I'm here to settle the debate: this game is definitely anime. Specifically, it's... remember that time in I want to say the early to mid 2000's where there were a zillion "a boy and his best friend, the magical fighting pet/robot/spirit" anime? Even Mega Man got in on it. Anyway, this game is like that but you can also gently caress the Pokemon.

hamburgers in pockets posted:Why have I seen zero mention anywhere that Pyra has the loving Zohar on her chest? It's honestly completely meaningless as a design. The lifeholds in XCX were also designed to look like Zohar and had absolutely no connection to it.

Infinitum posted:idgi XCX's music transitions were terrible and you ended up hearing the first few seconds of certain songs 90% of the time you heard them at all. Tyberius posted:English version of the character trailer The voice acting is not very good overall. Rex and Pyra in particular sound awful. Especially Pyra's "Reeeeeex" yell in that trailer. Zeke sounds like Reyn's VA. Heropon Replacement sounds alright too. OST should be good at least. I'll probably swap on Japanese voices and use subtitles like I did with DQH.

Usually if I'm already playing a game in English I actually favor the dub, unless there is something wrong with the experience. This feels like one of those times.

With the sound options, it seems possible to turn the subtitles on and the voices to zero?

I thought Rex and Pyra sounded fine. Also the music sounds awesome so far. http://polsy.org.uk/play/yt/?vurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7qutJXQrqoM http://polsy.org.uk/play/yt/?vurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcHOVDqCeStI MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Nov 27, 2017 |

English dub sounds fine to me, though honestly I plan to play through it a second time in Japanese because I doubt all the battle chatter/post chatter will be subbed.

I honestly don't even remember the Zohar's meaning in the actual game they were prominent in, so I guess that's just this director's signature symbol or something. Weren't they basically like the Monoliths from Space Odyssey 2001?

I don't think we know enough yet if it's going to suck or not. If you really were just a die-hard fan of the general world systems of XC1, then you'll probably like XC2 since it's trying to be like that, and less experimental than XCX. But there was more to it than just gameplay when it comes to XC1 vs XCX, and we have no idea how those other things will pan out for XC2.

The Zohar is a "phenomenon shift machine". If a person's able to interface with the Zohar, and wants/wishes for something particular to happen, the Zohar works on manipulating possible outcomes (or "phenomenon" as the game lore calls them) until the desired phenomenon becomes reality.

Rex sounds like a drat Scouser or something and it loving owns. Also, I'm still bitter that they didn't release a spinoff of the first one called The Story of Riki.

LeSquide posted:Have they said how many blades there will be, total? dozens of unique ones and theoretically infinite variations on the generic ones iirc.

As far as titty-centric Blades go, I think the one with the giant arms is fine. It at least has a gimmick beyond "big ol titties"

I like this one a lot, seems like a throwback to Telos's design. Also hope these Blades will be my friends: ALSO, if you care for Easy Allies, they have a 30 minute non-spoilery preview chat about the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7AVyFonZgw (starts about 30 minutes in if I butcher the link) Dude says it's one of his favorite jRPGs ever and that if you like XC1 you're almost certain to like XC2.
