>>570333895>>570334095>*Welsh cat chest intensifies*
>>570333550she doesn't have a talent art and most of her arts are healing, where you don't really need them in the game>>570333409it's just because of the pointy ears, we don't have much to go on with (i believe it too though)
>>570334021>Eclair "Lightning" Farron>protagonist of Final Fantasy 13>not anime... Trolling is getting more and more abstract, and I don't like it.
What do we think about the new Reyn/Lanz
>>570334113please stop giving me a hope...............
>>570334005Still wondering what his core crystal tastes like
Kiss elves. Gently caress elf ears. Lightly tease elves so the make adorable pouty faces. Delicately hold elf hands. Cuddle with elves.
>>570334306imo, from my impression the blonde guy seems too cool-headed for Reyn/Lanz archetype but we'll see
>>570334306
>>570334402Raping a blind elf
Give me your most schizo theory right now
>>570334306Wow it didn't occur to me that he could be the dumb jock of the group. I'll have to keep my eye on him...
>>570334402Cain's cumdump
>>570334617Sorry
>>570334306If they go as predictable as possible, this guy is the block tank, 5head girl is the dodge tank, Blueabi is every party's healer, Billy kid has debuffs or auto cancel shit, Cain hits super hard and breaks a lot, and Eleanor gets the special snowflake stuff
>water, fire, wind>no earthWhat are they hiding?
>>570334840>Billy kid has debuffs or auto cancel shitif he has debuffs i hope they are not as shit as xb3
>>570334587Genesis will be a thinly-veiled(or even straight-up explicit) retelling of Xenogears. I don't mean like 3 was, I mean the whole thing with a ship crashing and Deus and all that. WW2 will show up at the end and they'll determine that they need to go to the reformed Earth where literally every Xeno character that's ever existed(or an expy of them) will meet up for some kind of final showdown. Not saying I'll like it, but that's what FR/XDE seemed to be building up to.
>>570334939uh oh
Looking at the screenshots Nintendo gave out, either these are from a new build or Youtube's compression, but the game looks alot better.
>>570334939There's an earth element though
>>570334942like Sharla but actually Riki
>>570330856Doesn't this nigga look like Azurda's little flying rat form?
>>570335076Link?
>>570335213Meant for >>570335058
>>570335213Getting a remake
>>570334587uhnn I have a lot:>Xenoblade Genesis set in the same universe like Klaus saga but just set in different star system>Anshar is part of Samaarians Project/Experiment>all Anshar' races are artificial human/homunculi made by Samaar>The antagonist are Coalition Government>the human in this universe (not X's) found Anshar's colony and wish to colonize it in hope to get a piece of Samaar's technology>the fallen god are AI/ some sort of Deus-like entity to fulfill the mission by Samaarians>Anima are Samaar's technology based on Conduit/Zohar>the main conflict will be Human vs Artificial Humanor it could be>Samaarian is the true antagonist that watching shit unfold for their Conduit/Ghost shenanigan purpose>we will learn more about Conduit/Zohar in this entry
>>570334113I think its just a a swappable weapon. I am pretty sure Eleanor has a different sword when fighting the chinese sexy girl
>>570335076Thats the white haired elf girl, who we are explicitly shown multiple times uses fire. Thats a orange fire element lil bro
>>570335164Azurda was a blade turned titan so it can't be the same thing, but maybe dragons here work like Ridley
One time I fucked a saamarian woman, lemme tell you something, once you have a taste of saamarian pussy you can never go back
>XBG music is being composed Manami Kiyota, Mariam Abounnasr, ANÚNA, with Yasunori Mitsuda as the leadAre you fellas happy with this team?A bit of a shame that ACE and Kenji Hiramatsu aren't present this time, but my favourite has always been Manami Kiyota so I know we're still in for something good. Also looking forward to Mariam possibly having a bigger role, her compositions in FR were fucking top tier.
>>570334306He seems more chill over-all. Maybe they will subvert the usual party tropes and have him as the healer?>>570334939Fire -> Attacker.Water -> Tank (liquid for HP, gaz for evasion, ice for Block)Wind -> Healer
>>570335058Was I the only retard who thought>Oh shit! It's Colony 9!when they launched the trailer?
>>570335430>Azurda was a blade turned titanThat's every titan in 2, it's the natural evolution of a blade
boooooo no noponbooriing
>>570335621>t. nopon
>>570335578>XenoProtagonists usually have swords with a special decoration on the guard.>Eleanor has hers on the pommel
>>570335506They get the benefit of the doubt, but if there were any two composers I wanted them to keep if they had to lose the rest, it was ACE and Hiramatsu.
I fucking hate elves dude I hate how nips are obsessed over this shitty race
>>570335570probably, yeah
>>570335621Nopon? I only see a potato.
>>570335661yes, and ya got a problem with that, meh?
>>570335786you guys are creepy otakus, please fuck off
>>570334306Being voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya makes me think he will be absolutely nothing like them. His physique is also not quite as imposing even if he's the biggest of the group.
>>570335285https://www.rpgsite.net/news/20629-xenoblade-genesis-nintendo-switch-2-exclusive-2027-release
>>570335621They'll reveal the elves ate them to extinction
Chances of 'tendo making a snitch 2 xenoblade 2 genesis edition?
>>570335593Not every titan had a womb, so did those without not birth blades? or were those blades just fated to never become titans? Azurda made it sound like returning back to his original birth place was an important part of it.
>>570335058Hold the fucking fuck up, is that a motherfucking coliseum? Then the leaks were real and the plot didn't change.The whole school shlick is 9999% a red herring only relevant for the first chapter.
>>570335213He come to town
Mythra My Beloved
>>570335864PS2 buttons
>>570334174a drastic improvement
>>570336110It got repurposed. The leaks were wrong you fucking schizo. Does that look like a slave market town to you?
>>570336073Type your post again but in proper english this time around
So think we'll see Savorites in this game?
>>570334402>>570334402Sometime I think she looks kinda like an older Fiona.
remember the fucking retards that wanted a xenoblade 2 remake? LMAO Also the musou slop
>>570336240>Does that look like a slave market town to youActually yes
>>570336240it looks like that nier replicant town

>>570335736>A fellow Hiramatsu enthusiastBased anon. What's some of your favourite track of his?Eagus wilderness, both day/night is criminally underrated in my opinion.
the niggas at monolithsoftware really love making this kind of rib-lile structures don't they?
>>570336485Looks like a mouth.
>>570336485It's not a real xenoblade game without it desu senpai onions
>>570336485the pronounced black outlines really make it look like metaphor refantazio
im watching some trailer reactions because i am a parasocial fuck and why does every single basedface scream like a fucking autistic moron?
Do you think Genesis will have an equivalent to pic related?
>>570334174>>570336209We can go further.
>>570336819hopefully, the mio diaries were kino
>>570336819Yes, but only in the broad sense that every XB protag has an "occupation" that defines them and often ties into gameplay in some way. Shulk = scientist/engineer, Rex = salvager, Noah/Mio = Offseer.
>>570336472There's the obvious "every game's version of You Will Know Our Names/Engage the Enemy," but everyone loves those. The False Queens is my personal favourite song from 3, but it flew under everyone's radar because they were so focused on Moebius Battle.
Medievalsissies... we just can't win against the RomanCHADS...
>>570336763>DD2 DLC>Xenoblade 1-3 upgrades>Xenoblade Genesis>Deltarune Chapter 5Not gonna lie, not afraid to admit, and not ashmed. I onions faced pretty hard that day.
What if the slave plot isn't actually that serious? Like that one part of DQXI
i miss mee-a-bee anon...
>>570337090these mafakas really be living in the past huh
>>570334306To me it looks like he's going to be the elite student that others look up to, like Akihiko from P3.
>>570337209It will probably just be an arc/chapter. Cain participates in the Arena, Eleanor figures out how to now function with being blind and then ends up participating in the arena herself.The question kind of is will the rest of the party be with them or will this be purely a Cain/Eleanor chapter.
Do you think Takahashi overgrew his NTR phase? Are we finally safe?
Actually, assuming the thing about becoming slaves/gladiators is true, I wonder exactly what the circumstances surrounding that are? The trailer seems to imply that the Vesselai are a relatively privileged class, possibly fulfilling some sort of religious function. How could they end up as slaves? Only thing that comes to mind is if they do something that gets them branded as heretics. Like, we know from "Keiin"'s narration that Vesselai are expected to kill, so maybe one or all of them are required to kill some seemingly innocent person/group and refuse?
>>570337432I'm not sure how they'll top cucking yourself but maybe they can find a way
>>570337432>shoujoblade>expecting some straightforward romance
>>570337485They did show a war. Maybe their side loses and all the vesselai get persecuted
>>570337485they go into the spaceship that's right outside of the school
>>570337597Why are all Xenos about war?
>>570334587My take is that Anshar is an abandoned Samaar experimental facility to test what happens when Samaarians are exposed to ether/anima and how to gain the ability to use it. All this studied and aided by the anima crystone, but all this was hijacked by totally not Dues that arrived when the spaceship crashed into the facility and is now trying to repair itself by transforming powerful anima vesselai into "suns".
>>570337485They either lose an invasion or they get betrayed by someone from the school
>>570337485Koizumi's exact words are that the trailer is showing the prologue and in the prologue we already see Eleanor and Cain having to fight against real bad guys, and Eleanor in particular getting injured at some pointThe JP twitter account says that while people live relatively well, the different nations of the world are constantly in conflictThe most simple explanation would be that their nation gets attacked by another and their Vesselai academy gets shit onAlso the town with the colosseum seems to be in a different continent from where the academy is
>>570334408I'm glad I'm not the only one.
>>570337397>>570334617Is he really named Cain? it's not a running joke from this general? What the fuck is Takahashi cooking bros
xenoblade game but with dark souls combat hehe
>>570337090Can't wait for the lore dump on all the war factions
>>570337908The leak refers to him as Keiin, but reading it aloud makes it sound like Cain. The leak has Eleanor's name wrong so his name is probably something else, but for discussion sake it's a easier way to refer to him.
>>570337908it's the name we use since we don't have anything else aside from the leak (which as far as we can 100% confirm the names are wrong lmao)>>570337943expedition 33 better
>>570336295Maybe if there were some on the Philadelphia class that crashed
>>570337908The leak which was too right to be just coincidence, but also wrong enough that it can't be taken completely at face value, lists his name as "Keiin." The most straightforward translation would be "Cain," but some people have speculated that it might be intended as "Kei-Ying," father of Wong Fei-Hung, aka the guy Fei Fong Wong from Xenogears was supposed to be named after. The leak also gave Eleanor's name as "Eliza," but both can be shortened to "Elly," another Xenogears reference. Also the "spaceship" everyone keeps talking about is speculated to be yet another Gears reference. Basically, this game appears to have Gears references out the wazoo.
>>570337729War, is le bad.
>>570338113expedition 33 combat is just mario and luigi rpg, sekiro for paraplegics, that game is carried by the story, characters and music, the combat is mediocre af
>>570321679Bro thinks he part of the teamDude just wanted to see sex for fun
>>570337810>>570337813I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking it, but I feel like the way the Vesselai are presented in the trailer makes it seem like you would either straight-up kill an opposing nation's Vesselai at the earliest opportunity, or otherwise try to somehow forcibly conscript them. Tossing them into an arena for amusement or using them for petty labor seems weird.
>>570334402Why are all the artists drawing her flat? She has fairly pronounced breasts.
>>570339064Eleanor talks about the honor of her weapon. The vanquished being dishonored by being defeated in the arena would fit. Like, in Xenogears Fei gets thrown into an arena when he's picked up, too. Maybe it's for similar purposes - In Fei's case it was for the sake of observation and study.
Reminder that you can play as your favorite non-main character blades in Merc Missions.

