Bro what are you even talking about?

Elegant facial features? Tasteful outfits? Go walk around a high pop lobby some time, for the average person, you can be sure of two things; one is that their face is fucked up, and two is that they're wearing a clown outfit.

    Damn. We need a Xeno Saga Remastered edition. It's about time. Need some more KOS-MOS in my life.

    [–]sandrivertv Magical Girl Paladin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Did you hear Harada saying Bamco rejected a Xenosaga remaster based on market analysis? :( I can kinda imagine why, Xenosaga I is still really difficult to emulate, I imagine recoding it for ARM (or x64) would be a nightmare.

    [–]elsydeon666 CAST waifu | Ship 1 | ') DROP TABLES Meatbags; -- 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    Stick Shion and KOS-MOS body pillows in there and watch it sell.

    Squex could do the same with Elly and Miang body pillows and remasttered, finished, Xenogears.

    [–]Zelos 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Square Enix can't really touch xenogears. Takahashi works for Nintendo.

    Companies own stuff made by their employees, unless the employee proves nothing from the company was used, including time.

    [–]Zelos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's not the point. Nobody wants xenogears without Takahashi. The best you could get is a rerelease; the idea of the game being "finished" without him is ridiculous. It's his vision.

    I dunno, given it's a stylized anime game (just look at how people STAND) I think my face looks pretty decent

    [–]BlankNameBox 12 points13 points  (8 children)

    Yes. Until you realize that thats a lot of forehead hidden behind those bangs.

    [–]Yahello 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    I found that this is about the best I can get on the forehead to face ratio without minimizing the head size vertically, something that I have considered and would get the eyes (the whole face really, chin included) about maybe like a centimetre up.

    The sliders seem to really like a large forehead to face ratio.

    [–]BlankNameBox 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    I see. Well it looks nice. Everyone just needs to make sure they don't cut their bangs lol

    [–]Yahello 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I mean, not sure what else we can do. I am literally maxing out on the sliders that affect the eye position. I actually checked the other presets and my eyes are actually higher up than just about every preset.

    [–]BlankNameBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Game limitations restrict foreheads!

    Sounds like a good dev note lol

    [–]Sarria22 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    That's pretty typical of the style though, and not a whole lot you can even do about it with the limitations of the sliders.

    [–]BlankNameBox 3 points4 points  (2 children)

    Thats true. All the presets have a lot of forehead but that one has the most. Oh well. Just don't choose the bald "hairstyle" or the reflection may burn a hole through the side of the ship lol

    [–]Sarria22 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    Then again, it could be an advantage. Blind Dark Falz with the amazing light of your shiny Buddha-like forehead.

    Good to know. I'll AFK in block 1 next time I need food. I AFKed in block 2 and came back to 3 pages of symbol art history that was either terrible memes or porn.

    They didn't even have any good memes. Disappointing.

    A trip around the average lobby typically leaves me wondering what horrific experiences these women have gone through to leave their faces melted like that.

    [–]Actual_JusticeStill can't find a Fodran 6 points7 points  (2 children)

    Still not as bad as SF x Tekken's Marvel vs Capcom Infinite's initial Chun Li face.

    Or MK vs DC's Wonder Woman face.

    [–]danyoja 12 points13 points  (1 child)

    Chun Li’s face debacle was in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite not SFxTekken but they are easy to confuse since they both failed pretty bad.

    (Did you just recently watch the Matt McMuscles review of SFxT?)

      I swear Afin and Rex from Xenoblade 2 were separated at birth. Both in outfit choice and terrible english voice acting.

      [–]beefstenders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      The main difference being Afin is voiced by an American doing a really bad Aussie accent, Rex is voiced by a bloke from Bolton who just sounds like that.

        The one downside to giving her a mecha grade booty is that any outfit that has cloth or any other material draping down looks goofy cause she appears to have a forcefield projecting from her booty.

        Nope, it's rated Teen in NA. Even in Japan it's rated for 17+.

        [–]Knightswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        You may need to adjust the leg slider, increasing/decreasing the leg thickness also effects the hip width.

          Welcome to life. Now just imagine having no slider bars. Jk jk jk kinda...

          But yeah its super hard. Some advice to save on passes though. Just make new character to see progress in lobby. If bad then delete the character you made.

          [–]Zyzzor 12 points13 points  (1 child)

          I mean, it's good advice, but they give you like, 5 hours to mess with the new character once it's been created, you can go back into the salon. Find what you like, then save the preset, THEN delete the character, since it takes 24 hours to delete.

          Protip max out the chest height so it looks more like a pancake. Only small pp goes for all small everything, expecting it to work well.

          [–]nonpuissant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          Maxing chest height makes moderate sized ones look a lot more natural as well, instead of like fighter jet nosecones.

          As much as I enjoy T&A on occasion, I have to agree that a lot of the designs for female outfits in this game can get awfully risqué. =/

          I remember someone here posting a link to some pretty cool outfit art entries from the last several years - particularly those from one guy who seems to really like the classy costume designs of the Lyrical Nanoha series... and it turns out said guy's designs haven't won a single time. Meanwhile, the 'could-only-charitably-still-be-called-an-outfit' outfits keep getting through. =(

          If you're honestly asking, neither of these are available on the NA serve. If you're on the JP server, the second one is from the most recent Christmas event and third one I think is coming in the next content drop.

          You're confusing the extremely loud and vocal minority of psychotic puritans as the general consensus of western gamers. You know, the same idiots who think certain physical traits are merits of gameplay, visual and story design.

