New thread folks. Rev up them potatoes
anyone else order SE from amazon? Mine says it won't get here until the 8th. What the fuck? 4 days late?
Should I just order the regular edition?
>>318290105
This is a potato I can get into.
brown booty
>>318290190
Same for me. I'll see if i can get it early on prime now. If not im going to go to gamestop as soon as they open to buy it.
This is going to be goty times 10.
I'm looking forward to hunting with you guys
HELLO?
>>318290439
>Name is Jonathan
>Important character is name Jonathan
Hate when games does that.
Is there a /v/ squad?
>>318290190
Just checked my order and it says the 8th too. I really don't want to wait another weekend to play the game, especially when most of the time I can play it would be my off days.
Might just drop the SE altogether. Fuck NoA for being stupid as fuck with these things and limiting them to total 1000 or whatever bullshit number they come up with.
>>318290469IS THIS THING ON?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qPGXDk23mE
>>318291091
I'd just get the digital version if there's no guarantee of delivery on the 4th.
>>318290105
Can you emulate a WiiU already?
>>318291426
why do you keep posting this shit here?
>>318290629
Should've thought about that before picking a biblical name
>>318291705
Yes, have fun
>>318291705
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0sgYdqNeJU
Sort of.
>>318291705
Yeah, at 1fps with Mario kart 8, have fun!
Anybody else find Irina Guin & Doug's designs a bit... Boring? I don't find those characters very interesting,imo.
>>318292036
At least they kept the Wels-tan poster, but why change it to Verus?
>>318292120
Maybe because people would call them "Uels" otherwise
>>318290105
I want this version only for that God damn Custom USB.
I don't give a fuck abou the art book nor the Card.
I want the USB with the soundtrack.
>>318292120
Its actually a pretty accurate translation. That's more or less how it was pronounced because its based off of German, and they have a weird hard W sound that is a lot like the English V. The L and R switch up is because Japs.
>>318292120
Because in Xenogears it had a 'we' and in blade it has a 've' in Japanese. Japanese romanization choices have never been considered ironclad.
a cat is fine too
>>318292036
Holy fuck this is such bad editing
>>318292120
I don't get it. They changed it to Verus in the EU/NA ver. because that's how the Japanese pronounce Wels? The thing is that we pronounce Wels exactly how it is, so then why does it need to be changed? I'm not moaning muh censorship, I'm cool with the name Verus, I'm just confused as to why it was changed.
>>318292391
>The thing is that we pronounce Wels exactly how it is
No you don't
>>318292391
It's a biblical reference or something like that
>>318292391
Because Monolith changed the pronunciation. It's no longer like in pic related.

>>318292364
She better be playable in the sequel, one of my only gripes in this game.
someone explain probes i dont get it
what are the best?
>>318292813
Anal
>>318292391
I'm glad they changed it, because it literally means catfish in german and that was irritating as fuck
>>318292391
If you're pronouncing it "wells" then you're saying it wrong.
>>318292941But I like Welse...
>>318293021
So its pronounced Verus?
>>318292036
can you show the original for comparison?
>>318293090
It is now. The old way was literally 'werusu', which is still wrong if they wanted it to sound German.
>>318292391
>The thing is that we pronounce Wels exactly how it is
Do you anons speak your mind without knowing shit?
>>318292328
>changing a German name to American phonetics is translation
>>318290373
>>318290190
you can get the SE from gamestop and pick it up at the store on the 4th
probably sold out by now though
>>318293198
>the U covers more leg than the L
CENSORED!
>>318292364
Right species, wrong gender.
>>318293198
This doesn't have the holes in E and L.
So it's really just bad editing.
>Told by a friend to listen to the part in the 8-4 recent podcast about X
>They actually got the guy who translated Xenogears and Xenosaga on board to help
>>318293405
Do we know if it's taken from the same spot on the wall?
>>318292036
The black line running through the 'E' in Verus is obviously them beginning to censor it up. Fortunately, they must have gotten distracted by something & then forgor about it.
>>318293240
Eh, I couldn't think of the right word to use. Its based on the questionable romanization used in the Japanese anyways. Its a clusterfuck. They're just making it so English people actually know how to say it right.
>>318293532
Or you know, its just a bad edit.
>>318292310
Chop up the black plastic feet of a drying rack and super glue them to a usb stick of your choice. Congrats you've now got a Zohar stick that can also store more than 160mb or whatever pathetic amount the SE version has.
>>318293607
I was joking.
>>318293696
Oh, my mistake.
>>318293530
The wall details don't add up, so no.