>>570340296It's cool, anon! She's doing the iajutsu thing... with a rapier. S-shut up, it's cool!
>>570340296>he doesn't know about the strongest swordfighting style
>>570339064This scenario only applies to Kaiin and the reason why is because he's been a gladiator from childhood even before training as a Vesselai as per the leak. Eleanor is only recently a slave.The leak does seem to be fundamentally outdated.
>>570340459>because he's been a gladiator from childhoodIt doesn't say this.
>>570340580>trained with the sword from a young agehuh, fancy that

>>570341154I refuse to marry this backwater noble.

>>570341664That's a male fetish. Shoujo femcs get raped by ikemen only
>>570340296That's how you reload a sword
I thought Genesis was influenced by 3 but I think Legacy was a thing since 2019.So what if it was Genesis who influenced 3?
>>570340296>>570340456Eleanor will finally give us the Vergil function in Smash
>>570335736What specific songs are ACE and Hiramatsu responsible for?
>>570340296This sort of thing is what convinces me the blindness thing is true. They are going full Zatoichi with her.
>crystones record memoriesWhat if the cast dies and their stones get passed down to the gladiator/blind girl
What if Eleanor is futanari?
>>570342210all of the songs in the series that sound like guar plains or time to fight or you will know our names as well as all of the shitty area music in 3 that you can't remember
>>570342210Engage the enemy, you will know our name, counterattack, and others
>>570342359they're literally the same characters, please stop coming up with retarded hypothesis

>>570338782and you expect souls combat to work on a nintendo console where the median user is 5 years old and every time a new souls releases there is drama about videogame difficulty?
>>570343423Both of them are so hot
>>570343629Mariam has a lot to compensate for here. I mean I liked the Prison Island theme in FR but damn
>>570341895what does ikemen mean
>>570343731dark souls 1 is on switch, elden ring too and the blood dusk is coming soon, are you actually retarded or just pretending to be besides a 12 year old (xenoblade is pegi 12) could engage with souls combat easily, only people really bad at vidya complain about it
>>570344034Hope is still my wife though
>>570344363Your wife is my girlfriend
>>570344324>only people really bad at vidya complain about itbecause xenoblade players are so good at vidya and not just using all of the arts at the same time, right?
>>570343629ACE is no great loss, I always felt like their songs were by far the weakest in each soundtrack to be honest.But I'm going to really miss Hiramatsu. Uraya's theme is a top 5 Xenoblade track for me, the first time I heard it was literally pure magic, I'd never felt like that playing a game since I was a kid, playing Kingdom Hearts on PS2 with my broken controller.
>>570344482what's the fucking deal with you, first you ask for expedition 33 combat which requires precise timing and now you're saying that it'd be bad, pick a side, retard
>>570344493>Gaur Plain, Fogbeasts, Drifting Soul, Moebius Battle>no great lossHiramatsu is amazing but you've lost your damn mind
>>570344675yes
>>570344770retard
>>570344715All overrated tracks.Gaur Plain - Babies first Xenoblade OST, overplayed to death, and I'm so sick of it after all these years.Fogbeasts - Had to look it up, unmemorable.Drifting Soul - Worst vocal track in the entire series.Moebius Battle - Sounds like total shit and very grating, I usually mute my headphones when fighting Moebius, it's trying way too hard.
>>570344846bitch
>>570344846moron
>>570345012saar
>>570344925Back in my day people tried to make their bait believable
>>570345124cocksucker
>>570345141I'm not baiting. If it makes you feel any better I love A Tragic Decision.
>>570345197SAAR
these sorts of fantano wannabes >>570344925 were the ones screaming that the third games soundtrack was mid btw
Genesis boys are cute.I think they really wanted to bait female players, we have 3 ikemen boys so far.I wonder if the elf boy in the bottom-right corner is recruitable
>>570345412that's just your average 2fag
>>570345412Bro, what the fuck are you talking about, I love the soundtrack to 3, it's probably my overall favorite in the series. I love all the OSTs. Stop trying to force your agenda.
I also don't like Drifting Soul. Sometimes you just don't like popular songs
>>570344034second Liesel enjoyer I've ever seen, first being myself
i love Noah and N and 3's dlc prison island
>>570345439There's a chance he's one of whatever this game's equivalent of BLADEs/Rare Blades/Heroes is, but I'd bet he's more of a Garvel type. Five bucks says he's our party member's brother.
>>570345578post ur favorite 3 track, lemme rate ur taste
>>570345412>>570345507Make it less obvious
>>570345439that bottom elf boy looks like Kaiser (Blue Lock) ngl
Why did Drifting Souls become Nia's theme anyway?
>>570344715and who can forget their other iconic tracks like Yzana Plains, Maktha Wildwood, Erythia Sea and Rae-Bel Tableland
>>570345578You're either baiting for (You)s and shouldn't be taken seriously, or a shit-taste contrarian who shouldn't be taken seriously. Either way, you can fuck off.
>>570340030Retard.
>>570345720I'll do you better than that, I'll give you my top five.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nks3v6WLryYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9PSKWIyLighttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZcgGHe8ffMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqfPCIXg4y4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU0ks0EqSec>>570345975So let me get this straight, if you dissent from popular opinion because of subjective opinion, you don't want to hear about it? Why? Stop being so insecure. I respect whatever songs you like. It's fine to have a difference in opinion.
*ahem* truly atmospheric, soulful, mature, kino, unique https://youtu.be/f289yR5uykg
>>570343629Basically all the songs I like the soundtracks for.
>>570346325very nice taste, this one >>570346353 is missing tho
>>570340030>Fiora for Xenoblade 3Dumb lorelet.
Remember when Xenoblade 3 didn't win the best OST on TGA? I can't even remember which game won this time.
>>570346353>that saxophone
>>570345974Alfeto Valley, Millick Meadows, Eagus Wilderness, and Ribbi Flats get a pass now, do they?3 tried to have area themes that were less bombastic and more ambient. Something that would complement the feeling of the area instead of making you want to stop and just listen to the music. But while Kiyota is great at those, ACE and Hiramatsu can't make it work while living up to the Xenoblade standard.If you have a problem with that, the fault lies with Mitsuda for that direction, not ACE and Hiramatsu. And certainly not ACE alone because you want to cherry-pick to make ACE look bad, because you're a dumbass who thinks that's necessary to make Hiramatsu look good.
I suspect that the school outfit is not her true design.If it was I think Nintendo would release her character art
>>570345439The only good face design is cains
>>570346557Who cares, 3 sucks
>>570346503Thanks, and yes I agree, >>570346353 it's beautiful.
>>570345439I hope this game focus on the main party and drops the heroes system.
>>570346557TGA don't matter. Also, do you really expect anyone to not only listen to the entire ost of all the games, but also analyze them in context? iirc GOW won that year the music thing, which is a way more popular game>>570346694and 2nd guy is fine too
>>570344275Hot guy
>>570346557elden ring, unbeatable by any other contender pretty much >>570346737obsessed
>>570345974I liked all of those
>>570345439>I think they really wanted to bait female playersI feel vindicated, because I always knew each Xenoblade entries cater to specific audiences>XB1 cater to shonenfag>XB2 cater to waifufag>XB3 cater to general audience/shipperI predicted years ago that the next XB game would try to appeal more to female audiences, because Monolith soft has always been experimental.They were definitely testing the waters with XB3, and Genesis seems even more geared toward female players, possibly otome fans or yumejoshi. That said, it could also appeal to fujoshi if they include a large cast of male characters they can ship.And Takahashi prefer pandering to women because they CARE about his romance writing (which he loved to do)
>>570347046Mad
>>570346557nvm i thought you meant the goty, i don't remember what won best ost either
>>570346557GOW Ragnarok won, which it deserved to, because it objectively had the better soundtrack. An orchestral score with such heavy Nordic and ancient Celtic influence like that had never been attempted in a AAA game and it was very unique.
>>570346694second dude is fine, just need a better angle
bro said Mad in 2026
So we just can't discuss music without every other post being engagement bait, huh?
>>570345439They look like NPC designs.
>>570346557The fact that it got even nominated was surprising. GoW winning the music category instead of XB3 should tell you all you need to know about that worthless show.>>570346737This isn't /v/ you filthy pajeet discord troon.
>>570347313Seethe, cope and dilate.
>>570346601millick meadows is good though. it's the one ACE+ handled region in the base game that isn't trying to be somber ambient music and it actually works.that's why i'm fine with ACE+ not having a major role for Genesis if they're going for a soundtrack more similar to 3's.
>>570347343I don't care. 3 still sucks. Seethe.
>>570347189it was really good and its the expected result because tga is a western awards show but come onxc3 was way better
>>570347493Nah.
>>570347493No use replying to that retard.

