>>746107363I look like this and this
>>746106881Bought this shit and completely regret it. Boring ass game. Girls are pretty though
>>7461068813 million overall, or 3 million more? Either way, nice.
>Worst game in the series>Sells the mostWhy does this happen so often?
>Best game in the series>Sells the mostshrimple as that.
>>746107724The left can't meme
>>7461075723 didn't sell the most.
>>746107943Job change system elevates the game above every other besides X:DE in terms of strategy.
>>746106881I really do need to replay it on switch 2.
>>746107943xenoblade 3 is game for trannies I think
>>746106881And yet Monolith hates it so much they would never dare to make a game as sexualized as this again
>>7461081312 has a literal tranny in it Also Rex was raised by a black woman.
>>746108131You are correct
>>746106881Anal with both.
>>746106881I hope Genesis outsells it just so I can see how 2fags attempt to restructure the narrative.
>>746106881That's weak numbers for softcore gatcha porn with a full rpg tacked on
>>746108303Samefag
>>746106881Isn't that something to be ashamed about? Most popular things are terrible.
>>746107943That's becauese everyone bounced off the series after 2 disappointed them.2 sold the most because 1 was such a good impression.
>>746106881Does the blonde have the bigger ass to compensate for her smaller tits?
>>746106881Genesis is so fucked if it doesn't take a hold a bigger JRPG loving audience. X2 truly got a hold of the goons and they don't care about Xenoblade without the goon material.
>>746106881>Zohar in the Doomsday trailer>Endgame re-release logo resembles the one for GenesisWhat does it mean?>>746108131>All Blades before Klaus gave them normal reproduction facilities were able to turn into titans and give birth to more blades >Nia's whole arc of coming out as a blade resonated with those groups >Meanwhile 3 promotes traditional gender relationships and breeding to create new life. Doesn't have a lesbian couple in sight either (Colony Mu doesn't count)Which one is for trannies, again?
>>746108513Then they can fuck off. I would rather have Xenoblade die than continue appealing to brainlets.
Pandering to gachafags ruined the franchise
>>746106881Yep, Xenoblade 3 will never live this down it is over, 4 year tops and it will be completely memory holed while Pyra and Mythra get a new plush or something.
>>7461086193, 3 is for trannies.
>>746106881Where did you get these numbers? I haven't seen any statements regarding sales update.
>>746108041>Job change system elevates the gameNah.
>>746108334>Genesis outsellspfffffttt hahahahahahahHah
>>746108619>3 promotes traditional gender relationships Every Xenoblade has traditional gender relationships, moron.
There's a Xenoblade 3?
>>746109073Xenopaizuri
>>746108334Every discussion I see about the game is either>Man, I'm glad the designs aren't like 2or>This game looks uninspired and they will have to show me something else to get me to buy itIts going to sell like shit. Everyone was disappointed by 3 overall for its lack of good quests and narrative structure, along with combat in the end game being buff spam before actually attacking once. People have realized that 1 and 2 were exceptions and that Monolith Soft doesn't know how to write. Or are we just going to forget how upset people were about X DE?
>>746106881I'm at chapter 4, side questin' and having a good time. Didn't care for the game much when I played through it on launch but now I'm liking it much more. It's still fast travel slop but sometimes you need that in your life.
>>7461091741 and 2 were good because they were just a hero's journey story with some exposition about Gods and shit thrown in at the end. 3 tried to incorporate a bunch of stupid bullshit like "dimensional merging" and similar nonsense and look at how it ended up. Nintendo really needs to hire a personal tard wrangler for Takahashi to keep from going off the deep end like he did in XC3.
I like how /v/irgins were so asspained by three blank lines in the last thread that the post got deleted.
>>746107572X sold like ass twice.
>>746109073Yeah. There's a nigger in it so I didn't play it either
>xeno 2 thread>random seethe about 3mindbroken coomerjeets lol
Takahashi infested his series with coomtards just to chase temporary sales success. Good job man, hope those numbers were worth killing your series.
>>7461097133 killed the series though. And Genesis looks even worse
>>746109713Yes, 3 killed the series, and Genesis will be the final coup de grace because no one wants to buy female protagonist safe horny otome shit. It will probably get shelved forever like F-Zero
>>746109713TRVKE
>>746109587Mind showing me the post in question?
>>746109023>Blades can be paired with any driver regardless of gender, or even species >A near perfect Ouroboros Interlink can only be performed by a male and female, with each having to be from either Keves or Agnus Use a just tiny bit of critical thinking skills before responding next time please >>746109174>>746109348>Everyone was disappointed by 3 overall for its lack of good quests The quests were the things that got high praise >Or are we just going to forget how upset people were about X DE?>3 tried to incorporate a bunch of stupid bullshit like "dimensional merging" and similar nonsense and look at how it ended up. Nintendo really needs to hire a personal tard wrangler for Takahashi to keep from going off the deep end like he did in XC3.Both 3 and Chp.13 were too high concept for Blade babies. I hope Takahashi ignores the bitching from 2fags and continues with his grand plan.
janny please ban XB2 threads this is the third day straight and i do not want to fap anymore save me janny
>>746106881And still rightfully the worst-rated game in the trilogy. Not even the remake with QoL saved it.
>>7461097423 was a return to form after 2 alienated the hardcore fanbase. I'm not gonna pretend 3 was a masterpiece, It's still nowhere near the first but that doesn't matter, Takahashi new fanbase cares jackshit about what he writes, his new audience just want the same diarrhea 2 shitted out.
>>746106881>Only 3M.So some random ass irrelevant niche game.
>>746110074We only see 1 team of Ouroboros. It's never stated that they have to be opposite genders. Also, I really don't think you want to imply that Ouroboros is meant to be a romantic/sexual thing, because that means Eunie x Taion is canon.
>>746108736>appealing to brainlets.ironically xb2 seems to be the most complex game as people always complain its combat is too complicated
>>746109587Joshua 3inch Ulmer

>>746108334switch 2 software will never outsell anything lol
>>746110253aand another xeno thread turned into /trash/great job guys
Pyrazuri
>>746110247>We only see 1 team of Ouroboros.and the makers of the game chose to make the team 3 boys and 3 girls, the intent is obvious as fuck
>>746106881Another thread? Aren't Anons getting drained dry from discussing xenoblade 2 so much?
>>746110340A reminder, people said Metaphor flopped despite almost selling 2.5 million copies because it didn't do Persona 5 numbers.
Homurass
>>746110252>complex>almost completely erased positioning based arts.>still there in name as "slightly increased damage from side/back">3 right after it has rage management with launch causing rage and burst calming it, more positional arts, fixed aggro management that 2 broke, field arts and defender ranges incentivizig staying close to defenders, party member swap on the fly and fusion combos.But 2 is more complex because of colorful blade combo jingle keys right? Fuck off man.
When can I start buying overdrives? I've used the few I've found and I forget when they become available to buy.
>>746110524Nah. Noah x Mio are the only ones meant to be a real couple.
>>746110609>Homura
>>746110661personally I dont think its that much but the masses clearly do
>>746110706Ng+ by using your EXP to buy them.Yes it's retarded. Everything about 2 is designed to be painfully tedious or sadisttic.
>>746110975I'm pretty sure I at least had an abundance of them by the time I was in the end game, when I first played through 2 and I never went to NG+.
>>746111118You probably have the DLC then.
she won
>>746111182If I did it didn't transfer to the Switch 2 version.
>>746111281You get 3 overdrives the entire game without the DLC. Otherwise you have to max out level 4 blades and release them and finish everyone's affinity charts.
Homura.Hikari.
>>746111228POWERFUL
Zeke and Pandoria should have been the main characters. Rex and Pyra/Mythra are so damn boring.
