FIRST XENOBLADIES THREAD OF 2026
>>729943701You mean Homura and Hikari right?
>>729943952You're the first person to ever make this post.
>finish Xeno 2 today>game crashes in the middle of the final cutscene and tells me that the game files are corruptMOTHER FUCKERAlso Saika is best girl.
>Still no Switch 2 upgradeBut why?
>>729943701>Pyra Mythra
>>729944040What do I win?
Nice blades.
i love mythra!!
>>729943701Just played through the main series, finished Future Redeemed two days ago. 1 was mostly great with some faults, 2 was about 20% good - 80% trash, but 3 was truly peak. I literally shed a single tear at 3's end. And even though 2 was mostly shit, the music and world were still excellent, I don't regret playing it. A genuinely undervalued experience of a series. Excited to see what if Monolith's next game is a continuation of the series, and where the future of this conjoined, single world lies, or if Nintendo will let them try something new
Homura is HEAVY!
another /vg/ refugee thread
>>729943701
>>729943701Give me reasons other than their looks why these two are better than XC3 girls.
>>729944452Haha oh what an embarrassing form to be in haha
>>729944570>2 was about 20% good - 80% trash, but 3 was truly peakI hate 3tards so fucking much.
>Kimono spammer has an American variantwhy
We will get the Xenoblade patch announcement in February. Trust the plan.
>>729944687Give me reasons other than their looks why XC3 girls are better than XC2 girls. And don't pretend like you actually care about any XC3 girl besides Mio.
>>729944691I know haha
>>729944462>>729944714tips fedora
I can't really remember much about 3. It just didn't really leave much of an impression
NTR
>>729944829stop giving him attention
>>729944845No one remembers anything about it other than the hour-long cutscene at the prison and the ending photo of Rex's harem.
>>729944845>BITCHQUEEN
>>729944665I mean, just look at /vg/. Can you blame them?
>>729944965schizo
Third game was way better.
>>729944452For me, it's Fiora
>>729944786Eunie and Ethel are better than any Xenoblade girl besides Melia
>>729944965The most grating character in any xenoblade game.
>>729945063Second game was way better.
>>729945126kys falseflagging schizo
>>729944726I can't help it anon! I just don't think I've ever said "this sucks" so much while playing a game. And gameplay wise, I think it perfectly fits the bill of "game that doesn't get good until 30 hours in." I just couldn't give a fuck about Rex or his crew. Shulk and Noah are way better protags, and heroes/classes are superior to blades in terms of missions, story, and gameplay. The only blade I felt had any depth was Nia, and she ends up in 3 anyway, arguably with a more vital role. But I thought the way Klaus and the old world were integrated into 2 was excellent, and I did enjoy traveling from titan to titan.
>>729944845I actually quite like 3, but I agree. I'd guess that's because at least 60% of the game's plot is a meandering road trip where not a whole lot really happens.
>>729943701They don't make game as sovlful as XC2 anymore
>finally learning Blender to made Xenoblade girl renders>find out everything is broken into .dae model portions on the first game>5.0 ended .dae support>importing portion of Fiora's body breaks down every time I try to run the scriptCan anyone here potentially run me through what I'm fucking up? Also, is there a repository of scenery models I can refer to to pull things like Colony 9?
>>729945349>Kazuya furiously clicking in the back
>>729943701Do you idiots just make the same thread every day just to post the same garbage over and over and over?
>>729945426>Download older blender that script works in>Import models>Save file>Open file in 5.0Is it that hard anon?
>>729943701Cows, fit only to be a product.
>>729945280>Shulk and Noah are way better protags>only blade I felt had any depth was Nia,Why are Niatards like this?
>>729945282Apart from the repetitive nature of the fights with the consuls i really enjoyed the journey overall, to me X3 was the only logical step after X1 and X2 and a solid conclusion to the trilogy.
>>729945126If you like XC3 then you're a fake Melia fan.
>>729945814She was my first Blade. Pretty solid for early to middle runs.
>>729945814She has the same VA as my brown wife.

>>729945948Zoe is so best it's not even funny man.
X>3>1>Torna>2>FR>FC
>>729944845>>729944965>>729945282Maybe it's because 3 is still fresh in my mind, but slowly peeling away the story of the world as the game continued is what I enjoyed about it. I feel like 1 and 2 gave you the backstory of the world in bursts, while 3 had less of those bursts in favor of giving you the pieces that slowly come together. The first time you see a Moebius, the main party introducing themselves to each other, everyone getting their interlinks, making your way through Maktha for the first time, fighting the fake queen Melia, exploring the city, thinking Noah got executed after Mio gets sent on, N's backstory, and getting a boat and setting sail were all so excellent to me. I haven't had a game experience like this in so long. The final boss did suck imo, not a fan of Z. I thought Malos was really lame, but somehow Z managed to be more boring.>>729945560I just appreciated Nia's arc as opposed to Pyra practicing blushy cushy right after meeting Rex and Mythra getting backseated to Pyra outside of Torna, and even there, all her development takes place after the DLC ends. Rex (and Pyra and Mythra) as a character are pretty one note which is fine for what that story is, I just prefer the depth that Shulk and Noah's backstories were given. But I love this series and will playing every entry Monolith releases.
