>this is the main character
Mitsuda hasn't made good music in years
>main character is a little boy
>this dictates that the story revolves around him coming of age
holy fuck nobody gives a shit about some faggot little kid dealing with the harshness of reality
REEEE. Everything about this game looks great except the characters and art style. Especially comparing Shulk to this midget
I'm tired of these coming of age stories. We have too many of them and I'm frankly too old for them.
let me guess
>villains with planet destroying powers
>will be thwarted by a little boy who still cries when he loses a friend
and into the trash it goes
DELET THIS RIGHT NOW
>main character is a little boy
How do you know this? He looks 16-17 at least
>Coming of age story
Again, how do you know this?
>16-17
>at least
>AT LEAST
no he doesn't, he looks like hes 13
might want to get your autism checked, the inability to discern social cues and basic information such as the age range of a person is a sure sign
I like the designs more than Xenoblade's
What are these social cues? Explain? I'm interested to know.
>complaining about a JRPG being too anime
>ignoring how animeish the last two xenoblades were as well
Was the original a coming of age story too?
no, because shulk was a teenager, that was about the heros journey.
its like you never payed attention in english class
Another way of saying you enjoy moe trash.
So what is a coming of age story?
Xenoblade's art is otome-ge lol
And you just said a whole lot of nothing yourself there buddy
So which of the Xeno games were about a coming of age story?
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Ah, that's what the XB2 character designs remind me of - Soma Bringer. I totally forgot about that game. Thanks, user.
Is it good?
Yes. It's great.
the art style is fucking shit and the writing in the trailer does nothing to inspire confidence
how the fuck have you not read that
I'm excited. Hopefully XBC2 can be a step above X like X was to XBC.
This Tbh
I hope underwater exploration is a thing if the helmet is anything to go off of, shot would be cash. We already know they'll be going underwater to explore a shit
I hope not, underwater levels always suck ass.
That wouldn't really mix well with the platforming of the Xenoblade series. 3D underwater platforming sucks.
Shulk was 18.
The first Xenoblade had its own unique artstyle. I wish they brought it back for this sequel.
>Xenoblade
>platforming
lol
I'd rather have more Shimomura and no Mitsuda than the other way around.
I don't mind anime.
I do think XB2s art is utterly generic though. Despite how bad the face models were in X the actual art was very distinct and fit the tone of the game well, and the first one has a fantastic style. XB2 looks like any run of the mill LN adaption or Tales game.
>What is the entirety of Valak Mountain
>What is the entirety of X
Shinomura made the worst tracks on xc1 so fuck off
She did Colony 9 and Unfinished Battle. Mitsuda did what, the vocal at the end?
She had much better contributions than he did.
Bump
Man, imagine ice physics like Valak but with X's freedom to go anywhere and no fall damage.
>Yasunori Mitsuda is lead composer
The Absolute God of game soundtracks is back!
Now I know for sure, this is the sequel I wanted!
fuck you, give me back my potatoes and giant robots
Just wait for X2
Its not like XCX will magically disappear when this game comes out.
if it'll happen
true, I yet to 100% it.
but I hope X2 at least has giant robots, at least as enemies
>By some coincedence every important NPC who joins him is a girl
>At least one will be his personal servent
>Everyone will be ship teased repeatedly
>Possibly even something gameplay related that allows you to get touchy feely with them without going into full pervert mode
This is going to happen. Just kill me now.
>all of that good
>diminished by the weebshit budget artstyle
YOU HAD ONE JOB MONOLITH!
I gave up trying to 100% it because the autistic drop rates are ridiculous. One-shotting enemies over and over, hoping to get the weapons with the right perks, is pretty much anti-fun. I'm fine with my 91%
>if it'll happen
I fucking 100% Guarantee that X2 is being done by the other team
With bated breath I await the censorship and localisation fuck ups. Don't disappoint me now Nintendo.
Harsh reminder that XCX was probably the worst game Monolith Soft ever developed and a huge downgrade compared to their other games.
This better be good, else it will confirm that Monolith Soft has really gone to shit.
>XCX was probably the worst game Monolith Soft ever developed and a huge downgrade compared to their other games

Actually, the red haired girl is literally the "monado" he uses. Because that and how the blonde girl has a similar dress tgat the one red hair girl uses, we think she is also a monado.

