xenoblade X2 with a new protagonist and provide an in-game recap for anyone that didn't play X.

Xenoblade was saved by smash and chuggaaconroy, deal with it

They're probably prioritising the original because of things like next year being the 10th anniversary and a load of people just having come off of 2.

Sure
Given that remaking a game is easier and less time consuming than making one from scratch, I think it shouldn't be too bad
A lot of the essential work that Monolith Soft proper needs to do is world design, systems design, story and writing work and actually hashing out the gameplay mechanics
Stuff like asset work (at least from my experience) can be offloaded to any number of external teams of studios so long as that team has good and consistent communication with the core development team about how everything is looking.
The more concerning possibility is that a lot of Monolith Soft got brought over for BOTW2

>The more concerning possibility is that a lot of Monolith Soft got brought over for BOTW2
They expanded a lot, even if they took the same amount of Monolith's employees as they did before it'd have less of an impact.

Posting """""HD""""" Juju should be a bannable offence.

>1 is vastly inferior to 2 in terms of pacing and characters
Yeah, no. The pacing was great for the first half, and then things started to tweak after the events of the Mechonis since the stakes had boosted drastically. The character development is just about as equal. There's a group of about 2 or 3 people in both games that barely do anything in the 2nd half of the game. The only reason you'd say the characters are better in XC2, is because the group is more focused.

Tora and Poppi are virtually only present to follow Rex after he finds his father again, and has no other personal motives to be there. Morag, and Zeke are only tagging along as borderline body guards, and in general Mythra/Pyra are awkward. It's like if they took Fei and all his alternate personalities, but instead of him accepting and becoming one whole individual, the other forms constantly reappear whenever they want.

How can anyone defend this? He looks as bad as Zeke now

Or does no one care about Reyn?

Let's not forget that half the reason she joined the party was to get revenge on Metal Face, only for Shulk to try and spare his life.

I still think that entire section of the plot must have been unfinished, there's just way too much dumb shit happening so close together for me to believe it was all conscious decisions on the part of the writers.

This is why I seriously hope the Bionis Shoulder is part of the main story, in terms of plot addition. It was apparently Colony 6, so we could get some more depth on Mumkhar's character. I really do think people exaggerate that scene, though. It's natural for Shulk's anger to be dulled after he not only got his entire reason for fighting back (Fiora), but learned that the Face Units were his people in general. Everyone either
>Expected Shulk to suddenly kill Mumkhar with no remorse after what he's suddenly learned about the Faces
>Or expected Mumkhar to not be against the party to the point of death when he absolutely despises Dunban, shows zero signs of redemption, and has real reason to even want to right the wrongs he's committed since he accepts the power of being a Mechon
What the fuck did anyone expect to happen?

I'm going to defend that since it's clearly stated in the game that Shulk is a fucking nerd that doesn't like going outside or get shit done, on top of that he being a literal tasteless simpleton. It wasn't until he used the Monado that he started changing
>being more proactive
>being more aggressive even for him to leave her comfort zone to sick revenge
Zanza clearly states that he influenced Shulk to do all those things but the moment he discovers Fiora is alive he goes back to her normal self and that's why Dickson shots him after he refused to kill Egil as it was planned.

It just seems very hypocritical of him to do all that only after Fiora was revealed to be alive. He was literally full on murder revenge boner on Prison Island despite Meyneth telling him she only wished to talk.

This I could sort of accept, but it's still incredibly fucked up

>main character refuses to kill unrepentant mass murderer who wants to kill everyone the MC loves
>bad guy dies anyway because deus ex machina so main character doesn't have to suffer for his retardation

The funny thing is that this happens twice. Weird how Shulk didn't do the same for Dickson, Zanza, and best boss Xord.

Attached: what a fag.webm (960x540, 2.33M)

That's the point, though. Shulk's entire reason for going on this revenge quest was mostly due to his direct feelings for Fiora. Of course a majority of his anger would be distilled, simply from getting her back.