Will we see the new Monolithsoft game in the January Direct?
>>729946058The way Melia was treated in 3 is more than enough to make me hate the game.
>>729946058>the main party introducing themselves to each other, everyone getting their interlinksOh please. Don't pretend like you actually care about any characters in 3 besides Noah and Mio.
>>729945814Nice of her to keep flashing her panties
I'm playing 1 and I have damn near exclusively used the boys, with Riki occasionally subbing for Dunban when the geriatric 30 year old man needs to rest his backI get why Sharla is useless but what's the use case for Melia and Fiora
>>729945282>60% of the game's plot is a meandering road trip where not a whole lot really happensIts not even necessarily that. So much of the early part of the game is trying to give background to characters who, in the games world, are meaningless and don't matter. Also doesn't help that when we get to the main plot, the main characters are so disconnected from the plot that they are basically being told what to do. Melia and Nia should have had a bigger presence and should have been what helped tie everything together Nia also should have told Mio she was her mom soon after they met. The game spends a lot on the crew learning where babies come from and this could have tied the characters to the real world as Mio and the others have actual families like the people in the city do just not in this world. It would have been a better motivation than "this place sucks, lets try something different
>>729946028X2=Torna=X3=FR>Cross>X1>FC
>>729946283>Nia also should have told Mio she was her mom soon after they metOh fuck off already retard, they already pandered to you niafaggots in every way imaginable.
>>729946051There will never be a game like Xenoblade 2 ever again.
>>729946432He went away with a bang though
>>729946115That's fair, Melia was one of my fav 1 characters, but if we have to choose between Nia or Melia getting the main queen role, I'm glad they gave the screen time to Nia. It also worked for me in the sense that Melia was almost put on a pedestal as the person you work hardest to save, which puts her above Nia in that sense.>>729946189But I enjoyed all the Kevesi side. Taion and Sena, sure, idgaf about them, but Lanz and Eunie were great additions and all the party members having side story quests that further focused on each of them (as well as each party member being the "main" character when meeting new heroes) was awesome. I'd put Eunie and Lanz up there with my favorite party members in the series as a whole. And I loved some of the heroes like Gray and Ethel. Even the ones I didn't like or found annoying I found charm in how much I didn't like them.
>>729946051Doesn't she have the most jiggly of all blades?
>>729944462He won.
>>729945251kys coomer, you L O S T>>729945825If you liked XC2, you're a fake Xeno fan
>>729946435Saitom will never design a character duo as good as Hikari and Homura.
>>729946494>It also worked for me in the sense that Melia was almost put on a pedestalNo she wasn't. The game just shits on her the entire time. They even had to put that stupid fucking sword in her room just because they couldn't let anyone think that she's moved on from Shulk. >>729946538If you like Melia then how you can like 3?
I made my hot wife in Miitopia
>>729946494>likes Eunie but hates her boyfriend???
>>729946283>>729946365Do you guys think Crys is one of Shulk's kids? I thought it would be interesting if Shania turned out to be one of Rex's.
>>729946695You're such a stupid fucking retard. Shania comes from Panacea's house. And if Crys was related to Shulk then they would've made it clear like with Mio.
I just played Xenoblade Chronicle 3 and finished it a few days ago. XB2 was leagues better than XB3.
>>729946783But it would be cool though, no? To show the effects of Aionios on the inhabitants and being robbed of nurture after birth?
Playing XB2 when it was new was truly a magical experience.Getting swallowed by that titan and then ending up in that gorgeous environment for the first time was insane.
>>729946943No.
3 sucks because of its awful unskippable hour long chain attacks
>>729945110why boner
>>729946919Yeah but 3 has my wife in it.
>>729943701PAWGs
>>729947282>AI garbage
>>729947304Yeah
>>729947251She has a canon love interest though.
>>729947053Hard to believe they never fixed that giant op blue monkey running around in front of Torigoth, the hell Monolith...
>>729947427>Lets canon get in the way.I can self insert as anyone and anything in order to fuel my delusions.
How come I never see people talking about XB3? Its always 2
>>729943952I like the names Pyra and Mythra more :)Doesn't mean I like the rest of the localization though.
>>729947251>literally the only good thing about 3 at allGod damn it was a disappointment.
>>729947582tbf you'll never find 2 fans talking about what they like beyond the tits
>>729947582I don't know if it is just waifu stuff or what, but 2 is personally my favorite. I rate them like 2 > 1 > 3 > X (sorry, Xbros. I still like it).It just really resonated with me. The great irony is that a game that is mostly known for fat fucking tits and blushy crushy has genuinely great story with an extremely strong ending.
>>729946606choco was fucking based for giving her glasses
>>729947597I really like the combat system, especially the underlying classes and being able to mix and match arts across Kevesi and Agnian classes.
>>729947582But anon i love both equally, anyway here is more Ethel.
>>729947582XB3 is so forgettable. It's just the Noah and Mio Show and neither of them are particularly interesting. The only things they care about are romance and flutes.
>>729947494I liked that, actually. It humbles the player and gives you something to work towards.
