Xenoblade Chronicles X

oh okay. thats slightly better. whats the total party size?

Party size is 4, with 18 total playable characters (excluding the player, and including the 4 DLC characters).

However, I don't believe they stay in your party at all times, like they did in Xenoblade, so you can't swap your team around quite as freely as before.

It's closer to the .hack games. You form a party from your pool of characters in the starting zone, then venture out. I can't recall but I think you can also bring along some people in reserve.

oh okay

that does sound better tbh.

Lin will be 15 years old instead of 13 in the North American version

I'm not sure this properly addresses the outcry about her skimpier outfits, given 15 is still underage.

Agreed. Slightly less creepy, but still creepy. At least it's possible to just avoid said outfits.

If they had upped her age to 16 then at least they would have been legally safe in most places.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they went with just 15.

maybe her youth comparative to the other characters/ the fact that she is underage

is relevent to the plot/certain interactions and thus cant be raised too high?

Being 16 is below the age of majority, so it would've still worked.

She's supposed to be a KID genius, not a TEEN genius. I think they're trying to keep with that, and 15 is the border in a lot of people's minds.

I probably would have made her 16 since she looks the part.

It's not her age that is the problem.

It's the fact that they gave her such ridiculous clothes when she's only thirteen fucking years old!!!!

No tweaking of her age would even be needed if they'd shown some restraint and not even made those clothes in the first place.

To be honest, she never even looked anywhere remotely near 13 anyway, so this change makes a lot of sense for my hat perspective too.

they're underclothes last i checked. you shouldnt be seeing them anyway unless you take her clothes off.

so just...make her wear clothes and BOOM we can pretend everything is fine and move on with the game

(although honestly, i dont see why they cant just cover more ala bravely default edits)

She doesn't specifically, all the outfits look the same regardless of who's wearing it. I think it's the same for underwear too.

People would cry foul about censorship.

Sixteen is below the age of majority in some places, yeah, but it's the age where you can legally have sex without the consent of a legal guarding in a large chunk of the world. While people would have still complained as they are wont to do, they would have been somewhat safer.

For those waiting, Best Buy apparently has XCX special edition up for sale.

Nabbed it. Wasn't sure for awhile, but I'll be spending at least 100 hours on this, so I don't mind paying a little extra.

Second survival guide is up. Two months left!

I got my special edition reserved, though I'll be waiting until Christmas to play it, so most of you will pass me.

Meanwhile scientists have confirmed that Samurai will use guns in the future.

Samurai have used guns ever since Portuguese merchants crashed onto Japan.

Yeah, I know, but people seem to forget that, especially with the way the dude in the video brought it up.