Why are 2fags obsessed with 3? did they really think they were gonna get another echii anime turned into a rpg like in 2? lmfao
>>570347408Millick Meadows is the best of all the stinkers. I can at least remember it off the top of my head, but that's only because it uses the same three descending notes as Gaur Plain and Gormott. But it is still one of the stinkers, and compared to its predecessors, it's easily the worst.
>>570347757Why are 3fags obsessed with 2?
>>570347189True and based.
>>570347095pandering to fujos is very easy.just have 2 males have something going on & they fold immediately.they will ship ANYTHING as long two men breathe next to each other.a lot of XB3 fujos loves to ship the male heroes with the NPC (Kite x Zeon) or with the main cast ( Noah x Crys)
>>570347964>a lot of XB3 fujosAll 5 of them?
since you guys want to talk about OST, here's my top 3 for every game.

The only ones obsessed with 2 are 2fags tho, they're never gonna get over it
>>570348017for what its worth i know two women who started with xb3 and thats still their fav game in the series
>>570348217>seething so hard he won't reply directly to the postYou always know someone is actually mad when they start doing this shit. Kek
>>570347757NoA dropped Chronicles from the localized name and went with Genesis, made a statement saying that this is a new separate series from the original Xenoblade games, Monolith Soft dropped 2+3's character designer, let VAs from 2 and 3 confirm that they are not reprising their roles, and released a trailer for a game with zero hints that it shares any connection at all with any of the past games.And there are still hundreds or thousands of posts about how the color purple showing up in the trailer means that it's a direct sequel to Xenoblade 2 about Malos traveling to another dimension or speculating that Eleanor's sword is secretly Pneuma and calling Takahashi a liar trying to trick them into thinking it's not a sequel to 2.They're just going to hate every single game that isn't a direct continuation of 2. Future Redeemed sedated them for a few minutes but without a Xenoblade Warriors or something they're going to have more meltdowns.
>>570344275Cool pretty boy "Prince Charming" type. Best example in Xenoblade is, funnily enough, Mòrag. Jin as portrayed in Torna the Golden Country would also fit.
>>570348291Eternal suffering or $5
>Xenoblade 2 makes you choose between Pyra and Mythea>Xenoblade 3 makes you choose long or short hairWhat moral dilemma will Genesis present?
Thanks for the (you)s 2fag
>>570348291>long and short hair fiora>long and short hair nya>long and short hair mioIf this game doesn't show Eleanora with the hair down I'll riot.
>>570348017they're not a majority but they're exists.they're dedicated enough to keep making fanart of their obscure homo xeno ships that barely make traction, so you need to lurk harder.it's like ReZero case where the fujos got overshadowed by waifufags but they're exist once you lurk deeper enough & very passionate with their shipxeno-only doujin event were hosted by gears fujoshi & has decent amount of circle btw
>>570348452>cure her blindess>Yes / No
>>570348513Xenoblade is too straight to get flooded by fujos like Fire Emblem or Persona. This new one looks more yume than fujo.
They teased Genesis in XB3. And none of you noticed!
Kill yaoifags and yurifags, it's as simple as that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfQT3FDD9y0
>>570348683Persona is just as straight as well. I don't get why fujos flock to it.
>>570348452Sex with Cain or Silverbitch
>>570348305Its insane too because 1 and 2 had pretty definitive endings. I mean even if we look at 2 as another side of the story of the ending of 1, the Conduit is gone, the Trinity Processor isn't relevant anymore since the entire source of its power is gone, the only reason it was relevant in 3 was because they happened to use some of it as the core computer for their funny origin machine thing.People keep acting like its the big important recurring power source of the series or something when it literally only has ever had power outside of funny alternate worlds due to it being the management system for the conduit, which is gone (from earth), and that power no longer exists. This was stated IN 2 as well. So the constant talk about how everything ever has to be connected to Logos or Pneuma because the color matches or something is just so fucking tiresome and completely eclipses all other attempts at theories or critical thinking in general.
>>570348847Why are the yurifags catching strays? Nobody's talking about yuri.
>>570348683>Xenoblade is too straightnta but you don't know how fujos brain works. they dont give a shit about that, hell they even ship two married man with a wife together.picrel was drawn by prolific yaoi mangakathere's decent amount of XB2 yaoi doujinshi as well>>570348885Persona has been pandering to fujos since P1 & P2 days, they even acknowledge it (that's why they made a gay option in P2)modern persona males is definition of fujobait
>>570348873I do wonder where this music will play in the actual game. Just sorta your standard important cutscene music?
>>570348885The 3 mc has a sus relationship with the death guy, I forgot his name, yosuka was originally gay and romanceable by 4 mc, and yusuke from 5 has a very effeminate look and an extravagant personality aka fujobait
>>570348885Technically it is and so was Fire Emblem until recently. The difference is that the romance is completely optional. If you ignore, pretty boys like Yosuke have more screentime with the mc than the girls. Also it loves to introduce rival/enemy characters like Akechi or Ryoji.
>>570348993Why shouldn't they, they're pretty much the same thing, and at least fujos are women, yurifags are straight up troons
>people naively think just because their series is too straight mean fujoshi won't latch onto their seriesKEKyou must be a newfag if you unironically believe this
>>570349128This. Persona is openly fujobait.
>>570348683I feel like a lot of people tend to just conflate yumes and fujos as the same thing even though they're quite different. Both are obsessive and willing to spend far far more money than even the most degenerate whale of a waifufag, so maybe thats why they often get grouped together.
>>570349128True enough. Fujos ship Sherlock Holmes with Mikotoba from GAA, despite the latter being a middle-aged man with a daughter.
>>570349128There's this one artist that draws the most delicious tomboys of all time that then turned their talents to nothing but Rex and Zeke porn and I've been seething ever since.
>>570349754>>570349797Lmfao
>>570339929It's funny that no one brought up the Xenosaga Kos-Mos and T-Elos action game announced alongside Xenokarts and XB4
>>570349865Because that didn't happen? Am I missing a joke here?
>>570349797I knew the artist, it's Sakaki Tomomi right?they draw the most delicious xeno girls and then draw Rex x Zeke yaoi porn at the same time kek
>>570350185Rare blades are playable in merc missions
>>570349797unrelated but I remember once following artist who draw senran kagura lewd & hentai only to find out they also draw graphic yaoi porn on their account. not sure how to feel about it, like I love their senran kagura lewd but I dont want to see their yaoi porn art
>>570349412XB3 was pretty yume, too. Noah looks less generic and more attractive than your average JRPG protagonist, while Mio's beauty is very "grounded" too which I guess makes it easy for women to relate to her. I've seen a couple of let's plays of the game by women and they're in love with N.
>>570350240Someone should nuke bifags from the face of the earth
>>570342778>they're literally the same characters, please stop coming up with retarded hypothesis
>>570350891Xenogears at home
>>570350891they're not gonna pull off this one again, retard-kun
>>570350240Yeah that's the guy. I hope the homofaggots appreciate what they got because I'm still bitter.
>>570351008We do
>>570350991yep.there's no way that takahashi would rehash ideas or concepts from older games.
Basically little noah, little eunie, little larzs and little joran were living in the world after the end of xenoblade 1? did the world of xenoblade 1 turn into something akin to a normal earth (i mostly mean the shape) as far as we know?
>>570350991I thought the leak was fake because I thought there was no way they were going to do a Fei expy for the third time in a row...
>>570351265yes, yes
>>570349412>people tend to just conflate yumes and fujoswhats the differencei dont know any of these weeb terms
>>570350337Oh, that's what you mean. Yeah, that is neat!... This is the closest thing we'll likely ever get to a Xenosaga remake, and I kinda hate that.
>Hackahashi isn't going to do his Contact/Antitype shit againWhat is this copium?
>>570351445Sad they had to cut the little mio side of things
>>570351265
>>570350240I'm not ashamed to admit that I fapped to their Rex & Zeke yaoi doujinshi back in 2018~2019 I'd also like their Vyse porn too
>>570351631They didn't have the rating to show little Mio getting BARBED on the streets of Gormott
>>570351505Fujos ship and thirst after gay fictional pairings involving two men. Yumes are het and more self insert-ish. Sometimes they overlap but they don't tend to get along
>>570351694That's crazy, it's been a long time since I played 2, at the end of it did the sea of clouds fade and people started to live in the normal earth surface again?
>>570351569Also the first time in a decade Kos-Mos has been playable since PxZ2
>>570351694NO WAYIT SHOWS THE MOEBIUS INFINITYTHEN THEY FUSE AND IT SHOWS THE OUROBOROS CIRCLEOH MY SCIENCE
>>570351505Yumes self insert and ship themselves with attractive male characters.Fujos ship attractive male characters with each other.
>make a general about a series with some of the hottest videogame girls of all time>talk about gay porn
>>570351631i hope that they'll add a bit to 3:notDE's ending with her in it
Any serious theories who is the new hero in Xenoblade 3?
>>570352047It really makes you think
Xeno is supposed to be straight media but from what I see in social media and here, there's a lot of gays liking this series.why is that? not complaining just curious
>>570352165nimue or mythra expy
>>570351993you're not funny, stfu
>>570351993you're funny, continue
>>570352047this just tell me fags do engage with the series & care about the series that beyond just cooming unlike waifufags
>>570351993>>570352414(you)
>>570352047Isn't Soraya a hardcore fujo?
>>570352047It's what the devs intended. Didn't soraya saga write a bart/sigurd doujin?
>>570352174Yo a Malosfag cool
>>570352239>more Rex familyI'm so tired.
>>570351989Why does Namco Bandai hate her so much? She's just a nice robot lady who wants to go an whacky adventures with her bestie/GF/mom. Give us a remaster of her game already!
>>570304245What is it about Indians and bras?
the retard who thought it was gonna be a good idea to revive the general even though the next game might take more than a year to come out should be shoot in the head the retards that'll watch and discuss the future trailers instead of playing the game as blind as possible (no pun intended) should be shoot in the head too
>>570351973Cloud sea disappeared and my guess is that all the titans that died over the ages became new land underneath the cloud sea. Some of the living ones crashed into some of the land masses and will eventually fuse with them.
I like his design a lot
>>570351505Yumes are less annoying. They're basically female waifufags.
>>570353219Alright thanks, that explains why the clouds of the xenoblade 2 world aren't super dense and prominent Also how did the people living in those titans even manage to land safely?
>>570352534>>570352496>>570352175>>570352047Gay incest is canon by word of God
>>570353368>Also how did the people living in those titans even manage to land safely?Well... who knows. To them it would probably just be a huge earthquake considering the titans move from time to time. I mean they fell into the sea, so the titan probably absorbed most of the shock.
>>570352175serious answer as homosexualI think there's something about Xeno that appeal to homos, for me the characters feels campy & fruity in a good way.also the males are great!they actually appeal to my tastes & among all JRPG, Xeno has the best males imo.the romance while not too groundbreaking but I'd appreciate they have a substance & depth.I love Xenosaga & Xenogears romancesI think gays in general like xeno males because it suits their preferences. not too fujobait but also not too ugly, it just hit the right note.
>>570352641it makes sense. fully voicing the camp scenes in 3 will be an easy sell for xenoblade fans and adding mythra's expy child to the game will get xenoblade 2 fans to buy it too.
>>570352239>mythra expyNever ever.
>>570353573
>>570352889go back to /v/
>>570352239Glimmer is a Mythra expy
>>570353645What do you think about the new Cain guy?
I will murder someone in real life if it is Mwamba.
>>570354260Kek
>>570354080fine then they're adding a nia expy
Just pray that Eleanor is not as retarded like Ed*lgard
>>570354353Retard
>>570354378Edelcute.
>>570354384they have the character that looks like Nia with Pyra's personalitythey have the character who looks like Pyra with Mythra's personalitythat leaves the character who looks like Mythra with Nia's personalitythis is basic pattern recognition
>>570354486Retard.
>>570354378Are Fire Emblem games really good?
>>570354206He's okay I guess, probably because my type is someone like Malos, Al, & Lao.but I already see a lot homos liking him & I think he looks cute as well
>>570354486Mio doesn't have Pyra's personality. She hates the heat, is a chestlet, and isn't attracted to shotas
>>570354378One day humanity will create a game that will provide more fap material than 3H did but I don't know if human civilization is ready for that.
>>570354550Only the ones made before 2012
>>570354668it already exists, its called xenoblade genesis
>>570354550That's hard to answer. It depends of what you're into.
>>570354614future redeemed establishes that these are all physical characteristics
>>570354550old FE is good, especially Tellius saga.but nuFE (especially if they're written by Nami Komuro) is fucking dogshit. FE3H is the only decent one (but the writing still feels like trainwreck)just don't bother with Awakening, Fates, and Engage storywise because they're dogshit.
>>570354897She doesn't have Pyra's personality. Cope.
>>570354614Nothing you mentioned are personality traits
>>570310850Dimitri and male Byleth were actually female?
>>570354984You haven't even established how they're supposedly similar.
>Glimmer>looks like Pyra>has Mythra's personalityMio on the other hand doesn't have Pyra's personality.So yeah, Glimmer was there to satisfy Pythrafags. No Mythra's kid for you.
>>570354897Feel free to explain how they supposedly have the same personality. We're all waiting.
>>570355345sure here's a list of pyra's personality traits:and here's a list of mio's personality traits:as you can see it's a 1:1 match.
My uncle works at tendo and he told me that mythra's kid died at the age of 2
whenever I see the state of FE & Persona, I am so glad Xenoblade never went into self-insert or avatarfagging route.there's reason why X story is fundamentally, bad despite the lore and concept was great.
>>570355404True!
>>570355407My mother's lover works as janitor at Monolith and he told me that Mythra died after tasting her own dish
>>570355241Personality wise, Mio is closer to Pyra than to Nia.
So this is it huh, the beginning of our journey... like some kind of Xenoblade Genesis
>>570355756I also saw that tweet, anon
>>570355748Personality wise Mio is closer to Sena than Nia. It doesn't mean anything.
>>570355536I wanted Cross to die at the end but I know Xenoblade doesn't do endings like that, it was a good ending and from what I saw most people were happy with their little creation making it, so I'm not gonna ruin their fun
>>570355748>Mio is closer to PyraNot really.
>>570355851tweet? https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxT-UjoB_0eQ_T9vyxWBV20jjQiMuna-yH

