Midnight Black Friday thread
less than a week, can't handle it
I know the feel OP, I'm superCENSOREDtoo.
I don't care about all thisCENSOREDCENSOREDcrap, I just want it day one.
>>318009591
So...like the other thread was going on about. Is it reallya new retelling of Project Noah, that is Takahashis attempt to seemingly make the Japanese equivalent of Dune?
Anyone know the character limit for names and if you can add spaces?
>>318009591
Reminder that anyone who doesn't use Lailah is aprobably as reasonable person as someone who did, because all the skells actually have their own unique appeals.
>>318010823
I'm gonna use a Lailah model 'cause it's what I named my character in Dragon Quest 9

Probably extremely alright.
Kinda hard to say when it comes to Wii U since it has a small userbase.
everyone got the collectors edition right?
>>318012819
I considered it, but it sold out in the small amount of time I took to think about it. Same with FE:Fates.
Ah well, doesn't hurt to have extra money in my pocket, I s'pose.Really wanted that thick ass artbook though. ;~;

HELLO?
>>318012819
Yep. I dunno how I'm paying it off, but I got mine pre-ordered out of the 200 my store has.
>>318012819
My local Gamestop still has some available.
But I realized I can find the soundtrack online, as well as the artbook eventually. I'd rather have the extra 20 bucks in my pocket.
>>318013139
I wonder when people say it took them X amount of hours to 100% the game, I wonder if they just meant maps and sidequests or if they meant the achievements too.
Because I assure you, at least 100 of those achievements will be absolute bullshit to get.

I know I'm not the only one here doing this.
>>318012819
Of course
The gigantic world in this game has me interested, but I have one question.
Is there online multiplayer? If so, how does it work? I want to go on adventures with my friends and shit
I swear, if this game sells less than Yoshi's Woolly Wank then I'll have lost faith in the Nintendo fanbase. Seriously.
>>318013439
There are 3 types of online multiplayer
Squad Missions involve you killing monsters in your own game to contribute to the mission progress. If your squad clears the mission, you get loot.
Squad Quests are unlocked after doing enough missions. Those play like Monster Hunter multiplayer.
World Events are like Squad Quests but everyone in your squad is doing it. One example is a boss that has a shared HP bar and has to be killed 6 times to clear the event.
>>318013394
>all of my finals will be done by then except for a couple online classes which are a complete joke
>>318013450
Woolly world is food though
>>318013439
You can tackle specific co-op missions with friends, but unfortunately, you can't all explore the open world together.
>>318013765
Food?
>>318013796
Wooly World is the sustenance that supports all human life.
Goddamn, look at the size of that strategy guide.
>>318013920
It's shit. It's not really a game thats anything special. It's not a game you remember like a good book or movie. It's just fucking Yoshi as a 2D platformer. It's made for fucking kids. It plays like any other 2D platformer on Wii U that came before it.
>>318013603
>>318013774
So far it sounds pretty fun. Does the Multiplayer take up the majority of the game like Monster Hunter, or is it mainly a single player experience?
>>318014135
I've never played it actually, I'm pretty sure he just meant it's "good."
All I know is that it's cute. Never personally cared much for platformers.
>>318014195
It's mostly single player, but multiplayer is still worth doing because it gets you reward tickets that can be used to buy gear and crafting materials.
>>318014195
Mainly single player with a loosely connected online.
>>318014195
I'd say it's pretty much entirely single player focused, multiplayer stuff seems entirely optional.
I've nearly lost all interest in this game. Not really sure why.
I loved XC and was so hyped when this game was first announced.
I honestly didn't know that we were this close to release.
I remember back around the Japanese release people were saying it was disappointing compared to XC.
>>318013346AM I ALL ALONE?
>>318014380
For fucksake. I bet even after the good western reviews, this "Japanese hate the game" bullshit is still going to be parroted.
>>318014273
>>318014303
>>318014353
Well, as long as multiplayer is an expansive experience, I'm sold. Singleplayer seems great enough as is.
Thanks anons.
>>318012973
gamestop is literally still selling them.
>>318014380
My hype is still alive and kicking. Don't let the Japanese reviews get you down, the reasons they stated were all kinda unreasonable, and were mainly taken from Amazon, which has a history of bad reviews in Japan.
It seems like most people with review copies have had an overwhelming positive experience, praising the visuals, combat improvements, music, and characters.
If you liked the first one and you have a Wii U, I'd say you should totally pick it up. But, if you're not hyped, you're not hyped, dunno what to tell ya.
>>318014529