But here's the issue: it means that Shulk is entirely contextualizing his anger in terms of one person's death as well as ignoring the fact that Mumkhar is still Metal Face.
Metal Face was clearly sentient up to that point, Shulk knew so, but because he's a Homs, his empathy changes when it really shouldn't
It's a case of very shallow empathy on the basis of being the same species and not rational empathy where he should be able to recognize the sentience as well as the malice in Metal Face regardless of his race.
Shulk only really learns THAT lesson when he spares Egil

>Dickson
This was after he'd resolved himself to continue moving forward to save the world from imminent termination. The stakes were far higher at this point in time, and Dickson was actively working for the person who wanted to kill everyone.
>Xord
Didn't he just fly off into the ether liquid himself after refusing to tell Shulk about the Monado? This sounds like a nitpick.

I remember this being posted every fucking day up until a few years ago.

But what about everyone else around him still suffering from the losses? Not only is it hypocritical and selfish, but it also means he couldn't stop his murder spree without being given his girl back and realising there are homs inside mechs. It's especially fucked up because he expects Egil to operate on the same wavelength as him despite Egil getting NOTHING back for thousands of years.

I expected him to recognize that Homs could be shitty people too and sometimes need to die, potentially as much as the Mechon he hated before.
That seemed to be the direction his character was going in terms of his arc.
Ultimately a lot of that ended up being Zanza's influence but the fact that Mumkhar was still trying to kill Shulk and using Homs as meat-shields inside many of the faced mechon up to his death should have really given Shulk the motivation to put him out or at least let Dunban do it
I get WHY they didn't do that but when I first played it, that's what all the directions seemed to be pointing to. Hell, that seemed to be why they made Mumkhar so enjoyably, cartoonishly evil

>the stakes were far higher at this point in time

I don't know man the stakes were pretty fucking high with Egil as well.

The Wii version is disgusting garbage for people who were too pleb to play FFXII or Xenosaga, both of which did what Blade did but better.

Why are you carrying a bucket of shit in your mouth and pretending it's good?
If only PC could have their own games.
They don't.

He's being ironic. I think.

This
Shulk's turn back to being empathetic works for the story since he's the main character but if you wanted to deconstruct it a bit, you could easily acknowledge that if the story didn't completely revolve around his journey and arc then Dunban really should have been allowed to kill him at that point in the story since him being Homs or not doesn't really matter.
Remember, it's not Shulk who decides to spare him, but Shulk actively prevents Dunban from getting his own revenge because SHULK is now less angry than before even though Dunban clearly still has a lot on his plate

2010s were a dark time for JRPGs. Xenoblade was a godsend back then.

Are you ok?

Attached: SX4J01-101.png (1920x1048, 3.1M)

Fuck man, you're right. Even still though, Shulk and Egil are foils to each other. Introverted scientists who seek revenge for the loss of their home, and loved ones. Whereas Shulk had the support of allies and had a change of heart, Egil had people but rejected them in pursuit of cold vengeance. Narratively, that's why instead of flat out letting the Monado take over his instincts, he refuses to kill him, and instead says he'll stop him over and over again until he can understand that revenge isn't the answer. The same doesn't apply to Mumkhar, or Dickson. They didn't want to be redeemed, nor did they even give a fuck. They were happy with the power they possessed, and made their choices.

I'm honestly fine with that part by itself because it makes total sense in context. Shulk's entire view of the situation has been turned on its head at that point so it's only natural he'd start acting irrationally as he's still trying to come to terms with things.
The actual issue with that scene is how everything else about it is handled, the entire narrative during that scene starts to bend around Shulk to make it seem like he's in the right when he's actually being a complete idiot.