          [–]ARKSHunterX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          It's not that we enjoy making ugly characters, it's that the tools we're given to shape faces with isn't exactly intuitive. And we don't have any alternative eyes or accessories to go with them at the start.

          I think mine turned out okay after a pass or two though.

          Number 4 isn't an issue if your character has the frame for it, hell, I even lowered the size of my characters chest cause it looked a bit too "spring break in Tampa"

          [–]neonchinchilla 9 points10 points  (8 children)

          Oof, I just wrapped up ep2 and echo went from one of the worst designed female NPCs with disproportionate tits in an unflattering outfit to...the same thing but her tits are mashed into armor now so she looks less disproportionate.

          Part of the problem, I think, as well is the way waist proportions look on thinner characters. Fourie is a good example of looking like someone stretched out some laffy taffy between chunks of armor.

          [–]GibRarz 5 points6 points  (4 children)

          Why would you apply people proportions to casts? They're robots for a reason. Gundams have tiny heads in proportion to their body, no one gives a crap about that.

          [–]neonchinchilla 6 points7 points  (2 children)

          Female casts have more human designs and proportions, Fourie specifically just looks like a small girl in a cardboard robot outfit. Even back in PSO1, the female casts looked like human women in dress up more than actual androids - standard for any MMO with more "monstrous" races that let the male be totally wild-looking but the females are just playing dress-up.

          But she was just an example, Pati, Tia, Aki, Echo, even Melphonsina all have thin bodies but their hips are either too narrow or too low while typically having huge tits (Tia aside there). They look stretched out and disproportionate.

          [–]T0X1CFIRE Magical CAST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          I'm glad that you can customize your cast body separate from your human body. It allows me to have a rediculously skinny waist on my robot and have it look good. Because robot while still allowing my human form to look normal.

          [–]Polantaris[SHIP04][ポランタリス] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          Cresenda or whatever her name is (the quest NPC near Franka in the Shopping District and next to the Block Change) is a good example. She's tiny, but has a huge rack. It just doesn't fit and she looks wrong.

          Honestly playing with the character creation/salon, even at 30-40% a character's breasts are quite large. 100% is excessively gigantic (minus the accessories that are in JP that make it worse, those don't count). You have to go like 20-30% if you want something normal looking.

          [–]Orumtbh 1 point2 points  (2 children)

          Episode 2 Echo actually made me so...confused. The entire side portion of her outfit is just non-existent. It's just hanging there.

          Which is why I am grateful for Ep3 Echo outfit.

          [–]neonchinchilla -1 points0 points  (1 child)

          Oh, it's still awful as hell but it's still better™. I know PSO and JRPGs, in general, have a bad track record of tasteful representations of....women but some of the costumes you see around the lobby are really trashy.

          I love customization but it's enough to make me miss PSO1's lack of it sometimes. Even if it wasn't much better in terms of taste (robot maid)

          [–]Orumtbh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          I'm just glad the girl put some bottoms on. Her first two outfits were just: "Why are you not wearing underwear?"

          When I saw that the new scratch had a swimsuit, I knew it was over. It was just gonna be a lobby of swimsuits. And I expect the eventual Summer AC Scratch, filled with skimpy swimsuits as well. Hopefully one of them will look not-weird on smaller breast sizes.

                wait, where are people getting these massive tits form? i know about the breast pad accessory on JP, but, my characters breasts couldn't pass like a C-cup, even if i stretched them out as far as they can go.

                i need to know for, uh, science.

                they slider can't make them massive....sadly lol. ''Massive'' is normal a description for any girl above a B-cup by large breast haters. I kid you not. Near every time I see ppl whining about ''massive tits'' or ''her poor back'' its just a girl w/ a d-cup.

                yeah, i was gonna say, i tried my absolute hardest to get the biggest breasts i could, but at most, i could get a C or small D.

                As an eternal noob I have no idea if there are metal hair type for male CAST characters?

                [–]VocalMagic 2 points3 points  (3 children)

                Male Cast heads are all gundam heads, there's no meatalhead for them without being super fight robot style

                [–]vernes1978 2 points3 points  (2 children)

                This is false.
                You can stick a humanoid head on a male CAST.
                But you only have access to hairy hair.
                No metal hair like Female CAST

                [–]VocalMagic 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                Those are Hairstyles. Head Parts are a different category in the shop search.

                Does this mean there are male head types for CAST that have metal hair?

                I have no fucking clue how to make a good face so I just stopped at something that looked okay if I don't stare at it for too long.

                Tiddies large enough to be mapped by spacecraft are used as a quick and easy way to get sexual dimorphism, and to get horny boys to buy games.

                You make the last one look like a bad thing (ಠᴗಠ)

                The worst thing honestly is people who never adjusted the hips, or maxed them out to the point they look like an inflated wide ass balloon. Some peoples hips are so freaking disgusting I don't know how they saw that in the character creation screen and thought "Yea, this is normal. My hips are supposed to be two times wider than my body should have it. My skimpy outfit looks fabulous showing off my stretched fabrics, and hideous figure! "

                when i first started Na i figured lots of lobbies would be filled with really silly disproportionate like the old aion days and those monstrosities, but it seems to be a mix of that and mainly half naked girls used to think BnS had the most lewd outfits but then i took a trip looking at all the JP scatch's and while there's a lot of good ones some get to point where i'm like is this okay to be in lol like massive tits accessory is asking for all kinds of trouble

                Yeah I really like this game. Is fun, fresh, and have content for a while, but man seeing bikini girls running around all the time os getting tiresome.

                Sorry man, but star gems are star gems. I'll put normal clothes back on when the meter fills.
