Xenoblade Chronicles X

If Definitive Edition does well, will sci-fi JRPGs become more common?

It’s coming advertised as pre-censored. Being started with negative controversy will ensure it doesn’t do well.

XBC1, 2, and 3 were all sci-fi JRPGs and those did well.

So you already have your answer and the answer is no.

pre-censored

They only said

based on Western version

The Western version was censored, but it also had some mechanics and content added that was DLC in the JP version. So its entirely possible if there's enough bitching, they could easily do just as modders did with WiiU and "decensor" all the content but still have the updated stats/mechanics/DLC of the western release.

I wish it got a PC port instead so modders could fix it.

There was a screenshot showing some poster that was changed for localisation was changed back to the JP version so there is a chance they just mean the dlc is built in like the english versions.

If you want RPGs to be more common get a PlayStation 1.

Lmfao. They won't.

I'm hoping for improvements.

The "censorship" you're ceaseless whining about is the sexualization of a child. Shut up already.

I don't care about the censorship and said nothing about it but you're a faggot for defending it.

If you don't like the author's vision maybe you should find another hobby

Meh, I think they just used footage from the JP version for both the english and japanese trailers, with the eng dub added over it of course.

I'd koo in her lin lee.

And all the retarded name changes that fucked things up, BLADE, DOLLS, blue bloods to Mimeosomes etc

The author literally don't care.

The least bitching done between now and then, the more likely it turns out that way. What do you have to lose? Politely and without seeming like a stereotype request that the game be uncensored as intended by its original JP version - the more play it gets both in JP and worldwide on socia media the more likely they'll at LEAST do it for the JP version and then its an easy modding base.

Removed sliders for adult PCs

removed Fundoshi underwear style

altered other costumes

Prohibited a teenager from wearing one specific bikini, while censoring other ones for adult character etc.

Yeah go fuck yourself. There is nothing wrong with the teenager wearing the costumes and to only restrict one is stupid. Any censorship though, conceptually is not acceptable in any form.

But if it was going to stay changed wouldn't they just pull a Tokyo mirage and leave it the same?

I actually care more about stuff like character sliders and weird censored outfits, I like sexy girls.
Apparently you, projecting anon, went straight for the CP thoughts.

Are you speaking on authors behalf now

BLADE,

Please, nobody cares about the acronym.

DOLLS,

Skells is better. Not everything has to be symbolic.

blue bloods to Mimeosomes

That's just a straight up spoiler. Changing it was the correct decision.

tit slider

Okay, so you're not pedophiles, but actually retarded children yourselves. This game wasn't even supposed to have a character creator in the first place. And quite frankly, it still shouldn't.

And piloted mecha are not exoskeletons, it's a retarded name.

The goalpost moving here is insane, retardtrannny.

It sounds cooler. Simple as.

That's not goalpost moving, that's refutation. I accept your concession.

You're going to get Star Ocean but on a farm this time and you're going to like it.

sci fi is apparently an ick for modern "women" so they don't sell to anyone but boys and man children
Jrpgs are the most troon friendly kind of games so only a scant few will keep being based

The original Blade meaning has real story implications while the new one is nonesense.

sci fi is apparently an ick for modern women

No it isn't. Where the hell are you even getting this idea from?

Give me tiddy sliders or give me death!

The revived online is gonna be fucking wild. It'll be like Miiverse never went away.

All I want is a separate slider for music and voice audio and the superior quest tracking from XCDE.

Censored shit.
I will NEVER buy your game.

Will we get a hard mode of some kind?

I hope at least they give us the bonus exp system from 2 and 3. Cross was too easy to over level in X.

Sci-fi settings are harder to pull off, that's why they are less common than fantasy.

Why do twitter refugees post here?

I keep seeing this take, but I don't see how that works. Everyone knows what the stereotypical sci-fi setting looks like.

13 years old

inside and out

what the FUCK did she mean by this?

13 is legal in my country.
I don't care.
Censorship = no buy.

What the hell?
I thought they long forgot about this game.
I hope they at least fix the shitty behavior where the background music changes back and forth every time you jump and land in a skell.

