I can't understand what's the appeal of these games. From the trailer the story looks unbearable, do the characters eventually become likeable?

If you're asking about the characters in a game about exploring two giant titans, you're already at a loss
Anthony Cooper
Characters have some nice interactions and the environments and music are pretty ok
Julian Long
Im going into this blind after beating XC2 and falling in love with the funny character interactions of that game. Hoping this one will be better, Judging by the reviews and rating, its supposed to be marginally better so im hyped.
Levi Martin
- A plot that's easy to follow, doesn't do any asspulls, and has legitimately good twists.
- Playable characters are all adults.
- Fucking amazing good music.
- If you don't like the main character, that's fine, you can play as others for the rest of the game.
Julian Wilson
You'll find the battle system a bit sedate, but otherwise you should like it more. Its main weakness is sidequest blandness, but that's one of 2's as well.
Sebastian Garcia
Have they said anything about balance changes? My biggest problem with the original was that you couldn't do the sidequests without ending up massively overleveled and trivializing the game
Brayden Nguyen
Elijah Green
This is a godsend and may even make NG+ playable.
Jaxson Jones
Sold
Ryder Rogers
weren't people saying DE looked shit? i have some interest in it still though
Angel Gomez
no
Jace Lee
unless you have a fetish for people with down syndrome, the new one looks much better
Jack Hill
>weren't people saying DE looked shit?
It does. They sucked out all the soul and replaced it with generic anime trash
Elijah Thomas
Jesus christ thats horrifying.
Lucas Smith
Except they always wanted to make moe anime with xenoblade to begin with. 1 game design was a mistake by simply not having actual character designer
Charles Green
>SOUL
>SOULLESS
This argument again. We need some sort of word filter for those two words.
Jaxon Kelly
We need whoever was responsible of doing the sidequests in XBX back for XB3.
Jonathan Ortiz
This. But have side-quests fully voiced.
Bentley Sullivan
So what makes this jrpg stand out from all other jrpgs on Switch?
Xavier Hill
Man I wish they just fixed the original faces instead of just nuking the style completely and replacing it with generic flat shaded anime. The style was really unique and all you'd have to do is fix some proportions and increase the poly count to reshape some things.
Kevin Richardson
>"people" are pretending the bottom doesn't look like the worst shit in any game ever
LOL. there are ps1 games with better character models.
Isaiah Phillips
Just report it.
Jacob Wright

Find one screenshot.
Ethan Brown
But it does have two fairly major ass pulls. Also, you left out the best part that being the amazing environments. It is really hard to believe this game was originally released for the wii.
Oliver Richardson
The setting, since you're traveling across the body of a dead titan, the plot and characters, since they're not teenagers and you go on a revenge mission for most of the game, the battle system, which is really unique and the music which is amazing.
Adrian Sullivan
It does?
Ryder Harris
mgs1 has better character models than XC1, no doubt about it.
Logan Ramirez
What makes the battle system unique?
Camden Foster
The original faces were shit. Anyone with two working eye sockets could tell they were shit. The fucking Takahashi interview in famitsu revealed that even the developers at monolith soft think the faces in the original game looked shit. Stop this fucking argument. Holy shit.
Brody Cruz
No it doesn't. The models completely lack detail. You are confusing models with style, like you hyperbolic faggots always do.
>Hurr dur this atari game has better models than this ps5 game
>Hurr this xbone game looks like a fucking nes game
The style and design are better - you can't get any worse than those retarded downie faces. But the models objectively are better.
Chase Harris
>obvious shitposter complains about shitposting
oh no, how unfair
Noah Anderson
>But it does have two fairly major ass pulls.
If you're thinking what I'm thinking, then I'd say...they're not that eggregious but I agree some in-game suplementary explanation would've helped.
I wanted to add
- Superlative dub if you bother with that stuff. Otherwise, Japanese language is still available.
- The way gameplay and story are heavily tied with the Monado's visions during combat.
Christian Mitchell
Hey you blind and illiterate faggot. I was lamenting that they could have fixed the original style. This literally implies that I THINK THE ORIGINAL MODELS ARE SHIT. You fucking blatant retard. Don't @ me or my wife's son's posts ever again.
Christian Sullivan
I think the new models are fine.
Anthony Rogers
Oh yeah, totally.
Kevin Gray
Please share with the class how I was shitposting by calling you out on your false statement.
Jayden Russell
Better than Final Fantasy
Carson Torres
Modelling quality is absolute bottom of the barrel in XC1.
Considering how you retards constantly defend XC1 using muh style, it absolutely gets raped to fuck by MGS1 in that regard.
mgs1 has more recognizable characters (Shulk and Fiora have literal sameface) and more expressive models.
Higher Poly does not equal better.
Easton Bell
It's kind of a mix of different styles, it is real time, but instead of attacking your characters auto attack on their own as long as they're in range of the enemy and you're in charge of positioning them properly and choose what special arts they do, which are all in a cooldown. The complexity mainly lies in setting up combos, and status effects on the enemies.
Jayden Jenkins
This looks more aesthetically pleasing than bottom of .
Both look like men, but one is actually supossed to be one.
Anthony Moore
Landon Perez
Bottom of is also massively cheating via emulation.
He should really have nipples. Adults in other Xenoblade games have them.
Juan Sullivan
OG Fiora was already hot, but sweet merciful Jesus, nu Fiora is absolutely gorgeous!
Brayden Phillips
>do the characters eventually become likeable?
I ended up liking characters I did not expect to like, such as Riki.
Juju can got to hell though.
Kevin Collins
>Zig Forums will defend this
David Thomas
Being more representative to reality does equal better since that is the objective of the two games. Neither look like real people, but XC1 resembles actual people clearer than mgs1.
>Considering how you retards constantly defend XC1 using muh style, it absolutely gets raped to fuck by MGS1 in that regard.
Never said any of that. Never defended XC1.
>mgs1 has more recognizable characters (Shulk and Fiora have literal sameface)
Irrelevant.
>and more expressive models.
Objectively untrue.
Ryan Williams
Blame CERO for their asinine and very weird censorship. Which would be odd considering we see Fiora in a bikini.
Adrian Bailey
>Being more representative to reality does equal better since that is the objective of the two games.
Straight up not true.
Neither game strives for photo realism.
One is a man, the other is at best a male ape.
Melia's model failed to make a women, pretty much the biggest failure humanly possible in this context.
Using the technical limitations to make a character impressive > pretending down syndrome is an emotion.
Ryder Fisher
Assuming the first ass pull is the Machina building a replacement Monado for Shulk, what's the second ass pull?
William Long
Does it have a lower rating than X and 2? That would explain it, as would them just not wanting to bother with a real retexture of the bodies.

What's so unbearable about it? They hardly show anything at all.
