It's always the same, you can have all the sliders in the world, for every single bone in the face and whatnot. But if you put a boob slider in there, there will always be people that complain.

People complaining should also not forget that a slider works in both ways. Would those of you be happier if the developers for example said. "You know, there are always people that complain about stuff like that, so let's just go with pretty big ones and don't let people choose themselves." Happier now?


edit
Urgh, damn, i really didn't want to have this post on the top of the site, since i actually would prefer the discussion wouldn't even be about that.

something interesting is that in the quest board footage Cross is already in the assault class at rank 4 and Elma has also moved onto the final class in that tree the Full metal Jaguar even though they are only level 10. So the question have they had their stats edited or will progression throught classes happen quickly.

They have been keeping the story under wrap for so long now, i think they wont even reveal more tidbits until the game launches. I think we're in for something crazy, remember the giant mech in the 2nd trailer? We're basically clueless about the enemy outside of the intro and their attack of earth which led the humans to flee on the new planet.

I don't care about how you play your game or design your main character, but this kind of stuff completely ruins discussions about the game. Just take a look at some creepy comments in this very thread.

Seems to be some decent depth to the character creation but I'm curious to know if there's a form of armor crafting(lite version?) or whether that stuff is simply unlocked and bought at different stages of the game.

Given that Shulk's Japanese VA is the default Male character, I wouldn't be surprised if we get Adam Howden as the default here. I'd bet on getting at least some British VA.

edit: oh my god and the hot-blooded voice is reyn

PLEAAAASE LET OUR CREATED CHARACTER USE REYN'S VOICE

oh also melia is the high-class female voice

if they also got the English Melia VA for that voice, I might have to go with a female character/companion.

Man this game

THIS GAME

I haven't been this hyped about a game in years.

Looks good! The music was sounding to be the only track I've liked so far with its gentle simplicity but then, the high-pitched obnoxious electronics entered and it lost me. But that's Sawano for you. Loves his excesses.

I'm excited to play this but I will go on record as saying that Monolith's character designs really don't impress me. In my opinion the original Xenoblade Chronicles had some pretty questionable art in terms of the characters that populated that game. I don't know if it is the shape of their faces or their eyes or their foreheads but something is just "off".

Hopefully the character creator will alleviate this somewhat.

On the other hand, Monolith knows how to do environments and battle systems so at least the game should be fun and huge.

What's wrong with a boob slider? Boobs aren't one size in real life.

Yessss!
Same reason why people disappointed with the map size (or rather, variety) need to realize there will be much more to be seen and explored than we have been shown.

When I watched the character creation video on the website, at about 0:32 It looks like that "perfect" girl from The 5th Element. Just need to change the hair...

There is almost no chance of that happening. Jenna Coleman is famous now. It would be a waste of money, hate to say it, the price she'd come for. If she even had the time.

Anybody who is hoping for more variety after everything that has been shown, shouldn't have watched the exploration map trailer.

You were already getting the game, should have went on an exploration black out. Even the first Xenoblade's Exploration trailer showed a majority of the levels. Outisde a few levels I'll be pleasantly surprised if there is an equal number (or more) of different areas to what's been shown

There is actually more variety than they've shown, especially within the areas themselves. The white ash continent isn't only going to look like that, there are other locales in the same area. We've only seen glimpses and bits, but it also appears there are a large number of caves and caverns to explore, along with the diversity within one area itself.

I'm really excited for XCX and 3D. I missed the first Xenoblade Chronicles despite being really interested in Project Rainfall. I was hyped we were getting all of these new RPGs for the Wii but then I got caught up in my classes/fraternity and got away from gaming for a little bit, meaning I missed out on my chance to buy these games when they were originally available.

Humm. I wonder if you can create an almost naked character like Shulk's skin from Smash for the whole game :p

I don't think there will be speedos (lol), but going by that picture you will probably be able to make them completely naked from the top up with those tight shorts, just like in the first.

Man, maybe it's just me but seeing these screenshots, especially the really bizarre and alien stuff...makes me wish Nintendo would make a Wii U Metroid game. I know they said they're looking into it, but seeing what it could look like is getting me HYPED

There are so few things I want in this world more than a beautiful, HD WiiU Metroid.

Yeah people really have no idea how huge these continents really are. Just a fraction of a continent could take a long while to explore, and that one fraction could be completely different from the rest of the continent. People really need to stop focusing on the "5" and start looking at the bigger picture. These are huge landmasses with different landscapes sprinkled about.

I was just thinking, especially epic when you combine it with this type of music:

Well, we actually do have a fairly good idea... here's something I posted a while ago regarding the scale of the game, comparing maps to in-game views (well more like just one view)

Here's the map that they've showed up so far: http://i.imgur.com/jOpIq5k.png + Slighlty bigger view of Primordial Wilderness: http://i.imgur.com/s177goM.png
If you watched either of the Treehouse demo's, the general path they took is lined in pink on this image: http://i.imgur.com/1H3Qwxb.png
It's pretty crazy that their 40 min demo only covered such a tiny space.
And here... is the player walking up to the walls of New Los Angeles in Primordial Wilderness:http://youtu.be/WTW1sjmoY2c?t=39m52s

Seeing the city walls up close gives a little bit of a sense of how big it actually is. We've also seen in glimpses just how big the interior is. There's also this (EDIT: Woops wrong link earlier) [http://imgur.com/a/4XloN] a gallery of shots from Primordial Wilderness, with an arrow indicated on the map with general location and direction. One thing I noticed, is because the game renders stuff so far in the distance, everything looks much closer than it actually is (partly because of how large everything is relative to you).

never left the stone age
I think I figured out the big twist!

The humans we see are actually androids who took over earth, which explains their doll like appearance. The big bad is actually real humans who were driven out of earth when the androids decided they were dangerous. Or something. That's why there barely are any plot details, nor any actual pics of the main enemy.


Yeah that sounds about right.

I was being facetious and am aware of it, hence the word companion. But I did actually really like her voice acting last time.

Ah ha yeah I missed that, guess you did. She really did do a great job with Melia, I agree.

Might depend on who's naked. Make Dunban naked and you may as well have won. An exaggeration, but yes. Also I don't know Japanese but I heard there was a pec slider if you look at the CC in the Treehouse video. No idea if it's true though.

There is a "Body" subheading that hasn't been shown on either the site or the Treehouse footage, so you might get your wish...

This might be what the person I heard it from was talking about, possibly assuming that there would be something like that in there.