>>746108334Yeah the $80 censored game is gonna totally outsell the best game in the franchise
黒猫ホムラ
>>746110661>burstdoes shit damage and is not needed at alljust go for a chain attack while the enemy is launched and finish with a smash fusion combo into big dick damage>defender ranges incentivizig staying close to defendersexcept that shit never works because of the braindead ai that likes to shit itself when you fight a big monster>party member swap that is only usefull in the early and mid game but you never need to switch your character in the late game>fusion combosonly really a cool thing in future redeemedthe base game fusion combos are kind of lame compared to future redeemed desuXB3 is not really challenging if you just realize early on that smash fusion combos are busted in chain attacks
>>746111495>>746111862
>>746111641>Censored
>>746111886>does shit damageBecause it gets you extra items and stops the monsters enrage.Not gunna bother reading the rest of your post since you basically just admitted the only type of strategy you think about is "moar damage". I can't be assed.
>>746112043>>746112043>gets you extra itemsusually you need to gimp your damage output for burst to even be usedit usually much faster to just kill monsters in 1 or 2 seconds for faster dropsburst is a waste of time you oxymoron
>>746110465
>>746106881>Xenoblade 2 sold 3m copies.Source?
>>746112403It's great for delaying or stopping monster enrage as I said but you're too retarded to even recognize that. Monsters are far less prone to break and topple when enraged, will topple the shit out of you and do tons of damage.
>>746108334People said the exact same thing about 3 and we all know how that one turned out
Thread didn't turn into a stealth ERP thread as desired, time to self-destruct!
>scatfag>erpfags>/trash/fagsXB fans have no spine, letting these creatures ruin your game's threads.
I love how 3fags still have to desperately hang onto the coomer narrative because otherwise they would have to admit their game is very flawed and simply not very good, certainly nowhere near as good as 1 no matter how much they claim it to be a return to form.
>>746111886Soon as you unlock lucky seven there is literally no point using anyone except Noah.
>>746112574It outsold 2 on launch but didn't have the same legs. Which is enough to be deemed a flop even though it came close to 2 million in a shorter time frame.
>>746106881It's the only good Xenoblade game.It's an offline mmo auto battler.It scams you with connections to xenosaga.Gotcha bs.Badly written story that is nonsense for the most part.Let's be honest about Xenoblade. If this was a ps2 game it would be a 6/10 at best. It would get praise for the exploration and huge areas and graphics but that would pretty much be it.Rouge Galaxy is a much better game as are many others
>>746112948gameplay wise its better than one but it has increadibly bland characters and an unsatisfying story so overall id say they're about equel 2>X>1=3
>>746113032It was deemed a flop because by its third quarter it was reduced to selling 50,000 copies worldwide. It took 2 several years to fall to that level of sales, 3 didn't even last one.Selling a lot at first and then falling off a cliff just means it was only bought by people who were already Xenoblade fans, it failed to attract new people and word of mouth did nothing for it.
>>746113460>scams you with connections to xenosaga.nobody cares about xenosaga>Let's be honest about Xenoblade. If this was a ps2 game it would be a 6/10 at bestit would be a 10/10 cult classic nobody would complain about the gacha because it hadn't gotten a negative connotation because of phone games, no one would complain about the coomers designs either since tumblr wasnt a thing yet
>>746113032Nintendo prides itself on its games selling well long after launch its the reason why they never lower prices. In that context 3 was definitely worse than 2.
>>746112482So no source. AIDS op AIDS thread, all of you can kill yourselves
>>746108485>"What about X?">"S-Shut up!!"Yeah, okay clown
>>746108334>A game without Pyra, Mythra and Nia>Outselling a game with Pyra, Mythra, and NiaErm, yeah, okay
>>746113637Also for Japan especifically 3 is still below 1DE to this day. It failed to outsell a remaster of a Wii game that had already been rereleased multiple times.
>>746109713The ryza effect
Why does this retard keep making his dogshit threads?
>>746111971>leftistdiscourse.jpg>every single marketer defending this game acts like a leftistHow bizzare
>>746114482It’s a discord server where they reply to each other.
>>746114482They can't keep their general on /vg/ alive so they just spam threads here every fucking day.
Xenoblade 2 Homura
>>746113637>>746113843This just reads of cope and wishful-thinking, "It's a flop because of all this arbitrary bullshit based on confirmation bias and vibes. Trust me, bro I'm a financial analyst">>7461141601 might as well been a new game for them on Switch, unless you think Japan cared about the Wii U virtual console and New 3DS
>>746115008>>746115123I wish this series had better fanbase.
>>746114482gotta be a /trash/ raid, previous one hit bump limit. being protected by a janny or hes in here gooning with the erpfaggots instead of just nuking it
>>746115185They let lefties in with 3 and there isn’t any recovering from that unfortunately.
Play and love LOVE all Xenoblade like me.
how do these shit threads reach 200+ replies every day?it's not right
>>746115443Image spam and ragebait
>>746115443XB2 is just that popular
>>746115183Yeah you are right it's not exactly a flop, just disappointing stagnation and slow decline. Though 3fags brought it upon themselves by spamming >>746108334 during prerelease over and over.
>>746115183>1 might as well been a new game for them on Switch, unless you think Japan cared about the Wii U virtual console and New 3DSThis just reads of cope and wishful-thinking

>>746115183>Hard data is "arbitrary vibes"lmaoshould have made a better game
>>746112948Are you seriously suggesting that Xenoblade 2 sold as well as it did primarily because of the gameplay and story?
Monolith should just make a Xenoblade 2 gacha for mobile.
>>746115180>Homura
>the best series result is>3 million sold copies when it was the first RPG exclusive on the new console >with Nintendo cult>in 9 yearsWhy do xenofags think they are big?
>>746116075But this Isn't a Persona 5 thread.
>>746116430Well the combat system doesn't literally play itself like 3 and the story is unarguably better than 3 so possibly
>>746116503Unironically that might be the best decision they can make. Gacha game can appeal to the coomtards and make enough money for Monolith to make actual Xenoblade games.
You can pinpoint the exact moment Enel sent his discord cronies over to gangrape posts talking positively about the other games.
>>746115997>Taking more umbrage with what was at most a year of people hoping 3 outsold 2 over the FIVE YEARS of "Japanese humor posting" and people making memes about Rex and 2's UI design.Man, this post >>746112817 was right, Xenoblade fans have no spine. Instead of taking issue with /v/ at large, who actually shat on XB2, instead they choose to punch down on the easier target, new kids.>>746116039Sure, sure
>>746116878I can give you the gameplay, but in no way 2 has a better narrative than 3. No scene in Xenoblade 2 is better than the prison sequence or the end of chapter 1(I can name other story sequences too), Noah is objectively a better protag than Rex and N is easily the best villain in the series.
>>746116878Once you understand how 2's combat system works and the exact way to exploit it, it becomes a rhythm game with a single song and zero penalties for missing a beat.
>>746117384>Spend the whole prerelease period bragging about how your new pet game is going to be this massive thing and eclipse what came before it>It doesn't>Expect not to get mocked for itTalk shit get hit3fags should accept their place as the annoying contrarians of the fanbase like Engaygies did
>>746117707>Every fan is the same personXenobladefag here, you single game warriors are the real cancer.
>>746117514He's gonna shit on you for this because N specifically triggers him really hard, even though he's a slightly less retarded Jin.
>>746117707>EngaygieOh god, a three houses troon. You have no right to talk about censorship and leftists.
>>746117707>He doubles down on itCertified bitchmade, of course because 2fags are the ERPsissies.
>>746117514I can't be bothered to look for it so just pretend I posted the "Mio it's feelings!" pic. I also can't bring myself to care about Temu Fei and Elly repeating plot beats from Xenogears in a strictly inferior way.>>746117551Once you understand how 3's combat systems works you won't even have to touch your controller because the only thing that matters is building a teamcomp in menus.
>>746106881op if you keep making a thread every day with those two this becomes a general
>>746118117>in a strictly inferior wayYeah, no. It's time to admit Xenogears was a dated broken unfinished piece of shit and the every future game Takahashi made mogs it
>>746118063funny thing is the new game with half the cast being brown will sell 3 times as much as gaynensis but do go on about how xenoblade doesn't need ''coomers'' to survive
>>746117514The problem with 3 is that it is too contrived if they had designed it straight up as a direct sequel with heavy references to the other games it would of been the best game in the series but for what ever retarded reason they tried to build a stand alone game that also followed the lore from the previous games and they ended up tying themselves in knots when trying to write the plot because they ended up kneecapping themselves with what they could do. Without that shackle hopefully genesis will be a return to form.
