Xenoblade series is as far above the Tales series as the Tales series is to Star Ocean.
It's getting there though.

This really is a Tales game.
These would be cool cameo rare blades, along with Elma since she was great from X.
Though I guess TheMoon has a point that it's somewhat unlikely they'll license those two for this despite how great it would be.
Edit:
Ooh yeah 7th would be a nice one as well.
This really is a Tales game.

My SO decided to make some changes to the dog Blade.
She hated the original.
A little bit new things from famitsu, those two Torna guys' name. And type of some announced rare blades(attack/defense/heal).
Nintendo Dream magazine on Oct 21 will also have XB2 information.

Tales of Symphonia also had hilarious wanted posters
I guess the "It looks like a Tales game" is intended to be a slight ("Tales is soooo Anime!"). For me it really isn't since Tales games are quite different from each other (just look at the contrast of the awful Zestiria to the decent Berseria), though recently I was not playing them since Vesperia because of how bad they'd gotten in terms of story.
But the Xeno games have always been "Anime" (whatever that means). I don't know why people keep bringing it up now as if Xeno 2 is doing something totally different.
Anything you can share? What are the Torna names? Are the RARE blades the same ones that have already been announced or new ones?
Azami looks cool. All the other ones belong to various low tiers of character design

New Famitsu scans are out, showing off artwork for the common Blades. Art for the Torna members we have seen so far can also be seen, along with their names.
The masked Torna member is "Shin" while the black-haired one is "Metsu," with both names potentially having some religious connotations to them.
(And in case anyone is interested, Shin is voiced by Sakurai Takahiro and Metsu is voiced by Nakamura Yuuichi)
Both those names were in a script page from the initial trailer, weren't they?

Super LTTP to this, so forgive my probably super obvious question. I saw the gifs for the Blade characters a page or so back. Are those recruitable side characters like from XBX? I can't remember if they were called Blade in that game.
Digging some of those designs more than the main cast, especially Azami.
This will be my winter game so I'll be following this more closely.
My recollection wouldn't be accurate, but I don't recall the Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia era Tales games getting a lot of "Anime!" hate. It seemed to be a scarlet letter that got applied to the series more frequently post-Vesperia. To me it just seems like a meaningless insult since what does "Anime" even mean? Practically every piece of animated media and gaming from Japan is Anime or influenced by Anime in some fashion.did Tales threads get a lot of anime hate?
I never really followed the series they did not come out often on platforms I owned at the time
Cool, thanks! I found the scans through a google search. I like Nomura's Torna character designs. Very reserved but intimidating.

One thing to keep in mind is that Blades are not the weapons themselves in a sense (ie. Pyra doesn't transform into the sword). It is the link between the Driver and the Blade that creates the physical form of the weapon.Basically in battle there are a multitude of blades you can use in battle, each with their own elements, attacks etc.
If I recall correctly you can switch them mid battle for more varied attacks.
You get them in a gacha-like form with orbs(?). There are generic blades and rare blades. These are the rare ones.
Pyra is likely this game's Xenoblade

In this case, Pyra is the Aegis, which is likely the "Monado" of this game.
do i need disclaimers for the OT for what things not to whine about? with he last one it was pretty focused on two major aspects lol
No, but admittedly I'm someone who thinks whining about others whining is a lot more annoying than the original whining. If people want to voice their opinions on the character designs, I really don't think you're the one to tell them not to, OP or not.
In the worst case, the back and forth bullshit would go on for much longer because of the disclaimer.
But if you want to, I guess you could add a "yes we know you probably dislike xyz, so let's try and focus on other things itt" disclaimer or something.
Tell 'em we don't need to hear how someone won't buy the game because they don't like one character's cloths for the millionth time. We don't care.do i need disclaimers for the OT for what things not to whine about? with he last one it was pretty focused on two major aspects lol
This feels like it almost ruins the point of the designMy SO decided to make some changes to the dog Blade.
She hated the original.
Probably won't be worth it since few read the full OT's and especially those who aren't quite invested in the game. There's no doubt we'll get those kind of comments at the outset when the thread goes up, but they'll die down once the game gets into peoples hands.do i need disclaimers for the OT for what things not to whine about? with he last one it was pretty focused on two major aspects lol
Wonder what will inspire him next time?
It's uncanny! lmaoIt was so nice of Takahashi to help Nomura ship Final Fantasy VII Remake this year.
The best. Dude doesn't even need conection with blades like puny humans, and still he's so humble.
He's a deep-sea diver/salvager. his design is supposed to show his trade:MC. His giant pants/weird back pack combo are possibly the most offputting design I've seen in ages. Like, I'm trying to figure out what they're supposed to evoke, but I just don't get their functional or aesthetic provenance. But I'm still totally getting this now that I have my Switch.
I still remain confused as to what issues people have with Rex's outfit. It's clearly meant to be a fantasy version of a diving suit. Mixed with modern day wetsuits...
and old fashioned diving suits...
and maybe throw in some fishing waders....
and BAM.
Good Catch!So these two Nomura characters have the same Japanese voice actor:
And the E3 trailer showed this scene with another one of Nomura's characters:

Lol, so the same voice actor for Cloud voices Shin? That's a funny coincidence.So these two Nomura characters have the same Japanese voice actor:

Ah, the back pack is a helmet. So he's like a big brother from BioShock. And the giant pants are... metal diving chaps? What does the helmet/jacket connect to to make a seal when it's down? Why doesn't the air just come out by his mid-drift? Where is his air tank? Why don't the pants close? Why does he wear his clunky diving apparatus when he's not diving?
Now I think I find his design even more annoying, but at least it doesn't seem totally random I guess.

They are fighting an enemy that's 4 levels higher than them early on.Two new videos, apparently Nintendo is showing off the game to the press?