Those Face units were generic enemy monsters who they couldn't individually identify. Get over it. Ideally though, what should have happened was

>Dunban kills Mumkhar and the team resolves to free the rest of the Homs from the Face units
>They still fall off the cliff though and end up on the Fallen Arm because the area is unstable

I would've thought somebody might have brought up the fact that Metal Face still killed Melia's dad and that Shulk took a massive metaphorical shit all over her by doing what he did, as did Dunban, or just generally chewed the pair of them out for being idiots.

>Those Face units were generic enemy monsters who they couldn't individually identify
What's your point? They still knew full well that Faces had homs inside them at that point, not knowing precisely who those homs are isn't a justification for them cutting them down without a care in the world (especially when they're back to trying to spare the very next Face they meet with someone they recognise inside).

Were they supposed to run past every Face they see..? You can't save everyone. It's not like they didn't care either. Hell, we don't even know, because again, they're generic enemy models with no impact on the actual narrative.

You'd need to indure a lot of pain to get that. I just can't stand MMO combat and fetch quests. I'm not arguing about should or not they exist and if some people may like them. I just hate them and I'm glad there're cheats that allow me to immerse in the world and adventure

It's Nintendo. They're still staggering their ports to Portstation Portable to account for periods they know will be dry on releases between actual new games.

It's why Mario 3d World still isn't out yet. They're holding onto it for a drought.

I hope they add the exp pool system from X2. That way you don't instantly overlevel yourself from all the fucking sidequests.

That’s a good idea, I think they might just do that

Could also add those vendors so there's less grinding for specific pick-ups or augments.

So it's not actually a port, then. It's just the already-existing Wii emulator in the WiiU running the game.

Literally one of the best dubs ever

Well we heard bits of it in the trailer.
The question is "how much will be re-recorded or added for the new content?"
Like if, say, they need new or redone lines for Melia and they can't get her VA back, do they rerecord every single Melia line with a new VA they have on hand?

It's okay when japan does it

I wonder if that was what the npc said in japanese and not some translators crap

It's actually amazing Japan finally manages to catch up nowadays

I pray they get her back because that sounded really awkward in the Tales of Vesperia remaster w/ Troy Baker suddenly sounding like Grant George in the new content

Since there was no land in that world initially how did land get under the Fallen Arm? It couldn't be from the mechonis since it's metal and all.

Jenna Coleman isn't doing jack shit now since she left Doctor Who. She'll probably take the owrk

Honestly, even as a persona fan, I was surprised at P5's reception amongst the more mainstream audience. P5's the best looking persona definitely, but also the least immersive or mechanically deep.

What was the logic of adding "Chronicles" to the title anyway? It's totally unnecessary

Original story draft i.e. the story they cut for the shoulder and the mechonis field

I think to try and mirror Final Fantasy in the west, to say "This is Nintendo's Final Fantasy".

Do you think they'll add some dumbass gacha system to it?

The original statement was what would waifufags of XBC2 do when the broader audience gets exposed to a much better experience of XBC1 and I don't see how more features in a sense of being able to change the appearance of player characters contradicts that

i'm totally taken out of this emotional scene cause of the clownish mmo tier armors. some of these might be even worse than Rex's diving suit

I'm also a Persona fan (at least I was), I just couldn't believe how badly the main theme of the game was explored. The villains and the party member "conversations" were terrible. It was literally written by an amateur.

Except "what the waifufags would do" is "thrive.
XBC1 is arguably more waifufaggy, especially with the actual confirmation of a consensual relationship at the end of the game, something 2 did not have.

This
In a relatively free but linear game like XC it only makes sense that heart to hearts just come naturally with story progress.
XC2 got it right. Albeit blade affinity was still a pain too, but still much quicker to rank up

But consensual relationship is like an antithesis of waifufags as the waifu is being taken by someone not the player, since the player can't self-insert into Shulk
Also XBC designs are way less in your face sexy and have more style to it as you can change the appearance how you see fit

1 = X > Torna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2

I think the bad dialogue might be caused in part by P5's terrible localisation. Hopefully P5R would fix that issue. That said, I haven't played the game in Japanese so it could just be mediocre writing in general.

