Do you feel comfortable walking in that outfit, young lady? Character designs and voice acting are Star Ocean level bad, yikes.

 

[Maiar_m]

Loved this, the artstyle I love, the non-story so far is great, I'm in in in.

edit: Stupid outfits are stupid but I'm expecting the same customization as 1.

 

[Diprosalic]

gaf has this delay thing really figured out.

i'm unsure about 4th track translation tbh

HELL YEAH!

 

[tiebreaker]

God, I can't fucking get over how fucking trashy the designs are. Everyone, EVEN THE FUCKING MALE MC, isn't wearing any fucking proper shirts/pants. The general cell shading is soo bad as well, everything just clashes soooo much with the semi realistic environment. God I hope the story is good, since I'm just expecting this to be a generic adventure story now if this the artstyle they think is fitting for it.

Oh well, at least the music is stellar.

based on previous game, XCX, there is a fashion option, so you don't have to compromise between fashion and stats. Hopefully it would be there.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

It's really ugly

 

[lucablight]

Voice acting sounds amazing and the visuals looks great (even though I'm not a fan of the main characters design). The hyperbole in this thread is lolworthy. It's like some people are just looking for a reason to be outraged.

 

[zelas]

Did they learn nothing from the previous character design issues? Cant overlook that on top of the still terrible voice acting.

this is going to get censored.

 

[Markoman]

Most Anime mobile games have better artstyle than this game.
Sorry, I can get over the jpop-boy-band look of the FFXVI squad, but this is just too much for me.
Not a fan of the mmo-gameplay mechanics either. I'm out

See this is good. They needed to show more of this in the presentation.

 

[heringer]

Looks unpolished and messy, visually. Textures are really rough.I dunno, hopefully it's just a bad trailer because so far I think X looks better.

Thanks. This sounds great.

 

[jay]

I'll say it again: These are some awful and straight up sexist female character designs. My God.

Maybe you should stop shaming women with 4% body fat that is entirely contained in their breasts, which are larger than their head.

Alternately, this is a deep cultural tradition and you are an imperialist trying to pass your views of sexuality and morality onto other peoples.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

The voices L.O.L

How old are characters supposed to be?

 

[mStudios]

I think the people complaining about wqifus swords never played the first game xd

 

[blue_phazon]

Way too much weeb shit and fanservice in this game. Yuck

And this is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoyed Xenoblade and Xenoblade X.

 

[Rncewind]

Xenoblade sure brings out the anime haters for some reason.

The first game had anime character designs, people are just using "anime" to mean big eyes and unnecessary sexualization.

This has nothing (for me at least) to do with anime hate, I watch a lot of anime and they simply look like generic anime design. Its like white angry male generic dude design in more realistic games.

Glad for you that you like the design but i think the characters look generic ass fuck and many relying on visual tropes.

For example ni no kuni and persona are looking also "anime" but i love the design because they seem unique and memorable to me

I also quite liked the design of XC1 one, looked gread on dolphin

 

[Steejee]

Hopefully the game has clothing options so that sword-lady can look less..lewd.

Guessing no much can be done to make her chest look reasonable.

Still, small complaints, pretty excited about this game so long as it can go up to the level of the previous two.

NOA will probably give her a bigger skirt.

 

[Expansion Pack]

I thought everything was good including the Australian voice acting (!!) and Kingdom Hearts-inspired character designs?

What's with all the whining?

 

[Copper]

I'll say it again: These are some awful and straight up sexist female character designs. My God.

What's wrong with having attractive females in games? Maybe they just like girls?

 

[Tyaren]

Didn't really speak to me. :/ The character design, the voice acting, the music, the world. All seemed similar to Xenoblade Chronicles (not to say a rehash), but just not on that same level. Might be just that trailer and the actual game is great, but for now I'm not very impressed or excited.
Maybe I am just too big of a fan of the original... It's my favorite JRPG ever.

 

[Ledsen]

I don't quite remember so many giant tits and pants made from sails in the previous games?

 

[shadow2810]

People, she's wearing short pant, not a skirt...

And I'm surprised people have issue with the pant, doesn't look much different from what my 36 y/o sister wearing these days in summer lol

 

[Ninjimbo]

I think it looked cool. I love seeing all the hate towards the "anime-ness" of it all.

Eat it haters lol.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

The voices L.O.L

Is this your first time seeing an anime game?

 

[EVH]

Everything about this game is full of cringe. From the crappy voice acting to the weaboo characters with over-exposed bodies and massive tits.

I mean it's xenoblade. It's always been mmo gameplay. I like it that way.

 

[Roubjon]

Do you guys remember how bad the armor designs were in the original Xenoblade?

 

[kiuo]

Key art

So, about that orange guy on the right

KITE CONFIRMED FOR XENOBLADE! Let's do this!

 

[Soriku]

The story in X already looks like it's going to shit all over this generic looking JRPG tripe.

"Generic" and "Xeno" should not be in the same sentence.

I'm not big on the character design for the hero and heroine but I probably won't care after a while. The villains look good, world looks good, story looks hype. Great trailer overall.

 

[-shadow-]

NOA will probably give her a bigger skirt.

I lol'd...

Spoiler

You're probably right though :\

 

[Vampirolol]

Looks unpolished and messy, visually. Textures are really rough.I dunno, hopefully it's just a bad trailer because so far I think X looks better.

Seriously, it looks like it needs another year of development. X looked amazing from the first teaser, this seems like a Wii game in HD.
Personally I dig the artstyle though. Better than X at least.

 

[Koozek]

Jesus Christ, at this point I sincerely believe that Monolith deliberately tries to come up with the silliest character designs possible to fuck with people as a running gag or something 😂

 

[MsVariant]

Man, I really was hoping this would be cool...

Why is the man like 13 and the woman suuuuuuper endowed?

 

[Iriscomeback]

Homura artwork by Saitom.

I think there is a big chance this design will get changed a bit for the western release.

 

[RPGCrazied]

The characters look way better than the weird chucky-esque faces we got in the other two games. I rather take the generic anime look any day. Hyped as fuck!!

Glad to see some people share my excitement! I wonder if the sword will play a role like the first game, it does look different though.

 

[Philippo]

Need to see more gameplay, that's the important.

Are we getting some during E3?

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Is this your first time seeing an anime game?

No. Do you have an answer to my question?

 

[Obliterator]

Homura artwork by Saitom.

Besides the skirt / g string I actually like the rest of the design a lot

 

[Mister Wolf]

What's with all the whining?

People who weren't gonna buy it anyway upset.

 

[Rodin]

Graphics look worse than Xenoblade X, did this start development on 3DS?

In what universe? Lighting, grass, character models and shaders are vastly better.

The characters look way better than the weird chucky-esque faces we got in the other two games. I rather take the generic anime look any day. Hyped as fuck!!

Yeah and it's not even close.

 

[SpaceDrake]

Nobody posting these days actually played previous Xeno titles, did they

Either XenoB1, or any of the Sagas

 

[Qurupeke]

I don't understand how they managed to make her bosom even bigger in the game........

That what is seems like from most of the responses in this thread.

They'll take the fabric from her shirt when they reduce her bust.

 

[crinale]

I thought Xeno girls are supposed to be sexy..

 

[Mediking]

Looks super good to me!
