Did this sequel do ANYTHING right?
it is a better game than xc2i do not want to play it more than xc2
>>727482707the cutscene animations are goodthe music is amazingand while i think its a step down from 2 the gameplay is still fun
>>727482707I like Mio
>>727482707Eunie's tits, that's about itshitty game
>>727482896it helps no one to be so reductive
Everything?3>X>2>1
SEAmonkey subhuman seething thread
>>727482875>>727482896Me? Sena.
>>727482707I hated the menu design, what a fucking awful colour and layout.
It exposed Takahashit like the fraud he is.
>>727482707I wouldn't know since I didn't play it. Kinda dropped the series after XB2 did EVERYTHING wrong.
>>7274830052 clears on every aspect and X does on most
>>727483102you mean like the pause menu or battle ui?
it would have been better off if it didn't try to synthesize with XC1 and 2. The two queens shit was absolutely the dumbest fucking shit imaginable. Shoehorning in the non-binary thing into a character that wasn't non-binary in Japan was the icing on the shit cake. Absolutely worst in show, it will be forgotten, and, for the scarce few people with brains that played it, it ruined the prospects of Xenoblade ever matching up against Xenogears. Xenogears is the only good Xeno- game.
>>727483128Xenoblade 3 is at least ten times worse than 2
>>727482794This is weirdly how I felt.When XC2 came out I marathoned that shit hard, getting like 200 hours in one month in one playthrough. That didn't happen with XC3.
>>727483293>it would have been better off if it didn't try to synthesize with XC1 and 2.it would be better off if it committed, 3 feels really wishy washy with being connected to 1 and 2, future redeemed does a much better job and is a more enjoyable experience overall imo because of it
>>727482707The designs are a billion times better than 2
>>727482707What did it do wrong?
>>727483128If you liked 1 more than 2, you'll like 3.
>>727482707Everything.
>>727483598But that's all they are, they're just designs. None of them have ANY plot relevance other than Noah and Mio.
>>727483598I disagree they are really fucking boring compared to 1 and 2
>>727482707Personally i likejob systems
most overrated series of all timeonly praised because its nintendo exclusive (kinda like octopath 1)
>>727483984I was extremely disappointed how you just basically get jackets when you switch though, i was really looking forward to something like this
>>727482707The gameplay is miles better than 2, it doesn't have all those stupid wonky choices like collection points, having to open the menu for level-up bonuses to activate or weirdly-structured sidequests and the battle system and menus actually flow properly instead of being poorly-structured and obscure as fuck.The story has less cringe animu bullshit, no blushy-crushy/Mythra dance-level retardation, the tone is more serious and dramatic, in-line with 1 and X.The writing is also tighter, character motivations are better spread than in 2, everyone more or less has something to do in the narrative unlike 2 where Morag, Zeke and their blades are all essentially just there out of obligation, there's no pointless filler on the level of 2 which is pretty much all filler from Gormott to Indol, in fact the story is pretty laser-focused and could have used a little bit more down time, but I still prefer that to whatever the fuck 2 was trying to do with the pointless world tour arc.Finally, the implications of 3 will bear heavily in 4, as it will 100% be set in the world that was created as a result of the intersection.
>>727482707It is very polished...But it is also soulless as fuck when you stack it up to it's predecessors.
>>727484186>everyone more or less has something to do in the narrativeNot true btw.
>>727484186>The gameplay is miles better than 2,3 does not have auto attack cancelling so off rip it loses points thereeach character only having one special is pretty lame opposed to each blade having 4chain attacks are way less satisfying and the music gets really old since youll get to a point where most of your combat just takes place in the chain attack
>>727484186>everyone more or less has something to do in the narrative
>>727484430>>727484558They do, Noah and Mio are, well, Noah and Mio, Lanz has the Joran thing and the suicide pact with Sena, Sena has the self-doubt thing which makes her connect with Shania, Eunie has the past life memory thing and Taion has the Nimue thing, plus, all of them are personally invested in getting to Swordmarch, and because of the Hero quest structure each of them gets moments in them, like how competitive Lans gets with Triton and how invested Sena gets in Fiona's drama, in 2 you don't even get that because the blade gacha system means anyone can get any blade.