>>746118730>if they had designed it straight up as a direct sequel with heavy references to the other games it would of been the best game in the seriesSo you wanted capeshit reference slop and are mad you got something original.
>>746107363what did this guy even do wrong
>>746117514>the prison sequenceOverrated movie that's longer than MGS4's scenes
>>746106881>We are the best selling xenoblade game in history.I mean that was already the case, no?
>>746118482>Yeah, no.Yes lol.Fei and Elly's reincartion romance is properly foreshadowed throughout the whole game and affects almost every single aspect of the worldbuilding, from places you visit to people you meet, you also get to see what these lives looked like and the repercussions they had.Noah and Mio's "romance" gets 40 minutes worth of cutscenes haphazardly thrown together tellling you "yeah they totally loved each other through many lives that all looked identical you should totally care about this and believe they are very very very in love also none of this was foreshadowed before their two evil doppelgangers showed up right before this" only when this plot point finally becomes relevant.Even the cinematography is shit>Elly getting shot down from behind as she and Abel escape from Cain and his troops>Elly looking at Kim through a security door as she tries to protect him and their artificial daughter>Elly performing a suicide attack against Solaris as Lacan and Krellian can only watch in horrorvs>Mio vanishes in a generic stock pose next to Noah while Z walks towards them>Mio vanishes in a generic stock pose next to Noah while Z walks towards them, this time from a different anglelol
I've never played anything Xenoblade, should I start with 2? The welsh catgirl's voice makes my penis happy.But on the other hand, I could get Donkey Kong Bananza or AC: New Horizons.
>>746118915>The epic climax to the trilogy must be completely original and removed from the rest of the trilogyWhat a fantastic idea.
On one hand, I want Genesis to flop and the series to get shelved so I no longer have to see 2fags continue to seethe about 3 and Genesis. On the other hand, I want Genesis to succeed so I can see more of my cute elven wife.
>>746119173He dared to be a white guy who dressed up in kimono. Capital offense to some people.
>>746118730>3>Contrived >they ended up tying themselves in knots when trying to write the plot because they ended up kneecapping themselves 3's narrative is extremely straight-forward to the point where there's no genre redefining twist like previous two games because they already laid everything on the table within the first four chapters.
>3’s story is so deep>the characters have a fully voiced cutscene where they talk about the mmo trinity and respeccing their classeslolLmao evenSo glad this shit bombed.
>>746118730If the direct sequel was anything like Future Redeemed than I'm genuinely grateful for the base game not being heavy handed in reference.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is an objectively bad game liked by objectively bad people.
>>746119630>I've never played anything Xenoblade, should I start with 2? The welsh catgirl's voice makes my penis happy.You can start with any game you like, ignore storyfags
>>746119635Takahashi himself said he never likes doing the same thing twice and always tries to make the his next game radically different from the last. He said this during X, and he said this during 2.
>>746119865>3's narrative is extremely straight-forwardand thats why its shit they had no room to maneuver because of all the restrictions they placed upon themselves and the climax of the game ends up happening way before the actual end of the game.
3 won, 2coomers lost.
>>746119635>The soldiers lose their memories after they die like Blades lose the memories of their previous lives after their Driver dies and all of humanity is able to call their weapons like Blades on Alrest It wasn't just the "I love you, Nia" line that was took literally from 2.I find 3 being a thematic conclusion to the trilogy pretty much perfect in spite of the lackluster endgame in the base game
>>746121514>I'm killing the series I ''like'' but at least I owned le chudsok taash
>>746118730No, in fact I think 3 is already too close to 1 and 2 as it is. The "worlds merging" premise is fucking trash, they should've made a new, original world that was only very loosely tied to the other games, like how 1 and 2 were loosely tied together and you only found out about it at the end. Instead they made their blandest, shittiest world yet and tried to compensate by filling it up with 'memberberries.
>>746106881I just got cured by nias butt again
I've never played any Xenoblade before, are each game connected? Or should I just start with Xenogears or the switch edition of Xenoblade?

>>746106881You fuckers are way too vocal for such a low selling game. Just goes to show how bad shilling really is when a game that struggles to sell 3M can generate this much waifu faggotry despite the game itself being dogshit and games that sell 5-10 million get 1/4 the discussion.

>>746126243>rexfag immediately thinks about penisesCurious.
>>746123149>are each game connected?Not really. There's a bit of a meta story about how the world was created that links them. But its not like you have to play them in order.

>>746126318yeah those are in the same league dummy
>>746126438Nah, shonenshit will always be better than Isekaislop. Isekaislop is like the lowest of the low, you can't get lower than that.

>>746119629>also none of this was foreshadowed before their two evil doppelgangers showed up right before thisNoah and Mio specifically got a private moment in chapter 3 where they acknowledged how they never noticed how the Armus aged before becoming Ouroboros and Noah said this line on the shot of the Armu family, which mirrored the brief time he had spent with Mio and Ghondor. Yeah, the issue is that 3's foreshadowing is very abstract and subtle you wouldn't pick up on it the first time, with a fanbase that has been conditioned by literal plot spoiler visions and Dickson going, "Man, I feel bad for having to betray these kids."
>>746127640>reseteraYou wish. It's just the resident schizos that got bullied way too hard out of FE threads.
>>746127896Well /v/ always complains about everything being gay and censored yet XB2 which is straight and has tits and ass somehow gets attacked for those very things.I'm just noticing is all.
Why is it always 2fags vs 3fags throwing shit at each other? Are 1fags and Xfags the only true chads of the franchise?
>>7461282402fags love 1fags.
>>746128054The fact that you think this compares to something like the Nisan portrait or Emeralda's entire existence is genuinely embarrassing for 3.
>>7461282402fags are not even real. It's almost entirely bait.
>>746126296>fans are not allowed to be vocal and enthusiastic for a game if it doesn't top the charts>on /v/ - Video GamesAre you braindead?>despite the game itself being dogshitWhat didn't you like about it, anon? I thought it was pretty good, albeit slow in the beginning.
>>746108334Genesis looks like a boring Three Houses ripoff. I'd been telling myself that Xenoblade 4 would probably be the thing that makes me finally pull the trigger on the Switch 2, but once Genesis was revealed, that's changed. We'll see what reviews say but I have zero hype for that game.At this stage I think XB1 and XBX may have been the exception rather than the norm in terms of Xenoblade being good.
>>746128484>most popular and highest selling gameit's 3fags who are trolling or pretending to like the failed experiment for culture war reasons
>>746128520>Three Houses ripoffThree Houses didn't invent fantasy school uniformsAnd that's the only similarity.
>>746128712This is what I mean. There are no real 2fags because they either like all the games or don't bother with the other ones.It's all bait.
>>746128468I didn't compare it to anything, you sweaty faggot. I was just pointing out your mistake.
>>7461283981 and Xfags LOATHE 2fags.
>>746128972>they either like the new garbage or quitno shit?I won't bother with geneshit that's for sure, I still bought 3 despite my reservations and it wasn't good
>>746129272>Xniggers trying to fit in
>>746128214The problem with 2fags is that they never own it. They say it's nostalgia and PS1 era RPG comfy and other bullshit buzzwords but never admit they solely like it for the waifufaggotry and refuse to touch the other games. Like I said with >>746126090The boob scene actually had some retard back in the day unironically claim it was a reference to the original Dragon Ball and acted like it was a gotcha moment to anyone who said it was out of place. they'd also edit scenes to look like oldschool anime they never gave a shit about just because Takahashi said it was an inspiration in an interview.All this along with taking shots at the original Blade, like using an out of context quote about the cutscene storyboards looking like shonen manga to call the entire game shonenslop, and calling people chugga watching secondaries, only to turn right around and praise him when he started playing Xenoblade 2. There was also some giga retard spreading fake news about how the Japanese version of X was a completely different game that was a lot more like XC2, as if we weren't in the era where we can easily verify that. And you probably were even around for this, but people called XC2 a harem game back then too, and the smug 2fags always laughed at you saying Rex likes Pyra and only Pyra, so it couldn't be a harem, only to turn right around the call the harem BASED when 3 confirmed it.They're all awful pieces of shit that don't have any respect for the series.
