reminder that the Japanese term used to refer to main characters is actually 主人公 regardless of gender and not ヒーロー or ヒロイン. 主人公 is the word that jp wikipedia, pixiv, etc. use to refer to shion, shulk, cross, rex, noah and mio and it is what eleanor is being referred to as in jp language comments.

I've had Xenoblade 1 DE, X remaster and 2 on Switch for years and I still haven't played them...
Tried a bit of Xeno 1, reached that place where the trees illuminate during night time... And I got bored. The robot antagonist sounds like a stupid cartoon villain. I really couldn't get into it.

Xenogears is my favourite game ever and I feel bad not getting into Xenoblade games... Do they get better?
>>
>>570718229
They aren't as ambitious as gears or saga, but they have good moments and are way more consistent
>>
>>570718229
If you get bored, you get bored. I don't think there's a particular reason to force yourself through a game you aren't enjoying. Though, why'd you buy all these games if you aren't playing them?
>>
>>570718229
They're definitely made for teenagers. If you didn't like the gameplay loop of 1 by the end of ether mine you probably won't like the others. Don't force yourself to play multiple 50 hour rpgs
>>
>>570718229
The next area after where you stopped introduces two new party members, the one after that has the best character writing in the game, and just after that is the climax of the first half of the game. I'd give it another shot and then drop it if you're still not into it after Prison Island.

2 and 3 move things forward a little faster in the early game, but X is an entirely different kind of game that doesn't really do anything with its writing until ~70% of the way through.

3's first trailer had content from across the whole game to speculate about while Genesis' was explicitly limited to just the prologue, so there's a lot less to discuss by default. It's more comparable to 2's first trailer.

3 had the hype of being the conclusion to the Klaus trilogy and had a bunch of mystery box shit within the first trailer, the Xenogears connection with the two martial nations being alluded to as lambs, the two (one formerly) cuckqueens, plus we got character artwork and bios the same day.

Stuff like Doomsday and KH4 don't have a lot of hype riding on them either compared to Endgame and KH3

They won't be radio silent for too long. With Xenoblade's track record for release dates, I'd be assuming 2027 means February 2027 if not for the fact that they don't have English voices yet.

Yeah, I keep seeing the comparisons to 3’s first trailer, but this one immediately reminded me more of 2’s, which didn’t really tell us much and was a more low-key trailer. I didn’t really get super hyped for 2 until its second trailer at E3, and I expect history to repeat itself here.

Mitsuda confirmed that they actually finished recording the whole soundtrack in May so I think it will release early 2027.
When Xenoblade 2 had its first trailer they actually hadn't finished recording the soundtrack which is why it had a different version of Gormott from the final game

Also the 4K visuals and 60 fps have seriously pushed the game to new heights for me. Its even more immersive now and I've taken so many screenshots. Sometimes I'll put it in first person and walk around and admire the textures and little details of the environments and world.
>>
>>570717487
The leak doesn't use the word 主人公 and is using the English word for hero or heroine written in katakana instead of the actual Japanese language word.
ヒロイン is pretty normal but only in specific contexts. In otome games you'll have a 主人公 and a cast of ヒーロー in her harem. In stories with male leads you'll have a 主人公 and a ヒロイン as his love interest. But you basically never see ヒーロー and ヒロイン.
This is why it's probably safe to assume that we're using the other kind of meaning for ヒーロー and ヒロイン here. Shows like Precure or Sailor Moon fall under a genre called 変身ヒロイン or transformable heroine, which are in turn part of the broader 変身ヒーロー genre. ヒーロー and ヒロイン in these contexts are used to refer to the assumed, heroic identity that the series protagonists transform into.
This is also probably why Xenoblade 3 uses the word ヒーロー for its class archetype characters that the player characters can sort of transform into. I assume that with Genesis they're just using ヒロイン for the women this time around.
But I don't speak Japanese so who knows, really.

I already predicted that Genesis would be more in-line with 2, like how 3 felt starkly similar in tone to 1 through trailers. With both 2 and Genesis focusing on the more fantastical elements of their settings, having more colors, showing off actual populated towns while also giving off a grand adventure vibe.
Now, adding onto that checklist, exposed foreheads.

>I already predicted that [thing which did not happen]

It's also worth pointing out that Hero characters in 3 fell under the same PC umbrella as the six protagonists but they were modeled differently, had different sets of animations, and had a different set of textures. That is something that contracted production staff would actually need to know about when doing their work if they're using the same term for similar reasons here.

