I don't want to sound like a doomer and I know YouTube views doesn't equate possible sales, but Why is Genesis not getting much higher viewers? XDE got lots of views. Would it have been better if they just called it Xenoblade 4?

The characters look more anime than ever (their clothes are flat and don't even look made of realistic material anymore) the plot and setting unironically look like typical Japanese isekai, and people clearly don't care about the "Xenoblade but in an anime school" concept which is why so many people are fantasizing about it getting nuked by the end of chapter 1

This is American ranking only. In JP it's actually in 10th place. It's pretty obvious this reveal trailer didn't land with audiences.
The next trailier, which is hopefully a proper reveal, has a lot of heavy lifting to do.
>>
>>570558702
People had been asking for X rerelease for years. Genesis is a new thing. I think it is better to compare it to XB2 or XB3 numbers.
XB2 reveal trailer after a week had a bit over a million views.
XB3 announcement trailer had 700k after a week.

I can give you some reasons to why this is.
1. Xenoblade hype has died down a bit. XBX DE ending was kind of ass, XB3 while received well, is the third installment of a game series and did poorly in comparison to XB2. But sales tells that XB2 helped retain momentum considering XB1DE and XB3 did about as well.
2. Most people just watch the direct and then go to their respective favorite youtuber to watch the analysis and such these days.
3. The trailer doesn't really show us much in comparison to XB2. XB2 was a dramatic shift in both graphics and style in comparison to 1 and X. Genesis doesn't really break new grounds for now. And in comparison to XB3 trailer that showed us a huge conflict and war between two sides, after playing XB1 and XB2 that had neither, it piqued peoples interest. And I think at least in the west, people are kind of tired of the school setting.

In general I think the genesis trailer is kind of bad showcasing what the game will be about. If it does present it well, I think the game might be kind of boring. It doesn't showcase anything that would make you super interested. I think it will be like Xenoblade 1, which didn't stick out much until you played it. If you put it like this: if I had never played Xenoblade before and you told me it was a new installment of 'Tales of' series or a FE Three Houses spinoff, I would believe you.

Xenoblade would gain sooo much more if it was at least on PC. Nintendo are fucking cowards, and exclusives are a cancer to gaming

This is what gets me. Apparently Takahashi's idea of "betraying everyone's expectations in a good way" was to create the platonic ideal of the generic JRPG. Like this honestly looks a more boring Metaphor and I thought that game was boring and overrated and the only reason people played it was persona but with a fantasy gimmick.
The soundtrack too, apparently making something 'completely different' actually meant keeping the exact same composers but firing the three best ones because he was butthurt that people liked tracks like counterattack and the weight of life.
I'll be honest the more I sit on it the more I'm not liking this game. It reeks of bored and tired Japanese director approaching old age.

I'm sure it will have a huge plot twist like the other games, but it does look really... plain for now.
We're barely heard anything from the soundtrack yet. Even in XB2 it used music that wasn't even in the game except for Elysium in the blue sky. I think it is the same deal with Genesis. I think what will really tell us if it will be a great soundtrack or not is when we here the new unique monster theme. You just know unique monsters will be back.

What relation does that have in regards to its sales compared to XB2?

This tired talking is like when Metaphor did 1mil on release day and then limped along to 2mil in a year if people said, "Oh, P5 sold 3.2 million in 7 years, Metaphor is a failure in comparison."
Of course Persona games have a far wider general audience appeal

>What relation does that have in regards to its sales compared to XB2?
Sort of like Engagies in Fire Emblem, people were constantly bragging prerelease about how 3 would crush 2 in sales because it was so serious and mature and not an embarrassing game for otakus so when that didn't happen of course people were going to point it out.
Anyway, yes, 3 sold less than 2, and it's not just because 2 had a headstart.
After an explosive start of 1.73 million copies sold in its first quarter, 3 sold 50k copies globally by its third quarter. In this same quarter 2 sold like 30k despite already being over half a decade old by this point while 3 didn't even have a full year under its belt. As of the last official update 3 still hasn't officially sold 2 million copies, though realistically it must be just slightly over it by now. This all means 3 sold mostly to people who were already Xenoblade fans and failed to attract new people.
We largely don't know sales after that point but even in the extremely unrealistic scenario that 2 stopped selling completely and 3 maintained a baseline of 50k instead of falling further, it would still take several years for it to catch up.

It really wasn't. After the intro they basically forget about them being raised in war and they become regular JRPG trope characters. The leader, the girlfriend, the tomboy, the buff guy, the nerd etc. They only remember it when they need to do another sad "dead friend/mentor" sidequest.

>>570568857
It's not "niche" per se. Just not a worldwide phenomenon that goes into the tens of millions in sales. It's like Fire Emblem. It's not super niche either anymore, not super mainstream either, but a decent amount of people know the name.

