Support NeoGAF

[Zero²]

Baka! Its not like we wanted you to see the information or anything!

I wonder how the western Tsundere voice will be...

 

[foxuzamaki]

I like this very much.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Some (new?) concept art

OH the concept art, OH OH



OH

 

[rhandino]

Also we don't even know if the terrain will be altered at any point due to story reasons. That could happen. I imagine that the construction we see in Neo LA could be completed at some point. As different story events are completed I could see more and more of that area being finished. That leaves things open for other areas to be built up or just outright destroyed an revealing something else.

I would like to see if one can build or help build bases in the different areas... or if another ship crashes =P

Then there is the entire underground. What if we have that ala Final Fantasy 4/2(US)?

I don't want to get hurt so I would keep my expectations in check

Spoiler

I can't

I believe those faces would look better if the eyes weren't so glossy

Oh, in the livestream they explained that the eyes are implants or something along those lines

 

[Raide]

I wonder how the western Tsundere voice will be...

Hopefully we can have Japanese VO with English subs. Needs to be authentic Tsun.

 

[Ulthwe]

Oh, in the livestream they explained that the eyes are implants or something along those lines

Well I suspected there was something going on with all those weird eye patterns... now it makes sense.

 

[TriBlade]

So GAF.. correct me if I'm wrong but Am I going to be able to get my Doll and fly freely through this structure?

This could be too awesome to be real.. Am I missing something with this game?

Well, they said you can go anywhere you see so I assume you can.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

bikinis are back, a shameful boob slider, haunting music... what else do you want?

Oh I know. I'm just tossing out ideas here.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Has anyone tried translating the neo los angelos and the quest board videos?

 

[pablito]

I'm so doing a french braid/corn rows dude

 

[jorgejjvr]

It's there a high quality image of that new concept art? Want it as my phone wallpaper. The one with elma and the other characters

[Blunoise]

Man this is a nice early blowout indeed!

 

[Jiraiza]

Any idea if there's going to be full armor helmets? I'm a sucker for those in any game when armor appearances actually change. By no means is it because I want to hide my avatar's face!

that kabuki clown face would mean yes you can have head gear that hides your face

seriously dude first pic

I am just going to take a few hours if I have to to create a face I can live with for 300 hours

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I hate when we get updates about this game...

Because I know it probably won't hit the US till 2016.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Those environments look too good.

 

[AlucardGV]

bikinis are back, a shameful boob slider, haunting music... what else do you want?

i want the damn game now

 

[evanmisha]

Maeda Ai?!?!?! Omgggg

 

[K-A-Deman]

GAF has lost it if people are going to be whining about an optional, and honestly kind of standard bikini on an adult female character.

We've had a thread shut down in the past because of over-reacting to Toadette being 'kidnapped', not a lot is gonna surprise me anymore...

As long as the size range is reasonable and realistic, what/s the problem?

Haven't you gotten the memo? Character's aren't allowed to be sexy anymore.

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

Alternate reality where Benedict Arnold disguised himself as George Washington and surrendered to the British with the Decleration of Surrenderpendence...

Wow, Xenoblade get even more MMOy with character creation. But hooray for not being stuck with awful jrpg protagonists like Shulk. My hype levels are rising quickly.

Shulk was a pretty nice fresh breath after some of the protagonists that preceded him. The fact he actually learned from his trials and changed his mindset made him stand pretty even with the other characters (Although Melia and Dunban were still the best.)

Lyn would you come here for a minute? I have a piece of equipment that you will never ever take off for the rest of the game right here for ya.

But then how will she be able to work on the Dolls when you inevitably crash them?

I am going to be killing monsters in a rocking bikini.

As long as dudes get speedos to go along with it I'm good. Equal opportunity and all that.

I think that the actual protagonist, fully voiced, that will lead the narration could be her

I agree, looks like they're pushing Elma as the protagonist and possibly mascot.

What a blessed day, let me go trough all this info =D

All we needed were some tidbits on Dolls and it would be perfect.

Its like the artists modelled every character after some dolls and not real people with real physics.

Eh, with how the rest of the game's shaping up, I wouldn't be surprised if that's kinda a motiff.

INB4

Spoiler

Plot twist; everyone is a fake human

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

Dunban for Brother, Sharla for Military, and Riki for Shounen.

So GAF.. correct me if I'm wrong but Am I going to be able to get my Doll and fly freely through this structure?

This could be too awesome to be real.. Am I missing something with this game?