The only reason I'm playing this is to see nu-fiora in her hot hi-res mech parts.

I hope that they rewrite the end of the game a bit to have it fit more with how Xenoblade 2 portrayed them, which seems to be closer to how Takahashi originally wanted to portray things. I want more of the Conduit and also to see more backstory of the three World Trees and Saviorites and all that.

X is great, it just doesn't have a large focus on story. It ends with a bunch of things left open-ended and that's fine because it introduces new things in the final cutscenes that are clearly a setup for the next game.

You'll love X and 1 then. 2 and Torna are the most linear games, so you may not like the exploration for those games.

I really like XCX but it's horribly overrated on Yea Forums.

Zanza already self inserted himself into Shulk. Theres no room for another.

That's because people are into waifu garbage, aka XBC2.

That doesn't make any sense with what I said at all.

If I may go off on a slight tangent.
It's usually just corporate speak whenever one of their talking heads say to paraphrase "we want games for everyone and will make them everyone".
But this last direct made me realize, I think Nintendo really fucking means it this time, specifically when a fucking Xenoblade remake is their big "one more thing" announcement for a direct.

They have enough faith in a fucking Xeno game now, that they beleive can stand on its own to carry excitement without it being ducktailed to something else. That almost unheard in the west for a non-FF non-Pokemon jrpg.

Truth of it is, this probably have happened if XB2 didn't sell as well as it did, which in turn probably wouldn't have happened either if it weren't for Operation Rainfall and Xenoblade Chronicles being available to wide release

I doesn't seem like it, but it is kinda wild to see how far we've come.

X was fine. It just needed to iron out some kinks and a have a few rewrites, those twists were fucking dreadful.

That said I wouldn't mind an X2 or something to that effect

>tfw you realize Fiora's been in more games than Shulk

To sit down and just have fun in? Sure I guess.
But there's no investment in it. There's no point where you're really cheering the characters on or feeling what they feel. The story is just so dry and boring. You can go on and on about allusion this or metaphor that, but in the end the story is just not there, and those elements can be found in any Takahashi work. XCX comes off more as an experiment than a game itself, and I've yet to meet a single person (besides Xfag) that will argue the game is complete. The tech is wonderful and the world is beautiful, but in the end it's just so empty compared to 1 and 2. I do hope MonoSoft revisists X once the main trilogy(???) of XC is done with and the tech they're working on is much better, but they were out of their league.

And that's a good thing!

Any chance were going to get more info on this game at TGS?

The sidequests in X is the main game.

I think they will want to show more info on this game world wide, and also that they don't want to show more because it's still not finished, the effects when Shulk grabs the monado look really bad and Fiora doesn't blink or move her mouth in the cutscene they showed when she is supposed to be doing that in the original, I think they made those cutscenes specifically for the trailer and that they haven't actually started development on the rest (Reyn's Japanese VA didn't know that there was a remaster until they announced it which means that they still haven't voiced the new cutscenes for the Bionish shoulder)

Somewhat likely.

Yes, and most of them are boring.
Some are good, sure, but there's also a ton of great side quests in XC2, and a handful of great ones in XC1.

At the end of the day there is not one moment I felt remotely concerned with the fates of the main cast, or really any of the characters. There wasn't one point where I hated or was amused by an antagonist or villain. It was like playing RuneScape quests. Sure there's some witty writing and fun here and there, but there was always that nagging feeling in the back of my head that I wished I was playing a fully realized story rather than just self inserting.

>But the future refused to change.jpg

I was expecting some kind of connection ever since Mythra's foresight ability was revealed in chapter 3, but the way it ramped up so quickly from what you posted really got me excited.

I think you're vastly underselling X's sidestory writing and overselling XC and 2's quests.

Main problem with X is that the story ended where it would've been the halfway point for any other Takahashi game.