>>727484962>Sena has the self-doubt thing which makes her connect with Shania,*yawn*
>>727484962>in 2 you don't even get that because the blade gacha system means anyone can get any blade.what are you even talking about, everyone still has a main blade. the only character that doesnt have any narative impact is dromarch
>>727485028>*yawn*me whenever anime girl has cringe dialogue or tries to shove boobs and ass at the camera aka 90% of XC2
>>727485250Do your parents know you're gay?
>>727483754In fairness you can say that about pretty much every blade in 2.
>>727485092Funny enough, it's also Dromarch that really holds back Nia's battle potential.She's actually a fun character to use, except that Dromarch is an extremely mid blade that forces her into the healer role, until 90% through the game when you can finally strip him off of her.
>>727485250>tries to shove boobs and ass at the camera aka 90% of XC2this actually very really happens, there are characters with big boobs that exist on screen but I cant even think of a time where it felt forced to have a characters boobs visible
>>727482707Yes, it gave us two non-binary characters. That automatically means it's a good game.
>>727485092Which means they only get involved with that specific blade while the rest of the blades just have bland, non-involved sidequest lines, they don't even use Roc properly in the story even though he is a mandatory Rex blade, he shows up for the stupid children filler sidequest and then never says a word again.Morag is just exposition for Mythra, Pandoria is only there so Amalthus being a Blade eater doesn't come out of nowehre,Dromarch has no baring in the plot whatsoever, we don't even know where the fuck he came from or when Nia got her hands on him, and Poppi is legitimately more plot relevant in 3 where it turns out she was the power source of he Cloudkeep than in 2 where the whole artificial blade thing has zero payoff and is just there for a throwaway cutscene where Indol btfo's the entire artifical blade army in one hit.
>>727485467i like ealin alo though
>>727483482I remember when 3 came out, I played it for 24 hours within it's first 48 hours of being out. I was so ready for it to be my GOTY.In the end, around the Chapter 4 mark, I slowed down massively, then after the big Chapter 5 peak, I dropped the game for months. It really just lost my interest over time. I know a lot of people love them but I legit think 3's party was boring as fuck. Beyond that, I had a lot of other little problems with the game that added up over time.Do I still like the game? Of course. Would I reccomend it? Sure. But of the 3 in the numbered series, it's my least favorite.
>>727485487Nigger, right after the first big action scene Rex opens his eyes and you get a pov shot of Pyra's face barely visible past her giant watermelon tits.
>>727482707It was good at flopping.lmaoFuck Censorblade 3
>>727482794I don't agree. XC2 was more fun to me. I actually liked the gacha though, if only because it was basically a built in randomizer if you weren't sitting there grinding it. Was fun doing runs with whatever shit you pulled.
>>727485623thats what it looks like if you look up at a girl, were they supposed to remove her boobs for that scene? if I look up at my gf from that angle it would look similar. I wouldn't say that scene felt forced a better example would probably the mythra sleep walking scene
>>727485825Why is the pov view necessary at all? none of the games, included 2, ever do it again, it's a one time thing that is blatantly there to shove her tits in the camera.
>>727485825You have to understand anon, homosexuals hate the female form.
>>727485532>Dromarch has no baring in the plot whatsoever,Neither does anyone in 3 except Noah and Mio.
>>727485682I love how half the defense of 2 in here is "It's not even that sexualized" and the other half is "Hurr durr Censorblade 3", way to keep it consistent, 2fags.
>does absolutely nothing, zero, 0, in the narrative in your path
>>727482707The music is kino. Noah and N, mobius, everything that musically happens in origin. Would've been nicer if the music had been attached to something deserving of it.
>>727485896because rex just woke up, >ever do it againand thats not true, just off the top my head i know there a pov view when rex gets stabbed
>>7274859742 has fun combat, amazing music, a beautiful interesting world to explore, good/funny story, a varied likable cast of characters. there you go but youll probably ignore this to keep strawmanning
>>727486027So you can look at his boydick in his crappy kingdom hearts wet suit.
>>727486140>beautiful interesting world to exploreHalf of it is filler and it is tiny as fuck compared to the Bionis and the Mechonis.
