lmao
which version of xenoblade 1 is the best? is wii okay?
>>741641943Isn't the Wii one infamous for being one of the fugliest games ever?
>>741641678Why is that funny? Why can zoomers not simply share information they find interesting without implying they cried laughing?
>>741641943Wii is OK but Definitive Edition has some really great quality of life improvements (especially regarding quest tracking), so I'd recommend playing that instead.
>>741642161melty unc
>>741641943never play remakes, remasters, or ports. the only version worth playing was the very first version that ever came out. any patches or "definitive edition" bullshit should be ignored.
>>741641678son im crine
>>741641678Small 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.
>>741642161It's funny because the chronological order is480p -> 240p -> 720p -> 2160pinstead 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.
>>741641678>4K 2160pLies, it's not native 4K, it's AI-upscaled 1080p.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36vfLfMnkk
>>741641943The 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. [Gecko]$xp 0.3C20A2C04 0000000848000009 3E9CCCCDC9828198 D981FFF86C978000 92E1FFFCC961FFF8 ED6B60287D8802A6 C18C0000ED6B0332 FD60581ED961FFF8 82E1FFFC60000000 00000000Note: 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:http://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html
>>741642970Where is the joke?
>>741642084Fuck are you talking about? It's one of the best looking Wii games.
>>741643324Doesn't the Switch 2 have built in AI upscaling to make games look higher resolution while still running smoothly? It at least works for Mario Kart World, the game is high enough quality that it can be disorienting at times since my TV isn't high grade enough to depict all the detail.
>>741641678>Tried playing 2 first>Got intense second hand embarrassment due to shit in the gameIs 1/3 any better about this?
>>741643408You know this is already in DE, right? They backported the feature from Xenoblade 2 where you get to decide how and when to allot sidequest XP.
>>741643467I swear I remember seeing screenshots with extremely low poly models and poorly textured brutish faces. Maybe it was just a meme or a lower setting though. The OP pic doesn't really look like what I saw.
>>741641943Switch 1 (pirate)
>>741641943the remastered OST is dogshit, just play the wii version
>>741643620The characters don't look good but the environments are amazing.
>>741643695Switch version has both OST and arranged dumbass.
>>741641678>nutendies have been rehashing the same game for the past 16 yearsgrim
>>741643564How is that my problem?
>>741641943Very clearly Switch 2.
>>741643564Neat, didn't know that. I might give it a shot next time I replay it.
>>741641678The N3DS version made immediately regret getting a 3ds, that shit looked like screen was full of vaseline, literally unplayable and gave you a headache. I would have returned the console and the game if i could.
>>741643856It is a sign of how beloved Nintendo is. Nintendo could just perpetually rerelease Mario Galaxy and I'm sure most would be satisfied.
>>741643909Because you don't need to do a bunch of manual retardation to half-ass a feature that's already in the modern version of the game, retard.Even if you're emulating it, just emulate the fucking Switch version. It's better.
>>741643427The New 3DS being 240p and the Switch being 720p.
>>7416440313D on the 3DS was funner if you were a kid at the time. Being able to randomly make things appear to bulge on the screen or even just hurt your eyes is peak juvenile entertainment. The thing was the most toylike console.
>>741643467Not a high bar.
>>741644224Even without 3d that game looked like shit, it was like staring at bloobs. 3ds simply could not handle it.
>>741641678>2160pyeah right
>>741643974Expert mode in the system menu.
>>741643474Switch 2 does and Xenoblade uses it, but Mario Kart World does not.
>>741642481What's wrong with ports you retard
>>741644519when was the last time a game was ported to another platform correctly and without mistakes or stuff fucked up.
>people are unironically shilling the Wii version (what some people call the “PC version”) What happened to people? Can’t your PC play all Switch games at 4K? Or has the “all remasters and remakes suck nigger dick” meme reached critical mass and now even DE is being cancelled?
>>7416447371) That's just one retard2) Switch emulation works 90% of the time, but it's still not perfect.
>>741641943I still think Wii is the best on Emu. 1 has so many fucking filler sidequests that you really don't need the XP level down unlike say in 3. The other reason I'd rec it is kind of stupid but the jump from 1 to 2's fidelity is half the charm I had with the latter.