Worst MC

Worst Nopon

Worst main story

Most party members

Most party members that you're not allowed to use in story missions

Best world

Best exploration

Best combat

Only game with mechs

I really like XBCX but it's going to give a lot of people whiplash, simultaneously the best & worst xeno game in the franchise

Have you not played the game? they are all supposed to be remote controlled bodies

This sounds like a huge cope but then again the trailer had a wall sign from the jp version that was different in western versions. Still wouldn't get my hopes up

The presence of advanced technology makes world building and level design harder. A fantasy setting has less things that need to be justified to the player.

Does that imply there may be 13 year old girl mimeosomes running around NLA that are actually controlled by 40 year old men?

She's a preteen both mentally and in appearance.

Which does not change the fact she is a child.

it's sad that the appeal of the game is meant to be the mechs but they they play worse than ground combat

Not how it works. Everyone's body looks like them.

It has been years but I think there was a joke that Lao first assumes she was just using a teen body.

2025 is the year of sci-fi

preteen

Not true in the slightest. In Irina's final Affinity Mission, a father and son duo directly state that they chose to make their mimeosomes younger and older respectively. As in, the old man made himself a young body and the young son made himself an elderly body.

It's heavily implied that there are others in NLA that have real bodies different from their Blue Bloods.

Doubt it considering you need to pay for online.

Pedantic pedophile plays poster's patience.

I have a hacked Wii U, how do I get the uncensored version with English text? I have Nusspli

Worst MC

That's Rex.

Worst Nopon

True

Worst main story

That's arguable. 2's was very bad as well.

Worst party members

Completely wrong. XCX had the best party members.

Most party members that you're not allowed to use in story missions

That's XC3. You can only bring one along at a time and there are way more optional heroes than there are party members in XCX.

She's a fictional character. Fictional characters do not have rights. It's no more wrong to look at Lin in a bikini than it would be to see her get fatality'd by Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat.

1657516542209.jpg - 1920x1080, 365.61K

"It's just polygons, bro!"

Polygons depicting -what-, anon?

A fictional character you dumbass.

And that fictional character is how many years old in-universe?

That's Rex.

*Noah

2's was very bad as well

*3

Probably only a few years from being printed and kept in storage.

13. The age doesn't matter, though, because she's a fictional character. A character from a video game is not a real person. That's why it's legal to kill characters in video games but not in real life.

Is the projecting Xenosaga pedo going to ruin every thread about the game?

3 is great. 2 is dogshit.

3 is great

at putting you to sleep.

He'll give up when he realizes that no one agrees with him.

She's a robot.

Seen enough schizos to know that's not true.

age doesn't matter, though,

1407802001618.jpg - 400x500, 19.47K

Technically, Xenoblade has always been a SF story with the presentation of a fantasy RPG.

Fictional characters don't have rights. You're not going to arrest me for running over a pedestrian in GTA.

It's an american problem. Have your american only copies with jelly donuts and 21yrs old girls. Let the rest of the world enjoy shit without puritan nonsense.

Well yeah, but that robot is 3 years old.

It doesn't matter if they're fiction, stop jerking off to children.

Being opposed to pedophilia is not puritan nonsense, its basic human instinct.

Everyone has NSO

So are all the others, so it's ok for them to fuck.

You're not on trial son. Nobody is going to arrest you over lusting over a cartoon little girl. But people will think you're a weird nonce and no amount of "b-but s-she's fictional!" will change the fact that only pedophiles lust over underage girls, real or fictional.

Being opposed to pedophilia

In my country age of consent is 14. For me a 14yr girl is an adult, i don't care about anything else.

Her being fictional DOES matter. Fictional characters don't have rights. Lin could be any official age and it STILL would not matter. She's fighting in a war against aliens where people regularly get killed. There are several characters in XCX that get dismembered while still being kept alive. Lin wearing a bikini isn't even in the top 10 most horrific things that happen in XCX.

You can take Lin to go see a serial killer dome herself in front of you but apparently that's okay and putting her in a bikini is not.

Imagine seething at girls wearing swimsuits at the beach, thinking they are trying to sexually provoke you. What a freak.

Um, excuse you? Elma might be 50+ years old, but her robot body is only 3 years old you LITERAL PEDOPHILE!!!

1586119519032.png - 1920x1080, 2.21M

the problem isn't lusting after fictional children, the problem is that you would want to in the first place - because that would make you a pedophile

Speaking of fictional.

Fictional characters don't have rights.

Neither to pedophiles. Stop yelling about how mad you are that the game doesn't let you sexualize children, you sick freak.

