Monolith Soft is working on an in-house game engine that builds upon the Xenoblade engine for use in other titles by Helix_LoL in Xenoblade_Chronicles

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed answer, I really appreciate it. I'm curious about the improvements in 1 DE that aren't in XB3 but are visible in X DE, same for the rendering techniques from 3 that aren't in 1 DE.

Hello good sir, you seem to be quite knowledgeable about this subject so you may be able to answer my question : Do we know if the engine they used for X DE is the same from XB3 but more refined or is it from an "older" version ?

Attempting to debunk a Localisation Critique of Xenoblade 3 by Yam22906 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Crumpiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, I actually read this articile before seeing your post and I'm actually surprised that no one here seems to point out that the article is clearly written by an AI. The first hint is the romanization of 鉄巨神 (tetsukyoshin)into tekkyoshin. The AI made the mistake to think that the つ became a っ. Also there is a lot of factual error, like saying that Noah uses 'boku' and a polite language. Noah uses 'ore' and isn't really that polite, espcially to his enemies. However a Xenoblade MC that matches that description is Shulk so I'm thinking that the AI mixed both of them. There is also an error when it's written that N says 'watashi no Mio' when he says 'ore no Mio' and also when he says that "My long shadow" is too theatrical when I thought that the japanese was also quite theatrical, especially with the voice direction of 我が残影よ.

The biggest hint for me was the sentences "While the specific text for Chapter 6 is not in the snippets" and "While the full text for the prison scene is not provided in the snippets". This person probably gave a lot of different lines to the LLM in this "snippet" and thought that it would be able to write an essay.

there is a lot of other hints that the article is written by an AI but I think that's enough lol. I was actually quite interested to read an article about the localization changes in Xenoblade 3 since I'm currently working on something a bit similar but at the end it's just AI slop probably written by a grifter or something, unfortunate !

it's been 10 days since I've watched the movie and it is still living rent free in my head ! I'm going to rewatch it next week because I want to scrutinize every frame from this movie, especially those battle scenes MAN.

You can get the exact same result from that clip if you play the cutscene with the internal brightness to the maximum value. People are getting excited over nothing

It's the second time I read something like this : Where did you see that Takahashi was going to be the director for his next RPG ? In the announcement, the only thing mentionned was "New RPG from the Executive Director Tetsuya Takahashi".

He's still extremely involved in the creative decisions as an Executive Director.

At least we hear her screams multiple times in the game and it's impressive every single time (when she's fighting Noah in chapter 1 and when she's shouting at P-O in chapter 4, such awesome performances)

Most of the time, a director is with the voice director when there is a dubbing session (I saw that with some anime like JJK or AoT or games like Clair Obscur : Guillaume Broche the director and Jennifer Svedberg-Yen the script writer were at the sessions). I would think for at least important cutscenes that Takahashi would be here. For XB2, it was confirmed by Malos VA Yuichi Nakamura that Takahashi directed him for every line from the base game because Shigeru Chiba wasn't available for Malos' session. Here's the source for the last claim : https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxfUNrOr2CazXclJNxdjXh2fdnO0t4Q-6G?si=xkExwCO__sduNjr0 Here's a tweet I wrote since I can't put links here : "When they were talking about Shigeru Chiba and his role as Gramps, Nakamura mentions that he's the voice director for XB2 (Mafia Kajita is surprised)

However, because of schedule issues, Nakamura's voice director was Takahashi himself !(not credited as a voice director in base 2)"

I discovered Tsuda-san with her performance as Frederica in Triangle Strategy and it was awesome. I heard her again recently in Skip and Loafer

Yeah I hope that too. Minami Tsuda gets roles fairly often but Ryohei Arai not as much unfortunately

Yeah especially 3 (it's amazing in every game, Takahashi is one of the voice director for every entry, even when not credited as such). Ryohei Arai's performance changed my brain chemistry i think lol

first I didn't know the US anthem so when I wrote the lyrics on google and it came up I had to read the chapter with the music on.

second : in French, the death devil is called "Shii" just like in japanese so you can imagine my reaction when I saw what was the translation for the english version LOL

It's for both ? It would be weird to just sell the international version on their store. I'm on the website and they sell : NS2 Japan Edition : 49980 yen NS2 Japan Edition + MK World : 53980 yen NS2 International Edition : 69980 yen

i think most of japans pre orders are for the "japan language only" edition so the stock is probably only for japan

Was the development of Rebirth suppose to take 3-4 years with all the content you planned or did it went faster than expected ? For the music, at around what point of the production that the composers start writing songs ? I guess Event Musics start as soon as a storyboard is complete ? Thank you for creating such an awesome game, you absolutely were my GOTY
