At this point, the Game Awards should have a "Best New Female Character Design" award.

That could be fun to see. :V

There is nothing but arguments about girls ugly designs because games now started to think chicks with boobs the size of over inflated balloon who are also half naked are nice

Nah I don't like Jojo or Kamen rider. That's true **** taste
Gwen's taste looks godly in comparison
Still doesn't exempt it from being criticized for the designs
But that's not what my point was though.
If you wanna criticize the designs, then do, but criticizing the show for utilizing an element that's required for the story it wants to tell isn't fair criticism

Because you moved the goalposts.

No-one's criticizing the fact that it's used. People are just saying that being a central part of the story doesn't exempt it from being criticized.

Nomura is praised for making memorable designs period but since... FFX I wanna say? He's gotten more and more details in there, not like Kentaro Miura details in which everything is highly detailed but with little extra things that are stupid

Damn straight it is, wouldn't watch it 3 times for nothing

While that's true, that's only a case for the final product and doesn't apply to visual novels like Danganronpa and Ace Attorney. Plus, there's a reason there are cases of bad games having trailers that look prettier than the actual game, they KNOW visuals are important
I mean... again I was never a fan of Nomura's artstyle. I actually prefer Akihiko Yoshida's artstyle who had made amazing artworks for Bravely Default, Bravely Second, and Nier Automata's boxart.

As I like Killa La Kill I still prefer Gurren Lagan which even though Yoko's design has also been criticized as over sexualized, but they never overused the jiggle physics in the anime and she was just an awesome character. However, if you watch Gaijin Goomba's video on how the manga version plays that fanservice too much which just wreck Yoko's character trait...
So regarding your complaint on how Pyra's clothing is a bit of a sexualized is understandable, that said I had once implied this might just be that Xenoblade is going to try to attract more of Japanese gaming community than western gaming community. Because believe or not... there are even female gamers/anime enthusiasts in Japan like these fanservice... my sis is sort of in that category...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_nurDfEq9M
So my stance on fanservice and sexualized designs... as long as they don't put in to the plot too much I am fine. There are quite a few Shonens that just overuse them a lot... whereas My Hero Academia never does that, for now.
Not gonna post the thumbnail due to it is Yoko being a bit ...nsfw...

And yeah, just takes Nights of Azure 2 an example, I understand it isn't that of a good game but still a game worth playing in my opinion. That said I'm not gonna buy it for its retail price, I might either buy used copy or just wait for it to have its price drop.
And you can't say that because Xenoblade is a "niche" series and thus there aren't as many people in the fanbase, thus making the "majority" a bit more easier to reach in terms of numbers, but fanbase means nothing when you don't know anything about the people complaining.
Yeah... seem that this is also the reason why Xenoblade seems to be an easy target on being flagged at its designs...
Anyway, it does suck that there's no customizable armor, but the designs don't deter me enough to avoid it. I won't be getting Xenoblade 2 at launch(mostly because i'm getting some other games first), but I do plan on getting it at some point as I enjoyed Xenoblade and Xenoblade X.
Yep, since it seems that there is no customizable armor I think my score prediction on this game might just drop to only 90/100... at most...

I will 110% get the game and at launch (I think). No matter how people complain, this game is still most most anticipated game this year.

The visuals took the first hit when they decided to create ugly *** characters

... seriously? Cutie Gwen Cutie Gwen already having a discussion with me on this for awhile... try to be more specific next time.
I hope I don't misunderstand... is
Anime=Ugly?
Or
Sexualized cloths/ Baggy pants= Ugly?
If it's the latter than I totally understand.

Geez, nothing but arguments about female designs...where's "and everyone loses their minds" Joker when you need him?
Hm...
There's Senran Kagura massaging game and Gun Gal 2 coming to Switch
, nobody cares

Xenoblade 2 has Pyra....
and everyone loses their minds...

Okay, I know this one is bad... I mean really bad... I can't come up with other for now....

Famitsu gave the Mario Cereal a 39/40; the imperfect score comes from a dude who pours the milk before the cereal.

Got a Sandile in the desert area on Ula Ula, I'd use her to evolve my Pancham but I already have three other Pokemon weak to Flying and I don't need another if I want them to make until the E4.

>Gets X-Scissor
Hell yea--
>No one can learn it
But why
>Gets Rock Slide
Hel--
>No one can learn it
At least Sandile is gonna make use of them

Edit: lmao never****ingmind a wild Dugtrio critted her in her first battle
Guess I'm using her corpse to evolve Pancham

Yoko's only 15 so her looking like that all the time is rather questionable. Plus her boots are unzipped, I get that there's no getting rid of Combat Stilletos but come on!
Also I don't like Gaijin Goombah as he cares more about a livestream than his wife and pretty much said "Liking Japanese things is like having autism! So don't make fun of me for it"
I have a collector's edition of XCX and the Xenoblade New 3DS, which also has Xenoblade coverplates
No need to tag me in that scenario
The anime visuals were hit or miss ever since the game was shown

Well, at least she had a better cloth designs in the later near end of their series right?