It'd make you a lolicon, not a pedophile. The Japanese can make the distinction, why can't you?

His hands became weirdly feminine on the right panel

Hahaha yeah imagine that

Neither to pedophiles

Good morning, saar. Yes, they do have rights. They have all the same rights as every other criminal.

At the same time, whacking it to a fictional 13 year old possessing a robotic body does not make you a pedophile.

lolicon, not a pedophile

Same thing.

The Japanese can make the distinction

And that's probably one of the many reasons their birth rates are so fucked.

Yes, they do have rights.

They shouldn't.

whacking it to a fictional 13 year old possessing a robotic body does not make you a pedophile.

Yes it does.

Same thing

They're not. Pedophilia is a crime. Lolicon is not.

And that's probably one of the many reasons their birth rates are so fucked.

Their birthrates are fucked because of Tokyo. They have normal birthrates outside of Tokyo, but everyone is packed so tightly together in Tokyo that they have half the birthrate that the rest of the country has, and with Tokyo accounting for 1/3rd of Japan's population they're basically genociding themselves. Oh, and Japan has a higher birthrate than Spain and Italy, and if you count only the natives they have a birthrate higher than all of Western Europe.

Also, Japan lusting after fictional characters is not lowering their birthrate. Having a wank to a loli character does not stop them from having kids.

Oh yeah, the judge will buy that hook line and sinker, mate.

No.
Mechaslop will never be mainstream.

Mechaslop

What form of autism is this?

You're the ones who INSTANTLY started whining about the censorship and crying bitch tears that the game stops you from sexualizing a child, just like how you do literally any time this game comes up, you spamming piece of shit. Kill yourself.

She cute. I wish they didn't circumcise her monado hairclips in the remake. She only has 1 now.

Oh so that's how it is. I accept your concession, kiddie touchers.

All you have to do is stop whining, you fucking pedophile.

Why are they using swords? I thought it was a SF setting!

I want to play this outside by a lake when it comes out, but I find it difficult to actually see with the sun reflection on the switch screen.

You are so obnoxious that you deserve it, and that's with me preferring space elf by a long shot. Besides, it's just cute pics of a character in the game.

stop defending censorship, k?

Everyone carries a melee weapon and a ranged weapon. You can switch between them on the fly. For melee, you have:

Longswords

Shields

Dual Swords

Javelins

Knives

Lightsabers

For ranged you have:

Assault Rifles

Gatling Guns

Dual Guns

Sniper Rifles

Rayguns

Drone Guns

Multiguns

It keeps the rhythm going.

The other xenoblade games are sci-fi the same way star wars is aka they're just fantasy games disguised with technology.
Lots of silly limitless technobable and magically willing powers into existence.
Cross doesn't just give the protagonist a magic sword that literally lets him do anything if he feels hard enough

post yfw you're stuck on a whole different planet

It wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't such a hostile shithole. Oh well, at least it has this adorable thing, whatever they are. Even if they are from another planet too.

Mimeosomes.

I don't know, but I fucking hate it. Fuck Star Wars.

Stop being a pedophile.

they're just fantasy games disguised with technology.

Bruh, did you even engaged with a SF media?

they're just fantasy games disguised with technology

yeah, sci fi

Cross doesn't just give the protagonist a magic sword that literally lets him do anything if he feels hard enough

No one will ever stop pointing out censorship you corpo bootlicker.

And the mimeosome is inhabited by the consciousness of WHAT, anon?

Lin did nothing wrong.

Sentient lifeforms.

A fictional character.

Epstein's acolytes having the gall to call anyone a corpo bootlicker

a collection of words

Are you one of those snobs who think that a game or book is not sci fi if it doesn't show at least 3 accurate equations?
Do you even know SF like 2001 space odyssey, the Sphere, Mazinger Z, Astro Boy, Evangelion?

schizophrenic corpo bootlicker

stop pointing out censorship

i don't, but i just might commit if XCX's online is coming back

thirsty pedos

And that fictional sentient lifeform is how may years old in-universe? You cannot get away from the fact Lin is a child, and your complaints are centered around the game not allowing you to sexualize her.

Okay but Tatsu only caused problems throughout the whole game. He would've better served the party by being turned into calories than getting the party almost killed twice.

MAMA MIRA!!!!!

All I'm saying is I've had enough games about teen boys with red swords and the power of friendship.

