WTF was that story? I can't stop lmaoing at how retarded this is. How do you go from the first Xenoblade to this? Are 2 and 3 just as bad?
>>745693816People joke that Xenoblade is an offline MMO but X really was designed that way, the story was kind of an afterthought
>>745693816I thought Xenoblade Chronicles was a standard jarpig with fancy jarpig sword guy, was it a mecha series all along?
>>745693816It's kino and you're gay
>>745695245>It's kino
>>745695116first one takes place partially on a giant mecha and you're fighting them too, I don't know shit about 2 & 3 though. I tried playing 1 and I got to the Nopon village and just stopped because I couldn't stand those assholes and the story wasn't grabbing me at all. The final straw was "just play it to the end and you'll totally get it bro" made me just drop it completely.
>>745695437Funniest shit ive ever seen.
>>745695437He's great. You got filtered
>>745693816Sequel when?
>>7456938162 is worse, 3 is better.But none of the games come remotely close to the writing of the first game. Apparently because it was mostly written by a different person, and after its success the director got more hands-on and added a lot of anime cringe.X at least doesn't make much of its story, it doesn't get in the way of the great world exploration. And the side stories are generally much better than the main story.In Xenoblade 2 you'll have constant anime cringe pushed into your face. Skip it and play 3 instead.
>>745695116I think Nintendo wanted to make its own rival to Final Fantasy in making this a thematic series with no connections at all between games, but abandoned that idea.
>>745693816Where's my sequel?>ElvesWHERE MY FUCKING ROBOTS
>>745695116Xenoblade has some of the best mecha stuff in video games my dude. It's like one of the biggest appeals. Xenoblade X is the only one that lets you build and ride your own though, with deep customization. Oh and they transform into vehicles too.
>>745693816Anon /v/ love Xenoblade X.
>>7456938162 and 3 both have a much better story.It just wasn't the focus of X.1's story is still the best, though.
>>745693816It's funny how with the remaster's extra chapters they were like "ignore the original story, it's dogshit, have something entirely different" to be able to make it part of the main narrative.All I hope is that it means we can get a Wrothian GF in one of those games down the line pls.
>>745695116>>745696346From its inception with Xenogears it’s been a mecha, Gears has a much bigger focus on them than Blade Chronicles though
>>745693816>oh yeah we uhhh kinda forgot to tell you that we're all robots lol>you just never got as much as a single scratch lol what a coincidence >which means we also all actually canonically never ever ever got hurt in front of you since the beginning of the gameGenuinely one of the stupidest plot twists I've ever seen.
>>745696824Getting hurt is one thing, taking enough damage to maim your mim is another.
>>745694890Iirc the multiplayer component was the afterthought. Elma was meant to be the protagonist and the game was supposed to be much more story focused
>>745696976You don't have to get maimed to see you blue blood and wires. Any cut will do. Even bruising would look weird.Add to that that we've seen multiple chumps die, saved multiple people from near death situations, constantly fight giant megafauna, and literally no one brought the mc up to speed? There is no defending this shit. It's a plot twist for the sake of it, like most of xenoblade's twists, but this one is egregious.
>>745696824The other characters assumed the MC knew it already, and it's only a pretty short time until the twist is revealed early on in the game. Characters also openly use words like "repairing damage" instead of "healing wounds" the entire time before the twist is revealed, so it's not nearly as forced as you make it sound like. Maybe you were just stupid and didn't pick up on all the obvious clues? Even in the first 5 minutes of the game you are told that you can jump down a 200 meter drop because your body can take it just fine, which already strongly implies something is weird.
>>745697816It's so funny that you call me stupid when it's the mc himself who never realized despite all your "clues". They made the mc stupid on purpose to make the twist "work", making it bad storytelling? So which is it, I'm right and it's a terrible plot twist, or you're right and it's terrible storytelling? Read better stories lol.
>>745695437i am dying
>>745693816X's story is renowned for ranging from non-existent to boring, the world & mechs are the real highlights. Pretty sure it was all rewritten last minute because if you listen to black tar's lyrics they don't make any sense for the game as-is, though idk if they added any of that back with the new chapters in DE, haven't played since WiiU.>>745695437When tatsu speaks I sit my hom ass down and listen
>>745693816X is better than 2 and 3. You've already seen the best the franchise has to offer(1 and X).
