revlob Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 The environments look great, but the character design is all over the place. Not only do the characters look at odds with the realism of the landscapes, but there's a disparity even between individuals. Mr Moustache looks like he was designed by a totally different team of artists from whoever came up with Team Anime behind him. The less said about the Nopon the better. Compare that last image with the concept art for the original game: It's a bit worrying that the cast for the new game still looks like a bunch of Real Dolls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie John Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Vid of the new one, whose thread is unsearchable due it just being the temporary title of "X" (Quoted from the original Xenoblade Chronicles thread) That looks awesome, and this is from someone who hasn't played the original. Do you get to battle the Colossi-sized monsters? I've pre-ordered my copy from Amazon already because I'm scared of it becoming as rare as the original game.

Dig Dug Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The scale of the game is awe-striking but I'm not feeling the character design or the fact that guns hover off the backs in a way that is impossible to not notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMD Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The character models in the original were pap but you stop caring 5 minutes in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The majority of the time the camera will be pulled waaaayy back so you can see the gargantuan enemies you're battling, so basic character face modelling really won't be an issue.

RubberJohnny Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I think it looks astoundingly impressive for something from the 360/PS3 gen. I'm playing FFXIII at the moment, and Gran Pulse is a big area, but it's also pretty featureless and the draw distance on creatures is like 100 metres. This has an even larger and more detailed environment, with a better draw distance and all that ground foliage and stuff and still manages to run all the combat particle effects without popping into a separate combat arena.

Sie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The game I'll probably find myself buying a WiiU for. It looks incredibly good and the sense of scale in those environments is amazing. MMOs should look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Puzzles Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'm happy that the trailer showed some more exotic, colourful environments like the Wii Xenoblade; the earlier videos were a bit samey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyhwuhx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wether or not I'll get a WiiU and this game is all up to Nintendo when/if they update their account and library management, but damn, I'll be ALL OVER THE SOUNDTRACK. I really love me some Sawano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trailer showed that? All I took from it was how bland it looked in comparison to Wii Xenoblade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyboard Koala Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (Some of) the main characters: Elma: Team leader of a private military organization known as BLADE. Her temperament is quite calm, and composed with a keen sense of judgement and insight and seems to be well respected by her fellow members of BLADE. Lynlee: She's a mechanic and member of BLADE. She is young, at only 13 years old she is considered a prodigy who has been developing a combat robot called “Doll”. Tatsu: A member of the Nopon race, and will be your companion under your care after certain events transpire in the game. A little silly and occassionaly empty headed, his words at times will seem as if he is the one protecting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like so many Wii U games the art direction is rather wonderful. Okay, expect for the character designs perhaps. But the environments, creatures and mechs... Man, I don't really have the time for RPG's these days, but I definitely want to explore that world. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottcr Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Voice acting in Xenoblade was excellent, no reason to expect otherwise for this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dismembo Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I actually really enjoyed the english voice acting in Xenoblade, as it was actually english for once, as opposed to american. Even though some of the repetition of battle phrases was a little extreme. Man, what a bunch of jokers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
