XB2S2E in 10 days. Who is the new Blade? And who is going to be the new hero in XB3S2E
>>743692124
>>743692520>unfunny 3D faggot spam
>>743692124The new blade will be a brand new OC designed by one of the Xenoblade Genesis character designer (so either Ino's or Masha's designer).
Been replaying 2 and trying to max out the Idea Cloud for the extra 50% damage and holy fuck, it's boring. I still need to S+ Blades too...
Started Xde. My first hour was playing for 20 minutes, and then getting talked to for 40. Not the greatest first impressions. What cutscenes can I skip before actually getting to the meat of the story?>>743692124The hero will be designed by Choco. The Genesis artists already did the DLC heroes, so I figured out the last one would be made by Choco.
>>743693973Seems plausible. Not gonna look great in that iteration of the engine though.
>>743694703Wait that shit increased your damage? I thought it was just for pulling blades.
>>743695189X is like watching Star Trek, the story episodes are there as a framing the device, you play for the episodic side quests about NLA and Alien culture shock.
>>743695796Masha looks great though.
>>743695189The first hour is pretty slow since the game's introducing everything to you.Once you reach chapter 3 the game opens up immensely, with the entire world being available to you then.
pyrazuri
>>743695189Keep playing. X opens up pretty quickly and then bombards you with kino all the way till the end when it hits you with not one but two shitty endings
>>743696437Because Xenoblade 3 character rendering is a massive improvement on 2.
>>743696589Oh shoot, I speedread.
Did you finish your XB1 playthrough in time?
>>743692124>Who is the new Blade?Probably a brand new character. They migh finally add a rare ring blade.
>>743697357That would have to be a beast type, right?
>>743692124>New BladeEither going to be one of the cut beta blades, or will be someone from Genesis using a portal from the Nopon Arch Sage.
>>743698041Nah, Fiora is technically a Twin Ring Blade, same with Obrona. They have the same arts and animation set. They could make a twin Blade rare blade that doesn't use the Beast body type. I kind of want them to do it though.
Since the next "Ouroboros" in Genesis seems to be animal themed according to the leak, I wonder if they can transform.
>>743695873Yeah? 5% per level. Maxes out at 50% at 10.Why do you think they gave Tora his own Idea boosters?
>>743698041>>743698730>Beast TypeMaybe a Dromarch that lets everyone except Tora ride on him for faster travelling speed. They did gave XC1 those bikes.
>>743699420I find it funny that in the base game, Tora still deals more then enough damage to be competitive against everyone else with 50% increased, but as soon as the DLC hit and they put in bigger challenges, the devs decided that he needed to have the boost or he would have a much tougher time. Poppiswap just that powerful.
which game has the best post game ccontent?
>>743699602Eh, QTpi is still busted because she has 6 Skill slots and a 3-hit break in a game where everyone only has a 2~3 skill slot and a 1-hit break.You're also guaranteed some Idea levels from Shulk, Fiora, Poppi Buster and Elma.
>>7436997982>3>1.
>>743692124If the new blade is Malos I’ll straight-up go and buy a Switch 2.
>>743699798Probably X even though I haven't really played it. 3's the only other game that has explicit post-game content before DLCs.
>>743699894Honestly, same. Maybe. I don't have enough funds for 1 at the moment but Malos would be fucking kino.
>>743699991X only adds a few new quests in the postgame, there isn't much you couldn't already do before the final boss
>open XC2 after 6 years>T-Elos still Rank A trust >4600/6000 jumps requiredMan...
>>743700643I don't think any of the games have had much more substantial than that. We haven't had like postgame dungeons or anything.
>>743699420Aw fuck. I had no idea. Apparently I've got Nia maxed out but Rex has crap stats, probably because I moved all the blades off him before grinding out affinities because of the Master Driver thing.
>>743700643The main trilogy is even worse then for "postgame" stuff.>1: everything is unlocked when you get to prison island 2>2: iirc only the t-elos quest needs you to clear the game. you also have the torna blades but those are NG+ rather than postgame>3: the melia and nia quests are postgameX meanwhile has a lot of quests, affinity missions and other stuff that can only be done after chapter 12 is finished.
>>743692124BEHOLD YOUR NEW BLADE.
>>743693078I like it, it's a good joke. Maybe you are too autistic.
>>743696520*homurazuri
>>743701324>maxed on the worst driverMy condolences.I'm trying to max Morag for Fiora/Corvin and she's 9/8/8/9 now.Zeke is gonna be painful.
>>743692124Homura Hikari
>Get told that NS2E will have the missing languages, just look at the website broYEA->It doesn't specify whether this is another Torna situation where only the physical release has the missing languages while the update matches the base gameDon't do this to me AGAIN
>>743692124>Who is the new Blade? Mythra's kid!