>>570356094You just described every anime/JRPG heroine ever created
>>570356435NahFiora ain't soft Melia ain't kindAnd Lora is a boy

>>570356510 Anon ain't smart
>found out on /v/ that the XB1 update has Link's Awakening Vsync and it drops to 30fps whenever a single FPS dropsI don't know if it's Nintendo, Monolith, some third party outsourced studio or all of the above, but this technical incompetence cannot possibly continue uncriticized. It's almost like Monolith shines the shittier the hardware is. It's not even a free update. When's Wii U 2.

I'm confused what's being argued right now? That the characters are the same or that they are different?Characters can't be all the same and yet not alike at the same time.
>>570356816Melia wanted Eunie’s fat tits?
>>570356668He isn't wrong though.She is very direct and harsh.
>>570357075>He isn't wrongYes, (You) are.
>>570356510>>570357075samefag
you fuckers turned into /v/ again. jannies lock this thread and don't allow any more /xgg/ until next trailer thank you
>>570357114He wasent "me" but keep coping
Why are Meliafags like this?
>>570354550Three houses is fun but the monastery sections inbetween maps suck, maybe do them on your first run if you can stomach it but for your other runs dont feel ashamed to definitely skip those sections and just sleep until the next map
>>570357219You're just flat out wrong. Saying she is never kind just means you never played the game or you have horrible memory retention.
>>570356816>>570356510>>570357075>>570357219>>570357274Why are Fiorafags like this?
>>570357331I never said she's never kind.I said she's not kind.It's not her core personality trait.Mythra can be nice to. But I'd never describe her as nice
>>570357515>It's not her core personality traitNeither is it for Mio, retard.
>>570357515>It's not her core personality traitYes it is. She's kind and polite to everyone even though the universe treats her horribly.
>>570357515Why are Fiorafags like this?
>>570356931She wanted to be honest about her feelings. And some small details like Starlight Kick, which is fucking wrestling move, tell us that she used to be a brat.Without royal upbringing she really could be very similar to Eunie.But yes, I was wrong when I wrote "wanted"
>>570357552It absolutely is.
>>570357819Nope.
>>570356126ok but try describing the difference in their personalities without resorting to describing the events of the storythey're both generally nice, reserved, normal heroine type characters with occasional signs of angst or inner turmoil on top of it. that's what i mean by them having the same personality. they are not literally the same character, but the broader strokes are basically the same. they're there to be the straightman representation for the female cast.
>>570357780>She wanted to be honest about her feelingsThat has nothing to do with Eunie. >And some small details like Starlight Kick tell us [headcanon]>Without royal upbringing she [headcanon]>yes, I was wrong when I wrote "wanted"Yes, you are. Glad you admitted it.
>>570357641When was she kind towards Reyn the last time?
>>570357905>both generally nice, reserved, normal heroine type characters That's 99.9% of anime/JRPG heroines. It doesn't mean anything. Mythras kid can be whatever they want, it doesn't have to be a copy of Nia.
>>570357819>Glimmer is abrasive the only traite she shares with mythra.>She's just like mythra guys!Generals retarded
>>570339929>making me pay $700 to play a new game modeI fucking hate it.

>>570357274Obsessed schizo.
>>570358084Every time they interacted.
Idk why but the way Eleanor walks in the trailer is sexy.
>>570358027>Generals retardedWaters wet, poop found in butt etc
>>570358017Who cares about other jrpgs. We are talking in the context of Xenoblade.Mio shares traits with pyra and glimmer shares traits with mythra.It's 2 for one.
>>570358202Not really. She wouldn't tell Eunie any of M's memories when she asked.
>>570358209It's the slender legs
Anybody who plays 3 knows what the highest crit stat you can get from Masha's bullshit crafting? I got 23% on a crappy effect accessory.
>>570358017>Mythras kid can be whatever they wantDo you think that Takahashi wants something that isn't following a previously established narrative pattern? That might be the only thing he actually gives a shit about.
>>570358246>We are talking in the context of Xenoblade.Even in the context of Xenoblade there's plenty of other women with those very generic traits you described. It doesn't mean anything. Mythra's kid can be whatever they want, they don't have to be like Nia just because you keep begging for it.
>>570358017>That's 99.9% of anime/JRPG heroinesNot really. Hikari's personality is just as common

>>570359234>retard-kun can only cite one example from the very beginning of the game

