He is? i thought they changed artists for the one that worked on the other Xenogames.
It was mentioned a few times here,
The faces are weird but im not sure its only for the art direction, doesnt make sense to have different looking humans with small eyes at the same time, probably they use most of their polygon budget at the scenary and the characters are low priority, like Xenoblade, and they are not very good at modeling human faces.

Well, either way, the characters look close to their respective styles of art
Xenoblade
Xenosaga
I don't have much of a problem with the faces. I do however think that characters with stronger facial features (not sure if I'm using that term correctly) tend to look better in the artstyle Monolith decided to go with. Like Van Damme
and this other guy
and the created MC from the gamespot E3 demo

Because Elma does look completely fine. The only actual problem is Lyn.

I think the bottom is from namco vs capcom afaik and was not drawn by Tanaka despite the close resemblance
Some of his (fantastic) artwork:

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
rhandino's avatar especially shows how pretty good her character design is.

I hope that they won't just be reprinting the stuff on the website for a print audience. That's always a possibility.

That's honestly most of what I expect, sans the interview.

Can't wait to read the whole interview ^^. In Takahashi we trust.

I loved the character designs in Chronicles. They fit their world. The characters in X have a tendency to look too doll like, which is a common problem when translating the most common anime styles directly into 3D. Actually, that's not a problem in and of itself, it's just that these doll like characters are placed in worlds done to a higher level of realism, which makes them stand out. This problem is then compounded by other characters also done to a higher degree of facial detail and you get this uncomfortable setting with multiple art styles sitting next to each other that don't fit together. X looks great, but the art is inconsistent. The environments and some of the characters work together, but the faces of many of the female characters are too simple and egg shaped, thus making them look more like dolls than people.

Not bad, Xenoblade was large, but this is huge.
I did say before that I expect to finish this game in 300 hours. Looks like I'm not too far off if that's Takahashi's final play time lol.
Looks like you guys Will be playing Zelda on the next Nintendo home console by the time i'll be Able to finish XenoX,i'm fucking slow at playing games.
:O
I still can't fathom it being 5x bigger than Xenoblade. This game is going to take a massive chunk of time.

Took me about 100 hours to beat Xenoblade, but that's with all the quests. But man between this, zelda and witcher 2015 is going to be crazy
-Xenoblade was traditional RPG, whereas XenobladeX is an open world RPG. Xenoblade was linear despite having big world. XenobladeX you will get quests from different places and have more freedom.
-Xenoblade had 1 vocal song at the end, but XenobladeX has many vocal song. (Many for RPG)
-Mira is 400km^2 which is 5 times Xenoblade. So there is Dolls which can fly. Also you can check your location via gamepad
-Battle system is based on Xenoblade, but it's faster paced and more action packed.
-4 player party, you control 1 and AI controls the rest.
-number of unique monsters and equipments have increased from Xenoblade.

The world is huge! I wonder if this is the biggest open world game ever?
I am sure there are a lot bigger open world games.

Xenoblade Chronicles X's world is 400km^2. If it were a country it would be the 60th biggest in the world by land area (Bigger than Japan, Germany and the UK).
Yea, I think I will join them and hope I can choose between black, white, red and blue. Also, I might make my character look like Albedo.
