>>723739526Everything from that arc on was so fucking garbage. Before it was quite enjoyable but man does the game take a nosedive once these other characters come into play.

Please keep this thread alive until I get home in about an hour and a half
>black character >no dadwhat did monolith mean by this?
>>723739526I love Ethel.
>>723744637Dad was white and died in combat.
>>723740001All that focus should have gone to ethel, especially since she is arguably the most popular character from 3.
>>723744641Cummuravi came inside that

>>723739526already did and finished its DLC... I haven't played xenoblade 1 though maybe I will later.
>>723745026
>>7237395263>1>2>X is the objective ranking
>>723740623
>>723739526I’ve played each game twice minimum. I just want a new one or Switch 2 patches.The biggest thing the Switch 2 is lacking right now is a big, impressive RPG. Pokemon sucks cock. My personal favorites are 3 and X but I love them all. 1 is probably my least favorite to play simply because I don’t like its combat very much. >>723745217I’m really curious to know your thoughts on 3’s DLC if you haven’t played the entire series. Part of me feels like it would be completely incomprehensible without the full context of the franchise.
I've been waiting for a Switch 2 patch to replay 3 and FR.
3 and FR are foils of each other while also having parallel story beats
>>723739526Bug eyed nigger
>>723739526Im playing 2 and i just found Kos-mos
I was thinking about how the City people basically faught to guarantee their own deaths. The only people that benefited from Origin being released were the Kevesi and Agnians. The City people just ceased to exist after they won.The story could have played with this idea, but they completely left it out. If Shania's betrayal was to stop Oroboros to save the City from being wiped out after Origin was reactivated, she would have been a much more interesting character.
>>723745026No he didn't.
>>723744450You're a fucking retard. Takahashi said in the art book they're all real and will be reborn in the new world.
>>723749726See>>723749875
>>723749875Takahashi can’t even be thematically consistent between games that are supposed to be one big interconnected story. If anything 3 is just the proof he needs to be tard wrangled.
>>723747801I didn’t understand all of the story of the DLC obviously I get that it referenced XB 1 a lot I didn’t get characters like A and alpha but the game did try to explain them a bit. Playing with shulk and Rex together was very cool and I enjoyed the DLC a lot.
>>723745026>>723745367you shiptrannies are so annoying
>>723744525I'm here and I wanted to post this for you all :)
>>723750330To be fair, I’ve seen people who have played the entire series get confused by the A/Alpha thing; there are parts of this series’ narrative that require you to be somewhat autistic about its lore/extended material to have a full grasp of it. It’s something I really hope they pull back on in future entries, even if I personally enjoy it a lot. I can see it seriously hindering people’s enjoyment going forward.I hope you have a good time with 1. It’s a great game. Honestly might be worthwhile to play Future Redeemed again after it to pick up on what you might have missed.>>723750167I think Takahashi’s problem is a lack of revision. 3 has issues that could have been easily resolved with another draft that simply didn’t happen for one reason or another. There has never been a Xeno project that wasn’t compromised in some way, so it would be par for the course. I don’t think he’s going to be wrangled anytime soon. Given that XDE features direct Bible quotes many concepts from Saga, we might actually be seeing him taken off-leash even more.
>>723751123Hopefully he doesn't make another Persona DEI party like he did in 3.
>>723751250What?
>>723751412Don't play dumb.
>>723751446I legitimately have no idea what you’re talking about
Give me ONE reason Xenoblade X isn't the best open world game ever made
>>723751652None. It's open world done right
>>7237514963's party is entirely made of teenagers, like a Persona game. And has forced diversity.
>>723751652The engine is too loud when flying so you can't hear the banger that is Don't Worry clearly
>>723751738It wouldn't make sense for any of them to be anything BUT teenagers in the context of the game. And others are wise beyond their years, like Isurd, Teach, or Alexandria, and people like Monica and Triton are right there too. And also grow a pair or stfu about Taion's skin color, loser
>>723751864>wouldn't make sense for any of them to be anything BUT teenagers in the context of the gameYeah, it's almost like the setting is just inherently shit and shouldn't have been used. >And others are wise beyond their years, like Isurd, Teach, or Alexandria, and people like MonicaLazy fucking writing, they just like wise adults even though they're supposed to be teenagers. It's just dumb and lazy and nonsensical. >also grow a pair or stfu about Taion's skin colorCuck
>>723739526Is that actually an in-game line?
