This can be considered unpopular; Xenoblade humour, for the most part, feels forced and artificial. Especially in 2, because of the maid jokes. And while I agree with @Ralizah once again, that it develops Tora and establishes him as some kind of perverted genius engineer, the humour feels forced in almost every scene.
For me the whole moogle has a sexbot thing, and some of the character design choices. Seem weirdly out of place. I'm not a prude, I love the Yakuza and Bayonetta games. It just feels like the tone shifts every so often to an odd place.
I think the Japanese RPG genre as a whole has an issue with relationships. There's very rarely a leading character in a JRPG, that feels like they've ever been on a date before.
They seem to prefer to write prolonged awkwardness, instead of two characters actually getting together.
The Mario 3D All Stars collection should've been cheaper, considering what it is.
Originally this would've been a suggestion that it costs too much for how much work was in it. But after a couple of months, its very obvious it should've cost less so that Nintendo could not try to pointlessly sink its own reputation as a relatively not evil video game company. Because Nintendo's often very good at releasing games that are actually worth full price, and they've had great PR even during a lot of the Wii U era for that. So maybe they just shouldn't have tried to risk that.
@Slowdive You might think that Nintendo should remake three of their old games and sell them as a single package, but when they can realistically do that with just one of them, sell it at full price individually, and still get rave reviews, it's not going to happen. We'd instead have got three individual games released at the rate of one every couple of years if they'd taken their usual approach.
As it stands, I rather like the less is more approach with Sunshine and Galaxy. They look good, play very much the same (especially now that the controls are fixed on Sunshine) and their respective merits are more or less the same as when first released.
Mario 64 should have been a freebie for NSO though, and they should have put Galaxy 2 in there instead. That's my hot take.
@Guest88
Depend on the drawing atyle.
There are some character design looks appealing, other just meh for me.
And you cannot call anime style drawing as trash because i like some anime style drawing.
Depend on who is the artist.
I don't like the Western looking style instead, most of Western style are too over saturated like Marvel drawing style.
@Guest88 'Anime graphics' is such a meaningless term. Anime is just the Japanese word for animation, so unless you've got a video game that's entirely made up of still images or live action footage, it's anime.
I'd think that what people really mean when they call Xenoblade 2 'anime style' and such is that it's tending towards the trashy end of the genre. You know, the kind of shows where you've got some dorky teenage guy at the centre of a cloud of scantily clad and implausibly proportioned girls, usually
alien/demon ones. To my mind that's what it's problem is.
If they were instead going for the look of, for example, a Hayao Miyazaki movie there'd be a lot less complaints. It'd be no less anime though.
Although I didn't play XC2 I did play the first in the definitive edition and I didn't for 1 second focus on the fact that it was "anime." Didnt even cross my mind. The gameplay was spectacular as was the story and that's really all I care about.
@Zuljaras@Guest88 I'm just recently been getting into anime and the problem isn't the art style, It's the stereotypical themes that are always forced into these type of things. A hero who always is weak and has to have hope and friendship to prevail. Girls who always flock around the main guy and fall all over him. The idea that the hero always wins and gets the girl. The cutesy attitude they all have. I'm not saying I hate it but the best anime style things always break those norms. Something seems much more powerful if it completely takes your expectations and shatters them. I love DDLC, Danganronpa, Ace Attorney. Each has an anime style, but is trully unlike anything else I've ever played.
@NintendoByNature For what it's worth, the most fervent complainants about the look of XC2 tend to be fans of the first game.
Having played both, I'd think the differences are mostly... ahem... skin deep and that otherwise the series has evolved nicely. The original is still my favourite in terms of the story, but the newer games - including XCX and Torna - have much better underlying game mechanics.
From the more modern ones I prefer Pokemon, Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh (if you call that anime ofc.)
I'm not sure what baffles me more, the idea that these are still modern (since he's presumably talking about the original series), that the latest anime you enjoyed are the kid friendly ones compared to the even older ones, or that anyone would not call them anime.