>>746128240People who find 3 fine consider 2 escalation (too much fan service and leans too heavily into otaku cluture) and people who find 2 fine consider 3 capitulation (Self censorship to appease people who aren't the target demographic). There isn't really such devisive lines between1/X.
>>746129446Like I said, all bait
>>7461283981fags were their biggest boogeyman before 3fags came along.
>>746130039>they either like the games or don't like the gamesyou are baiting and it was funny enough for another (You)
>>746129772Looks like I was right about the resetera part after all.That was easy.
>Xenoblade 1 waifus have 0 presence in the threads>they became worse
>>746128994It's not a mistake because that's not even foreshadowing that's just showing how they are no longer under the influence of the flame clock. Might as well say that Noah getting flustered at changing clothes in front of Mio was foreshadowing too.
>>746128520I don't know how you can possibly take the trailer at face value when the games are known for their twists that completely turn the setting on it's head.
How is Xenoblade 2’s gameplay compared to 1’s?
>>746130391much better combat
>>746130350it's obviously ''consulted'' by a DEI firm so it'll be bad, you don't need to be a genius to figure it out
>>746129772>refuse to touch the other games.I've played all of them. 1 and X are also good, 3 is trash.
I like all the games. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Though I do consider 3 the bottom. I don't hate 3. What does that make me?
>>746130537>A DEI firm told them to make it a school settingSchizophrenia is a hell of a drug.
>>746130391More braindead
>>746130205you missed the point where they wouldn't cry about it on /v/
>>746129772>only to turn right around the call the harem BASED when 3 confirmed it.The fuck are you smoking the NG+ title screen confirmed the harem ending long before 3 came out.
>>746130095I don't really understand what's with 2fags and their obsession with showing everyone how much they "care" about other Takahashi's games.
>>746130254>implying Fiorafags exist >implying Sharlafags exist
>>746130391Different but not much of an improvement. The DLC is a lot better.
>>746129772>The game that pushed the pedal to the metal referencing the old games is actually liked by people who hate the seriesProbably the most retarded narrative from anti-2 fagsXenogears was my first Xeno game, emulated because europoor.
>>746130957This but with 3fags. 3fags were the ones pretending like they played Xenosaga after FR came out
>>746130350What was 3's twist?
>>746130482Yeah maybe after the first 40 hours it gets good, or if you look up movement exploits. Xenoblade 2's early game combat is pure shit if you're just playing normally. The game actively punishes you for moving, since auto-attacks directly feed Arts which directly feed Specials, meaning that any time you spend moving is fucking you over on multiple fronts. It's literally better to keep your feet planted and remain completely stationary, only moving to avoid red circle attacks, than it is to actually try to take advantage of positional bonuses. Starting your Arts on cooldown is also retarded because it means that a lot of basic fights are over from auto-attacks before you can even fire off an Art. So most of the early game involves initiating combat and putting the controller down until you win. Ironically Xenoblade 2's combat only starts getting good once you begin to unlock Xenoblade 1 combat mechanics, like having your Arts available at the start of combat.
>>746130957>2fags are annoying because they don't care about the other games but also also also they are annoying because they care about them too muchSee what I mean
>>746130728no but it told them to change the main artist to a woman which gave it a different generic artstyle and have flat unsexy female main character with brown male LI
>>746130905One coping Niafag retard said that, and everyone made fun of him.
I bet most XB2 haters are Trailsfags
>>746131570>trails*vomited*
>>746130957Might have something to do with all that gaslighting you did saying people who like 2 have never played the game and are soley tertiary coomers and not real fans.
>>746130391I like 1's better but launching and smashing enemies is satisfying.Sadly you can't turn off the QTEs without the DLC.
>>746131432Nobody gives a shit if a Japanese woman does character designs you retarded gaijin.
>>746131328>>746131834>absolutely irrelevant rebuttal>probably discord fuckbuddies
>>746132161it does when they are noticeably worse and look from a mobile game
>>746132279>mobile gameYou have to be trollingYou're defending a game that literally has guest artists for its gacha mechanic.
>>746119629You know, since I'm already here I'll be nice and say that there's one plot point that 3 recycled from Xenogears and it actually did better: Shania is a better Hammer. Not like that's saying a lot because that plotline got aborted since it starts right at the point where the game lost its budget and devtime. But yeah, Shania is Hammer with an actual developed character.
>>7461309572fags are just insane. I haven't met one that's sensible. Something about the game requires them to have an inferiority complex.
>>746132425and yet genesis is the game where you literally woudn't be able to tell which game it is without knowing in advance
>>746132427>one plot point that 3 recycled from Xenogears and it actually did better: ShaniaShaniafags are peak contrarians, I swear to God.
Why do 2 fans hate 3 so much? It's more of all the good stuff from all previous games. Why wouldn't you want that?
>>746132631You can say that about all the games. They all have a wildly different artstyle, even 3 despite having the same artist as 2.
What makes 2fags so much more sensitive and fiercely defensive of it moreso fans of other entries in the series. You don't see Xfags sperg out like they do when people point out flaws in X.
>>746132820not different to the point the comments on the announcement from nintendo JP are overwhelmingly negative
>>746132781They hyped it up for half a decade as "Rex and Pyra and Mythra explore a new world, featuring Shulk" and mad when it wasn't what they expected.They also got double cucked when FR was exactly what they wanted, just without Pyra and Mythra.
>2shit fully scrubbed from 3 and GenesisZero cultural impact. Porn addiction is a mental illness
>>746132976You just moved the goalpost to the moon with that statement.
>>746132781You mean 3pseudo-elitism?
>>746130316>how they are no longer under the influence of the flame clock.You're telling the couple that escaped the flame clock multiple times, felt a sense of comfort looking at a family once they were no longer under the influence of the flame clock? With the game already having established that some echoes of previous cycles are embedded into their psyches, like when Eunie first saw D&J.But whatever, man it doesn't count.
>>746106881I just want Pyra to sit on my face and call me a pig
>>746106881>we
>>746133026>celebrating a game that sold less that the game you're shit talking for ''cultural impact''woketards have 0 public support and can only rely on larry fink bribing developers
>>746132781>It's more of all the good stuff from all previous games.lmao no it is not
>>746132843You mean 3fags right?
>>746133114pointing out how different it looks would have you go in circles with ''it's not that different'' so instead I'm pointing out the whiplash is the general sentiment here
>>746133249Fuck Larry Fink for magically learning to speak Japanese and going to the Japanese Monolith offices and forcing them to make the game bad.
>>746133356No, I mean 2fags. They've been being super sensitive for far longer. This isn't a recency thing.
>>746132781Squandered potential the game, its the game with the most complex mechanics and had much more polish than every other xeno game got but bottled it with all the tame design choices leaving it a mediocre experience when it should of been the best game in the series.
>>746133390>No you see... I was actually pretending to be retarded! it was a 300IQ ruse!How sad.
>>746133567Meanwhile 3fags post this shit >>746133026
I only like 1fags and Xfags.
>>746133659say what you want, the DEI hire woman fucked up and the characters look generic as hell, most people think this
Is this the thread?
/v/ is the only place I see hate 3.
>>746134141Twitter hates it as well, mainly because of the heavy userbase overlap with /v/
>>746134141Feel free to go back to r*ddit then, faggot.
>>746131570They are just anti-porn puritans who thinks women should dress properly. They don't even care about the vidya, its a 50/50 if its a guy from sharty most of the time. We saw it on another thread earlier. Post anything sexual and they have a melty.
>>746134448Nah, I will continue to post here. Why are you so sensitive to calling out X2 all these years later? Why are X2 fags so defensive??X1 and Xfags remain the true chads.