>>729947698tbf you'll never find 3 fans talking about what they like beyond Mio
>>729946662NTA, Taion has the opposite problem of Sena where he has the screentime but isn't allowed to do much with it. Most of his best moments are when he's allowed to show some actual personality. They should have embraced the fact he's from 2's world and made him that little bit zanier so he's not stuck being the smart, uptight one all the time.
>>729947702This. Yes, the game is extremely campy and troped to all hell at points but it managed to stick the landing and actually have a coherent, well constructed and engaging story. The last 20% of the game (essentially everything from Pneuma showing up onward) is unbeaten by any RPG in my opinion. The World Tree is a fantastic final dungeon. 3 has exactly one scene which is good (the N and M switch) and the rest of the game you really don't give a shit about. Even if you wanted to give a shit about it, the ending is just "You know everything you did? Well, its gone now, fuck you". All of the decisions in 3 are baffling. Locking jobs to opposite allegiances is stupid, having 6 + 1 people in every god damn fight is annoying and the entire double art stacking thing is useless. Not to mention that any fight at all is instantly over once you get a chain attack going. At least in 2 you had to work to build up orbs to get a good chain but in 3 once that meter is full the fight is fucking OVER.
>start to play XDE>pause for a bit>citron updates>no longer works>can't find fork that works>ryujinx doesn't workwtfalso if someone could spoonfeed where the FUCK to get ryujinx without 100 viruses and discord servers that would be nice, used to have the beta channel updater but that imploded
>>729947582My problem with 3 is that it has a lot of similarities to 2 but the excuse is just everyone is autistic test tube babies instead of the MC being a boy turning into a man. Rex's reactions to everything Pyra/Mythra does and all of the romance and slow burn stuff works because of his age. He is basically discovering his sexuality. Noah and Mio are just autistic reincarnations that were meant to be and it is just waiting for it to happen eventually but getting annoyed because they're adults.I am being harsh though. I like 3 and much like everyone else I did find the emotional climax of the game compelling, but it is just not a good as 1 or 2.
>>729948068>did find the emotional climax of the game compelling,You actually liked watching a literal 1 hour long cutscene?
MY BIRD BRIDE
>>729948068>Noah and Mio are just autistic reincarnations that were meant to be and it is just waiting for it to happen eventually but getting annoyed because they're adults.That's due to being recycled from Fei and Elly
>>729944462I fucking love Mikumari!
>>729948110I was annoyed at the length but everything in this series is over the top so in retrospect I am glad I watched it but in the moment I was kind of wishing they'd get a move on.
>>729948068Sounds like Rex got groomed more like
>>729946074God i wish
>>7299475823 had a lot of filler.
>>729948427It's definitely possibly to interpret it that way. Pyra is clearly interested in him too and seems to go out of her way, on several occasions, to put him in a sexual-esque situation. She also is definitely made to be motherly. I think it is a pretty important part of the game's themes that the first woman in his life serves as both a mother figure and the source of his sexual awakening.
>>729947989See I enjoyed the classes and was more annoyed with moves in 2 being locked behind blades, being able to have only 3 blades at once, and also not being able to change characters on the fly. The double arts in 3 gave a reason to master each class. Agreed on chain attacks though.>>729948068I just didn't personally see that development with Rex. From the getgo with Pyra, they are completely dedicated to each other 100%, just like he is with anyone in his crew. The difference with her is that she reciprocates that 100% devotion that he gives. It's not so much discovering sexuality as a story finding true love, but that love is there from the beginning. It never changes.Even then, the romance in both 2 and 3 take a back seat to the story of the overall world. But the romance of 3 affects the plot of their world, and ends with Noah and Mio making the decision to sacrifice their love in favor of saving their worlds, which is the opposite choice N made, giving their romance a purpose beyond a romance plot. I feel like if someone was in it to see how two characters end up together, I understand being annoyed, but as someone that doesn't typically care about the romance, I was impressed with how it was actually used as something with meaning and weight in the overall plot. Pneuma "sacrifices" herself in the end of 2, but Rex has no part in that decision (his reaction to it is the same reaction he'd have had at the beginning of the game), and that decision is immediately undone in favor of happy ending.
>>729949315>Noah and Mio making the decision to sacrifice their love in favor of saving their worlds,This is also immediately undone in favor of a happy ending. Noah immediately gets teleported to be with Mio.He also left his friends behind and will probably never see them again. Eunie and Lanz won't ever see Noah, Mio, Taion or Sena again either.
>>729943952Pymura and Mythkari
>>729949414The Xenoblade 1 and 2 universes were remade in a way that they'd be able to interlink and ultimately safely fused into the same universe, they'll all meet each-other again in the new universe
Do we know what Monolith are working on next? I'm rather excited.
>>729943952>>729944307Based
>>729944159>Also Saika is best girl.My nigga
>>729949824>>729949863
>>729949646>Xenoblade 1 and 2 universes were remade in a way that they'd be able to interlink and ultimately safely fused into the same universe,No shit retard. I played FR, you don't need to explain this >they'll all meet each-other again in the new universeNope, only Noah and Mio will. Eunie and Lanz are on a different continent and don't have any method to communicate with Noah or to travel long distances over oceans. They'll just grow up and forget about him while Noah makes a new life with Mio.
