Is Xenoblade franchise any good?
>>
Yeah.
>>
Yes, but worse than gears saga.
Careful with threads though. there is one schizo who hates the idea that want to fuck fictional jrpg characters. Best to ignore the cancer.
>>
>>732159565
Yes, really good, it's my favorite video game franchise and I'm not even a nintendofag, I played them all on PC
3 sucks though

why people hate xeno 3 so much?
>>
>>732159565
X is one of the best games I've ever played with the absolute peak of progression in exploration and my favourite JRPG battle system.

XB was fine but rough. Story and OST saves it.

XB2 has better gameplay than XB but worse everything else. Felt like a massive step back from X.

XB3 is hot garbage and doesn't work narratively although the gameplay is pretty okay just nothing special.
>>
>>732159937
for me, it's the fucking boat
>>
>>732159940
The only treat win I can give 3 is that the character designer they contracted had the best artstyle second to X. The eyes in particular are beautiful in a way no other game can capture
>>
>>732159851
Doesn't that mean his title still works? There's no other franchise called Xenoblade Chronicles so Xenoblade is a reasonable shortening.
>>
>>732159937
For me, it kind of shits on the stuff XBX did (it wasn't B-Team outsourced Schlop like XB2) and turns the exploration in to a tickbox, the story itself peaks with the reunion yet the game itself has the balls to stumble on for another 20 hours. It has the worst side quests in the franchise. I felt like the OST was phoned in. Also fucking hell only 2 of the characters are worth investing in and the quest character system ensures that regardless of what you do the game always kind of plays the same.

Also fucking hell they didn't tweak the combat dialogue at all for 6 characters and they never shut the fuck up.

what's the game about even?
I know first is like you are on giant and u have cool sword, what's 2 and 3 about?
>>
Xenoblade 1 was legit pretty cool on release because playing a pseudo mmo open world kinda game wasn't as completely done to death (especially on the fucking Wii). The story is cool and has a cool setting and some legit neat twists near the end (if you're into that kind of anime JRPG god is a scientist from another dimension thing). X was a pretty neat open world game that didn't really click with me, but I respected what it was clearly going for. 2 felt insulting for the six hours I put up with it for. Dropped it once it introduced a fucking waifu gatcha system of all things. Didn't play 3, it looked super generic compared to the others.
Xenogears however is kino and by that I mean it's a terrible game but the story is one of a kind

>>
>>732159937
I don't hate it at all but I also agree it's the weakest in the series. For me it was once you get all your tools for combat, each encounter plays out the exact same. None of the classes felt like they were distinct either. I feel like the others games do a much better job of slowly adding cool new things to keep things fresh, and 3 just frontloads it all so you're doing the same thing for the next 70 hours

>No just make them all super vague so they never reference the time limit because we can't be bothered to have two versions of the dialogue in case you go back and beat them in the endgame
It felt like narratively it just doesn't suit the game world. Also there's various points in the game where the party goes off on tangents and there's only one part where the characters say "Seriously bro, Mio is dying - get moving" and then it's never talked about again. Also

>>732159937
For me, it lacks identity. It wants to be the one Xenoblade title that ties everything together concretely rather than in a wink and nudge manner, and as a result, it kind of plays itself off as a poor characture of the best parts of 1/X/2 (and the DLC) but never really does anything particularly well. It's very clumsy and clunky in it's world design. There's nothing in it that comes close to Bionis Knee, Primordia/Syvalum, or Gormott, it all feels very meh to explore as well

This will be your only honest answer: NO

Its sales are purely based of tendies desperate to put 5/10 games up on a pedal as 9/10 games because their system has so little jrpgs and they want to claim it as successful because exclusivity.

Xenoblade chronicles 1.
Garbage. Genuine garbage. It's an offline mmo with a story that could put you to sleep. Boring characters, boring enemies, boring gameplay.

Xenoblade chronicles 2.
Lies about everything. Claims it has connections to xenosaga and kosmos. Aside from them being Easter egg gotcha characters that are hard to get...that's it...

They shoehorn the zohar near the end but dont explain any of it. Story wise it's a mess, gameplay wise it's another crappy offline mmo. It's only real beauty is in the exploration as some areas are massive and real fun to explore. However that's it.

Xenoblade chronicles 3.
You'll be happy watching paint dry.