6/10, too much whitewashing.
>>318014380
>I remember back around the Japanese release people were saying it was disappointing compared to XC.
Literally everything about the game seems better than XC to me except the music and I guess the creativity of the setting
>>318014627
Shhhhhh... Don't tell me that, I've already committed to the Standard Edition.
>>318012819
The EU one.
I was kinda disappointed about not getting the USB, but the final product doesn't look that good.
From someone who's never played this series, would you recommend it? What exactly should I expect?
>>318013413
You got me. I've been looking at this one in particular. Will I need that silly Y cable to go with this too?

>>318014870
The story Is not related to xenoblade wii, you can start with either of them
ELMA FIGURINE WITH LIFE LIKE PANTS TEXTURES FUCKING WHEN? KOS-MOS GOT A SHITTON OF FIGURES WHERE'S ELMA'S?
>>318014974
Okay cool, but is itfun
>>318014870
Yeah, it's pretty good. Wouldn't really call it a "series" though.
This one is an open-world RPG where you mostly explore and hunt monsters, either on foot or in a mech.
>>318014986
>elma
>not nagi in a fundoshi
>not tatsu
pls
>>318014135
Woolly World is awesome, man. It's creative as fuck. It expands upon concepts and ideas used in Yoshis Island masterfully and the attention to detail in everything is insane
![xenoblade-chronicles-x-02-08-15-8[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/3EvbH0u.jpg "xenoblade-chronicles-x-02-08-15-8[1].jpg")
I just found out that this game is only 720p and 30 fps.
720 fucking p
>>318014870
If you like offline mmo's with huge maps of nothing to do the this is the game for you.
>>318015106
Tatsu doesn't need a figurine, he needs a pillow-sized plus.
And so does Riki for that matter.
>>318015067
Definitely, at least I loved the first one, best rpg of the gen
>>318015119
Did you play the first?
>>318015106
I want a fucking potato figurine
>>318015067
Well, it's an rpg, so don't expect any kind of reaction or precision based combat or anything. It's real time and you can move around, but it's more akin to a regular rpg, it's a numbers game.
If you like shit with constant progression and want to kill time, it's a great game for you. Plus, "open-world mecha" is like a pipe dream of a genre, at least for me. If that doesn't hook you, then I dunno mang.
>>318015315
No, he's just here to shit up the thread.
>>318015106
Neither of those are Elma.
>>318014870
The game's entirely unrelated to the first Xenoblade beyond some Easter eggs and similar battle mechanics.
You should expect MMO-style combat and class system with a shit ton of customization options and lots of exploration.

>>318015302
Awesome, I'll definitely be picking this up then (bought the wii u bundle today)
Hopefully it won't fuck me for finals
>>318014380
Weren't the complaints from Japan that it didn't focus on the story as heavily as Xenoblade did, and the real meat is the side content? It makes sense, since X sets up for a sequel.
>>318015473
Is there a sixth world the game tries to keep secret?
>>318015473