I hope we get some kind of follow up to her game. The newer ending of X with Mira's destruction was kinda ass, but I just wanna know where she ended up for sure beyond just speculation of Gears/Saga connections.
>>
>>570568857
It just means that Xfags were always a loud minority and that X is the black sheep for a reason. The strengths it has fail to compensate its faults when it comes to being appealing to customers.
For example if you are a casual Xenoblade fan but the reason you like it is because you enjoy its solid main narrative that means X is already out of the question for you and no amount of people bragging over the open world is going to change that.

X's strengths as an open world game dont matter when most people who play open world games don't even play them right in the first place (teleport everywhere, checklist mentality and guide open on the side to beeline to key things, no sense of trying to actually explore or take in the world). The fact Zelda got so popular for making an open world where the fucking subhuman players of today can skip literally all critical thinking and navigation and dealing with scenarios by just going straight as the crow flies over all terrain and obstacles speaks volumes about how open world games are treated.
And as a JRPG its weak because its main story is complete ass, so the main thing Xenoblade is known for is its weakest element.
>>
>>570569865
>I believe it will did well
saar
>>
>>570569865
Genesis will probably do better with a really solid trailer and also having either Koizumi or Takahashi come up in front of everyone and stare at the camera and say: "There is no Malos, there is no Trinity Processor, there are no characters from the other games, you do not have to play those games this is designed as your fresh entry point stop listening to people on twitter."
>>
>>570569865
Yeah metrics can be deceptive. X had high metrics because it was randomly dropped by Nintendo during a time when there was a dearth of Nintendo news, so naturally a lot of people checked it out even if they didn't particularly care that much.
By contrast, this was one of the most watched live directs ever, so people are tuning a lot less for each individual announcement. Outside of Ocarina remake no individual game trailer is particularly high views.

It's funny how I look forward to XB2 and XB3 for different reasons in terms of the performance boost.
I think XB2 will gain the most with higher resolution, so that's what I'm looking forward there.
But in terms of XB3, it's the framerate boost since I think the game already looked good enough as it is.

I know what you mean, and I don't disagree. But I keep being hopeful since I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the xenoblade games up to now. So I don't think Genesis will fail me on that part. I might be disappointed in some aspects, but we'll see. Given there has been complaints on every release since XBX, so criticism isn't something new when a trailer drops vs playing it.

Xenoblade 1 only really benefits from the scooters because the game was pretty famously oversized. Like if you play 2 or 3 and go back to 1 you feel like every environment is at least 2x the size it should be for reasonable navigation. Sure you wont move as fast in 2 or 3 but you'll still get to your destination in plenty of time due to the overall smaller / denser environments.
Genesis seems to have a notably large world as well and also has mounts, so it just comes down to map size vs character speed moreso than just one factor.

>>570571529
It also happened with the second X trailer when the name was revaled as a"Xenoblade Chronicles X", the initial "X" teaser had no voices at all.

>>570571529
Yes, that's something I've mentioned before. But I do think XB2 trailer was more pleasing to the eye than Genesis does. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to the game. But I guess getting old and less time to play games makes me a bit more grumpy when the trailer doesn't hype me up as much as I'd like to.

it's mostly just better in terms of character outfit textures, the environments in genesis look much better outside of their fucked up LoD outlines. if they added things like cloth patterns to the outfits in Genesis then the characters would look about as good too.

I'm just gonna say it. Fiora getting her human body back was a bitch ass cop out, and I fucking HATE it. She was content with being a cyborg, and it was a plot point tied in with the themes of prejudice. Fiora going back to being a homs fucks up the entire point of the subplot about tolerance. God fucking dammit.

i do wonder if the textures might just be unfinished. you can see normal maps in place for details on blueyabi's sleeves that aren't reflected in the diffuse map, in addition to the much higher detail trim texture on a part of her outfit that appears to be a different materiel. a lot of the character outfits they've shown have something like that, Eleanor's outfit also has trim details that are much higher detail but are another different materiel.

>>
>>570575217
also you can contrast this with not xord here, whose model looks like it's finalized. you can see blemishes on the metallic surfaces, nice reflective maps. even the cloth parts look like they have more diffuse detail than the PC outfits. and this is an enemy boss character, which I think typically had maybe 1/2 the texture resolution of the PCs in 3.
you can see something vaguely similar to elf boy in the outfit he's on while he's riding the dragon. you can't see if there's any fine detail but the whole thing is just significantly better shaded and more detailed.

they'll probably make the ikemen villain someone Eleanor can sympathize with, causing her to delude herself into thinking she can fix or save him (typical shojo trope). Then he'll become possessive of Eleanor, creating some kind of rivalry with Cain.
they will not put a rape scene, guys

>>570575048
It wasn't magic. It was foreshadowed by Linada that it should be possible to regenerate her body from a genetic sample, but that the Machina currently lack the technology. It's implied in the game that they develop the technology during the ending timeskip.

