- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Does the website confirm if gorgeous piece is Tanaka's?
It totally looks like his stuff and it's exactly what I've been waiting to see
I think it says it's by Tsukamoto Yoko
Ah, well whoever it's by, I'm a fan!
and goddamn at those voice options. The localization team has their work cut out for them

Art is by Yuko Tsukamoto. She worked on character and enemy design according to the page. According to the cpation she designed Lu/Ru/goat horn head.

This armour looks great, hopefully most of it is up to that standard. Xenoblade had a lot of ugly gear in it.
Also, those environment shots have got me so hyped! I'm really feeling it!

So you can assign a voice to your character that's done by different voice-actors, right? There seems to be a bunch of them.
I hope the localised version has some British accents.

I'll take 8
But it's the US Colony ship that crashed. It makes sense to have American voice actors.

This year. Please understand.
Looking phenomenal.
Not valid./ We need a date set in stone .... and not just for EU either >_>

Argh!
for the overall population? yes. For one specific character it could still be British, though.
I do wonder, with so many voice actors for the player character. They really are only going to be grunts and battle quotes, right?

Getting strong Alvis vibes from Horn-guy.

I'm getting some major Halo 3 meets Shadow of the Colossus vibes from this one.
I agree, but what would be in between () to describe her voice?!?
I'm OK with listening to Yui Ogura whispering for hours tbh, I'm assuming this game is going to be dual language?

"Greeting fellow Hoo-Mahns. It is a great day for Bree-Thing, yes?"
Faces look okay if you put the effort in to make them look okay, there are some super bad ones tho. Personally I'm more bothered by the giant anime fivehead syndrome.
As long as the size range is reasonable and realistic, what/s the problem?
Quite a big update. A lot of nice info in there. And that art is so damn nice.
Remember, these are just presets for faces, you can totally customize a face based on the info from Famitsu (I think).
Everything is looking really good.
I might play as a clown in shorts.

Looks glorious. Sure wish this would come out this Summer.
I guess the 'Kansai' voice would be replaced by a British one
Usually they use a southern drawl for the Kansai voice in English dubs.
Some of them look great, but others not so much... The artstyle of Xenoblade is generally weird. Semi-realistic look but on the same time it has characteristics of an anime. It's not bad and personally I start to like it, but I can see why some people dislike it.

If everyone on a US ship had a British accent I think that'd be a little odd...

Maybe I've missed it in the coverage, but do we have a clue what the story of this game is, like, at all? Is there any sign of actual villains?
I'm sure both will be part of the final game, but I feel like I haven't heard mention of either the story (beyond the initial crashing on the planet, anyway) or who will be antagonizing our party.
XB made it clear pretty early that Mechons were the main foe, and that was a driving force for a good chunk of the game, but I feel like we haven't seen any sign of enemies other than the things wandering the world in XCX so far.

Better odd than annoying (because the American voices in games and movies are quite often annoying, not because I don't like the American accent in general). And it's not about everyone, it's about your character and (I hope) the other party members (especially Lin). The rest can be as American as they want.
The Japanese voice of Elma is so nice, I could see it translated very well in a British voice.
I'll take even a Scottish accent than an American one.

We know the opening of the game and that's about it, they've said multiple times that they want to keep the story a surprise.
American voices=annoying?
Okay, you edited, but that's still a gross over exaggeration.

Environments look amazing, so much variety. It's so good to see a big RPG that's not generic high fantasy.
But accepting a Scottish accent would be accepting a British accent which is your wish...?
It's obvious from what we've seen yet that some of the aliens are the enemies/villans. Like the ones that attacked Earth and the ship. Or the ones shown in the last video (the big masked armed ones). We don't know if those are the same with the first ones.
Yeah, I know what you mean, but you also know what I meant.
Edit:
It's my opinion and experience. I just want options.
Did you watch the e3 2014 trailer?

My kneejerk distaste for boob stuff aside,
Man specific targeting of body parts, with a monster design that's highly impressive with an engaging open-world along with what made the original Xenoblade great. Now show me Mech customization and the build your own mech lab and you will have me frothing at the mouth,

With ten voices to choose from for each gender, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for not all of them to have American accents. Give me a British or Aussie voice as an option. Or how about some non-native accents for a change? French, Eastern European, German etc. Would be a breath of fresh air.