Something funny I've noticed in the comparatively more normie circles I frequent now that the 3 honeymoon period is over and switch 2 upgrades are being released, people are starting to admit 3's areas suck, something so called contrarians here have pointed out for years. People lamenting that 3 doesn't have any area that looks as good as Valak Mountain, or Sylvalum, or Uraya, etc
>>746135016Go back.
>>746134141>admitting that you browse reddit oh no no no 3bros...
Is everyone ITT larping or are xenofags really this unwell?
>>746135068Nope. Not for now at least. I spend more time in this dumbster fire of a board.>>746135123>Aiiiiee redditMan, imagine a shit community calling another shit community shit. How ironic. X1 and Xbros truly are the least retarded of the franchise.
>>746135437It's shit because of migrating retards like you, daggot.
>>746135023>I frequent now that the 3 honeymoon period is overThe game's over 4 years old>>746135264The latter, people in these threads have been treating games that didn't conform to their expectations like they killed their families and poisoned their crops for the past decade
>>746135264They've been unwell from the start, the game that started their entire franchise was created to be mogged and overshadowed as the weird step brother of Final Fantasy 7.
>>746107363what a shit name, keep the god work kimono schizo
>>746135023I only played through 3 once, right when it launched, so memory's fuzzy. But going off of memory, the first things that come to my mind are "grey burnt terrain" and "random mishmash of Xenoblade 1 and 2 landmarks".I know there were other biomes and areas, like the desert with the shifting sand or the big ocean area where you pilot a ship, but those are fuzzy. My general recollection is just of muddy grey/brown/black environments with random assets strewn about, whereas with 1 and 2 I can picture specific landmarks and terrain details.
How to make your average election tourist to have a melty>Say you like japanese game with sexy girls>Post a sexy girlCongratulations, you will be called a tranny or gooner or pornbrain and a contrarian for liking a game because it has cute girls in it!
>>746135563The deser is just the desert from Torna but bigger and uglier, and the ocean is just Eryth Sea from 1 but bigger and uglier.In general it seems like they were counting on the size of the maps and the memberberries from 1 and 2 to carry the design.
>>746135524FF7 story isn't comparable to XG
X1 > X >>> X3 > X2Why are X1 and X so much better than the latter two bros?
>>746132427>Shania is Hammer with an actual developed character.Two completely different characters with different roles.
>>746136060And still wasn't allowed to be Final Fantasy 7 because it was too edgy.
>>746136185And yet it sold 1milion copies as a brand new IP
>>746136073I don't like XC1 that much, but X was probably really good because Takahashi is a massive westaboo that mostly plays western games, so doing a Xeno game with American soldiers as the main cast was probably a dream come true for him.
>>746106881>Xenoblade 2 sold 3m copies
I'm looking forward to seeing the areas look exactly as advertised and the game not shitting itself when it rains
>>746136060Some concepts clearly were shared from the original prototype, most obviously the protagonist with memory and identity problems, and Deus and Jenova both being new thematic descendants of Lavos from Chrono Trigger
>>746113637And? So what? Game still brought in profit. By definition it is not a flop.You are a retard to simply want number to go up infinitely.3 was a damn good game and you niggers need to end this i fighting faggotry
I'd fuck Sena before I'd touch any girl in X2. That being said 3 is still barely mediocre and 2 is mostly shit until the end where it actually gets decent (too little too late I'm afraid).
I lost the screenshots of Pandoria's glorious hips. I'm gonna lurk the archives for it, I'll post it if I find it again.She has the best body though I like Theory the most as a waifu or whatever.I'm sure Momo getting added in the rerelease will be nice.
>>7461366213, did indeed bring in profit, it also allowed Monolithsoft to increase their staff numbers and employee salaries, and it fast-tracked the development of XDE and Genesis.
Did you really need to be a salesfag OP? This is your fault.
>>746136816>will be nice.Anon, the update went live a while ago, Momo's already in the game.
>>746106881Mythra's kid doko?
>>746108485That's actually a good observation. We've seen this exact same with Megaman Battle Network 4 coming off from Network 3 which was well received and then 4 came along with all the advertising it received (I remember all the promos it got on Kids WB) and suffice to say it sold the most and thus sadly 5 and 6 got less sales which is a shame due to 4's problems.
>>746106881Best selling and the worst game.
>>746138209^Honestly, I preferred Torna, you know? The dlc game that apparently the devs originally had planned to be the one they go with first instead of making it a prequel.
>>746138031Thanks fren.
>>746138198Even if you people wanted to apply this logic, 2 wasn't released after 1, it got released after X.Furthermore the biggest drop in sales wasn't 2 to DE, or DE to 3, it was 3 to XDE.
>>746135023I heard 3 used procedural generation for environments to speed up dev time. Which made environments lose their hand-craftedness of previous games.
>>746136621>be a niche series>have a breakout success game>ignore that game to pander to an (((alternative))) audience>series stagnates and diesit was a flop
>>746138361Ironic that Torna got high-praised for it's more somber tone and watered down anime elements compared to 2 and everything about 3 is closer to Torna, right down to the campsites and yet people think that 3 was made in direct rejection of 2.
>>746138691Ooooooh yes I recall that interview too now that you mention it. It would certainly explain a lot.Uraya vs that one place in 3 with the same cherry trees is basically hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.
>>746138696>dies>its getting another sequel2 tourists are so funny. They dont even like the game for any of the reasons that they should, which is the art direction, the writing (because they play the butchered english troonlation), the exploration, etc etc.You literally only like the game because "mythra and pyra" were in smash and it made you horny. Thats it. The series was doing just fine without pandering to people who only care about extremely low brow superficial things and it will continue to do just fine.
>>746139071>which is the art direction, the writing (because they play the butchered english troonlation), the exploration, etc etc.All worse in 3
>>746139071>doesn't deny the stagnationgood, do you see an universe where geneshit does well? there's none this is the end
>>746139293Next you will say they were worse in Torna and FR as well. You will never ever get another Xenoblade game like 2 because Takehashi clearly didnt even really want to make it like that and was using retards like you as paypiggies so he could fund the eventual recreation of his entire xenogears and xenosaga lore.
>>746138691>>746138964https://news.instant-gaming.com/en/articles/12662-the-xenoblade-chronicles-3-devs-cut-production-costs-through-procedural-generation>Monolith is now exploring this technology to automatically generate buildings and cities, starting from simple building blocks.Abandon all hope of Genesis having good soulful towns
>>746139420>Takehashi clearly didnt even really want to make it like that and was using retards like you as paypiggiesYou are a lying tranny faggot>I think in terms of Xenoblade 2, there’s always–like I mentioned–things that I wished I could have done or thought I should have done differently. I feel like Xenoblade 2 is my opportunity and my way to put all of that into reality. I say all of that, but I probably can’t do everything in that title, and I’m sure that when this game is done, I’ll have more post-mortem things to think about and more changes and different things that I’d like to do. That’ll be carried out to the next title, whatever it is that I work on. It’s this cycle that really keeps me going, but obviously if you’re stuck on one point, you can’t move forward, and the game will never be made, so there’s certain times where you have to kind of draw the line and say, “This is how far I’m going to go this time. Whatever is left, I’ll carry it on to the next game.” That’s kind of how I see it, but Xenoblade 2 is kind of like a culmination of all the things that I have done–and would like to have done–from my past.Both Torna and FR were significantly better than 3 as well, almost like 3 had a ton of baffling design choices that people didn't like and retards like you are latching onto muh coomers as a cope
>>746139506>70% of 3's world was AI sloplol lmaoCan you believe this dev was once praised for their big crafted worlds?