>>727486296>Half of it is fillerits the journey not the destination, and in my opinion its more visually interesting than most of Bionis and Mechonis not that i dislike those they're really cool too
>>727483128xb2 is one of the greatest jrpgs of all time with one of the best stories and best soundtracks and best battle systems and best comedic momentsthe nopon arcade grinding for parts for Poppi was by far the worst thing about itand the dub was unironically good aside from a literal handful of scenes with bad/no VO directing, poppi is absolutely goated and even rex has some well-acted lines
>>727485974Not only is 2 a much more fun and overall better game, with far more interesting characters, but it's also less censored for lefty faggots. Suck my dick, you fags lost.
>>727485993he got to turn into an accessory in 3 at least
AN IRON HEART BEATS IN POPPI'S CHEST
>>727482896
>>727483005Overall I really enjoyed 3 as well there where so many fun parts like exploring those huge desert dunes or riding around in my boat exploring all the islands complete with that cool ass godzilla vs Kong island. Plus the dlc for it, future redeemed, is the best entry in the xeno series it's fucking incredible.The economy is broken but that's my only real big issue with 3... Well I guess the towns are pretty shitty to if I'm being honest. City is hyped up all game then toy get there and it fucking sucks
>>727485825>>727485927Reminder, these are the weebs who don't understand why people prefer E33 over anime shit.
>>727486501I played XC2 when it came out before the arcade game difficulty got nerfed, it was unironically cancer.Good lord, what were they thinking?That shit got so much backlash and got nerfed fast.
Honestly, the Xeno series is awful at keeping its fandom engaged. We used to have daily threads discussing the lore and meta discussions instead of just porn dumps, but now there's nothing left to talk about. You might say the story's already concluded but that's just Blade. The hint that it actually connects to Saga which makes it clear Takahashi isn't done with his Perfect Works vision. The next game will likely be a whole new Xeno series that pretends it's unrelated to games that came before, only to connect everything later. I already see where this is going.
>>727486501>best comedic moments>"M-Mythra! W-why're you blushing!">"S-shut up, Baka-kun!!">*Claps him into the camera*xDDD!!1 Or how about that time she wakes up in his bed and calls him a pervert! Or the hysterical dancing scene!1 xDD You were not stuffed in enough lockers.

>>727487838>every single scene with Chairman Bana is comedy goldi liked the random mazinger reference
>>727487569>>727487810kino trope
>>7274827071)Best cast in the series2)Noah rivals Shulk in being the best Xenoblade Protagonist3)Class system opens the opportunity for any play style you like. 4)N is easily the best villain in the series5)2nd best side quests in Xenoblade behind X6)Lucky seven is the coolest sword designOnly thing bad about Xenoblade 3 is how garbage Future Redeemed was, considering how it added no story context to the base game like Torna and when it did, it ruined N's character.
>>727488851>Best cast in the seriesWith Sena? No way.
>>727488851wrong on all fronts holy shit, except about the classes
What does /v/ want from Xenoblade 4?
>>727488976She maybe the weakest but she's the cutest.
>>727482707>ITS GOOD BECAUSE>SOMEONE CRIED!!!!!!!!!
>>727487238>aieeeee is that japanese shit in my jrpgs?! Save me frogman!
>>727489379xenoblade 2-2
>>727489379please just give me auto attack canceling back if the combat is gonna be the same
Did it turn out to be woke? Should I just play X instead?
>>727491314Only the localization, which turned a character that originally wasn't one into a tranny. But you should be playing in japanese anyway after how dogshit 2's localization was, you do understand moon right?
>>727491413'ocalizashun's finesimple as
>>727482794For me, the combat system of XB2 felt better. In XB3 it feels like I don't need many of the features.
>>727489379Adult Rex as the main character.
>>727491793That's because XB2's combat system WAS better. By a lot.
>not playableXC3 is just retarded.
>watches first trailerOh cool it's like the world's and cultures of Xenoblade 1 and 2 are at war with each other what a great tragic concept for a third entry!>gets the gameWhat the fuck is this
>>727482707It live rent free in your head lmao.
>>727493778Tbh, she is a shit character.
>>727490818You never needed that shit in 1 or 3. Only in 2 with that sluggish combat system.
It gave us some real hot as fuck Xenos like the Ouroboros forms and Consul X. Shame there's pretty much zero art of them.