Thanks guys, always refreshing to see /v/ excited for a game
>>318015620
That's just NLA I think.
>>318015752
Awww... Now I'm disappointed
>>318015656
Something like Fina Fantasy XII or White Knight Chronicles but way better if you played one of those
>>318012224
low enough that there will be shitposting threads about it but not low enough that it'll be the last game
>>318015473
>>318015656
I'd say "MMO-style combat" is selling it a bit short.
It's got lock-on, aggro, and a skill bar, but there's a bit more depth than, say, WoW. Probably because it's not massively multiplayer.
>>318015656
Usually auto-attacking and activating abilities. Meaning your not really suppose to pay attention to the way moves look and perform but they numbers they dish out and the stat effects they do.
>>318014986
>tfw hardly any Xenoblade merch
I'd even settle for potato nendos and wel-tans.
>>318012819
Yes, even though I'm super disappointed there's no steelbook
>>318015620
Nope, but there's a shit ton of floating islands, hidden caves and stuff that only becomes available to you once you get the flight module in the late-game
>>318015656
I mean that you cast attacks out and then they recharge on a cooldown. It's very much a RPG with slight action elements, and not the other way around.
This video goes more in detail about the subtleties of the battle mechanics, but you're not expected to grasp ALL that from the get go, don't worry, you really get used to it after a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3l9Vp62KX4
>>318015805
Holy shit I'm surprised someone has heard or even played White Knight Chronicles besides me. Shame about geonet.
>>318015939
Do we even know what the EU steelbook looks like yet?
>>318010409yeah
>>318012819
Nah, those art books are rarely worth it to me, and same with the flashdrive.
>>318015473
will the MMO style combat be used for online? The biggest thing I am looking for is a new game to replace MH3U. I've just played the shit out of that game and kinda want to play the shit out of a new game. Right now this game is the prime contender for my friends who I play MH3U with though.
>>318015656
Auto-attacks and skills operate on cooldowns instead of ATB-bars filling up or it being turn based.
>>318015865
I'd say it's a four-year-old shitpost.
>>318015805
>>318015865
>>318015880
>>318015965
Ah, that actually sounds rather nice. Thanks!
>>318015967
Weird, I thought that game was fairly popular.
>>318015967
The game was alright I guess. The way the player character was included in the story was really retarded
>>318016028
Yep, online has the exact same combat mechanics as single player, except it's you and up to three other players against instanced battles instead of you leading a team of AIs.
>>318015656
It's kinda hard to describe. Have you seen any combat in the game? It's the best way to understand it.
I agree with >>318015805, it's similar, but more dynamic and fast paced.
>>318015967
>>318016110
Wasn't there a sequel too? I forget what it was called.
I love Xeno threads. Literally the friendliest on /v/.
>>318016212
You're not going to believe this but it was calledWhite Knight Chronicles II
woah......
>>318015906
>Potato nendos
>>318016140
so do you get gear and stuff? I guess what I am asking is how similar is it to MonHun? The biggest thing for me is how gear collecting works and stuff in the game.also is there any PvP. in MMO games I typically kinda enjoy the pvp function to assert my dominance on the weaker of my friends.
>>318016212
White Knight Chronicles 2? It was the one I got because it included an updated version of the first game for free which was really cool.
>>318016110
Yeah it really was. You were literally there just to be there.
>>318016212
White Knight Chronicles 2 (part 2 basically, continues everything even your stats and equipment) AND a prequel called White Knight Chronicles Origins that takes place a few hundred years back.I think
There WAS suppose to be a third game but it didn't have enough money/fanbase I guess.
Who /Galaxy Knight/ here?
>>318016460
Right here, Brother.
>>318016460
I can't decide between Galaxy Knight and Astral Crusader.

