Oh, thank the lord you can change the time from the menu.It seemed really weird you could only do it from a rest stop in the Treehouse demo.

 

[ANDS]

Why is every streamer so far playing a female? Lets see some male avatars!

Because the ones shown have looked derpy as all hell. I suppose it's possible to make a passable one. I haven't seen it.

 

[Dice//]

Limited to Nintendo World Store in NY. 300 copies.

Spoiler

I'd be happy to see a line of people legitimately interested in owning this for Xenoblade love and not scalping

*sigh*.

Really? Well that's good news then.

 

[Kinsei]

Ah for fucks sake. Probably the most/only big disappointing things I've seen from the game so far, go figure it had to be this kinda crap.
Not that I'm really in favour of fighting fire with fire (I honestly don't think men/women are fantasized about their bodies in the same way either), but I hope the male teammates get some similar treatment to balance this out..

From everything I've heard the male characters do get the same treatment. The biggest problem is that the girl in that picture is 13.

Apparently you can make Shulk, or someone named it that. Saw it in the screenshot showing off the avatar sharing thing.

[GDGF]

New stream has a nice battle theme going on!

 

[MisterHero]

I think there will be a collector's edition. With an art book or poster lol. Limited to gamestop of course.

I hope they have something in mind. I know Target is offering $5 gift cards for pre-ordering XBCX, but GS hasn't said anything yet

[Chaos17]

UH UH YEAH
that music is growing on me rofl

Edit : RIP solocat. That alligator was too strong for ya.

I'm sure there will be plenty, we just haven't seen many men because there have been mostly teams of women. The one I did see I screencapped

I've seen various swimsuits for women, from pink bikini tops, other designs, and well... That underboob one. One stream had Lyn in a normal pink bikini top while wearing a motorcycle-like helmet and pants.

Give me a window seat. D:

 

[Starwolf_UK]

There appears to be a streamer not only using a male character (I think) but has a Doll too:

Alas I can't really watch the stream as I lack the downstream speed it would appear

Oh wow yes. This guy has a doll!

No, I agree the age is very problematic... what are ya gonna do (and this thread seems half filled with peeps supporting it, so why put up the fight right now).

But uh yay...male partial nudity (it is actually well done and uh 'wonderfully scultped'... especially compared to FF12's Vaan who look bruised > buff )

Nice! "Is someone there? I need a bigger crown." I'm bad at deciphering lyrics, lol.
Edit: Those tiny party members...

This is fucking amazing. Also what is Elma keep shouting? Sounds like Dino Burst

 

[RPGCrazied]

Oh wow yes. This guy has a doll!

His Doll looks cool, and that purple sword. Whoa.

YES! THANK YOU!!

 

[GDGF]

Having the Doll is like an entirely different game. This is so freaking complete.

 

[Dice//]

Maybe it's me losing my love for anime these days (or at least the art styles where the eyes are like a third of the total head height and moe-moe-kyuuuu shit), but I think these "older fella looks" are quite excellent actually.

 

[ivysaur12]

Really? Well that's good news then.

Yeah, one of the streamers went into the menu and was tinkering around. S/he exited out pretty quickly, but it looks like you can do it!

 

[mStudios]

Skells

[Jiraiza]

Wow, I would love to spend the entire game in the doll. Amazing.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

That UI looks like it came straight out of an MMO.

That's because Xenoblade/Xenoblade X is basically a single-player MMO.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Skells

I will never refer to them as that. Dolls, Frame, Gear would be so much better if it has to be changed.

 

[Dice//]

This is seriously the greatest of the latest in gif-ing.

...done very, very right. Eat your heart out [insert recent JRPG here].

 

[chadboban]

Awesome! I'm glad for that. From what I've seen, rest stops aren't really all that numerous so it's good to have these for those specific time of day monsters.

 

[TriBlade]

Does anyone know if there are miss-able quests in this game?

 

[Chaos17]

 

[TheMoon]

Exoskeleton => Skeleton => Skells

Not much weirder than calling humans "homs" in Xenoblade.

Does anyone know if there are miss-able quests in this game?

The game isn't even out yet. We're barely seeing the surface scratched by players from HK who got the game early.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Not going to watch any of it for spoilers, but damn, is this game out in Japan already? And we don't even have a release date? What the actual fuck is up with that? You'd think at this point they'd be experienced enough to know that they should start with localization in due time, especially for a big game like this.

This is seriously the greatest of the latest in gif-ing.

The new version with explosions and stuff is even better.

 

[EndlessSky]

Exploring around in the Doll is going to be so much fun.Love the verticality of the environments. Can't wait for this game.

 

[Chaos17]

 

[ivysaur12]

Maybe it's taking so long because they're removing all of the lyrics from the bg songs in the Western versions!

 

[Chaos17]

Laser beam SWORD!!!!

 

[RPGCrazied]

When does Nintendo show its offerings at E3 again? June what?

 

[-Horizon-]

Poor Lyn. Had to be revived.

And wow, that cockpit mech action. Too bad the streamer didn't stay using that feature longer.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Maybe it's taking so long because they're removing all of the lyrics from the bg songs in the Western versions!

I know you're kidding, but in all seriousness that would only take like ten minutes.

 

[mStudios]

The new version with explosions and stuff is even better.

 

[Diffense]

Maybe it's taking so long because they're removing all of the lyrics from the bg songs in the Western versions!

That would be a shame. No thanks to missing content unless there's a compelling reason.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

I wonder if you can get a cloak for your Doll/Skel. That would be a cool customization option imo.

 

[Renewed]

gif of all time

My reaction when the Noctilum theme went and brought in the flutes and chanting.

 

[Cosmozone]

Getting out of the doll would've probably helped climbing that tree. God I must stop watching.

 

[Nanashrew]

Poor Lyn. Had to be revived.

And wow, that cockpit mech action. Too bad the streamer didn't stay using that feature longer.

I missed the cockpit action D:. Got distracted by weather warning news.

 

[Tidus_Great]

looks good.

a good example of graphics not being everything. I'd be fine if all games looked like this if it came with the quality story/gameplay that xenoblade comes with