Xenoblade chronicles x
It could have been a great game but it's still an offline mmo which has ghetto music and censorship

I sincerely wish they put even 20% more resources in to the side quest cutscenes. It's pretty unsettling when all this whacky shit happens then the characters just stand around and occasionally repeat an animation. Really took me out of the moment.

Then for no reason you get a cutscene of Nagi Nothing-Personell-ng a bunch of grunts and I'm thinking "Fucking hell they couldn't have done this for even a handful more of these side quests?".

2 is about a land crisis (everyone's lebensraum is literally dying) and a small hero's adventure to solve it alongside a suicidal living weapon. The DLC shows why the weapon became suicidal.

3 is about fear, in short. Fear of death, fear of the unknown... the fear of moving on.

Most jrpgs on the pc have to have some sort of standard. That's different on the fisher price handheld so that's why.

Remember chapter 2 when Taion suggested the more dangerous but faster route through Fornis? Mio being bad with heat is a red herring. He suggested that because Mio didn't have much time left. Mio opposed it because she didn't want her term limit to be a burden on the group.
Here's a scene from chapter 2 where Mio stares at her term marker and then quickly pretends she wasn't doing that when Sena walks in
https://youtu.be/Z1SjFJ6RuoU?t=2956
In the same chapter a colony 4 solider starts heckling and insults her with the fact that she'll die soon.
Another scene from chapter 4 https://youtu.be/1h5SIZ_GUyA?t=859
There's tons of other things that I'm not mentioning because this is off the cuff. But with just this, They're doing a thing where Mio is really worried her term limit, but she's putting on a strong front. And she's so good at acting the keves members don't realize it's a sore spot for her. And the Agnus members who've known her for longer try to be considerate but because Mio doesn't want to be a burden she doesn't let them. And then it finally boils over in chapter 4 which is why she gets angry at Noah and loses it against P&O. How do you miss this?

>>732159565
The first one is a masterpiece and should be regarded on par with classics like Chrono Trigger and FFVII. X is a great open world game, and one of the only sci-fi open worlds in existence, and you can put hundreds of hours into and not get bored. 2 is heavily flawed but still fun to play through. 3 is great with less flaws than 2 and more consistency in its quality, but not on the level of 1 and X.

This thread convinced me to emulate Xenoblade Chronicles and holy shit they really did set out to create an offline MMO.
Can i skip all these sidequests and just focus on the story?
>>
>>732169650
No because you’ll miss side quests that have world building for evey 1 in 10
>>
>>732169650
Unironically you should get the random Fetch/Kill quests because they autocomplete while ignore the real sidequests unless you look up a guide for those that give skill trees/arts* (these usually require you to do more sidequests to have the location's required affinity thus making you do almost everything)
But yeah just skip them if you're only in it for the story. You don't need to do sidequests unless you want the extra skill trees for superbosses.

I tried X and I returned it the next day. You play as some mute faggot who befriends a bunch of annoying people in a barron wasteland of a map, where you "battle" giant monsters by circling them and spamming the same attack. Eventually the monster falls over, you gain some XP and then repeat the process. If that sounds fun to you, go for it. Definitely wasn't for me.

Skells are unlocked after chapter 6. The midway point.
>The song constantly starting and stopping
You unlock flight in chapter 9 late-mid game. There is a flight theme that starts when you're flying and stops when you're grouned. So if you're constantly going from the sky to the ground it can be annoying.
>you just use it to get the remaining probe locations
Skell and Flight unlock large chunks of the map that were previous inaccessible. These chunks contain dungeons, stuff for side-quest, super-bosses, ect.

Only people that hate 3 are 2 fans, not sure why, given that 3 was so good it almost managed to undo the damage that 2 did to the series. 3 Is not as good as 1, mind you.
>b-b-but the sales!!!
It's a miracle 3 sold as much as it did when you factor in how many people wrote off the series after 2. It wasn't just the designs of 2 that ruined the series in the eyes of the masses, plenty of people that wrote the game off bought and played 2 based on the acclaim of XB1 and dropped out in the first third because that first third is such a slog. It is the perfect example of a game that only gets good 30 hours in.