>>746139769Its so funny that you not only completely misinterpret this quote to mean everything in 2 is what he wanted for the game but also think that everyone who thinks that 2 is worse than 3 somehow thinks 3 is perfect. Of course its not, the consuls look fucking retarded. But guess who else looks retarded? Rex in 2, and this was ONLY fixed in FR lol. The map ui in 3 is also fucking atrocious and I have no idea why they didnt just try to do something similar to X.But 2? 2 is not a bad game, its just the weakest of the series by quite a lot. Especially if you play the fan fiction localization (which, lets be honest, you did). You cannot claim to enjoy 2 because its the culmination of everything that Takehashi wanted to do but then also play the fucking troonlation that completely changes and shits on everything it can. You are a tourist posting random fucking poorly translated articles to defend your liking a poorly translated game.
desu i dont like 3s world at all. most levels feel as empty as temperantia does in 2. 2 had the right amount of scale and denseness to its world
>>746139875>proc gen is the same as generitive aiI know some people on this board are retarded but jesus christ you are actually so dumb that everyone who has to interact with you has their IQ permanantly lowered.
>>746140089I didn't misinterpret anything, I posted proof that your claim that Takahashi didn't even want to make 2 like it's something he regretted is horseshit. Go be a lying tranny somewhere else.>the consuls look fucking retardedThe consuls' issue is not that they "look retarded" is that they absolutely horrendous villains completely unfit to carry a very long plot intensive JRPG narrative. Takahashi wanted a game where the villains are realistic, uncool and only evil for petty reasons which is respectable but the end result is a game where you fight villains that wouldn't feel out of place in a children's cartoon for 60 fucking hours. And since they are the only real villain faction they can't even serve as foil for anyone else. Alpha isn't a particularly deep character but his mere existence elevates N because his presence gives N something play off.>its just the weakest of the series by quite a lotIt's so weak that nip fans (who obviously didn't play the trannylation that you are trying to hide behind like a coward), including famous manga artists continued to produce fan content for it years after the fact while 3 is already in firmly forgotten territory. Remarkable.
How many meme cycles has this game been through? Off the top of my head there has been>minge>Japanese humor>attractive>Hikari/Homura and Ken-sama
>>746140089Im not part of this discussion, but you keep changing your arguments and just throwing insults and changing subject. Its like you want to "win" more than have a proper discussion. I find it extremely annoying because I disagree with the other anon but you feel like borderline falseflagger with how you write, or underage. Its like trying your best to be as unlikeable as possible and write like a teen who is panicking and trying to look cool and smart.I recommend trying to have a conversation irl and see how people talk when they disagree on a topic.
>>746106881No here’s Nia’s ass
>>746106881how did these two become such icons of porn addiction
>>746140791>>attractiveThat one was really forced.
>>746140787So you played the origonal japanese or translation mod then? Yes or no. Also popularility has nothing to do quality lol. They purposely hired a shit ton of popular artists to make blades for the game specifically for mass marketing to the people you are mentioning. Japan has retarded consoomers just like NA does. In fact, one of the worst things from a creative aspect in 2 is how little cohesion there is in the character design because there are so many different artists. Almost none of the blades actually look like they belong in that world and some of them are literally just xenosaga characters. Its complete creative entropy meant to appeal to as many people as possible who like those specific artists or to remember better characters from better games. Not to mention locking them behind a fucking gacha system in a single player game because they knew thats what paypiggies are accustomed to LOL
>>746119173Nothing. Also, it's been like 20+ fucking years.
>>746140918>proper discussion.Thats how I know you are samefagging, because if you were someone different and had actually read the comments you would know this guy had 0 intention of ever having a conversation lol. Hes been throwing temper tantrums all thread about the existence of 3 and how the series is dying because its moving away from the things he was cooming to in 2. There is no discussion to be had with someone like that, only ridicule.
>>746140787>It's so weak that nip fans (who obviously didn't play the trannylation that you are trying to hide behind like a coward), including famous manga artists continued to produce fan content for it years after the factThe game includes contributions from multiple famous anime, LN and manga artists within it. It covers every base for otakudom and it would be weird if it didn't garner a cult following based solely on that like with SMTIV.>while 3 is already in firmly forgotten territory. Remarkable.Sure, man.
>>746133594>tame design choicesOh you're made it's not as showy and fantasy as 2? It's a military setting if course it'll be more grounded.I actually loved the designs in 3. They were perfect.
>>746141942As someone who loves 3, the consul designs stick out like a sore fucking thumb and I want to know why the fuck he chose to do that.
it's a military setting that's why the designs are censoredit's a school setting that's why the designs are censoredit's a [literally every other plot in existence] that's why the designs are censoredthere's no agenda ok chuds?
>>746142048Because XB3 is Rebuild of Xenosaga 3. The Testaments were referred to by color and FUCK having to create 25 uniquely colored Consuls that would get dumpstered at the end of a, completely optional mind you, Colony quest line.I don't mind the Consuls personally.
How come Trails in the Sky and Fire Emblem don’t get this kind of discussion?
>>746142356>look i like 2 for reasons completely unrelated to the fact that I am a coomer>thats why every single thread I seethe about the fact that the outfits in these games are not up to my coomer standardsNot beating the allegations anytime soon there tourist
>>746142527Their colour scheme is cool, its just the individual armor sets, especially their helmets, often look very silly. Especially this little faggot.
>>746142548What do you mean? I often shit on fans of the shitty fanfiction troonlation for the keseki series. That one is so bad they completely changed Estelle's entire personality in FC and SC.
I’m curious, how come we haven’t heard anything from Takahashi lately? His last comments were in the XC3 Aionios Moments art book and since then he said nothing at all for X DE, and still nothing for the Switch 2 versions of X, 1 and 2 so far, no comments or interviews
what does the sw2 upgrade change? i own xb2 but never finished it because i didn't like the gameplay muchbut i do want to fuck the welsh catgirlso maybe it's worth revisiting
>>746142572>look I like 3 and genesis for reasons completely unrelated to my agenda that's why I keep making excuses for what's a blatant DEI takeover of a series
>>746142765Most likely: because hes busy working on the gameLess likely: too busy fathering even more children
>>746141942I wasn't talking about the character designs, to give just one example the rage mechanic was stripped completely bare from what it was in 2 where it did all sorts of crazy shit to change up the flow of the battle like element changing, spikes, evasion/block rate dramatically increased. In 3 it is completely stripped back to its barebones and virtually every single enemies enrage status is either do more damage or do both more damage and take more damage shit is completely uninspired.
>>746142787I like every game in the series anon. I have all of them physically, including both the wii u and switch versions of X. I would get the wii verison of xenoblade 1 but I dont really have a reason to play it when the remake exists.Your shitty attempt at deflection makes so little sense that its VERY SILLY.
>>746141597Two wrongs don't make a right.If you compromise on your manners in things that would be this easy to handle, I don't want to know when even small pressure is added on serious issue.I did say I disagree with him and for a reason, because I did read through it. But the way you write frustrates me a fuckton and makes it impossible in the future to discuss anything when people like you are the most vocal. Man covered in shit thing. You made the whole thing about horniness and imply that people who like XBC2 over other entries must just do because they are horny and Smash Ultimate. Now that is the baseline for anyone else trying to discuss the topic, and any criticism towards XBC2 is going to be seen through the lens of >>746139071 >>746139420Mistakes happen. Doubling down is voluntary. And tripling down is a clear choice.But as you see yourself to be absolutely right and consider ridicule as a legimitate tactic for conversation and are proud of it, it gets impossible for us to even continue.To the point you insist I must be samefagging as that idiot, because you feel a need to quadruple down.I rather not use harsh words, but I genuinely dislike you and it is hard for me to want you to have a good day or night. Ill just go because you refuse to even consider that someone giving you any criticism or feedback could be anyone else but that idiot. So seeing you call me same shit you did him is something I rather not read.Sorry for at least trying to be polite and genuine, the worst mistake you can make on this board. I should just shitfling like everyone else and maybe spam idpol shit, AIslop and shitter threads.Have a bad oneBtw X is the best entry.
>>746141465If 2 and 3's positions were switched and 3 came out first under the name 2, and 2 being 3..would the world on Noah/Mio be the highest selling game? I think so.
>>746135680???But the Trump supporters are the ones that support fanservice in games.
>>746142919what makes little sense is having an ugly female MC out of nowhere, at least for you retards who still deny 3 was the first signs of DEI cancer
>>746142817>fathering even more childrenHe's like 60 and went through years/decades of constant stress. No way he isn't shooting blanks.
