The great debate
XC2 = E33 = Metaphor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quest 64 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rebirth SlopWhat debate?
the one with sexy women wins
>>719444348Metaphor loses then.
>>719444216>debateno debate. e33 is a landmark for multiple reasons. First it's a good game. Second, it's a game that has a heavy focus on gameplay that actrually has good combat (imagine that). And more importantly, it's a slap in the face of the lines of Square enix that literally said a few years back that "good graphics that we have now doesn't go well with turn based combat".The other games you posted are- Persona with a skin- FF7 but worse- anime game 714512755 part 2
>>719444216Thousand year door remake and Mario and Luigi brothership.
>>719444216only one of those is getting a sequel in the next 3 years.
Rebirth gameplay is the most kino and if Nomura didn't shit on the plot it'd be the greatest JRPG ever made.But if we look for the most balanced then it's E33.Metaphor and Xenoblade are mediocre.
>>719444216We already know who the winners are.
Xenoblade 2 and it's not even close
>>719444216Yeah this was settled though.
>>719444216What debate?>top leftGood>top rightGood>bottom leftShit>bottom rightGood
>>719444605is metacritic actually reliable?
>>719444292FPBP
>>719444216Metaphor is good.FF7 remakes are shit.Xenoblade 2 is the worst xenoblade gameNeve played E33.Who keeps making this retarded thread? What do they have in common?
>>719444605Yeah, we know.
>MetaphorFantastic>FF7:RebirthFantastic>XenoshitPure shit>Expedition 33okay, feels a tad insistent of itself
>>719444216Rebirth and xenoblade are the only good games here. Expedition is dogshit garbage for faggot retards. The only people who hate Rebirth are brown khhv manlets.
>>719444864>Rebirth and xenoblade are the only good games here>The only people who hate Rebirth are brown khhv manlets???
>>719444450>Second, it's a game that has a heavy focus on gameplay that actrually has good combat (imagine that).The same level of retardation as people who claim the last of us is the most innovative stealth game ever made. You subhuman fucking monkey.
>>719444927saying e33 has good combat is like saying the last of us is the most innovative stealth game ever made?Stupid moron
>>719444864Mongrel take
>>719444216E33>XB2>>>Metaphor>>>>>>Rebirth
>>719444912Go back nigger
>>719445314Nigger projection
>>719445139Yes, and calling its story well-written is like saying bioshock infinite is a literary masterpiece and an indispensable political treatise. You're a subhuman.
>MetaphorGood game, I liked it>Expedition 33Good game, I liked it>nu FF7I didn't like it and quit halfway through because it was a boring slog>XC2 didn't playthese are the objectively correct opinions because they're mine
>>719444292Meds
>>719444827>this critic loving tranny is still at ittop fucking kek. I admire your dedication but consider ingesting your medicationonly one of the 2 is going to have a GOTY
>>719444864notice this anon will not post his e33 playtime or his arm
>>719444216Japanese Humor > ReCHADtazio > Rebirth > Reddit33
>>719447675yeah
>>719447675Yeah. Xenoblade 2 is basically a shonen anime turned into a JRPG.If you accept it for what it is, it's a pretty genuine and fun game and story.
>>719448089It's only correct if you're a faggot
>>719448089Being reductive never impressed anyone. I'm sure most normies would call all the games in the OP "Weird, boring, weebshit/turn based slop", but that's the midwit's take.
>>719444216FPBP
>>719444216Haven't played E33 but after reading all the 6/10 reviews i'm not interested.Metaphor was ok but disappointing in its setting/themes and music, especially after the greatness of Persona 5.The other 2 are complete rubbish.
>>719444442Galica is the sexiest of them all tho
Daily reminder that your subhuman franchise is doomed.
>>719444216Xenoblade 1 > Expedition > Rebirth > Metaphor
>>719450187>E33>6/10 reviewsnext time make your bait at least 6/10
>>719451407Yeah, subpar experience made for subhumans like you.
>>719444216This thread again?
>>719444216I liked Expedition 33 most for its gameplay and Metaphor most for its story.
>>719451582lol, lmao evenpost arm
>>719444216I prefer the left half of the image to the right in general.
>>719444216I actually do like Rebirth but it's way too obsessed with its open world checklist shit. I got burned out after Costa del Sol because I have a simple desire to always do this open world checklist shit if it is presented to me. I don't even know how much game is left but goddamn.
>>719451921Fan-service annoyed me more.
>>719451641How do you rank them? I haven't played e33 yet, but for me its Metaphor=Rebirth>XB2
>>719452128From left to right, anon.