>>7456959842 has mechs as bosses and in cutscenes3 your party can turn into Ultraman and some NPCs have mechs
>>745696665> From its inception with Xenogears it’s been a mechaFalse.Xenogears only eventually got mechas because Evangelion was popular at the time. From its inception, initially xenogears had nothing to do with gears. Takahashi has a thing for ripping off popular anime. Notice how the new Xenoblade Genesis has fucking elves.Xenogears originally started as a Chrono Trigger sequel, later upgraded to a Fina Fantasy entry and then downgraded into its own thing. The main plot regarding Fei/Elly was mostly written by Takahashi’s wife but as development went on Takahashi started adding irrelevant bullshit to the project, making the game suffer not just on the story/plot aspect but also and more importantly gameplay.

>>745693816secondaries like you should die>muh story
>>745699727>t. carefully crafted headcanon exclusively gleaned from prior xenothreads
>>745698237I don’t get what part is storytelling. How you learn about the robotic stuff, or the concept of you being a robot? I liked the surprise
>>745700051I don't like this gif
>>745700075bad storytelling*
>>745695116Monolithsoft is THE mecha dev. The one exception is that the final ultimate twist in baten kaitos is that you are not actually fighting an ancient AI from a lost evil empire, its actually just a dark god.
>>745695116You shouldn’t play it, stick to the red dead autos and baldur’s bitcher games. Those characters and stories are about your speed
>>745698237The MC being a bit daft isn't bad storytelling, idiot. Characters being stupid =/= story being stupid.
>>745699727You managed to get a 0% accuracy rate on that one. Impressive.
>>745700136Too real
>>7456951161 takes place on two giant (continent size) mechas where one is inhabited by smaller (building size) large mechasin 2 the mechas are story devices that show up in like two cutscenes near the end. otherwise they hang out in space and shoot orbital lasers during special attack animations.3 is more like Ultraman or some shit. instead of piloting a mecha your party members fuse together to become a big guy together. also there's city sized mechas in cutscenes.
>>745696227>I think Nintendo wanted to make its own rival to Final Fantasyseems like that was the idea in a way because Xenoblade is probably made by just as many actual FF devs as current FF, a lot of the devs from the Squaresoft days either work at Monolithsoft or left with Sakaguchi making Fantasian.
>>745697816>The other characters assumed the MC knew it alreadyIt is still a little silly it takes until after the reveal for them to then go "oh yeah overdrive exists let's start using it now"
>>745700250>Monolithsoft is THE mechaeven BotW had mechs in it, its probably in their contract somewhere that they can add mechs to anything they help make for nintendo
>>745693816Filtered.
>hey btw you're all dead>me? no actually i got to keep my body :)>also i'm the only one who can turn on the backup power>yes my body was kept right here next to the backup power switch>why didn't i just turn it on? uhhhhh look i'm special okay i'm the most special and badass :)
>>745696824They lock most of the quests that talk about mims behind the point where its revealed in the story but one of them slipped through the cracks. I think it's Hope's quest or something that flat out tells you you're a robot
>>745693816The game is a scrapped MMO that reworked a bad story while focusing on gameplay first.It still shits on the average jrpg.Now chapter fucking sucks dicks and if that's what you mean then yeah, what happened here?And no XB2 destroys this in term of story.
>>745695437Tatsu is a paragon of the community and you will put some respect on his name.
sex with lin
IDK what you guys are talking about The Wonderful 101 had a great story.
Well /v/, you HAVE played the fixed localization mod where lin acts like a completely different person havent you?
>>745701434Way to kill the thread anon.
>>745702037its not my fault you dont have a modded switch anon
Sex with Elma
>>745701434>lin acts like a completely different personLol, a good half of the entire game is mistranslated, it's not just lin
>>745693816>/v/ says the story is bad>its actually goodEvery time.
>>745701434I haven't played XB2 yet, is it really SO bad that it deserves a total retranslation? the fuck?save for Xeno X which I had emulated on wiiU a long time ago I only got serious about playing the rest of the series because of this guy's patches. I'm almost done with XBDE.
>>745702489XB2's translation is so egregious that almost every named person or place has had their name changed, which should never ever be the case, since names are proper nouns.
