Why all the hate? You can customize the character's appearance.

no you cant, that's not the main character you can customize, it's another one.

I hope they did some more work on the hit detection. In the TGS gameplay the party sometimes didn't even make contact with the enemy (a good foot and a half away) but it still cleared as a hit.

That bothered me quite a bit as well..
The slow janky combat in general left a bad taste in my moth when it was last demo'ed.

However, that was last year..I'm sure it's more tightened up by now, if not by the time it releases.

yeah, the main character stays as he is, as does pink haired girl (and the older guy too i think) theres another character in your team which you customize like that

I think I'm going to irrationally hate that character.

First thing I thought.

That said, I can&t wait to play this game. The battle system gives me a Vagrant Story vibe, which is a good thing.

Tailzo · Jun 29, 2008

The video makes me think the game could be a nice co-op game. The other characters are AI controlled, right?

Looks pretty nice. Until you see those "how to draw manga" characters :/

LiquidMetal14 · Jun 29, 2008

I wonder if these character faces will make the game score lower?

No_Style · Jun 29, 2008

Is this in-game? If so, then the new screens are a downgrade.

Probably just some poor screens.

A Moogle that got picked on in school for being different. Like those kids with big penises and one kid ended up having the smallest of the bunch.

They aren't ugly, they're just too basic.

The characters look generic because you can customize their look, no? That guy is like default anime boy template #1.

There are FMVs in the game so you can't customize the main characters' looks.

I don't care so much about the generic look though; no one complains about bald space marines and Gears of Wars as being "generic". What's more important is the gameplay, the music, the set-pieces and the journey in general.

No, you can only customize your avatar who is a support character. The rest are locked in.

Well it can't possibly equal 15 fps can it? I mean that's where Lost Odyssey shines. Or maybe it's the 10 second loading between each battle.

Seconded. The character designs need a total overhaul to get me interested at this point.

I'm gonna have to agree with you on this one. White Knight Story looks incredibly generic (like Last Remnant or Infinite Undiscovery). Then again, it's very tough judging a game by screens alone.

Wow. THIS is much better...

Hcoregamer00 · Jun 29, 2008

do you guys think the english subtitles will be in the japanese version? or is that just for the trailer?

zoukka said:
It's not the overall art-style or the clothes. Theyre fine. It's the faces that creep the shit out of me...

what...the eyes not big enough? Not enough zippers, shades, and spiky hair? That guy is actually one of the more decent looking jrpg characters in recent memory because he looks more normal and not inspired by runway fashion.

Zoe · Jun 29, 2008

What's so different about it? You can see that thing in the trailer.

It's amazing you managed to spot a downgrade from these tiny screens. So tell me which elements of the game got downgraded? Faces have the exact same geometry and texturing btw.

tell me: why is it that the faces in the original target "render" look so much freaking better than the ones in these new shots? Are you going to tell me that the faces still look the same? Still FEEL the same?

MassiveAttack · Jun 29, 2008

Screens are from 9 months ago.

stotch · Jun 29, 2008

Isn't the main character's face customizable? I'm excited for the game. Looks like there's a lot of cool stuff in it.

The lighting. One is a dusky close up with his head turned slightly, the other is further away with a bright light source right in front of the front-facing character. They are exactly the same.

Paznos · Jun 29, 2008

I think a lot of the new RPG's coming out have generic character models, except for Tales of Vesperia, every other game seems pretty generic.

stotch · Jun 29, 2008

Do you mean only the giant white knight is customizable? I know I saw a vidoe of normal character customization. Here it is from http://gamersyde.com/leech_4707_en.html.

The avatar is another human character who could be male or female.

Go to Character and click on the three at the top. You're the guy on the right.

I hate Nomura. Just to make things clear here.

Metalmurphy · Jun 29, 2008

I dunno how anyone can doubt this game's graphics / art style after the last insane trailer...

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22732.html

CowboyAstronaut · Jun 29, 2008

The graphics really of no concern to me because I know those will be fantastic.

I'm not too taken in by the character design because they don't look all that cool or if they aren't going to look cool they should stand out a bit more and not come off as characters that should be NPC. They look a bit too ordinary. I wonder if the main character still runs like a girl? :lol

Other than that I'm really looking forward to this game.

The one area where I need to see more is in the battle system. Last time they showed it it didn't look so hot. I'm pretty much in the same boat with Infinite Undiscovery's battle system. Need to see more of that as well.

I agree Murphy. Nobody should be doubting this game's graphics at all. It looks fantastic.

Death_Born · Jun 29, 2008

Jeez, the character designs took a turn for the horrible.

That boy main character's new face looks like an inbred hick. And then that freaky Frodo Baggins/Moogle rip-off.

Just, ugh. PS3 am cry.

boys shouldn't have ponytails.

Sagi disagrees.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
