I'm sorry but Shulk is only okay until he finds out who Metal Face is. A whole truckload of sense and intelligence he had going for him takes a loving nose dive over this.

Guess I have to get a Wii U by next year. I need my Space Frontier and good JRPG itch scratched.

motherbox posted:I'm about three and a half hours in and I'm pretty sold. Really enjoyed the plot twist of having who I assumed was the love interest drive a big robot and then loving die. For some reason I feel like I'm playing the JRPG equivalent of Mass Effect. Not in the sense that you have (ultimately meaningless) story choices, but more the general atmosphere of an incomprehensible machine invader and loads of side quests and such. Xenoblade gets a pass only because its legitimately insane and its terrifying if you actually follow and comprehend the plot too much. It doesn't hurt the gameplay at all, but it does take incomprehensible to a location few can successfully pull off.

As long as the mech combat theme is good I can handle a lack of variety. That feature alone may have made them adjust the budget across other areas such as music.

I'm glad Monolith Soft decided to honor a non-existent agreement I broke with them to only buy a Wii U when it was a Xenoblade X bundle by pushing forward at least one release date. Gonna spoil myself silly watching Japanese footage and crying myself to sleep for not being able to drive my mech on an alien anime world.

I'm hoping for some aliens to put into your party so I can have more variety than anime humans and what looks like the worst pon ever. Or at least some age hiking if I can only bring Pizza to alien parties. Glad they at least decided to put in some camera features to check out the environments from different angles, but I hope it isn't somehow impossible to just play the game on the gamepad.

To go with the standard MMO boob slider they obviously gave the ladies. At least there are better faces around the bottom that don't look so as I feared every face in this game would. I can't wait to find every stupid costume this game can come up with.

Only question is how much of a freak accident Men driving a Car the JRPG really is at this point. Is there any info on how long X took Monolith to make just to further rub it in the near 10 year mark 15 is around?

I will waste so many hours trying recreate that image in a screen shot, even though the game will likely never let me even come close. Is that some sort of laser gun-sword he's firing off or what?

The only time it swings back to the bad side of JRPG standards is when Shulk finds out who Metal Face is. As insane as the late game will get, that's where the likeable protagonist kind of goes off the deep end of insufferable dumb rear end developing a strange knee-jerk pacifism.

I'm mad they can't figure out how to make their graphics engine that looks exactly like those pictures as it'd be the best thing ever. At least the robots will look good.

The Taint Reaper posted:This is a much better battle theme than the original, especially since you'll be blowing poo poo up in giant robots. It's hard to compete with the predecessor's one when I'm playing the 3DS port, and even now, I'm imagining pulling off a really long chain as soon as the high part hits. But I guess this can fit if you want to think of an X as more Mecha than multifunctional pure action. But I'm still going to likely make my character Dunban.

Fungah! posted:yeah just do this, gently caress. she's a tank anyway, if i had to guess i'd probably say that the lovely bikini light armor isn't the gear you want her taking hits in You must not play many JRPGs or MMOs, as the bikini armor typically is the one with the most ridiculous stats. But if that's the case I'll just rush for the Dunban titan armor speedo and be the best character anyway.

Fungah! posted:yeah but if you actually went heavy-armor tank, the heavy armor on Reyn was beefy as hell. i mean, maybe the bikini's got the best tank stats in the game, iunno, but somehow i really doubt it Well what's better than just keeping her in the giant robot so you never have to see her outside of specific cutscenes?

poo poo takes time to rip and players are probably more interested in fighting giant robot bosses together than compile images of all the armor variants.

Are the rest of the nopon okay or are they all insufferable nerds like Not Riki? Also have the quicktimes changed much or the new affinity boosts just more of the same?

hubris.height posted:If you didn't like Lunar and Lunar 2, then you can just see yourself out the door, bitch. I just want to know how the guy that made that image reacts to me enjoying American pop culture references in Lunar or Vay. Would making goofy 90s jokes be considered HORRIBLE CENSORSHIP now by the people who freak out about slight clothing changes from Bravery Default?

I wish someone could make a game that looks exactly like awesome 70s scifi art, but it's still pretty rad that they drew it.

A Steampunk Gent posted:Okay, I appreciate it's not Final Fantasy, but it is a long and ongoing series with a relatively large fanbase for a SRPG, it's certainly bigger than any of PSP/Vita jrpg franchises Uh no, I mean "keeping it in the family" isn't exactly a new low in a game about shipping and breeding the best child soldiers. The robots are still cool in X, right? That's really all I care about it besides exploring a new world.

Well this isn't like the original Xenoblade as there isn't much story to spoil outside of a setting that is focused entirely on you making you wander around a single player MMO in with a car robot.
