I hope in the next Xenoblade the leaves on the trees actually sway in the wind

Is this a new image? I've never seen it before.

>Monolith Soft managed 900p/30fps with a physics engine on a WiiU port
>Nintendo managed 900p/60fps on an Unreal 4 Mario game
>Nintendo managed 1080p/60fps on a 3D fighting game
>Xenoblade 2 has no/little collision detection and slow movement speed

Honestly, I would be disappointed if it weren't 1080p/30fps at this point, especially given Monolith Soft's previous track record on getting the best out of a platform.

Who else is going to always have the best nopon be the leader?

>Playing a Xenoblade game
>Acknowledging the Nopon's

I enjoyed Xenoblade games in spite of those annoying little things desu

I think that they're pretty cute. Plus they give a nice contrast to all the humanoid races present in the games.

I will definitely play as Mr. Build It.
Full power to weapon systems!

Translation of friday's tweets

One more introduction today! Here “Azami”, designed by hakus just like Kuvira. Chiwa Saitou do voice. She have ephemeral and decadently beautiful look. But there creepy things around her… Azanami is eerily enticing Blade!

And her quote in the video
Here quick look at Resonance scene for Azami too! “I am your prisoner”... Such adult thing to say...!
[“I am Azami. I am your prisoner. Keep me by your side forever.”]

Here rare Blade “Kuvira”. He elegant Blade with air of nobility. hakus did design, and Mamoru Miyano do voice.

Here Resonance scene for Kuvira. Why he so bossy? Monopon almost feel urge to obey anyway!
[“I am Kuvira. Prostrate yourself, knave!”]

Azami is Nomura isn't it

I just can't wait to get my hands on this game and play it. I'm sick of watching it, I just want to feel the combat and movement with my own hands because I bet it feels so good and comfy to play. Holding those joycons and just turning the sticks to move Rex and pressing the face buttons to do an attack is just gonna feel so satisfying.

These games are so much better when you're actually playing them. The joy and feel of moving your character and the satisfying dishing out of an Art on an enemy... UGH.

I cannot wait to hear the orchestrated version of this.

What are the odds that the japanese version will have a english text/subtitle option?

Yandere time boys

>designed by hakus
No. Also art style is pretty different from Nomura's.

>still seven and a half hours until Japan Time
These threads are made way too early.

>No belts

MonolithSoft worked on a Wii U port? If you're talking about BoTW, MonolithSoft only helped out an had some B-Team shitter working on it; The majority was Nintendo itself.

...

>level 36
>against level 22 enemies
>that little damage
What the hell are they doing?
Who is the incompetent fuck playing here?

Mario isn't unreal 4, it's Nintendo's own engine

Monolith doesn't have a B-team.

The movement is really uncanny at some points
Might be intentional
I don't like how weightless the gun feels though

Definitely intentional seeing as she's a puppet. You can see the strings attached to her.

They boosted HP of enemies to show off all the combat stuff.

yes they do, the kyota branch that assists on other nintendo games (BotW had the main team help tho) and project X zone

Wonder if they're going to cover a character today, and if so who.

I FUCKING DID IT
200 HOURS FOR THIS
EAT MY SHIT TELETHIA

No, I mean actual damage
Even with that 318% multiplier, they were still dealing like 296

>EAT MY SHIT TELETHIA
Wow, what a coincidence. That's EXACTLY what I said too. Seriously fuck that asshole.

>straight out of africa if you ask me

I just noticed there's a new gauge on the top left
What does it do?

Those little comments seem to be random and that one came up throughout my entire playthrough. Popped up right at the end as I took the picture. Made me smile.

Sadly, if I had been a few seconds faster with the screenshot, I would have gotten that far superior "Alex Did Nothing Wrong" comment. Ah well.

Choose you character

It's the usual party/tension bar you can spend on raising and such. I think they mentioned this in a stream.

none

pirate dunban, train conductor, vandamme

Playing badly. Didn't the Europeans manage to get 5-digit damage against that tyrant?

No, while performing a Chain Attack.
It becomes orange and is not segmented anymore.

It probably does double duty like it did in X then. They have stated you need it to raise people, so if you suck too hard you maybe can't do chain attacks?

And in original Xenoblade, now that I think about it.

No, it only becomes orange and not segmented while performing a Chain Attack, when you're done it goes back to normal.
Look at the gif and the footage here youtube.com/watch?v=EFRX1Qb-_O8#t=26m29s

It's probably tracking how well you're doing the chain attack. Maybe it affects those element balls flying around?

its a bank holiday in Japan today.

Yeah, but how
What's its purpose
Dealing more damage?
Reaching an arbitrary value to do something specific?
Yet another layer of combat?

>58 hours into XCX trying to finish before xc2
>Do Manhunt affinity mission
Welp, I want to fuck an alien.

>not on pc
God this shit is so annoying

It increased when he broke one of the elemental seals. The bar increased at the same time that the damage bonus went from 318% to 518%, so likely it corresponds to how much of a bonus the Chain Attack is given. Maybe it even enters a next layer of combat if you raise it high enough.

Given how much it increased, I expect that you need to break from 5 to 6 of them to maximize the bar.
Which makes me wonder what the hell would live for so long.

Tf kind of pose is Gramps doing

I think cooldowns get shorter as you level up or gain affinity with your blades, so it's likely that the whole process will speed up a lot the further you're in the game.