This is basically what Phantasy Star Online 2 should have been. I really hope it doesn't disappoint me.
>>318016540
Are you me?
I think I'll end up as a hybrid, with sniper rifles and beam sabers.
>>318016540
Galaxy Knight has status effect stuff and a bit of healing while Astral Crusader is more on the dps side. You could always master both and rock a photon saber and sniper or something like that.
>>318016460
The drones look neat, but they aren't even close to asserting Kshatyria-level dominance.Which is fair enough.
I'm either going with the Samurai Gunner or Commando line. Or the one with the beam sabers. Dunno, there's a lot of cool classes to choose from.
>>318016290
lol
>>318016327
>>318016393
Would you say it's worth it to pick up a used ps3 for? I never got to finish my old game.
>>318016616
Is that even possible? I thought you had just one weapon which changes between melee and range mode
>>318016703
When you max out a class' level, you can use its weapons and arts with other classes.
>>318016683
Galactic Knight IS the one with the beam sabers.
I'd be curious to see a poll done on /v/. OnGamefaqsthey had a poll asking which class they'd main, and the dual knife class won out surprisingly
>>318016689
I don't think it's worth it for WKC alone. But if you want to play other games like Demons Souls too I guess you could do it
>>318016689
I wouldn't personally say so. One of the main draws of it for me was that you could get your own Knight thing that you could customize and shit, but then I learned you had to go through a lot of online bullcrap, which means you're locked out of it forever now.Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't play much of II.
>>318016689
Uuuh it's not worth buying a ps3 for unless you have other games in mind. It's alright. The 2nd one fixes the combat issues and is both 1 and 2. There's no online anymore so you can't get the best items and the story is alright but.....tedious. I also hope you like your character not being relative at all. They're just there for some reason and always stand still in cutscenes.
>>318016838
Oh, so it's drones, and a beam saber?

>>318016326
I've actually never played a MonHun game, but you do get rare drops from completing online missions.
Here's my understanding of how the online works:
>You join a squad of 32 different players
>Those player's MCs will appear all over your map as recruitable temporary AI companions, recruiting another player's character will send the player some of the experience points you collect
>You can send chat messages to your squad about item or monster locations, if your message gets enough "likes" from your squad, it also gets posted world-wide
>You can send any loot you don't want into a "squad raffle". All the loot raffled will get distributed randomly among the participating squad members
>You also get a series of timed "Squad Missions", usually "kill X of that enemy" type missions. Everyone in your squad has the same mission, and you all work together individually in your own game to clear them. If you helped clear a squad mission, you're rewarded with online tokens
>Those tokens can be exchanged at BLADE HQ for a go at an actual online mission
>Online missions are instanced, usually either "defeat these waves of enemies" or "defeat this one super-boss", you can enter them with up to 3 other players, or you can substitute other players for Lin and Elma as AI.
>All online missions reward you with items or gear drops, harder online missions have some pretty good loot

Drifter has some value if you're already done with your other classes.
>>318017094
Literally laughed my ass off. I would have the greatest time if I saw someone complain about no classes and they beat the full game as Drifter.
>>318017130
Full Metal Jaguar is second place for classes I want to master, but as far as I'm concerned, it gets numbah 1 in terms of naming.
I can't get over how retardedly cool it is.

So many people that will never find out that Elma has no affinity for ice cream. That Lin won an underground doll wrestling match to be able to obtain decent meat, why they decided to name the planet Mira etc.

Drifter has extra skill slots.
>There are people who don't want to make a Libra Legis
>>318017015
Wow, Galactic Knight is blowing everything the fuck out.
I guess everyone hopped on the bandwagon after that footage came out.
Or maybe it's because there are so many Gundamfags on 4chan.

I cant cancel my preorder. Not when I've been waiting so long.
I'm a bit surprised, and disappointed that there's no huge piece of the White Whale sticking out of the ocean somewhere for you to explore Eldridge style.
>>318017259
>>318017209
Huh, that's actually good to know. Any downsides to using drifter if you've mastered all the other classes?
>>318016540
This is exactly me. I'm probably just stuck deciding based on the name alone because they both sound like '80s metal bands.
>not playing a Mastermind
I'm not sure you understand what 'Raygun' means in this game.
>>318017501
Thanks for a pic. I literally did not what know what a Ray Gun was in this. Looks bad ass. Is it cannon-like based with it's shots?
Jesus, all this talk of classes almost made me forget about Skells.
This game's gonna be big.

It's more like a sustained beam.

