Did I see Tetsuya Nomura's name on that E3 trailer!? Or did I imagine that?!
Some people think exploration is what games should be all about, while some are like no no, story is whats best. Well weve got something perfect for both of those kinds of people: Xenoblade 2.
KOS-MOS is hot, but not so skimpy that her attire literally looks stripperific. In regards to roles, she is her own battle weapon and character, and not subservient to anyone, even Shion most of the time. I'll withhold my judgment on Pyra, but she's def a lot kinkier looking than KOS-MOS.she is actually in line with the other female protagonists regarding her design
Same here, absolutely. I haven't really enjoyed many of the main characters in Xeno games in years which has made it hard to enjoy the overarching stories too, so I'm not really expecting that much from the story anyway. Would be nice if it surprised me positively, though.
I mean, the original XC had its fair share of miserable characters and tragedy.
Pretty much the entirety ofand theMelia'sarcs are tragic.High Entia

I wouldn't mind if it doesn't meet 2017 deadline, it just looks like a standart rpg, but it's not mindblowing like XCX was in its time.
Elma is basically the main character in X as the story revolves the most around her. We just need her to be the lead party member in the sequel.

I was going to post a Elma pic but that was a massive spoiler

The ribbon straps leading to her tiny thong-shorts is what does it for me. KOS-MOS is in a leotard basically. Albeit with generous cleavage and midriff.
I really don't see how Pyra is more kinkier.

I'm not saying XB wasn't tragic at times, it just seems that this is much more light-hearted which is a bit of a bummer.
Lol i thought it said Tetsuya Nomura
He's a guest designer on this project!Lol i thought it said Tetsuya Nomura
Regarding my breasts argument, just ask yourself this: Would a female designer have designed her the same way? Most likely not. This screams straight male teenager fantasy. Says a lot about the designer, as well, if you ask me.I agree with criticisms about the clothing; the way the character's dressed is pretty blatantly for fanservice purposes. But I think the rest of your thoughts are pretty weak. I'm not sure where the ceasing to exist thing comes from, but I thought the "I love this world..." line was pretty cute, why do you think that line comes from a place of dependance rather than romantic love and how is that harmful representation? We're missing context for it but that's something I'd expect on a valentine's card. And I don't feel like having big breasts is a bad thing for female representation, I've read several comments that read like they expect breasts to fall within a certain size range or that somehow makes the character worse or less credible or something. I'm pretty sure there's plenty of cool and capable women with big breasts in this world we live in. Again, I think it's the clothing that's obviously pandering to a male audience that's the problem that clashes with the character traits that the game probably wants her to have, not any of her physical attributes.
I... don't think I could write more than 5 sentences about what the story in this game is about, much less produce any sort of judgement on how light-hearted it is.
There are plenty of pandering designs done by females. Solange from Code of Princess as an example.Regarding my breasts argument, just ask yourself this: Would a female designer have designed her the same way? Most likely not.

Well, I mean, she likely does die if Link dies or if he never woke up in time. And why do you keep bringing up that quote/line in the game? People already told you she is referring to multiple people when she said that.This avatar bites me in the ass all the time it seems.
Yes, you're right. Zelda is a bad example of good female character representations in video games. But at least Zelda isn't dressed like that. And she doesn't cease to exist if Link dies. She doesn't have over-dimensional breasts. She doesn't "love this world because Link's in it." Etc.
Female designers can and do design characters like her. Could still just be done to pander to a male demographic, but they do.Regarding my breasts argument, just ask yourself this: Would a female designer have designed her the same way? Most likely not.

Don't worry, if Nintendo's efforts in recent years are anything to go by, they will give her pants for the Western version.
Eh I think this version is more comparable what with the mini skirt and all.
That being said, we obviously know a TON more about KOS-MOS as a character than we know about Pyra so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. At least it seems like she's the one with the goal of getting to Elysium and Rex is her support vs that being his goal and her just going along with it because she wants to protect him/loves him/whatever.
I would not object to slightly less skimpy shorts though. At least Sharla-level, that would make a big difference.
Are you the one in Kiseki threads complaining about how happy everything is? Go play Witcher or something, man. Fiction is depressing enough, I like a change of pace.

"A young adult story with a taste of boy-meets-girl. Lately it feels like all Ive been doing are games full of devastation, like where your hometown burns down at the start, or the spaceship youre riding crashes(oh wait, that is all I ever do). Sometimes I just wanna try something different!
I've always liked the second image of KOS-MOS over the top one. I think she's a much better designed character than Pyra.
I don't believe this for a second. It's not a Takahashi game until the protagonist loses their hometown/starting location in a horrible accident.
For what it's worth, the first Xenoblade had the first village spared.

The point of the image was to show that Kos-Mos was/is every bit of a fan service "weapon" girl design as Pyra.
Do you have a source for this? I would gladly shut up if true.
Didn't seem like a detail any more gratuitous than in the original Xenoblade. Unless the suggestion is that they shouldn't move at all?Yeah, but I kind of feel that Pyra is a little too much. I think I even saw boob jiggle in the stream the other day.

It's from the Japanese trailer. I'm definitely no expert but it sounds like she does say "minna" so the plural you not the singular you.

Indeed. Sharla was the first example who came to mind for me, but yeah, her too.
Lets not forget about this one from Xenoblade.
I'd say all of KOS-MOS's forms are more tasteful. Personal opinion, of course.The point of the image was to show that Kos-Mos was/is every bit of a fan service "weapon" girl design as Pyra.
Hm, any given KOS-MOS design with the exception of Ep. II seemed just as fan servicey to me.I'd say all of KOS-MOS's forms are more tasteful. Personal opinion, of course.