That's it. I'm cancelling my special edition preorder.

This game is shaping up to be poorly managed weebshit with moe trash characters, incongruent artstyles and probably a half-assed shit tier plot if X is anything to go by.

What's the bet they start selling soul crystal loot boxes for that sweet gacha $$$? Even if they don't, having randomised fanart toons stuck to your ass and every generic anime girl character playing any party role has totally destroyed the game anyway.


Maybe I'll pick up the standard physical edition so I can return it when it's inevitably a total let down. Face it, people, XBC1 isn't coming back. They didn't learn from X and you know it.

>392805385
I could swear I saw this posted in this same thread.
no (you)s for you and your copypasta, friendo

Somebody give me a reason to go back to playing XCX so I can feel motivated enough to maybe finally beat the damn thing before December.

The sidequests are good
Overdrive makes you feel great when you do it right

I UNDERSTAND, THE ENEMIES SEEM TOO STRONG BECAUSE THEY ARE USING BASE ARMOR, THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN CUSTOMIZATION YET please lord let this be it

>faggot trying out different stale shitposts again
So boring.

>mfw finally realised you can MAXIUM OVERDRIVE

Do it for this cutie

Collect some cool armor and youtube.com/watch?v=o3yG_20r338

>no Japan Time
NOOOOOOOOOOOO

The hell is that

Wasn't September 22 also a bank holiday? It still tweeted that day.

>Nintendo managed 900p/60fps on an Unreal 4 Mario game
>Nintendo
>Ever using someone else's engine
They always make their own engine for every game they make.

A generic term for some public holidays. It's not literally called a bank holiday in Japan, but it is indeed still a public holiday today (Sports Day).
Yes.

Don't know about Japanese version. But Nintendo seem to be more willing to support dual audio. After the complaint about Zelda having only one (you can switch it by switching languages but that switches everything) they put a patch to have dual audio. And people seem happy with Fire Emblem Warrior having it.

Why can't open world gamse make a field of flowers or a different color weeds/grass to try and differentiate themselves. Do people really get hyped for this shit over and over. Maybe i'm become an irritated the older i get being 29 on Sup Forums or maybe i just expect a little more creativity. Xenobalde 2 was such a good game i hope it's not a pure retread.

>Yes.
Then we'll probably still get one tonight, too.

Xenoblade Chronicles*

Outside of those pants I actually think Rex design is fine. The issue really is the weird almost clownish pants that act like parachute pants.

They look like how old-time diving gear looked with bulky limbs and huge joints, particularly when they thighs seal when diving. Unlike Pyra's outfit, his fanservice has practical justification in that it's a less restrictive form of his full-body work clothes.
I'd still like the option to change drivers' outfits, of course.

I get why it looks the way it does. I just think it looks a bit too weird. Yeah I hope we have some from of costume changes. Lack of gear changes like in XC1 and X sucks but if they have actual costume selections like in Tales I would be happy.

>that Kaibyaku voice
youtube.com/watch?v=EFRX1Qb-_O8&t=22m11s

Doesn't sound too Texan to me, honestly.

Hopefully we get some Vandham art soon, as we have no idea what his lower body even looks like.

It's definitely somewhere from the American south though. Wonder if we'll be getting any more Burger accent variety.

...

Guess the issue is unless they are going to be willing to show off cut scenes to show off the voices we aren't really going to hear them proper.

The wind blows hard in December

Does this guy sound like Johnny Yong Bosch to anybody else?

>Kill the giant ass robot
>A bridge got destroyed
Good thing I saved before starting the chapter.

I can see where you're coming from, but not really. Sounds more like Grant George but to me, but I really doubt it's either of them.

How do they manage to make this game so much more beautiful than X when the Switch is barely stronger than the Wii U?

This. Nomura's art is horrible and borderline gay.

It's more than barely, and successive games on the same engine often look better. The landscape is probably easier to render as well since the titans are self-contained areas to avoid the Wind Waker problem.

>buying a switch for 1 game

ISHYGDDT

tfw buying it for 2, prime 4 exists

X looked really beautiful in some parts. For some reason Wii U always muted the colors in video and screen shots.

I bought the switch for many games. Right off the top of my head:
>Mario Odyssey
>Xenoblade 2
>No More Heroes 3
>Shin megami tensei HD
>Metroid
>Zelda botw (and the eventual Switch exclusive)
>indie games on the go

Do you think the switch will have stock shortages this Christmas?

I don't know but I got the mario odyseey bundle on deck just in case, can't miss XC2 when it launches

I think I might do the same. Don't want to risk it.

>gain 100% map completion
>the pc isn't even in the picture
>Tatsu is front and center in the frame

The CAC might as well have not even existed.

Hot items are always hard to get in the holiday season. They've clearly ramped up production, but I doubt it will be enough.

I know, I'm the guy who took and made all those autistic big screenshot pictures with upped colors.

I don't remember X looking this good. Is this from CEMU?

boot up XCX, increase the contrast on your TV

Did

Even with maximum overdrive I seem to be fucking up against The Vita, mostly his 2nd phase. I haven't even gotten to Chimera Lao yet.
I had to put the game on the back burner a while ago and finally got back to it so I'm frustrated that I'm hitting this wall. Also, level 50 Skells cost way too much.

Yes or no and what would they play like?