One of my all-time favorite games. I also really wish dubs were more like this. It's seriously one of the only ones I can actually play without wanting to cringe every other second. There's obvious anime shouting matches, but the simple conversations are so understated and eloquently acted that it lends a real human element to it all.

I just really fucking love this game, and I can't wait to play it again. Especially if they're adding in cut content.

Not really. I particularly enjoy RuneScape quests which is why I used it as an example. Because RS quests are fun and well written in their own right, but then most just end where they end, and there are only a couple of characters you ever care about.

This is like one of those fucking meme images where it takes a while for someone to process some info.

I don't get it so Nomura can literally design characters for Takahashi but they won't let him borrow a character that he and his men created
Fuck copyright

They likely will, though they may re-record some lines

Wait, do Shulk and Fiora appear in Torna?

>they won't let him borrow a character

what's your source on this claim?

When a game gets dicksucked nonstop for almost 2 years with daily circlejerk threads, you shouldn't be surprised when people start to get upset about it.

Man, the delusion.

Hmm, I wonder why that possibly could be?

People dicksuck games here for years that sell like shit. XC2 is one of the few times that it actually has a positive result for the title's longevity

Yeah, it takes deep delusion to not notice the dicksucking, I bet you also somehow missed the 5 Smash threads we have at any given time.

I’m sure Takahashi tried to get permission to put Fei or Elly or even Grahf in XB2 as a cameo given that literally every other Xeno title is represented
The closest we got were color skins for the characters, like the Bart one for Zeke

They appear in vanilla XC2 if you do the challenges.

SE owns the XS stuff not Nomura AFAIK.

>Teehee i'm so perfect but wait I'm suicidal so feel bad for me ;_;

What sort of bizzaro Yea Forums have you been browsing the past couple years? XC2 is one of the most shitposted games of recent times with a very divisive reception even from those that weren’t shitposters

>tfw you remember Fiora has abs in XC2 artwork

The fact that characters from all Xeno games except Xenogears made cameos in 2, even though Takahashi clearly didn't forget about the game.

The only reason she's "perfect" was because Mythra made her as an opposite to make up for her own flaws.
She's a fake person invented to kill herself.

>That smug
I really hope Vanea is playable now

Only when you stay in your threads, like this one. Venture into a more general thread and you're swarmed by the fuckers.

Kinda calls into question the inherit value of modern vidya discussion but I digress

To be fair there're only two characters from XS.

>She's a fake person invented to kill herself
If only she would already

What would she play like?

What do you mean by "your threads"?

Anyone that shits on XB2 has likely never played it. How the fuck could you possibly hate a game with the best JRPG villain of all time.

We're talking about official cameos of KOS-MOS and what else?
If Takahashi wanted to insert Abel/Fei into - he would've had just did like not-Zohar and there would've been not-Fei, all that means is that he wants to leave the mythos of Xenogears/Saga behind for a new one

I was referring to "your" in the general sense, not just referring to Xeno.
Don't look too deeply into things.

Malos is a manchild that wants to destroy the world for selfish reasons, people only like him because they want to be the type of self-loathing dick that can make one-liners while watching the world burn.

He's pure nihilism, which is the only reason why Yea Forums loves him.

The KOS-MOS is there just because she's a huge mascot, but by your logic someone of Uzuki surname surelly should've been in any of those games since it's just a fucking surname but it played a cruel role in both Saga and Gears

That's not Jin, but Malos is fine.

Depends, BotW2 might be years away, and got to see what team they have dedicated to XCDE plus we don't know how far they're into it.

I'm okay with that as long as we get more of Zelda's precious ass.

Who's to say they aren't also working on that? XCDE probably doesn't require a lot of the staff. In addition Monolith Soft aids on an assload of Nintendo games and they have been expanding.

I thought the foresight was so cool in the cutscene and would be made into a future prediction type mechanic like visions from 1, but instead it was made into increased evasion.

fuck off reddit, nobody here cares about e-thots.