I have a good feeling that we are going full and finished game this time. The final chapters aren't rushed, no need for DLC, all questions are answered.
>>570359820We are absolutely gunna get dlc.
>>570359820Cool story bro
>>570346786You are shit out of luck. Pic related and furball looks like heroes, and a mural seen in a split second had 7 figures.
What's with this muchacho outfit?
Holy shit I hate both 2fags and 3fags.2fags are insecure bitches and 3fags decided to base their whole identity around being rivals to those insecure bitches thus becoming the same thingKill yourselves, none of your games are relevant anymore, Genesis doesn't look like a joke like 2, and it doesn't look yawn inducing like 3
>>570360145I hate antifags the most personally but hey.
>>570359820You joke, but it would be really nice to get a Xeno game that's actually released in a completed state this time. It has yet to happen, but here's hoping.
>>570359886"no need for DLC" is different from no DLC.Xenoblade 3 felt like it was completely unfinished and we needed DLC to answer question, which the DLC then didnt answer.
>>570360145Nobody cares about 1 anymore.
the ultimate truth is that the mythra expy is going to be a stupid+haughty ojou-sama type princess girl because nia is the queen of agnus and 3's main party already has stupid+angry and stupid+nice covered.
>>570360324Nobody cares about 3 either despite being 10 years newer than 1.
>>570359820If they're smart they'll do DLC, no reason not to. Bit of extra revenue. However, now that we know Fire Emblem is releasing at $80, I think there's a chance they'll skip DLC for this game. It's already going to be a very steep sell to casuals.
>>570360350>implying mythra expy in 3 Keep coping retard.
>>570360350>the ultimate truth is [headcanon] because [headcanon]
>>570356728bro just posted a screenshot from the black rock shooter anime, nah that's crazy
>>570360476I don't see how fire emblem relates to dlc for game that comes out next year
>>570360542>>570360626it's going to happen. they aren't going to go back and actually implement nimue when adding mythra's kid will sell 1000x more switch 2 upgrades
>>570360867No it isn't. Cope.
>>570360867They aren't going to introduce Mythra's kid in a hero quest when Glimmer got FR and Mio got 3. You can keep coping all you want though.
>>570358727Truth. Sounds like people should be pointing fingers at Mythrafags for shitting up threads.
Fuck 3 for causing all thet descendant mess.They made the fandom even worse somehow.
>Gears: Famously ran out of money and had to turn the last third into a visual novel.Saga: Ran out of money and had to condense the majority of the story into the last part. Also had multiple supplemental games that filled in the gaps. >Blade 1: Had to fill in gaps with updated version years later. >Blade X: Ended on a cliffhanger, had to fill in the rest with an updated version years later. >Blade 2: Released with a missing chapter, had to fill in with DLC. >Blade 3: Released with a good chunk of the story straight up missing. Had to fill in with sequel DLC. Can't wait to see in what specific ways Genesis releases in an incomplete state.
Assuming that they want Genesis to truly be a separate thing (and it should be) I really think the new blade in 2 has to be Malos (to explain why his soul or whatever was around in 3) and the stupid blond kid since these are the two plot threads remaining that obsessed faggots give a damn about, might as well deal with them now and finally forget about it
>>570361014they are going to use 3:S2E to wrap up every single remaining plot thread and confirm that there will not be another game in the Xenoblade Chronicles timeline.
>>570361428>these are the two plot threads remaining tA kid simply existing is not "loose end" despite what reddit says.
>>570361428>hurr durr I don't want to see the old cast at all>besides my favourite scrimblos of course
>>570361457>they are going to [headcanon]
>>570361457God I hope so
>>570361496I don't care, it's not like anything else about 3 is important enough to give a shit, like I said might as well deal with it now instead of having faggots ask about it for years to come
>>570361457Japan doesn't use the Chronicles suffix, retard-kun
>>570361714Nah, it'd be funnier to let retards continue being unsatisfied and angry over something so dumb.
>>570361317I somewhat agree, actually. While I have a soft spot for next-gen stuff, and the photo is still hilarious, I wish they had just pointed to some character and said "This is Mythra's kid." so that everyone would shut the hell up about it.
>>570361586Yes you dumb faggot I don't want to keep dealing with those mistakes any longer so I'd rather they deal with them now through these switch 2 updates than have them contaminate future games, is that too hard to understand?
>>570361887My bad, I misread you post.
It was a really nice two or three days we had where we were able to have these threads. I need you fuckers to know that I'm hoping you actually go to hell. I want you to be alone, forever.
>>570361428I doubt it's a completely separate existence. We already seen stuff that nods to shared existence.
>>570362017You too babe ;)
>>570342359My kidney its the explanation for the EXP system. Like how in Strange Journey, its not you who is getting stronger but your suit.
Just release fanservice novels. Monolith already wrote the small story for 1. And Takahashi wrote fucking Perfect Works. They should have time and resources for that. It should shut up most of fanbase once and for all
Malos being Eleanor's sword is dumb. HOWEVER, I would be okay with it IF and ONLY if he does a devil-on-the-shoulder shtick. >Malos: Hey. That blonde chick keeps giving you shit. Why don't you just deck her in the face? >Eleanor: Shut up. >Malos: You should totally punch her. It'll be funny. >Eleanor: No! >Malos: C'mooon! Get her right in the schnoz! >Eleanor: Ugh.
>>570362262No fuck that, I'm not reading a novel.
>>570362364We will write qrd for you, honey.
>>570362439Won't happen anyways.
>>570362304Elit seems like most characters glow purple when using anima so I suspect logos is tied to the power system of the world most likely
I just want the new hero to be someone who would cause the biggest reddit meltdown.
>>570362645ENTER
>>570362645They'll melt down if it's anyone besides Mythrakid
>>570362645a mysterious gormotti male from the City who is mio's biological dad
>>570362645Why do they care so much anyway
Shulk, Rex and Noah + their love interests will always stay relevant. You are naive if you expect Takahashi to let them rest
>>570363063>Why do they care so much>they Have you read the posts in this thread? Seems like a bunch of retards here care too much about it too. Or maybe they're just the same reddit crossposters. Wouldn't surprise me one bit
>>570363063Because despite /v/'s narrative it's full of 2fags.
>>570363101>Shulk, Rex and Noah + their love interests will [headcanon]
>>570363063generally they were 11-16 years old when xenoblade 2 was released and they felt humiliated by the dunkey shitpost review video
>>570363101Fiora is barely relevant in XC1
>Oi, everyone! Look what I made! Remember when 3 was revealed, and there were people seriously arguing that Mio wasn't Nia's daughter? Cause I do. And yes, it was fucking laughable even at the time. Fucking look at her.
>>570363246Sounds like you're pretty familiar with the userbase. Go back.
>>570360783FE is $80, so Xenoblade Genesis can't be priced any lower. Axel: Got it memorised?The minimum they'd charge for a season pass is $20. Do you honestly think Nintendo is willing to have a listing for one game + DLC on the eShop for $100 or more? I know Pokemon has done this but it can get away with it because it's Pokemon. Xenoblade is too niche.
I can't wait to be able to play as tel eos
>>570363381>NiaLiterally who?
>>570363486Ever thought that fe is just a mismaged mess?
>>570363063Xenoblade has always had a cultural barrier in the storytelling that a lot of old Japanese games have, which is that they're far more interested in the "what" and "how", rather than the "why", which in English storytelling almost always takes precedent (and for good reason in my opinion).I don't care about all these convoluted sci fi concepts and half-baked ideas of Jungian psychology that don't even manifest explicitly in the story. What message are you ACTUALLY trying to convey? Who cares about who Mythra's kid is, instead worry about what it MEANS that Takahashi has (or hasn't, in this case) shown it.
>>570363487T-elos in XB2 is odd. She's still a huge sadistic asshole, but she's like, weirdly friendly? It's a bit jarring. I don't know who decided that KOS-MOS' smug ass evil rival needed glasses, but I'm not complaining.
>>570363992Glasses.The lPea shooter smoll gun I love it all
I want Dunban's kid
>>570363486>>570363669Xenoblade has been $80 in japan since forever, thats why 2 shot up in popularity with that Switch 2 "get any 2 games for $120" deal, because it was a discount on Xenoblade 2.The new pricing model nintendo adopted isnt new, its just the rest of the world finally getting the pricing model japan has had for all games all along, where big games like JRPGs are priced higher than other games. This is why Splatoon Raiders is $50 while Bananza is $70 and Fire Emblem is $80, variable pricing based on the type of game, which has been how Japan has done it forever.Zelda will be $80, and likely so will Genesis (unless the price it lower in hopes of promoting more sales), the next 3D Mario will be $70 and so will the inevitable next smash game.The only thing that made this whole thing confusing is they chose to price fucking MARIO KART at $80, which was just insane and I can only assume a way to try to push early sales by making people get the game cheaper in the limited time Switch 2 bundle.
>>570364291Men can't get pregnant, retard.
>>570363940thats just a difference between fundamentalist literature and modernist literature thonothing to do with country culture
>>570364382True. But they can impregnate their or someone's else woman
>>570358939Melia is awkward at worst.
>>570363669Nah, Nintendo is absolutely pricing their stuff based on how much they can get away with it.They know life-long fans of a series aren't going to miss out on the new game just because it's $20 more expensive than before. Same with Mario Kart. They can just say "what's wrong with $80 hundreds of hours of game?". That's why Bonanza, a not-mario, short game is $70 and Star Fox, a supershort remaster is $50.People wanted Nintendo not to ask $60 for both the big games and the shovelware, the paw reacted, and now we get the shovelware for $50 and the big games for $80.
>>570364504We all know there's no women there
>>570364558He knows. He's just a baiting retard.
>>570364504N...
>>570362756I could see people white knighting her because she's female while others point out her notable flaws.
>>570362756They are going to make basedface
>>570364605It's a lot simpler. They just want to push people into digital, what every other publisher is doing one way or another, like having low printings of high demand games.
>>570364352That's mainly because Japan doesn't really have standarized pricing if you look at the prices of Nintendo published games on Switch and Switch 2 they're all over the place.>>570364605>That's why Bonanza, a not-mario, short game is $70Bananza really isn't a short game.
Now when I'm not drunk, this brown blonde guy looks like Rex and Mythra a lot. Strange coincidence
People are forgetting the important thing about Eleanor. We like our Xenogirls unshaved down there and facesitting on their loved ones.
>facesittingEw...
>>570365684That's my point. Japan has never had standardized pricing. And Nintendo's new pricing is just them bringing the model japan has had all along to the rest of the world. Of course adding digital vs physical pricing differences is just because the damn carts cost so much despite also being slower than internal storage.
>>570365736He has the wrong eye color.
>>570366247Blue eyes are result of mutation.
>>570365970Eleanore is cleanly shaven
>>570366336Rex and Mythra both have gold eyes, retard
>>570366394Why would anyone shave if they don't expect a lot of sexual encoutners?
>>570366394AWFUL
>>570366517She got crabs once and became traumatized.
>>570354378Eleanor isn't Xenoblade's Edelgard.
>>570366940Why is her face so long?
This may need correction and updating after all.
>>570356816There is literally a cutscene in 3 where Eunie said she'd hope to be a more proper lady. It's the other way around.
The new hero for 3 NS2 will be KOS MOS Re:
>>570367023I think it's just the angle. In other shots her face looks fine.
>>570367124I feel like Brighid's would be fire.
>>570358314That's probably what it is. Idk if it's just me but I already find the Genesis girls more attractive than most of 3's.
>>570366070It's the Xeno way.
>>570367605>XCX. This game's OST is kinda ass for the most part, so these 3 are take it or leave it.This one is absolutely amazing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDbh3lLi1ZY
>>570367124No way Melia has a bush she's clearly Waxed, also, Shania, Na'el, and Sena all have a bush.
>>570367124Zenobia would have a nimbus cloud shaped bush that has jiggle physics
>>570348169I can only answer for the Xenos I've played so far.XC1. This game's soundtrack is absolute kinography. Trying to pick 3 is like asking me to pick a favourite child. But if I had to pick only 3, here's 3 in no particular order.Gaur Plain (Wii version, not the DE): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDJtsfR51ToZanza the Divine DE (best final boss theme in the series hands down): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnVemwebkiYMechanical Rhythm DE (absolute banger): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXafUA1laIUXCX. This game's OST is kinda ass for the most part, so these 3 are take it or leave it.Black Tar (not the Skell portion, which is ass): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFGXXvPiJi0Uncontrollable (nonsense lyrics but still pretty good): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOeb7StJlRcNoctilum - Night (decent enough): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dd8fUGy2T4XC2. Thank god Sawano didn't come back for this game, since what we got was kino once again. In no particular order,Counterattack (This song does a phenomenal job of communicating the heroes just barely pulling out a victory from the jaws of defeat. Incredible storytelling through music): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aElM_uHL00EYggdrasil (goddamn the final act of this game was incredible): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0gfc6m3qJgA Moment of Eternity (hard to pick between this one and One Last You): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3_oQJkdawM
Is the switch 2 safe to take to work? Wondering because mine has never left my house. I wanted to grind XC1 at lunch instead of watching YouTube. I’m thinking about getting one of those messenger bag traveling cases for it.
I hope the big lore twist for Genesis is in the actual base game unlike 3.
>>570367124A has Trinity Core instead of pubes.
>>570367448I only found Sena attractive in 3 for the most part But yeah eleanores legs do activate some almonds for me.
>>570333895Is xenoblades 2 only on switch? I camt play on my pc?
>>570368032Get a case and you will be fine
>>570368145Euniebros...
>>570368204You can emulate it
2rannies may get mad at this, but Ethel is objectively the most beautiful women in all of Xenoblade.
>>570367850Depressed girls don't have the energy to deal with their pubes
>>570367208And Melia told her that she likes her like she is.I already said that it was wrong to use "want". I just think that potentially Melia could be very similar to Eunie.It's my headcanon anyway so I'm not going to die on that hill.
>>570368676She still needs to maintain an elegant and pure look to match her queen status.
>>570368609I'm not upset but you are incorrect
>>570368718You don't even like Melia, fuck off schizoYou are so obsessed with a character you hate
>>570368204That's like asking if Super Mario Odyssey is on PC. You retards aren't funny.
>>570368609Most beautiful "women"? Are there more of her?>>570368803Either way it isn't like she'd be parading her pubes around.
