Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Let me know when/if you can put decent clothes on Pyra

@CrazedCavalier
Fire Emblem is hardly known for its super-deep characters. They're all just standard tropes. Camilla doesn't seem particularly worse than any of the others.

So this game looks massive. I'm gonna get some of the main screens from that trailer.

I actually liked this trailer WAY more than the other ones (despite being overly long). I got a better sense of why I should be invested in anything, and it sounds like there's some really interesting stuff with the various groups and how they interact. Also, the focus was on more immediately cool characters, which helped.

December 1st, day after my birthday, nice.

But aww, that Pro Controller looks too sweet. T.T Why do I have to be punished for getting a Pro Controller a week after launch? T.T

The trailer helped rekindle my interest in the game. I'm more interested in the world as a whole, and the Driver/Blade concept really clicks with me.

And wow, that Pro Controller....I'm tempted to get one, and I don't even own a Switch yet! XD

$100 says that Gramps dinosaur thing will die

Dude, this game.... holy moly this freakin game...

Just locked in two copies of the special edition and stalking every site for the Pro Controller.

So look at that. Its coming out in 2017.

And yall said it wouldnt happen.

They said simultaneous release in 2017. There it is.

I thought that old man narrator sounded familiar:

Given how big it looks, they must've started work on it before Xenoblade X finished.

@Dezzy 2014 they said.

Even though I am looking forward to this game, as I loved XC1, I did feel bad for everyone who's not an RPG fan having to sit through that long trailer and every single detail that's not their cup of tea. ^^;

This trailer really showed the strengths of this game. A story, a world, and characters that allow for an exciting adventure.

For me it ticked all the right marks.

1. The scope and vastness of the land: the giant floating Titans in the ocean of clouds, and the premise that all is going to die if not for the Aegis blade.

2. Eight kingdoms with different races and politics and religions living in (and out of) symbiosis with their Titans, some of which want the Aegis for their own.

3. Helpful insight to the main characters (like Rex working as a diver beneath the clouds) and great shots of beautiful scenes! Finally a good trailer/presentation for this game!

But it wasn't perfect. They could have done without explaining battle (we already had enough of that at gamescom). They could have put up the battle explanations in a separate video.

This is kind of a stupid/weird observation, but Rex's armor on his legs looks legitimately bad. I don't know what monster came up with the design for that, but it looks ridiculous IMO. I don't think I'll be buying the game anyway, but if I did, I don't think I could ever take him seriously with those huge armor legs and the holes showing off his tiny shorts and chicken legs. I'm probably the only one on the planet who thinks that though, lol.

JRPGs aren't known for their plausible clothing and weaponry.

@Dezzy It doesn't need to be plausible, it just needs to not look ridiculous. I know it's a subjective thing, but still.

This game looks really rough tbh. Every time I see it, it just makes me want the game less.

How does it look rough? You mean like graphically or just stylistically?

I'm referring mostly to its animations, voice acting, and stuff of that nature. It looks very rough around the edges in that regard, at least to me.

Well the facial animations so far haven't been synced to the english audio. That's maybe partly it.
