I'm playing XBC2 and it's good but Pyra and Mythra's designs are legitimately too sexy to take this game seriously. I don't mean this in a coomer way, I mean it's difficult to watch a cutscene without honing in on Pyra's tits because they take up 30% of the screen every time she's in the shot, or when there's a low angle and you can see the skindentation and how half of Pyra's ass is hanging out, same deal with Mythra with her huge tit window and effortless upskirts. I'm at the part where Pyra threatens to blow herself up and gets whisked away and it's supposed to be a serious scene but Pyra just looks ridiculous walking around in underwear.
A lot of the characters are dressed somewhat normally (for a JRPG) so there's this weird disconnect between Pyra/Mythra and literally everyone else in the cast, it takes me out of the game honestly since the two of them look like they're from some gacha game or straight out of a high budget hentai.
It's not really a complaint, it's just weird. Does anyone at least get what I'm talking about? How do you equip alternate outfits?
I managed fine with them but some of the other blades took it too far

Sounds like you shouldn’t play jrpgs

>anniversary thread's last hour was some shitposter trying to call others shitposters when he tried to play the "yuh didn't play it" card, then tried to take the high ground by saying wars between the games are bad Sad state of affairs.
She's not dressed that bare. Not too different from Ashe in FFXII or Jade in DQXI. Just a tad more skimpy. The real flaws are elsewhere.
I got over it pretty quickly and it didn't bug me much after the early game, but it is a pretty ridiculous. >How do you equip alternate outfits? The base game didn't have alt outfits sadly, but they did add some in DLC - the selection is really limited though and mostly just palette swaps and swimsuits. The only alt outfit you can get without paying for that is the Massive Melee Mythra core you get from a nopon in Argentum. It gives Mythra tights and removes her boob window. If you have the DLC, in challenge mode you can grind noponstone (IIRC it's pretty cheap though) and buy an aux core giving you the Gormotti hood outfit Pyra wore in chapter 2 to wear throughout the game. It looks goofy in some scenes, but less so than her regular outfit.
I'm replaying the game now myself and it only enters my mind if I allow my mind to focus on it. XBC2 is basically a shonen manga in video game form so scantily clad female main characters aren't anything abnormal and the brain gets used to it quickly.
Benjamin Foster
Anything can be a shonen manga to you guys.
Ian Ward
I'm in the same boat as I genuinely don't even notice unless I really think about it, and even then it's a passing glance before turning my attention back to dialogue or something else. That being said, I have an ungodly tolerance for weebshit, so I'm sure that it must be unbearable for normal people.
>XB2 is my first Xeno game shut the fuck up. Have you fucking looked at KOS-MOS?
Jose Hernandez
Look at that noass in OPs pic who is that stick looking slut
Jack Lopez
You literally already made this same falseflag thread word for word, Enel.
Mason Martin
You mean harem Isekai manga
Julian Martinez
The greatest JRPGs of all time have little to no coomer shit, nor gacha
Connor Garcia
Pretty much all the Blades are like that and the constant exposure to it makes you completely forget about it unless you focus on it. It's really not that bothersome and it gives them more of an otherworldly appeal because it's normal for them to be like that.
Alexander Lee
Yeah. My dick likes her design but the gigantic tiddies were kinda distracting. She looks like a hooker. t. coomer
Matthew Gomez
Can't say I really get it. Sure, when she first showed up, and every once a while afterwards, I'd ogle her in passing, but then I'd go right back to playing the game. Like 15-30 seconds of lechery for every hour of gameplay and immersion. Kinda goes for any sexy design in any game for me; good characters' personalities don't hinge on their looks, though their looks can complement their character (somewhat unrelated to the point I'm making, but I feel like Pyra's looks are also indicative of the character designer's passion and creativity, which makes me appreciate her even more). You automatically look past the tits and ass because you're there for the greater, overall experience.
Ryder Hernandez
Its strange. In one way, I feel like the game tries to be serious. But damn. Giant anime tiddies and thongs everywhere really destroy any semblance of pathos
Jacob Young
Fag detected.

>I mean it's difficult to watch a cutscene without honing in on Pyra's tits because they take up 30% of the screen every time she's in the shot, Actually it's difficult to not do so because 85% of the time she's in a scene they intentionally do something with her arms which makes it impossible to not notice her chest.
No, don't slash your sword at me. I might get bloody-floody!
Cameron Russell
so what japanese phrase did they mangle to make this?
Joseph Young
this is a non-important moment tho. A slice of life thing. Its not really a problem HERE.
Liam Evans
Blushy-crushy = moe.
Somehow.
Zachary Martin
What the fuck were they thinking?
If there's nothing in the west like moe or maid cafes, why not leave it as Moé and Maid café? Besides, whoever played this game was already well acquainted with these concepts, who the fuck were they localizing for?
Noah Martin
>playing xbc2 >have to go fap because of unstoppable boner from their outfits
Camden Russell
Poppi was teaching her to be a moe-moe maid. I admit Poppi is a great equivalent for Hana, and one-eyed monster was also a perfect equivalent, but the rest of localization attempts were terrible.
Nolan Rodriguez
Localization never makes sense over best job translation and if there's a word you can't really change then you leave it.
No one knows all the words or usages in their own fucking language, let alone others. And what do most people do when they come across them? Look 'em the fuck up. Especially in the age of the internet where figuring out what a word means is 3 seconds away for the majority of the world's inhabitants.
Levi Miller
Does it matter? Japanese dialogue is all so cookie-cutter. "Mr. Rex sir, my feelings.....IT CAN'T BE HELPED."
Robert Barnes
Still better than "blushy-crushy".
Samuel Robinson
It can't be helped user.
Aaron Wood
you sound like a virgin, plus if anybody in the game is too sexy to a distracting degree that's Malos not boob blades
The greatest JRPG of all time is Ys VIII and it isn't one of your fag games, it has titty and cunny.
Jackson Butler
This is just how normal people react to obvious fapbait, congrats on maintaining a shred of humanity OP
But seriously, they didn't just design her with an insanely hot body and skin tight clothes, they actually split her into two people so you can have Mommy Pyra and bimbo Mythra rolled in one perfect waifu. It's pandering, and only a retard wouldn't see through it.