>>570368018Change Gaur Plain to Bionis' Should and it would be my list for 1.
>>570368676Does her simulacra have perfectly working ovaries?
>>570368609That's not Fiora.
>>570369343I mean he wrote> the most beautiful women in all of Xenoblade.so we know it.
>>570369343No shit, retard
>>570368676She has royal shavers (mostly Tyrea) for that.
>>570369781Royal carpet muncherShe literally eats her pubes
So why did Nia behead Dromarch and mount him above her bedroom door?
>>570365270Her flaws are what make her lovable though. Shion is a disaster of a person, and it's the best. Fuck this safe shonen bullshit, let JRPG protagonists be messy bitches whose character arc is working through their trauma.
>>570370765She didn't. He was turend into Cloudkeep .
>>570370865Shion is not lovable though.Like at all
>>570370865>safe shonen bullshitIt's only Shulk though .
>>570370990nta but I like flawed characters a lot so I find her lovable.
>>570371194Enjoy your sloppy seconds, Allen.
>>570371298Expected answer.
>>570370990Yes she is. Mean nerd girls deserve love too.
>>570335297GOOD MORNING SAMAAR
>>570371141And Noah.
>>570362756Already in Xenoblade 2
Just please do not let Genesis be some simulation or virtual world or collective dream shit
>>570334306Thumbnail looks like a screencap from a 2D anime
>>570371141All Xenoblade protagonists are shonen variant, even Lora and Matthew.
>>570335058This town looked so comfy. I am so glad we're getting the comfy JRPG town trope back in Genesis.
>>570371141Nah, Rex is absolutely a stock shonen boy, and Noah is just kinda bland outside of being an apocalyptic simp.
MariaMomoMeliaMythraMio
>>570371194I don't conflate flawed and and lovable.I like flawed characters.Shions just not lovable.It's like reading unordinary. Shit just gets frustrating.
>>570369176>Most beautiful "women"? Are there more of her?yes that's the entire gimmick of 3
So why did they make lines so thick in Genesis? Looks like a cartoon filter
>>570371627Astelle is hilarious because she's just straight up "Okay, for some reason, Bamco wouldn't clear anything aside from KOS-MOS and T-elos, so we're just gonna put in a character who is literally Shion in all but name.". And it's not even subtle, it's KOS-MOS' affinity quest. She even talks like her, for fucks sake.
I feel like aspects from XB3 like the Colony Gamma questline and the Ouroboros candidacy/Houses hierarchy in The City are ideas that were being testbedded for Genesis.
Still a bit silly there wasn't any real explanation why there wasn't specifically a Consul A.
>>570373631N kept the slot empty out of respect for Alpha
Why did Zed call Alpha his God? Because Origin was created by Ontos and he was able to manifest because of it?
Over/under on the academy being like the Jugend Military Academy and Eleanor going insano style and killing a bunch of people?
>>570371669P = NP?
>>570373802But it isn't really up to him, right? Z is the one creating Consuls.
>>570373631It was probably ment to be the A from redeemed but they changed their mind on what to do with her.She clearly still has a weird consul outfit
>>570372726I still think this was a hole left in the final game from an earlier version of the script where Alvis/Alpha was meant to appear as a Consul. Me and my friend thought as much even before the DLC.
>>570372113Noah is a more stoic low energy shonen protag. Shulk is a bit the "somewhat adjusted nerd", then you have Matthew who's more of an "old school hot blooded hero".
What is a Consul to a low tier God?
>>570374274Hmmm... a squeegee?
>>570374274
Mobeius was silly even by Xeno villain standards. They're just actually Power Rangers villains, with henshin shit and everything. Just look at X and her ridiculous helmet. She's just Morgana from SPD. Granted, there are PR villains with equally psycho motives.
>6 Ouroboros>6 Cores>6 Suns Bros...
>>570374872You know what there aren't?6 party membersLmaoooooooooo
>>570374956>6 party members
>>570374762I kinda wish they had a somewhat similar look to the gazel ministry.
Oh, and before anyone wants to start, yes I am aware the Elements are also a standard group of quirky villains, but still. They were still more dignified than the Consuls. Somehow.
>>570374956Probably because is a full controlled action game now
>>570374762WE FUCKING LOVE X IN THIS HOUSE
>>570376024I don't see why that means you can't have a party. This shit pissed me off with both FF15 and 16. Just let me push D-Up to bring up a swap menu. It's not that fucking complicated.
>>570376024No.
>>5703749563keks crying in the corner rn
>>570376382
>>570374872Satanic game?
>>570376440Project legacy was listed as their action game.And they fucked up letting us know that this is project legacy.
Fuck it, while we're here, I gotta be real about something. I like JRPG character designs, but the turn-based/auto-battle combat always annoys the shit out of me, because the cutscenes always have them doing crazy acrobatics, and it makes me feel like they should be using real-time systems. Yes, cold, ancient take, but it's insane that this is still an issue.
>BOTW without durability but in a school setting
>>570376928>>BOTW without durabilityYou cannot see the fountains of semen impacting my ceiling right now.
Action jrpgs are shit. Keep the mmo combat or make it turn based
>>570377062kek
>>570374956>Eleanor, Cain, Bitch, Garcher, Dragon Boy, BlueyabiBut they are.
>>570376836To be fair have live action combat doesn't garenteed a fix for this.Aerith is able to shoot crazy lasers and teleport but she's still has the balance of a 7 year old in cutscenes and trips up all the time
>>570377347That's four, by my count.
>>570377550You can't count? That's horrible bro.
>>570376836I actually quite like Xenoblade's combat system, but I can see the merit in this perspective as well. A lot of newcomers find themselves annoyed with art cooldowns and the poorly communicated range of enemy attacks that nuke you from a million miles away. I genuinely think that the series could expand its fanbase to a much broader audience if it dropped its MMO-lite combat altogether and tried something completely new with this entry.We've had 4 games with a similar combat system anyways. With the end of the Chronicles subseries, the new Genesis series would be the perfect time to introduce something totally different, preferably something that emphasizes more movement and mobility like you said
>>570377550Mwamba...
>>570377513True. That's the ol' ludonarrative dissonance and whatnot. I genuinely wonder why devs can't be arsed to ensure that characters remain consistent in both story and gameplay. The fluff and crunch are so often at odds, and I don't understand why.
Can anyone name a single game where the shit the characters do in cutscenes is anything like the gameplay? Even cuh-razy games don't meet this criteria that you guys want. Having anime bullshitbin cutscenes is a staple of jrpgs going back decades
>>570378246Kingdom hearts
>>570378246all the half life games have playable cutscenes involving npcs where the npcs behave as they do in gameplaythis is one thing that still makes them some of the best games ever because the entire games feel extremely grounded and immersivetheres no cutscene ability immersion breaking
>>570378246Yes, and that's always bothered me. I don't understand how this STILL happens. I'm sorry, but if a character cannot do something in gameplay, they shouldn't do it in cutscenes.
>>570378442Well I don't really care about feeling grounded
>>570378413If you want video games to play like kingdom hearts then I'm sorry for your brain damage.>>570378442Half life is based in a semblance of reality, this is an anime series with anime bullshit>>570378537Autism
>>570378246Dying Light games
>>570378442This is also a double-edged sword in the case of Half-Life though, they kickstarted the trend of playable sequences that are amazing on your first playthrough but suck on your second because they're, you know, gameplay, and therefore inherently unskippable. This trend especially destroyed so many otherwise amazing Sony games during the PS3 and PS4 generation.
>>570378670>wanting basic consistency is "autism"Yeah okay. We've reached the point of hand waving any and all criticism. Got it.
Why would you play a jrpg if you don't like the cutscenes to be over the top?
>>570378965The gameplay should be equally over the top. Remember that bullshit early in 2 where Pyra was doing insane acrobatic battle with Malos? She doesn't do that in gameplay, and that sucks.
>>570378814Those have the opposite problem, Kyle and Aiden can do insane superhuman shit in gameplay but then they get dunked on by basic grunts in cutscenes
>>570379194Then it wouldn't be cool when she does it in a cutscene.
Anyone complaining about this cutscene shit is a Dunkey fan by the way
>>570378965It's technically worse then thatIf someone can jump in a cutscene but the overall game doesn't have jumping. Then it's ludo narrative dissonance apparently.
>>570368018>Yggdrasilhonestly i forgot about this song, i'd maybe change it for crossing swords,
>>570379423I think only autists care about this shit
>>570379360He liked Xenoblade 3 more than me.
>>570379194That still wouldn't happen.Even action games can't pull that shit off Eve doesn't do half the shit she does in cutscenes and she does some crazy shit
>>570379685Gooner creep game + not an RPG
Is it just me or the new game looks worse graphically speaking than 2 and 3?
>>570379360this is not twitter or reddit, here we accept the constructive criticism dunkey provided for 2.Still one of my favourite games, but it still has its issues
>>570379947It might just be you.But the particle effects are in a bad state right now.They are definitely over sharpened or the dlss is being to aggressive
>>570379947I'm not sold on the artstyle.
>>570379332Anon, this is a video game. It's cool that you, the audience, are able to do the thing. >>570379685The she shouldn't be able to do that stuff in custscenes. If the player can't do it, the character shouldn't do it. Simple as.
>>570378246Persona
>>570380415Holy fucking autismTell me what games you like that meet your requirements
>>570380415Yeah nah. The more I here of this argument the more it takes away from games. Or weird combat systems.Stick to shooting games
>>570380279To be honest, I need particle effects to kinda go away. Unless it's beam weapon or portal effect or something, please stop putting unnecessary sparks and shit all over the screen.
>>570376836FF7 remake has the opposite issue. Crazy moves in combat. Can't jump over rubble outside of combat.
>>570380415I don't think this is the genre for you, bud.
>>570377893One of the reasons why I enjoy Xenoblade so much is because the combat is similar to most MMORPGs. Always been a sucker for that auto attack and then spam buttons.
>>570380553>>570380632>anon is okay with not being able to do the same crazy shit the character can do ... Then why is this even a video game? Just make anime instead.
>>570379947I feel like the environment took a dip, at least when it comes to trees and grass in comparison to previous switch games, or even the unveil trailer of XB2.
>>570379947Unironically, don't judge the graphics until we get a dubbed trailer, they're still working hard on the game at this point
>>570380632>The more I here
>>570379947>>570381000Are you guys high? Did you not notice the grass LOD? It looks way better, even though it's obviously in an unfinished state.
>>570380902You still haven't said what games you like that don't have this "issue"
>>570379947I think it looks better. But I do agree with this anon>>570380279The particles are really ugly
>>570381110super mario world
>>570381059Yeah my bad. I guess I lose the argument.
>>570380714Sector 5 slums and the Shinra building lobby are especially whack examples of that. Tifa should absolutely just be able to fucking somersault into that reception booth.
>>570378246Cuh-razy action games are pretty close though? Thinking about DMC3 where you can very specifically do the kinds of things in cutscenes, like the table hopper surfboard thing.
>>570379947i wish it was 60fps, its going to be hard to go back to 30 and makes me wonder why they botehred giving switch 2 updates at all
>>570381063I don't know. This is XB2.
>>570378246Action games imo.
>>570381283Cuh-razy games always have even more insane shit in the cutscenes though for the specific reason that if they didn't then as the other anon is saying, what is the point of it being a cutscene?
>>570381063>>570381415And XBG. Maybe I'm blind? But it doesn't look all that impressive considering one was on switch 1 and the other is on switch 2.
>>570381110Cause there aren't any. For example, I love Metroid games, but it's damn distracting in the Primes when Samus does huge leaps into the air that I can't make her do. You do realize you can like games and still criticize them, right?
>>570381227I'm not able to blow up castles in that games gameplay
>>570381519>Samus does huge leaps into the air that I can't make her doMeanwhile in Super Metroid you can jump forever, meanwhile in cutscenes she just runs.
>>570381519You have autism
>>570381151It kinda looks like a cane from this angle
>>570381575i was trying to make fun of cutscene anon but i forgot about that part O_O
>>570381515Pretty sure the games not going for a ginormous graphical jump because its still aiming for 60fps
>>570381515the grass has a much higher draw distance herebut the main issue is the skybox, or rather the seaboxthey should have overlaid two more global textures onto their lowest level of detail meshit looks horrible otherwise and i certainly hope it doesnt ship like thatif its because they think it will look weird then they shouldnt worry because other games have done sea skies and its looked beautiful such as spirit tracks and that game was on the ds
>>570381519>play fire emblem 7>play rin route>cutscenes she just talks>get crit in combat>she teleports all over the place
>>570381519Thank christ you aren't the one designing these games anon.
>>570377893>>570380836It could be gussied up while keeping a lot of the mechanics. Auto-attack combat with more fluid attacking, dodging, and blocking existed all the way back in like 2002 with Neverwinter Nights. And I always felt like what they were going for in XB2 was an RPG take on crazy action combos because they introduced launchers and stuff like that.My preference is action but I think the real problem is presentation. There's no reason why the combat can't be way flashier, especially since the traditional Xenoblade MMORPG combat has the mechanics basically totally divorced from the visuals to begin with.
>>570381876Gameplay sections are 30fps in the trailer.
>>570381325>i wish it was 60fpsit isn't?Like sure, in the youtube trailer you have to press , or . twice to skip a frame, but i selected another random 60fps video and it's the same, so probably something youtube related
>>570381913>the grass has a much higher draw distance hereSure, but that doesn't make the grass looking better. Either way, it's mostly a nitpick. I don't play games to be graphically superior, but rather visually pleasing. MS has always been about art direction over graphics.
>>570379947The artistic choice to have outlines on distant terrain (possibly required to make the curved world not nausea-inducing) is a bit hit or miss.Characters are high quality, and the grass draw distance and grass detail is way higher.The background LODs look pretty bad though because they're super visible due to the curved world and not squished by the shallow angle you'd see them at at a distance, and I imagine the game seemingly having a seamless world instead of a zone-based one limits the visual fidelity as well, cant cheat distant scenery as much.
>>570381515You have to consider that they're probably putting most of the Switch 2's extra power into rendering the world. The entire map being visible at pretty much all times is a pretty big ask.
Xeno combat peaked with Xenosaga Episode 2
TODAY, WE MOTORBOAT A GOD, AND SKI OUR DESTINY!
>>570382258But the whole world is rendered in XB3 too.
>>570382160And?It's Youtube.It's not a reliable metric.
>>570382515No? In XBC3 you need to go through loading zones between areas, they fake distant stuff.