I don't care that the game doesn't let you do that, I care that NoA decided that western copies of the game should have certain aspects altered from the original version to suit their sensibilities

Still she can be a little mean if you aren't a huge robot.

muh dollies

It releases TODAY?!

I'd like to see a sidequest where Lin and Cross accidentally run over a Nopon and decide to cook and eat it out of curiosity.

yes

Add it in after Chapter 5 and remove Tatsu from the rest of the game.

It sounds like you just don't like anime or japanese games

I wonder if her murders are less equal than Doug's murders.

Yeah you wish

How could Monolith Soft do this? She's only 13!

That's called being based.
The real question is why is there Celica X Lin fanart

Are you one of those snobs who think that a game or book is not sci fi if it doesn't show at least 3 accurate equations?

Where did he say that?

It's only a minority that does. Loli characters are popular in the US just like in Japan.

Not really a fan of how it's very obviously the same body model as Elma but downscaled t b h.

You stay on Drifter to take advantage of the additional skill slot after mastering the required classes. Absolutely playing the Bastion Warrior first to speedrun it, fucking sucks but Gatling is locked to that at the beginning.

Going for not-Ether, it seems like I have stuff for Physical, Electric and Thermal.

On the one hand, I've rolled Photon Saber for my last three X runs so I really should try something else.
On the other hand... STARFALL RONDO GOES BRRRRR

How do you think the Xenos will feel if their mimeosome mates get their human forms back and look nothing like their mimeosomes.

You type like a retard.

it will not do well because the hack director hates X with a passion and will do his worst to get a payback for being forced to remaster it

I will try Javelin

We can only hope. But I won't get my hopes that high.

THIS. Why do trannie always insist on being retarded? FICTION IS NOT REAL.

If they don't fix the Sky High/Vortex glitch: either Dual Guns + Photon Saber or Assault Rifle + Javelin

If they do fix the glitch: Dual Guns + Knife or Assault Rifle + Photon Saber.

How would you feel if you married Elma for her chocolate form and got blueberry as well?

This.
because apparently only Americans take issue with Japan existing
Correct. Americans(especially Commiefornians) are a blight on the Earth.

Why do tendies say the other xeno games are better than xenoblade chronicles X when X is the vastly superior Xeno game? are you retarded?

they just haven't played it

Is this the one with connected to xenosaga & has you pilot giant mechas?

man they are in for a rude awakening if thats the case

yes

connected to xenosaga

all of them are

pilot giant mechas

they are pretty medium sized mechas

It's not connected to Xenosaga. XCX has alien races unlike Xenosaga

Is this the one with connected to xenosaga

Xenoblade 2 literally has KOS-MOS and T-elos as unlockable Blades and Xenoblade 3's DLC story has more direct ties to Xenosaga, including Vector's logo and a direct namedrop of Dmitri Yuriev. X's connections to saga are tenuous at best.

has you pilot giant mechas?

Yep, sadly, X is still to this day the only Xenoblade with pilotable mechs.

lailah supremacy

i hope they buff the droprates so being an ares cuck is no longer required

Because specifically XC2 fans are retarded. My buddy hates Gears and X and also considers XC2 one of the best games made. Also he has 300 hours in FF13 with multiple plat trophy playthroughs and thinks Diablo 4 is best in the series. You cannot help retards only put them out of their misery (or ours)

Do mims have pubes?

why didn't you put him out of his misery or still have such a terminal case of shit taste as friend?

totally real story guys

t. that buddy

Can't be, I like X and Gears.

Cope

His wife is a great counter for his suffering and bad taste in most things gaming and non gaming related.

Can someone show me Ga's Booty?

thinks Diablo 4 is best in the series

fucking kek, im curious what does he say about D2 or even PoE2?

