Cinematography sucks due to the camera angles in in-game cutscenes tend to focus on breasts alongside the fact that changing to a different camera shot counts as motion so a different camera shot makes breasts jiggle.
Tbh, I have no idea what does this mean besides that breast jiggles in some cutscene in the game are annoying, but fair enough. I actually do found them bothersome from time to time...
Heck even in just dialogues you will see some female blades breast jiggle whenever they move...
The writing can be inconsistent with the game itself in terms of sex appeal with Pyra saying that Poppi QTpi needing more modesty despite Pyra's outfit and Brighid criticizing Tora for constantly being horny despite Brighid often being placed in camera angles that show off her boob window.
Are you talking about that HtH? First HtH you mentioned that's only your take on it so I have zero comment on that, take it whatever you will.
Next HtH, There is inconsistent I agree... ONLY that's because of the localization alter the orignal Japanese dialogue, Tora was indeed horny because Brighid saw Torna
had a skimpy bikini for Poppi...(Jump to 4:23 of the video)
Combat is very different from the original to the point X resembled the original more despite 2 supposedly being for people disappointed by X.
Yeah, XC2 combat system is very different compare to X, whether it is better or worse it is totally up to you. Complaints on XC2 combat was taht you can't auto attack while moving around. As for XC2 is "for people disappointed by X?" Not sure where does this statement come from besides that XC2 was build on the same engine as XCX, and XC2 was for the fans who want a more story driven Xenoblade like the first one. But that's just me.
No more custom clothes which is very disappointing as it was a thing in the prior games with X making big improvements on that.
Exactly, I have the same complaints as well even to this day... unless you didn't purchase the expansion pass and have those outfits after playing enough challenge mode in order to get those custom outfit. That being said, a well complaint right there.
Voice acting can be rather off for lots of the game with Rex resembling Black Clover Dude as he shouts a lot.
That's Asta from Black Clover, and in my opinion Asta's Japanese VA is as worse as Rex's English VA... not sure on Asta's English VA though lol.
Getting Blades uses a Gacha esque system so of you want a specific blade you saw and liked, you need luck.
Yes, literally luck in both the game and the system... once you get up to one rare Blade left that isn't a blade-quest-to-obtain Blade... you have to like release some Blades and leave the Blades with the same element as that rare Blade you haven't got... and then use the correct Boosters before resonating the core crystal. That being said, it still NEEDS LUCK! I remember it took me until 2018 March to get my last RNG Blade KOS-MOS.
If you forgot something or want to learn something in the first game, there's a handy dandy tutorial option that's charming and lets the characters teach you how stuff works. If you want to relearn something in this game, you need to buy hints, which I find rather punishing as I could have used that money elsewhere.
Another well complaint, glad they fixed that in the Torna DLC
Tora is an absolute creep and showcases how bad the sexual humour can get in this game. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to LIKE my party members after all.
Not really, but I admit, Tora is an unlikeable character even for a Nopon. But his backstory was really good imo, not sure where's that sexual humour you were mentioning on Tora (There's one on Nia when she said "One Eyed Monster")
The Affinity Chart used to provide for so much world building by showing you NPC relationships but now it's just your Blade skill tree which sucks as it makes me want to do less sidequests as that could fleshen out the NPCs and world more.
Then you really should buy XC2 Torna DLC instead of the main game lol. It has that affinity chart, still I think the Blade affinity chart is ok, and it powers up your Blade too.
Oh, and the art style just looks uncanny as hell. Elma looks surprisingly good in it to be fair
I respect your opinion but I still think the art style is better than XC1 and XCX, that being said, Elma looks slightly better in XCX. Shulk and Fiora though... something odd with their look was their eyes I think..
