I'm confused. Passing because of character designs is fine, but I'm not sure what you mean about the gameplay. This isn't turn based.
He's saying that if it were a full on ARPG where you controlled every action of your character then it would excite him. More like Bayonetta.
Instead, it's time based in the way you use powers and stuff. Like WoW.
Yeah, the combat is very MMO-like, cooldown management and such. Some people can't stand that style. I like it if it's done well.
Amazon's got preorders for this up for $48 right now. I'm tempted, but I don't feel confident enough to preorder this one.
Sounds like things really are wrapping up for XC2.
We'll see. Music production has always felt like something that could be done in parallel with the rest of development, so I wouldn't necessarily use it as a gauge of progress on the overall product. Still, that's great news and I definitely look forward to putting the OST in the music rotation at work once it's out.
Somehow I wasn't following this thread but I should be.
Loved the first game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Might Be Switch's Next Great RPG - PAX 2017
The Switch already has a great RPG?

Zelda is a JRPG.

Dammit, I forgot I'm in a Nintendo thread, where it's 70% tangent arguments.

Don’t expect to just tap the A button over and over to win battles here, especially against tougher enemies.
Of all the cliches of JRPGs, this one maybe bothers me the most, because it's the least accurate for most of the genre.

I was trolling shoptroll. "Zelda is a JRPG" is a well-worn and very, very tired argument.
You'll note I didn't respond to it. Thanks for jumping on that grenade Chaz
Sorry about that.

Yes, but who really plays anything other than Square-Enix published RPGs?
This is primarily a dig at the IGN writer who lacks the genre knowledge to know that cliche is bunk, and less at Square/Enix designs
You make me cry, shop. I sentence you to playing the most significant JRPG of the last decade: Dark Souls.
Did Dark Souls skip the JRPG thread because it deserved its own thread, or because it's not a JRPG? #HeadlineClickbait
Pre-orders up on Best Buy.
Nothing on Amazon yet.
Will probably pre-order on Friday. I keep forgetting if Best Buy charges you immediately or holds off until release day. My gut feeling is immediate charge since I use PayPal through them and also get an e-mail from PayPal when doing a pre-order.
Part of me wants to preorder, and part of me wants to wait for impressions. I got burned pretty bad on the UI for XCX making it essentially unplayable for me..
The problem with the XCX UI was the font size, which as far as I know, wasn't scalable. Because of the tiny font size, I couldn't read it on my 60" TV when sitting on my couch without squinting, and it was also too small to play on the gamepad. Not being able to read text in a text-heavy game makes it unplayable.
I'm hoping that they account for that in the new game, since that was one of the major complaints against XCX, but I'm not laying my money out until I hear for sure that it's fixed.