>>745702489All the xenoblade games have retranslations and XB2 is even worst with the translation. Every single name and location was changed. They went back to using britbong english for 2 and 3 and because of this, Japanese terms were removed solely because britbongs can't say Japanese terms. The story is pretty much your generic 2010's shounen anime game filled to the brim with generic anime troupes. The dub and translation tried to turn this into some super series business translation like they're trying to hide the Japanese aspect. Its pretty much the 4kids of this generation when it comes to translations and censorship. XBC2 needs both a retranslation patch and a decensorship patch.
>>745693816Dogshit fucking game but the mech shit was cool but it's too far into the game to make it worth it. All the stories are bad. Except xenogears. That one is good.
>>745693816After replaying X it's my least favorite of the series.>Good world and side quests>Dogshit main story and most of the cast too>Worst battle system in the series
I think I'd like Xenoblade 2 way more if Zeke and Pandoria replaced Rex and Pyra as the main characters.
Xenoblade games despite having plenty of story and cutscenes are more about the gameplay. You can honestly just skip the cutscenes and story. I know a lot of faggots don't like that but it's true.
>>7457024892's translation itself is ok but the voice acting and directing is atrocious.X also had some things changed and censored sadly. Even the B.L.A.D.E acronym is entirely different in japanese.
>>7456938162 is better, 3 is worse.
>>745702957>>745703101>xenoblade 2>censorship Retarded schizo, ignore.
>>745693816Easily. Xenoblade 1 was shit and X was equally so. Monolith Soft hasn't made a good game since 2006.
>>745705958Postanhttps://localizers.ch/column/critique-of-xenoblade-chronicles-2s-western-localization-vs-original-japanese/
>>745705390Anytime you hear someone say the voices in a jrpg are bad just means they played with the inferior English dub. And not the canon official CVs
>>745707298no there are some pretty fucking bad jap va's too you just give them the benefit of the doubt because of brain damage.
>>745707413The worst JP seiyuu is leagues ahead of the lesser British theater actors.
>>745708265I'm not really interested in your opinion I just wanna call you a faggot one more time and be on with my day.Continue trying to seek validation though.
>>745708382>ablooobloo bloo bloo>seeking validation over the common consensus lol lmao and www. Bye bye friend
>>745707413nah japs will even make one off side voices sound professional. thats where even the best dubs completely shit the bed
You can put the robot that looks like a preteen in a bikini.
>>745708995it's not a bikini you piece of shit don't you EVER get my hopes up again.
>>745709287Maybe it’s only on the Wii U version.
>>745709354oh you mean Lin? That's censored, you can't put a bikini on her, it adds black underwear stuff beneath it.
>>745695116Xenoblade 1 is largely fantasy, the games get more sci fi as they go along. XC3 is about as sci fi as xenogears. Saga is entirely sci fi minus some weird religious stuff
>>745700689Some of them worked on Secret of Mana, yet one major subplot from Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is essentially the same exact storyline as a major subplot as Secret of Mana.
is xenoblade 2's final dungeon seriously just 3 solid hours of cutscenes and repeating flashbacks? This is unforgivably shit.
>>745710712Not entirely, and no other developer does it like Monolithsoft.
>>745699727Xenogears a shit.
The story of X was fine. It had all the cool build ups to a lot of very interesting things.DE sucked though as they threw it all away and left the planet. Such a waste.
>>745710712kek so thats why I dropped the game there
Every Xenothread eventually becomes about 2.
>>745702489The premise of the story of XB2 was a boy finds the Holy Grail and has to bring it to Eden and meet God. Nothing about this was preserved for the localization. Anything even remotely religious was wiped clean, despite this being a fucking Xeno game.
>>745695116Only Xenogears and Xenoblade Chronicles X. As it happens, they are also the only two Xeno games worth a damn.
>>745695116>the replies saying "Yes but actually no"whats the fucking point of a "mecha series" where you don't pilot a mecha
>>745714189>shit gameplay but good story or good gameplay but shit storyLooks Xeno just can't get an actual fully good game out huh?
>>745695116The Xeno series has always had a large mecha/sci-fi focus. X is the only Xenoblade game with playable mechs but Xenogears and Xenosaga have them too.
>>745712325No one would miss you if you killed yourself
>>745714189Xenosaga has them too retard. In fact, Xenosaga is the most sci-fi out of all the games, it's what Star Ocean should have been.