I enjoy his videos and how many games has many Japan references even though it's obvious since Mario is from a Japanese dude and company that is over 200 years old. At least those videos he made are way better than MatPat's Game Theory videos.
I mean, there's some users here who don't like Etika so I understand that.

I did not buy XCX, not even own a Wii U. I only bought XC 3D and my brother got the Japanese soundtrack CD.
Oh yeah, my anime fan brother also criticizes on XC2's anime design even though what he said to me I thought they were nonsense, so go figure...

That's what I do, sorry if that bothers you.

To me it wasn't, so again this is "Different strokes for different folks" situation.

Okay to clarify...

Just because a show has an element as a main point doesn't exempt it from criticism.

And vice versa, just because a point is criticized doesn't mean that someone else loving that is a bad thing.

There's also one where a hand is taking away the microwave, so that's totally Shigaraki.

Also, the fact that people are actually starting to doubt that the website isn't MHA related due to the hand gif are crazy :chuckle:
Well, Horikoshi's Manga profile is indeed a hand...

I mean this wasn't first time, and definitely not the last...
So I am fine and those criticism don't affect my hype on the game I want.

Ugly designs = ugly.

Just cause you’re so in love with the art style doesn’t mean it’s good. ;)

So anime style in Xenoblade is bad? Whereas it is ok for Fire Emblem, Tales of ?
I hope I didn't misunderstand your point...

She was 18 then so that made it better, yes

His videos are better but as a person he's an ass

Well, Xenoblade isn't known for giant **** and fanservice galore, so when fans of the original see that it's a big difference from what they expected

So I guess you were fine that they made Lin 15 rather than 13 in the western version? With many censorship with the last Xenoblade game I am actually fine with this censorship.

Oh, please, in 2017 of Youtube this is pretty normal... I guess... at least he and Etika are way better than those like Jake Paul and Ricegum...

Xeno series as a whole... yeah. But when it comes to Xenosaga that sort of changed a bit with KOS MOS...
That said, you have to calm down just a sec, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 isn't that much different gameplay wise, as long as it's still a live action based JRPG and a opening world style game I am fine.

1: They didn't change Lin's age, they changed the skimpy outfits she could wear
2: I'm talking about how Yoko was about 18-19 in the second half of Gurren Lagann, which is fine because she's not a minor anymore then

It shouldn't be normal, and Gaijin has a lot of nerve saying "Making fun of people for liking anime is like making fun of people for having autism!" when he himself knows that's ****ed up

The Xeno series wasn't on Nintendo outside of a bad DS port before Xenoblade iirc

I wasn't talking about the gameplay? It's a jarring change because Sharla, the worst boss and a late game NPC are the only really jiggly characters I can recall, and it's INCREDIBLY tame by comparison. It's like if Mario suddenly became a hiphop rapper who had Sonic's personality, it's offputtingly different

Who will be developing the MHA game is the question (if Namco ain't the ones).

If it's CC2 I'm gonna nut.

Oh yeah, I forgot it's CC2 that made the Ultimate Ninja games, Namco just published them.
Please CC2, milk MHA as much as you milked Naruto, I want that 108-character roster eventually

I would prefer the change, and the outfit change I thought it was unnecessary but understandable.

2: I'm talking about how Yoko was about 18-19 in the second half of Gurren Lagann, which is fine because she's not a minor anymore then
Oh right, I forgot that there's a 7 year gap between the first arc and second arc... so technically she's already over 25... I think it was Simon and Nia that turned 19.
It shouldn't be normal, and Gaijin has a lot of nerve saying "Making fun of people for liking anime is like making fun of people for having autism!" when he himself knows that's ****ed up
Not sure if Gaijin Goomba silently implies liking anime =autism... because this is totally not the case...

And we have Etika having stream right now where he does some stupid stuff... so... yeah...

The Xeno series wasn't on Nintendo outside of a bad DS port before Xenoblade iirc
I know that, Monoltihsoft was belonged to Bandai Namco until 2007. So... what's your point may I ask?

I have finish Xenoblade so I can kind of know who the "worst boss" is...

That's a bit of a bad analogy... it is actually more like how the changes from Super Mario 64 to Odyssey...it was a big difference from we expected from a Mario game but it still had literally the same open world sandbox, but this time is multiple worlds and you have Mario wearing all sorts of weird stuff... including boxer shorts, yeah, I remember that made people go nuts as well.

im pretty sure nintendo had mario be a rapper for DDR mario mix, at least thats what ive been lead to belive after trying to find info on that mario rapping gif
It was just a French ad for the game... I think.

Actually, Simon and Yoko are the same age, 14 to be exact.
So they're both 21 after the time skip.
Don't ask how this works.

All of the major female characters in XC1 had jiggle physics.

As for them being less detailed, that's kinda because the Wii had less detailed models to begin with. If XC1 was made for the Switch, the jiggle physics would be just as detailed and buoyant as XC2 since they'd have the hardware for it.

Everyone's remembering Sharla and Vanea's jiggling bits, but no one remembers Seven's glorious buttcrack.