>>7436998682 didn't exactly have post-game, at least not initially. All the superbosses become accessible upon reaching the First Low Orbit Center in chapter 10, you don't need to actually beat the game, and doing so only changed the title screen.NG+ was added in an update (it and most of its content existed already in the base game, but it wasn't finalized so it wasn't accessible day one), and the stuff it adds (Torna Blades, Nopon traders) is pretty neat, at least compared to every other Xenoblade's NG+T-elos is technically a post-game Blade added in an update because you need to have the medal next to your play time to get herAnd the Land of Challenge's later missions that give you the items to unlock Shulk, Fiora, and Elma are also technically only available upon beating the game, but that was also an update. Technically you do need to do NG+ if you want to complete Poppibuster's Affinity Chart, because you can only get 65/70 Heart-to-Hearts otherwise, and you need the Torna Blades.
>>743707448Kys.
>>743694703>>743695873>>743701324The most optimal way to do this is to grind Common Blades through Ursula's Mercenary Missions. You'll be constantly cycling in and out of them, grinding them up (unfortunately you need to do certain nodes manually, and you do need to spam Trust via Veg & Oyster Aspic to get them to A rank first). This is actually really beneficial, because as your Idea levels rise through their nodes being filled in, so do the quality of the commons you roll. You'll be getting 4 crown commons that you'll be releasing at S Trust to get Overdrive Protocols. Just roll commons on everyone and you'll hit level 10 in everything without too much trouble.
I don't think people realize how big of a deal this is. Xenoblade 2 has been shit on PC emulators consistently and no reasonable fix has ever been made. Being able to play this absolute banger of a modern classic in 4K 60fps is going to blow people away.
I WANT SHANIA!!!!
>>743707935cringe
>>743707935t. not Shania's mom
>>743708150kek
>>743707590Xenoblade 2's NG+ is kind of amazing. Blades, quests, carry-over bonuses, an entire second skill tree for every character, and it also came with the difficulty options.
>>743701452Somehow I only just now realized that they changed this guy's name in the English version. He was always Vandham to me.
>>743707448You know, this actually would be kind of funny to do. Since we could have a "Mythra-lite" on other people and see exactly what is up with them. We also know that the portals that the Nopon Arch Sages summon through are not "Concurrent" with the timeline. So imagine him summoning Mythra's daughter from the future and she's a complete chuuni that tries to dance around why she looks so much like Mythra and has the same core.
>>743702378>>743703707>>743710806
>>743692537I wish we had more non-humanoid blades
>>743711025All of the work they did with animations and attacks and there's only one rare beast type.
If its not Malos they are fucking retarded. Like actually stupid unless he is going to be the protag of Genesis
>>743712429But then it'd have to be a NG+ blade and that might be weird for people that are playing it for the first time.
>>743712335That's probably exactly why, a lot of the animation looks like mocap so a non-humanoid blade would have to be done by hand
>>743713694I'm pretty sure it's just that they told the guest artists they could do whatever they wanted, and very few people actually enjoy drawing animals because it's incredibly difficult.
>>743714382Shoulda gotten Eiichiro Oda as a guest artist, since he really likes drawing animals despite not particularly liking IRL ones.
>>743715396I feel like they would never be able to pay for him.
>>743715396Probably a bit out of their budget.
>>743707813>Common BladesIt's still 10 minutes for 3 half nodes. My Morag is now 10/9/9/10.It pains me to waste those Bravery/Justice nodes trying to get the other 2 to 10.
>>743696894I'm in the process of paying for my insulin, I'll be done within the week.
>>743715859>>743715935Yeah that's fair. Guest artists also being able to draw whatever also notably resulted in a very skewed female:male Rare Blade ratio.
>barely any 3D animations anymore.Give me more Fiora, Fiona and Masha lewds dammit.
>>743692124Generals belong on /vg/
>>743719919>revives a thread about to fall to page 10 to complainwhat did she mean by this
damn /v/ is really dead today
>>743692124Xenoblade is shit.
>>743700643i won't say its substantial content but there is a lot of new dialogue that acknowledges ch12 being cleareda lot of it stuck with me from the wii u release, like the prone worried that the samaar are still out there
>>743720068>>743720068Ignore the thing. Hall monitor kun is butt blasted they didn’t get approved to be a janny, but still thinks it can decide what is allowed on the board.
Should I do NG+ or start a whole new game?NG+ has lots of features but I feel like playing it with everything unlocked won't be as fun. I HATE it when games but all there shit in NG+ because of this exact problem. Would NG+ with everything unlocked but on Bringer of Chaos be fun at least?
>>743722997We have no idea how the S2 content will be integrated into the game, so I wouldn't recommend starting anything until we have more info.
>>743692124>Who is the new BladeOur beloved Xenoblade 3 character - Melia.
The file sizes for these Switch 2 editions makes me not want to download them.
>>743722482If the Fire Emblem threads are generals, then so is this one
I doubt they'll do it but I would love if they add multiple save slots to the Switch 2. I don't want to get rid of my old save file or NG+ it and making a new profile is annoying.
>Monolith posted Pyra and Mythra plushies like 4 times alreadyNow all other characters feel like unloved children.
You guys do realize the new blade is just gonna be Noah right?
>>743726987Mio*
>>743692124>And who is going to be the new hero in XB3S2EIf it's not Mythra's daughter they wasted everybody's time
>>743701405Don't forget the superbosses.
>>743716162Finally 10/10/10/10.Now onto Zeke. I need to do Nia too but I'm lazy.
>>743731157Same...