>>745713639As much as i hate the shitty localization for XB2 and have already shilled the retranslation , its not fair to say that its not extremely clear that the Architect is literally the god of their world, that Elysium is the garden of eden, and that the Aigis' are basically holy weapons bestowed by him. The japanese language basically hamfists this with very direct terminology, where as the localization changes it to be less overt. Its still VERY obvious unless you are retarded tho.
>>745714693>, its not fair to say that its not extremely clear that the Architect is literally the god of their world,uhh yeah no shit especially if you've played 1 (you should have)it's still bad translation.
>>745714607Shit
>>745693816I wanted to like this game so bad but it just turned me off how the protagonists spout all this bullshit about living in harmony with the planet and giving respect to the land and then when they meet an actual native alien they're like "Wow you look retarded! Wouldn't it be funny if we killed and ate you?" to him constantly
>>745696192StoryXB1 >>>>>>> the restGameplayXB2 >>>>>>>> the rest
OVER THE RAINBOW GLORIOUS SIGHTIT'S LIGHTING OUR DREAMS AND I HOPE WE'RE ALRIGHTWE'RE ALL THE SAME EVEN IF FROM ANOTHER WORLDWE DON'T BELONG HERE ANYMORE
>>745719828What about 2's gameplay makes it so good in your opinion? I'm only 10 hours in and it seems kinda dull in comparison to 1/X so far just because you have so few abilities at your disposal. I know there's blade switching but I haven't found much reason to use it so far.
>>745720308>I know there's blade switching but I haven't found much reason to use it so far.you're playing the game wrong but that's OK, the game doesn't demand you use its systems until the last boss encounter of chapter 3
>>7457203082 is the slowest start of all the games. It takes ages to unlock your full potential and even longer to scale it up to be better with good gear and blades.
>>745720308It's not my favorite RPG ever but the battle system is deeper than the other games. You have both physical and elemental combo systems and you get additional boosts for coordinating both types of combo at the same time. Achieving certain combos locks the enemy out of certain skills, so you need to prioritize different combos depending on what you're fighting. And then you can do a burst attack (forget what it's called in-game) that does extra damage depending on how many locks you've put on the enemy but also removes all those locks in the process, so you need to make sure you can kill the enemy with it or survive afterwards. There's also your special attacks where the max level version makes you invincible during the animation, so you need to choose when to consistently use specials for their combo properties and when to hold on to them to block an enemy's biggest attack. The party building and customization options are just a lot deeper than the other games.One of my problems with combat in every Xenoblade game is that you don't really vary tactics depending on what you're fighting, you just have a combo in mind from the start and every battle against every enemy is just trying to execute that combo. 2 isn't super great at this either but it's less bad than the others
>>745693816xenoblade chronicles 2 and xenosaga 1-2 is good the rest are trash
I played Xenoblade Chronicle 2 by watching the Joseph Anderson streams (at least 20+ of them, 5 hours each) back in 2018-2019, and they were incredibly entertaining and spawned tons of Joseph Anderson-memes that exist today. Anyone else watch it?>Ya dun!>You can't forget me!
>>745693816I cant believe there's peopel that think this is a better open world than BotW. Its not even a better open world than Scarlet and Violet lmao.Shit traversalNothing to do but killing enemies and some sidequestsTons of places are locked behind high level enemies you can't get past with pure skill like in an action game since they one shot you if you are low level despite being "open"The caves are cool and it has awesome vistas I'll give it that, but it's just not a fun game
>>745720967Ok nevermind, I was too harshIt is fun, it can be fun, I just wouldnt play it again
>>745720967Anon, BOTW literally is for children, whilst Xenoblade Chronicles X is an adult game.