>>719452128Not him but for me it was XB2>metaphor>e33=rebirth E33 is fine if not overly earnest with a fairly generic story. And no, being overly bleak and grim is not an indicator of quality nor does it make a kid a mature adult for thinking so. Rebirth is nomura unleashing his full autism, which while commendable, what were they thinking
>>719444216>>719444292>>719444786Metaphor Refantazio is absolute putrid dogshit.It's actually insulting that anyone even considers this a respectable JRPG in the year 2025. It has a horrible convoluted Jap story, coupled with braindead combat and mindless fetch quests that make FF7 Rebirth's fetch quests look like high art.
>>719444216For me it's the French.
>>719444864E33 and Rebirth are both great.They actually force you to be engaged in combat. Refantazio has a literal auto-battlebutton which should knock the game down to a 2/10 by principle alone.
>FFcultists and E33cultists seething because Metaphor is better than their shitty gamesLMAO
>>719444216Unironically in good faith I haven’t played Xeno2 and the Xeno games have just never appealed to me. I’m not a fan of combat that looks like it plays itself. In terms of the other 3: EX33>Metaphor>Rebirth I loved all 3 games but Rebirth’s OW is structurally pointless and doesn’t have much going for it. Even though Metaphors world is an illusion I still felt like I was on a much grander adventure because of how it unfolds despite basically being JPEG’s. EX33 is just a cut above both to the point that’s it’s almost embarrassing. Believe me this isn’t a anime bad west good post. Despite my issues with the OW stuff in Rebirth I absolutely loved the game and I loved Metaphor even more. I wanted it to win GoTY (fuck Astro Bot). But EX33 is so fucking pristine that it makes the other 2 games look formulaic in comparison lol
>>719444216Xenoblade 2 has the most going for it, the gameplay systems from the franchise are some of the best for turn-based combat, and it has sexualized cartoon women so it even gatekeeps itself from faggots.E33 is also great, only "issue" is probably the 3rd act feeling underwhelming but it felt great to play from start to finish.Metaphor is Persona but with retarded dialog and writing, it's fine for what it is if you can tolerate the fart sniffing it exudes.Rebirth fucking sucks, replace it with Infinite Wealth if you want to have an honest RPG discussion.
>>719445836Why do /lit/fags come to board for a medium they hate???
>>719444216I loved Metaphor and Expedition 33. Those are the only two I played. Both are amazing in their own ways, and I think which one is better just depends on your personal preferences. I haven't played any of the Xenoblade games after the first one, but I plan to now that I have a Switch 2. I don't know if I'll play Rebirth because I didn't like Remake, but I may have come into it with the wrong mindset so I probably owe it another chance.
>>719451582Who the fuck reads bad reviews to see if they’ll like a game lmao
>>719446014>I didn't like it and quit halfway through because it was a boring slog I wish I took this advice with the unfinished metatroon I want my time wasted on that flop back
>>719444216Isn't a debate. E33 is a generational game. The others aren't, but their fanbases need to cope somehow and engage these threads.
>Isn't a debate. E33 is a generational game. The others aren't, but their fanbases need to cope somehow and engage these threads.
>>719446014>these are the objectively correct opinions because they're mineFuck I can't refute this
>>719454492Oh no!
>>719454648>westerns have shitty taste as usualBaby's first ironic weeb RPG.

>>719454648Buy an ad
>>719453969Aerithfag manlets being raped into the dirt is why Rebirth is the best game of the four and it's not even close
>>719453969>parryslop 33>pristine
>Just completed Xenoblade 3That was definitely something. I went through all that trouble to unite the Colonies just for half the universe to fuck off. So the entirety of the game was playing technical support for Tora's broken machine?
>>719457432It's more just playing antivirus for Klaus's three game long fuck-upBut yes
>E33>has pacing shittier than an indonesian porno>the most unimaginative "innovation" to turn based gameplay possible, literally the first idea that every faggot college kid in game design school would toss out at a game jam - muh parries>92 opencritic, which is somehow the highest score in this shitass year>hailed as one of the greatest games of all time by literal monkeys that are unironically dumber than people who think captain america is the greatest political film of all timegaming will always be the medium with the lowest standards because it's overrun with retarded tourists who hate actual gaming and only want to participate in gay online "communities" and feel like they're part of a movement in order to distract themselves from how directionless their real lives are. none of the established, self-respecting forms of entertainment/art/media have their default set to such a pathetic plebeian self-hating state of being.
>>719444216If Xenoblade 2 didn't have as annoying of a gacha mechanic and I could get the Blades I want in a reasonable amount of time it would have been on my top 3 RPGs of all time.
>>719457849Same except even with the quirks that annoy the fuck out of me like the gatcha or the shitty not Pokemon HM system, I still kind of love the game as a whole. >>719457639This is the way I'm describing XC3 from now on. Although now I get to start Future Redeemed. I loved Torna so here's going the DLC can redeem this game.
>>719457771I’m not gonna read the rest of this but whatever media you like is gay and retarded and worst than video games.