>>318017501
Doug-senpai looks like a bro. Hope he is.
>>318012224
In America, I think it will sell more than XBC, since it's not going to be Gamestop exclusive. Although, I don't really know if that opens it up to a lot more people compared to the last game.
So I'm guessing there isn't an BF sales going on for this?
I'll probably end up as Duelist or Galactic knight in the end so I can fuck shit up with blossom dance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAKoKLOR-tU
>>318018021
Unlikely, since it doesn't come out until December.
>>318018021
The game only comes out on December 4th, why would there be a sale on something you can't even buy?
>>318017771

NOA should just give up making trailers and commercials for XenoX and just use NOE's stuff but just put the ESRB rating instead of PEGI.
NOA is fucking shit at marketing this game, jesus christ.
>>318016393
>>318016110
I preferred that. The player character was just there for online stuff while there was an actual MC for the narrative.
I actually wish they did the same thing with XCX instead of scrapping the MC for a player character.
>>318018180
It's a shame this version of blossom dance is less impressive-looking given how op it is.

I think he means the pages. There's a lot of pages there.
>>318017771
You mean I can use both the lance AND the sniper rifle?
>>318018723
I thought lance and sniper rifle were together by default.
I really don't want to derail this thread, but it's just sad when you compare this game and the previous xenoblade from a localization standpoint.
Xenoblade had complete dual audio on a fucking wii disk, name changes that actually made sense, like naming Bionis and Mechonis from kyoshin and kishin, and no clothing changes.although to be fair, with how much vitrol XCX is getting on the internet, it's really hard to find localization changes for the original xenoblade and I would appreciate more info on that
Hell, the original xenogears was a literal labor of love from one man, despite all the shit that he screwed up back then. Nowadays Treehouse bullshits some excuses to change shit that doesn't need to be changed, charges NoJ exhorbant amounts of money, and release the game 8 months after Japan.
>>318018723
That's the default loadout anon
>>318018863
>>318018806
Perfect. I don't need any other class.
>>318018334
Technically Elma is sort of the MC in the game, the game actually tries to give your player character some relevance in the story and even more within the sidequests, though.
Is it possible thatthe inhabitants of Mira built the space station at the end of Xenoblade?They never stated that the planet it was orbiting was Earth.
>>318018857
>release the game 8 months after Japan
The original Xenoblade came out a complete year in the west after Japan. There's a lot to translate, including voices (there is much, much more voiced dialogue to be translated this time around).
There was enough space on the disk last time to have dual audio, but this time we don't. The game practically fills the Wii U disk.

Yeah, but originally they said XCX had an actual main character but it got scrapped because they wanted to incorporate online elements into the game.
I'm 100% okay with a custom character but I feel like a dedicated MC makes it easier to get into the game more. I know part of the reason I got into Xenoblade so much was because of Shulk and the Monado.
>>318019271
I don't get why they didn't just let you make a separate custom character for the online portion while still having an actual MC for the singleplayer portion.
>the main spaceship has UNITED STATES on it real big, complete with the American flag
I almost wish they would have changed it depending on the localisation. I'd rather prefer to see my country's flag and name than the Americans'.
>>318019271
I actually think the other way around, a mute and customizable MC is far better. A voiced MC can be a mixed bag, and either good, decent or a completely insufferable little shit that makes me want to drop the game, like Shion.
I also like roleplaying and think voiced MCs in RPGs are generally just cancer, though.
>>318018857
Yeah, it sucks a good bit, but at the end of the day a lot of it will go forgotten as long as the core plot and characters are the same. While some changes were made (like BLADE's acronym and skells) we can't really tell if the plot as a whole was censored from religious stuff until the game's out, since a lot of reviewers are either tight lipped about the story or aren't familiar with the Japanese version.
The changes are certainly a bummer, but I think Takahashi will be satisfied as long as the story's the same. I doubt the breast slider and Lin's costumes were part of his grand vision, although I'd certainly prefer the game uncensored.
>>318019380
Yeah, that was kinda the start of the conversation. That's what WKC did.
>>318019414
>Implying anyone but America could fight off alien scum enough to escape
>>318019414
>Elma, why does New Moscow look like LA?
>>318019538
So would the Mexicans get "New Mexico?"
>>318019414
This is a game about Americans dude.
>>318019271
They fucked up with the playable character by not doing something cRPGs already do: a backstory to choose from that influences the story.
This might mean more writing even if reduced to choosing between male protag and a female protag, but it would give the MC some substantial plot relevance while not being the hero i.e. DragonQuest V protag, instead of pulling a Vaan with this silent MC.

