Small looks fine on a small screen of a 3DS. Back in Wii times, high resolution flat screens weren't dirt cheap and everywhere like they are nowadays. Switch had a lot of nifty tricks to punch above its weight + had to deal with a smaller screen as an option. Switch 2 jump is the only really novel one but they probably are doing it because it is a trend and they need to milk more money in case 4 flops. Overall, none of this is really weird and many other games went through similar.
>>
>>741642161
It's funny because the chronological order is
480p -> 240p -> 720p -> 2160p
instead of just always going up. And oddly doesn't include 1080p at all, despite that being the most common resolution for the longest period of time.

The PC version because you can apply a memory edit ck to lower the amount of XP you gain. Without it, if you do all the sidequests as soon as they become available you will always be 10+ levels overleveled with even story bosses being completely trivial, ruining the experience.

In Dolphin, you right click the game in the browser, click properties, then "edit config" button on the bottom and paste this into the ini file.
Make sure to enable it under gecko codes, AND enable cheats in the main config.

Note: turn it off around the part when you reach Central Factory. The game starts having drastically fewer side quests, and you will no longer be able to keep up. From that point on, the vanilla xp gain is fine.
The second number in the second line (3E9CCCCD) is the multiplier. It's a 32 bit floating point number and you can replace it with anything you like. You can find any number you want at for example this site:

"Anime" style consistently looks more realistic and believable than the other stuff it is always compared to.

3 is about teenagers discovering forbidden sex rituals and using it to defeat clownish monsters who experiment on and torture people to ultimately beat a guy who keeps time frozen watching everything in a movie theater. The whole way they are powered by love, said destined love even rebranching their two worlds after they are separated. I don't understand why anyone thinks it is less anime. 2 felt a lot more western outside of the flashy sword fights.

The colors are really muted and the game is heavily constrained by the hardware but it’s impressive what they did on the Wii. The problem with the game is that you really need a 480p crt to get the best visuals but the game is 16:9 and I don’t even know if any 16:9 480p crts. I’m sure there are some rare HDCRTs that did 480p 16:9

Switch 2 version obviously, if you can afford Switch 2 + the game, but you're likely a third world poorfag like all of us here, so the Switch 1 version emulated on PC, use the Eden emulator, it's the best one right now.

The Wii version has less content, blurry textures and really ugly nightmare fuel faces. And the 3DS one is a further downgrade of that.

>>741656310
I'm arguing that having your mouth open doesn't equal to "showing more emotion" because people have more emotions than just "having their mouth open" and those emotions also have degrees to them. Cherrypicking just the instances that show characters opening their mouths (whether it's appropriate or not) isn't showcasing that they have more emotions, it's showcasing that their face is stuck in one of like three expressions the game has for each charactrer. Look at fucking Xenosaga I and see how effortlessly it clears this with roughly the same range of facial expression as OG Xenoblade simply because it had actual art.

It's dumb dumbs whining about a common stylistic choice to emote with the mouth w/ only teeth showing in some shots. As opposed to having their mouths agape all of the time.

>>
>>741656665
Your fixation on purely the mouth is proving my point that you are indeed the autistic one. Compare the eyes and nose in the 3ds/wii version with the switch version. In the old version, the lower part of her eyes is covered by her raised cheeks. Her nostrils are also raised. This is what happens when a person smiles genuinely. A non autistic person can tell a smile without even looking at the mouth, just by looking at the eyes. Meanwhile in the new version, her eyes are vacant. Her nostrils aren't raised. Her face lacks emotion, apart from a a slight smile. Anyone who isn't autistic immediately picks up on these details. And you're whole case about "gasping like a fish" is just nonsense. Laughing with a slightly open mouth is completely normal and common. Again, your fixation on the mouth just further proves your lack of skill in reading facial expressions.

They didn't have any sense of cohesion or character designs done. They designed gear first and then just slapped together some textures for the faces. Essentially the wii version is a half finished amateurish if not, fanfiction version of the corrected and official switch release.

There is some idea prevalent here that creatives must have fun all the time doing their work. A lot of the cheap junk you see is because it is a lot simpler and funner to do. It is also why they fuck around with snack bars and toy breaks and whatever. While one should enjoy what they do in life, in western companies they have practically turned creative work into playtime. It is why everything takes forever and comes out so low quality. The idea of doing creative work for a living being a gift itself seems lost to many.

>Muh expressiveness
The Wii models were so stiff and low poly that they needed to exaggerate every facial expression just to get any readable emotion, they'll post screenshots of cutscenes where Shulks frown is a bit more pronounced but ignore the other 90% of cutscenes where the characters are all completely pokerfaced because there's no justification in the scene to show extreme emotion (The only kind the models are capable of). The DE models allow for much more wide range of subtlety in expressions. Anyone who unironically believes the Wii version is better is outing themselves as a faceblind autist who can't read emotions unless they're being expressed at 110%.

And even if the model is more "limited" than the new one, that doesn't change the fact that this older model is more expressive than the newer model. The argument from the start was that the older version is more expressive, and now you are moving the goalposts in a number of different ways. It's "limited and outdated" and seemingly "innapropiate", but you don't refute that it's more expressive.