Do I need to spell it out? 日本人 are reading the natively written text from the leak, and their assumption is that these are the principal characters. Meanwhile we have literal spastics here crying and coping going NO NO NO THEY MEAN 主人公, I KNOW THEIR LANGUAGE BETTER THAN THEY DO.

I fucking hope not.
The whole narrative of Xenoblade 3 development going so well they could push its release date early fell apart for me in the last 2 chapters of the game. Though part of me wonders if they'd ever have been finished. Theres parts of 3 where it genuinely, genuinely feels like the developers just said "fuck it", like they knew they couldnt make the game as cool as they wanted to be so wrapped it up, sorta played to its main kino (noah and mio), and could start their efforts on trying to make the next game cool.

Im arguing against myself here a bit I guess. But as much as the game feels giga unfinished, my point I guess is that maybe thats as finished as it was ever going to be.

>Theres parts of 3 where it genuinely, genuinely feels like the developers just said "fuck it"
Post-prison 3 doesn't feel like a game where the developers gave up, I've played plenty of games where the devs clearly stopped caring and/or ran out of time towards the end. It feels more like a game where they only realised that they wrote themselves into a corner very late in development and couldn't course correct.
Going straight to the Cloudkeep or even Origin after the prison could have alleviated many of the problems and it also meant they could have fleshed Origin out more to make it more like the amazing concept art. However it would have also meant leaving some narrative threads unfinished outside of side quests.
>>

>>
>>570759903
I don't know how people can call the leak fake when way too many small things are already in the trailer.
>>
>>570759417
I think what matters most is where the highs and lows are.
You can have a ton of lows but be super beloved if your highs are all at the end (Like say, 2)
But if your lows are at the end, it doesn't matter how high your highs were. Sticking the landing is probably the single most important thing a story (and story based game) can do, people will turn on a story, no matter how beloved, if it had a bad ending.
>>
>>570759115
Even if they're disappointing, no Xenogame has outright sucked, although FC came close.
XB3 post-chp 6 was pretty disappointing but I still think that overall it's a great game and I have a lot of faith that they learned from that slight misstep.
Gameplay I'm sure they'll continue to evolve it and the first break with a full-fledged Femc is intriguing.
>>
>>570759397
Didn't a couple of the prominent villains die at the end of the game with no or fanfare? They just kinda vanished while you could kinda just move around and ignore it after the fight?
>>
>>570760258
It was this really awkward thing where they had to not die maybe so you could beat them in sidequests sorta? The entire end of the game feels like it needed a major rewrite to make X and Y more of a proper part of the story. I mean the entire game feels like it needed to be a full chapter longer at least, and also make chapter 6 longer.
>>
>>570759903
No they're not, at least they weren't when I checked last night. Everyone was actually talking about how much they hate the fact that Saito isn't doing the characters, and also arguing over sales. Yes console warring is very much still a thing. Since it was a モノリス thread they were all whining about how much they hate Sony. They would fit right in on /v/.
>>
My initial reaction to X and Y dying with no fanfare or cutscene was actually a positive one and it quite surprised me in a good way. Just wasn't expecting it and thought there'd be a cutscene but it felt kind of refreshing that a boss just dies like that with their animation play out in real time. Felt like Dark Souls or some shit. Personally I found it really cool.

>>570760460
I don't really care either way about Saito, but I do hope that, when we finally get the like, official art of the characters, they have some more distinct outfits or elements that make them feel more distinct. Feel a little bit like something spit out of an algorithm right now and not as instantly iconic (mostly the big guy with light brown skin, and the orange haired elf guy who feels like an NPC in a hero quest).
I guess the copium is that the school thing is temporary and they change looks for the rest of the game which will fill out their designs and thats when we'll get to see the official renders (as in when they've revealed the premise of the game).
3 Obviously had this at the start with the standardized military uniforms but differentiated the characters pretty heavily by making them different fantasy races.
>>

Yoneyama being the lead artist is fucking great because all characters look distinct to each other unlike Saitom sameface.