>>318293758
infos wise, internet is a better source
i ordered mine for collection, love these kinda guides
>>318293758
Probably. Also wasn't there some discount code you could use?
>>318293758
>Is this going to be necessary?
In the age of the Internet, not really. I mean, it's more practical to have the book next to you while playing than having to go on your computer when you don't know where X item is or whatver, but I wouldn't call it necessary.
>>318293758
Not really, only one thing is missable and its Lao's affinity quest, so just do them before he becomes unplayable.
>>318293746
It might be more useful to see if the decal still has those issues at the same spot on the wall then.
>>318293789
That just says it's light type.
>>318293597
Please, say Americans, not English speaking people.
You'd have to be a retard or American to require a name like Guin to be localized as Gwin so Americans can understand how to pronounce it disregarding the fact that this game is voiced.
>>318293597
The name is in romanji in the japanese version.
>>318293501
You mean the guy that already complained at the time that the game had too many religious undertones and that he wasn't comfortable translating it because he feared christians would put his life in danger?
>>318293758
Depends. If you want all your information asap it could be a good idea depending on the quality. Try looking for the discount code in the old thread though to save some money.
>>318293789
That says "light type". I don't know how you got the reading you did out of that.
>>318293904
Yeah the discount code is HOLIDAY30
I also have Prime shipping so it brings down the price of the book to $17 for me. I figured that would be a pretty good deal considering that its a limited edition hardcover with 514 pages
Can you choose what 32 person squad to join for online aspects, or are you thrown into a random one each time you boot up the game?
>>318294194
Because you can't read katakana.
>>318293758
could be useful for the lols, is probably full of bad information and advice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU7OXv9Q2kU
Will this is interesting
>>318294169
Sort of, but he then realized it was more important that he kept everything in tact which he did for both games.
>>318293501
>>They actually got the guy who translated Xenogears and Xenosaga on board to help
Those games had horrible translations though
>>318294224
Plus it comes with a code for a free copy of the digital guide.
>>318294194
he said what it means when it read most of the characters as katakana
>>318294035
There's probably a formal source somewhere, but if you look for Japanese writing about the game, you can find how they're pronouncing it. They use a ヴェ instead of a ウェ now.
>>318294258
you can form squads based on NNIDs, so you better be ready for that /v/ sqaud
>>318293758
Does anyone know if the guide is going to be the same as the Japanese version of the guide?
>>318294385
I just hope some kind soul shares the most important infos as soon as possible.
>>318294426
You can't read katakana either
>>318294490
Once I get my digital copy I'll upload it here
>>318293405
They basically took the Wels-tan poster, removed the WELS and changed it to a VERUS without altering the alpha levels which is what those holes are.
>>318294318
While watching this video, I wondered why Americans can't even say Japanese names properly. Can they really not pronounce anything besides English?
>>318293930
you can access the internet over your smartphone, laptop and the wii u itself
you don't need to run to your pc for that
>>318294615
Thanks, I'll look out for it then.
>>318294718
It also looks like they fucked up the entire wall. I'm not sure if the top is supposed to look like this.
>>318294828
Well its always nice to have a physical reference to quickly look at while playing the game.
Kind of wished I had a book for Xenoblade Chronicles
>>318294804
Americans can't even pronounce English words properly. They speak American, not English.
>>318295052
physical will always be better, I agree on that
Which squad are you joining?
http://www.strawpoll.me/6135249
>>318294804
B-but it's fun to make fun of japs saying english words!
>>318295195
how do I join either of these?
>>318292036
Sucks about the text looking like that, but at least image is unchanged which is what is more important.
>>318295380
Japs saying english words is the best thing in the universe
I wouldn't enjoyjojohalf as much without all the crazy engrish

>>318297597
Well that kinda happens when the data packs are released when the game is fully released, so you have no room to complain.
>>318297161
Yeah, go do a bit of sidequesting until you're at least up to the monster's level.

Wels in the English version of Xenogears was a mistranslation (despite mostly everything else being spot-on, but can't blame a guy for trying to translate something like a xeno game without at least several religious texts to spell-check for him) it's pronounced Verus due to it being German plus Engrish to English confusion.
Why does Lin Lee's voice make me hard?

It is.
Data packs do not contain any new stuff.
Data packs are just cached files in the faster internal memory

>History seemed set to repeat with the Nintendo Wii's Xenoblade Chronicles. Midway through the project the team encountered a raft of difficulties and, realising they would miss the launch deadline, a deflated Takahashi met with Hitoshi Yamagami, the Nintendo producer who oversees RPG development, to suggest a list of deadline-aiding compromises. Yamagami rejected the plan and told the designer: "You've come this far. You should see it through to the end. I'll convince the others at the company."

>gameplanet
So what if they put up a free download at launch that puts everything that was censored back in? just give the download an ESRB of Mature and that would work, right?
>>318301023
The censored stuff still wouldn't put it past T
trying to avoid spoilers, but does anyone who's finished the game know if our protagonist would carry onto a sequel?
>>318299903
>Takahashi turned 50 earlier this month. It's a milestone that appears not to have dulled his irrepressible ambition. "My goals still lie ahead of me," he says, defiantly. "I feel like now that Xenoblade Chronicles X is done I'm finally standing on the start line." He has no plans to retire or even, as he put it to Iwata last year, to move away from the practicalities of game design. "Something I've felt recently is that a lot of people of our generation have taken on roles as producers, and that they've actually been too hasty to distance themselves from the actual game development process," he said at the time. "If you look at films or animation, people in their fifties or sixties remain very active. If we retire from actually making games, that spirit of craftsmanship won't be handed down to the next generation. That's why I think it's better that we maintain a hands-on role in the game development process."

>they built the entire class system for a single character
I appreciate that they put a lot of effort into the protagonist, but an actual character would be better, yes. Maybe they could reuse some of their fancy system by giving all characters limited customization in the sequel.
>>318302235Being an antagonist doesn't keep you from being a protagonist in Xeno games.

Takahashi and Saga having two kids (don't know how old they are) might also be a reason why Saga only does freelance work these days.
How much costumization do we have over our character after we get into the game? Can i switch heights and gender freely?

Everything except name can be changed.
Anyone know if Skells level up independently, or if they need to be upgraded to the level 50 versions?
The level 30 Lailah looks way better than the level 50 one, I'd prefer not to switch if possible.

Yes, you can unlock the option to change your own character later in the game.

These threads are making me so hype. This game is gonna be the best reward for finishing my exams

The most based japanese developer. I always wondered why people like Iwata or Shigeru took the route that they did.

You buy the two frames separately.
You can only buy the more powerful version after you clear the main storyline.
Regardless of your frame you're using, you can completely change its equipment (except for Ares), including its armor.