Reminder that Monolith Soft's internal engine lacks automatic occlusion culling. They have to manually add every programmatic object to occlusion groups and cull them based on visibility over distance. I hope their new engine they were bragging about has fixed this because engines for PC games from thirty years ago (not hyperbole) were doing this.When I say programmatic object I am including the "invisible" entities that handle data and logic and have no associated model, by the way. Can you imagine being the engineer intern tasked with doing group cleanup on all those objects scattered everywhere, by hand? No bueno.
>>570382648I mean, sure. Not sure if they've said XBG will be a seamless open world, but they probably did. XBX then.
probably unpopular opinion but i really like 1's combat and party system (where each character has their own arts)
>>570382931I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. I've seen plenty of people saying the job system in 3 makes characters too homogenous. And to a lesser extent the random blades in 2
>>570382931I'm pretty sure nobody in 2 has the same arts either.Unless ur problem is specifically arts effects
>>570383260you probably saw me complaining if you're referring to just here>>570383334my problem with 2's it's a decent amount of blades are just shit on X character because oh no the autoattack animation is too slow. also iirc the blades of the same class give the same spells to the driver, no? ofc excluding dlc blades or unique ones
>>570377064I think Action JRPGs can be very good, but I want Xenoblade to feel like a Xenoblade game.
>>570382931Honestly anon, i agree. The fact that each character had a unique role that only they could fill really helped them feel unique. I had so much fun coming up with wild team comps that somehow managed to work. Heck, you could even pull off some functional builds with Sharla as the lead if you knew what you were doing.The biggest problem with 1's combat was always that the game gave you absolutely nothing to do once all your arts were on cooldown, which made certain characters really boring to play as. RNG chain attacks are also complete ass.most importantly though, sharla is hot.
>>570383840But this isn't the old Xenoblade.
>>570383602Well that's not trueNia is only compatible with some weapon arc types because she just doesn't have access to good arts most of the time.For example Nia doesn't have. A single blade combo art outside of break. And break is only on the ring weapons.So yeah they typically have different art effects between drivers
>>570383957I really like the new costumes. Melia's in particular. Makes her ultra cute.
>>570378246NinCHAD CHADen
>>570382779how do O'Neil Cylinders work? how does the water not fall from the sky? anti gravity?
>>570383957>The biggest problem with 1's combat was always that the game gave you absolutely nothing to do once all your arts were on cooldown, which made certain characters really boring to play as. RNG chain attacks are also complete ass.this is true, though i dont remember i had that much of a problem with that since i was mainly playing either shulk or melia. Something like "if all spells on cooldown, their cooldown reduces faster" would be nice i guess, or XBX:DE quick cast thing.
>>570384101i meant same blade class (ie hammer) has the same abilities on the character
>>570379947the characters do look worse. you can see that their textures are about as high resolution as the ones in 3 and the models are as if not more detailed, but it seems to have been an intentional choice to go with just flat colors and shading on them. the shadowing on the characters seem to be more anime inspired than what we got in 3 as well, but that also makes it harder to make out individual outfit details because of the aforementioned lack of texture. this makes all of them look lower poly and lower resolution. i guess the idea was to go for a more anime look but i'm not sure that they're sticking the landing.>>570381515it looks like they fucked something up with how their fog system interacts with the distant terrain. other shots where it's less pronounced don't have that same issue. the actual scene density and overall texture resolution of the immediate vicinity are way higher across the board, though.
so why doesn't it take place on earth?
>>570384349Magic. But a more serious answer is that it's supposed to spin in such a speed that water doesn't fall down due to centrifugal force.
>>570384629I'm not sure what you mean.I'm pretty sure rex has a topple art on hammersWhile Nia has none
>>570384814>Assuming it's not on earth
Think we'll get to fly the dragon around or will it just be a cutscene?
>>570385223Maybe
>>570385223Flying is the death of exploration
>>570385457It was pretty kino in X.
>>570384929yes, rex has the same arts on all hammers (non-dlc). that's my complaint
>>570385457Worked fine in Tales games and XBX.
>>570384814
That one teacher dude looks like an evil ass dude. Some shit is going to go down. Maybe students who graduate get FUUUCKED
>>570385547Well your a bit wrong.Every driver has driver arts tied to weapons.Yes all hammers are the same weapon type.And yeah dlc just made a bunch of new weapon types for the fucks of it.Blades offer blade arts. Drivers offer driver arts.So it makes sense that the blades arts would be the only thing that changes if it shares a weapon with another.
>be playing Genesis>jump from high up a mountain>suddenly the gravity shifts my weight to the other side of the world.I know it's not possible, but imagine jumping at a distance.
>new blade questHoly shit are they actually gunna reprise Al weaver?
>>570385457I agreeI ran around exploring in X for 60 hours before I unlock flyingI just like it when you have an obstacle that you need to get around on foot, it takes that away with flying
>>570385525Eh, not really. One of my the most fun experiences I had in X was trying to explore Cauldros on foot while stealthing around dangerous enemies and fighting what I could.Flight opens up so much freedom that it just kinda homogenizes everything. With flight, there's no reason to engage with each place's unique geography. Sylvalum feels like Noctilum, which feels like Oblivia, which feels like Voltaris.It was definitely the right call for the X devs to make flight a post-Ch 9 feature.
>>570385457Flying is fine but only if its given to you after you've had a chance to explore all the zones already.
>>570381681It gets especially silly in Dread. Oh god the things she can do in Dread.
>female elves when they see a human male
>>570384683this is an example of what i mean about the texture details. you can see from the embroidery on Eleanor's jacket that its texture is about as high resolution as Na'el's but it looks so much lower quality because it's just solid color outside of a handful of details like the trim.i would normally chalk this kind of thing up to video compression, but i don't think it's making a difference different here at all outside of Eleanor's eyes and hair. i really hope that the textures are still WiPs and they'll go back and add the kinds of details that the clothes.
>Xenoblade threads on /vg/>Actual intelligent discussion going on about the new reveals>Xenoblade threads on /v/>Samefagging schizo shitting up the threads about how Genesis is going to suck because there's not enough breasts and how Monolith Soft layed off 90% of their staff after the failure of 3 and X:DE according to him, despite the fact that lay offs aren't a thing in Japan
>>570376748Xenoblade is already considered an action RPG game...
i just want to play the new game...
They just need to fix collisions in combat. Vaguely waving your sword in front of you shouldn’t count as an attack
>>570386536Breeding Hope over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.....
>>570393672That's not so much fixing as having collision at all.
>>570381415how can you say XB2 has good grass distance? Every Switch 1 Xenoblade has terrible draw distance. 1 on the Wii too but it ran at a real low resolution instead of the Switch's dynamic res that makes everything super blurry. It's fine if it doesn't bother you, it barely bothers me (I thought 2 ran at 1080p when I first played it from my TV), but you can't say Genesis looks even remotely close.
>Xenoblade on Switch were visually impressive >Xenoblade on Switch 2 is just above average
>>570394168Also XB3 had this weird thing where it would actually cull grass near your characters for some reason.
>>570392319same as it ever was
>>570392319Why does anyone bother to go there anymore? Sure the absence of generals can suck at times, but I rather no general and spend my time being productive in other parts of life over staying on /v/ most of the day.