You niggers better get used to this song. You know all those cool webms of the skells flying around?
This song is playing in the background of every single one of them.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE
IT'S ALRIGHT
>>318019271
I agree with this anon >>318019438, especially for a game as vast as this. Creating a character and truly becoming that character helps with the immersion, and I know that's what Takahashi loves to focus on.
>>318018806
They are; Partisan Eagle(?) and Astral Crusader default loadout.
>>318017501
Ooh my. This changes things significantly for me, though I still haven't seen much gameplay for the Bastion Warrior.
Anyone have some Astral Crusader or Lance/Javelin webms or links? I really would like what they look like.
>>318019438
I guess it's just a matter of preference. Custom characters likely do let you get a little more immersed into a game.
>>318019615
>>318019610
I sure hope so. And the bongs can get New York.
>>318019414
Japan doesn't care about Europe, except Paris.
Japan loves America.
>>318019650
I'm probably not going to fly that much then. I wish there was an option to disable the music switch.
>>318019414
>I'd rather prefer to see my country's flag and name than the Americans'.
Unless you're Saud or Russian I don't think you're going to see your country's flag on this because drill baby drill.
Pic related, a sample of the oil drilling simulation.
>>318019650
I really like the song, I just lacks the adventuring spirit of the regular map themes.
Kinda the same situation for the overdrive theme, I don't think it's a bad song, I just wish it was more intense or triumphant sounding.
>>318019438
Have you played Okage the Shadow King yet? It's an example of a JRPG where you have choices and consequences, even if it's light consequences. Same with Steambot Chronicles.
>>318019615
Elma's butt relaxes when she claps. A true American.
>>318019690
I just think of it this way, a mute MC offers possibilities and personalities as vast as the player's imagination is. It also makes the adventure feel more personal, like >>318019661 mentioned, and X is a game primarily about exploration.
You don't get any of that with a defined, voiced MC.
>>318019936
I get that, but the way the screen and music pause when you make a choice kinda takes me out of it a bit.
>>318019926
>>318019650
I like the song but it's not the type of thing I'd expect to hear as background music
I'm surprised the wiki hasn't been updated much for this in terms of weapons and armor. It's been out for how many months, I thought for sure someone would've snagged the import copy.
>>318020046
>>318019829
>>318019775
The song's a piece of fucking shit. I'm just saying get used to it so you don't get upset when you're in the climax of Sylvalum's night theme only to take off into the air and get "OVER THE RAINBOOOOOOOOOOOW"..
>>318019671
The end of this webm shows an art throwing the javelin.
>>318020143
I just said I like the song, why would I get upset
>>318020143
Well, you'll get the lengthy first part of the song, then OVER THE RAINBOW.
>>318020143
>Sylvalum's night theme
My nigger, just like me.
That's literally the only reason I don't wanna fly, at least not in Sylvalum.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDbh3lLi1ZY
It's so fucking good.
>>318018350
Nope, there's no magic summons now, all replaced with technology like energy shield, lasers and shit
>>318020095
Requires autists to make a wiki.
Also it would devolve into flaming over the censorship.
>>318019926
>>318020336
True, but I'm mainly throwing a line to see if anyone has any pictures or anything about some of the weapons in the game. One of my favorite things when I was a kid was to read the PSO strategy guide and look at all the rare as fuck weapons you could get.
>>318020231
Yep. I'll never fly in Sylvalum. The night theme is the best song in the game hands down.
>>318020143
So, anyways. Let's move on.
>>318020231
Love it, it's got that "space pioneer" feel too it.
>>318020495
I'd even go as far as to say it even tops Satorl Marsh's night theme.
>>318020494
The undertaking is going to be ridiculous. Here's a list of company longswords.