>>7274953183 feels more sluggish because you're are constantly waiting around for your arts to recharge. im pretty sure auto attack canceling was not intended but it gives you something to constantly be engaged with and I think the whole game is better for it, 3 should have expanded on it instead of dropping it
>>727489379I want all the characters just screaming EHHHHHHHHHHHHHH all the time, cause i fucking love anime and i wish i was a slant eyed 1.60m midget
>>727495726why are you seething?
I like 2 but anyone who thinks tapping your analogue stick to force the game to spam their first autoattack is good gameplay is mentally ill
>>727495791you know I was gonna give you snarky reply but I wanna know from your point of view genuinely how is standing doing nothing a more fun option
>>727482707Noah > Huge pile of shit > Rex
>>727495924I don't suffer from a mental illness that requires me to "do something" to get that dopamine rush every 0.5 seconds
>>727495724>3 feels more sluggish because you're are constantly waiting around for your arts to recharge.Only in the first chapters. By the time you get the second master art the combat get much faster.
>>727496058sorry my bad I wanna actually do something while playing a videogame
>>727496221it still feels slow even if it technically isn't when ever you have to wait around for arts to recharge since there's nothing for you to actively do to influence it
>>727496224I don't accept your apology. I'm glad you know you are in the wrong though.
>>727496278>it still feels slow even if it technically isn'tOkay, wat?
>>727496413actively engaging with the game feels better than sitting there doing nothing
>>727496532I'd rather do nothing than tap the analogue stick like a drone
>>727496685why are you even playing a video game why not just so nothing at all instead of even touching a controller like a drone?
>>727496808Why are you offended that people with enough patience to wait more than 0.5 seconds can enjoy themselves just fine?
>>727495621Yeah, they are so cool. But people only cares about coom.
>>727497003because I know the game could be better, if auto attack canceling isnt gonna be a thing at least make positioning more important or something
>>727497430Auto attack canceling was clearly unintended and making sure it couldn't happen in 3 was an improvement. If it makes tik tok addicted zoomers mad, it's good.
>>727497430>at least make positioning more important or somethingBut they did? Now, Combos are triggered via Position Attacks such as Side Breaks. Its very minimal, but it makes a lot of difference imo.
>>727482707Quite a lot? It's basically all fixes of the previous game.> Sidequests for new jobs, not gatcha> No bullshit repeat menu-opening box clicking "quests" or persistent topping up of timed food items> No menu lag> No gating exploration behind gatcha or sub-submenu activation of skills you already have> No blushy crushy> Removes the mindless pseudo interaction of hammering the same buttons in the exact same sequence forever to cancel normals/confirm specials> Tutorials that are logical and timed so that you can actually use the skills taught afterwardsShame they fucked up fifty new things after that.
>>727497656>But they did?DO IT MORE >>727497482>Auto attack canceling was clearly unintendedirrelevant imagine if street fighter decided to remove combos instead of pioneering a genre, it was a fun mechanic that should have been expanded upon
>>727497871>Removes the mindless pseudo interaction of hammering the same buttons in the exact same sequence forever to cancel normals/confirm specialsthis is a bad thing
>>727497919Keep trying zoomer
>>727497973>muh oomeryou have no argument
>>727497885Combos are fun, Auto Attack Cancelling was a work-around.
>>727498097auto attack canceling is fun it being a work around is also fun
>>727498042>I like shit thingYou never had one.
>>727498359>i like doing nothingits hard to take xb2 criticisms seriously when this is the stance you guys take
>>727498448I didn't criticize XB2. Reading is hard, should I make a youtube short for your dumb ass?
it really is a spectacle just how mentally ill this faggot is that he spends the majority of his time on this earth seething over attractive women in video games and "arguing" with people on 4chan about cutscenes or some other retardationI guarantee he's spent more time complaining on this site and his failed youtube channel than actually playing vidya
>>727498540>ad hominem why must you guys be so boring
>>727488851Future Redeemed's entire reason to exist was to be fanservice. That's not to say its bad, in fact it address what happened to the trinity cores. Plus it gave us stupid sexy Alvis.
Besides forcefully combining XC1 & XC2, I believe one of the worst things about XC3 is it's themes. It tries so hard to push certain pairings and the "We must have sex not out of love, but for the future of mankind" stuff, like that awkward scene of the main cast seeing a baby for the first time. Felt like I was experiencing Darling in the Franxx all over again but in video game form.