Guaranteed from the previous release of X:
1. Removed breast slider from character creator
2. Every swimsuit-level outfits on Lin will come with black spats and tubetop underneath
3. Fundoshi late-game craftable item replaced with generic white boxer-shorts
4. Lots of dumb useless localization retranslation of terms that were already in English in the Japanese release (BLADE, DOLL, Blue Blood, every faction names)

100% also going to happen:
"Body type A/B" bullshit in the character creator

He's never spoke of or formed an opinion of those 2 games. I know he's played D2 before tho.

sorry that your taste is just as shit and you feel called out

You forgot that it also has the worst grind in the series tied with the shittiest MMO mechanics in an already mmo-lite series

One thing I hope for is a hard mode or level scaling. Optional for people who don't want it, of course. But I just want the game to be a bit harder because of how easy it is to OP yourself in a few hours.
It IS fun to go super saiyan and destroy everything, though

That shit does not affect sales. Typical autist believing autism is normal. Incapable of understanding that most people think completely differently and aren't brain damaged.

only now learning how busted reflect is

this game seriously needs tooltips so you don't have shit like

this buff grants: Buff III (does not explain buff)

boosts [element] damage (does not elaborate by how much)

potential

Anyone has the pizza quest start webm

I'll buy it since switch modding is so good, hopefuly emulators will be able to run this well.
But if they add more kikery like shitendo can kiss my $59.99 +tax +tip goodbye.

Switch isn't region locked, just put your system in JP and the game will be in JP

Potential being the best stat

Resistance being a % (Ex: 100 Beam Res = 100% Beam damage reduction = each Beam hit doing 1 damage)

Reflects being an entire immunity

Infinite Overdrive

All the different Overdrive combos

Concurrent Overdrive party buffs

Switching the Soul Voices of teammates

Weather buffs/debuffs

Terrain buffs/debuffs

Verticality buffs

Topple removing evasion

There are so many parts of the combat system that will change the way you play that are just never explained.

This works or not depending on the game.

"Basic human instinct" is to reproduce with suitable mates. You'll never guess what the male instinct has found to be the most suitable age range for females on average

I understand what the concept art was going for but her model was fucking ugly

All the young characters in the game look like hot ass. It's why even if it's censored I'll likely just play the Definitive Edition for the better models.

Agreed. I owned the wii u version knowing about the censorship but never got to play it because of moving fuckery and i had to leave the console behind. I'm just glad the entire series is on one console now

Same, now all that needs to happen are the old MonHun games get moved to PC/Switch and I'm saved.

reflect is mostly what endgame builds are based around having as their primary thing

There's like 8 young characters in the game and 7 of them are Nopon

Nopon aren't real. Also Lin and what's her name that's with the big retard are basically the same model with fucking AWFUL faces.

knife+gatling gun finally

Odd combo. Mind explaining why?

I feel like XCX will run worse on Switch than it did on Wii U

I can't imagine it runs any better. No data packs and the Switch is negligibly more powerful than the Wii U. It probably runs at 360p30fps handheld.

bump

Show me Ga's boobs first

Will we get new memes since I see a lot of the same ones in these threads

The only reason the data packs were faster was because disc read speeds are slow. You were basically installing the game like you would on any other gen 7-8 so the console could read from the faster hard disk. Do you anons think the data-packs were these 10Gb dark magic that made load faster through arcane arts?

The acronym in the Japanese version stood for (in English) "Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipators".
Treehouse changed it to "Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth"

treehouse

TRASH

Get my Ares 50 out your fucking mouth

How do you phrase this better?

what's odd about it? knife is insanely strong and is a necessary tool for ranged weapons. gatling gun is capable of outputting insane damage

you will never be a woman

Twitter, Reddit and Anon Babble are a single website now. When the original X released it used to be Tumblr and Anon Babble which is why there were so many memes and drawings

All I know is, they better not fuck with the soundtrack.

I actually hope they do fuck with it by adding more variations for each song. EG:

Primordia Day

Primordia Day Raining

Primordia Night

Primordia Night Meteor Shower

Primordia Night Aurora

Noctilum Day

Zelda is A-tier. Kirby and Animal Crossing are also C-tier.

Zelda is A-tier

Eh, not really. Mario and Pokemon are multiple hundreds of millions of franchise sales. IIRC Zelda is sitting at around 150 million and mostly because of TotK and BotW. Mario and Pokemon are 3x that.

Ki8Dl[1].png - 951x933, 107.73K

Zelda games are released much less frequently. If as many Zelda games were released as Mario or Pokemon it would have similar sells numbers. It's a series that often times skips generations are gets released in the middle of a generation switch.

Zelda games don't sell much more than a couple million frequently. Mario games and Pokemon games regularly sell 10 million+.

Echoes of Wisdom selling more in line with the other Zelda games shows that Zelda's not trending towards being an A-lister, but it is at the high end of B-lister.