>>729945432I come here every day and I've never seen this thread before.
Why are dubfags like this?
>>729949912Least mentally ill dubtranny
>>729949646I hope Xenoblade 4 is just then getting their shit wrecked by the Xenoblade X crew
>>7299475823 has a lot of flaws that really sink it.The first consul you fight is the most climatic one till the prison. You can easily burn eighty hours between them.The plot also peaks in the prison, but you have like 15 hours of the main quest to get to the end.All the eschatology value of having to move on from eternal CoD limbo is killed because the world is dying anyway to solve that they wouldn't be able to kill the first consul without it, then barely matter after that.And taking away the brokeness at all levels of the gameplay making it a bit boring compred to 2 in exchange of putting the most retardly broken chain attack in the series doesn't help the game. at all.And I can't even think what would be not reaching the final boss overleveled and dying after all those cutscenes in the final form.
>>729950593You can tell this is just salt from a media illiterate 2 fan
Pyra, Mythra, and Nia groomed Rex to be their perfect husband! Do not forget that!
Will they course correct on story writing in XC4 or are we just gonna get fucked to Kingdom Hearts proportions in regards to that? I don’t know if this franchise can survive another story that doesn’t mostly stand as it’s own thing.
>>729943701Fucking finally
>>729952775>media illiterate 2 fan Kill yourself tranny
>>729953281WTF is this real?
>>729944845THE MAN WHO WAS KEKED TO DEATH
>>729945147But enough about Shania
>>729944845Turns out the worldbuilding and characterbuilding they HAD to sacrifice to make 3's plot work the way they wanted it to had effects on the whole of the game.Who would've guessed that a recycled world full of military colonies of teenage child soldier clones and one actual location city named City full of people who's existence is rebelling against the system of clones and military colonies is kind of fucking boring and lacking in personality. Who could've forseen making way too many fucking villains that only exist to give an opposable form to the game's message and naming them after letters of the alphabet was a bad idea?
>>729947907I think he works as a straightman who's allowed to be a little silly on occasion. He may not stick out and have an out-there personality, but his presence would be sorely missed in the group dynamic were he not there to be stuck up and annoyed with people like Lanz and Eunie.
>>729949789A new Xeno and Zelda are both highly probable and an announcement nearly imminent. Keep your eyes peeled.
>>729949414>>729949914Did you have your head up your ass when you finished xenoblade 3? The most the ending of 3 does is hint at the possibility of a reunion, that is not at all comparable to 2's where Pneuma's sacrifice is immediately undone and a reunion is flat out shown. It is at most a tease that Noah and Mio will reunite.If you actually played these games on release, you'd know that. Future Redeemed, which came out a year after, shows the two earths becoming one, but we don't know how, or under what circumstances the characters reunite. It can be assumed they do, but again, the earths merging didn't come until the DLC. The ending of 3 itself remains as one of sacrifice. We can assume whatever fanservice bs they pass off next will bullshit some reason for all of the characters to meet again, this time answering questions about 3 that didn't need answers, just like FR answered unneeded shit about 1 and 2.

>>729956862>which xeno games are worth playing?>implying i can give you a non-biased answerhaven't played xenosaga yet, but the other xeno games are good games worthy of being played
Tora's grandpa was based
>>729956862>Worth playingAll of them except 3. It's not bad but rather save it for when you don't have anything else to play. As for Xenosaga, I haven't played them but apparently the 2nd one is the worst of the three.
>>729943701Xenoblade would be a MUCH BETTER game if it played like M&L or Expedition 33

>>729947582>Its always 2>la epic harem>la gigachad rex>la epic winner NiaThis 90% of discussions about Xenoblade 2 I see. Even outside of that place
>>729956778I like how she plays along with his chuuni bullshit and does poses. Shame that she stops doing that once she joins the party.
I really hope that XB 4 expands on the combat. They should unironically borrow mechanics like zones of control from tactical rpgs and crpgs. Also, I had this cursed thought that popped into my head about Xenoblade 3. It has the problem or quirk of Baldur's Gate 3 where it seems like the female party members had way more time and effort put into them than the male ones.
>>729946435>men want one thing...
I just want Xenoblade to treat Melia nicely for once.
>>729958638Real.
>>729958354Really enjoyed X3 combat system, Chain attacks and Ouroboros included and found it the most satisfying in the series so i'm hopeful they'll stick with it for the sequel or at the very least bring something fairly similar. Giving us back the mechs would be a great idea as well, i need my dose of giant robots.
>>729947053Uraya, home...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzcG4ADSY-Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weBdLPLaON0But my favorite is Fonsa Myma nighthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSQ03Q5xLh4What a masterpiece. The entire sondtrack is a masterpiece. Pretty much every single of its hundred tracks is at least 4/5, with 50% of the soundtrack being 5/5 tracks anyway. Only FFIX can rival to XC2's soundtrack in sheer quantity AND quality.
