Huge ****ing Xenoblade 2DLC spoilers.

https://nintendoeverything.com/rumo...-story-dlc-details-big-news-about-new-blades/

holy batgdmnd whao tis crau

Spoiler

I knew it would take place during the Aegis War, though I'm a bit disappointed it does. I feel the game gave us enough info on that.

Gameplay sounds like it will be fun though, as it sounds like it's harkening back to XC1 gameplay. Which I overall prefer to XC2.

I'll be disappointed if Jin is just given as a Blade, because he's literally already partially playable. Just make him fully playable in NG+. Unless he works like Nia and can be both Driver and Blade.

Shulk and Fiora is gonna be fun. Gonna make the dream team of Rex with Nia, Shulk, and Malos in NG+, lol.

Been wanting Malos as a Blade so I'm glad for that. Now just make a re-write of the main story with Pyra and Malos swapping roles and we're all set.

I just hope Shulk and Fiora aren't the two remaining paid Blades like Poppibuster and are literally just rewards for Challenge Mode. I would like some original Blades for the two remaining DLC Blades.

I hope this isn't all that's left though in terms of updates. There are a few more updates I would like to see that would be relatively simple, like letting Nia gain SP in Blade form, playable Blade Nia, outfit swaps (being able to switch back to Rex's old outfit, Pyra's Gormotti Hood, Nia with her hood up, hatless Mórag, etc), and allowing us to use Blade Nia and the Poppi forms from the beginning in NG+.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I see Nintendo is still not giving up on ARMS. They are releasing a demo for it today and this time it's offline rather than a time-sensitive online-only one.

 

[mario123007]

Literally no said Xenoblade Chronicles 2's designs themselves impact society on a macro level, but rather that they're reflective of some of the current societal issues today.

I see, if you can mention some examples it would help.

And just as easily, it shouldn't be brushed under the rug just because "it's always been like this." That's a logical fallacy, namely the Appeal to Worse Problems, or the "Starving Kids in Africa" fallacy. People should be encouraged to discuss these issues out in the open.

Hold it right there...not trying to argue or anything here but...

"Starving children in Africa" is a serious and whole different issue, how can you put up where people and children are actually dying due to hunger and then a topic that is just something where people are just bothered and does not have a lethal impact on people's lives?

Coming back, agreed with your latter part but when the issue we discuss realistically isn't an actual social issue, especially when we were just simply talking about a fictional character designs in the first place... you may call this moving goal post but I think we are just going off rails at this point.

Spoiler

Very unlikely because the two Blade on the DLC menu don't really look like Fiora or Shulk.

I mean this is just a data, I'm confident that we will get more stuff in the future.

OK, just that you know, there was another leak before this leak that revealed other info on the game. I didn't post it here since I wanted to leave peoples surprised, but since another, bigger leak have been revealed, I guess everyone should have a part of the cake, huh?

So, here is the "old" one. You been warned in advance,

Spoiler

Not sure if Jin will be playable as a driver and a blade. I asked to the discord where it was leak, but I don't think they are 100% sure either.

In any case, I hope you like it. Credit goes to the XB discord.

He's not saying the issues are comparable in severity. Just that saying "we shouldn't speak up about sexualisation because we can never fully stop it" is like saying we shouldn't help starving countries. It's the principle fact that if you want to make a change, we have to speak up and take action.

Sexualisation is never gonna go away as long as humans have sexuality. But we can change how the concept is utilised and how it's perceived.

EDIT: I derped.

whelp, we finally lost on the 3rd of septober, day 17

the two raiders that came in after **** went down basically burnt down all of our production tables and supplies like food, weapons, and materials, yet kept our buildings alive and just left red and shiny alone while they were downed

everyone died, and in order cause of death
@Cure_Lily died by getting beaten to death by a butt of a rifle
The Stoopid Unikorn died by blood loss from bullets found in his lung neck and heart
Natz~ died by infected liver
Opossum died by trauma from being smashed by an elephant
praline died by getting her right arm and shoulder torn off and slowly bled to death
@redfeatherraven died by infected right leg....and infected left leg....and infected right arm, left arm, torso, one of his fingers, and i think an infected foot
and @ShinyLegendary last one to die funny enough by starvation, he lived through his injuries so long on the ground he starved to death

we had **** and terrible luck since we landed, rng was against us the whole trip through, and couldn't catch a break, we actually had to buy wood something that should never be done unless you live in a desert or a iceberg, from my past experiences playing this game, ya i think we just had a bad run, it really shouldn't of gotten this bad this early, especially that wave of raiders

 

[Opossum]

I see, if you can mention some examples it would help.

