We've seen a cosmetics store in the game. Just because they haven't mentioned it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I really hope the add Japanese vo after release like they did for zelda because man that's painful
Apparently different locations will have different battle themes. I don't know if they'll have a unique theme for each Titan, but expect two or three at the very least.

Monsters they fought in demo had their health raised so the could show off the physical and elemental combo chains.
I think we got a translation a few pages earlier, but this seems like a better one.
Thank you for sharing!

I'm worried that cosmetics will just be dying your armor and your Blades.

I think the VA will be fine but the issue is the dialogue not matching up with the scenes they're showing. Easiest explanation is that they got the footage from the japanese build but didn't sync the VA properly when cutting the trailers.
Unless it's a horrible rush job, don't recall any of Nintendo's games suffering from that.
I do like the return to the british accents so I hope it's good

Man, I was a little bummed about no character customization, but hearing a this talk about no armor customization is killing me. The art style of some characters is bad enough, but not being able to cover that mug up with a helmet or something is probably a deal breaker.
Just moved this to a big fat maybe.

For the special edition? It's not listed yet.

Really hope for this too, my main fear regarding this game is having to play it in English audio.
Thanks! I'vre tried at Best Buy and Gamestop, but they didn't process my order

This song was meh, but I legitimately loved the soundtrack in XCX. Like, there are songs in that that could get me hyped while playing like few things can.

I watched via my wiiU yesterday, it looked gorgeous

Not really, maybe the monsters vs the humans, but walking through town the humans fit the environment pretty well

It was a similar problem in XCX where you have these stunning environments and awesome creature designs, but awkward looking characters that just look out of place.
Yep. Went up yesterday.

So I preordered from Best Buy with Paypal and they charged me immediately. Will this drop off or is this the actual, one-time charge for the game?
Sorry, I usually preorder from Amazon, but I might be done with them on the video games front.

They are out of place, they're the aliens on the planet.

They are in space armor like 99% of the time. Unless you were zooming in on faces I kind of disagree.
"Camera angle." Right.
GoNintendo did a few other comparisons of characters and shots from the recent footage to earlier stuff. Everything is definitely improving.

Enjoy it! EB apparently just got a reprint done on the downlow. Pretty cool of them.

Blu ray versus broadcast
There were days when a sealed Xenoblade Chronices copy were a relic of myth. Congrats.

Rex should be dressed like a samurai or something. Time to ditch the lame scuba gear.

Almost every comparison shows clear improvements, except for this one.
Overall detail is better, but lighting and shadows somehow got worse

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
If not, I'm out. I find the blade armor to be completely ridiculous.

Sorry, I meant stylistically. Realistic environments with very stylised characters.
So you're ok with the character designs as long as they're hidden under armour and not shown in close up shots? Yeah I can agree with that.
Don't get me wrong I love XCX, it's my 2nd favourite Wii U game. And I don't have a huuuge problem with how the characters look, it just they're a bit meh compared to everything else.
I like the new Rex face so much more, looks actually more expressive and less doll-ish.

It's a temp charge just to verify you have the funds, it'll be reversed after a few days, then they'll really charge you when it ships/when you pick it up at the store.
At least that's how it works with a card payment, not sure about PayPal tbh.
When you get a certain amount of points you get credit added to your account. 250 points = $5 voucher to your account.
Actually, looks like it's just a different time of day. The first game had cutscenes take place at night if you went into them at night, it's likely the same thing here.
I agree. Such a shame. Ah well, hopefully I'll adapt.
It would probably have to be DLC content due to space issues. Possible I suppose. Square Enix and Atlus both did it eventually.
Fixed that for you

Wow, that looks notably better. Good to see these improvements even months out from release.
