Why are people going mental about the lack of scifi based on the trailer?
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was shown off and for like 75% of the game is pure Steampunk fantasy until you reach the World Tree and Morytha and the game becomes scifi all the way through to the end.
Trust Takahashi. I'm just glad we're getting entirely new enemy designs and a more high fantasy inspired world, nice break from the original trilogy moving into a new trilogy.

>>741144360(OP) >Trust Takahashi Why should I? XC3 and XDE were trash.
>>741144360(OP) >lack of scifi There was no lack of it; the playable area shown was blatantly a Bernal Sphere-type space colony, and there was the prow of a crashed spaceship sticking up from the 'ground', in a crater. It wasn't even subtle.
>>741144595 And yet people are complaining, we've gotten to the point anything less that an a protag with a lighsaber riding on the USS Enterprise does not count as sci-fi.
Hiding it like Xenoblade 2 made for one of the best twists in a JRPG

>>741145268 The MC's name isn't Eleanor in the leak.
>>741144763 >what a tweest!!! honestly, it was lame as fuck, especially watching that retarded giant robot animating at 15 fps in the background while you ran away. XB2 had nice character designs for the blades, but the animation budget plummeted because of that and the overall setting was basically just bionis leg except stretched over the course of an entire game.
>>741145334 you're right it's Elsa/Eliza, close enough

>>741145268 >>741145389 Leak doesn't call her Eleanor though. Plus it has a lot of details that don't really match what we've seen. It's much more likely that it's just an earlier concept than the actual plot of Genesis.