>>729947494Robart?. Its Monolith traidtion to dump a lv80 monkey in the starter zone
>>729946074Can they at least give us a Switch 2 patch for X? Jesus, they really don't give a shit about this game. Not even a small collector's edition. Just a quick bake to make the annoying fanbase shut the fuck up and then they moved on to something else.
>>729946051I rolled her and KOSMOS early on in my first XC2 playthrough and used them all game.She's cute.
>>729947582XC3 is just worse.There are a few memeable scenes, but besides that the whole game is a nonsensical mess.The characters are shallow too.(decent combat though)
>>729960216yup that's the one, my butt still remembers ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGiDaW3KX68
>>729960823I love recall our names so much.
Robart is just a mere distraction. We know who is the true predator.
>>729960913For me it's Incoming! but the entire OST is godlike anyway. Best J-RPG soundtrack of the last 15 years easily.
Just in sheer awe at the level of SOUL in 2. Holy kino!
>>729961313I tend to go with the unique monster themes because it's what you will hear a whole lot when you are tryharding endgame builds.But I also liked a lot of other songs from X
>>729944845>>729944929Stop trolling
>>729961313>>729961493Oh also, the first Xenoblade regular boss theme because playing this shit blind on release was surprisingly difficult. You have no idea how many times I had to fight that bitch before figuring out what I was doing wrong, you know the one.
>>729961508>3fag can’t even comprehend the idea people just not being all that enthused about his gameCry to the jannies harder, maybe it’ll work this time.
>>729961493X also has some killer tracks in it but in a completely different register, it fits the military aesthetic perfectly i'd say but for me Mitsuda is the Goat, really looking forward to who they'll pick for the next one.
>>729962306On that note, XB4 literally when.Or a game like it if they don't want to work on the series anymore.
>>729962381hopefully not too long anon.
Xenoblade 1 WiiOr Xenoblade Definitive Switch (On Switch 2)What should I play?
>>729962684The DE, the expert mode is a godsend
>>729962684DefinitiveWii version's character models are really unappealing today.
>>729962684definitive edition with original audio > wii > definitive edition with new audio > 3ds
>>729962684Definitive without a second thought, anon. one of the rare instance where a remaster/remake/whatever ends up being good.
>>729962684Definitive is the most complete but also has some visuals that are more in line with the rest of the series.
I liked 1 but I can't help but feel like people overrate it. The cast is really bad for example
>>729963429same here but you can't really have 2 without 1 and 1 without 2. They are the perfect mirror of each other after all.
>>729959049Ouroboros was a bit shakey but chain attacks were pretty nice. I'm also a big fan of how they unbound revives from the chain attack gauge and let you control all the party members which removes the weird thing before where if you didn't quite kill a boss with a chain attack, you could be left with an empty gauge and dying would be game overI just really hope the next game can figure out tanks properly
>>729947582>Its always 2Is it really discussions when all threads are all about the waifus or the chad Rex harem end (which comes from 3 anyway)?
>>729943701minge, very fluffy minge.

>>729963812i think it's a pretty cool core mechanic when a boss or special is gaining the upper hand on your team and you can unleash it to save the day at the very last second of the fight as it is often the case in FR. It's obviously not something to be abused of too much since it can be fairly repetitive when used constantly but it's definitely there when you need it.
>>729958354Xenoblade 3's combat as base ans improved + FR's Affinity system would be so cool.
>>7299634291 is great but definitely overrated. Every other game in the series has it beat in terms of worldbuilding, lore and gameplay, even 3.For me, it'sX > 2 > 3 > 1 >>>> Most every other modern RPGs
>>729947582Xb3 has amazing music, a good central cast, bad villains aside from N kino, and its vistas and locations are all mismatched from 1+2. I love 3, but I understand why it falls short with its weak overall plot and ending chapters
>>729964352
I'm about to give X a try, any good tips to keep in mind?
>>7299667301. Play Definitive Edition2. Once you reach rank 10 with a class, don't forget to change class, or you'll be wasting class exp3. If you want to experiment with a class' arts, your safest bet is to play as one of your party members with the same class, invest their battle points instead of yours and see if you actually like the arts. Your MC is a one-man-army by mid-game anyway so you can't really "waste" party members' BPs.4. You should follow the main story at least until you gain the ability to plant probes before really going wild with the open world exploration5. Do named NPC sidequests, even seemingly mundane ones usually lead into greater sidequest chains that are the best in the series, period, and those chains are usually how you unlock more weapon shops.
>>729966730Play at your own pace and don't be discouraged by the open ended gameplay at the beginning of the story. The progression curve is also very long, expect to spend a fairly long time roaming Mira and climbing the ladder of your Blade division. Also don't expect something similar to Main Xenoblade trilogy since it's a completely different experience, be free to customize your character the way you want, explore and Have Fun.
>>729967714Also don't forget to learn the how the Overdrive ability works since it will be really useful later in the game and not really well explained during the early tutorial stages. Speaking from experience here.
>>729954704>is at most a tease that Noah and Mio will reunite.No it fucking isn't. It spells it out for you clear as day.
>>729963429No the cast in 3 is bad. That's the cast that's actually overrated as fuck.
>>729943701Hello I only played Xenoblade 1. Can I still post here?
