It is literally only the british accents that make people think it's not anime. It is more anime than a lot of jrpgs, right down to robot girl/destiny/mascot character that does the idol pose.

If Intelligent Systems actually just wanted to go ahead and make a porn game I wouldn't really take issue, it's shoehorning 15-rated titilation into conventional franchises just to chase that otaku buck which annoys me

Is your argument seriously based on babble fish translations, because you don't seem to understand fire emblem's history of localization.

Like I said, I'm basing it on the games which got western releases, which aside from Awakening never seemed to go in this direction at all. Fire Emblem and Sacred Stones did not have erotic breast touching minigames

I know you're still going to bitch about this and this isn't the fire emblem thread, but you realize you literally can't go below the neck area, right

That only seems a little less skeevy, given the surrounding context of gameplay. Anyway, hopefully we can at least agree the loss of the sexy 13-year old costumes In Xenoblade in no great loss, to get back on to the original topic

I would seriously ignore anything second-hand from the game, as you did because most of the information come from fanatics that wanted the series dead as soon as it got popular.

So Xenoblade X will be good. Also Xenoblade was also very good despite what some people claim.

The claim mostly was that Xenoblades wasn't anime, not the quality of the game itself.

I'm actually kind of surprised people said "MAD SKILLZ" in 1998.

I'm curious when you thought mad skllz was said at all. late 90's/early 2k was prime Tony Hawk era.

I know. But still don't like it much. It's just tolerable. Not as good as the European one in xc1

It's the same quality, except british

Nintendo put a photoshop drape over a bikini butt (Not even a butt crack), boob slider doesn't surprise me.

What does Monolith believe America is like? Cause in reality our culture puts boobs on everything. This is a country that gives gender pronouns to inanimate objects that you buy at the grocery store, we have no problem with boob sliders.

I'm pretty sure this is NoA. They've been consistent in removing/altering sexual stuff in the last few years very heavily.

Good or not it has still always been a part of the Xeno games and if you think they might as well just remove it completely then I have to wonder why you even care about the game in the first place. Unless you think the jrpg battle system is incredible.

I played xenogears, all 3 xenosaga game, and played just about every game with Kos Mos involved.

The geno poo poo doesn't matter and the series should be removed from that crutch and move on. Maybe like 3 people seriously care it's removed.

Is there a youtube playthrough of the first game that shows the last couple of hours with a minimum of dumb talking from the player? I stopped playing at the last Gadolt fight when I realized I'd need to do more grinding but want to see how everything resolves before the next game.

Are you just asking for the story? Because you can just type in Xenoblade movie for that.

What part of localization do you not get, especially when 8-4 has experience with getting the direct word from the writers on what's approved? Is this literally just about asscave?

There are certain groups online that are very angry at 8-4 for nigh-incomprehensible reasons.

Weabs were super pissed when Olivia from Fire Emblem Awakening was too assertive compared to her japanese version.

If you know who Olivia is, that is absurd to think about.

How do you make someone less assertive than that?

Do not try to reason with weaboos that make babel translations of japanese games, then get angry when those dirty gaijins change it.

Also, when the context of asscave is

Alien learns English by reading some databanks when Neo L.A. crashed on the planet, it all goes fairly well but he mixes up some words, such as calling some jerks asscaves instead of assholes.

I cannot take anything a person says seriously when they're dying on the hill against that translation.

8-4 gave a breakdown of their localization on their podcast, basically explaining they talked with the creators, used their experience from translating the xenosaga trilogy, and even brought along the guy that did the xenogears translation to be thematically consistent.

Though for some reason "Chronicles" was added in localization. In Japan it's just Xenoblade and Xenoblade X.

Xenoblade is not triple a, despite how it looks. It's close to the tier below Final fantasy, but ain't commanding the resources and money of a mgs5 or assassins creed.