NTA, but im gonna wait to see how the next AC game does without the covid mega buff. NH came out right before the lockdowns. probably had the most auspicious timing to take advantage of covid, and got the biggest boost out of any game during that period.

My real beef here honestly is that they removed the "real artist" because everyone keeps memeing about Potato-chan even though it's literally the same artist that did Xenogears

Models were done with character creator, none of them look great in particular, aside Elma.

XB2 did a far better job in translating artwork.

Literally all of those game sales are amazing for the time period they were in. The only game that isn't impressive in context is Skyward Sword being only top 30. Both Ocarina and Windwaker were top 4 for their console. Twilight Princess is also basically top 10 if you ignore bundled games since those inflate sales. And usually Mario is the choice series for bundles.

(2/1)
Actually Twlight Princess is also basically top 5. Top 10 of Wii is populated by hyper-casual games that beat out everything. The Wii Fit beat Mario Galaxy, twice. It's an entirely different market. Unfair comparison.

I get it, but perhaps the best we can do is try to advocate for it now. There are several months before release and if the prevailing notion in both the West and Japan is an undercurrent of people asking for an uncensored experience with the original JP audio intact (thus no need for an undub either ) , as well as QoL improvements + new content like in Xenoblade DE, perhaps they'll do it.

Look, if these companies can be moved by social media to censor "problematic" things, it stands to reason the opposite can be done too. There's no guarantee of course, but I think its better than just sitting on our asses stewing about it pessimistically and then claiming all is lost when it doesn' happen. If the "other side" is loud and offering easy "damage control" demands , we have to push back too - if we can do it artfully to focus on wanting the authentic experience without censorship etc.

Please fix that awful ass performance on all games.

Hardware is more than beefy now.

But can I transfer my digital purchases over to the Switch 2? Because I wasn't able to get the CE from 3 because of Nintendo's shitty website so I bought it digitally.

Why is he your buddy, guy?

Will they ever let CHOCO be lead character designer?

Given that online also transfer, more than likely.

Reminder Manon canonically don't wear panties.

you're a faggot for not defending pedophilia

the irony

13 is legal in my country.

fuck off you dumb third world piece of shit

No, but they really should.

He did a lot of stuff for XBX.

I wouldn't say I hate Xenogears but it's vastly overrated game. The story doesn't get interesting until they plot dump you at the end of disc 1 and then disc 2 is the way it is so it can't even capitalize on the plot dump. If it ever got a remake where they let Takahashi finish the game then maybe I'll change my mind but as of now, it's just okay instead of the god tier game everyone says it is.

Things change. I'd call pre-BOTW Zelda a B-lister but it's definitely A-list now.

How is a top 5 seller per console generation B tier?

Is there a way to actually make your AI companions useful or are they just kinda ''there'' while you do everything?

Art wise not really. They are very important for soul voices depending on what you play as but expecting them to do much with their arts is a bit of a stretch.

I'm enjoying my replay but fuck me only now do I remember just how bad the story's writing was

>Best world

>Best exploration

>Best combat

that's all a xenoblade game needs to be and the reason why xenoblade 3 is hot garbage

I want the breast slider you kike.

Will this work with Ryujinx?

Worst MC

Elma is perfectly fine though.

If you're just gonna emulate it anyway, it runs perfectly well on cemu.

I kinda want the new japanese shit and maybe artstyle fixes(?) what IS different with this release anyway?

We don't know yet, they barely showed anything.

The advertising of the game coming with all the DLC of the JP version is literally just content that was already included in the western release of the game back in the day. It's not an actual selling point since it was always there for us. Art style IS a potentially valid point, but as differences go, it's that plus it looks like some stuff after the end of the game, to MAYBE explain the ending a bit instead of just ending on what feels like a cliffhanger. The Wii U version may arguably be better since it's also fairly easy to decensor it, which may end up not being an option for the Switch version, if that's important to you at all.

Is the thing about the remaster being based on the western version true? Or was anon literally just making shit up?

Comes from the same blurb of text saying the paid content will come with this version of the game. The notice was for Japanese players. This is just run through a translator.

Yeah its true. How much it'll be based off the Western version is still up in the air but main difference between the 2 was that all the DLC and updates were already baked into the NA/EU release and the main reason why they are using that version.

She's not the MC

It sure as fuck ain't Cross.

