People whining about mute protags:
There have been quite a few great JRPGs featuring protagonists that prefer to let others do the talking while under the player's control:
I think there's still room for silent protagonists in RPGs, though it's impossible to say what kind of impact it'll have on this particular game until we can play it for ourselves.

Yet that image misses one of the best ones!

... I think this thread may have gotten off topic?
If nothing else this thread reminded me that I don't like silent protags, but also reminded me that Persona 3/4 has silent protags and I really liked those games. So we'll see what Xenoblade 2 does with it.

I've said many times that it isn't the silent thing I am worried about, but the being completely customizable. There is a difference. Like every single one of the characters posted in the "good silent protagonists lolwtfpwned" pictures have still been set characters. Furthermore, being able to switch characters is irrelevant to what the game considers your character/the main character. As an example; Vaan is still your character in FF12 even if he is irrelevant and shoehorned into the story and even though you can switch around who you control.
Now remember, this has always also been just me saying things that are worrying me about the game from what we know, not me hating on the game before it even comes out. From the gameplay side of it the thing that has worried me from early on was the multiplayer stuff, and hoping that it doesn't take away from the single player aspects of the game. And now the DLC stuff worries me as well. There isn't a right or wrong about these things, just how they can possibly effect each of our individual enjoyment.

Not sure if it's possible to search just this thread, but you can use Google to search NeoGAF for animated gifs: https://www.google.com/search?site=...xenoblade+x&tbm=isch&tbs=itp:animated#imgrc=_

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Idk why the multiplayer would have you worried about the singleplayer, just because big publishers have 3 hour campaigns where everything else is in multiplayer, that doesn't mean for some reason Xenoblade X is gonna end up like that, especially when it's MOnolithsoft, they aren't some company dedicated to online multiplayer, they make RPGs.
Too much effort just to try out TheMoon's theory lol
Plus I recently changed my avatar, its TOO SOON

This has been going on since it was announced and we saw first hints of online. It's buzzword culture. You hear the buzzword, you project your worst fears into it based on unrelated experiences and there you go. That's how you end up with people running around like headless chicken yelling about how XenobladeX will be like Monster Hunter, lacking in story and whatnot.

Thanks to evanmisha in the Doll Direct thread, Sawano has uploaded a sample of the soundtrack on his youtube.

Sawano really likes coming up with convoluted ways of spelling track names, doesn't he?
(Edit: time to order the OST)

How many vocal tracks does one game need? around the middle section it is just one vocal track after the next.
Makes me wonder what will the localizers will do with them, replace the vocals with instruments i hope?

Getting Mitsuda on board redoing the whole thing? If only...
Thanks! Nice works as always! Guess that's where the planet name "Mira" came from...

LOL Black Tar is the codename for everyones favorite battle theme.
*-Chaotic Dance 2 in Baten Kaitos Origins is an example of this. The "praise the lord ... it isn't over yet" lyrics are replaced with "hey hey heeey ... swing your body" in the US version.
**-Tales of games where the JPOP openings either get replaced or vocal-less version. I remember when Tales of Phantasia GBA did this for the opening but left the NPC dog that plays the song intact...so a dog barking the lyrics was the first time that franchise had the song intact.
Only if the lyrics are inappropriate* or they don't have rights to the singers**.
I hope the dub all the songs into Japanese

Ooooh there are songs with JPN vocals. Interested to see how they'll localize them. I wouldn't mind translated vocals. Then they can rerecord the songs with the awkward pronunciation as well. (◡‿◡✿
Anyway the OST sounds spectacular. There are some really epic songs in there. Even though I skipped through it because it feels a bit spoilery. Usually I don't listen to an OST until after I finished a game.

wow cool... will read while waiting for doll/network presentation to start
Some tracks reminds me of Gundam Unicorn's OST, which is my favorite Sawano OST.

Aaaah I love your icon! Ahahaha.
Why would the localizers do anything with the OST? And as for the bolded...no.
It's the best track. You know it to be true.
Which songs are in japanese? I couldn't find them. Thera are four tracks in disc 3 with japanese names, but out of the three played they all appear to be mostly instrumental. On the other hand, tracks 13 and 14 from disc 1 are apparently sung in broken German!

You do know that localization has nothing to do with music, right? Everything will remain as is.

I'm at 10 minutes now, and I'm loving this sooooo much... great music! There's a beautiful song at 5:21, by the way.

Interesting, so you can basically download the stuff other games would install from the eShop instead?
No, they're offering a solution to bring owners of the physical version up to the speed of those with the digital version, like they said they would.

Many of these tracks have multiple parts to them, and they highlighted many of the vocal aspects in this teaser since many people pay more attention to vocal tracks. Case in point, the third track EX.01 sounds like it's all vocal, but we actually heard this track in the battle direct [from 12:07-13:45] (https://youtu.be/E3l9Vp62KX4?t=12m7s), and the vocals only play for that short part in the teaser, the rest is intrumentals and it's pretty awesome.

He composed this soundtrack right after finishing Gundam Unicorn. Worked on this for a large part of 2012 into 2013, and then worked on Attack on Titan after. I'm pretty confident this OST will be AMAZING overall.
And yeah, this game is HUGE, and everything is seamless. To load that insane map all at once off a disc is insane, so they were thinking about ways to make faster load times. They're not FIXING anything, they're optimizing.

I thought 13 was Japanese oops. I saw the German title, but figured that was just to make it seem fancy. I can't really recognize the language, I just assumed Japanese due tot he j-pop sound lol. Eh, makes it less likely it'll get new vocals for the localization.

Yes there will be DLC quests. No we won't know what they are. No they didn't cut out any content. Yes the game is still gonna overwhelm you with stuff to do. No you're not justified to panic. Great talk.

Well, I know, I just didn't expect that. We'll see, I guess.

The most likely scenario is that it's more Squad Quests/Missions. Because it makes sense to extend the online co-op aspects with additional content. After all, you'll want to be showing off your Lv 99 character with its end-game Doll rocking insane gear and put it to good use.
