>>740759818
Hopefully they don't fuck it up like X. I'll get all three physical if it's all good. I've had 1 and 2 on the backlog anyway.

Why is this held hostage behind a 450 dollar console though

>3 new things
not worth $700

>>740759818
This is tipping me over the edge towards finally getting a Switch 2. Problem is...I don't want to spent 500 buckaroos...

>Hey you totally need to replay 200+ hours of rpg
Fucking hell Monolith Soft, my list was already loaded as it is. Why are you doing this to me?

So its official XB2 is not getting a definitive edition or like a cheap combo of the base game and expansion dlc? I just bought the expansion pass for $10 and will pay the upgrade for another 10 and I figure that's as good as im gonna get it. But I hope they don't plan to do more with it later...

Did they fix the gameplay and writing? Then I don't care.

>>740761504
It is worded in a way that says "new equipment" and we have seen Pyra's original design. So they aren't changing the initial design. Just watch it be their Beta design, which is even more risque.

>>740761632
No jobs. No jobs no money. That's the current state of the economy over here.

>>740761872
what do you mean by that?

>>740761831
This is probably it for XB2...

>>740761831
While I would have loved for us to get another bit of story for 2, they DID say that there would be more and this was just a small overview. Considering that we know that Kos-Mos has more dialog recorded, it is either going to be that the new Blade requires her for the quest or a H2H. OR we are indeed getting completely new stuff and they just didn't want to make it seem like 1 was getting shafted.

Can someone help me out here.

I'd like to eventually go full digital for the Switch 2 at some point. I have the physical version of XBCDE. If I buy the Switch 2 upgrade, but later want to buy the digital version of XBCDE, will I be forced to buy the Switch 2 version on the eshop, or can I get the presumably cheaper Switch 1 version and have it auto upgrade to the switch 2 version since I already previously purchased the Switch 2 upgrade?

>>740759818
>new equipment designs for Mythra and Pyra

Let me translate that
>we are offering their censored Smash Bros appearances, wether it is mandatory or an option is yet to be decided.

We got Monado Kart before mario kart world DLC, that's some crazy shit, either Nintendo scrapped MKWorld support or whatever DLC's they're doing for that game is big.

>>740762231
Smash bros design is already in the game you dumbass

>>740762189
Nah, you can buy the upgrade pack for the cart and/or the digital game that's installed

There's no dedicated Switch 2 version, the bundle is just the Switch 1 game + upgrade pack

>>740762152
I was shocked that 1DE didn't have voiced h2h, considering it was THE ask after 2 had it. How do you drop the ball that badly and have to wait almost ten years later, when the voice actors are now too old and sound strange compared to the regular game dialog.
>>740762231
Let me actually translate from the Japanese. It says
>Homura and Hikari will have new equipment that changes their designs
So we are just getting some new AUX cores which change it in some way. I doubt they would mention Mythra's again if it was just her Massive Melee Mythra thing. They would just mention Pyra getting something to be on par. No, I would bet that we get something else for their designs. Either their Beta designs, or their dresses from 3.

The bike stuff is actually pretty fun in 1. The racers in VS. Mode are braindead and the score targets are very low for score attack but it’s just neat and comes alongside voiced Heart to Hearts and 60FPS+Higher res. I feel like they were urged to do something for their $10 switch 2 upgrades so they said fuck it Reyn can ride a motorcycle now.

>>740762413
I think the Dunban actor forgot how to do his voice.

>>740759818
The stupid thing though is none of this content needs to be Switch 2 exclusive.
Nintendo only makes this to justify charging the $5-10 for the performance boost.

Well, in X's case they actually skipped that part and just charged you anyway lol

>>740762809
The reason these are a charge is because they are ports, rather than performance patches. Same applies to the zelda botw/totk switch 2 editions. I don't agree with how much they are charging for these, and would prefer they were free upgrade migrations, but I'm just reiterating that these games' improvements required new builds targeting the switch 2, making them actual ports with different build versions.

Something like Pyra and Mythra's beta designs is enough to get a game blocked from a Switch release now for "damaging the Nintendo brand".

>>740762639
>>740762413
Listening to the Heart-to-Hearts right now.

