Is there a single character more cute than my chuuni husband, Zeke?

>This approach doesn't count out references to Takahashi's previous work on Xenogears or Xenosaga. "There's a lot that I can't talk about yet [that] hasn't been revealed, but it will be hopefully soon," Takahashi teases. "I think there's content in there where longtime fans of the series will have a pleasant surprise."

Some of you Hom Homs are alright. Don't try to go to Elysium tomorrow.

From the GameInformer preview:

>You can cancel an incoming attack by using an Art right when your weapon finishes its combo. For instance, with Rex I anticipated the end of his three-move combo and then struck the Art immediately to block the incoming attack. Canceling quickly charges up your special meter, so it's in your best interest to perform it when you can.
>The window of opportunity is slim on combos and canceling, so you must pay close attention to get the most out of combat.

So wait a minute, cancelling means parrying the enemy's attack?

That was some nice last-second timing, user.

There's a 70% chance that Morag and Vandham are party members later on.

The English direct mentioned that the combination of blade types you uses determines your class, and showed two class names--Jack of all Trades, and Wild Cavalier--but the Japanese direct went into more detail about those two classes plus a third one.

Jack of All Trades (Japanese name "All-arounder")
Blade makeup: One each of Attack, Tank, and Healer.
Buffs:
Taken damage - small decrease
Dealt damage - small increase
Healing pod effectiveness - small increase

Wild Cavalier (Japanese name "Holy Cavalier")
Blade makeup: One Attack, two Healers.
Buffs:
Dealt damage - small increase
Healing pod effectiveness - large increase
Aggro from arts and special attacks - large decrease

Royal Knight (I assume the English name will be slightly different)
Blade makeup: Two Tanks, one Healer
Buffs:
Taken damage - large decrease
Healing pod effectiveness - small increase
Aggro from afts and special attacks - small decrease

Full offense team will be some crazy shit. I can feel it

>You can interrupt enemy attacks/arts with the good old anime skill clash

Why do people keep calling him a chuuni?

I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one art that has some cancel effect too.

>I thought they were just talking about animation cancelling
Neat

Probably a damage reduction but pretty cool nonetheless

I thought cancelling was timing it with the end of your autoattack. This shit's way cooler if it wasn't a bad translation though

Royal knight should become paladin, since that is the European word for a knight in direct service of the crown.

>people say the English dub industry is shit because they overuse the same handful of people and it's hard for new talent to break in
>the XB2 JP cast is full of big names we've heard a million times before
>people are jizzing themselves over it

Explain yourselves.

What translation? Gameinformer's in English.

Maybe OG Muhnado. And lots of callbacks.

>chuuni pose during Specials
>chuuni art names
>named himself Zeke B Ultimate Genbu

>OG monado
>xenogears/saga

I think Malos is the 7th party member, if he doesn't bit it when Pyra transforms into Mythra.

Yes, this Sword is cuter.

I had to look it up on urban dictionary.

Why does he look like he's in so much pain?

Why is the battle narrated by the fucking Marvel vs Capcom 2 guy?

Being new doesn't excuse being bad. There's a reason the old guard are re-used over and over and over whether it's East or West.

Mòrag is a beautiful name and she is beautiful woman!

Yes, youtu.be/JQB-gkjCHiY?t=2m30s
Because that's how chuuni works. I always found it a weird thing to apply to characters who appear to have actual powers, but whatever. It's cute.

Wow, I had no idea.
Zeke is love, Zeke is life.

What is the name of her blade?

Mòrag mo problems.

Some arts have cancel effects.

>All of the Female JP Voices were fucking cringe
>The men sounded fine

Jesus Christ why. I might actually play with English voices because of the squealing school girls.

Will this break 1 million units sold? I sure hope so.

Brighid in English I think.

>this game will unlock in 3 weeks

>all female voices sound fine in English
>the males (mainly Tora and Rex) suck
It's the complete opposite in English

Dub or Sub?

Scottish voice or Manly voice?

>releasing with ads and not the last big release of a console
yes

the other two were just shy of 1 million anyways

not the last big release of a dead console, I should say

>Both are related to fire
That's neat.

>Each Driver has its own skill set for each weapon type
>But special attacks are Blade-dependant so which one to use is more than a cosmetic choice
Very nice, many hours will be spent simply battling around with different setups

Whatever do you mean? There are plenty of females with deeper voices. Just take this Blade for example.
twitter.com/XenobladeJP/status/926706854180175873

Buffs are also blade dependent, so picking blades that cast good buffs on you is probably worth it too.

>her Blade is female
>it turns out that it works by His Dark Materials rules and if the Driver and Blade are the same gender it means the Driver is gay

Please do me a solid Takahashi

Immediately benching that one

how is the combat system? can someone compare it to some other game or is it basically just a shitty mmo combat system from the looks of it?

Do they all have unique skill trees too or is that only for main party member blades?

>they're both gay but they act as each others' wingmen
>Morag spends the whole game coming on to Nia and Brighid goes after Pandoria

wouldnt surprise me with how deep her voice is, its ridiculous unless they're going for a butch type, though she doesn't actually look butch

Several of the female voices in the direct were fucking terrible cringe-y screaming school girl tier.

The ones in question were also primary members of the cast.

I do not want to hear that obnoxious shit, regardless of my general preference for hearing stuff in the original language.

