Second best, maybe. But getting promoted to admin meant I had to bring out only the best. I'm sure you understand, right?
you know what

I do! You've converted me! What's your hex code, so I can fully realize myself as a follower of the Moydow?

Also this is completely frivolous in the grand scheme of things, but why is Tora sexualizing Poppi when she's, like, ten years old? I saw that heart-to-heart conversation where he was telling Pyra to act more like a maid and made Poppi perform maidly phrases and actions. Does Poppi turn you on, you ****ing creep? I am ****ing disturbed and now I want to detain Tora like



Okay. That's enough Xenoblade Chronicles 2 venting for one day. Sometimes the game isn't great, but the rest of the time, it's pretty fantastic.
Mate, that actually makes the perversion worse. Poppi's adorable but Tora just makes it a horrible relationship. It should be father and daughter, not master and maid. URCH
Worst part is that he was literally lonely after his papa disappeared. it's possible that he made her, but I can't imagine better if it was for his maid fetish,

Definitely a better prospect than what happens when you put a hamster in a microwave in Maniac Mansion.

I'd rather see a Zelda SoulCalibur game than a Fire Emblem one. The characters are more diverse IMO. But if they made a Fire Emblem one I couldn't complain. As long as it has a more diverse cast than Fire Emblem Warriors.
I mean, even then, Warriors offered a diverse enough array of fighting styles for a hypothetical first entry Fire Emblem fighting game. Looking at movesets alone...

Sword Cavalry (Xander)
Axe Cavalry (Frederick)
Archers (Takumi/Sakura/Niles/Anna)
Pegasus Knights (Caeda/Cordelia/Hinoka)
Wyvern Riders/Dracoknights (Minerva/Camilla)
Two styles of Myrmidons (Owain/Ryoma and Navarre/Lyn)
Two styles of infantry Lancers (Oboro for a Naginata style and Azura as a water bending Lance dancer)
Reverse-Grip Sword Dancer (Olivia)
Infantry Axe user (Lissa)
Mage Cavalry (Leo/Elise)
General Magic/Dark Magic Mages (Robin/Tharja)
Light Mage (Linde)
Manakete (Tiki)
Graceful Fencing-styled Lord (Marth/Celica)
Aggressive Charge-In-Head-First Lord (Chrom/Lucina)
Token Basic Style Characters (Rowan/Lianna)
Corrin

That's about nineteen unique movesets to take inspiration from. The only major archetypes missing, really, are Lance Cavalry, Bow Knights, Knights, and Thieves (and Clerics, but they're treated differently within Warriors and are still technically there).

For the purposes of a fighting game, the cast is still very diverse as far as fighting styles go.

I don't think Tora's age has been revealed in the game, and in the first Xenoblade Rikki is stated to be 40 years old and has a wife and kids. So childish personalities of Nopon don't necessarily translate to actual biological maturity :yoshi:

I figured he was under 18 to some capacity. Writing wise, I still don't like it because I feel Poppi could have been more than a servicebot. Do a heartwarming sibling dynamic with her or something. She's adorable. She's a kid robot. Play that up with their relationship.



At least right now. I know she becomes older later.

I honestly don’t think it’s as big of a problem everyone makes it out to be. It’s a worse problem at the start of the game maybe especially when you’re first playing it but


Ehhhh whatever I’m in the minority on this issue anyway lol
Again, it's a small issue in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't kill the overall experience. You know, compared to me getting lost for two hours, Tora is pretty harmless. It's like stubbing your toe. It wont ruin your day, but it sucks when it happens anyways.

Worst part is that he was literally lonely after his papa disappeared. it's possible that he made her, but I can't imagine better if it was for his maid fetish,
Well I can assume the whole maid shtick was Tora's decision. There's a whole interaction on Poppi's birth scene where Pyra notices maid dresses hanging out of Tora's closet and it's not like Tora is against the maid thing. Before that, Poppi was probably just a standard artificial blade that might have seen Tora's father as a, well, father.

It has. When Rex and the gang meet Shulk, Shulk assumes Tora to be around fifty. Tora takes offense to this, and says he's younger than Shulk (who is 18) by "many years".

Listen Bold, if I were to sit down and list every single degenerate fetish that XC2 appeals to, SMTV would've come out in the meanwhile.

Also reminder the knights are the only moveset (I think) in FEW that is enemy units only, you can’t play with the knights moveset.

Rex being 15 gives me more of an internal moral dilemma than Tora being a punching bag cause he’s a perv for like a combined total of maybe 15 in game minutes

I think it's just bad overall writing to make Poppi's character essentially the sex robot. I at least know Pyra and maybe Mythra have backstories and actual character despite their outlandish designs. It might get better later down the line, but it's a bad first impression right now. I've seen Pyra and Nia have actual fleshed out moments. Poppi does not have that right now.

Ah you’ll love the later game
We'll see what happens. If nothing changes later down the line, I probably wont mention it because I made my point already.