... It's not the worst news, worse I think would be to see the art style be unchanged and everyone still looks like a preying mantis chink bugman hybrid

Lol

The story is not told from Elma's perspective. She can't be the MC by definition

I'm happy this game is getting praise, but
1. I'm not going to buy a Switch/Switch2
2. I'm not going to rebuy this game.

Concession accepted.

She is literally the main character of the main story. I will debate against this copium just like I did 10 years ago.

The story is told from Cross' perspective. They are the MC, whether you like it or not. Cope.

nuh uh

Perspective doesn't matter. (You) might be the protagonist but (You) are NOT the MAIN character. Everything that happens in the story is central to Elma. She is the main character. She is the hero of the story. Cope.

Come on nigga, even a third grader understands these concepts.

(You) might be the protagonist but

Concession accepted.

Cope, seethe, mald, dilate etc

Thinking protagonist and main character are the same thing

Never made it further than an 8th grade reading level? I pity you.

Projection, you're doing all of that. Alma is the main character and the MC is the side character.

n-no u...

hahahahahahahahahaha

Interesting how this search result also includes the exact inverse definitions.

Alma

Stupid ESLfag can't even spell her name right.

Cope.

I accept your concession. ;-]

I'll concede for now, but look forward to this same old shit from me as long as you insist otherwise.

compatible with all versions worldwide

assuming this means multiplayer they'll have to record 6 new avatar voices (3 personalities, one per gender) since the japanese version had more voice options

Yeah yeah, run away and don't let the door hit you bitch.

umad?

Rather, I think this means that Japanese players will be having less options all around if it's to be based on the western release.

You're gigacopin'

no u

has nothing to do with Xenoblade

you didn't even buy the skell model kit faggot, how would you know?

you're so desperate lmao

and you're still omega coping, come off it

Huh? The model kit doesn't have anything to do with this character who is from a different game

no u

Xenoblade DE had remastered music with an option to switch to the originals, so they’ll probably do that again.

Whoa lookie here we got mister genius Xenoblade, tell me more about stupid shit why don't you

It's a joke you dunce, read her name.

brings up the Skell kit like it's a point

then seethes over nothing

Fucking schizo.

Mad.

anon is retarded

butts and in and gets assmad for no reason

Fucking moron.
Keep coping.

Why did you post this then schizo?

after the TMS switch refund debacle i seriously doubt they would change the game like that without it being stated up front

"based on the western release" does not mean "we cut content to match", and we've already seen them reinstate decals from the JP version on the armory banner

Keep crying you little bitch.

I want to believe you're right. I just don't want to get my hopes up in case it ends up being the way it always has been.

There's three pieces of censorship in X.

Lin's version of the slutty costumes.

Which makes perfect sense given she's 13 (Which makes me think this change was borne out of a genuine concern of infringing western sensibilities about underage semi-nudity), it's not even that she's not slutty, just less so, and it's literally just because of the age of the character, Celica has the exact same body but the game treats her like an adult so she can wear the regular slut outfits.
The male character legit gets more "censorship" with how they changed the fundoshi to board shorts (Tough I think this one was also done more out of a genuine concern for western sensibilities since it's not common for western men to wear thongs or even speedos in public).

The breast slider

I'll concede that this one is bullshit, but given that the male characters don't have any bodily sliders this feature always seemed pointless and surface-level, not justifying its removal but if they had never put it in the game in the first place nobody would even care that the tits can't be altered given no other body part, male or female, ever got a size slider.

One poster is changed to focus on the face rather than the torso of a mimeosome.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about this, it's just some background poster that you only ever see in the mims maintenance center which is literally only there for a story cutscene, you don't even go there to customize your mims during actual gameplay, it's quite literally the most pointless location in the game.

it was the perfect item to bring up

Has nothing to do with Elma though. And especially has nothing to do with this character

Seethe.

Were there any differences between the EN and JP trailers beside the voice over? Cause that could just mean they used the JP version footage and just put the EN voices on it.

You have late-stage autism, I'd apologize but it's kinda hard-coded into you, not much I can do at that point.
;-]

no argument

Concession accepted.

Yeah that's right, run away little bitch.

It would be pretty funny to me if all of these changes were reverted for this release given Xenoblade has way more eyes on it now than it did back then. People STILL bitch about Xenoblade 2.

she fucks asian men for money

a genuine concern of infringing western sensibilities about underage semi-nudity

Never look at a Sears catalogue.