>>727498741>I believe one of the worst things about XC3 is it's themes. >It tries so hard to push certain pairings and the "We must have sex not out of love, but for the future of mankind" stuff,white hands typed this post
>>727498540anyways>It's basically all fixes of the previous game.>Removes the mindless pseudo interaction of hammering the same buttons in the exact same sequence forever to cancel normals/confirm specialsthe implication here is that removing it was a good thing and 3 is improved because of it which yes would make it a criticism of 2
>>727482707Better gameplay, better character designs, more fleshed out cast, banger soundtrackReally its only flaws were the story was a bit nonsense and it kept going a bit too long after the actual climax (Homecoming ceremony), flaws it shares with XC1. Oh and the DLC doesn't really resolve any of the unanswered questions and actually kind of raises more of them.Good game though, only XC game I've bothered to 100%
>>727484558>more fleshed out cast
>>727498782Not my post. But I wouldn't be surprised if you started pretending the implementation of Field Skils was well done. You are clearly an idiot.
>>727498796I feel like its not the story that is wrong, but rather the pacing. If it wasn't for the one-two punch of Joran and the fetching quest, the story would flow better.
>>7274827072? no 3? no1 is the only game that matters
>>727498908then why reply? field skills are what ever. >You are clearly an idiot because you want you game to be fun?
3s villains are so ass, shania is like the only good one
>>727498775>white hands typed this postYeah and? If Monolith Soft wanted to pull a Franxx so bad, they should have at least executed well than making it come off as painfully forced.
>>727498741maybe thats why 3 is so sucky, it copies a shit anime, 2 at least copied a good one in elemental gelade
>>727499064N is fun. He's the chuuniest chuuni ever to chuuni. He makes Jin look tame.The Mobius guys as a rule are sadly really one note for the most part, but I guess that's a factor of there being so damn many of them.>>727499078>If Monolith Soft wanted to pull a Franxx so bad, they should have at least executed wellIf they made it good it wouldn't have been Franxx.
It was funny when N was melting down. Dude was like "meow meow meow".
>>727499173>N is funi dunno hes just kinda boring and also a lame cuck, council D was kinda cool at first but having the whole fucking alphabet just kinda makes them all feel less special
>>727498962i feel the exact opposite, welcome to the internet i guess.>>727498659Game was also top notch visually for a switch title and some of the Boss fights had some killer cinematography, looking forward to what Monolith is cooking up next and how it will fit in the overall saga especially with the new Hardware. i'm looking forward to something special, i can't wait.
>>727482707i really need to replay 2 this winter
>>727482707I hated 2's combat compared to 1. 3 is similar to 2 yeah?
>>727499736It has the limited arts palette but it's wildly different otherwise. For one thing, healers are actually important for most of the game.
>>727499736Same foundation, but completely different in the end. For starter, you are fast on your feets. Plus you can switch characters.
>>7274997363 has the best combat system of the trilogy, very anarchic but also incredibly fluid and satisfying. Don't expect any headaches like some of the boss fights in 2.
I quit my second run of XB2 part way. I will have to start anew one day when I play it again. Shame, I had Kosmos.I remember tweaking the difficulty to a level I liked.
>>727482707Best combatBest normal battle theme at least, the first version is fucking kinoAnd the N cuckening scene is an absolute masterpiece
My one and only grief about Xenoblade 3 is the lack of custom difficulty. It was there, but they didn't implement it.
>>727499975With that chain attack, hell no
>>727499513i mean how do you not like everything about 1? even if you love 2 and 3
>>727500137worth it for that theme alone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYPSEjoOV9A
>>727500226That theme makes me wanna vomit now with how much I heard it, I don't know what they were thinking with that
>>727500137What's wrong with it? Chain Attack being busted is nothing new.
>>727500332The song gets annoying after hearing it so long, you spend like half the battle in a chain attack
>>727500465Couldn't be me, I use the far more kinetic and cooler Interlinks.
>>727482707Almost everything compared to XBC2. To this day I have no idea how anyone liked that game. I guess it tapped the gacha audience?
>>727500502ok we got someone based around here
>>727499513Since Xde is a thing, seamless open world seems to be on the table at least. As long as they do better than Metroid Prime 4, it should be fine.I want them to expand on the affinity system of FR too. Linking character progression to the exploration of the overworld is such a good idea.