>>723751738>entirely made of teenagersI don’t see how that’s a negative. It fits the setting and works well within the context of the narrative. You’d have a point if the decision felt arbitrary/forced within the story, but I think 3 does more than enough legwork to justify it. If anything, Xenoblade 3 is one of the few games where it makes complete sense for the world-saving band of heroes to be comprised of teens. Besides, it’s not like this is the new standard. Future Redeemed went right back to the series standard having a party consisting of a multi-generational cast.>forced diversityPlease explain your rationale for this claim.
>>723752289>works well within the context of the narrativeIt really doesn't. Making them all teenagers makes them feel more like a Persona party, not a Xeno party. >You’d have a point if the decision felt arbitrary/forced within the storyIt is. You have characters like Teach and Isurd who act like an old veterans and are clearly supposed to be mentors to the team, but they're younger than Mio. >Besides, it’s not like this is the new standardI don't care. It was used in 3 and 3 sucks. >Please explain your rationale for this claim.You know exactly why, don't play fucking dumb.
>>723752263Yes and it's not endearing or funny
>>723752504It wasn't meant to be. She came out of nowhere to surprise Shania
>>723739526
>>723752895Don't care, it's cringe. Shania and Ghondor are both trash-tier horrible characters.
>>723752986>It's not funny >:(>It's not meant to be funny>IT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY >:(((((Who pissed in your Cheerios, my man?
>>723752464>not a Xeno partyYouth has been the Blade series’ narrative shorthand for progress since the first game. Zeke even directly acknowledges this fact at the end of 2. It makes complete sense for a game about stagnation within a series with such a shorthand to utilize it at its logical extreme (trapping youth [progress] in an eternal death spiral and exploring how they endure/escape it).>Teach and IsurdI agree that they’re written to be a little too wise for their years, but you’d be surprised how much people can “grow up” under harsh conditions (especially warfare). One of my friends in high school came from a refugee family, and was one of the wisest people I’ve ever met; he had more lived experience and maturity than most grown adults I’ve met. It’s not entirely unrealistic, though it is uncommon.>don’t play dumbI’m asking you to explain a claim you made. You should be able to justify it with your own words. I’m not a psychic and I don’t want to put words in your mouth. I am trying to be earnest here.
>>723753114>Youth has been the Blade series’ narrative shorthand for progress since the first game.Okay? That doesn't address my argument. No other Xeno game only has teens in the party, that's something that 3 exclusively does. >I’m asking you to explain a claim you madeAnd I'm asking not to be a disingenuous faggot.
>>723753218>that's something that 3 exclusively does.It makes sense based on the world of Aionios. There isn't going to be a random 38 year old man, aside from the City, who wouldn't be part of the main cast anyway
>>723752976Why is Hollywood pushing them and that goblina as the next sex icons?
>>723753347>makes sense based on the world of Aionios.See >>723752062>Yeah, it's almost like the setting is just inherently shit and shouldn't have been used.
>>723739526Already did. It was shit and I want that time back.
>>723753426Replying to yourself isn't a great look. Just saying "I don't like it so it's bad" is what a toddler does.
>>723753470>Replying to yourselfYou're a fucking retard. I was pointing to where it was already addressed, dumbass
>>723753567Where *you* already addressed it. Why is the setting bad? Or rather, why do you dislike it so much?
>>723753682>Why is the setting badBecause the "cycle" doesn't allow any growth or progress or culture to form. It's not interesting to explore from a story or gameplay perspective. It's just trash. And any setting that forces the party to be entirely teenagers, like a Persona game, is a bad move.
>>723739526Stop fucking starting these threads with the shitters from 3 that no one likes. Post Pyra or Mythra to start Xenoblade threads.
>>723753837Hmm, almost like breaking that cycle is the only way to move forward HMM HOW PECULIAR
>>723753218>that doesn’t address my argumentSure it does. The point I’m trying to get at is that 3’s party composition only works as well as it does because of the precedent set by prior games, and the fact that the party is utilized in a very “Xeno” way within the story. Sure, the fact that they’re all teenagers has never happened before, but neither had the entire party being made of sentient android soul puppets (X) or largely ageless living weapons (2). That doesn’t make them bad or “un-Xeno,” and they work for almost exactly the same reason 3’s party does.>disingenuousAgain, I’m really just trying to give you a n opportunity to explain why you feel the way you do. I don’t know why this upsets you so much. I’m not going to agree or disagree with you until you give me a reason to do so.
>>723753897>it's bad on purpose!!!I bet you love Kojima and Druckmann's pretentious slop.
>>723753929>3’s party composition only works as well as it doesIt doesn't work well at all. They don't feel like a genuine group of friends. It's just Noah + Mio and their background characters.