A short story in the Monado Archives book instead reveals that the High Entia have the technology. The crashed transport outside Colony 9 where they get Ether Cylinders is actually a medical ship, and Melia is able to get Fiora in there to do exactly what Linada proposed.

I think Xenoblade Warriors would be cool, but I also don't want it because they would add some cool lore that most likely wouldn't become canon due to it being a spinoff game. But it's not something completely unrealistic now that they stated that Xenoblade is part of a multiverse.

He's right though, the average Xenoblade 2 fan is either obsessed with Rex or is obsessed with Nia. This is because you have to be retarded to actually like 2 outside of its goonbait designs or music.

Did you genuinely enjoy the Moebius and Z compared to Zanza and Malos/Amalthus? Genuine question because if you did I'm curious to know what you liked about them when it's not a super popular opinion. Don't assume I'm trying to shit post.

Base story wise anon. There were many people that weren't too crazy about where the story went and how it combined the worlds. You often heard the story peaked in the who prison and execution segment. Z isn't looked to on fondly compared to the likes of Zanza or Malos. When it came to FR, in terms of characters many seem to prefer Matthew over Noah as a lead. The story of 3 isn't often as praised as 1 or 2. Most of the shit posting around X2 is "anime humor" shit or making fun of coomers rather than story.

I wouldn't consider cutting the shoulder in Xeno 1 enough for it to not be considered "complete", if anything its better for the pacing as that game was already pushing it in length.
But then again thats a 16 year old game so maybe saying: "the series hasnt had a complete game in 16 years" is valid in its own sense.
>>
>>570593958
You didn't say 2's villains are better than 3's. That would be uncontroversial. You claimed 2 was received well in general, while 3 was mixed, and then later clarified that you meant the story, which is still wrong. 3's story got more praise out of the larger population than 2's did.

As for villains in particular, you're treating the fact that everyone loved 2's as if that mean's 3's were particularly bad. The reality is that Luxaar was the worst main villain in the franchise by far, and now that he's been superseded by Void, the only reason Zanza doesn't hold that title is because the Fog King isn't even a character at all.

Mechonis Core is the only interesting thing going on with Zanza. His sole character trait is megalomania, and even Alvis's explanation of his history after he's dead is just clarification that he would eventually die if he didn't do what he did.

The sentiment that Matthew is a better protagonist than Noah was not widespread in the slightest. The sentiment that Rex was a godawful protagonist and anyone else would have been better seemed like the majority opinion, until 3 came out and everyone decided he's a cool gigachad harem fucker who breeds women just like me and is giga based.
>>
>>570597261
Post the results of your investigation
>>
>>570596978
Zanza is the antagonist of 1 but I feel like he serves more as a final boss than anything. For most of the game Egil is the main antagonist and he's, for being a pretty simple: "I need to get my revenge" type antagonist, one of the more compelling xeno main antags (I say this feeling like most of them arent particularly good, Malos is funny but I played through 2 basically not even really feeling like I knew who the main villain even was).
Moebius do fucking suck ass though. Positioning them maybe more as what they are (essentially a council of vampires), would probably have let them be cooler than making them goofy nonentities.
I do think people who think 2 was more well received are huffing copium though. It sold better, its more popular, but basically anyone would say 3 had the better story because no matter how ass those last 2 chapters are, the average person cares more about the character drama stuff than the mystery boxes and big lore reveals that hardcore Xenoblade fans are looking for. And 2 delivers on these much more despite the first 70% of the game being complete ass story wise.
>>
>>570595663
While I agree the story could have been better and tied better with the first 2 games, 3 stories still have lots of great moments. Vandham's sending, the first time you hear the weight of life, the cast seeing a baby and seeing what life lies outside of war, Noah and N's final moment, the cast interacting with one another. Many consider the cast for 3 to be easily the best in the series, and while some argue which has the better gameplay, 3 is still great to play and the sidequests are the best of the numbered games. As far as FR is concerned, I just didn't like it, yes this is an unpopular opinion but I truly believe FR absolutely failed to augment the base game story in similar way to how Torna augmented 2's. I like Matthew but in no way he is a better character than Noah. Nikol and Glimmer are easily the blandest characters in the entire series with them just copying their parents character, unlike Mio or Ashera who were their own character. I said that 3 could have tied to 1 and 2 much better, but FR was absolutely the wrong way to go about it because it relied too much on fanservice that it forgot to write good story, characters, and be a nice companion piece to Xenoblade 3.
>>
The worst one could say about Noah was that he was a bit boring. He was definitely a bit more reserved and his other self kinda showed what an unhinged version of him would be like. I don't mind him, but I did prefer Mio as a character.
>>
>>570598171
Honestly I wish the game shown Noah being unhinged a little. Closest thing we got was the jail scene where Lanz had to stop Noah from hurting himself.

