Clever Spambot posted:I'd rather they just gut the fetch quests honestly. They did this in diablo 3 and now the EXP is just rewarded as a bonus from smashing any group of monsters. No quests that require 10 of anything, it's a good solution to the problem.

You think they're going to make this a Gamestop exclusive or is it going to get a real release? Would be nice if they packed in both games like Bayonetta.

wateyad posted:You all realise that, regardless of who is designing the characters or what the concept art looks like, the in-game models are the exact same level and style of sort of realistic but sort of anime that they were in the first one and you're only just noticing how anime it is now because they have more polygons to work with this time (maybe with a side of there not really having been an important child character in the first one), right? No Xenoblade's character eyes were all textures on the head. XCX's character's eyes are individual polygonal objects linked and rigged to the head. The modeling style is going to change the look of the characters somewhat because they're not going the project diva route with animated textures on a face rig for facial expressions it seems. Doing poo poo like how they make guys in project diva or the Namco Tales games would be the more advanced way of how they made the original Xenoblade characters. Anime is pretty weird and fussy in how it translates into 3d. Because you have to model a 2D look from the start and not everything can be in 3D or stuff is covered by a filter.

Supercar Gautier posted:I don't think even Melia or Fiora looked like porcelain dolls to the extent that the girls in the new game do. The men have a different look going on too. I think it's incorrect to say that the only difference is graphical power. It's art direction essentially, or how they chose to approach building them. The characters start on paper for reference and have turnaround views. It's nothing related to graphics or hardware, it's a choice. The skin textures could look off since it's still an unfinished game. The porcelain doll look isn't exclusive to this one instance. Unfinished models can get that look too when the render isn't a full on production one. Axing stuff like that saves time when you're rendering out.

Supercar Gautier posted:When I say "porcelain doll", I don't just mean the skin texture, but the facial proportions. Because they're doing what Xenosaga 2 and 3 did and tried to fully flesh out the Anime look in 3D which just always looks really really weird. Look at Momo from XS 2 and 3. Star Ocean is guilty of this too. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Jul 9, 2014 |

I beat the game yesterday with max affinity with party and areas, all skill trees learned, Colony 6 fully rebuilt, made all the monados, collectapedia finished, and all trials complete on a single playtrhough. I hope X has a better quest tracking system because some of the quests were a real pain in the rear end to find ingame info on and nothing is ever marked on the main map like Elder Scrolls, there's around 400+ quests in the game. Also the excessive load times.

seiferguy posted:If you look at the quest, it will say what area the NPC is at (not the time of day though). As the above poster said, just wiki it because they'll list the times. If you want to he honest about it, go to the area and then change the in game time to add 3 hours at a time and they'll eventually show up. hold off farming affinity until you can get Fiora's skill tree quest that sends you into Tephla Caves. The boss there sleeps upon hit so you can spam wakeup on the person getting hit. Just run away when the boss takes too much damage. it takes around 5 minutes per affinity link to bring it to max.

Louisgod posted:Considering the guy made the game and is probably OCD about things I'd say he's probably grooming everything for bugs or things they missed. Still 5x larger than Xenoblade either means there's a shitton to do or there's a massive amount of empty, meaningless space. I hope there aren't 5 billion Collect 10 of X quests. U-DO Burger posted: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.

Fish Fry Andy posted:It's not really new things. Right now I'm mostly skeptical of the fact that everything I've heard about the game since release is that the main plot isn't as long as the first game's and that you can put characters in stripper outfits. Stripper outfits are clearly in the good thing category. Like this the first non-mario Nintendo game in decades that actually has the sequel change up the formula from the original, rather than just release the same game.

katkillad2 posted:Nothing about what I've seen so far looks like a Xenoblade game or sequel, except for the combat system. It looks more like a spiritual successor, except they are using what popularity the Xenoblade name had. Xenoblade came about because Nintendo told them to put the Xeno name in the series since these were the same people who made Xenosaga and Xenogears and it would help people warm up to Xenoblade.

Fish Fry Andy posted:I wouldn't say that different means better. In many ways I feel as though XBCX looks inferior to the original. The classes don't seem as distinct as the original party's different kits, party members appear fairly bland, I personally dislike the music, the setting isn't as obviously interesting, turbo mode doesn't seem as satisfying as chain attacks, etc. Like maybe for the 120 level boss I did so Rikki and Sharla would keep overhealing and the boss just slowly wore itself down, but I ended the game in the first playthrough with everyone at max level. like I really only switched stuff just to max out the party linkage affinity but I did so for just the one resettable bossfight which you spammed awaken on a stunned party member constantly until they were at max. But yeah not a whole lot of party shifting was needed in battle and I mostly did it just for the heart to heart events. that and to 100% all the achievements ont eh first playthrough.

TurnipFritter posted:It's also the same type of DLC that Fire Emblem Awakening and that was a resounding success for Nintendo. Yes but the 3ds was in a much stronger place back then and it's still in a stronger place now. And not only that Fire Emblem is an SRPG with entirely different mechanics. Xenoblade is not only a big release for Nintendo, it's their only big release. Like this is it , everything released previous to it was all garbage games for 2015. And Zelda was moved to 2016. They can't afford to gently caress anything up. The System is 3 years in at this point. If they release it durring the holidays it's going to go up against many other RPGs.

The thing is the world itself is Elder Scrolls size and while yes there are a ton of quests the character ones are the most engaging. They're not adding whole new zones or anything to the game and all this poo poo is on Disc DLC. So it really does come across as nickel and diming. It's not like You're getting new massive places to explore like Dragonborne. icantfindaname posted:I don't really think the target audience for some ultra-weeb anime soaked JRPG on the WiiU of all consoles has any crossover with the audience for like a Bethesda or Bioware game on the PC or Xbox Final Fantasy 15 is coming this year and Atlus is releasing poo poo for Playstation.
