in Dragon's Dogma the main character doesn't talk at all outside of battle grunts, but the pawn you create has a lot of lines and they have a bunch of voices to choose from, both male and female

More like one or two VAs pitched up and down to carrying degrees

How much of the online stuff is actual multiplayer? I came away from the doll video with the idea that it was all like dragon's dogma, finding other players out in the world and recruiting them as npcs, but some parts of that trailer have big fat monster hunter hp bars with player names next to them on the side of the screen like you're actually playing with real people. Is that real multiplayer? Just for super hard bosses?

Personal highlights

A guy trying to do a stealth quest in his really expensive giant robot and getting it blown up instantly

The tiny anime girl with all of Reyn's moves holding aggro 100% of the time while the player was doing 30000 dmg a shot in his new giant robot

At a point you need to stop complaining about Sawano and start complaining about the people who told him what kind of music they wanted and signed off on what he gave them. There is some really poor usage of music in this game that is definitely not his fault.

Like hey maybe we should ask him to chill out on the lyrics for this music we want to use in big dramatic cutscenes with lots of talking. Nah.

Maybe we shouldn't make music for flight mode start and stop every time you hop in your robot and fly fifty feet.

Oh we've got this cutscene with a lot of action and stuff happening in it maybe we should put one of the many big bombastic tracks we have to work with behind it. No, actually we had a meeting and decided that silence would be better for some reason. Save the music for when people are trying to talk.

Can someone be kind and tell me how I can play Xeno X in Europe?

I'd like to play it entirely in Japanese, if possible. I don't have a Wii U (yet).

Buy a Japanese region wii u, buy the Japanese version of the game.

Supposedly the Wii u's adapter is 110/220 even though it isn't marked that way. If you don't trust that you can buy a small step-down transformer to get 110 out of your outlet.

You can buy Japanese Nintendo money cards from play asia or some other site.

Issues like skimpy clothing annoy me, but much like the first game I'll just sell that crap off and choose style over stats. More challenging that way anyways which is nice.

This soundtrack teaser though, the orchestral stuff is solid despite appearing to have less variety than XC, but fuckkk the majority of those vocal tracks are a disappointment (especially if they're looped during exploration). What a shame, wasn't the soundtrack one of most positively reviews parts of XC? Surprised they went in such a different direction.

I haven't heard any vocal tracks when out in the world aside from the one that plays when you're flying in your robot. They're mostly reserved for cutscenes and battles. Fwiw I think a lot of the field music is pretty nice aside from a few odd choices.

Black Tar is the regular battle music in X, sometimes it just has a long intro thing in front of it for some reason.

"beyond the logos" means a thing and i think it's kind of weird that what they changed it to something that doesn't really match it, but w/e this game doesn't sound like it has a story worth caring about anyway

e: "artificial destiny emancipator" does tie kind of directly into something i do know about the story so actually that part is weird too, but maybe it's better this way?

I dunno, play an MMO? It's an MMO world. There's mobs everywhere and they aggro when you get close. Sometimes you're in a mech, which is like not being in a mech but bigger.

So something storyline related got spoiled for me like

a year ago? Whenever the game first came out anyway and I'm kinda curious if it's the only major twist in the game as I haven't really been able to forget about it for some reason. Someone who's beaten the JP version can you tell me how super major it is? (Seriously it sounds like a big story beat don't mouse over just in case) I heard all humans are extinct and we're all dumb robots or something

It's from pretty early in the game