The response to pic related is a fantastic media literacy test. It's the first part of an explanation about why multiple of Noah's friends are Moebius, but if you can't absorb information that isn't spoonfed to you in simplified English on at least three occasions with no need for any kind of basic deduction, then it sounds like the only reason Moebius does anything.
>>
>>570598171
Noah's little speech to N at their final battle just didn't work for me. He tells N that his friends are so important and they're the only reason why he was able to accomplish what he did. But it never really seemed like he cared about the group that much, aside from Mio obviously.
>>
>>570597640
The problem with 3's story isnt that it doesnt tie the the first 2 games more. After all, that's the DLCs job, the core game needs to be able to appeal to people playing the series for the first time.
3s story sucks because, while the moments you listed are great, its fucked up in terms of lore and shit.
It sets up Noah's sword as some great mystery at the very start of the game, never capitalizes on it. Gives N a mysterious sword as well, never really explains it or capitalizes on it, never explains what the power of Ouroboros is or where it comes from, how Moebius would transform, none of it.
You get all of these things that you expect will be big plot devices that will come together in some grand reveal at the end. But all the game has is Nia coming out and hand-waving it all, saying its all made up bullshit that doesnt matter.

Basically the game has nothing BUT these sorta character moments and the characters learning what it means to truly be alive and human and learning feelings and all that. Which is compelling enough stuff, but by the end of chapter 5 thats all over and done with and all your left with is what is usually the moment in a Xenoblade game where they start hitting you with the exciting lore drops, but instead you get essentially some forced sidequests to do regarding Noah and Mio's pasts that dont add anything to either of them as a character and just waste time, a lazy fetch quest, a repetitive dungeon, and then the game is over and nothing new or interesting has been revealed about the world, only that none of it mattered and we are all suckers for trying to derive some meaning from all these mysteries in the same way one would do in every other game in the series.

Its because Mechonis gets destroyed not too long after you arrive there, it would be silly to put a bunch of effort into an area that exists for a few story scenes and then goes caput. Better to put that effort into the area people will actually be going to for sidequests and high level named monsters.

That's not what he said at all. He just said it's the circumstances of their lives that made Noah and N so different.

Most of what motivates N during 3's story is a compulsive need to prove, mostly to himself, that he wasn't wrong to give up hope, destroy the City, and become Moebius. Part of that is trying to establish that anyone else in a similar situation would do the same, so he keeps trying to antagonize people until they give up. Attempting to do that to Melia is the only reason Ouroboros makes it to Keves Castle, and attempting to do that to Noah is the reason he's making the baffling decision to publicly execute Mio for "entertainment."

The problem is it doesn't work. Melia takes the opportunity to save Ouroboros instead, and Noah accepts Mio's death and resolves to keep fighting anyway, leading ultimately to Mio living while N loses M. He won't listen to anyone's words because they keep trying to tell him he was wrong, and he can't accept that.

Noah gets through to him by saying that in N's exact circumstances, he would have done the same thing. He empathizes with N's choice, and says the only reason they're different is that their circumstances were not the same. All the life experiences they had, and the people they met along the way, made them different. It's not some "power of friendship" thing, it's just directly recognizing that they are literally the same person apart from how they got there.
>>
>>570598385
Same. If we could more clearly see how Noah could easily become a monster like N, the entire story would've worked a lot better.
>>
So what do we predict Eleanor's sword upgrade/transformation going to be? Shulk got his at the very end of the game, Rex got his upgrade (and new outfit) after saving Pyra, and Noah gets Lucky 7. Our qt Elf WILL get one right?
>>
>>570599943
>That's not what he said at all
It is. The camera literally cuts to each of the party members while he talks about it.
>It's not some "power of friendship" thing
I didn't say it was. It just doesn't feel like the writers earned that moment for Noah, because he clearly does not care that much for anyone in the party except for Mio.
>>
>>570600365
It's not. He's listing the people he's met that shaped his life in a way that was different from N, and those are the people in the room with him at the time. He literally includes N in that list. He's not saying "his friends are so important and they're the only reason why he was able to accomplish what he did" when he's including N.

Literally just existing in his life at all in a way that they didn't for N.

But here's a fun fact: all 15 possible pairs of main party members gets at least one one-on-one bonding moment at some point during the main story. None of the other games do that. So even though Noah's bond with them is categorically not the point, he does in fact have moments to establish his relationship with the entire party.

