Going for the cute sexy look, l like it but imo doesn't belong in Xenoblade or the very least not the initial design.

 

[freeofgreed]

Lol Xenoblade is forever cursed. People always shitting up threads on this franchsie.

 

[Almond]

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

Are we getting some during E3?

[whyamihere]

Given that this trailer was trying to emphasize the story points over the gameplay/explorations aspects of the game (after the backlash to XCX), I'm not really that surprised about the reaction.

The designs are fairly bad, but given that we haven't really seen the scope that Xenoblade games are known for, I'll wait to see what that looks like before I pass judgment. Ultimately, that's what the Xenoblade franchise is about to me more than plot (which was tested by XCX, admittedly).

Good, some will eat crow about graphics lol

 

[brinstar]

The trailer was all over the fucking place. I just want to see someone playing the game normally on treehouse if it's there.

Also the music samples posted earlier sound rad

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I thought Xeno girls are supposed to be sexy..

They are always sexy, yes.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Man, that music is great, but I need an exploration trailer to really get hype.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I'm normally not one complaining about stuff like this but this girl's boobs look absolutely ridiculous, like seriously what the hell were they thinking with this?

 

[Stone Ocean]

NOA will probably give her a bigger skirt.

It's not a skirt

 

[tiebreaker]

NOA will probably give her a bigger skirt.

oh god. Can't wait for the skirtgate.

The fuck is this atrocious design?

I noticed in the trailer her boobs were distractingly large, seemed weird.

 

[Auto_aim1]

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

Either XenoB1, or any of the Sagas

Yeah it's sad. That's why I never participate much in these threads.

 

[MsVariant]

they were thinking with their lower horn

Is that a requirement? I missed the Nintendo conf and am catching up on the announcements in case anything was to change my mind about buying a Switch. So far this game isn't cutting it, between the costume designs and the generic shonen adventure story I can't call this the tipping point for me ordering $300 hardware.

 

[Newtype-001]

Man that design 😣😣😣😣😣

I like the MCs voice tho

 

[night814]

Game looks like it could be really disjointed. It's like they put Tales or Disgaea characters in Xenoblades world. They should really consider speeding up the battles a bit, they looked even slower than XB and XBX. at least let me turn off auto attacking.

 

[luminous]

God just let this have dual audio. Game looks great but the voice acting is not only looking unfitting but also just not good going from this.

 

[Yui]

I liked it tbh (the horrible VA aside of course).
But NoA is going to censor everything about the female characters in this.

 

[CoolS]

I'm no native speaker, but I really liked the voic acting in the trailer. Character design is always the same with Xenoblade games, I will get used to them. Especially if you can change the armour liek in the past games.

And hnnnnnnnng@ the music. So good.

i'm unsure about 4th track translation tbh

Getting really strong Engage the Enemy vibes from the third one. Best Xenoblade song.

 

[brawly]

This voice acting is fucking woeful. I haven't laughed out loud at a dub in a while but this did it.

 

[Firemind]

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

I don't understand the complaint?

 

[7Th]

I don't see how the designs are any "worse" than Tharja or half of the Fates female cast. The again, it's not like people don't complain about Kozaki's FE designs all the time.

 

[xealo]

If there ever was a case with the visual design really not suiting the voice overs, it's probably this.

Oh well, still looking forward to it hugely if it turns out anywhere near as great as the Wii Xenoblade.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I wonder if that armor has story purposes, or is the helm part just a home for his little pet friend?

 

[azyless]

I'm normally not one complaining about stuff like this but this girl's boobs look absolutely ridiculous, like seriously what the hell were they thinking with this?

Nah man, this is totally how boobs work in Japan

 

[HotHamBoy]

I don't understand the complaint?

😐

 

[Irishonion]

Game looks large and fun to explore. Character designs....well..I'll get over it. And people complained about XCX.

 

[MsVariant]

😐

😐

 

[EDarkness]

I wasn't a fan of the trailer, but damn, I NEED this game now. Not sure why Monolithsoft has such a hard time doing trailers, but I don't care now. Looking forward to this game.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm normally not one complaining about stuff like this but this girl's boobs look absolutely ridiculous, like seriously what the hell were they thinking with this?

 

[pablito]

I'm completely fine with anime graphics but the designs are still hilarious. Yikes.

 

[Ledsen]

I don't understand the complaint?

It's easier to just go find some hentai online and get your business done, no need to bring it into this game. Although I have no idea who would find these "tits" (they barely qualify) attractive.

 

[Wagram]

Looks really framey at times and the voice acting sucks.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Story ruined. I can't take this seriously.

 

[Dark_castle]

Homura artwork by Saitom.

Just...why. Why would any woman wants to wear like that. Why.

 

[Death Penalty]

Yeesh. That was a really poor showing in almost every regard.

 

[shadow2810]

I don't understand the complaint?

To some big boobs is bad, all girls should have same boob size.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Looks really framey at times and the voice acting sucks.

What doesn't help is Nintendo's insistence of uploading their trailers in highly compressed 720p

 

[crinale]

From what I'm seeing Japanese gamers are really liking the Character design.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Story ruined. I can't take this seriously.

This is pretty much the standard for anime games. I wouldn't think too much about it.

 

[peakish]

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

Either XenoB1, or any of the Sagas

Yes, I'm sure that noone on GAF played Xenoblade Chronicles.

 

[A Serious Man]

Maybe the central characters being extremely well-endowed children will be explained in the story and everyone in this thread will be ashmed of their words and deeds. I assume we'll get to see the lead male characters huge package at some point.

 

[Rodin]

Just...why. Why would any woman wants to wear like that. Why.

Ask KOS-MOS or "Seven" from the first episode?

Yes, I'm sure that noone on GAF played Xenoblade Chronicles.

Yeah, either that or good old concern trolling.

 

[LAA]

Pleasantly surprised! Was expecting 2018.
Looking forward to it, but... didn't look as great as before this time I thought. Especially backgrounds/blur effects.

 

[Kysen]

English voice acting lol, Japanese version for me if I bite.

 

[cryptosporidium]

Why cant you copy and paste this???? Smash shulk suh gud

 

[Firemind]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[RPGCrazied]

So, 6 or 7 characters? The little heropon thing is missing from the keyart, and the end shot in the trailer is missing the guy with the blue sword.