>>723753970I said absolutely nothing about it being bad; it presents the option to accept your fate and live your life, or to stand against the norm and be the change that the world needs.
>>723754025Explain what Dunban adds to 1 after Mumkhar dies in Sword Valley. A few lines here and there
>>723754025Sounds like a typical Xenoblade cast. The rest of the party exists solely to gargle the MCs balls.
>>723754078>I said absolutely nothing about it being badWell it is. Nothing to interesting to find or explore. No towns, just tent camps. No interesting NPCs with cool backstories. It's like they made this world with a built-in excuse for why it's bland and boring. >it presents the optionDoesn't present any options because it not a choice based game, dipshit.
>>723739526I would love to if these faggots gave them a switch 2 boost
>>723754148He is important prior to sword valley. No one besides Noah and Mio is important at any point in 3's story. >>7237541582 has a much more well rounded cast. 3's cast just exists to help Noah and Mio achieve their goals. They hardly even have any agency as their own characters. Sena is basically a walking joke about how boring she is.
>>723754291Lanz is integral for Joran, Eunie to Dirk, Sena forms a bond with Shania, Taion is the straight man here and he could do with a few more stakes. Stop being a baby
>>723754492>Lanz is integral for Joran, Not really, they could just move that Eunie or Noah and nothing would change. Joran barely appears in the story lol, what kind of point is that? If the only thing he contributes is to Joran's story then that just proves me right that he's an irrelevant character. >Eunie to Dirk, Dirk is irrelevant, nothing he does ends up being important or interesting. He's just not-mumkhar>Sena forms a bond with ShaniaSo what? Shania is a shit character too.
>>723740001Don't forget the worst part about it all: the entire cast, Noah especially, slobbering over her knob the moment he meets her. Seriously, last replay it was genuinely weird to see how excited and happy Noah gets every time he gets to say her name
>>723754728In retrospect I guess it's because Ghondor is his son's name. It's still stupid though.
Let's just hope the Teenage Jacket Squad never appears in any future games.
>>723744969>she is arguably the most popular character from 3.Absolutely delusional. The most popular character is definitely Eunie.
>>723754797Yeah I guess I'd have a much more visceral response if my future son shared the same name as bitchprincess
>>723754025Okay, we’ve finally gotten to the root of your feelings about the party. I can understand not liking them for the reason you’ve outlined, but your point about them being teenagers feels completely irrelevant. Regardless, I’m still genuinely curious about the forced diversity thing.
>>723754291Every Xenoblade cast has been extraordinarily dull.
>>723755241>but your point about them being teenagers feels completely irrelevant.It's not irrelevant. A big part of why they're boring is because they all have the exact same backstory. They're all child soldiers who lost someone close to them (Noah lost Crys, Mio and Sena lost Miyabi, Lanz lost Joran, Taion lost Nimue, etc you get the idea) It's hard for all of the characters to be interesting when they share too many similarities like that. >Regardless, I’m still genuinely curious about the forced diversity thing.You know exactly what I'm talking about, don't play dumb
>>723755065>picCareful anon, you’re playing with fire therekeep going
no nigga
>>723740521Shonoya ya dag
>>723755463They come from similar backgrounds, sure, but the way they process their grief is what makes them unique. At least for me, seeing how people of such similar upbringing can find their own identity was one of the most interesting and poignant parts of the game’s story. I struggle with self-actualization a lot and found Sena to be the most personally relatable. To address your point earlier about the party being “un-Xeno” again, I think the series has always been about finding commonality between people. While prior games focused on people of extremely varied backgrounds working towards a goal, I really admire how 3 illustrated how people with so much binding them can still find ways to hate one another. It’s a neat expansion on some of the ideas that has been initially presented in X (which 3 was clearly derived from).>don’t play dumbSaying something over and over again doesn’t make it true.
>>723756340>At least for me, seeing how people of such similar upbringing can find their own identityWhat is identity? Only Noah and Mio ever get developed as characters. And even then it's mostly just tied to their romance and flutes. >think the series has always been about finding commonality between peopleWell they certainly didn't accomplish that with 3. There's certain pairs of characters who barely even talk to each other in 3, even though the entire party is there from the beginning. Off the top of my head, Noah and Sena have like 1 conversation, Noah and Eunie only talk like 1 times after chapter 1 even though they're supposedly childhood friends, Mio and Lanz only talk once in the city, probably some others I'm forgetting.
So how does her tits and ass relate to the plot specifically?
>>723756946Whose?
Why does there have to be this visceral knee-jerk reaction to the third installment of a great franchise? Just enjoy it or don't ffs but why spend literal years angrily saying "3 bad"?