I'm guessing the director, if they had one, didn't have them re-listen to their original recordings, which would explain why Dunban felt off even if some of the inflection is still there.
Melia really found her original voice after Future Connect
You can hear Reyn's voice is a little older
Sharla's voice a was a bit more high pitched
Riki's delivery is slightly slower than the original
Shulk and Fiora didn't miss a beat

Regardless, I'm still happy they took the time to record audio for it.

Bandai Namco would never greenlight anything above the level of a mere cameo/guest character, and Shittendo is back in their 90s mindset where they are ultra squeamish about anything religious, they probably won't even let Xenosaga on their platform.

>>740764320
Considering how much data she had of the world pre experiment, it makes sense that it would be this. Though I hope you realize that as she is still a Blade, this would only further the idea of this game being a simulation designed to create the Core Crystals.

>>740763612
No I am saying its silly to lock the extra content like the voiced heart to hearts and stuff to Switch 2 just for the sake of bundling it with the port

>>740765198
keep coping tendie

>>740765201
No, they already confirmed Torna is getting updated for free so Future Redeemed will most likely be free too.

>>740760345
How was X fucked up

>>740765556
Instead of an actual resolution increase they used a poor upscaler that left a lot of things very blurry. It's somewhat ok in docked but very noticeable in handheld.

>>740760345
They did it.

>>740759818
God X2 was such ass. I couldn’t even bring myself to attempt the final boss even though I saved right before it.

>>740759818
If 2 didn't also get all the improvements to map and field skills from Torna then what's the point

>>740765760
Damn, does it actuaĺly look worse than not buying the patch then? What the fuck

>>740765957
NTA, but to add insult to injury, Nintendo shadow dropped boost mode, where Switch games play like they're docked even in handheld, and that looked better than the upgrade. The only reason to get the expansion pass is if you cannot live without 60fps, otherwise just hold.

>>740765957
In handheld it definitely looks worse than using boost mode but again docked looks ok most of time and it runs at 60 fps. There's plenty of footage out there so you can check it out yourself to see if it seems worth it.

This thread doesn't seem sincere, but I'm legit hyped.

I've been wanting to do a replay of 2 for a while and I've always put it off because I was waiting for a Switch 2 version. And now it's coming. That's exactly what I want, I don't care about the other details.

>>740762413
>their dresses from 3.
That would be neato.

>>740764970
Yeah, nobody buys a console for just one game, good work retard you're almost there. I've got almost 30 games on my Switch, if I get even half of that on my Switch 2 it'll be well worth the investment.

>If you have the physical version of Torna, the update is free
kek, I didn't expect that

>Origin
>Genesis
You won't fool me, Takahashi.

As someone who never played them before I would rather just have the resolution and framerate update without the extra shit added by a different team years after. Also, it's obvious they just add these so that they can charge you for the upgrade. "But there's extra content too, so it should cost money!" They should have free resolution/FPS updates like Xbox does.

>>740759818

Is this on main game?

Pretty sure it is just a side thing. Playable merc missions.

>Shulk and Fiora didn't miss a beat

>>740759818
Do they have that same shitty upscaling that X did? Kinda want to grab XC1 but I play mostly in handheld.

How will it get released? As a trilogy, 3 separate games or just paid patches? I planned to get into Xenoblade for a long time now and I have a switch 2

I like Xenoblade but honestly I would pay for a version that REMOVED content instead of adding new shit to do. Shit's too long.

can I turn off the XCX S2 patch if I already bought it

>>740769090
Paid patches (switch 2 upgrade), it was decently clear from the presentation, they are not even releasing on the same dates.

[Buy a fucking ad Nintendo]

>>740768917
I wonder if that means you can instantly complete the merc missions if you play them.
Might help make Ursula not so bad, but then again she's not actually supposed to be fighting enemies on her missions, she's just taking classes

Wait was the deal with Ouroboros anyway? I mean, the monstrous form. Never made any fucking sense. It just feels so disconnected.

>>740771861
The monstrous form, Moebius, was an imperfect interlink that was built on the corruption of the self through Z. Interlinking is synchronizing two wills to call forth immense power from "somewhere" and store it in an intermediary form. It's literally the same as pulling an ES from the UMN.