>>746142817I like Takahashi’s comment here but nobody seems to post or even acknowledge it…. and this was from 2018
>>746142967>hey are horny and Smash UltimateNo, I did not mean to imply that is the only reason that people would like 2 and I apologize if that was the impression I gave. I was specifically talking to and about the schizo who comes to these threads who complain about every game after 2 and how there is a woke agenda to remove the things he likes because he wants to coom to them. It could be multiple people even. These people are tourists and do not care about Xenoblade as a series. There is nothing wrong with liking 2. I love it a lot, like I said I have it physically along with Torna.Perhaps you are right that I should not let the shitty behaviour of the coomers drag me down into behaving like such a stupid shitposter myself. I apologize for my behavior and will now cease acting like a fool.
>>746142765The actual last time he said something was for the 2024 recruitment ad they put out.Takahashi is a naturally shy dude and rarely speaks in public in general. Doesn't have any social media, he mostly talks in interviews which he also doesn't do often. I also remember when the last time he received an award his hands were shaking like pudding.
>>746142356>Not a pair of bare legs in sightThe later Xenosaga games would get hit with the same censored and woke accusations if they came out today
>>746143045I mean 3 inherently is a less mechanically frustrating game and the story is serious from the jump and more in-lined with XB1. If it had launched as a first-year game next to BOTW, we would be a part of a very different Xeno community right now.
>>746143204yeah those are totally the same as the anime girl equivalent of aloy
>>746143176I would at least have liked to hear about Chapter 13 and if that had always been the plan for X’s story; or an introduction for Genesis like he did with 3, or any kind of comment about MOMO…
>>746142967>>746143175Please come back. I feel bad, you were right, Im in the wrong, I let a coomer turn me into a bad poster and now I feel bad. You were right that X is the best game btw.
>>746143045No 2 was rushed out to release by a undermanned Monolith, if 2 had the same dev team and amount of time for polish that 3 got and 3 released in 2's circumstances it wouldn't even be an argument.
>>746143656>anime girl equivalent of aloyYou might need glasses anon
>>746143656Please have a cute voice in the English dub.
>>746143658The actual prelude for Genesis in XDE is Neilnail and her quests
>>746142780it gives you a loli with a transparent womb
>>746143747she is completely desexed which isn't normal, she's like any of those ugly western game girls in anime style
>>746144207when you say desexed, do you mean she has no female secondary sexual characteristics, or what do you mean.>hose ugly western game girls in anime styleShe looks nothing like those I really think you need glasses anon.
>>746144181droppednot interested in them adding more bullshit to the gachapon
>>746144367holy homo batman bazzinga!!!
>>746144446>if u don't like gambling machines u are gay!!!ok nigger, good luck on ur rolls :^)
>>746144297>no female secondary sexual characteristicspretty much yeah, she is designed to be as agender as possible because DEIshit does not want gender as a concept to exist, which is the same underlying reason for why those western girls look ugly
I've tried Xenoblade 2 twice now and it's genuinely insane how shit this game is. I love titties as much as the next guy but this entire game is like I'm playing naruto with a Xeno skin. It is fucking horrendous with terrible writing, uninteresting tropes for characters, and awful combat. Are 1 or 3 any better? X? Shit just makes me want to go play gears again
>>746144836>I love titties as much as the next guy but this entire game is like I'm playing naruto with a Xeno skin.This applies to 1 as well, hell even more than 2. 3's more like an AU GundamJust play X if you can't stand shonenshit
>>746144694Have you tried taking your anti psychotic medications recently? They might help with your delusions.
>>746108907>Where did you get these numbers?OP's ass
>>746137696what, you're mad this is now an actual vidya thread instead of another erp /trash/ pile of shit?
>>746144836>I've tried Xenoblade 2 twice now and it's genuinely insane how shit this game isWell it is the worst game in the series so that's not surprising.
>>746145000which part are you contesting exactly? because DEI provenly exists, it provenly believes gender is some kind of problematic insult to trans people (type a/b), and uglynor provenly looks like a DEI character
>>746143845But Qlu doesn’t even exist anymore if we take Chapter 13 at face value (and not that Celica or Neil seem to care either), what would it have to do with Genesis?
>>746142356
>>746145330Incredible how accurate this is.
>>746145296Genesis' codename is LegacyChinese leakNeilnail's quest randomly starts talking about castles, kings and thrones in the otherwise sci-fi game
>>746145330>>746145484>if you're a real fan you want everything to become covered and brown!what is this gaslighting, I played all games and liked both the game and the designs. is the concept that unthinkable?
>>746145654
>400 replies
>>746145852put him in genesis too, why the fuck not at this point!
>>746115443Pyrazuri carries hard . Like Ryza.
I never liked XB3 combat, it never clicked for me. I don't know what I was doing wrong but it felt slower than the previous games. Not sure if this is a common opinion. I just wanted to get it out of my system
Unironically very excited to play through 3 again come this December.
>>746143175>complain about every game after 2FR is better than 3.Even XDE chapter 13 is better than 3.Genesis would have to try hard to be worse than 3.Only FC I would say is worse than 3, congrats on beating an initially unplanned excuse to reuse a beta map.>Nooooooooo you are a coomer for disliking my mediocre gameNope. 3 was a massive disappointment in almost every area. Environmental design is a joke, combat is 95% menuing 5% chain attacks, heroes are mostly forgettable and most of their classes redundant, story is a mess: a bad copy of Logan's Run that falls apart in the last two chapters after five of them pointlessly meandering (genuine joke that some compare it to Xenogears), half the ost is ambient meme that nobody will ever remember or care about, antagonists are a wash, main characters are too samey and lack charisma.
>>746146301Chain attacks honestly ruin it and bring it to a grinding halt
My guilty pleasure is seeing yuri between Pyra and Mythra. That is all.
>>746130957I try to give a serious answer since nobody bothersShulk in smash brought a lot of smashfags to the fandom. No I don't mean newfags, I mean Smashfags. These people never played and will never play a Xeno game in their lifes. XC2 actually brought newfags who care about the franchise and wanted to learn more about it. That's why many memes since XC2 was released were tried to make the Xeno fanbases look united.
>>746146403>I started the series with 2 and im pretending to be an oldfag: the post
never played any of the blade games until last night with XDE and i gotta say that is the worst combat system i've ever encountered.>auto attack everything, can only actually attack with skills that have cooldowndidn't know i was playing a mmo
>>746146386Same >>746146403>that falls apart in the last two chapters after five of them pointlessly meandering >Chp.3-Taion gets closure and the group discovered that Joran is Mobius >Chp.4-Mio hashes out her baggage, Ethel dies, they infiltrate Keves Castle, Eunie gets over her PTSD, they discover the Queen is fake, they encounter N and then the Lost Numbers save them>Chp.5-They reach SwordsMarch, meet the Cityfolk, learn about the Ouroboros candidacy and all that shit, etc.Nigga, what? The plot moves at fucking breakneck speed and every chapter, 3 which was the slowest, dropped a new revelation. Sorry you weren't as invested in any of it.
>>746147330You could have watched a single trailer beforehand
>>746147003Nah the only pretenders are 3shitters who pretend 3 is le epic retelling of an infinitely superior story. In fact I admit the undeserved comparisons might partially fuel my dislike of 3.
>>746147447You arent fooling anyone tourist and I genuinely have to wonder why you even come to these threads. Are you that desperate for attention?
>>746147447>Nah the only pretenders are 3shitters who pretend 3 is le epic retelling of an infinitely superior story. Blame Takahashi for setting the comparisons up from the jump with names Keves and Agnus, austismo
>>746147518Keep coping that anyone who dislikes 3 must be a malicious boogeyman.>>746147572Takahashi stuck the zohar on Pyra's tits but people don't pretend 2 is a secret retelling of Xenosaga because of it.
>>746145181>actual vidya thread>is just faggots whining about XB2lol
>>746146403Also sprach Grahf!