Fiora is absent for like 50% of the game, so no, your argument is retarded

Wild Ride, as I still call him out of habbit, might be one of the most disappointing characters in recent memory because I still retain the opinion that he has one of the absolute strongest introductions of a any xeno character in a long time. His first appearance is so successfully threatening, his voice is great, and so is his design. But the further you go it just falls apart, especially at the very end. And when people say its because he's just a worse mumkhar, they're even more correct than they may initially realise.
This design in pic related is LITERALLY D and J. Two characters. And in that same vein the reason he's mumkhar but worse is because they took what made up mumkhar and split it across into two characters... which of course just results in two shallower characters.
All the associated character visuals (claws) of mumkhar as well as his aggro and charisma/dialogue got funnelled into D, while the aspect of being a character related to the parties past who has betrayed them due to inferiorty issues got transferred to J. These are two half characters that don't make up a whole.
Just a bad idea all around really.
Still makes me sad because I really do love the design and that first scene and fight, I would go as far as to say I think its an immaculate opening.
>>
>>570598743
The chapter 5 thing hits too hard. Mio's homecoming made me shiver. It was like I was experiencing something truly great. The thought of it being only "the beginning of the end" had me tearing up. Only for me to then go find Nia, have her fake die for no reason almost like a joke and then bombarding me with random stuff about asspull space orb in a powerpoint presentation. Left a terrible taste in my mouth. I have yet to replay it.

>The strengths of the game are the characters

sure
i just added some subdivided planes and adjusted the geometry to roughly match Mio's body under her shirt, around her bust and her band. they both took some guessing but this is what i came up with while trying to compensate for how thick her camisole is
https://files.catbox.moe/vr73nf.jpg
the measurements wind up being around 24.9 inches around her bust and 20.8 inches around the band. but with the margin of error it is possible she's a larger C.
the proportions on her swimsuit are also different, her torso is a lot thicker with that outfit for whatever reason. she's probably solidly a C cup in that one

>>
>>570601294
Also I don't usually see people mention this but an area where Moebius (outside of N) fall completely flat is that all of them fail at feeling like a threat. This seem like such an obvious fucking thing, that villains should feel like a threat but it's like they screwed it up somehow.
D and K kinda feel like a threat at the beginning when the party has no clue what's going on but after that all moebius memberS are essentially fodder into the meat grinder. The game also tries to trick you into thinking D is still a badass by his appearance encounter but haha don't you worry because he undergoes a complete humiliation ritual in the same encounter just so you never have to take him seriously again.
N isn't the best villain just because he's the most compelling character but also because he's the most effective of them all period. When you finally face him it's like "wow one of these chumps can actually back up his big talk! The party is actually in danger FOR ONCE"

Xenoblade 3 is one of those things that feels worse on replays because all of these elements that feel like their building up to something lose a lot of meaning when you know none of them are and the only important moments are the party learning about the human experience and growing. So a bunch of the game that DIDNT feel like filler on a first playthrough suddenly is.

Of all the things you could criticize about 2 this always felt the most forced by far.

Its impressive that not a single thing you just said was correct. I'm not american or fat, nor did I say (or think) every dark skinned character was black. Go ahead and quote me saying the word black even once in this entire discussion (before this post of course) you colostomy bag of a retard.
I've said dark skinned this whole time yet you've been shadow boxing something else entirely.

Its an issue of just not having a major landscape hook, the world is closer to X but without any of the alien elements or the idea of being a seamless world with pilotable mechs or anything to justify it.
Xenoblade 1 takes place on the bodies of two super huge dead gods
Xenoblade 2 takes place on and inside giant living creatures.
Xenoblade 3 has.... ???
Xenoblade G's world is the inside of a giant sphere and the rest of the world is visible in the sky of other areas.

Bro, just open the map. In fact, the very first 3 areas let you see the border of the world. You are literally going into circle.

Kinda sounds like you were dumb enough to miss the point since you've been arguing for 30 minutes about something you made up in your head that I never once said. Hope that was time well spent faggot.
Maybe if you tried slowly reading what you replied to instead of seething into a frothing rage over the looming shadows you yourself cast you wouldn't embarrass yourself this bad.
Its not the racism that bothers me, its the flagrant stupidity.
While we're here. I will give my actual opinion so you don't need to invent one.
I suspect emerelda is modelled vaguely after lalah sune, due to the prominence of gundam inspiration in this series and the influence of the character amongst older japanese creatives

it's basically the difference between the circumference of a woman's torso at the fullest extent of her breasts vs just beneath them. that's why you have something like a 28 D vs a 32 D is that a D is just a 4 inch difference between the two regardless of the circumferences involved. the smaller the numbers the comparatively larger the cup size. a lot of the cast of 3 are basically impossibly stacked by real world standards.

