it's actually wild how complex the battle system is in xenoblade chronicles 2i've played the usual jrpg series like everyone but got to this fucker late and kept delaying my playthrough because i got bored but when i started actually looking at how it works, it's pretty mindblowing.there are 4 fucking sequential stages to each battle.there are literally endless combinations of blade setups.there are ridiculous amounts of ways to play this and i'm surprised it didn't get talked about more at the time.what other series or games feature such a level of complexity?
it's pretty simplistic, actually
>>729394965ah, the stupid cunt is here to get his first post
>>729395017looking at a elemental chart for level 3 blade combos and spamming chain attacks aint anything special
On one hand, I loved Xenoblade games.On the other hand, they're all Chain Attack slop.I especially started hating it with 3 because of the music change when doing it (along with Pause/Camp music).
>>729395892you do feel a sense of achievement when you get good at them. it's not easy to build up and knock them out smoothly each time.
>>729394901I'm not shitposting when I say your first Full Burst Breakn (stage 4) will happen after 100 hours when you finally get it. Very common in Xenoblade 2 player discourse.
I didn't like 2 very much, 3 removed all the bad parts about it and combined the good parts with the best aspects of 1 and X and made a very complete package though.
>>729396474I know you're not shitposting because I'm at 101 hours and I feel like I'm just starting to get chain attacks kek.I only hope 3 is as fun as this. pretty cool to delay playing games until multiple of them are lined up to play in a row.
switch 2 patches for the series when?
It's insane how Xenoblade 2 doesn't explain most of its battle system considering how layered it is. They just tell you enough to get you through a fight and just figure you'll either beat the game without experiencing its depth, or that you'll discover its depth by yourself.XB2's tutorial is hilarious in the sense that it can be overbearing at times while never adequately explaining it's systems beyond a surface level. Which leads to Xenoblade 3's tutorial overcorrecting and being extremely hand-holdy.
>>729394901how well would this game run on a Ayn Thor? or, has anyone played it on a OLED Deck?
THE ZEKINATOR FALLS
>>729396550>3tards actually believe this
>horrible butchered translation that completely ruins the whole game>choice between HORRIBLE english dub or jp dub where morag sounds like a literal man for ... reasons???>babbies first heroes journey self insert shonen self insert slop where the boring male protag has a shit ton of women falling over themselves in love with him for... reasons?>first 60% of the game is literally nonstop tutorials>gameplay doesnt even open up until then>resolution on handheld is like 480p somehow>pretentious story that is a worse version of its own spirtual predecessor (xenosaga)>pretentious story doesnt even understand the speed of light despite trying to use it as a plot device>only 4 decent characters (including antagonists)>brutally mogged hard by its prequel offshoot>shitty gacha like system for blades in a single player game that exist solely to waste the players time artificially>shitty field skill system requires you to arbitrarily know what characters you need to not only have out but also level up their skills AFTER engaging with the shitty gacha systemI own every xenoblade game, Ive played all of them multiple times, and its crazy how dissappointing 2 is compared to the rest of the series. Its not a bad game, its actually quite good at times, but its just being weighed down by so many horrible systems and story choices.X>1>FR>Torna>3>2>FC
xenoblade situation is wild poo poo pee pee fart see ya
>>729395892>On the other hand, they're all Chain Attack slop.The + button is the skip button for cutscenes, and also for boss battles. Dont use it and then complain about using it.
>>729394901Welcome to the club of the few people actually understanding XB2 combat system I guess. Now go hit some damage caps with Electra for the lulz.
>>729394901the combat is one of the few things going great for the game, but alot of things are messy, hoping for a DE treatment like X
>>729401898It won't get a DE because the switch 2 can already play switch 1 games
>>729400418you forgot>win boss fight only to lose un cutscenes 70% of the gameMan I like the game but it has soo much bullshit lol
>>729402056at the worst fucking possible resolution scaling. are you fucking retarded? do you not understand what happens when you try to scale 720p to 1080p?
>>729402080i actually did forget how much this happens and how much i fucking hated it. What was even the point of ANY of the boss fights when you just lose anyways. Holy shit XB2 is annoying sometimes.
>>729402140It already worked fine for BOTW and TOTK retard. Shut the fuck up.
>>729402056idk mate, xenoblade 2 does so many things wrongs mechanically that I feel it need the DE treatment to be on par with the rest of the saga.
>>729402260>xenoblade 2 does so many things wrongsYou're such a stupid fucking retard.
>>729402232Both of those have switch 2 ports which natively give them 1080p you fucking moron. Like are you just actually retarded? Do you not understand anything about resolutions?
>>729402326little touchy about the game aren’t we?
>>729402260If DE happens, I sure fucking hope they will try to speed up menuing, field checks, merc missions at VERY LEAST.Other than that, pls buff shield hammers and some weaker blades.
>>729402369Little touchy about your stupid opinions aren't we?
>>729402056It will get a DE disguised as a Switch 2 edition
>>729402363>Both of those have switch 2 portsIt's just a switch 2 edition. It's a performance boost plus some bullshit that no one cares about. XC2 will probably a Switch 2 boost but it won't have new story content or gameplay overhauls or any of that shit. >>729402464Nope. You're never getting a story epilogue, cope.
>>729394901>complexYeah very complex
>>729402582>It's a performance boostit also gives them native 1080p resolutions instead of having to upscale via the switch 2. I cannot believe I have to keep telling you this. I cant believe people on this board are so fucking retarded they dont understand something as basic as resolution.If you play the switch 1 version of totk on your switch 2, it is scaling the game from 720p to 1080p and it does so imperfectly because those are not whole number factor differences. If you play the switch 2 version of totk, it natively runs at 1080p on your screen and so the output is not imperfectly stretched.This is something you should know, and if you didnt know this you should never post on the internet again.
>>729402904Cool. XC2 still isn't getting a DE
>>729402960I never said it was, im telling you that you are wrong, and no amount of damage control will save you from this. Stop posting, never post again.
>>729402960Are you the same anon that denies a 2DE in every thread? Do you dislike 2 or do you think 2DE is just an impossibility?
>>729403038No I'm good. >>729403136Not your boogeyman. Take your meds schizo.
>>729394901one thing I wish they had tuned better is the application of the buffs of your equipment and your blades. things like +50% damage if you do X while using a blade or equipment. this isn't only in 2 but all these extra buffs rarely have an opportunity to be used because if you're playing the other parts of the combat system well the enemy will be dead before you can take advantage of it.at least in 2 you can adjust the enemy stats to fix it but that involves trial and error before you find a sweet spot
>>729403215
>>729403203Don't bring misfortune into the thread just like that.
Im playing XenoX and i think the game needs more hot Xenos and less long lancers/blast fencers
>>729403215But why are you so against it?
>>729403721hes probably a schizo fanboy who thinks 2 is perfect and so the idea of a definitive edition directly contradicts his worldview that nothing needs to be fixed.
This game is pure kinosoulium.
>>729404801It's indeed what it is.
>>729404801More like coomilium