I like XC3 because Sena is my fav
Get woke go broke chronicle 3
>>727500197i did not hate it but after playing 2 and 3 it felt almost too pedestrian. They both took more risks narratively and visually. Better chara-design, soundtrack, combat system, worlds, themes and on and on... X1 was just a bit too classical for my taste. Most of the main cast was ok though i'll give you that, especially Shulk and Fiora.I also enjoyed Cross a lot more for what it's worth.
>>727500502why wouldn't you use both?
>>727500769i see some of your points but it has by far the best story and characters from a personal standpoint
>>727500510this but the exact opposite lol 2 has better combat,characters,setting,story, and music
I still haven’t finished XCX. I was overwhelmed by how much content there was, my progress was going nowhere and I just got bored and dropped it. The exploration is really good though. I can’t think of many open world games that actually feel makes me feel like an ant wandering on an alien planet. I’ll probably go back and finish everything one day but that day is not today.
>>727501072id just finish it,,,theres no big twist or anything like XC1 either if youre expecting that
>>727500931i mean youre giving xc2 credit for the lamest villain of all time while xc1 is a masterclass in storypacing? youre better than that bro
>>727501226xb1 has pretty good pacing imolamest villain would go to 3
>>727500137>he doesn't love when the chain attack theme kicks inNGMI
>>727482707The sidequest design is by far the best one besides X and actually in some ways it surpassed X, namely the way different guest characters also interact with each other's not just the cultural crossover. It is the best evolution of the affinity tree which is arguably one of the xenoblade series's mainstays. It also has the best boss battle design in the series, in that bosses all have unique mechanics you can actually feel and react against and have to plan around. The character animation, particularly facial expressions are next level. The main cast is one of the best and more importantly thanks to the party chat mechanic they are constantly interacting with each other instead of sitting in a vacuum outside of main quests like the 1 and 2 casts.
>>727501420>The main cast is one of the best and more importantly thanks to the party chat mechanicI feel like they should make it an overworld mechanic.
>>727501335I personally do think it has the best battle system but the one thing I'd take out is chain attack override, at least for major bosses. Moebius battle 1 and 2 are the best tracks in the game, I hate having to stop them when I'm nuking the boss.
>>727501335xb3 already has amazing battle themes so its overtaking a song thats generally better than it but that would be fine if chain attacks didnt last so long
Yes, the combat is the overall best in the series and it has the most diverse build customization in the series. Having 6 party members at once while feeling super manageable is also a huge feat, and the Ouroboros transformations are cool as fuck. Noah and Mio are also the most fleshed out the protagonists have ever been for the series, with a great developing love story that reaches a tear inducing climax atop the tower, even if the story takes a turn for the worse after that. Oh, and it has the best side quests + best dlcXenoblade 2 is the flawed masterpiece, but Xenoblade 3 is the "almost" masterpiece, since it is so polished and perfectly executed in so many areas but just falls short with an underdeveloped and poorly realized villain plus a rushed final act.Future Redeemed meanwhile, is the best dlc in the series by far, and its shorter more compact set of goals were way easier for them to execute. To this day future redeemed is probably the easiest and most entertaining Xenoblade Story (of the 7 available) to come back to for repeat playthroughs
>>727501168I already know the story sucks ass, so I have zero expectations from that. But does it have any hint for a future game, at least?
>>727501558>tear inducingare you a woman ?
>>727501559No, the only cliffhanger from FR is that the worlds are merged now, so future characters and locations can come from either world
>>727501667No I just don't have autism
>>727489379The reincarnation of Malos as the new protagonist with the same English and JP voice actor
Since the combat is pretty much figured out, they should expand on the overworld interactions. Like being able to camp wherever you want.
1=2=3=X for me. This series is kino
>>727499078>>727499173Franxx had a comfier ending then the gay world reset ending.
>>727502149>the gay world reset ending.I honestly forgot about that, it raises so many questions
>>727489379Xeno- not blade but something newhopefully we'll be in space again, but they'll probably want to rehash their environment and monsters again to save costs.
>>727501685come on thats not a hint thats a spoiler
Paizuri with tsundere Glimmer while A is watching.
>>727489379I don't really cares since 90% of what we want won't matter kek.It will probably be about immigrations, since WW2 is coming to Biorest.
