Lethemonster posted:Ofcourse not. It's how you know if someone is a good judge of character or not. If they don't think Dickson is the most amazing JRPG pirate then you push them off a high building. But... but Gilder from Skies of Arcadia...  Mazed posted:Dunban's official romanization (in the artbook) is "Dunbun". This is indirectly related, but the original name for Dagran in The Last Story is Quark. nine-gear crow posted:Anyway, am I the only one who shouts out "DICKSON! If doing this is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Tupperwarez posted:Yeah, agreed 100%. He finally nailed it this time, I think. It's a real trip looking back at the Gordian Knot of Xenogears' narrative and comparing it to Xenoblade Chronicles' narrative. Xenoblade is a lot more focused and meanders a whole hell less than previous Xeno games, and benefits greatly from it. I wonder if it's a case similar to Silicon Knights with Eternal Darkness - Nintendo keeping a tight reign on them to make sure they turn out something good. And generally telling them "get this part done before you add something else".

Blind Sally posted:What's even better is that Riki winds up being one of the more complex and interesting characters in the story. Some of the Heart to Hearts with him are brilliant. Something I always liked was they took the time to fill in the details of how such a small character would fight/protect itself in a forest of loving massive creatures (protective  spiked gloves for the ear/hand things that wrap around most of the front of the body, playing dead, using poisons, that sort of thing), rather than just "cute character that hits things" and call it a day.

Reoxygenation posted:I'm playing through the game while going for 100% completion God drat, that's some serious masochism right there  . High Entia's really not so bad, if only because it's not too long. The boss kicked the poo poo out of me and I ended up putting the game down for a month or two because of it. Funny thing is that when I came back to it I only needed to grind out two levels on sidequests to return the favour.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Yeah I agree.  That "voice acting group" is actually a random assortment of British TV stars and voice actors of various degrees of fame and success. Incidentally if you've seen the CGI Captain Scarlet series, I want you to look at Captain Scarlet himself and try picturing him saying "Riki sneaky!".

Rigged Death Trap posted:Hahaha what? That Captain Scarlet? I remember seeing some of those episodes as a kid! No, not the marionette series. There's a CGI series from about 2005/6-ish. It was actually pretty good. Rigged Death Trap posted:Then that last bit of my question still stands; will the same localizers work on X? Because they did a bang up job on this one. This one's really up in the air. Hypothetically it could go to them just because they did Xenoblade, but the only reason they localized the "Rainfall trilogy" games in the first place was because Nintendo of America didn't want to localize them and NoE pretty much went "gently caress y'all then, we'll do it ourselves  ".

JT Jag posted:I assumed that the Faces were machines with the spirits of humans in them, or they were fully integrated with humans like a cyborg deal. And I thought the red liquid on their surfaces was literally blood, probably from the body of the human that inhabited the Face. I didn't expect them to just be robo-suits. I honestly wonder if it was meant to be a double-fakeout. The blood pumping through idea seems like an easy logical deduction for the player to make (I thought the same thing - they eat Homs and circulate it around the outer shell of the Face Mechon as a kind of shield), so when the FACE MECHON ARE PEOPLE!  reveal comes it's still a surprise.

nine-gear crow posted:Of course it won't come out in NA. Reggie visibly sighs in frustration every time anyone mentions Xenoblade in interviews with him. It took a massive outcry just to get a limited run co-publication with Gamestop. Actually it probably will. So far it's the only title announced for the new model, and unless they start announcing more Wii ports or new games for it in the next six months, they're gonna need something to sell alongside it in the US/EU.