>>719448018*turned into a gacha
>>719453590>auto-battle in a SMT gameLmao youre getting fucked>>719456762Dont exactly understand what you mean by this since i dont lurk on Rebirth threads, but wasnt Rebirth a heavy Aerith pandering game and did the most it get could get away with without going balls to the wall with stuff like reviving her outright?If anything i think Rebirth blew its load WAY too early with the Cloud & Aerith vs Sephiroth fight, that should have been in the end of the remake trilogy, which makes me think they dont have faith that there will be a third one at allAeriths "triumphant return" should have been in the end of the 3rd game to have way more impact
>>719444216>>719444292Rebirth > XC2 > Metaphor >>>>>>>>>>> western slop>>719444348Rebirth then

>>719450320
I'm taking Rebirth for the wealth of content and interactivityThere is so much game design and quality that it simply outweighs the restE33 and Metaphor are excellent, E33 is definitely the best "original" RPGXenoblade is fucking cringe and the combat is shit, I don't care about the mystical storyline when everything is tasteless
Rebirth is basically a showcase of everything that's shit about modern videogames. Nobody would like it if the cast of 7 weren't in it.
>>719444216Rebirth is the worst here by a lot!
>>719444216I've beaten and enjoyed all four.FFVII Rebirth > Metaphor = Xenoblade C2 > E33.
>>719444216Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the only one I care about
>>719444216XC2>>>>>>>Metaphor>>>POWER GAP>>>>Final Fag Reslop=Dessendre Netflix drama
>>719464953Quite possibly the most mentally and morally bankrupt ranking list i have ever seen in my entire life.
>>719460178This>>719465405Your whole life is dedicated to dedicating a shit game, your opinion is worthless. You can't judge anything fairly because you're blinded by loyalty to an IP. "Morally bankrupt" to like other games over rebirth, go fuck yourself lmao
Xenoblade 2 is trashXBC1, XBCX and XBC3 are masterpieces but XBC2 is cringe garbage shit
>>719444216>Xenofags
>>719444216>Highest user-rated game of all time by a significant marginThe people have spoken. /v/'s irrelevant voice holds no value.
>>719444216Why are weebfags latching onto Expedition 33?
>>719444216What the debate? The game that's hardest to discuss on /v/ because of rampant shitposting and pure hate?
>>719466373>ctrl + F xeno, immediate hate and freak out over it being thereCase and point.
>>719444216Why would anyone buy metaphor when FATLUS are known to make definitive editions of the same game a few years down the road? I'll wait for it and see if they fixed the flaws of the original.
>>719444216Obviously E33. How is this even a debate? Ignore all disingenuous haters, for they have the shittiest of tastes.
>>719444216Only played Rebirth. Didn't finish. My opinion of it is so bad I won't ever play the others.
>>719444216>Xenoblade 2 instead of 3Oh no no no
>>719444216I only played Xenoblade 2 so I pick Xenoblade 2. I will get Metaphor and 33 someday cause they look interesting.
I would say SMTV:Vengeance, but playing almost everything again the same in the new path was boring, so it's Fire Emblem Engage for me.
>>719444216Damn there is nothing to debate here reallyXenoblade 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dogshit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FFVIIRB>MRP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jewdition33
yes
>>719467973Based. Only good game on the list. Metaphor is worse Persona (which is worse Megaten which is worse EO), FF7Reshit is an insult to all life on Earth, E33 is FFXIII except with worse combat, a worse story, worse looks and infinitely worse setting. At least the corridor levels had a minimap to tell you not to try to look for depth where there is none. One big thing I'll give to shit33 is it finally showed me why a jump button is the worst idea on the planet to out in a game like that.
>>719466868>Ignore all disingenuous haters, for they have the shittiest of tastes.I have yet to see this proven false ITT kek
>>719444547This surprisingly made me laugh.
>>719444686When it aligns to my opinions, yes.
>>719444216E33 stopped being good after Act 1, while the others on the list at least had something going for them later on, so it's definitely last. The story was atrocious and childish too. This is a battle of wet noodles though, Rance X mogs all of them.
>>719444216Only one of these games is well written (the one written by white people).
>>719454289 me
>>719470079>white The asian redditor is white? Lol, lmao even.
Remake is actually better than Rebirth.
>install rebirth female nude mods>game instantly becomes 11/10It's that simple.
No one talks about E33, it's shocking. Finding an active thread is cancer. I'm convinced its just a psy-ops at this point. By the time it's 2026 no one will care except for women.
E33 2025 GOTY
>>719444216The only one I've played is E33.So Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is my guess
>>719444216Metaphor > XC2 > E33 > Rebirth
>>719472141Probably yeah. The only truly great game released this year is KCD2, but it will never win any awards because it scares the hoes away.
>>719472605And gay sex.
>>719467801Vengeance was so good. Played it 3 times >>719458575>>719444216Xenoblade 2 was the worst blade in the series. It needs a remaster with a huge QOL overhaul to make it good. Its a 6/10 game