>>727489379do you guys really think we'll even get a xenoblade 4?
>>727502574i'd be up for another completely different game from Monolith personally, which is probably what will happen. I'm expecting something Xeno and something completely different.
>>727502574Nah, we are getting Xenoblade Y.
people complain about souls rollslop or turn based games but honestly the dumb mechanics in xenoblade make me think either would be preferred
You know that scene from a star trek movie,the one where Kirk asks "What does God need with a starship?" and God is a shitty CGI floating headThis game's final boss is actually like that
>>727503189no one knows Star Trek, Rich, wtf??
>>727503189Final Bosses in J-rpg's are usually weird and over the top. Z didn't brake the tradition just like Alpha before him.
>>727503590>Z didn't brake the tradition just like Alpha before him.Got mixed up?
>>727503590>over the top.is he over the top? hes just a head
>>727503673well no since in the timeline everything in FR happens before X3.
>>727503590Alpha's final boss was cool though. I see Z and I just remember YHVH from SMT.
3 could have entire sections of Ch 5 and Ch 6 that need cutting or total rework. IDC though, the party is my favorite, the world feels like "Book 3" because everything you explore is a clever retelling of the past two games usually in a clever twist. The MOMENTS in xb3 reach the highest, although I think the other games win in other areas. A random point I give xb3 is that it was sorta shadow dropped, what was release 6 months after announcement? The lore was cool too, everyone forgets the only alive 10 years, I think we all only played it once, FR was awesome but I should do a full replay>>727482819spbp, ost drop https://youtu.be/faUb-i-a9Js?si=P3fRbD3qwYafIcmX this is one of xenos most heartwrenching>>727489379mechas to play a more central role, custom ones like X but more central to the story like 3's actual fly aroundjust make 3's engine in an X level world with a story on par with Xeno's best moments in 1 2 and 3. easy.
3 had a lot of DFC, and god bless it for it.
They tried to please Judeo-America by reducing anime/manga references, because the American comic book industry and its ridiculous animal-man characters were so raped by manga that they had to create a whole social engineering scheme to try to convince Americans that manga/anime is bad.
>>727489379PILOTABLE mecha.
>>727504028Play X. They even transform.

>>727503941they literally went full anime for the second game after the first game was just a regular story
>>727504074I've got both the WiiU and Switch versions of XCX.
>>727504168can we stop trying to pretend xb1 wasnt a standard shonen storyhttps://youtu.be/uT6WFsKqE9I?si=Ik31HWJsgrW4JokG&t=530
>>727503825>FR was awesome but I should do a full replayConsidering this as well since i played most of the series already and i don't wanna do a full replay. will probably replay it once while being all comfy during winter holydays.
>>727504286using a meme term doesnt mean youre right
>>727503189Thar line perfectly encapsulates the idea of a Demiurge final boss that permeates all JRPGs. Incidentally it's an homage to Xenogears, in Xenogears, one of the badguys turns into a giant floating head and supports while you fight the other villain who turns into Ouroboros. In Blade 3 you are playing as reformed villain turned Ouroboros fighting giant floating head.
>>727505565the japs realized they were wrong about gnosticism
>>727505743I don't think there's any real meaning behind it, Miang and Z are essentially filling the same role as the Demiurge (actually a giant man-made computer)'s avatar.
>>727482707The class system was pretty fun to mess around with and I liked the party dynamics. 3's biggest weakness is just that the plot is so meandering, with over(?) half the chapters in the game being about walking to the place where the interesting plot revelations happen. It's a game where it feels like not a whole lot happens despite a massive runtime.
I like how 3 let you try multiple strategies. Unfortunaly, none of them are equals in both investement and efficiency, which result in such things as Chain Attack spam or Debuffs being weak.
Xenoblade 3 had hot girls
>>727482707Disabling the pause/camp music with a simple cheat file makes it 100% more enjoyable. How that works depends on your own enjoyment factor.
>>727488851>3 lefties are this delusionallmfao
>everyone got normal legacy costume>Eunie got some mix of Melia and Fiora's oneWhy is Takahashi such a bitch?
>>727509340They should have committed to Eunie being Fiora's equivalent.
>>727491314Xeno is inherently "woke", you dumbass. XBX is literally about emigration and diversity saving the human race.
