That is a lot of fucking party members on the screen at one time.

I'm not sure I like the STANDS channeling into your weapons during combat.

Otherwise it looks great.

>Only 4 arts
>Only one playable character
I honestly don't even know if I should bother with it: it's probably not even plot connected with 1st anyway

Seems smooth and fun. Highly customizable, but I hope it doesn't end up being shallow or have a low skill ceiling.

The new UI is absolute sex, I love it so much

SO EXCITED

>titty girl isn't playable
>she's essentially an equip item instead

BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY

>Only one playable character
I doubt there's only 1 playable character, not sure about the arts thing either since presumably switching between blades brings up 4 other arts for per blade.

Continue watching bubbo.

btfo idiot

It's like the first in a way, will pick it up, looks fun for me

This, what the fuck?

why are the graphics worse than the wii u xenoblade?

I'm happy that the dev clearly said they're focusing on story driven rather than exploration open world based. Finally someone didn't fall for the open world meme.

>Preliminary gameplay
>I-IT ONLY SHOWED ONE GUY

Yes because Xenoblade was entirely just Shulk and Fiora like its first trailer, right?

Arts are based on "blades" which are characters you assign to assist you. You can have up to 4 blades, each blade has four arts, so you can have up to 16 arts, which is more than either of the previous games.

You can have two other party members. Each party member has their own "blades" as well.

>Having all the arts available in early game
No...

>treating females as goods

Is neogaf already complaining?

which they can also unlock too. My god this game just even better.

>you have to stop to auto attack...
i really like circling to the back of enemies in the original game
plus the new art system is not as appealing

The guy said that in the months coming up theyre gonna be adding a lot of polish to it, stating graphics would be improved.

Everything about this game looks good except for the fucking character design.

it looks like a fucking mmo.
is this really what nintards deem as a good game!?

Don't you feel silly?

And they have 24+ xcustomizable "blades"

Arts are bound to the blades

That's how the other games were.

lmaooo the chat is fucking done with it already
>boring
>next
>How long will they be playing this
>zzzzzzzzzzzz

How embarrassing.

Looks like garbage desu

These are the fags hyping early access survival shit and card games

so they were bad even then and you just weren't aware of it. So now you need to keep that tradition of ignorance alive?

I'll be interested once they get rid of that shitty mmo combat, that shit literally ruined XCX for me

>What does the word "Xeno" mean to you?
>[Japanese muttering]
>"Disgusting white piggu gaijin."

not him but the combat is like marmite - you either love it or hate it. It's at least something different.

Combat looks boring.

Is auto attack still in? I love the series and I can still get into the combat but I wish they'd modify it

Get rid of auto attacking maybe add a dodge mechanic

Literal GotY
Sony cucks on suicide watch desu

>It's at least something different.
>different

the combat is literally the same shit you see in most MMOs.
auto attack with button skills that have a cool down.

>SEE THAT TIGER
>YOU CAN RIDE IT

nah not really since it's semi-action combat as well.

>reading the chat
>reading comments
>ever

How embarrassing.

Looks unbelievably boring.

to be honest its like one of anime games made by bandai namco

what happened to xeno series seriously

I never thought it is possible we could get more excited with FExPersona than this shit

You have never played an MMO.

There's literally nothing seen here that isn't completely generic MMO combat.

I don't have a problem with that, but don't go thinking there's anything special here, unlike X where the mechs and Overdrive changed things up, or the original with future visions.

World looks comfy and imaginative
Character design is shit
Combat looks boring
Story might save it but I'm not optimistic

X is far more like an MMO than the original was or XC2 looks to be.

>people complaining about "mmo combat" again
>when it's not any different than turn based combat with positioning added in and cool downs replacing the turns
I fucking hate you people.

turn based feels way better than this shit

its shit

I'm a huge fan of the old Xeno series (gears, saga), and played most of Blade original back when it came out.

Fucking despised Blade for """"literally"""" being an MMO that was simply not online and not multiplayer. But mostly for having no fucking story when the previous entries were animu space saga masterpieces of literature. Obviously I jest a bit, but did this shitty aspect of Xeno in name only Blade ever change?

So you didn't watch the treehouse stream where the unique features were shown off?

The dev said that this time they focused on story rather than exploration so hopefully the story's gonna be good.

Nope. The game that had a more sci-fi setting, X, literally had less main story.

This game just gets better and better

>Mix of 1 and X

Shame they didn't take the armor designs from X. Or the sci-fi setting,

Yes, I'm sure that in a Xenoblade game there will be no outfits other than what you start with.

Rex's helmet is home to a small animal in one screenshot so I don't think it'll differ that much. I look forward to getting dozens of tank tops though. Still think I'll prefer X's armor designs, fashion armor or not.

Looks good, but if there's no dual audio or the slightest hint of censorship then I won't buy it out of spite and will import the Jap version.

It could also be that the helmet is just always worn. That would make some sense if those salvage points involve diving.

But yes, the clothing design in X is still the high water mark for the series.

The more I see of the game the more I want to play it.

The generic sci-fi outfits and boring greyed out look of the world was literally the worst part of X.

>no dual audio
is there no way to play eng sub/jap voices ?

yeah

Remember in the trailer there was a little mouse fella in rex's helmet? Yeah, those armors aren't changeable.

>masterpieces of literature

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*breathes in* AHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>implying you need English text at all when all the combat info has graphical markers

Or all of his armors will have helmets.

that tales character design is really influencing the game in a bad way...looks not good at all

Looking good so far need to see more.

You've never read a book before lmao

Xenogears story isn't remotely deep , complicated or intellectual

Shallow Christian symbolism and entry level psychological themes don't make a story deep

Christ this place is full of literal retards these days

I can't read moonrunes I'm just a weeb.

Yes, we all know he's desperately shitposting to try to force his epic new meme. Ignore him.

True but I find that to be much less likely. I hope I'm wrong of course but hell, even his grappling hook is used in one of his arts, these designs seem pretty permanent.

Looks like a falseflag, are you trying to deflect?

Looks like the best gameplay in the series from what they've shown, getting rid of the full on mmo hotbar but adding a lot of customization to you and your party was a good choice.

but it's not a troll, it's the truth

The helmet is really the only thing that probably always needs to be present since he's got a pet that lives in it (unless it just relocates if he changes). Batman doesn't need prominent grappling hooks on his costume.

All I'm saying is that it just got a whole lot more likely that you can't.

Looks really good.

At first I was worried it was gonna be like ToS2 with just the male female leads and random Pokemon/creatures to assist, but glad there's gonna be characters and it'll be a lot like XC1.

Eh, maybe. We'll have to see how they handle clothing. They could also have split layers where you can change clothes but not his vest thing. I don't really mind the helmet since it appears it has a logical purpose, but I could do without those chaps.

roaches are gonna shitpost about this for every xenoblade game until we stop paying attention to them.

>didn't watch the video

it's 4 arts PER BLADE

you equip 4 blades

it's 16 fucking arts in total

Even if this game gets censored will the jap version have english text?

I bought Xenoblade on 3ds but hated how the game looked.
Should i give it a second chance on my WiiU?

they confirmed dual audio at the end user

where's the time stamp, assholes

Sure. How far did you get in the 3ds version? How'd you feel about the combat?