Why are we excited Mitsuda is composing again?
>removing the vagina bones
Unforgivable.
Because Mitsuda did a lot of good shit before Xenoblade and ACE's back too anyway.
youtube.com
>youtube.com
sounds fine to me.
I'm aware of Mitsuda's catalogue but he hasn't done anything on the level of Xenogears, Trigger or Cross in a long time.
Also this song is the best song from Chrono Cross: youtube.com
no character creator no buy don't have time for this faggot shit anymore
custom characters are cancer for games with stories.
nope you are cancer
go play skyrim if you want custom character cancer
Eh, it's variety, the Xenoblades are going for different feels in their games
No, fuck you. Going from a great main character like Shulk to being a generic fill in the blank in X was fucking terrible.
God, Xenoblade was so amazing. And to come out in the middle of all the shitty rpgs released in recent years.
And the music, cant think of a single one that I disliked.
youtube.com
I thought this song was pretty bad: youtube.com
I want you to have sex with me while this song played in the background.
You kidding, right?
That sounds a lot like KH battle themes, which are all great.
Oh well, opinions.
I think it fits the game.

Meant to quote
>You kidding, right?
No it sounds ear gratingly awful.
At least she did this even if it only plays once: youtube.com
>Yasunori Mitsuda is lead composer
What, really?
His output's been pretty low in recent years, I wonder how many songs he'll actually write.
did xenoblade change art styles so it can run on the switch?
As long as XC1 combat is back and you can control a Nopon I'll be happy.
Keep in mind Shimomura was credited as lead composer for the original game even though she only did 11 out of 92 songs and Kiyota did 50 out of 92 songs which was more than every other composer combined.

>Xenogears OST
Shit time to tear up.
I was just listening to the Creid album too.
>tfw no game will ever surpass Xenogears

I have full faith in Monolith Soft. Just like Retro, they've done nothing to betray my trust, and all their games are at least a solid 7/10 at worst.
XCX combat was better than XC's combat.
>More variety
>More customization options
>Melee and ranged weapons
>Every weapon, minus the Javelin and the Gatling Gun, had some end-game use
>Enemies were actually challenging and had to be prepared for in advance
>No ridiculously powerful end game arts, the only way to overpower enemies is through stat manipulation
>No agility
>Overdrive, while barely explained and extremely hard to master, was still better than Chain Attacks.
No it was the story of a massive hateboner for robots
Retro have made more 10/10s though.
>A Xeno game
>Without giant robots
It's gonna happen
I just hope mechanical designs are on par with previous games
Tropical Freeze is legitimately my favorite Wii U game, followed closely by X and Bayonetta 2. It was fucking perfect, and Donkey Kong has nowhere to go from there but down.

My only 2 gripes are the loading times, and that the game only had 7 worlds.
So what's it going to be this time, guys?

PLACE YOUR BETS
One of the best recent Mitsuda tracks coming through:
youtu.be
I hope to hear a track similar to this in XB2. This is one of the best pieces of music Mitsuda has composed, imo.
Look at the picture of Homura, the flames behind her, her amazing armour, her hair, and listen to the music... it creates such an intensely absorbing and magical atmosphere and makes me think of the potential emotions of the character and the immense journey we will embark on.
This piece of music also makes me think of the city of Toussaint in The Witcher 3.

Xenoblade is nice, but I just want them to return to Baten Kaitos already. Maybe it'll finally happen in another decade or so.
I hate African, particularly savanah, aesthetics, but that was legitimately a cool world and level. It's kind of like how Xenoblade Chronicles X and Kirby's Return to Dreamland are the only 2 games with desert levels I don't hate.
I see here you didn't mention Wonderful 101, if you haven't played it then I highly recommend it.
Ancient Chinese Giant Robots
W101 is in my top 10, I'd rank it around Yoshi's Woolly World and Smash 4.
Wii U was such a great fucking system. I'm just upset we didn't get a new Metroid or F-Zero on it.
