Interdimensional Observer Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 1 minute ago, Armagon said: That "origami" reminds me of this, a Shikigami: "A type of demon gods used since ancient times in Japanese divination. There are many different types of Shikigami, some taking the form of paper, others of elements, and still others of various monsters and demons. They cannot be seen by ordinary people, and possess the ability to change themselves into many shapes. The famous diviner Abe-no-Seimei commanded the so-called Twelve Divine Generals, the most powerful of all Shikigami. Besides carrying out secret missions for Seimei, these Shikigami also performed various everyday tasks for him. The Shikigami commanded in the Izanagi school of divination practiced in Kochi on the island of Shikoku is called Shiki-Oji, and is said to be extremely powerful." In both SMT and Warriors Orochi 3, the two times I've seen the term "Shikigami" used in video games, it was as papercraft beings. Mayhaps the new guy could conjure up a shikigami once or twice?

Punished Dayni Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 There's a Minister for Salt in TS. I propose we have our own. 29 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Yeah, it was an interesting decision to make choosing that one, if they do have other projects on the queue. Though honestly, this one was bound to be the one finished first since they could just Asset Reuse to speed things up.

I thought it was stated here that PS3 emulation is only in the beginning stages (relevant as being sorta comparable). But then the Wii U can natively run Wii games, maybe the programming isn't that different. Ninty emulation is usually ages ahead of PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Ok time for the world: Aionois, which is very clearly Alrest and the "onis" naming scheme of Xenoblade 1 fused together. In these shots we can see The cliffs of Gaur Plains This fucking gorgeous shot in which we can see the mouth of Uraya. But more interestingly, Noah is walking on the finger tip of the Fallen Arm The geography is very Xenoblade X-like. Same place, though the rust suggests thousands of years have passed. What remains of Sword Valley, and you can also see the tail of Gormott there. The ancient hand of the Mechonis is still holding onto the sword. The Fallen Arm has turned into a desert. ....Monolith Soft. Please for the love of God tell me those are Collection Points and not Item Spheres. This feels more like a mix of Oblivia and the floating structure of Cauldors. Ziplining huh. Once again, another suggestion that this world is more massive than it appears. Honestly, i think this is gonna be an appeal of this game. Seeing sights from the previous game, transformed by the passage of time. Uraya is deceased but do it's people live on? Does Fonsa Myma still exist (renamed probably) or is it all just ruins now. GODZILLA Yeah so this game is incapable of being bad. And once again, there's that Xenoblade X influence. That's an absolutely massive creature. The Squoods in Xenoblade 2 are pretty big but they were also localized to like one specific area. The fact that Godzilla over here is just chillin'. We could be seeing more similarly-sized creatures, perhaps even bigger. Like right here. And those dark clouds or whatever are reminiscent of Fog Beast particles. This plays is likely Colony 9, however many thousand years into the future. 8 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Mayhaps the new guy could conjure up a shikigami once or twice?

I am well aware of Overdrive. Although I never went any bigger than a Sylooth or Xe-dom when it came Overdriven giant slaying. And technically, the first time would possibly be the optional desert area at the end of Xenogears where you were expected to fight rather large dragons on foot. Not sure if that qualifies.

Xd Honestly, how real do the worlds in XCX feel? When I first played, every creature roaming around felt like they belonged exactly where they were. I got that sense of "fear" of being a weak creature on a alien location, when traveling the world. Every area feels unique and no sight of reused assets and whatnot makes it special and amazing every playthrough imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the time, wildlife doesn't care about Man. Having indigens fight each other would make it feel more lived in. No reason XC can't do it if FFXIII made it happen on the PS3. And nitpick- the millesaur entry says they lay eggs, I would've liked to see them. I wouldn't mind if the afterthought flavor text of the various species was taken more seriously and shown ingame. The Ganglion bases could've consisted of more than guard towers too, that was their problem. Prone and Marmucks gotta eat, toss a kitchen or mess hall in there somewhere.