>>570613193
I don't get how the sky works in general. The world is seemingly inverted yet there's still a night sky?
I'd get it if it was just the suns floating in the center but there's also obviously stars beyond that
>>
I'm not insecure or worried about the initial reception to Genesis being lukewarm. Anyone who thinks that the focus on the academy in the trailer is indicative of the game's quality is acting like a newfag to Xenoblade.
With the exception of 1, because the premise is genuinely original, and X, because they didn't show any of the story until later trailers, all of them since 2 are generic and bland in their first trailers.
Once the elation over it being a numbered sequel wore off, people called 2 generic and too animuuu with the cat-girls and cringe VA with the cloud sea being the only interesting hook. 3, got raked for being a generic crossover that reeked of cheap fanservice, and seemed to soil the happy endings of 1&2.
>>570567139
>But Metaphor was a failure. Sega outright said it fell short of their expectations.
Really puts in perspective all this pointless squabbling on sales and which Xenoblade resonated more with audiences. We should be grateful Monolithsoft is given a blank check to make their games.
Because even a jrpg juggernaut like Persona could get dunked on by a new IP like Expedition 33 and get told to get to the back of the bus, since at the end of the day, if you're not FF, you're still otaku weebshit.

The stars are just anima, the sixth sun is also anima, at sunrise it's bright and white, during the sunset it's red, then it explodes into anima at night and that's how we have stars.

Decided to check if this general was back after the Genesis announcement and I already want to kill myself reading some of this shit.

Anyways, I am in agreement that it's a bad trailer. It speaks exclusively to Xeno fans and even then it doesn't seem like everyone is happy. Most Xeno trailers are bad, so this is to be expected, but I think it's a pretty big blight on the series. Whoever is the marketing director for these games needs to be fired and replaced with whoever does the Zelda trailers.

I'm personally very excited. I wanted the next title to be functionally unrecognizable as Xenoblade on first glance and I (mostly) got what I wanted. I hope the next trailer + the switch 2 editions can get more people on board, but I'm not holding my breath.

Also sex with blue girl.

I cannot think of a man I would want directing trailers less than Takahashi, Christ.

These games aren't that hard to market, plenty of JRPGs are able to pull it off. Fuck, just look at the recent Persona 4 Revival trailer; they somehow managed to make a game where you spend 70% of it clicking through dialogue look more exciting than anything we saw from Genesis.

Most people aren't incensed by out-of-context dialogue and exposition. Show some cool wide shots and action scenes, pair it with some high energy music and you're set.

I went back frame by frame through the trailer and am not seeing the parallax you're referring to. Can you point to a specific area I should look at?
>>
>>570623735
It's more subtle than I remembered, but it's easiest to see in the upper left of the scene with the fire, and bottom right of the scene with the anima going up to form the large sun at the end

it's also worth noting the stars are the same color as the Anima sent up to the empty space in the night sky

>>570613193
One thing for anyone doubting that its an enclosed world and is a bowl or something, you can see terrain behind the suns in the trailer here if you look carefully enough. So the suns DO seem to be "in the middle" of the sphere.

We can all agree beyond any doubt that Anshar is a sphere, right? And that anybody suggesting other shapes - Ring, bowl, chain link, hemisphere - Is just low IQ?

It has to be a sphere, there's camera shots where the camera points straight up and wraps around, and shows viewing angles of zones which are seen from other viewing angles from other shots which show more above even them. I've also tried stitching together some shots and projecting them onto a sphere in blender (while admittedly having to make assumptions on camera FoV in trailer shots) and things wouldnt make in any other context except being a sphere (though could be more like an oval or something which is within the error rate for my FoV assumptions, but a bowl or only semi-curved surface that doesn't wrap all the way into the sky is impossible.)

Damn, she's strapped, in terms of weaponry.
>>
>>570629161
That's the most basic way of putting it yeah, although it may be a sphere rather than a cylinder (hard to confirm right now).
In EVERY shot in the trailer where you can see the sky, you can see more of the world. Any time the sky looks blue, its just the ocean, you can see the water texture on it and occasional island.
>>
>>570628316
The problem is that's not how centrifugal force works. How is there gravity if it's not a cylinder?
>>
>>570629703
Who says the world has to have gravity? If everything is made of "anima" perhaps there is some force that attracts anima to the outside of the sphere, or repels anime from the center.
>>
>>570628248
>>570628472
OH GOD I'M GONNA-
>>
>>570629703
Should be noted as well that even in this shot from the trailer (which I didnt project onto my sphere due to not being able to confirm the location of this scene, and not match any background scenery with other shots), we can see the terrain curving in both directions, the objects on the left appear to be pointing slightly right, and the ones on the right slightly left (due to the perspective).
Some have claimed the grade seems too steep here for it to be a sphere and assumed a cube or something, but if you look behind the cloud on the right side you can see a landmass thats only slightly curved. The "steepness" is probably just an illusion created by how big the ocean is and the lack of proper reference points.
>>

It's not hard scifi

It's crazy to think Monolith felt like a damn Ford Factory during the Switch. 2, Torna, 1DE, 3, FR, XDE, heck vanilla X only came out 2 years before 2. But if you really think about it, they only released 2 new games. Now that we have ran out of ports and definitive editions, it's gonna feel a lot slower.
Honestly I want them to stop making the DLCs. They're not bad (outside of the added chapters from the ports), but it cannot be healthy for the development of the games to have entire new gameplay and areas for a small game most people aren't going to play. Just add that shit in the main game man.