You watched the video, right? Basically all of that. Designs clashing with the characters' personalities, sexualization heavily skewed toward female characters for a straight male audience, all that stuff.

Hold it right there...not trying to argue or anything here but...

"Starving children in Africa" is a serious and whole different issue, how can you put up where people and children are actually dying due to hunger and then a topic that is just something where people are just bothered and does not have a lethal impact on people's lives?

...You literally don't know what I'm talking about.

The "Starving Kids in Africa" fallacy takes it's name from the phenomenon where people sidestep issues being brought up to say "Why are we talking about this when there are starving kids in Africa?" to try to delegitimize the opposition's argument. It makes it seem like the only problem that exists is the worst one, ignoring the fact that it has nothing to do with the CURRENT problem, or that two issues can arise at the same time.

So by saying "it's worse in things that aren't Xenoblade" it falls into this fallacy. I don't care if other things are worse. It's irrelevant to the argument.

Coming back, agreed with your latter part but when the issue we discuss realistically isn't an actual social issue, especially when we were just simply talking about a fictional character designs in the first place... you may call this moving goal post but I think we are just going off rails at this point.

Just because you don't think it's a problem doesn't mean it isn't one. For many people it is, so it deserves to be discussed without moving goalposts.

yup lol, probably the best thing about rimworld, easy to start a new game no matter what, got all the characters saved and equipment, just need to roll new map and go

won't happen now though, hope to get a few things done in real life and some other stuff, but ya will do take two

 

[Metal Shop X]

God dang it Gwen, you actually did it.

I hope you are proud of yourself.

 

[Deleted member]

Yes, I know these replies are late, shut up Kevin.

This isn't actually true in Xenoblade Chronicles 2's case. Some of the designs are actually made by women.

The infamous Dahlia was actually designed by a woman. She also designed Ursula, who is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

I'm not saying you're completely wrong on your point, but women sexualise women as well.

That may be true but it's not a case of "women expressing their sexuality", it's women having to design such characters to appeal to male audiences. Hell, sometimes it's not even male artists who are to blame, I remember Altera from Fate/GO wore much more clothing(though it's implied she was still pretty skimpy) but the higher-ups said to have her have a more revealing outfit.

To some degree yes, but I never consider sexualization a problem. And I give legit and unbiased point rather than being unreasonable.

Don't act like you're being imparcial when you always bring up the same point "I don't see a problem with it", a completely personal point and no evidence as to why "there isn't any problem". You have given no "unbiased" or "reasonable" points.

I complain because this video is titled as a case study, but his topic on XC2 often leads to subjective conclusions.

I'm not talking about the video, I haven't watched it(though I do plan on doing so), I'm talking about the issue as a whole.

Yes, you don't have to accept but you have to look at it in a bigger scope, and at least try to coordinate with it. Just go straight and bonk it with you head will never get it right in my opinion.

I did "look at it in a bigger scope", I understand why Japan does what it does. Doesn't mean it's okay and that's my point.

Ok... I check Chinese wiki (Which has more info)... this was mostly because she well... made that "*****boat" in Japan... and in real Japan society obviously they don't allow that... even if that artist is a male, the artist will still get arrest and probably get more backlash...

The message she is trying to send is that Japan treats women as objects and that it believes their sexuality belongs to men.
There's a huge porn market in Japan, things that are displayed in what would be considered public areas, and that's not considered "obscene" by them, but when a woman does it, it is. That's the point she was making.