True, but then it means they would work on :
-XC1DE
-Supposedly new IP
-BotW2
-Next Xenoblade (Production 1 division with Takahashi at its head)

It's not out of the realms of possibility, but that's a lot

Thats the youtube person by the same name right? His combat videos were pretty cool but either way you’re gonna have to go back

Yes, also we don't know how much of their staff is involved in BotW2 probably a lot but it's still an Aonuma game and there's likely a lot of people from EPD.

His death scene in XB2 was pretty damn great.

And I'm glad it didn't become a gameplay feature like in XC1. It serves no purpose.

XC1:
>comfy battlan on kickass music
>enemy about to do an attack
>interrupts the flow of the battle, replace the kickass music by a shitty one
>make our party react accordingly to the enemy attack

Any other jRPG in existence:
>comfy battlan (on kickass music in the case of XC2)
>enemy about to do an attack, which you can see because of its animation/charging attack/announcing the attack name/whatever
>make our party react accordingly

Future vision is useless, it already exists de facto in any other jrpg.

In the end you feel bad for the guy even though he did very shitty things post Torna.

None of them have.

>Well I guess that confirms "he" is here
Thanks for announcing your entrance.

You really didn't figure it out the instant someone insinuated that XC2 was somehow circlejerked by Yea Forums for 2 years?

What difference does it makes when in jrpg ABC they announce an attack incoming in 2 turns/20 seconds, and the future vision of XC1 which does the same, but by interrupting the flow of the battle?

>someone insinuated that XC2 was somehow circlejerked by Yea Forums for 2 years?
How is this an incorrect statement?
It got so bad at one point mods started deleting them on sight.

I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt

Actually if you move your screen up or do anything to lower the colors on your scren you can see that there are actually shadows in her stomach

>yandere look
What?

At one point the mods were deleting you on sight.

Shhh, it's his first anime game.

Yeah, it was extremely annoying, probably the worst part of the game.

I mean I'm not really seeing the yandere look on Fiora.

One dude, and he lost his position over it.

>ending your Direct with the announcement of a remake
>when Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, and SMTV are all MIA
I wasn't expecting any of these since the Direct was supposed to focus on 2019 but if they were gonna end with anything from 2020 I can't imagine why it wasn't one of these three. They're practically vaporware at this point.

>ADD kid can't handle a game not having every single decision in it's development leaked or shown to everyone without thinking it's dead.

I did not fucking expect bionis to be the actual evil guy yet there is so much fucking foreshadowing to it, especially the part where shulk comments on how he hears a voice telling him to kill

I'd bet E3 of next year. They have 5 fucking studios open now. They can't all have be working on breath of the wild.

user... they're not working on a new IP. This WAS their third project.

>Xcuck seething that he can’t shitpost as hard in XBDE threads
Lmao gotta keep coming up with new tactics

Why are Shitch fans so obsessed with ports?

Rent free

Looking good too, Fiora!

someone do a midriff edit pls

Bayo 3 I can excuse because Platinum was working on Astral Chain, I can imagine us getting a trailer relatively soon, next year's first Direct at the latest

MP4 was scrapped and basically restarted development, so one should give that slack too.

SMTV has no excuses though, Atlus should've been focusing on that after P5 was released in the West.

Xenoblade and all its games are shit, the story is a retarded version of philosophy and it also has shitty romance.
Takahashi is a hack.

>being so mad you reply to basic bait
Not a good look my man

MP4 probably won't even come out on 2020.

>SMTV has no excuses though, Atlus should've been focusing on that after P5 was released in the West.
>expecting Fatlus to release a game in a timely manner
Their development hell cycle is no better than SE, expect 6 years between each of their game just to be safe.

This is no confirmed, but for my understanding, one of those studios should be working on Animal Crossing too, it's to be expected from their previous job, this same studio have been jumpoing to help from AC, to Splatoon, to AC again and back to Splatoon 2, now with the timing is to be expected for them to be on AC again.

