in Dragon's Dogma the main character doesn't talk at all outside of battle grunts, but the pawn you create has a lot of lines and they have a bunch of voices to choose from, both male and female

I don't think it's been outright stated anywhere, but I can't really think of any game that both allows you to customize the MC's voice, and gives the MC lots of voiced dialogue in cutscenes. I mean, it'd be kind of waste of resources to record the same dialogue for 20 different people. It's a pretty safe assumption to say that the MC will silent when the plot is happening.

Taint reaped again!

That's also literally the number one thing people complained about with Xenoblade, so that shouldn't be a surprise

I was kinda hoping they might trim some of the fat for the sequel rather than double down on the mmo trash content. I do like to do sidequests in rpgs but having to do all the 'find 5 fossil monkeys' crap to get to the actual good bits was a pain and an active detriment to the game

Boy I can't wait to hear the same Sawano soundtrack that I heard in his previous endeavors for 300 hours straight. Maybe this time the mumbled mess of English and German might make sense if I go google the lyrics and translate it back and forth about 10 times.

I like to picture Tetsuya Takahashi receiving the musical ideas from Sawano and responding with "what the gently caress is this gutter trash poo poo" and telling him to get hosed like he kinda did with ACE+, but was nicer about it.

"Interceptor - In charge of exterminating protists."

Is this a mistranslation or is there really a significant group of quests about killing microorganisms?

Man... I really want this to be good but a 300 hour MMO type thing is exactly the kind of thing I don't want it to be. :sigh: Xenoblade was pretty much the perfect balance.

Somebody please tell me vin diesel is one of the voice actors for the main character. You could totally play as vin diesel in shadowrun returns which was amazing. There was even the riddick shades option. It would be a really great way to target the non anime pillow crowd.

What makes you even entertain the thought that this game is going to try to cater to the non-anime crowd? Besides, Vin Diesel is a huge RPG/Gaming nerd. He talks about playing D&D with his buddies but you know he's secretly posting in the Final Fantay thread arguing about which is the best Final Fantasy (6).

You could do that in Baldur's Gate but that doesn't mean Bioware fully voiced the MC. It's ok thought because they weren't going to top Jon Irenicus and how perfectly his VA played out the character.

I hope so. The sooner it comes out here the better. If they've been working on the localization right alongside the game being made it won't be too long before it comes out here then.

Mistranslation. They're in charge of exterminating primitive life forms i.e. all the different monsters that are native to Mira.

Quick translations of the new character profiles from the website:

Guin posted:

Honest soldier with an unusually strong sense of justice

Member of the militia organization "Blade".
On Earth, he served under Elma and Irina in the United Government Army Special Operations Vehicular Instruction Company (a.k.a. Doll Company).
Though he often fails to observe proper protocol due to his inexperience, he is honest and looks up to Irina.

"He used to just be an advisor, but now he acts like he's the president or the prime minister! I can't stand it!"

Nagi posted:

Chivalrous former captain of the "White Whale"

Former captain of the interstellar colony ship "White Whale".
Currently the Director of Military Affairs of the NLA Autonomous Government.
To protect the continued existence of the humans inhabiting the planet Mira, he works himself to the bone every day managing government affairs.

"Although an unforeseen situation has arisen, we can survive here like this."

Finally had time to sit down and read the Famitsu article, so here's a some more stuff:

-New LA is split into four districts: Blade area, commercial area, residential area and industrial area.
-Blade's most important task is searching for the stasis pods (referred to as "Life") that scattered all over Mira when the White Whale fell apart.
-Finding the pods requires expanding the "Frontier Net" that provides information about the planet's various areas.
-Glowing pillars of light are used to denote locations where you can deploy a Data Probe. Deploying the probe adds the information of the surrounding area to the Frontier Net, which can be viewed on the game pad.
-The game supports off-TV play.
-The game world is seamless and made of 5 distinct locations/continents.
-There are still some loading screens before stuff like cutscenes. The download version of the game loads faster, but they're looking into ways to speed up loading on the disk version.
-The game originally had healing arts, but Takahashi didn't like having to stop attacking to heal. That's why they implemented the Soul Voice system, which rewards you with healing for performing well in combat and allows the player to concentrate solely on defeating the enemy.
-4 character parties were chosen to allow a balanced mix of different classes and builds.
-You can choose which character you control, you aren't limited to the main character.

So happy to see that Takahashi noticed that healing by killing made for a way more fluid and enjoyable combat experience than having a dedicated healbot. I'm also excited to get 4 party members. 3 party members has always felt too small and limiting to me.

Game is going to own. I loved Xenoblade and it looks like Takahashi pretty much went "Let's do Xenoblade again but make the combat even more action based" and it's going to be cool as hell.

Shame about no ACE+ soundtrack, but eh, can't win em all. I just hope Sawano delivers something good.

Dual-layered DVD, around 8 gigs. Probably Brawl is the only Wii game larger than it. Maybe Metroid Prime Trilogy, on sale now for $10 on the WiiU eshop buy it

brawl was horribly optimized and should not have been a dual-layered disc. on the bright side, it being so horribly optimized is what allowed for it to be so easily modded, so that was cool