Rex might be terrible in English, but at least Rex and Tora were the only bad ones.

It's like if Smash Bros Brawl Pokemon Trainer went into Xenoblade.

those are some poofy pants from her

anyone translate these profiles yet

All blades have them, even common blades. Rare blades obviously have more to unlock on them.

This fucking guy

...

Scottish voice is hot. Manly voice is really, really not.

Well. The game is being released early on console life time, there is nothing on the way like a FF game or even tales yet.


Also it going release on holidays season, so big chunk of sales are going be from Black Friday an xmas. Since Ninty games have legs and this time there isn't gamestop to cuck sales, it going be the best selling one for sure.

Someone posted a translation in the last thread but I already closed the tab, I'm sure somoene here has them.

>socks and arm gloves that melt into blue flame

CHIKARA.

>the males (mainly Tora and Rex) suck
What the fuck's wrong with Dromarch? Azurda's good, too.

>doesn't find the dub females cringey
It goes both ways in different respects I'd say.

Where can I hear her english voice?

pretty snazzy design actually, anime slutty without being excessively anime slutty

so far I like Morag and Brighid the best out of the duos

will brighid have some intimate connection to pyra since they're both fire

Where'd you find that clean art of her?

Fuck. She's gorgeous. Her design is fucking mint too.

Got one for Mòrag?

E3 trailer

Predicting he'll be better in English. Tsuda isn't great at Engrish and is only mediocre as a comedic ham.

>Elegant
>A little sexy
>ZR
She pretty

Posted from the last thread.

>Pandoria (Blade, Electric attribute. Voiced by Ryou Hirohashi): Zeke’s Blade, that grants him a giant sword as a weapon. She takes great care of her Driver.

>Vandham (Driver, voiced by Tesshou Genda): the leader of a Mercenary group known as Fraseberg (English name TBC). He’s a pretty strong and muscular person, but he also happens to have a big heart;

>Suzaku (Blade, Wind attribute. Voiced by Takahiro Fujimoto): a dual bow-wielding Blade, who can create strong gusts of wind. He’s Vandham one and only Blade, and the two deeply trust each other.

>Morag (Driver, voiced by Mitsuki Saiga): a special executive officer of the Empire of Mor Ardain, and the Empire’s strongest Driver. She’s after the Aegis, which is why she frequently crosses paths (and blades) with Rex and Pyra;

>Kagutsuchi (Blade, fire attribute. Voiced by Shizuka Ito): she assists Morag, by providing her with useful advice. She uses two long swords, that can extend like whips.

>Akhos (voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki): he’s pretty skilled when it comes to gathering and analysing intel. He’s pretty loyal to Jin, and performs his duty as Torna’s brains.

Thank you.

what's in those tubes on her belt

Oh I know, I was being sarcastic given the Blade I linked there. I don't have a huge problem with them but I'll probably be opting for the Dub too since personally that's part of the appeal.

I'm assuming they're asking from the perspective of someone who isn't familiar with Xenoblade at all? I don't think comparing it to MMO combat does it justice at all but I'm not really qualified to try comparing it to the combat in other games. Hopefully someone else in this thread is willing to give you a write-up. For reference though, what about about MMO combat do you not like? If this is MMO combat then it's a hell of a lot better than most.

right click the images on the Japanese Xenoblade 2 official website and you can doenload them as transparent images

what the hell chuuni means ?

You crack them and they glow in the dark.

>princess leia buns that are on fire

What's people's problem with Saito's character design again? That is some seriously beautiful JRPG character design

Twitter.

See the above reply. You might be able to find a clean high res picture of him.

I bet Pandoria has a really cute face behing those xboxhueg glasses

I think canceling is just activating an art right after an auto attack hits to cancel end lag. Pretty sure its the blue circle effect spark that appears sometimes when activating arts, and it builds your special meter. In this clip there's no cancel effect when Rex uses Sword Bash, but there is one when he uses a hammer art right after the auto attack connects.

She'll be lusting for that shota emperor cock

You know that one dumb kid in elemtary school?
The one who thought he was "the special" like Harry Potter, Ash Ketchum, or Naruto and saw the world as a fictional tale and that he was the protagonist?

>him

when it gets busy, it gets busy. and weird. brighid's pretty good though

>visible navel through skin tight underdress

> ZR
> blue flame gloves and high tights

Great design, a good mix of elegant and anime slutty.

> dual wields swords
> has a dagger

For what purpose?

Depends on the group of people really. Saito's characters are top tier cute while being a tad lewd too. That second part just triggers some "people"

You can't save the Blades separately from the Drivers, and some of them also have their descriptions included in the images.

because it looks incredibly cool

>delicious /ll/

Now I'm sad knowing this will never happen

sounds like me

>Soraya Saga going on a NoA, NoE, and Xenoblade twitter retweeting spree
twitter.com/sorayasaga

Another example here. No cancel effect when switching to Zakuro or using an art with her, but it does get the cancel effect when blade switching again to Guren at the end of an auto attack and it even builds meter with no art used.

for when she gives them to morag?

It's always been cute how much she supports her husband's work.

I also found it funny that the entire "Rare blades" scene in the japanese direct was a bunch of cute girls with Soraya's male blade stuck right in the middle.

looks really good but i still haven't beat the original and i don't feel like going back to it

that dress makes her hips look massive

unless they are that big, in which case, all the better