>>741644983Dunno what this picture is showing besides the skindentation on Pyra's hips holy shit.
>>741641678>2160psure bud, now finish your choccy milk it's time to go play outside.
>>741644983A shame, it would be nice if there was a system that could play Switch games.
>>741641678what is funny about this?
>>741643620You might be thinking of handheld version of Xenoblade 2
>>741645689XBC2 had the best character designs. Other than the sexiness, they were distinct and fit in more alongside other Nintendo characters.
>4KI kek'd
>>741645945lol
>>741641943>>741641678OG for best looking charactersAnything else for better enviorments but worse characters models
>>741644737There have always been retards that act like the Wii version is better because they don't like how "anime" DE looks. It's the usual people that feel ashamed of enjoying a game that's literally a shounen anime/manga turned into a video game so they have to try and divorce in from anime as much as possible.
>>741647235>Use generic anime artstyle for the new models>Ruin every cutscene by not allowing them to show any emotionYeah...
>>741644737It can, true 4K + trannylation removed
>>741647402"Anime" style consistently looks more realistic and believable than the other stuff it is always compared to. I feel like people exaggerate the cartooniness of most stylized Japanese art of human characters. Sort of like how they also claim they all look the same when that is far from the truth. I'm not sure why so many still treat it so weirdly in modern day.
>>741647626>Anime" style consistently looks more realistic and believable than the other stuff it is always compared to.Are you retarded? Literally just look at the image you are replying to.
>>741643474>since my TV isn't high grade enough to depict all the detail.???the average nintenslop consumer
>>741641678SON IM CRINE WHY IS TS LIKE THAT
>>741641943depends on if you prefer a better artstyle (Wii) or high resolution and solid gameplay tweaks (DE)play it with japanese voices
>>741647402The anime faces are more expressive than the old blurry textures.
>>741650052Yeah except they literally don't show any emotion since they used the old rigs for that and didn't bother updating them for the new larger shittier models.So they literally arent.
>>741648551>people now hate the dubWas 4Kids and Toonami really that bad that it’s poisoned your relationship with your native language?
>>741650183>same rig, different texture>somehow it shows no emotion despite using the exact same toolsThe “all remakes and remasters suck a nigger dick” movement needs to try harder.
>Another thread about the Wiifag seething
>>741650351
>>741645796At (real) 4K 60fps, yeahOh wait
>>741650351Nigger it's an entirely different face model. Do you not know the difference between a model and a texture? Literally tech illiterate.
>>741650501>Gaping, curbstomped jaw vs Realistic attentive expression
>>741650986
>>741650501an M-69!!!
>>741651078>>741650501>Characters can open mouth slightly>but not separate their teethgeez
>>7416435401/X/3 have way less "anime cringe" than 2. 2 was specifically made by Takahashi to give his own kids the same kind of experience he had growing up on anime like Mazinger and Galaxy Express 999
>>7416522023 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.
New 3DS port was certainly an experiment.
>>741651078Left: SoulRight: Soulless
>>741654065And yet it doesn't have a scene where a pervert Nopon who likes to dress his sex doll in maid costumes tries to explain the concept of "moe" or a 500 years old tsundere wakes up in a young boy's bed then proceeds to call him a pervert.
>>741642084The 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
>>741641678>cunny emojiWhy?
>>741642970That's not funny. Plenty of games have done that.
>>741641678Roflcopter! That is like sooo relatable and epic sauce funny xD
>>7416419433ds>=wii>>>>>>>switch2>switch
>>741641943Wii's fine but is riddled with QoL issues fixed in DE. Definitive edition is the best unless you really don't like the aesthetic changes with the character models. Theres also some missing effects but whatever
>>741654524Normal people use that emoji for actual normal purposes
>>741642161>zoomersOh shut the fuck up. You're 25 years old at maximum. People were writing lol/lmao at the most mundane things longer than you've been alive.If 4chan were a physical place I'd genuinely love to crush your windpipe.
>>741643408It never occurs to the xenocuck that instead of doing this you could just acknowledge that your jrpg has dogshit game design and play a superior jrpg instead.
>>741643408Or. you know, just turn Expert Mode on on Switch.
