Nothing is even getting close to it anyway... At least there's something for me in the Xenoblade games that gives me a little part of the feeling from this time.

I dont think I would be able to contain my hype if a remake was announced some day.
That it's shitty? Thankfully she's not a party member or that prominent.What is your thought process on Lorithia's breast window and the ever so battle ready no pants on?
Also good lord at the pedo comments. that does not apply to this character. Lmao
cute, though I personally would have gone with tights or spats. Miniskirts like that are more of a hassle to keep on.
They can't remake VII without splitting the game in 3-4 parts, I can't imagine how many parts they would need for Gears.

They're hotpants not a skirt.
I would really love a Xenoblade X2 about solemn old men.
The story is told also by the characters. When you talk about coming of age and boy meets girl that sounds so lovely in theory until you see the characters that will participate in that story and you realise how a cute story has the potential to become awful quite fast. It's a deep story or is a teenage fantasy?

Oh, that makes more sense. Should have zoomed and enhanced a bit more.
They could pass for panties. Quite the versatile design if I do say so myself.

Probably the same with the line about him only doing games where the MC's hometown burns or a spaceship crashes.
But nobody forces people to focus on the "skirt" or stuff like that. I personaly don't and all I see is characters with nice facial animations who seem pretty serious about what's happening in their life. That's what I enjoy.
I prefer X chara design but I think 2's is well fitting for its own series.
I'm used to characters no moving and dialog windows so I also enjoyed X despite the fact there was less animation overall. Works both ways for me and sure it's improving.
Xenoblade X2 should just continue being about an all-powerful planet fucking with all its inhabitants.
An interesting story is great, but as far as I'm concerned, the main focus should still be on exploring beautifully designed environments.
So is that the solemn old man, or the hot stylish guy?

The former. Those are solemn eyes.
I don't know about that. Considering the trailer we saw was in English, if anything was to be censored they would have done so already in the trailer.

Is there any news on dual audio support yet?
Trailer said english only, our only hope is a downloadable jpn language pack (like Persona 5) and i hope it will happen because the japanese dub sounds massively better than the english one.
I wish we had gotten another segment for XC2 in the Treehouse stream, showing off another titan's environment or something. Even more battles would've been fine by me. I still don't get how that combo system they tried to show off in the first one works.
I absolutely cannot wait for this game.
Splatoon has one for official twitter updates so I don't see why XC2 couldn't.

Fwiw, I'd love to see a thread like that here

Looking good at hoe the world is built around titans to be fully explored and reading the OP message I would say this won't be a issue at all
The contracts for the VA talent have probably been signed and done for a while now, we can only hope they aren't of the "absolutely not under any circumstances" type or the "trainloads of cash please" type when it comes to using original VA overseas.

It's going to be impossible to capture the magic of Xenoblade 1. Shit character designs won't help either.

Only difference is she has more skin covered.
I think its problematic we all feel the need to aggressively cover people's skins.Its oppressive and demeaning. stop fearing your nakedness will be judged.
Sharla's boobs jiggle too.
I know because I spent hours watching them lol
You seem more worried about being judged for looking at half naked women when you're remiss to the fact that women like to walk around half naked.
The story doesnt work if you're Elma though lmao (because Elma's already aware of all the narrative revelations because she's the one keeping secrets.
Think of it as an evolution of a turn based games rather than being based off MMO hotbars

Actually Xenoblade Chronicles X was originally a story driven game built around a single protagonist and was reworked at the last minute to include online functionality.
Going by what is in Xenoblade X its clear that Lin is the games main character. X starts with Lin narating the opening cutscene and ends with lin driving a car around new LA.
Edit: Although Elma is great, and deserves her own prequel Metal Gear Rising style.

"At the last minute" might not be entirely accurate. If I'm remembering correctly, it happened about midway through development. It seems like the avatar system and plans for online were already in place by the January 2013 reveal.
I'm not sure if replacing the protagonist with an avatar for online functionality was the sole reason for dropping the story focus partway through the development of XCX. Here's a section of an interview with Takahashi (source)
English-only for this one.

Thats not the right frame to look at the game, the plan was always to emphasize the exploration elemetns and the gameplay in favor of the narrative, and the big changes came before they had to redo the narrative to implement online aspects.

Did any of you even bother with the online in X? Was it any good?
Free items, free money, loot gathering...it works while not being obstructive to single player experience.
Turns out at last minute was inaccurate. It was closer to midway through the development that the game was reworked naratively. Heres a link to the Iwata Asks interview on the game where it is mentioned.(not sure how to post quotes from other sites)
"We had a mass construction to change the player character into an avatar" Genki Yokota - he led software planning and development on XCX.

Edit: I never did online missions, but i occasionally hired scouts on my first run through to help level up and the free loot was nice. From the videos i saw on youtube some of the superboss raid type gameplay looked fun. Very Destiny like with a JRPG combat system.
It's garbage if you expect any sort of decent online multiplayer. It all seemed to function just so you get rare stuff easier for single player.
Even when it was active I dont think anyone really enjoyed having to do X amount of thing to even get a chance to play a multi mission, finally getting in the multi misison and one shotting everything or doing the "raid" boss missions over and over again which consisted of you smacking a boss that really doesnt pose a threat for 8 minutes so you could cash out.

Honestly I think they may have saved a lot of the stuff for the sequel because they had guessed that being on the WiiU wasn't doing the game any favors.

I'm not sure if I'd go that far considering the game's general direction was already finalized by the January 2013 reveal which was too early to know about the Wii U's sales performance.

I almost thought it was kinda crazy they were developing this while doing Xenoblade X especially since some of the staff helped with Breath of the Wild, but they most likely had most of X done by the time this game was being developed since Xenoblade was released in 2010 in Japan and Takahashi was probably already thinking about what to do far as XCX goes.

Just think of the game it could have been if they didn't waste development time on that garbage and put it towards something more productive.
No. There was an "english-only" disclaimer in the European version of the trailer, but for Europe that probably means they're not localizing the voice work into any other languages Euro games usually get localized into like spanish.
People just love jumping to conclusions. The whole thing about voice work being bad is jumping to conclusions in itself too, I feel like every other RPG that gets localized lately gets trashed for the voices when trailers get released and then as soon as the games are out people realize they were fine. See Persona 5 for example.
It isn't about that. It's about what is likely meant to be a young character dressing in an embarrassingly ridiculous way. That isn't a thing people wear. She was literally designed with the thought of, "Let's show her ass."
That's the problem. It's part of an overall issue of looking at women as objects.
Uh, no. The vast majority of women do not "walk around half naked."
But thank you for the insight into your thought process here.
It's not confirmed confirmed. There was a line in all of the EU trailers that said English only but because it didn't show up in the US trailer, the thought is that it was more to specify the lack of a dub in French/German/Italian/Spanish vs the lack of the original Japanese dub.
Besides they could always add it in later via free DLC or update if there's enough interest.
Edit: Beaten!

The game isn't based in reality. Most games aren't.
What!?
Jeez, thank you for only replying to that and not the larger point I was making. That totally changes the problem with pushing a culture that objectifies women. I apologize.
