Same shitty artist that did Soma Bringer.

Looks like Monado, which is not good. I was expecting something better after the scans I saw.

Well, I hope we get a trailer of The Last Story soon.

The character yelling as he goes into battle looks really goofy.

The game itself looks very interesting even if the graphics are a bit underwhelming.

Nope, I am fine in this thread.

On topic: Really crossing my fingers for this game, but I do not have much hope

We need combat footage. Stat.

Only problem I have with the graphics are the faces really, everything else looks relatively nice. Looking forward to seeing more.

Still not digging the look really, but I did love Xenosaga Episode 1 and 3, and even though this game doesn't continue those it does mean the dev has delievered for me in the past so I am hoping they do so again.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Meh? Dude, I think that video looks cool. What were you expecting? This is a Wii game we're talking about.
Maybe more appealing character design ?

I think it looked okay, but we didnt see any gameplay action so i wil wait for that.

That kind of thing varies from person to person, but on a technical level, I think it looks pretty good. People always tend to harp on character design, but someone's bliss is someone else's crap.

Because characters are always present as the front and center of the game, I believe people are judging the graphics solely on character design and detail. However, I think that's not fair to the game. The environments are well-done in both design and detail and should be appreciated. Therefore, I say this is a game with bad character but good graphics thinks to the awesome detail and designs of the environment.

Isn't this an "open world" game? I was under the impression that it was streamed without any loading (or very little loading). With that in mind, I think it looks great.

I just didnt get your argument, just because its an Wii Game He is supposed to like it when the Trailer didnt appeal to him ? And no one anything about the technical level, i wasnt impressed because we didnt see any gameplay.

Edit
You ppl. graphics arent the only important thing xD

Exactly.

Perhaps gameplay will change my mind.

One reason why I hate these type of trailers. If you are going to release footage, some game-play would be nice.

I'm saying the environments look good at worst.

I'm saying the characters look average at best.

Yeah, this would be an accurate assessment, though I'm going to without judgment for now if the scale is half as big as the trailer suggests.

I see mechas, people getting killed by mechas, and mechas killing people and other mechas on top of giant ancient god'ish mechas.

Best game ever.

Well, I was originally commenting on how the comment was simply "meh" and nothing really to put it into context. The usual complaint is about graphics and so I went with that.

Cep certainly doesn't champion Final Fantasy XIII, I think you're confused or just looking at a cheap pot shot out of blind rage.

That or you're talking about the Xeno series? That's pretty plausible as well!

What a confusing moment!

Goofing aside, I think the graphics look perfectly fine. It's well built, tons going on, way more than the almost static emptiness of the last Xeno series and I welcome not every project being some overbudget catastrophe. Let's just see the actual gameplay potential from the old article. Don't preach about seeing the light against cinematic driven scenarios and then release a new trailer with nothing but cutscenes.
 
The scope is the thing which impresses me the most. If they can actually deliver on what's being promised in terms of the size of these corpses that you're exploring, it would be fantastic.

I love the two-dead-ancient-fighting-god-corpses-are-the-world idea so much. It all depends on how they manage to put it into effect. That'll make or break the game for me.
 
Seems the 18 year old blonde male MC is out. That's a start.

Why are we even talking about Xenogears or Saga?

Aside. I like when people think outside the box. Safe, small budget projects tend to be forgettable.

pretty much my thoughts, the faces are what bothers me to be specific.

everything else looks great otherwise, except for the colors, too dark.
 
Facial expressions look Vagrant Story bad SMH.

I wish developers would take a look at Monster Hunter Tri & Mario Galaxy and atleast try to push for that. The famitsu scans look way better than this and this looks like when they first revealed the game, so ill hold out hope.

Trailer caught me off guard. Looks super interesting .

Looks interesting, I just wish it was for PS3 or 360, I can't force myself to play wii games anymore.
Isn't this bannable?
edit: 997 left. Use it wisely.

Why? because I said I don't feel like playing wii games anymore? I don't hate the Wii, I have it, and I used to play, but for me the novelty has worn off, and having a PS3 and a 360 I find the graphical gap hard to take, the only games that interests me on the Wii is Metroid M and the rumoured new Zelda game.
 
It has Xeno in the name. I'll be buying it no matter what.

As for the trailer, I thought it was decent for the Wii. Some things did seem off though

Some mods can get pretty zealous about this sort of thing, they view it as port begging.

I have seen a dude banned for a month for less.

Didn't you realize port begging was bannable the first 5482 times it was enforced?
 
OniShiro said:
Sorry, I didn't know, should I edit my post?
Mods can see edits and I'm an asshole... so I won't be changing the quote.

Banning doesn't hurt and it will go quickly if you man up... unless this is your last shot before being permed... in which case I will have a beer for you.