>>723756946They're essential to it.
>>723757137not your hugbox
>>723756946integral
>>723756601I think a big problem with the game’s story is that a lot of character development was relegated to quests/side stories. I think the writers were trying to fix the issues X had with its narrative/quest balance but didn’t quite get all the way there.On my initial playthrough I mostly just blitzed through the main story and was left pretty unsatisfied for reasons you’ve already stated. It really wasn’t until I sat down and played it cover to cover (and all the side content) that the game and characters grew on me. I remember Lanz’s side story and Segiri’s hero quests being particular standouts for me. While I do agree that there could have been more done within the main story to tie the party together, I think the heavy lifting in other areas of the game really elevates the whole thing.Xenoblade games seem to waver pretty heavily with party interactions. Overall I still think 1 is the worst about character dynamics and synergy, but each one has their fair share of missed opportunities.
>>723757137> great franchise
>>723757346>It really wasn’t until I sat down and played it cover to cover (and all the side content) that the game and characters grew on me.Nah, I did all the sidequests on my first playthrough, and I still didn't like any of them.
>>723757581Sounds like a skill issue to me
>>723757684Yeah, skill issue on the writers for making interesting characters.
>>723739526Pokemon but is made by Monolith Soft.
>i did not like this game>so i'll spend the next 3 years of my life going into every thread about that game to complain for multiple hours about how much i disliked the game
>>723757581Totally fair. Out of all the games I think 3 is the most inherently divisive of them all (and will continue to be even after 4 releases). I’m really interested to see what lessons Monolith takes from it and what elements of it they decide to carry forward into future entries.My big hope for 4 is that we get a full-on space opera. Future Connected’s ponspectors seem to have been a test to see how many characters could be onscreen at once (which was then reflected in 3’s combat) so I have to think X’s Hraesvelg flight mode is indicative of something. Maybe space travel between planets of some kind.
>>723749875>and will be reborn in the new world.So? No biggie. The only thing that is big is my cock when I insert it inside Shania's tight hairy pussy after she gets reborn and her thoughts and nothing but having rough sex all day.

>>723757889I don't get why this image just proves its usefulness so often
>>723751652I literally and autistically WALKED around all the areas with my character. Such vibe man, but it took ages. Shame the walking speed didn't match the steps of the characters like you could do with other mainline entries.
>>723739526I did. I was dold a Xenosaga prequel in Xenoblade 2. I did not enjoy it.
3 (and X DE to an extent) are full of surgical patchworks to make it work and look good on the dated Switch hardware. It's highly unlikely there will be 60fps patches for the games. However, a definitive edition of 2 is still possible.
>>7237584482DE isn't happening, retard.
>>723758448If the game is good and it loads faster on S2, 60fps is overkill. The games are good and framerate won't make them better
>>723758109Built for humiliation rituals.

>>723739526I’ll replay these when Nintendo drops Switch 2 patches.
chara design is so bland I couldn't get into it. Same goes for the story and character. Basic anime shit. I can't fall for that.
>>723749875That doesn't make sense considering the City folk are the product of multidimensional race mixing and the ending of 3 shows the world has been split againThere's no way to mix the ingredients need to make City people anymore
>>723763064The ending of 3 shows the world remerging back into one, and FR confirmed that it happened safely
>>723763115The ending of 3 shows exactly the opposite of that and FR takes place before the events of the main game, so it has no effect on the ending of 3
>>723762310>she has no romantic notions towards Cross at allGood job doing no side quests and only playing the main story
>>723763314you cannot be serious
>Dude the worlds splitIf thats true, 3 is pointless and a filler episode>the worlds mergeThat makes 3 important and an actual story.Gee, I wonder which one they will choose.
>>723763376XC3 literally opens with the worlds of XC1 and XC2 colliding with each other and then ends where to started by showing that it's fixedDid you miss the whole ending scene right before that where the Kevesi party members and Agnian party members were running towards each other as their worlds were torn apart?
>>723763601FR ends with the two worlds existing, then a flash of light and there is only one there, indicating that they merged
>>723763660The worlds had already been merged for decades by the time FR took place. Shulk, Rex and A prevented Origin from being destroyed and dooming any hope of returning to the original worlds.
>>723739526>Those bug eyes>That non-nose>Those LIPSEww, Monolith why?!
Need Nia wife yesterday I wish I was liquid enough to own her figure. Best I was able to spring for was an acrylic standee on Etsy
>>723740001>implying there's a single good character in XC3
>>723763996So why did they include an animation of the worlds merging if the world were merged already? Sounds like they made it happen the way it was intended in the first place, combining the two safely without fear of annihilation

>>723761467>pubic hair>not pubic feathersI want bird women to have pubic down so bad.