>>745720967I think the open world is nice but the actual quest system killed it for me. BotW was cool because it was entirely up to you where to go and when. XBX you are always running back to town to flag the next "bring back 10 bear hides" objective. And if you explore without flagging quests you are pretty much just wasting you're time because you'll have to come back and do the quest later for EXP
>>745721018Ok>>745721036Yeah pretty much, and even when doing side quests the game is very stingy with EXPI liked the Nopon sidequests a lot though, you got to watch how primitive Nopon society is and it was a similar feel to watching those Discovery H&H shows on gypsies
>>745696227>>745700689Close. Iwata specifically told them to do it. The Manado blade story was originally going to be an entirely new franchise, but Iwata gave them sad puppy dog eyes when he realized that meant he wouldn't get a Xenosaga 4
>>745721794Based Iwata saved Xeno as a franchise, if only he were alive to see it prospering (in spite of NOA trying to kill it) now
>>745721036>>745720967>The high level enemies are are experience grinding checks and not skill based.Guess what the level cap is
>>745722413Cockpit time, the most important mechanic in the game's combat, is literally just RNG>endgame superbossWho gives a fuck, I stopped playing a little bit after hitting the credits
>>745722794I thought overdrive was strongest
>>745722881It is outside the mech but there's stuff you can't touch without the mech
>>745702489Nah, Xenoblade Andromeda's translation is far far worse than 2. At least 2's translation didn't make characters into completely different characters altogether. I don't think you realize the level of rewrite that is needed to achieve this. Xenoblade Andromeda's translation is the equivalent of a sadpanda doujin with the tag ''rewrite'' and comic sans MS font. Now doubled with AI shit and AI colorization. It's abysmal.
>>745693816They're worse
>>745695437Those ja ja binks characters make me want to hurt anyone that likes those awful fucking games.I hope you all get killed in a fire.
>>745695116All Xenoblades are standard fantasy until a SF twist (except X, who is kind of an outlier). Btw, in 1, 2 and 3, you actually gets to fights mechas, but you only pilot them in X.
>>745720543I don't have any worth switching to yet, only Pyra and Momo (who is a healer, I don't need 2 of them at this point), but I'll keep it in mind. I assume it's main function is to make sure you can do different blade combos & avoid nerfing yourself after applying locks?>>745720605Yeah I figure good blades that aren't just common rarity slop are the main differentiator>>745720692I've only really just come across locks, but they definitely seem useful, a problem I can foresee is not knowing what the move is that I'm gonna seal, but I suppose that's just trial and error
Are wrothians sexy?
>>745720692>It's not my favorite RPG ever but the battle system is deeper than the other games.No?
>>745712325That's because 2 is the most successful title so far since it came out around switch launch year, has by far the most fanservice, and is by far the most controversial thus it spurs the most conversations
Elma mim or Elma blue?
>>745725937Is elma technically blackface?
>>745721018>whilst Xenoblade Chronicles X is an adult game.>The game with gigantic WoW swords and mecha is for adults.
Anyone replaying (or playing for the first time) the Switch 2 version of XC2?I'm at chapter 4 and it's very good so far. The fix to field skill alone makes this much more smooth to play than the original version. Merc Assault is also really fun so far. Not sure how long that will last though.
>>745726661You will never experience the insanity of XBC2 at release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS99h5pJY2E
>>745726975I did play it at release in 2017 so yes I did.
>>745727010But you didn't watch a stream of it back then and enjoy the memes with chat.
>>745727101No I didn't because I was playing the game.
>>745701434I played japanese versions of the games.
>>745727168>playing a 200 hour long game in a language you don't even understand
>>745696052>>745696053>>745698320>>745698701>>745701139Disgusting samenigger, I hope you fucking kill yourself violently.
>>7457146073 has playable mechs too, they're just the worst kind of mechs EVAs
This is what they took from you
>>745727947They are Ultramen.
>>745726661I find it hard to want to engage with merc assault as it forces me to stop what I'm doing and play that instead. Where as with the regular merc missions I can send a bunch of my blades off to do the missions while I do other things in game.
>>7457249952's combat isn't deep.
>>745728617Not that guy but maybe I've been doing it wrong but 2's combat feels sluggish and takes a bit to get going even when you do that cancellation exploit. I think maybe it's from me being more intimately familiar with how 1 plays then immediately going into 2 again after not have played it since 2019 it's taking me a bit to relearn everything.
>>745700415>a bit
>>745705958kys troonlator
>>745728930the combat you see at the start is nothing like the stuff you do at the end.the game keeps piling on systems on top of the core throughout the game all the way to the finish line.
>>745728617Neither is 3's
>>745729273>criticize 2>3 seethe out of nowhereKEK 2NIGS ARE SO GOTTEN TO
>>745695984Holy shit are you me.The game is just so fucking boring.
>>745728930Cancelling auto-attacks isn't an exploit. The game teaches you about it in the tutorial. Also if you missed it, the further you let the auto-attack combo go, the more special meter you get once you cancel it. Cancelling earlier in most situation recharges drivers specials.
