Louisgod posted:We get into it pretty well in the other Xenoblade thread but know that it bucks just about every JRPG cliche in the book, specifically: That last point really bears repeating. The cast is all so likable. There really isn't any dead weight there. The voice acting really contributes positively as well. It's a fun adventure with a group of fun characters.

Louisgod posted:I'm playing through the game again and am about 55 hours in and only at Sword Valley. I've been taking my time with doing all the quests and exploring and am having just as much fun as I did the first time through. I am also doing that, but I'm not quite as far as you. I decided to give it another go on Dolphin this time (with the high-res textures) and man does it look like a next gen game. I just reached colony 6 and I'm amazed at how much stuff there is to do and how much of it I forgot about. The game is so dense it practically begs for a second playthrough.

Louisgod posted:They probably mean you can pick from a bunch of pre-made character traits for your avatar ala Monster Hunter's grunts, faces, hair, etc. I don't know how I feel about not having a named main character but I'll reserve judgement considering their track record. I'm definitely a bit less excited about playing a mute/blank slate protagonist but I'm with you. I think if the rest of the game is solid it might not matter much.

Aston posted:I've got to the end of my save at about level 83, but I want to finish up a bunch of quests which involve killing level 99ish monsters - basically the skill tree quests and the Giants quest. Are there any quests I can find that'll bridge me from mid 80s to mid 90s? If I recall, I just piggybacked from the higher level monsters wherever I could. There are super high level monsters in every zone; the fish in Colony 9, the giant guys in Bionis Leg, etc. I think all you can try do do at 83 is try to find a sub 90 monster and grind on it.

Has a Pacific Rim feel to it, in parts. I like it also.

That trailer definitely sold me on the game if I wasn't before (and the Wii U). I suspect the story wont be quite as solid as the first but the world looks so BIG this time around. My stomach dropped when the character jumped off the giant cliff. I can't wait to play that poo poo.

The art style is super disappointing after how colorful the first game was. I never did like the Xenosaga creepy mannequin look. Still, the world looks loving huge and fun to explore and I love the mech motorcycle things. I'll probably still buy a Wii U to play it.

Golden Goat posted:I'm getting a Phantasy Star Online vibe from it. Yes, it is channeling PSO way more than Xenoblade. And goddamn the should be ashamed of the character models. Everything else looks really solid but the people look stiff, almost like PS2 era models.

PSO with Gears. Not too shabby. That part where they were fighting the GIANT lava dudes looked pretty baller.

bef posted:I can't say I'm going to enjoy something I've never played but I'm going to buy it and enjoy it for what it is because I want them to make more games. Yes, I hope to enjoy it but I'll enjoy it if it's good. I'll be disappointed if it's not. Some kotaku dude not liking it is a pretty good sign though.

Xavier434 posted:I think it is fine. It just isn't what some people wanted out of it. It definitely doesn't attract me the way Xenoblade did before it came out. It looks like it could be fun but it really doesn't look as amazing overall. Maybe giant robot combat will make up for everything.

Inflammatory posted:as someone who's only passingly familiar with the original xenoblade, i'm not sure what you guys find so special about the plot and characters. hero chosen by magic sword gets hometown wrecked by bad guys, so he sets out to get revenge with the help of big dumb guy, old mentor guy, noble princess, and cute mascot character. Short answer: presentation.

Ometeotl posted:For Xenoblade, he's absolutely correct. It's nice being able to move and change artes at the same time. Can't you do that with the Classic Controller or am I misremembering? I thought you could use L/R for that.