Gormott just has the neck of the, uhm, horse deer thing slightly moving. The titans are too tiny to feel anywhere near like the first game. Plus, all titans are just 1 area compared to the journey of slowly climbing the Bionis and the falling to the Mechonis' feet so that you can climb it too. Argentum and Temperentia might as well not even be titans. And Uraya and Tantal are both just covered bowls.

You're comparing what are presumably still school grounds (the ardun-lookalike when it was about to attack Purple Miyabi had on the same spiked control collar as the ones in the knights vs Romans scene in the trailer) to untamed wilderness? Also, they probably dial down the enemies to focus more on the increased scope and fidelity

Like what's more logical? That a military academy would have their own private territory intended for combat exercises or that Monolithsoft can't render any monsters on hardware that is significantly more powerful than the previous systems they're familiar with.

You act like she just started saying shit unprompted. There's a faction of the fanbase that is CONSTANTLY seeking validation for the harem thing, and enough of them came to her that she felt the need to respond, and did so honestly. She had an image of Pyra and Mythra based on some incredibly poor directing that required her to make up her own character.

I'm just glad they fixed the poor communication between the developers and localizers for 3. Calling a big cup "Aegis" was probably the last straw on that.

I mean I agree that it would be much more kino. But he exactly said this. Otherwise authors wouldn't be surprised.
I know that English translation said "important PEOPLE inside" but I don't remember what was said in Japanese.
And he also said this
>Since there is great interest in it, I will also translate what follows the quote above: You had to collect ‘Origin Shards’ at the end of the main story, right? There’s nothing concretely decided in terms of who is what shard, but you never know, maybe those shards could be Reyn. In broad strokes, if you think about it in this way, it shouldn’t be wrong.
Why would he say Ryan if he is inside of L7 inside of Takahashi's mind?
>>570676002
Yep. But he also said he can't get into details for now
>What’s inside the Sword of the End that N holds, that would be Logos. I mean, it’s Malos, but Malos, for the time being, is dead, or has disappeared. As to why Malos is there, I’m sorry about this, but I can’t answer that at this point. But what N is holding there, that is Malos himself.

it took me years to realize that N wasn't exactly any of the Noahs that got defeated and then being offered to become a moebius, apparently Z broke the rules (because Noah had already died of "old age") and pulled Noah's data to help him defeat Alpha since Noah had the sword of the end aka malos
>>
So these Switch 2 updates have been vibecoded by outsourced workers right? There are so many bugs in Xenoblade 1, the new quest is broken, H2Hs break if you interact with them while riding, the game crashes if you unequip certain stuff while boosting, races dont show up once you finish the quest for some people, the framerate is constantly dipping, the game uses a shitty DLSS filter instead of native resolution increase. Monolithsoft wouldnt ship an update like this
>>
>>570681614
>apparently Z broke the rules
it wasn't Z, since even he can't do that. It was Noah (or Malos being bound to Noah) that made him come back
>Monolithsoft wouldnt ship an update like this
Xenoblade is their passion project, while their real job is helping on other projects, so they probably don't have time. Also XBG releases soon
>>
>Fiora broke Malos
Metsubros...
>>
>>570682093
No, it was literally Z, the guy can do that, because that doesn't explain Mio also coming back to also get transformed into Moebius by Z
"Z seized Origin in its entirety. Controlling Origin... means controlling the world. And having shackled it, he can bend it to his will. Life and death... are his playthings." -Nia
"There must have been an agreement with Moebius, clauses and stipulations. Someone very important to N must have been made Moebius as well." -A, future redeemed

>>570678264
>i really do think the ressurrected one should just be Pneuma, instead of Pyra and Mythra split apart
XC2 spends practically its entire runtime hammering in that Pyra and Mythra are two completely different individuals and not one just person split into two, this would be a horrible ending

"Lucky Seven is Fiora" is the best argument I've ever seen for Death of the Author taking priority over Word of God.

Takahashi saying this catches the other interviewees off guard. He doesn't seem to have told anyone this during development. And that means it wasn't written as if that were the case. There's hints of it, like Riku saying people are in Lucky Seven, but he does word it as multiple people, and also says the same of Shulk's sword.

It was also supposed to be an explanation of the sword's power, since Fiora was a Monado wielder, but the game already explained that Melia is the source of its power. And Riki seems to be under the impression that he and six other Nopon forged it out of Origin shards, not that it was simply the form Shulk's wife took in Aionios.

Doesn't really matter if Takahashi originally planned for the sword to be Fiora. If he didn't tell anyone, then they didn't write the story in a way that allowed it.

