It was pretty obvious there was gonna be anime melodrama after they released that guest artwork with the elf chick.

Yeah, I assume it'll either be removed or changed to a tank top. Still though, that's pretty gross Monolith Soft.

So how many playable characters are there in this game? Is it just the ones they've shown off and now the DLC characters, or are there more?

There's a ton, including several which weren't shown off previously.

Ok, I thought in one of the 30 minute trailers they talked about how you could recruit a bunch of characters, but I wasn't sure if I was remembering it correctly or not.

It's also the same type of DLC that Fire Emblem Awakening and that was a resounding success for Nintendo.

Wow I can't believe they're porting The Phantom Pain to Wii U.

I mean I don't think YWKON is a particularly good track but it is memorable because it was the "OH poo poo WHERE IS IT WHERE IS IT" music.

Ok, ok, no one would have brought it up if people hadn't brought it up and no one should think it's creepy that the developers took the time to make sure the 13 year-old could wear the mostly-naked costumes. Anyone who points out "Hey that's creepy" is actually the creepy one, and why would you even put her in those costumes in the first place, and it's pointless to ever discuss the content of a video game because we should all be discussing Real News instead.

What exactly are people arguing though. Like, there's one group of people saying it's actually pretty creepy that the developers decided to let the 13 year old wear the stripper clothes, and then there's the other side that's... what? Saying it isn't creepy because she can wear other things? Saying people shouldn't talk about the game, here in this thread that is devoted to talking about the game?

In any case, complaining about people complaining isn't going to get you anywhere, so maybe if you want to discuss other aspects of the game you should do that. Be the change you want to see! :)

I want to see cool armor and robots because that's like 90% of this game's appeal.

I think the boob slider was dumb because you could only adjust height and boobs size. It's not like you could pick/adjust body types, or like how big the nose is, or anything like that. It was super weird and out of place.

Did the boob slider apply to male characters as well? This is important.

No.

Right, screw it, whatever, just get your butchered rear end game (Not just trivial T&A bits, mind you, but actual intentional philosophical references stripped out, too.) out already so we can now complain that it won't get a sequel and Takahashi will have been screwed out of trying to make his multipart epic a third time.

I'm sure the intentional philosophical references in a Xeno game were really deep, and interesting, and added a lot to the plot.

The LORE was very important because it allows nerds to flex their wikipedia reading skills so they can pretend they actually give a poo poo about any of the references.

I'm getting the CD version, I can't imagine getting anything digital like that without an external.

Is it just me or have they not said how many team members you get in the game? All I've seen is the player, Elma, and Anime Freak. Do you get another main characters or just make others on your own?

A quick glance says there's about eight "main" characters besides the protagonist, and like ten or eleven side characters that you can recruit by doing affinity quests.

From what I've seen the translation is ok, but you can only do so much with JRPG source material.

Some general class summaries would be nice, and maybe some info on the different branches you can join/what boons they give you. Probably also include when you can get your Giant Robot.

Survival Guide man comes out as a strong eugenics supporter.

Survival Guide man said I am of above average intellect because I'm still watching this map making tutorial video.

Edit: So making augments is just straight up crafting rather than the gem making minigame in Xenoblade? That's... ok, I guess. I will kinda miss the rush of managing to create a next level gem, but this sounds much simpler.

I think it just means those are the arts that class has, as opposed to arts you've acquired from other classes. If you look closely, it lists the what rank you get each art at underneath the name.
