How much was improved?

How much was improved?

The framerate still looks like absolute garbage.

looks like he aged about 4 years which is good.

Did they change his English voice and outfit?

Amazing what lighting and physics can do

I prefer "mom said its my turn to play" rex

>jaggies everywhere
>oversaturated colors
>worse normal maps
>objectively worse lighting model

Improved?

>actually owning a nintendo switch

Not enough

...

Why the fuck does japan always insist on either shitty teenagers or little kids as protagonists?

being an adult sucks. you have responsibilities and shit, don't have time to save the world

literally so the player has someone to identify with.
Notice how most anime revolves around school in one way or another? it's the same thing. They know exactly what they're doing

>easier to identify with
>more impressionable so it's easier to write

Nothing, because it's a Xenoblade game.

The chromosome+ eyes have been removed.

why did they make him yellow

How do people stomach this generic shounen tripe?

>Butterfly on his chest
kek

The nose looks awful from the front, it's like a blackhead with a zit full of steamy push underneath

Should've kept the hair the at same length tbqh

He's still wearing that fucking stupid outfit so not much.

I really hope this game lets you change costumes based on your armor like the other two games because Rex's default armor/outfit looks goddamned retarded

user I have some bad news...

fuck.

NOPE.
>tfw when you can no longer mix match outfits like making your MC wear Lao's outfit in X.

because teenage phase is the last time japanese feel like human beings. and then its a long road of an empty life until death.

He's asian.

>being an adult sucks.

do you really want to self insert a male bald space marine? 90% all his hair is around his hairy asshole with 10% being facial hair as with most adult males

great they made him whiter. and you fucks say whitewashing doesnt exist

>anime models designed entirely in 2D stretched over a 3D model
Fucking hell.

but the left looks a lot better?

Why would the Japanese whitewash their own games, you fucking amoeba?

A lot of his design problems are related to his fucking awful outfit.

To appeal to a western market fucking ignorant retard. Are people seriously this ignorant?

At least this one seems to cell shaded a bit and well stylized.
You could look like a mutant abortion in XCX if you weren't careful

Yellower actually. So more asian.

It went from AA1 with mods to AA2.

>Jin is literally *teleports behind you* the character

By this logic, they've also been whitewashing their anime since the 80s to appeal to westerners, even though anime had almost no food hold in the west until DBZ.

You're a genius, Neofag

If they wanted to appeal to any market they'd make him not look like fucking dogshit. Who seriously saw his fucking outfit and said "Yeah this is fine." Xeno 2 is fucking Battleborn levels of god awful character design.

The real answer is japs don't like themselves.

...

It really does...

More room for characters development something that amerilards can't understand.

They never made them this white.
Wow! Racist jokes! Funny!

This is your Blade for tonight.

I was hoping for xenoblade type models, with cell shading characters like lin look good

Notice his chest. he has that thing from Pyra on the right, but not the left. Does this mean that they just recently added that bit into the story about Pyra saving Rex's life and that's why he helps her? I guess they needed a reason in the story for Rex to help Pyra

Because:
1) Japanese games often tend to be coming of age stories, and often include subplots about being young and in love
2) Same age as the target market

>a male helping a female with great tits
>needing a reason
I mean Rex must be hitting puberty, do we have an official age for him yet?

I would say the game overall looks much better than it did and I'm very glad because I was super critical when I first saw it. Still think his overall design looks like shit though.

This honestly reminds me of 80s kid adventure series but with modern anime aesthetics.

*teleports behind you*

Left was probably just an early model.

not that i heard, but he's definitely a teen
But i mean, being serious, Nintendo probably doesn't want their protagonist looking like a walking penis and wanna make him look more grand and honorable and whatnot, hence the "I owe you my life" troupe

why do I get the impression that this guy is gonna die relatively early in the game

Okay?

Did anyone translate the new bios and stuff?

He's a glasses wearing villain with a cocky personality, he's gonna die early.

Because this game is a shonen anime. Gotta have that first act villain.

>implying he's not the actual main villain and the final boss

Heh... get on my level, people.

>"pssh, nothing personnel, kid"

>ill save the world in a week i hurt my back yesterday

>still looks garbage

Wake me up when they made Chronicles X 2

they look like their from two different games

...

Nomura made the one on the right

>never made them this white
Okay but that's wrong

>saying they made him more yellow thus more Asian is racist
But Asians are more yellow than white people. That's not racist, that's a fact. That is, unless you're going to tell me facts are racist now

Because he's shit.

Because everyone can identity with being a kid. No kid wants to play as an old man, but an old man will play as being a kid. C'mon user I know it's annoying but this shit is obvious.

Doesn't matter what anything looks like in Xenoblade, the core gameplay is shit.

but he didn't teleport

They really like the creepy soulless doll aesthetic, don't they? Weebs are the fucking worst.

It's okay when Nintendo does it

Not really, kids want to play as adults all the time.
Seriously, the most popular video game character of all time is a dumpy italian plumber.

>mario's age having anything to do with the gameplay. yeah we all want to be pixels too if that's your logic.

...

>soulless
>has more expression than both Shulk and Elma combined in a single cutscene
>this isn't including plenty of idle animations that all the characters have to give them their own personality

Get outta here with that nonsense.

That's not a matter of age but of entertaining gameplay.

Besides, what is adult like about saying wahoo, yahoo, and I'm the best every so often?

It's pretty shallow of you to assume people only play a character because of how they look and not because of how they're fun to play / well written (if the game has a compelling narrative that is).

Wow. It's tolerable now

How old was Shulk supposed to be? He seemed like a young adult in his early 20s, which for a JRPG should translate to like 15.

Wasn't he like 19 or something?'
He definitely wasn't in his 20s, because Sharla was 21 and she was older than them.

Will armour change?

Like thats the best thing about XB

who cares? its fucking dual audio babyyy!!

>How much was improved?

Everything is a downgrade from XCX, from exploration, to combat, to localization, to identity, to soul. But hey one thing is true, poeple would rather have the shittiest generic story in the world than no story at all.

No, XC2 is a downgrade from XCX. Only XCX had customizable mecha and armor.

wtf
We could change armour in XC, XCX but not XC2

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

it went from uncanny to... uncanny

Stories about adults are too serious.

Still looks like A1-Pictures shit.

Monolith games won't ever NOT have horrible character artstyles, no matter how drastically they change them game to game. It's impressive at this point how they manage to consistently fuck it up every time.

Why does he have 2 sets of eyebrows?

Japan is the king of NEETS and manchildren virgins. Take a guess you fucking nigger.

Guarantee a black person is behind this. Literally everyone knows Japan "whitewashes" most of their games and anime. Black people are the only ones who don't want to accept that and tell you "It's made in Japan and they speak in Japanese, how can they be white?"
>inb4 I'm white

Goku has blonde hair and blue eyes, you fucking retard.

>references DBZ
You might be onto something.

Green eyes and do you even know why Toriyama gave super saiyans blonde hair?

He was subconsciously brainwashed by the white man to automatically think of blonde hair first.

How did you know?

Just connected the dots on how much Japan's nationalism was influenced by Nazi Germany.