Still, Monolith keeps expanding, and at least one of it's teams should be working in that new IP, or the brand new Xeno, instead of helping on other Nintendo games.

Also, it's has been confirmed who is actively working on this remaster?

Figures
>What difference does it makes when in jrpg ABC they announce an attack incoming in 2 turns/20 seconds, and the future vision of XC1 which does the same, but by interrupting the flow of the battle?
Seeing an incoming attack that can KO you, your healer, or your entire party several seconds (it's a lot more than 20) before it happens makes no difference to you? Especially when you can actively chance the outcome by buffing up your defense, using a evision buff, reduce the damage, or redirect attack to someone who can tank it. Again did you even play the game?

Of course they didn't.

So you were only pretending to be mad?

>n-no u
The sheer levels of cope Xcuck is going through

I honestly expect to only seeing MP4 until the very end of the Switch life cycle... I just want to know what the fuck has Retro being doing BEFORE taking over MP4. I would also like a new 2D/main line entry from Sakamoto if possible, and I don't think to be asking much in that regard.

Correction. He's an otaku. Just look at the amount of cringe XB2 became with a shit ton of anime tropes that's more then the previous games.

Game was far too good for the last boss it got. Big bad should have just been Dickson.

>trying to do dino drama in XB2
>get fucked every time

Isn't Sakamoto working on the Famicom Metantei remake? I guess that won't take much from him but still.

>implying XC and XCX didn't have anime tropes

When did everything go so right?

lol halfklaus

Then I have to ask, did YOU even play any jRPG other than XC1? All of what you said can be done in other jRPGs since decades. Big attack that can 1KO your party is standard jRPG practice. How the fuck do you think we managed those before XC1? That shit is standard as fuck. When the game announce a big incoming attack, you prepare your party with shield spells. Plain and simple. Heck, even putting a tank right on the front of an ally to deflect a physical attack exists.

He is. Which I hope gets a western release.

>Isn't Sakamoto working on the Famicom Metantei remake?
For real? Oh shit... I mean, if it's really not that much work, he could at least supervise Mercury Steam or something, it's not that big of a deal. I do think Mercury Steam have a solid base to work in a new entry, Metroid 2 was just a weird project to handle, being a weird Metroid game to begin with.

You're trying so hard to sound smart that you just sound stupid, same could be said for most of this fanbase, really.

Because opinions vary from person to person. Learn to cope with the fact not everyone agrees with your "special" taste and maybe you'd stop being so self conscious over a japanese made game.

I mean I suppose he is since they're his games, and he was in the announcement in the japanese Direct. youtube.com/watch?v=bvtqF7nlJfM

t.zoomer

I'm a boomer, actually.

Yep... that feeling for me was "shit, I should have finish the first game when I had the chance, instead of getting addicted to 2. I have no idea of what this is, but it must be some nasty spoiler!"

In that note, should I get to finish the first game to appreciate this remaster more, or should I just wait, now that I am already have a solid idea as to what expect? I will be honest, the side quest in the first one stressed me out for some dumb reason and that let me to drop it to begin with, but I think I can take in better, ignoring them now, knowing my second play through would be in the Remaster, where I will just do them without the pressure of moving the plot foward.

You know what'd make XBC a perfect game? Cut all of the filler quests, make combat turn based and add a theater to view all of the cutscenes. So far it's solid 7/10. Simply because MMO combat is awful and playing without cheats requires you to grind stupid fetch quests

The only retarded statement is yours, guy is right, go play more games instead of shitposting and showing the world you know jack shit. This is beyond embarassing.

Name one

Eh, I say go and finish the first game if you have it available already after all I doubt the DE is coming out before June of 2020.

Literally just wait for the mods to nuke him again.

Then fix level scaling. Because if a party of 28 wipes before lvl 30 boss and then the same party steamrolls the said boss at lvl 30(after grinding fetch quests) - it's bad game design. I play story and the game makes me quit story to grind levels to continue story thank god for cheats