And there are actually male individual made change.org to make a request of releasing that female artist because they think it is "killing freedom of speech." This you put doesn't surprised me at all... or have anything to do with misogynistic culture.

Please don't bring the "not all men" thing here. This doesn't even help your point.

All in all, this a publicly display obscene object problem... this isn't even has to do with video games....

This has to with the way Japan treats women's sexuality, which has to do with fanservice designs in media, which has to do with XC2, which is a videogame.

If you are talking about video games and other entertainment medias... then I get that.

But in reality/ real life society that's far from the case. I mean, yes women still has a lot of need to have their voice heard on many aspects in social life but video games does nothing to harm them.

Demeaning portrayals in media ARE going to harm them. Media doesn't exist in a vaccum that people forget about outside of it, it does affect how we think.
This is why things like positive representation and diversity are so important, because media creates and reinforces harmful stereotypes which is why we have tropes like Scary Black Man, All Women Are Lustful, Damsel in Distress, Camp Gay and so forth. If these continue to be used, then society will continue to view these minorities as such.

Yes, for men that are attracted to those female fanservice to be exact.
Ask women eh? Well, if you talking about those who was never into animes and video games, you may disagree on this but gender doesn't matter because even men who doesn't watch anime and video game will think be disgust on fanservice as well

I have no idea what you were trying to say here.

But this is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 the video was focusing on. It doesn't have much of that... or fanservice that are explicit..

Do I really need to point out how blatant the fanservice is in XC2?

tl;dr
Fanservice designs in video games are not a problem (If you are talking about heavily influences real life btw), and it has nothing to do with misogynistic...

See, this is the exact issue I'n talking about. You keep saying they aren't a problem but you provide no evidence of it, you just repeat yourself over and over again. You take this like a personal attack on XC2 when it really isn't. It's a flawed aspect of the game that should be criticized.

Korean dramas also have many plots that are somewhat misogynistic in a harsh way...

What does this have to do with anything???

Let's just time out for a sec as to why even in modern day where video game is an entertainment, but people complain on the aspect where you can avoid... I really don't get it to be honest...

What

If you don't really like fanservice then play games that don't have that, watch animes that don't have that (It's pretty hard though) if fanservice doesn't cause major social issues, then it's not a problem in my opinion.

But it does cause issues, it continues to normalize the notion of women as objects and the more people simply accept such things, the more common they become. It's a direct reflection of what the people who made those designs think and that shows a problem with their mindsets.

Anime needs more manservice

 

[ChikoLad]

That may be true but it's not a case of "women expressing their sexuality", it's women having to design such characters to appeal to male audiences. Hell, sometimes it's not even male artists who are to blame, I remember Altera from Fate/GO wore much more clothing(though it's implied she was still pretty skimpy) but the higher-ups said to have her have a more revealing outfit.

The thing is we don't know if that's necessarily true with Dahlia. Like I said, Ursula was designed by the same person, and she's just a cute kid with a polar bear. Blades are also abstract enough as a concept to where they can be literally anything so I don't think she would have been pressured to make Dahlia a certain way. I heard the artists were actually given free reign in XC2 for the Blades, it was the main characters that had restrictions.

Torna have to be the most reserved group of characters Tetsuya Nomura has designed for a long time. Well, except for FFXV characters.

The things you mentioned do happen in Japan, but there is no evidence to say that Dahlia's designer was pressured to make her look like that. And considering the theme of her Blade quest, I actually would argue Dahlia was designed how she was as some kind of female empowerment and to send a message.

And from what I've seen, people moreso just think her big hands are weird more than her big breasts.

 

[Deleted member]

Regardless, I think we should discuss bigger problems. Namely, the "what characters can actually defeat Saitama?" issue. I propose characters who could beat him are Merlinus(as already estabilished in my last book "The Gods are Dead, The Battle Between Two Titans Commences"), Ultra Instinct Shaggy(Base Form Shaggy is debatable but UI is for sure), Bartre with the Infinity Gauntlet and all six Infinity Stones and Bugs Bunny(assuming he has full access to his reality-bending powers). In this essay I will