>>741647402>>741650501>>741651078>opening mouth equals "showing emotion"Autists trying to read facial expressions, man
>>741642308>>741642562skull skull skull flame flame
Reminder that Switch versions suck and if you prefer them you're a vantablack nigger
>>741655556>The NEW MODELS are BETTER>They can't even open their mouths>UHHH THATS GOOD ACTUALLY?
>>741655761Who are you quoting?
>>741641678I bought a New 3DS and Xenoblade Chronicles. Finished it in 85 hours and put them both in a drawer forever.I will not be taking any questions.
>>741641943Switch 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.
The switch DE version of XBC is probably the closest approximation as to what Takahashi originally envisioned xenogears to look like.
>>741655556You have to be the autistic one if you can't tell that in >>741647402 the 3ds and wii version are more expressive, regardless of the mouth being open or not.
>>741654917The greater use of it isn't actually really that different from the cunny use. Everyone has a Lolita complex on the inside, it is why even people who moralize over it sound like they are jerking off while doing so.
>>741655556I mean, yeah, an open mouth is a form of facial expression. Are you arguing the contrary?
Have you attualy tried to play XB2 on a Switch 2?It is shocking to how low rez and smeary it plays like.
>>741641678why did they make the minimap gayer for the switch
>>741656090The character rendering in XBC3 is so much better though.
What are these retards arguing about?They open their mouths all the time
>>741656158She looks like a fish gasping for air in a situation that doesn't call for that. Would you say that a person with down's is more emotional than normal people just because they have their moths open most of the time?>>741656310I'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.
>>741641943Don't listen to the "muh artstyle" retards, play the switch 1 or switch 2 if you want 60fps.
>>741656621It'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. You can write them off, they probably, sincerely think photorealism is better than the actual art direction monolithsoft uses.
>>741656621Some retard cherry-picking timing issues.
>when the number increaseMathematician joke. You wouldn't get it...
>>741656723Just play the Switch 2 version. You get more VO and the kart racing is actually kind of a great addition for a game that previously didn't have minigames.
>>741641678Fiora is so fucking sexy
>>741647235They changed the game's art style. I don't know why you're confused that this would irk people.
>>741657013They went from having no artstyle and just using models to improving upon it 1000x over by actually making it look like a moving, living anime series in a vdieo game medium. God the japanese are fantastic.
>>741656665Your 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.
>>741657093>having no artstyle and just using modelsWhat the hell do you mean?
>>741657174They 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.
>>741642481The old good new bad derangement syndrome
>>741657093>God the japanese are fantasticThere could be a worldwide apocalypse and I guarantee you the average Japanese would still have a high quality of life and arrive to work on time. They are very good at using what is available.
>>741657380I was thinking that the typical western dev team would probably whine and cry and say they need X more resources and funds and another 7 years of dev time to avoid crunch and it still wouldn't be fair enough to them.
>>741641678What's supposed to be funny? What about this is odd or unexpected?
>>741651078>>741647402Same vibe
>>741657662That monolithsoft still makes the magic happen even when constrained by the limitations of ninendo's hardware.
>>74165672360fps absolutely does not matter in a game like this you fucking insufferable faggot.
>>741657662>LMAOOOThe post is quite clear about what you're supposed to think, now laugh
>>741657752Impressive for sure. But funny?
>>741657485There 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.
>>741657140You're mistaking model limitations for actual emotions and how appropriate they are to the situation. You're trying to interpret the images with no context to suit your confirmation bias and then dismiss everything else a "nonsense", please at least play this game to get a clue what your three cherrypicked comparisons are even depicting in the first place.
>>741641678Omg So fu**ing hilarious LMAOOOOOOO crying emoji crying emoji why do the captcha images look like nipple rings and IUDs?
>Muh expressivenessThe 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%.
>>741657938Can't you even correctly read? switch 1 is written first.I bet you played the Dolphin version with 50 mods installed then play the purist by going around telling everyone to play the original game
>>741658713But she looks absolutely like a man on the right and I am attracted to men.
>>741658028How exactly is her facial expression "inappropriate"? And equating an open mouth to "gasping like a fish" is nonsense. >WOAH DUDE fish have their mouths open, and she has her mouth open, so she's like a fish! She also has her eyes open, and fish have their eyes open, this further proves she's like a fish! 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.