>>745729591No I'm talking about slightly moving the left stick to move so you are just spamming the first swing over and over faster then just letting it do it regularly.
>>745695437SOUL
>>745705263This but 2. I'm replaying 2 for the Switch 2 upgrade and there's so much tedious bullshit that just get in the way of enjoying the game, it's crazy. At least when you get out of the tutorials in X, you get to actually play the game instead of having to pause it every few minutes to stare at affinity charts (otherwise they won't update) or manage merc missions.
>>745728617But the OG poster said that 2 was the deepest of the series?I think everything single one of them are straightforward. Besides, I feel the Blades in 2 are like the parasite things of SMT3, but chopped in three. And each of those three have their own gem like augmentations (forgot the name), on top the main chips thing that change the weapon's design. But honestly, its more complicated than deep imo. In practice, you have to setup a party of 3, which themselves have 3 characters attached to them, who can have 1 to 3 augments plus the main weapon. And the chips are consummables, so for each set up you have to commit to it.Its not a bad system, but I don't think its deep.
>>745729441>>745695984Just say you don't like video games lil bro
>>745710712Bro, it's blatantly clear that you are playing a by the books shonen with every Anime trope under the sun with a sprinkle of gameplay from the get go. How do you reach that point near the end if you don't like Anime bullshit in the first place.?
>>745694890its sorta the opposite of this, but due to bad numbers for the wiiU, nintendo and mono decided to pull back on a lot.X's story had been in the works since Nintendo acquired majority of monolithsoft and the idea was to centre around elma's story with the players perspective being distinctly human so that the weight of breaking the boundaries of humanity were impactful. But plot was scrapped for storage space, characters and factions were removed for time constraints, and narration was slightly rushed for lowered expectations of success. A lot of the concepts carried over to Xenoblade 3 but were written pretty badly.X definitive just adds an ending based on some of the art but fails to reframe the entire story.
>>745693816The Switch version made the story worse with the new chapter. The first game wasn't a master piece by any means and it was also very unfinished as it got cut short, but the new addition basically undoes 99% of the game that you were building up to, which was colonizing Mira. The writers for this game, and Xenoblade in general, are massive hacks who have no idea how to write a good story. But that's nothing new for Japan.
>>745714693Yeah but you also get shit like nuking every religious reference to the point of renaming the fucking titans and places that are named after the capital sinsRukusuria. LUXURY-A. VanityEnvidia. ENVYGura. Gula. GluttonyAvaritia. Avaricia. GreedSuperbia. Superb. PrideIra. Rage.Etc. It was a mess. And they nuked every ecchi reference also.
Never played any Xenoblade game, but I think mechs are cool.Wii U or Switch version?
>>745730791Tbh, they replaced those names with equivalents.Its still super funny that they basically gave up with Xde, with Elma quoting Revelation and Tora namedropping God.
>>745731181>TorahThere's so many references
>>745724225RICKY STICKY
>>745730835Wii U version I feel like used the dual screen well and always miss using that in the switch version.
>>7457297802s problem is it takes 15 fucking hours to get out of the tutorial. Once your out the story also starts getting much better around the same time too. The back half of 2 is the best in the series
>>745731272I meant Tatsu. Tora is his eternal rival.
>>745714693Changing the writing because you think it's "too obvious" is fucking retarded and spitting in the face of the author, even if the story they made is dogshit. Respect the original version or fuck off you fucking nigger.
>Sidequest say level ~20.>You have to rescue an alien in a camp full of level 40 aliens.Wtf
>>745732049Learn to stealthOr just abuse Shadowrunner outside of combat
>>745693816>Are 2 and 3 just as bad?No, they're worse.
>>745729653Yes that's what I'm talking about as well.The game tells you that by doing that, you get faster refills of driver specials, when if you let the auto-attack combos go further before cancelling, you get more blade special meter.
>>7456938162 and 3 are more similar to 1. 2 drags a little bit though.
>>745727503The funny part is that's my shitpost image from like a week ago, I can see how I cropped it. This retard didn't reply to it, took it and then samefagged themselves when they didn't get any replies. I'd say true nigger behaviour but its not like (you)s meant anything to begin with so it's more just sad. Can't we just admire the cum-soaked tatsu from afar?
Last for Melia a shit
>>745696323I legit don't understand the elves issue when they've always been in Xenoblade
>>745733605Obsessed.