>>729956778She's an straight up Pedo she Groomed Zeke.
>>729968475Only if you like large breasts.
>>729965245>good central castNone of you even care about any of the cast besides Noah and Mio.
>>729961508Shut the fuck up retard.
>>729956778Well in the end she got the last word, just like Rex Penis.
>>729958638Then why did you defend XC3?
>>729959049Chain attacks and ouroboros are so shit. Ouroboros are boring and slow and get used up too quickly and chain attacks turn it into a regular turn based JRPG
I hope the next Xenoblade game will still have cute girls in it.
>>729969182As long as Saitom is here for the chara design duty that shouldn't be a problem.
>>729967310>You should follow the main story at least until you gain the ability to plant probes before really going wild with the open world explorationDo you think I should really focus on the main story until I get mechs and then flying mechs? I've heard it takes a while to unlock those.
>>729954356>but his presence would be sorely missed in the group dynamicNo it wouldn't retard.
>>729969570Yes it would, gay retard.
>>729969838No it wouldn't retard.
>>729969838He doesn't even contribute to the "group dynamic" It's the Noah and Mio Show, there is no 'grpup dynamic" Stop pretending like you actually give a shit about Taion or any other character in 3
>>729969390>Do you think I should really focus on the main story until I get mechs and then flying mechs? I've heard it takes a while to unlock those.No, not at all. On-foot exploration is the most fun thing to do in this world, and on average, you get your mech 30 hours in, and flying mech like, 50-60 hours in, just go at your own pace.
Noah might be the most boring character in the whole franchiseMio doesn't have a lot going for her but she's cuteEunie is pretty coolTaion somehow manages to be one of the best characters in this gameDid we really need two comedy-relief idiots? Sena just gets overshadowed by Lanz
There is a picture with Rex with either Pyra or Mythra (I don't remember) happy because they bought him a Switch 2. Anyone have it?
>>729944845Boring villains and teenagers being (retarded) teenagers isn't interesting.(And them blaming N is utterly retarded when they were just blessed by being the main cast).
>>729969335I don't think Saitom will be there any longer since he is freelance, and it is known that they want a definitive Xenoblade artist.
>>729970347Sena doesn't get a chance to shine especially with the whole Side Story: Sena (Actually Ghondor) thing. But she's cute, her outfit is hot and I like her stupid giant hammer.
I wish we got this as a costume for her
>>729970347The whole cast feels too bloated. Like Ethel and Cammuravi's bullshit drags on way too long because there's two of them and they both serve the exact same purpose. It's a consequence of the stupid fused world bullshit.
3's story being meaningless is such a stupid critic. In the ending of the story, you have all of the heroes gathered, and I think even those you never met show up. This mean the game treat the sidequests as canon and part of the story. Sidequests that are about the soldiers interacting with Ouroboros, questioning their status quo and changing.Which leads to all of them agreeing to basically deleting their world so that people they've never met will have a chance to live.And you know, it was very fun to see the colonies warming up to each others, its a very fun experience.
>>729970347>Noah might be the most boring character in the whole franchiseReal. I have no idea why some people praise him so hard. I can only assume they're huge Miofags like Noah himself
>>729971037The ending beyond pissed me off. I did all the sidequests, taught the colonies how to interact with each other, produce their own food, and I thought the whole point was to rebuild civilization and I thought it was really sweet.Turns out none of that mattered, the spongy spuds, the personal development, all of that is just being reset.
>>729971005I'm just mad because we were robbed of a loli Ethel hero.
>>7299723873tards will reply to you with some shit like "b-but the memories are still there in the back of their mind so it still mattered!"As if Zeon learning about low level agriculture will even matter in a world where robots can just automate crop production
>>729972387But it did matters, because otherwise they would stay as soldiers killing each others and everything would go boom sooner or latter? I mean, that's pretty much what the game's story wants to tell you. Not so much as "letting go", but rather to accept the inevitable, though still defend your ground when someone push you.
>>729968783How stinky is the person who owns this?
>>729969948>Stop pretending like you actually give a shit about Taion or any other character in 3When you say shit like this, where you tell someone they don't actually think what they think, you kind of give the game away that you aren't being sincere. Reel it back in.
>>729943701I am almost finished with Torna and I have realized that I have never changed my party member's weapon element. Am I missing out?
>>729972863>everything would go boom sooner or latter?So what? There'll be some other bullshit in XC3 that threatens to end the world.
>>729973974I know no one cares about Taion or the XC3 cast because they have no fanart at all. Unlike the XC2 cast
>played every Xeno game from Gears to XI'm still holding off from playing 2 and 3, what am I missing?
>>729944845I really really liked that it had a blue mage class but it felt like a step down mechanically from 2
>>7299742492 is the best game if you can tolerate anime cringe. 3 is about as good as 1
I say 3's ending being pointless as a joke. Really, it was more a means to an end.
What would kill your hype for whatever Monolithsoft announces next? >Next game is full action RPG. >Next game ditches any sci-fi aspect of Xeno titles (new franchise, maybe?)
>>729974806>Really, it was more a means to an end.Which is stupid.