>>741655125you wouldn't do shit, unc.
>>741658848There's still a lot of hot men in the Switch version, but these ones are actually male.
Lighting in the """remaster""" looks worse.
>>741650232no one knows what the fuck 4kids and toonami are you psychotic millennial. japanese voices are objectively better 100% of the time
This is one of the most autistic threads I’ve seen
Bro dey deadass smeared the switch version in vaseline lmaaaaaaoooo im crine
>>741659274I don't care that this is your 4th day here bud.
Lmaaaaaao skull emoji
>>741659274I'm 99% sure people are just shitposting and being contrarian. No one in their right mind thinks the Wii version looks better. It's just like all the other remaster bad threads, like Resident Evil 4 or Silent Hill 2. No one really thinks the old versions from 20 years ago are better, but saying that you do gets a lot of replies, so that's how these threads go.
>>741644308Leave those 'tendies alone. They can't tell the difference.
>>741659075every time
>>741658938>that doesn't change the fact that this older model is more expressive than the newer model.In three situations with no context, and even that's debatable.>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.
>>741659584>would find it weird because most people dislike it too.kek not really. But please, you'll invite the "manime" normaflag subhuman shitposters with that kind of talk
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?
>>741659543I hate the new style and loved the old one so I'm gonna need you to go ahead and kill yourself in whatever way is most convenient and available to you, mmkay
>>741659543I 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.
I just wish the remake had more of this visual style.I don't like the generic tales of looking style they have now
>>741659830>Is he some kind of pervert freak?Yes. Look at his AI daughters.
>>741659994Modern 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.
>>741641678why go through all of this trouble when the fucking series as a whole is so fucking boring?
>>741657345I 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 >realer lookYeah, that's not a good thing. Glad we agreed takahashi and co corrected their past failings.
>>741660690I don't agree.
>>741660612Famously Xenoblade 1 never had any character concept art. The models came first, 2D assets came after and were based on the models.
>>741660721It's okay, we can't all have the correct opinions all of the time. You're forgiven.
>>741657345Imagine thinking this when the concept art is >>741660323 right fucking here you disingenuous gacha loving turbofaggot. Update your prescription and remove your spinal cord immediately
>>741660805literally made after the fact to match the models.
>>741660925okay, well it looks better.
>>741660925What 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
>>741657174The "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 othersYet 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.
>>741661005>>741661020see>>741661062or the other posts talking about the same thing. The wii version is basically xenoblade beta
>>741641678Art style ruined. SAO and its consequences have been disastrous to the human race
>>741641943wii is best version
>>741641678And emulation comparison? No one ever seems to do emulation comparison.
>>741641678is the switch 2 4k real 4k or fake
>>741641943I'm playing it on Wii now, 24 hours in and no problems.
>>741661190Thanks for admitting the kinosmiths art Monolith should have been credited for their unique design sensibilities and now their work is buried under this. Glad we could agree
>>741661323>>741661203God, kirito's character design is awesome. Carried even further by being Chadsuoka Yoshitsugu.
>>741660517You're fucking boring!
>>741661259There are more trannies and serial killers in the world than videogame emulators.
>>741661468Does he really think this?
>>741661602/v/ is a matsuoka board. Really 4chan as a whole is a matsuoka site.
>>741661468that looks like literally nothing
The first game had pretty lackluster designs character and gear wise. Chronicles didn't hit their stride until 2.
>>741641678tfw building a fleet of skells in Xenoblade X with full augments takes like a month of grinding...I just want to have mechs all based off of these chads...
>>741661540>somehow I need to make this about trannies
>>741641943The switch 2 edition is the best.
>>741661671Got me there, no taste to be found for ten thousand miles or else they'd clearly recognize peak
>>741661868looks like studio trigger with none of the oomph.
>>741661983still get annoyed by the amount of frame dips some maps have. Hopefully it gets patched or monolith keeps tinkering with it before 2 releases.
>>741662502They 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.
>>741661934It was a way of pointing out a small group. Thanks for exposing yourself as sensitive to the word tranny specifically though. Pretty interesting how posts like this have been appearing more and more as site quality lowers.
how much of that 4k60 is actually true
>>741662931It's 60fps for sure with some dips but I don't have a 4k tv so I dunno.