Last for Fiora a shit
>>745733958High Entians were an original twist on the elf archetype. They weren't lame generic shit.
>>745733958Retard.
>>745734921Genesis is already setting up the knife ears as a higher class in society just like in Xenoblade 1, just this time without the segregation. They're also more compatible using anima like how High Entia were better at using ether than homs
>>745726221Yes. Glad you finally caught up
>>745730835Switch version added a lot of extra content and QoL fixes and trust me, that game needed it. Otherwise you'll have to use mods if you plan on emulating the WiiU version, which surprisingly has a lot of mods baked into the Cemu emulator. Sadly the Switch version did take a few steps back like scaling the difficulty down a bit, made factions useless, and the extra chapter sucked but honestly not that big of a deal breaker.
>>745693816trolling is against the rules, retard
>>745730835Always Wii U if given the option. Switch ports of Wii U games are the biggest middle finger Nintendo ever gave its fans.
>>745695437my hero
>>745735494I'm not planning on emulating. I have my Wii U set up pretty much full-time.
I 100% it on both Wii-U and Switch
>>745736168Ouch, modded at least? That game needs all the help it can get so even codes would be fine. Online has been shutdown and it was used to reduce the grind so a good chunk of the game is made unavailable. You're going to have to grind extra hard for basic shit especially if you want to use the robots.
>>745730835Wii U gamepad is nice but the epilogue is only on the switch version
>>745720692>deeper than the other games>positioning no longer matters worth shit.I think 1 and 3 were far deeper even without blade combos.
>>745737120I don't think that's especially true either. But I do prefer 1 and 3 over 2.
>>745727503>>745733109lmao the only one replying to themselves is you
>people unironically recommending the wii u version over switchWhat the fuck is wrong with you cretins?
>Xenoblade : Phil Collins
>>745696323>>745733958>>745734921The thing I've noticed is that people had more of an open mind about going from the more unique Wrothian race to the generic cat-people that were the Gormotti back then because X left such a bad taste in the core fanbase's mouth. The over-correction to "generic" anime was a welcomed change because it was so unlike X's hard sci-fi aesthetic
>>745736573I prefer not to mod, and I probabaly wouldn't have used online even if it was available.
>Futa elfvesI always knew that Takahashi is our guy.
So many people want a robowaifuNot many people want to be the robowaifu
>>745745098WE WANT FEATHER PUBES!
When does X get good
>>745742097
Luv' teenage girls in skimpy bikinisLuv' mechaLuv' alien planets'Ate roasties'Ate tradcucks'Ate normalfagsSimple as
I started playing it 2 days ago, I can't fucking finish low lvl quests because there are 30lvl monsters roaming in area, I think I'm getting filtered. shit design
>>745745438If you're playing the Japanese version, when you get Lin's bikini. If you're playing the American version, when you get a mech.
>>745746073It ain't xenoblade if you ain't getting randomly nuked by lvl 70 unique monster called something dumb like "Grumbly Greg" roaming the starting area. It's kinda retarded but you just gotta figure out where they go and try to avoid them. If the whole area is level 30s though maybe you're somewhere you shouldn't be yet and should come back later or find another route. X does let you just run to pretty much anywhere if you can survive the journey.
>>745745441Just hypothesizing why fucking anime cat-people were fine but regular knife-ears are a bridge too far.
>>745745438As soon as you see the title screen.
Mythra's kid doko?
>>745747425You've been given full control over the next Xenoblade game. What do you name the level 5000 monster that fucks up new players?
>>745749825Killjoy Keith
>>745749825Niggerator 5000
>>745745438When you're done with the initial tutorial and are free to explore.
>>745749825Angry Joe
>>745695116Well, X is the only good Xenoblade, unsurprising that you missed it as it was initially a Wii U exclusive released before the series got truly popular.
>>745749825Uncle Bob
>>745737120Positioning in Xenoblade is a joke, it's essentially a formality on par with the timed button presses to make you feel like battles are more active than they actually are.The biggest flaw in all Xenoblade combat systems is that only the character you are playing as can work to their full potential, all the AI party memebers act like blithering retards and try to mess you up
>>745742097I LOVE SHANOYA
>>745754223Shania simps are the worst part of the fanbase, holy shit these niggers are cancerous
>>745720917>I played Xenoblade Chronicle 2 by watching the Joseph Anderson streams (at least 20+ of them, 5 hours each) back in 2018-2019holy shit kill yourself
>>745747768>>745746658>>745751103So the game is always shit then. Fuck this
>>745749825Bambishart the Tarnivorous
>>745747578They're not. I don't care about the cats or elves.I just want my mecha anon.
