I was pretty excited since Xenoblade 2 was announced. Even with the anime style, I still remained optimistic overall.

 

The game certainly doesn't look terrible, but something that bothers me are the rare blades in the game. I won't go insane if a character shows off its body, but at times the game does it in a manner more ridiculous than any of the 'controversies' from XCX. Why is there a blade that looks fourteen with only its ass exposed? I get it's such a small part of the game, but to me I fail to understand why this is even necessary. It can't be that difficult to make a female character without having huge tits or flashing any part of its body.

 

Also, this one is subjective as well, but I wish they stuck to a detailed world like XCX. It's honestly my favorite game to just run around and enjoy the atmosphere of a game. I haven't seen much discussion around the overall world however, so it would be neat to see what other think.

I haven't seen any thing like that but I haven't seen 100% of the footage. Could you post pics?

I'm probably the only person who fully agrees with you here.

I have warmed up to the game a lot more compared to how I felt 6 months ago, but that doesn't change the fact that I will be skeptical about how the game itself is until launch, and things like Pyra's character design aren't doing any favors for me at all.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

You know what anime is right?

I dunno. I don't get bothered by fictionalized sexualization.

it's nothing special, it's a part of the japanese culture, where it's very popular

I'm more bothered by their brand of humor this time around from a couple of cutscenes.

No I like unnecessary sexualization.
It gets my imagination going and makes me feel happier.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I'd prefer that they tone down some characters, yeah. They feel a bit ridiculous at times. But... well, I think it's part of their culture so I can get over it as long as the game has a good plot and gameplay.

It's simply a Japanese cartoon. When I say 'anime style', I suppose I'm referencing the stereotypical designs people think of when 'anime' is mentioned. Simplified face features, small nose, larger and rounder eyes, etc.