>>741662931Like 75%.
>>741662931the ui is rendered at 4k, rest loi lmao
>>741641943Yes.
>>741641678Just 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.
>SD>480pNah little buddy
>>741665218Right is 10x more expressive, my face actually connects with the right's like a human.
>>741665626It's fine, nobody remembers EDTV.
>>741665881you are unironically blind or baiting, look at the eyes
>>741665993The 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.
I liked playing it with the nunchuck so the Wii version is better
If only they had that Xenoblade 3 tech ready in time for DE.
>>741666186I wish the cutscenes in 3 were still played out live so hackers would've obtained the naked Eunie model by now. It has to exist on a USB somewhere where development happened.
>>741665993Yes the eyes on the left look fucking painted on. Because they are.
>>741661868>Chronicles didn't hit their stride until 2Nah, that was X. You're probably in the minority with that opinion outside of Pyra and Mythra
>>741666104>>741666698t. autists
>>741666773X 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.
>>741661259Emulators 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.
>>741666131When 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.
>>741641943If 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.
>>741667172Just play on Switch with detached joycons?
>>741667073Wrong. 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.
>>741667502lame 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.
>>741666917I 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.
>>741667172Except the switch1/2 let you do the same thing
>>741667737Battle bikinis or bust. Swimsuit dlc is practically a given for Japanese games and not sufficient.
>>741642562Matalo la creatura!
>>741667171there are texture mods for the original, probably not for the sequel and fuck does that look awful
>>741665881you're a nigger with no soul
>>741665881
>>741661259Those "emulator settings" make no goddamn sense
>>741654492I think a lot of them were technically 540p but there are plenty of 16:9 HD CRTs that accept 480p over component
>>741642161They spent two weeks indoors during covid and apparently that stunted their childhood development to the point of speaking gibberish
does xenoblade 2 emulate well yet?
>>741670053yea
>>741641943I don't trust the Wii one because my Wii froze and the disc reader broke while I was like 30 hours into the game. Really fucking sucked when it happened.
>>741670994which emulator? eden?
>>741641943Wii is ok, deffo better than 3DS but the Switch version has some very needed QoL improvements and is aesthetically much more in line with the rest of the series, the Wii version is infamous for how many corners they had to cut to get the open world working on the machine, Melia's model used up so many tris on the head wings that her ears legit are square jpegs.
>>741663364Nobody wants potato Fiora.
>>741654423Showa/Heisei and Reiwa anime/manga writing are distinctly different. That scene with Mythra is really early 2000s rom com shit while you can trace more Reiwa writing notes from Xeno3. It seems that you're under the incorrect impression that all anime is written the same way but they aren't. That is to say, all of the Xeno games are high on anime content, regardless of you agreeing or disagreeing.
>>741641678>4KDo broccoli hair kids really?
>>741672327While they still do some fun things, it does feel like Japanese got sort of infected by the same "seriousness" bug the rest of entertainment did. They used to write and put out a lot more outlandish and colorful stories. The concepts that do focus on the more goofy or absurd things just seem to be centered around a very narrow fetish or repetitive gag. A lot of the old stuff wasn't necessarily a lot more creative. But it felt more care free than modern writing. Every modern writer writes like they are a professional looking to appease critics. The ones that don't do this nowadays tend to put little to no effort into what they make. You can see this in the children's media too (compare an older popular thing like One Piece stylistically to some of the modern popular shonens). You can even see this in media mainly meant for otaku masturbation (Prisma Illya is a pretty good example). EVERYTHING has to dedicate part of itself to some serious plotline now. Of course, something like Xenoblade will always have a serious plotline. But you can sort of see how even the serious stuff has to be even more serious. It is a strange international shift that I can only assume comes from mass media making it a lot easier to hear of the stories of serious professionals and start thinking of yourself as one.
i still can't believe how blind 90% of /v/ is in that they actually prefer the "remastered" dogshit
>>741666186It had some nice moments.
>>741652202He failed. Toeizinger was way less cringe than this shit
>>741673220the lack of lighting in both remasters irks me so bad, I don't get how anyone can ignore it
>>741671534yeah
>>741673220It's really good.
