I'm glad I'm not the only one. That game is the pinnacle of "awkward hyper-realistic anime face" to me. The FMV models looked pretty decent:
But the in-game ones are something else entirely:
*shudder*
I hope they look better than this.

It's not in the Nintendo Store anymore and the closest Gamestop that has one is 50 miles away in a smaller city. I mean, I could pay the huge mark-up on ebay but it's not worth it to me.

Well, considering there are already posts similar to that in the Wii U technical discussion thread...and every Wii U thread by a dev praising the system, not really

But what happens if Lightning Returns sells more in every territory despite turning out to be a turd of a game? Then who eats what?
We all eat shit.
I don't really care. I never cared for this. I only need ONE copy anyway.
Numbers mean nothing to me. Specially nowadays...

but it literally doesnt matter and would only effect you if you think you have a personal connection to the game

Should I get a wii u now if it can be had for a very nice price, I have a ps3.

It affects me because I'm tired of seeing every Wii U technical thread reduced to those kinds of messages. We literally have people who think they know more than actual devs and who are choosing to ignore their comments
Wii U = PS3/360?
What we've seen so far looks a lot better than these screens. Is that Dragon's Dogma?

if your feeling this way just because of these games announced it is best that you wait until at least 1 of these games are released before jumping aboard to avoid disappointment.

YES! You, my friend, have great taste!
I don't own this OST but the few songs I've heard from the Tokyo Tower TV drama sounded great too. Here's the main theme:

Ns' Aoi was really good too, but Sawano only did a little less than half of the soundtrack, but it still sounds great. Here's the song "Determination" which he did and was awesome:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAVzKfh5NVA
I'll also share three songs he did for the anime Guilty Crown. The OST for this show was really sweet. These picks are from the Another Side Cd's that came with the DVD's in Japan.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j31xFzVjTQ "No mercy. Don't listen to what they say! NO!" LOL I love this song. Good stuff. "YES!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcYMZlL3u4s -Love this one. Some cool ideas and good variety here.

I just noticed "Doll Fuel" in the bike transformation gif
Even if this is not Xenoblade 2 - I am glad it will be XenoSomethingSpecial

And this is their first HD game. :lol
I think this game looks absolutely fantastic, but that water line looks a bit off?

Soma Bringer and Xenoblade had awful character designs. Internal Monolithsoft artists aren't very good with faces.
Egil in his mechon looked so cool though.
The in game model faces just look like dolls.
Someone had to bring grass to the next gen.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be a price drop (or 2) before this game hits, as well.
Dark Souls, Pokémon, BIS

Yeah! I love that grandiose feeling!
I can't tell if there is clapping in this song or some other thing making that... clicky sound...
...Thats not what I mean. I meant using the same voice actors.
When I examine them closely I notice that the in-game models inexplicably have rounder faces and eyes about twice the size of their FMV counterparts.
It's bizarre. Why do that?
I hope Monolithsoft will do better, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned. They don't have the best track record.
I like your words.

The weapons are more reminiscent of Xenoblade and of course the expansive setting and large creatures. Combat and HUD also looks similar to blade.
Mechs and character animu design speaks more generally to Xenogears/saga in my eyes though.