It wouldn't surprise me if we could, with how they've set up the rest of the game.

I believe those faces would look better if the eyes weren't so glossy:

Environments are [drool***] and those concept arts look phenomenal.

I'm still wondering what's up with the designs and brands in the eyes...

bikinis are back, a shameful boob slider, haunting music... what else do you want?

An immediate worldwide release after the Nintendo not-Direct at E3...

...Not all desires are worldly feasible.

Brackets refers to the names given to the voices by the site. Do not take them too literally.

I will be forced to create a male Cross if there is romantic relationships at all so I wish they would not tease it with the voice tags, as you said not to read too much into them but :/

 

[Kissenkopf]

No need for hate...you will get it 2015.

 

[ozfunghi]

Y'all want British voices for Neo LA residents? Ok.

Right, because everybody in NEW York, has british/Yorkshire accents.

On the other hand, maybe it's more suited for Spanish accents, considering they did opt for the American flag in the game?

 

[Dr. Buni]

"Boob slider" and bikinis. Ugh, I knew it was too good to be true. Still hyped for the game, but I wish developers would stop pandering to... some people. 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.

seriously dude first pic

I am just going to take a few hours if I have to to create a face I can live with for 300 hours

Except I'm talking about actual helmets, not masks or makeup. I'll hold my breath.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

are you saying the first pic is not a helmet? smh

 

[ozfunghi]

I hope we can use our Mii faces.

Spoiler

ahaha, kidding

 

[Jiraiza]

are you saying the first pic is not a helmet? smh

Well, if you want to be that way, then I meant helmets that cover your entire head and not just portions of your head. Though considering the scale of this game, there's probably hope for me.

Otherwise, I think I'll spend most of my time in the Dolls looking at the head because they look cool.

DAMN! Rihanna looking good!

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

God this game sounds like it's too good to be true.

 

[foxuzamaki]

"Boob slider" and bikinis. Ugh, I knew it was too good to be true. Still hyped for the game, but I wish developers would stop pandering to... some people. 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.

I wonder if these comments about the boob slider are serious, we are all aware that women have different breast sizes arent we? And they're implying that youcan change the buldge of guys aswell?

 

[radcliff]

So is the hairstyle tied to the face, or do I choose the face and hairstyle independently?

Luckily if the first Xenoblade is anything to go by, it goes both ways.

And there is nothing wrong with that.

I swear NoE, if you don't leave japanese VA in...(´◔౪&#9684✂╰⋃╯

I'm torn between that and Sultry. Goddamnit Monolith why can't we have both at the same time?! WHY?!

The superior choice.

#manservice

And I'm gonna co-sign the call for Japanese voices in the NA/EU release in a BIG way. Hope the disc size constraint issue won't hold it back

 

[shadow2810]

Time to start a petition to keep Japanese voice. I need that tsundere in my life.

 

[Raide]

The superior choice.

Agreed.

I wonder if they will have voice chat in this or if it will be some command wheel with voice commands linked to it?

I need at least 10 ways to Tsundere reply to people.

 

[Aeriscloud]

What are the chances NA gets this by November?

 

[Diffense]

Soooo hyped!

IMO, if you're concerned about the five continents you shouldn't be.

There are five main areas but they are each HUGE and obviously have tons of internal variety. Someone showed in another thread how the scale of the world is really deceiving. You can't see any details on the world map because the characters would be smaller than a pixel. Houses in NLA are dots on the Primordial Wilderness map but some are really mansions big enough for the characters to enter. I don't think some folks have wrapped their heads around this yet.

 

[SuperCambot]

I wonder if there is a penis slider too.

LIMIT BREAK!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

What are the chances NA gets this by November?

this is not a November game it has a good summer chance for NA unless they want to send it to die next to Zelda U

 

[Diffense]

I wonder if these comments about the boob slider are serious, we are all aware that women have different breast sizes arent we? And they're implying that youcan change the buldge of guys aswell?

Boobs and bulge are not even the same thing.The equivalent would be the ability to adjust the male chest as well.

Probably the real discussion for another thread is the crazy sexualization of female breasts by everyone. Women can't even breast-feed in peace.

Notice that the male characters in Xenoblade get far more naked than any of the female characters were without controversy.

 

[Weltall Zero]

It's a good thing I usually make female main characters anyway, because if the character creation video is anything to go by, it seems it will be the only way to make a character who isn't terminally constipated. I was also afraid we were only going to have goggly moe eyes for the females, but there's realistic ones as well, thankfully.