>>729974859Anyone from XC3's cast appearing in a trailer. I never want to see the Teenage Jacket Squad ever again.
>>729974859You didn't mention any deal-breakers. This >>729974954 however, would totally make me lose all interest in the game.
>>729947582XB2 is just a better game that left much more of a lasting impression on people, especially back when it was new. The worldbuilding is fantastic, the music is top5 sountracks ever, the characters are all charming and likeable and the villains are also very strong, and while the story might be simple, it really works and does what it sets out to do to near perfection. XB3 feels kind of half-assed in comparison. The premise of the game could have been fucking excellent if they had stuck to the idea and gone all out, but it's like they got cold feet after having finished 60% of the game and took it in a more traditional direction. The result was a world completely bereft of any personality or identity, boring music, boring characters and a plot that was completely nonsensical. Whats worse, they tried to prop their shallow game up by ltying it to the previous gamess, as if to bait fans into playing their game since they would be interested in seeing what became of those worlds or characters or something, but it's barely ever mentioned since XB3 also does its damndest to stand on its own fucking legs when it really can't. Then Future Redeemed was almost exactly that and was 10 times better than the main game.
>>729974859Honestly? A hard tie in to Gears or Saga would temper my excitement only because I have no experience with those series so that would make all the old game homework. And I'm not all that interested in that world and story.
Hey /v/, how's it popping?
>>729977372Its insane how he is even worse character than Rex
>>729943701did xenoblade get a switch 2 patch yet?
>still no Switch 2 patch for any of the games
>>729978635You have to wait for Xenoblade 2: definitive edition and Xenoblade: definitive edition: definitive edition
>>729979042I will wait patiently if it looks even close to this
>>729979042Not happening.
What went wrong?
>>729979589She was a DLC character and Monolith was afraid of power creep since 2.
>>729979589Gross design. Looks like some body horror shit.
Face it retards. At best you'll get is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 Edition that only includes a resolution bump for $10.
>>729979589Imo, the biggest problem with 3 is its world design.Now I do think mechanically they handled the exploration well. But there is surprisingly lack of landmarks for a monolith soft open world adventure game. XB1 obviously has you traversing on the titans, and even on the Wii it's cleverly design in a way so these hulking landmasses are visible depending on which part of the story you're in. 2 they take that concept and give you even more titans. You're on it, you're inside of it, the titans are fighting, it's nuts. Now I do understand it's hard to top that, but with 3 you have the Ferronis which it's cool. Giant mech type things that are also colonies but...the colonies themselves are soulless, but it hurts the design of the game. The places you're exploring never really top the locations they're based on. They always just kind of fall flat in comparison. As others said the game lacks somewhat of an identity, and even things like enemy diversity takes a big hit. I'll also say this. I'm not really a fan of job systems because my autism tells me I shouldn't be hanging around in a finished class because there are other classes to level up. The designs themselves look jarring on some of the characters and fashion designs don't really negate that. I think XBX handles its class system a little better as by the time you actually master one, you're probably getting bored of it and want to try out the next thing. Also gives you way more options in how you want to build things out whereas a lot of the classes in XB3 just feel lacking in one way or another. Let's not even get started on how Noah eventually just trivializes the entire game. Characters don't have any real distinct identity because you can switch them to anything, and I do think that's a bit unfortunate. Mixing the cooldown arts with the XB2 styled arts is interestign but XB2 classes just wind up being way more fun.
>>729979924I haven't quite tried X yet so I don't know how the classes work there but in 3 for me there was no greater dread then reaching max rank in the classes for my characters and then having to spend half an hour in menus changing everyone's class and accesories and skills and gems and master arts

>>729981016You will NEVER be a woman, tranny.
>>729981016
I'm a loser man and I love women who love Xenoblade
>>729981528>women who love XenobladeDon't exist.
>>729981016>>729981528samefag
>>729944305This is what's keeping me from playing them. I just don't want to deal with the dynamic resolution, why is it so hard for them to make patches for this? Just do the entire series and you'll be able to in the future release some compilation with all four games for $80 while advertising Xenosaga 1+2 HD or some sort of new Xeno game, it's simple money.
>>729981651>you'll be able to in the future release some compilation with all four games for $80That will never ever EVER happen. Xenoblade games are massive. There is no way they'd bundle all 4 for the price of one game. It would never be profitable. Not happening.
Her fucking problem?
>>729981709>It would never be profitable.The games are already made. They are profitable by default when you rerelease them. You could also easily pair XBC1 with XBCX, and then XBC2 + Torna + XBC3 if you really want to split it up like that.
>>729981709The only potential issue would be cartridge capacity but I think they could squeeze at least the main trilogy on a big one if they don't feel like jewing out.
>>729981820>The games are already madeYou can't just flip a switch and upgrade it to 4K or whatever.
>>729981868>>729981820It's not happening, they wouldn't even release Metroid Prime trilogy all in one on switch. If Metroid Prime couldn't get that treatment then there's no way Xenoblade will. Especially considering that any individual Xenoblade game dwarfs the first 3 Prime games combined
>>729981870I'm not saying to make it 4K, I'm saying spend the development time getting rid of dynamic resolution and running at 60 FPS and that's it. There is zero chance that costs you more than a couple hundred thousand dollars.