>my sameface artist is better than your sameface artist
Atleast Saito know how to make male characters look unique instead of relying on cleavage chest to so they are MCs
>>
I wonder how much different the trailer would feel were it in english.
I tend to play JP audio in all japanese games besides Xenoblade and FF14 for whatever reason, and I do genuinely feel like theres this slight extra disconnect to who is speaking and whats important when its not in your native language. Everything comes across a bit more homogeneous and iconic lines dont stick with you as much.
>>
>>570761704
Yeah I think weve had a good enough amount of games with Saito now. Definitely was time for a new artist. Personally I do prefer Yoneyama designs over 3's designs and I even prefer 2's designs over 3's too. Saito's sameface problem I wasn't a fan of and I also didn't like that he always designs every female with a fringe covering their forehead. I think he just generally lacks variation.

you could argue that Genesis characters looks generic for now but at least you can't deny there's a variation in faces & anatomy design
you could make them bald, and I'd still be able to tell which character is which

>>570762776
Exactly. I love all of their designs. Much better than the sameface of Saito imo.
>>
>>570762418
Saitom isn't bad artist per se but like you said, he lacks variation.
just look at picrel, It's basically just a white-haired Pyra, and her face is no different from any other girl he's designed.
just look at how Yoneyama's designed the character in Genesis >>570762776, all has distinct faces & has variation

if there's a problem with the characters having sameface in 3 it's not really saitom's fault. his character expression sketches for mio, eunie and sena have pretty distinctively different looking heads but they got homogenized a lot by monolith's modelers.

Mio unironically doesn't deserve Noah. She has a gentle personality, wasted on such a weak and milquetoast guy. She's better paired with a man like me, a sociopath with a violent temper, but also a loving side.

I'm interested in seeing more Yoneyama characters, but it's not going to reflect well on her if the main fantasy race is just plain old elves, and most of the others are reminiscent of X and its ugly aliens.

Noah and Mio are like bread and butter pudding. It's fine, but when you see it at your relatives Sunday roast, you turn your nose up slightly. It's that kind of thing. Such a relationship is bordering on sickly, there's not enough edge. It's just mush.
Me and Mio are a key-lime trifle served in a traditional ornate bowl. A true showstopper. Together we'd be an insane power couple but also extremely loving.

No, story aside, there are too many things that point to being in an insane time crunch and cutting corners. Mechanical Assassin is extremely barebones, right down to the animations. Camuravi and Ethel don't even get ascension quests. Camuravi in particular is barely fleshed out and the entirety of his character is that he's afraid of heights; Miyabi also doesn't get a character at all despite being the defining trauma of Mio's life. Noah's side quest was shoehorned in a bizarre way to pad out play time and consists of nothing but going through an empty castle. Upper Aetia is the absolute bare minimum of an area possible. Same thing with Keves/Agnus castle towns. Colony 0 is an empty cave and they just reuse a previous area. Arguable whether this is "not caring", but it absolutely is putting significantly less care into the game as compared to the first 75% of the game.

Conservatism as envisioned in the game is the outdated dying conservatism that we see on the decline with every year and was likely written in just to show how people outside of Moebius experience fear dying / being left behind.
Look at the UK, the Tories are basically done forever. Takahashi could have torn the insane political malpractices of Japanese conservatives apart but he didn't because spoiler alert, he's trying to write a fun video game, not insert random out of place political commentary in a game that has literally nothing to do with politics whatsoever.

>he's trying to write a fun video game, not insert random out of place political commentary in a game that has literally nothing to do with politics whatsoever.
He did tho, But it's mostly presented through metaphor and allegory, so many people don't notice it. XB3 contains political themes and social commentary that work within japan's sociopolitic framework.
XB3 is basically Takahashi criticizing Japanese work culture and how conservative Japanese politicians done nothing about the issues facing Japan's youth that have contributed to the declining birth rate. It's basically a critique of the LDP & JP players talked about this, but people who aren't familiar with Japanese politics don't pick up on it.
I'd argue that, among the xeno games, XB3 is where Takahashi is the most personal and direct about his political views.
there's a reason why in 5ch/2ch people called XB3 as Takahashi being preachy

You have no reason to think that. They have no trouble understanding the City's dogtags in Chapter 1, either. And again, the only two soldiers who are actually established as blood-related had their memories of their names erased.

I believe there's exactly one character in the entire trilogy with a known first and last name who isn't any kind of nobility, and that's Kenny Rohan. Everyone else has last names, but they're not mentioned. You have no reason to believe 3 is any different in that regard.

It's not that only Rex is allowed to have sex. I mean that's also true, but not the issue here. It's that Rex has to be the source of the name Vanhdam, rather than someone actually named Vandham. The idea is that Rex talked about Vandham to Matthew offscreen for no reason, and even though he was a third-generation Citizen, he somehow didn't have a last name yet, and he decided to take the name of this random asshole from some story.

Yes, this is the actual popular theory. But no, there's definitely no recurring problem with this fanbase of trying to shove Rex into everything.