>>318009591
Are there any good black friday deals for pre-ordering this?
>>318020762
Not in America.
Will the official guide leak during the release? Probably could be useful for some small missables and to choose the right decisions.
>>318020812
Do they have black friday in other countries?
I know this game is FUCKHUEG, but is there a newgame+ mode?
>>318020964
No, the game continues after the story end.
>>318015906
I'd give my first born son for a Metal Face figure.
>>318021140
But anon, you don't have a son.Not after killing him, since you didn't want to nuke Boston.
>>318021140
LIKE A HOT KNIFE THROUGH BUTTA!
God what a great villain.
>>318020913
Most likely no.I just said not in America cause that the only one that I know of.
>>318019463
The mech names are actually unchanged, and still have their religious names in the english version. It was in a live Q&A by GameExplain in part 3 where they're going through the military alley.

>>318017214
Drifter is the best class (most art slots), but you should max two trees first.
>>318021947
Pre-emptive reminder that it's Verus instead of Wels because it's pronounced differently in Japanese.
>>318021947
Yeah, I figure for the most part, stuff is unchanged. They probably changed BLADE's acronym because it wasn't straightforward enough, rather than for censorship purposes.
Whether that's a reasonable change or not is highly debatable, but for the most part, I think we're getting the same game as Japan.
>>318022080
You call Charizard "Lizardon", don't you
>>318018336
it's only op if you spend 50 hours farming gems for it

Actually enjoying it so far. Been a while since I've seen much older anime
>>318018964
too bad she has terrible voice acting
>>318014117
SOOOOOOOOOO tempted to get it
not for the infos per se, i just love these huge books, i bought witcher 3 and pillars ones and they're wonderfull, even if i hardly read them ;_;
>>318022307
Not terrible. Not good either. It's serviceable.
>>318019154
it doesn't have that much voiced content, and the end result is pretty low quality.
Stop giving excuses to justify NoA's incompetence.
>>318017249
NoA really should have just put the short stories on the web site. I mean it's not like Destiny where their whole story is on a fucking wiki. These are just small things to get a better understanding of the characters before actually meeting them. Fucking hell why is NoA so fucking bad at everything?
>>318022350
It's pretty much the same for me, but I preordered a copy of it. I just like collecting shit like this
>>318022197
sometimes
but that's a a whole different thing, seeing how in Pokémon it doesn't say LIZARDON in English all over the menus
>>318022415
it literally ruins the game
>>318022428
>it doesn't have that much voiced content
You're retarded.
Go read the Iwata Asks.
>the dub shitposter is here again
>>318022614
Don't engage.
>>318017249
That'd require NOA caring in the first place
>>318019154
>The original Xenoblade came out a complete year in the west after Japan
not the same thing, they didn't even want to do the game in the first place unlike with XCX where it was planned from the start, so they started much later with the first one
>>318022183
Most of the time I'm not opposed to name changes for the purposes of localization. Terra was a good substitution for Tina in FF6 since it still sounded similar and kept the exotic sound of it, seeing as Tina only sounds exotic to Japan.
I was upset about the name changes at first because Xeno games have always had at least a slight religious motif, and with Doll to Skell because of the word doll's significance to the story. And seeing as most of the mech names are intact and Skell might actually have a workable definition for the story, even if it's a little obscure. I'm honestly a lot less butt-blasted now than I was a week ago.Still bothered by the bust slider, because what fucking purpose is there in removing it?
>>318019746
>except Paris.
And germany.
threadly reminder not to give into NoA's bullshit by buying this game
Soon flight videos
do not reply to him
>>318017049
I saw them in Tokyo, in Akihibara on the shelves.
They're pretty damn big. The pages are at around A4 in size, so do the math.
>>318020594
Sounds more like a jungle theme to me.
