Lonk Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Giant worm and shadow of colossi monsters are still ridiculously impressive They really are. Also, I'm thinking that my favorite character in the game is going to end up being Lynlee, just because I like the fact that she's 13-years old and is Mecha Engineer.

Lonk Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Two more protagonist characters have been revealed in addition to Elma, Lynlee and Tatsu: Van Damme a.k.a. Louis Armstrong with more hair on his head. Irena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Character design has felt shoddy for the most part. Either the same-face syndrome, or the fact that the overly-anime characters just start to look derpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think the faces look fine (except for the eyes of some characters. *shudders*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Two more playable characters have been revealed: This is Nagi. This is Guin. And, according to the [url=http://xenobladex.jp/information/index.html#info150129]site[/url], there's a promotion that celebrates the release of Xenoblade's port to the 3DS on April 2nd, where you can get the Xenoblade soundtrack and illustration cards drawn by Kunihiko Tanaka if you are register your copy of the game at Club Nintendo. It's Japan Only so far, but looks to carry the promotion overseas with its wording of 'limited release of the Wii version'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 On the note of them giving out the soundtrack, its always bugged me that outside of Japan video game soundtracks don't really go on sale. I would love to buy the Xenoblade one, but like, its kind of hard to do.Anyway, Nagi designs doesn't really make me think "playable character". Guin's does. Weapon KIND OF makes me think of Ryan.

I probably shouldn't use the term 'playable character' since it just only describes the bios of major characters. Major character is more of a term I should've put on.

Flame Dragon Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Gonna be getting a Japanese stream of the game world on the 6th from Japan. For a more local time, it will be at 8 AM EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 > no one mentions that the game was almost going to be released on 2 discs (which basically hold the same amount of data as a blu ray) to be able to store all the data from the game.

I was expecting someone else to say that, actually. Gonna be getting a Japanese stream of the game world on the 6th from Japan. For a more local time, it will be at 8 AM EST. As funny as it is, I somehow was able to read that on the official website, despite being in uncopiable Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonk Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just to let you know, Tetsuya Takehashi confirmed that the world is 400 square kilometers. That's bigger than Witcher 3, Skyrim and Xenoblade's worlds combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Size of the world means nothing to me unless they can fill every inch of it with something interesting. Indeederooni. This IMO was the main problem with Twilight Princess. That being said, I do like how, at the very least, they can make worlds that big in Wii U games.

Makο Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Size of the world means nothing to me unless they can fill every inch of it with something interesting. I don't even really mind it being that big, even if there's not much that's interesting. It kind of reminds me of SotC, except a lot bigger: mostly flat, featureless rolling hills or plains, with maybe some stuff in the distance. A real tone setter for me, personally.