>>727487569Thanks for reminding me to smile every time I see a news report of some normalfag eating shit and dying.
>>727509340Lanz > Mio > Noah > Sena > Taion > Eunie.
>>727491314Crying about woke in Jrpg, are you retarded or what?
>>727482707Its main hurdle was that it had no chance in hell of getting out from under 2's shadow.
>>727510613Are you? Just look at squareslop. Japan isn't immune to jewish infiltration.
Why are Xeno threads so shit lately? There are games with much less to discuss but their threads are usually fine.
>>727511710>latelyThey’ve been shit since maybe 2018-2019
>>727511847Xenoblade 3 threads were good 1 month after it was leaked and during FR release
>>727509340>>727510338Meds
>>727511710Because of schizo spammers.
>>727498796>better character designs, more fleshed out cast,Not true btw.
>>727501420>The sidequest design is by far the best one besides X and actually in some ways it surpassed XNo it fucking isn't. You faggots are insane.
>>727501420>The main cast is one of the best and more importantly thanks to the party chat mechanic they are constantly interacting with each otherNo they aren't. There are some characters who talk to each other only 1 or 2 times. Like Mio and Lanz or Noah and Sena. Noah and Eunie are supposed to be childhood friends yet they barely say a word to each other after chapter 1
>Game gves you cool and lewd mecha transformations>They're battle-only>Amble around slow as fuck>Weak as shit>Can't even be upgraded to be usefulAward for the most confoundingly stupid game design of the decade right here. They had an idea for an awesome thing, then they just... did the opposite? Why?
>>727510607Lanz>Taion>Eunie>Noah>Mio>Sena
>>727513130>Perfect chance for a dragoon bird extra hero>Drop the ball
>>7275117103 ruined the fanbase.
>>727513130They're not weak as shit though? They are in fact extremely strong with access to the best buffs/debuffs and the abillity to force reactions. They also have great AoE attacks which are extremely useful against all the battles with very large amounts of enemy mobs that 3 likes to throw at you, particularly any time the Kevesi/Agnes army roll out. The only thing I don't like about Ouroboros is the heat mechanic, I wish they just had a seperate HP bar and you could swap into them whenever and as you day use them outside battle.
>>727513448There's no endgame strats that use the ouroboros because they all get outpaced by the various classes, and especially so by L7, so it's not worth building anything for them
>>727513448Bro they are all fucking dogshit past the early game. They can't do shit compared to just being a flesh nigga.
>>727513130>very strong until you get Lucky Seven>let you survive if everything goes wrong>Eunie/Taion can resurect on cdWhen you don't know how to break the game, they are very useful.>>727513406Ooc. Noah would never be embarrassed
>>727513512Endgame is perhaps the least interesting part of the game.
>>727513621He's just cold.
>>727512564Stop lying, the sidequests are garbage in the first two games. 2's could have been good if they weren't locked behind such retarded requirements, and sadly that's just one of the many stupid game designs decisions that ruined the game.
>>727513448Their damage output is ridiculously low. You COULD use them and finish a fight in 10 minutes, or you could use anything else and do it in 2. They feel awful to use, especially since the best way to use them is, as you said, for the buffs - which just means getting the AI to use them so you have stat sticks.You're spamming a 160% damage ratio move over and over with Noah that has no bonuses other than the additive Interlink buff. Compare that to a basic fusion art that has 3 different independent multipliers, and the damage difference is a joke. The devs REALLY blew it.
>>7275137393's sidequests are garbage. Can you even name one memorable one? Don't say Side Story Noah or Mio, those are required and thus are part of the main story.
>>727482707yes, rex impregnated nia, homura and hikari
>>727513703Well it's not like anything else requires strategy besides the endgame
>>727482707The asses size I guess
>>727482707>Did this sequel do ANYTHING right?It made people realize NoA is actively censoring shit and that XB2 was lightning in a bottle in a period where Nintendo was desperate to not veto anything, hence they got one of the best JRPGs that's memorable to this day vs this forgettable slop.
>254 posts >36 images another gay debate thread, lame
>>727513817Literally every single town quest line is great. Zeon's potato farm, the fight club crazies, Real Man of the Sea mk 2, the mech suit kiddies making a home for themselves in jail, etc. I can't think of a single bad main quest line.