>>745693816I thought it was at least manageable until around when Alma becomes an alien. It kinda jumps the shark around that point.
>>745696192Open worlds genuinely bore the shit out of me but I was super invested in exploring the XBX world. I loved every zone in that game other than I guess the lava world cause it was too filled with enemies.
>>745693816Is it still possible to ask for Ga Buidhe as a DLC playable character?
>>745760186If they were going to add anything else to the game, they'd have done it in the Switch 2 Edition patch, the game is over.I guess there's always the possibility of an X2/Y/XX sequel on the new planet.
>>745693816>it's this planet, there's something about this planet!>actually nevermind there's nothing about this planetbravo
>>745761748Yeah, that's probably the biggest reason I'm happy I did not play the "DE" port. The original XCX was very enjoyable.>>745761748
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t tried to make a Xenoblade MMO or gacha game at this point. The series is naturally suited to being adapted to an MMO and even if Nintendo wouldn’t allow it to be on PC it’s not like console MMOs have never been done. Dragon Quest X is an MMO and that released on the fucking Wii.As for a gacha game, that seems just as obvious considering Xenoblade 2 takes its core crystal mechanics directly from the genre. On top of that consider FE Heroes’ success and it seems like a no brainer for Nintendo to try it with their other big rpg series.I’m honestly glad they haven’t done the gacha game idea because I can imagine a Kingdom Hearts type of situation where they include crucial lore in it, but I do wonder what’s keeping them from trying these ideas.
>>745761748>DE version completely ruins the original retroactivelyThis has happened for LITERALLY every Xeno DE version btw, lol. Can we go 4/4 for Xeno 3? I hope so. This franchise is so fucking dogshit, Takahashi should have his hands broken so he can never write again.
>>745761748To be fair that was only Elma's words, she was just wrong
>>745728045I played the uncensored undub but never changed the party members' outfits from their defaults anyway because I wanted to keep them as they were originally designed. Well except Axena. Gave her a doll plugsuit IIRC.
>>745761748Takahashi wrote one good story in his career, and that was before Monolith Soft
>>745763497>>745761748Xeno "fans" are some of the biggest cucks in gaming next to pokefags
>>745763180>MMOThey did.>GachaThey did.Both are fucking dogshit. You're in the thread of one of them.
>>745693816>Are 2 and 3 just as bad? Oh no, they aren't. They're worse. Enjoy!
>>745695116Are you stupid
>>745771595He asked that like Xenoblade X isn't one of /v/'s cult darlings and hasn't gotten constant recommendations/mentions in mecha threads on this board for the last 10 years. It's either that, he's baiting or he's a genuine newfag.
>>745772614Neither Xenoblade or X are a mech series/game at all
>>745772867Gears, Saga and X are the only Xeno games you're allowed to talk about without them sperging out on /m/
>>745773417Refer to here. Thanks. >>745772867
>>745730391yeah if you're not ok with 3 hours straight of cutscenes you must HATE anime.shut the fuck up retard holy shit.
>>745763497Story was never the point of XCX though. But maybe when they do XC3 DE it'll have the opposite effect and the game will become good.
>>745775672The le old, "XBX was a tech demo for Monolithsoft to familiarize themselves with HD development" cope. >XC3 DE LIke with XB2? The game that desperately needed an enhanced version the most, it's never happening, moron."Definitive Edition" was just branding to justify porting every game that wasn't already on the Switch
>>745775672Nice copium. Where'd you buy it?
>>745754223Crazy hot
>>745777279*Crazy mid
>>745777229A guy named Martinez sells it on the corner of 5th and Cologne, it's the bomb
>>745777635Even mid is stretching it
>>745777930Figures a Xeno fag would be a third worlder, it's made for people with inferior intellect that act like pseuds.
>>745781154t. /lit/ poster whose wife is being banged by Martinez
>>745763497>>745767087the worst fucking takes imaginable, every single time i come here on /v/ it's incredible really.
Found the cucks >>745781403>>745781397
