I haven't bought a new game that I've never played the previous installments in a long, long time. I preordered this game though since it's quite my style of story and it looks fairly impressive.

it may be spiritually in the same series as the xenogears and xenosaga games, but story and gameplay-wise, it is nothing like them.
the story is completely on it's own, and it's a great game anyway. I think you'll like it
I hope so, there is a lot of hype around the game. I'm not a big JRPG fan but the visuals, scale, story, and of course hype got me interested enough to try it out.
What are the combat mechanics like? Any game similar in that area?

uuuummmm... the only similar game I can think of is ff 12, at least console wise.
you have a selection of attacks and skills and skills have a cool-down mechanic and attacking is automatic.
kind of MMO style in a way I suppose.
when's it coming out
damn, i hope it still available by april

sold out already.
lies, it'll be out in November most likely
i hope this game is better than the other xeno games, only xenogears really rules. the others are good but lil bland jrpgy to get hyped about.
really the only thing that makes me want to get this game is that flying around the world w/ gears look sick as hell

I was under the impression that it was just a port of the Wii one?

holy shit lol
that's easily one of the biggest graphical downgrades i've ever seen
i guess this means the wii u is truly next-gen, it's equally as susceptible to bullshots and eventual massive downgrades as its more successful rival systems are
i'm glad this is just a spiritual successor to the original (according to wikipedia idk) and not an actual sequel because it seems nintendo doesn't want me to play the original
even the 3ds remake since i'd need to buy the '''new''' 3ds goonish
not to mention that the '''new''' 3ds port has vastly inferior visuals and a worse control scheme
just pirate it if you're ever truly interested

have you played it yet
[spoiler]
no lol[/spoiler]
[spoiler]could you do that and then send it to me[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
by the time i'm done with it, it will have received a FullHDā,,¢ port on Wii Blew sillydood;[/spoiler]

controls iirc wasn't too complex, you just run aroudn then chose an attack or go thorugh menus. P standard jrpg stuff
comparison video suk cos it doenst show any parts of the game where it actually looks nice
was the wii version any good? i have that on my external hdd but i have yet to play it
yes

Nintendo needs to stop owning any 3rd parties and properties.
(ie fatal frame)
can you believe nintendo still engages in censorship of "religious themes"

very much so.
they really took a step backwards from the GC/Wii gens.
except for Bayonetta 2
they couldn't censor the entirety of bayonetta 2, they'd have nothing left lol
that plus the massive hype surrounding it is probably why it went by unscathed, a censored bayonetta wouldn't even be bayonetta
thank you nintendo for giving me a safe space in which i can enjoy video games without having to face the inherent misogyny of video game """culture"""

Nintendo is an enigma.
They don't listen to the people who want them to give us more games, or changes w want to see, instead they listen to people complaining on the internet about "too sexy."
i don't think anyone is complaining about anything though lol. nintendo is just fucking stupid
I can't tell if I want this or not.
so you're not really feeling it?

was anybody actually complaining for nintendo to remove blood, religious imagery, artistic nudity, etc. back in the snes days
nintendo is just maddeningly out of touch, and it's reflected in every decision it makes, and in the fact that it's become repulsive to both third party devs (who don't want their vision compromised) and consumers (who wish not to be treated like children) alike
unfortunately for monolith and the fatal frame ip, they can't just take their business over to sony anymore to avoid being spoiled by nintendo's idiocy
honestly i'm starting to think Reggie is bad for nintendo

sjw's was kinda what i was referring to
i figured, but my point was that nintendo's been like this since well before such folk could convene on tumblr lol
and other companies don't seem to be as censor-happy as nintendo is, either
yeah if anything nintendo's scared of christian conservatives and moms who believe every special report they see on the news about the next scandal that's going to ruin their children

yeah, which is crazy because such people don't even exist in large numbers, and even if they did they wouldn't be the type to buy games for their children anyway, so neutering content such as to minimize any possible offense at the expense of pissing off their actual market is just completely idiotic
it's even more ridiculous when you consider that xenoblade and fatal frame are t and m-rated games psyduck;

But they WERE better during the gcn era. or at least comparatively.

i know. I'm kinda surprised....
still want the game though
pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised
mid-80s is about what i was expecting for this game
for a jrpg that's a great score lol
[spoiler]tho personally i think it's a great score for any game because i'm not a tectron[/spoiler]
i mean i think it's a perfectly fine score too lol goowan
i wasn't implying anything by linking to my favorite review aggregator, provocative as those posts tend to be
it's just too bad that it's not going to mean anything when it comes to sales, xenoblade represents a niche genre on a hyperniche platform

I can counter this with an SJW argument: removing that boob slider is worse than leaving it in; it implies that female bodies are shameful, even down to a detail like breast size which is a major factor in a woman's appearance even under clothes. Removing that slider unnecessary harms immersion for women whose body type doesn't match the default and, worse, can reinforce the patriarchy-induced negative thoughts about their breast size being "wrong", "bad", or "weird".
But, seriously, I can't see the point of this exclusion and it is a fairly significant feature removal for censorship in a T-rated game of a very tame and even E-friendly feature. Does the character customization have options for other body type details like height, weight, skin tone, face shape? If so, breast size is a fitting control to have. Of course it's fine to limit it enough that you don't get Eiken characters. Do other character creators, like Sims or Bethesda games, have one?
i mean its totally for fear of backlash because some exec was like I DUNNO THEY GET MAD ABOUT EVERYTHING THESE DAYS
i dont really care if it's in the game or not, not having giant anime tiddies isnt going to ruin MUH IMMERSION but its kind of silly they had to send craig a memo that was like 'hey buddy hows the translating going oh by the way could you just, ya know, take out the bust slider? thanks'
not too excited that they went the "silent protagonist" route.