2 only sold as well as it did because it was released as the premium RPG in the launch year of the second most successful console of all time, which is also a console built for RPGs. It had 2 whole years and then the Switch's pandemic boom to take advantage of sales, but is held back because the game genuinely is not great. It's fine, just not nearly as good as 2 fans will try to tell you it is. Class system is flawed, but it's still better than blades.

>Class system is flawed, but it's still better than blades.
hard disagree, with the class system every character is the same, with the Blade system each of the four Drivers has unique battle animations for each weapon class so they all feel different
on top of that, each Blade has an unique Special so you can get tons of combinations if you wanted
>>
>>732175402
No, after the Mio thing it feels like the term lost all its weight in the plot and everything devolved into nonsensical BS after that seriously the whole thing with Moebius D&J should have been Lanz' Ascension quest and then the ending felt rushed and incomplete, doesn't help that Z is a terrible antagonist.

I'm a 2 fan and I don't hate 3, if something the most obnoxious motherfuckers are either 1 or X fans.

1 is solid, X is cool scifi. 2 is one of the worst games I've played and only retarded faggots with low powerlevels pretending to be anime connoisseurs pretend it's good.

Anyone telling you X isnt the best xenoblade is a disgusting casual secondary who started the series with 2 when "pyra and mythra" (quoted because their names are butchered in english) were released in super smash bros.
>>
>>732159565
No.
The first game is ok, a 7/10. Nice environments, good music.
Atrocious writing though, terrible quests and gameplay, and the combat involves you standing motionless waiting for meters to fill up and then watching your dude auto-attack.

2>1>>>>>>>>>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>X
Completed the entire main campaign and most of the side quests in X and never found where the so-called good gameplay is.

>>732159937
Almost all of the villains are interchangeable mooks with no individual importance to the plot. All of the main characters have access to every class and it removes their uniqueness. 7 characters is also just a clusterfuck, 3 worked fine in the previous games. You are punished for being overleveled by limiting class exp. Personally, I also just hate it for robbing me of Nopon coins since I didn't do that quest until near the end of the game.

3 is a fine, fine game. But it insist upon itself. It insists upon itself, /v/.

It really is themes first, story second, characters last. In exchange for beating the player over the head with it's message, the story gets filled with contrivances and plotholes, and characters are all very bland. Noah and Mio have to be the most boring protagnists of anything I've played in a while.

Xenoblade 1 is the one that Takahashi purposefully dumbed down because he was hurt by the failure of Xenosaga. It's the only one that doesn't feel like a Xeno game. 2 is basically just Xenosaga with new characters, some of the scenes are straight ripped from Saga I.

I played XC2 after the Smash DLC gave me a boner and it's the worst JRPG I've ever played. I've not played the others, but Xenofags that prefer the other games also dislike XC2, so the other games might be good. 2 soured me on the franchise though, so I'm not willing to try them.

Pyra is hot though, god damn.

Because it deserves it. Monolith spent all of 3 trying to shove a faux philosophical coming-of-age soap opera down our throats with characters so milquetoast they make Tora look like a Shakespearean villain. You go from the wild energy and raw charm of 2 to "what if everyone wore grey and whispered philosophical musings every five minutes?" Peaks in Future Redeemed, sure, but that's not saying much when the main game felt like diet XC1 with zero flavor.

I agree with a lot, although I like Zed and his boss fight. The one point that is most important to me is wishing you could turn off the music override. At least make it so it can't override Moebius Interlink and N since those are the Major boss tracks. At least they gave it to Zed's theme, but that honestly annoys me even more because it means they were cognizant that the music override shouldn't work in the decisive battle and just chose to leave it in for the other decisive battles.

I literally was going to download the emulator for these games recently until I found out combat is automatic and you only need to care about positioning and so on. I wish they made it regular real time one hit = one swing instead

I still want to play it because I heard Mitsudas soundtrack is good but not in a hurry atm

>>732207881
Auto attacks are legitimately like 1% of your damage in fights. Everything else are arts which are triggered manually by the player.

Have you never played Xenosaga 2? Even the OG Final Fantasy XIII is better than that shit!

I only played 2, Torna, and a bit of 3
I'd say the music and environments are stellar. 2's intro is a slog. The story does corny things. I'd have honestly preferred most of the characters except Malos get replaced with Gundam SD looking mechs. Malos reminds me of my late gay uncle's gay buddy if he was more chiseled.