It looks real but you should be skeptical of anyone saying that Cain is a main character because this slide refers to him as ヒーロー. That's the word that 3 used to refer to its NPC pseudo-party members in I think every language. It did not use Heroine, but you also would probably call Eleanor the main heroine if she's the main female lead in an ensemble cast with multiple leading female cast members.
For the previous games I've almost exclusively seen the main cast referred to in Japanese as something like main characters or main protagonists or playable characters.

Good morning /xgg/, pleasure that you fags are back. I'm still catching up on threads since the direct dropped.
It's a sheer coincidence that I booted up the numbered games about a week before the direct dropped and was just mucking around in postgame.
Out of all three games, 3 is the most tedious to build viable parties for. This is in part because there are double the characters to configure for...there also aren't a lot of "fun" configurations though.
>all nondps needs devotional necklace/emergency bandana
>signifies everywhere
>soulhackers for buffs
>everyone needs reaction arts
>(You) control the smash/burst class (I find Noah Swordfighter class to be the best choice for Smash damage)
I never felt railroaded in 1 or 2. With 2 particularly, you can make some very fun Full Burst builds centered around any blade in the game, providing you have the appropriate common blades with Orb Master/Slamdown.
So the return to what appears to be three-character parties in Genesis is welcome.

Matthew asked if the sword was made by his masterpon and who it is. And Riku said her name.
He didn't say anything about 7 legendary Nopon smiths to Matt.
He also said that the form of the ouroboros egg was made by the both queens
And we know that gauntlets were made by Nia.
Therefore I always assumed that both of them can manipulate an Origin metal to some degree.

You are a dunning kruger idiot. Why would a 3 exclusive term be relevant to a development design document for a different game. Why would you ever assume it's referring to the heroes from 3 and not just the actual Japanese words. Why would the word ヒロイン be used when 3 didn't and why would she be paired with the ヒーロー specifically in the same slide.
Here I'll translate the page for you:
>A ヒーロー (English: hero) refers to a hero and a male protagonist in myths or stories.
>In stories, when a woman is the protagonist, she is referred to as a ヒロイン. Also, even if she is not the protagonist, the female lover of the male protagonist may also be called a heroine (however, the male lover of the female protagonist is not called a hero).
This should be second nature knowledge to any anon who knows anything about Japanese media but modern 4chan is infested with dumb zoomers who are terrified of subs and third worlders.
And this fanbase specifically has horrid habit of coming up with the most outlandish explanations instead of sticking to Occam's Razor.

I'm an european med and Kain has the same skin tone as me, normally I'd assume he's supposed to be from the Roman country but those soldiers at the beginning were all lighter skinned so it likely doesn't mean anything

called it, the antagonist will be associated with Kishar.

in 3001 the monolith gets destroyed with a virus to free the humans and the Europeans (the normal ones, not the ones from Earth) from fate Most likely way to end Xenoblade if Nintendo doesn't keep milking it like the faggots they are.

Anon when it comes to women it's always the same shit, they don't necessarily dislike *thing* they dislike that men enjoy it
Women can rant about muh harems all they like but my last anime convention was full of sloots cosplaying the wives of the emperor from that apothecary anime

It's like how they always whine about offmodel fanart but almost every fanart of Cain so far has depicted him as taller than he actually is and with a wider torso to boot, but we won't hear a peep about the evilness of offmodel here.

why are so many of 2's fans obsessed with rex like this? nobody who likes 1 really gives a that much of shit about shulk and nobody who likes 3 really gives that much of a shit about noah, but so many 2fags will immediately start talking about how cool rex is or how strong rex is or how brave rex is or how great his character writing is and how they can't blame pyra, nia or mythra for wanting to fuck him.

Okay.

Why is everyone outside of this general obsessed with trying to connect Genesis with previous games? Can't people understand that the story is done?

Xenoblade Genesis description from Nintendo website:

"A new beginning for the Xenoblade series arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. Explore a vast fantasy world and master the power of Anima"

>master the power of Anima
definitely will be the gameplay gimmick

also seems like Genesis will be the new "Chronicles"

I think it's stupid to deny that this will somehow be connected to the other games on a mythological/lore level because this is still Xenoblade not Xenogenesis, but people want returning characters like Zanza or Mythra's kid which to me is retarded. If we get one returning character it's probably going to be Malos given what Takahashi said.
>>
>>570704772
It's not really reasonable to interpret "I'm not going to explain what happened to Malos right now" as "Malos will return in Avengers: Doomsday" either.
>>
>>570704772
>If we get one returning character it's probably going to be Malos given what Takahashi said.
assuming he is not just the blade quest in 2 and his quest explains how he got back, instead of being in genesis
>>
Realistically Malos will get explained in these Switch 2 updates
>>
I have Malos fatigue. And he appeared only in 1 game.

That's not what I said and I don't want this to happen. If anything I prefer something like >>570705065 >>570705137 instead of him being an active character in the plot of Genesis.