>>746147357It is pointless meandering because everything there is to know is laid out in the first two chapters and everything between that and reaching Swrodsmarch is borderline filler where characters learn things the player already knows or easily predicts>The queen is an evil fake!I already knew that. The characters acting shocked doesn't make me more invested (in fact they look retarded trying to hold back against 'their' queen who is actively trying to murder them)>There is an evil Noah!I already knew that. The characters acting surprised doesn't make me more invested.>There are people who age like normal humans!I already knew that. The characters acting surprised doesn't make me more invested. Vandham literally told them.The biggest twist in 3 is that there are no twists. Exactly what comes to mind when I picture a Xeno game.
>>746148020which is a video game. cry me a river.
I wish I still had that list of all the shit wrong with 3. It was a mix of nitpicks and genuine problems
>>746148650cant be nearly as bad as all of the things that were wrong with 2, some of which have been fixed by the switch 2 version, but some of which can never ever be fixed.
>>746148342This is like saying you should be able to figure out everything going on in 2 if you played 1 because its super fucking obvious from the first few chapters whats going on lol. In fact there is literally not a single thing in 2 that is surprising or not completely obvious.
>>746143097Kek stupid nigger
I like all the Xenoblades. X is my favorite. I'm looking forward to 3DE and Genesis and I'm having fun replaying 2 right now (just got to Leftheria).
Xenoblade 1? Strong beginning, weak middle, Strong ending (best final boss of the series).Xenoblade 2? Weak beginning, mediocre middle, very strong ending.Xenoblade 3? Mediocre beginning, strong middle, weak ending.X? Kek You cannot refute this.
>>746148342This is like complaining about Prison Island being a filler due to the obviousness of the Face Nemesis "twist" after the cutscene in the Bionis Interior, same with the "Zanza is evil" reveal. You're not exactly smarter than the game for putting 2&2 together with the information it provided you.
I really hope the cast from 3 never comes back.
>>746106881>>746107363Look, stop living this lie. Next time you make XB2 thread, just open it with the kimono pic.
>>746148916Very disingenuous post. 1, 2 and even the little plot in X space story revelations appropriately throughout the course of the game to keep the player's engagement.Fiora being alive is treated as a proper revelation because it is in fact new information to the player. You could say there are hints to it beforehand, but that's all. Just good foreshadowing.Same thing for everyone in X being in artificial bodies or Malos being an aegis.Meanwhile in 3 it's like... the game wants to treat the characters learning they are reborn after dying as this big reveal even though we were literally shown that in chapter 1. It's so bizarre. It's like the characters' reaction to the already known info is supposed to carry the whole thing. I don't care.
>>746149127>X? KekX: weak story, amazing sidequests, god tier exploration
>>746113000>As soon as you get ghost walker there is no reason to use any other ranged weapon>As soon as you get mythra there is no reason to use any other bladeHow about you have fun and shakeup your team comp while playing?
>>746148640You really have very low standards for what qualifies as a proper vidya thread.
>>746149526>it is in fact new information to the player.are you... retarded? we see her alive way before shulk.
>>746149310The face nemesis twist is only obvious in retrospect, and the fact that fags treat is so sacrosanctly 16 years later by still using the word seven is proof that it works on most people.But in 3 the game straight up just tells you or shows you almost everything there is to it very early. You literally see people being reborn after dying in battle in the very first chapter. It's ridiculous.
>>746149526>The twist is good when the characters in the story know the plot and lore but withhold the information from the player for ??? reasons, usually because the time isn't right.>The twist is bad when the audience is aware of the story details but the characters aren't omniscient and organically learn about the stuff the player already knows. Which doesn't make it a fucking twist in the first placeMfw>even the little plot in X space story revelations appropriately throughout the course of the game to keep the player's engagement.Fiora being alive is treated as a proper revelation because it is in fact new information to the player. (you)
>>746150039The player only sees a mystery person being introduced in a face mechon dozens of hours after her death and she barely speaks before the reveal. Like I said it's very different from 3 straight up showing you things. Evil Noah is seen in plain sight from the beginning. The cycle of rebirth is seen in plain sight from the beginning. Old people are shown, the queens obeying the consuls is shown. Why is any of this treated like a reveal, like the player hasn't been aware of it the whole time.
>>746150325>she barely speaks before the reveal.Ok, but again, you have to be retarded to not realize this is fiora when its the same voice actor. Stop posting holy shit dude you have to be one of the most retarded people on this website.
>>746150398You can keep repeating "you would have to be retarded to not realize" all you want but the fact of the matter is that the twist worked on most people. My examples from 3 cannot even be called twists because again, the game literally just shows you. Not a single soul reached chapter 4 without realizing there was an evil Noah or that people are reborn... because the game literally tells them.
>>746150541>wist worked on most people.>hes admitting to being retarded and not realizing it was fiora even though it was her voice
How ironic that 3fags are now tearing down all the other games. Everything they say about 2fags is pure projection
>>746150645>gets so completely btfo he stops replying and has to talk to himself instead
>>746150591I'll put it another way, if 1 did the Fiora thing the way 3 does things, Fiora without wearing any helmet or anything that covers her head would be shown being inserted into a robot immediately after Shulk leaves Colony 9 and she would appear in a dozen cutscenes afterwards openly talking and showing her face.
You retards are still arguing with the baiting schizos?
>>746150829The fact that people die and are reborn is not supposed to be a twist for the audience. Do you know what dramatic irony is? Apparently you dont, you should look into it.
>>746150072>and the fact that fags treat is so sacrosanctly 16 years later by still using the word seven is proof that it works on most people.And for the exact opposite reason people can openly show N because as just mentioned N shows up multiple times in the first 3 chapters alone. First he's viewed from behind, then in silhouette and then a full face reveal by the third time. Even M pops up at the start of chapter 2 but looks distinct enough to not be immediately related to Mio and it's only for a few secs so by the time it's actually revealed hours later might be surprised by it.Compared to the XB1 explicitly showing the creation of a humanoid mechon and then flash-fowarding to the Prison Island scene multiple times with the visions and lingering on someone in Nemesis' cockpit before the player even hears the name Prison Island.
>>746150905There is no point to this dramatic irony though. The story doesn't benefit from showing this info to the player too early. You are not thinking "oh man if only these fools knew! Things would be so different!". No, things would play out exactly the same.
>>746151149>No, things would play out exactly the same.>things would play out entirely the same if they all knew they were going to die and be reborn and that Noah is N and Mio is M and that they have been trapped in a viscious cycle even though this is a direct revelation that leads to them breaking the cycle
>>746151229What would change if they learned this info from Vandham instead? They would still go to swordsmarch and they would still plan on defeating moebius. It is pointless to separate the player pov from the characters'.
>>746151502>What would change if they learned this info from Vandham instead?every fucking scene of the journey would be different. this is your last pity you
>>746151679You are just low IQ. Effective dramatic irony is showing the audience that Juliet is sleeping and not dead, so that when Romeo kills himself like a fool it causes an emotional reaction from the audience. What purpose does this so-called dramatic irony serve? Oh wow if only they had known they would have... um hurried to swordsmarch faster! They would have let Ethel and Cammuravi kill each other (no they wouldn't) No seriously, what? Why even show this piece of info so early instead of hiding it so it can actually serve as a twist?
>>746143656I am pretty sure everyone is getting a skintight bodysuit in this game after the introduction, just based on the dragon riding character and the new outfits for Hikari and Pyra
>>746150398>>746150591You don't actually hear Fiora's voice. You hear Meyneth's. You are a larper.
>>746106881How do you cope with the fact that you'll never possess all the anime lewds in the world no matter what? There are just too many!

>>746153783>Violently complained >Violently PFFFT, who are you kidding? The complain part is right, because that's all these faggots do is complain incessantly but we've already established that the Xenoblade fanbase is a bunch of little punk ass bitches.Xenosagafags at least had the balls to sent death threats to Soraya Saga after blaming her for Ep.2, notice how they got an actual "bad" game and made their grievances known. Really proves that 3-haters ain't real, they're not the culture warriors that will *save* they'll simply take the shit given to them. Probably gonna buy Genesis on release, bunch of ERP-loving pansies.