>you don't refute that it's more expressive.
I addressed it here >>741656665, your idea of exaggerated expression in one moment with no context doesn't mean that the old models are more expressive in general. The examples of the contrary have been posted in this very thread, like >>741658848. You don't really have to invent convoluted reasons to dislike the DE art style. You can just say that you dislike modern anime art and nobody would find it weird because most people dislike it too. For actual "more emotional range with less resources" I think Xenogears is a good example, it has one character dialogue portrait per character and instead conveys a lot of emotions through scene compositions, character sprites, music and generally solid cutscene direction.

So if Zanza was so smart, for what reason in the previous cycle did he take the form of a giant with a vagina instead of a benis and testicles? Is he some kind of pervert freak?

I mean, there are actual fuckwit retards who think final fantasy with it's psuedo photorealism art direction in the modern games looks like or worse, better than any objectively superior stylized anime franchise. It's amazing how low taste some people are.

Modern FF art direction is full uncanny valley. Anime faces on photorealistic textures look creepy. It’s the mix of big eyes and small nose/mouth. That can’t cross over to 3D.
>>
>>741641678
why go through all of this trouble when the fucking series as a whole is so fucking boring?
>>
>>741657345
I mean, the models are consistent with the concept art. It's clearly meant to have an earthier, realer look, like FF12 or something.
It's quasi-anime. not anime anime.
>>
>>741660612
>quasi anime

Yeah, that's not a good thing. Glad we agreed takahashi and co corrected their past failings.

>>741660690
I don't agree.

>>741660612
Famously Xenoblade 1 never had any character concept art. The models came first, 2D assets came after and were based on the models.
>>
>>741660721
It's okay, we can't all have the correct opinions all of the time. You're forgiven.

What does that matter? Does artistic intent depend on the order in which things are illustrated or modeled? Actually explain that to me or I'll curse your bloodline with my nigger juju magicks for 10,000 years

The "character designers" weren't actual character designers, they were the gear designers who made placeholder human designs. Notice that all previous and following games emphasize character designers.
>Kunihiko Tanaka
>Koichi Mugitani (CHOCO)
>Kaori Tanaka (Soraya Saga)
>Takayuki Yanase
>Masatugu Saito (saitom)
>Tetsuya Nomura
>Yusuke Kozaki
>Mai Yoneyama
>PALOW.
among many others

Yet all character designs originating from inside Monolith Soft (ie. Torna's Blades) are simply credited as "MONOLITH SOFT" without giving any names, even if you can find the specific people in the credits.

still get annoyed by the amount of frame dips some maps have. Hopefully it gets patched or monolith keeps tinkering with it before 2 releases.

They could probably turn off vsync or at least used triple buffered vsync. Or maybe they can't because Nintendo still hasn't implemented docked VRR. God I fucking hate that.

Just emulate the switch version on 4k. You can load in "mods" for that. Art style wise the Wii version is better, the newer ones have that generic animu style bullshit going on.

The eyes are nearly the same, with the right ones just being colored better. The only difference in movement is that the left stretches cartoonishly while the right moves much more naturally.

X has a few good character designs. Lin and Elma and maybe the one alien archaeologist check and Doug. But a lot of the npc models just look like a generation or three removed. It's just barely scraping hitting acceptable levels of hitting anime stylization but falls short instead of embracing it 1000000%
>>
I hope once we get the reveal of the cast being locked into a space colony of the o'neill or dyson variety. That we get a bunch of JRPG scifi tacticool outfits and gear similar to X.

Emulators can't improve asset quality, even at 4X resolution its quite blurry. Unless there are texture replacement mods which is just another layer of effort.

When I first played XB1 on my modded Wii I didn't have a classic controller and played the entire game with the Wiimote+nunchuck. It really was surprisingly comfy not having to always keep both hand and arms in the center just to control a game. Hate that modern gaymers never gave the Wii and the Wiimote a chance. Retards here still think waggling is always involved when using it.
>>
>>741641943
If you can play without the quest markers they're all the same. Well, I still prefer DE because it has manual levelling from 2 and 3. Basically it's very easy to be overlevelled in xenoblade and if you're overlevelled you get less ap (points to upgrade your skill) and can easily curbstomp everything in general, it's not fun.
>>
>>741667172
Just play on Switch with detached joycons?
>>
>>741667073
Wrong. Genesis takes place inside a hollow Earth pierced by a Philadelphia class ship. Halfway through the game, the party will travel up through the remains of the ship and find themselves on the surface of the world, which will be a second world map to explore, similar to getting to the Mechonis in Xenoblade 1, but even more fleshed out.
>>
>>741667502
lame and gay it's a space colony and there will be mechs again and there will be a culture shock moment with sci fi and people in suits and space cruisers etc. Hollow earth is plebshit dumb.
>>
>>741666917
I meant art-direction wise because the characters were designed by Kunihiko but I think nearly all of the party member designs are great. Especially in DE but I think the original models are more or less fine.

Also, Mira is still currently visually unmatched.