>>723764531? Yo? Fire???
>>723764225You're assuming that scene is chronologically what happens after FR, but it makes more sense if that's what happens right at the start of XC3.Aionios is clearly complete throughout the entirety of FR, so it doesn't make sense for it to come into existence after Origin crashes into the planet.The after credit scene of the prequel setting up the beginning of the main game makes a lot more sense in this case.
>>723764794>at the start of XC3I... I know. I meant Origin worked this time when it didn't before because of the efforts of Shulk, Rex, and A's souls
>>723764891My interpretation was that Origin was already working, at least as Z wanted, until Alvis wrecked it and Rex, Shulk, and A had to give their lives to fix it.
>>723765090Z was the primal fear of death and the unknown of the future that only existed because Origin failed and Aionios was made
I did. It was alright. The DLC was completely and utterly incomprehensible to me though
>>723763548Even if the worlds split, all of the main party members are still alive. No reason they can't cameo in a new XC4.
>>723749875If it's not in the game itself, it's barely canon if at all. Everyone in the City was erased for their efforts.
>>723765475That's true, but I was just saying its kind of pointless if they are split. Unless they eventually remember everything that happened.
It's time... Ghostwalker! Sliding Slinger!Primer! Primer!Primer! True Stream Edge! Hey, that hurts... Blossom Dance!Offensive Stance! Sliding Slinger!Gh-Primer!Gho-Primer!True Strea-Waaaaaagh!

>>723765818Cope.
>>723740001It's implied Ghondor resents Monica for not giving much of a shit about raising her, which also is the main reason she's such a massive cunt to Shania, she never learned proper social skills.
>>723740521She had done nothing wrong until she started working for Moebius, at that point she pretty much did everything wrong.I sympathize with her, but she did fuck up massively.
>>723768562And then Shania is trying so hard to please everyone, because her mother demanded so much of her. She emulated Ghondor because she wanted to get some pep. She wanted to be like her dad sister because that's what her mom wanted. Her dad was literally the only one to want her to find her own way. The characters are written very maturely
XDE deserved more shitposting than 3. It's the only xenoblade where the ending pissed me off greatly.>spent the entire game rebuilding society from scratch, making mira a better place to live>it's all gone in an instant
>>723750330A is Alvis conscience that split up from Ontos during the confrontation at the original City when Ghondor used the power of Ouroboros to try to remove Alpha from inside Na'el, and is in a way a form of Moebius, tough not antagonistic like Z, she still has the same goal, to keep the endless now going, though only until it can be properly ended by rebooting Origin; this is because Moebius in general is a force of stagnation as opposed to Alpha representing progress, they're essentially two extremes pulling humanity in two different directions.
>>723768743Precisely, Shania is fundamentally a tragic figure, just like Joran, Ethel and Nimue, their role in the story is to illustrate that the bloodthirsty world of Aionios makes people feel like not being good for combat means they're completely worthless.
Just gonna say, 8th place out of 100 is really good, Shania's bitch of a mom...

>>723768906if it was written more deftly then I could accept it but it's so clumsy, clearly by people not familiar with the original"the real mira was the friends we made along the way" might work if the optional aliens were acknowledged in Ch13. not to mention blowing up mira without resolving anything about it.it's kinda telling that people who started with XDE generally like it and people who started with the original dislike it.
>>723771631It would be pretty stupid to remain in Mira for the sequel, what else is there to do?
>>723771703>It would be pretty stupid to remain in Mira for the sequelI didn't say they should remain! I said they should've written Mira blowing up better! Instead they abandoned all the things that made X's storytelling interesting and left without payoffs for anything they set up!
>>723768906X had promise and room to grow back in 2014, 3 was always the hype and momentum of two other much better stories falling flat. XDE is also the result of 3’s rash creative decisions, so everything that can reasonably be disliked about the new content can effectively also be blamed on 3, the great series unifier that is somehow the most divisive entry.
I don't understand why 3 was rushed. It could have been delayed to be better.
>>723775545They even released it earlier than that planned.
>>723776587That was because of Takahashi's Seven autism to release it in the seventh month
>>723739526They still haven't patched the games, so fuck no.
>>723776587The game was done for months before then. Nintendo tends to sit on games for a while before releasing them. Moving the game up a few weeks changed basically nothing.Iirc XC3 was done around January/February of 2022.
>>723777861>Iirc XC3 was done around January/February of 2022.>the 2 final chapters are still rushed

I really do deserve to make Shania into a single mother