>>729981761The white shota has a full harem already
>>729958638I once saw a headcanon that Rex and Nia somehow let her into the polycule and Eunie is the resultIt's nonsense but I thought it was funny
>>729981987>polycule*harem Stop using reddit words
>>729981987Melia thinks Reyn is unattractive so she wouldn't like Rex either.
>>729981908>they wouldn't even release Metroid Prime trilogy all in one on switch.Because they for some reason wanted to do a full on remaster of the games instead of straight ports. My suggestion is just making a patch that comes on the cart that removes the dynamic resolution so it's a locked 1080p and then makes it 60 FPS. That's it. No remaster, no upscaling, nothing. The patch would also be free for owners, and make it easier for people to get games like XBC1DE or XBC2 Torna since they're starting to go up in price now that the reprint amounts are getting lower.
>>729981987Melia has Fiora and Shulk in her harem already though
Your response??
What official Pyra toys/merch should be made?
are xenoblade games good if I don't give a shit about anime fanservice?I tried the first one on the wii years ago but the gameplay seemed boring, and I hated how there were hundreds of sidequests that revolved around killing the same enemy a hundred times for a rare drop
>>729982273I'm going to monkey paw your request and put your Xenoblade collection on a Game Key Card.
>>729982659That's fine, the Switch 1 versions all still exist and have physical copies, I just want the patches.
>>729958638I don't think it's unreasonable to headcanon that she and Nikol could get together
>>729958224as opposed to >le epic cuck N>le epic ending kiss >le ironic Shaniafags
>>729982717That would be grooming
>>729982472Swimsuits that are 1 size smaller than what the label says
>>729982472Buttplug that speaks Pyra voice lines when used
I'm playing xc2 for the first time and enjoying doing fusion combos with my rolled blades, unlocking quests and affinity charts. I really don't like pyra though. Is there a mod or something to make her less distracting visually at least? I'm fine with a bit more cloth and smaller tits. Her demure character just doesn't match the hentai body type they gave her imo. The huge tits don't even jiggle. Can't even fap to it. Mythra is fine, but i think she'd also benefit from smaller tits. I have no issues with other characters. Heck, they're generally tame, and even Dahlia is cool and doesn't bother me, but pyra annoys me. Her model is just weird to me
>>729983510FaggotThough I do wish I could have Mythra with the black tights but still keeping the boob window
Mòrag is the best choice of Xenoblady
>>729983510>Her demure character just doesn't match the hentai body type they gave her imo.demure girls with obscene bodies and/or outfits are one of the best types though.

>>729967310Take your time. Like the other anon said, once you get the ability to place probes you should take time to explore around, and do so again once you make some breakthroughs in being able to travel (no spoilers, but you gain several mobility changes throughout the game). The world, exploration and sidequests in X are all incredible. There is a LOT to do, so don't rush it.

My wallpaper for, what, 6 or 7 years now? Time fucking flies. Before I know it, we'll celebrate the 10th anniversary of XC2 in 2027
>>729989596That's lovely I'll be saving that. I've had the same Symphogear wallpapers for god knows how many years now and I finally feel like a change.
Here is your Quantum Technochampion.Questions?
So we’re getting those Xenoblade Switch 2 upgrades this year, right…?
I think Shania is cute.
>>729989928Kino.
>>729990021I predict that we'll get at least one. However, there's something interesting about the ones that already exist.https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/honored-to-be-selected-texas-based-developer-hired-by-nintendo-for-switch-2-game-updates/Panic Button, the guys who handled the very performant DOOM ports for Switch did like 4 of the Switch 2 patches that came out on launch.So we already know Monolith has a team helping out with the new Zelda and are probably full steam ahead on making the next Xeno/whatever the new game they're working on is.Would Nintendo have panic button do a Switch 2 patch for Monolith? No, Monolith is probably handling it in house, and knowing them, they probably want to go beyond just the bare minimum like Panic Button did for those rather minimal patches. A lot of third parties have yet to patch their games, and yet we have some weird ones like Rock Star releasing the resolution and framerate boost for Red Dead on Switch which looks and runs great. I wish more 3rd parties would get on it but a lot are slow to patch it. I think for Monolith they probably just have their hands full and have bigger plans. Who knows when we'll feasibly get them. I predict we MIGHT get a couple this year, but maybe not.
>>729943701These are slop incarnate, I'm glad their garbage flopped
So why does everything in Xenoblade have such stupid fucking names? NPC names, enemy names and collectibles, they all sound fucking retarded.
>>729992916Maybe, but you'll never forget them. Territorial Rothbart is a legendary meme in the fanbase because he's in every game. Or some approximation.Also, there is a psued-meta reason for that. Only unique monsters are ultra powerful versions of regular monsters, usually with special abilities to make them even stronger, and they all have weird names, and in every game, they share a special battle them called "You Will Know Our Names" or something close. It's a clever reference to that. They are some of the most memorable fights in the series.Personally, the unique boss monster I still remember to this day is Confiscator Jimmy from 2. That fucker wrecked my shit like 15 times before I beat him.