Anyone remember the time X was shat on for its faces/models?
>>570395982>soulsloppano thanks, I would rather turn-based xenoblade
I find the MMO combat unique, what's wrong with it?
Hello. I have a question for anyone fluent in 日本語.How difficult is Gears, as well as every Saga and Blade entry in terms of language? I've been learning for a year and I'm N3. Are any of the games too advanced? Thank you.
>>570397526The biggest problem is that every fight sorta feels the same because there's nothing for the player to really do besides press their cooldowns and do chain attack. You don't really have to respond to anything the enemy does you kinda just win or you dont.I don't want souls (aka zelda) combat, or in general combat where you can avoid all damage and thus tanks and healers are meaningless, but having the player have to respond to what the enemies do more directly would help each fight feel more unique.
>>570397526It doesn't look flashy or impactful, you don't really make many choices because you generally just rotate through a small number of moves over and over, it's reliant on AI teammates to fill roles and they are usually really bad at it, and then chain attacks are overly centralizing and not that interesting because the strategy's always the same. It's not that bad but it could be way better. I don't think I'm ever really looking forward to combat in these games.
>>570397798I always found Xenoblade combat to be really weird.In 1 I do agree with you. You kinda just press all the buttons and play color match. But 2 I think is a lot more fun with animation canceling being so ingrained in its design. Really missed that stuff in 3, which kinda goes back to pressing all the buttons, but in turn makes chain attacks more involved.However I think character switching could really go a long way. 3 kinda fumbled the idea imo. In fact I started the game trying to micromanage everything and had a horrible time because nothing worked. Then I just stuck to one character and only used the swap for stuff like getting proper aggro with a tank, which was kinda lame.Overdrive is kinda cool in the sense that your focus goes entirely on your bar and sequencing.
they need to let your level your party down before NG+ on 3's NS2 version. on hard you have to rely on timing your ouroboros forms and chain attacks to cancel enemy attacks or negate their damage, but only really if you're sticking to the recommended level for whatever quest you're doing.
>>570398717Character switching would be a lot more useful in a game with the standard 3 person parties, every character would always be one button press away for easy access, and because everyone's job is twice as important as with 6, you'd know your reasons for switching too.
I refuse to believe they called this game a new beginning and gave the protagonist a fucking iaido swordfighting style just to go back to mmo garbage. Enough is enoughThey have to make a positive impression with the combat next trailer and nobody is going to fall for another shitty gimmick like "LOOK SIX PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME" again
Torna had easily the most fun combat with animation cancelling and character swapping and combos which makes me believe the people asking to turn it into action were simply in the right all along.
>>570399849>and gave the protagonist a fucking iaido swordfighting styleYou say this as if it's something special and not something you find in nearly every game you can use a katana lol
>>570397656国語辞典を使えるならゼノもできると思う
Xenoblade should copy pokemon z-a combat
>>570399849>nobody is going to fall for another shitty gimmick like "LOOK SIX PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME" againi thought that people liked xenoblade 2's combat the most?
>>570399849I get wanting to have a change of pace, but I'll never understand playing 4 games in a franchise and then being "that was great! The gameplay was shit though, change it"
>>570400427Is it that strange? I love Xenoblade worlds, I love the plots, I love the characters, I love the aesthetics, I love the soundtrack. But the combat itself is absolutely whatever. Absolutely nobody recommends these games for the combat.To their credit I thought it got better with each game for a while. I found X more fun than 1, and I found 2 more fun than either (when it finally unlocks everything anyway), and Torna felt like their zenith. Then 3 was this kinda weird unsatisfying hybrid step back and it made me think that they have already exhausted all that they can do without a more in-depth reinvention.
>>570400427The gameplay isn't all combat.
>>570400941I thought XB3's combat was the zenith personally, the issue was just that the class system was fucking terrible. There are only a couple of tanks and the rest of the classes are attackers and supports. What the fuck? It just made Master Arts so painful and horrible.
>>570401167Yeah, sometimes you climb up something, other times you climb down something.
>>570400941The problem with 3 is that it's 6-7 party members fighting at the same time. Every fight feels the same if you don't change who you are controlling. In previous games you changed party members and you could notice differences. Even with all these different classes in 3 I still feel not much was changing. The worst thing was that by the end of the game so many visual effects just made battles completely chaotic because so many arts were being used and field effects activated. You almost couldn't see what was happening.
>>570398717Character switching felt like it was tacked on as an afterthought. You couldn't get your AI teammates not to use critical abilities before you switched to them. I'd prefer something like being able to define certain abilities and call them like fighting game assists.
i love elves
>>570402448That's one smug elf.
>>570400941I don't know man, I think wanting to change the combat of every game you don't like the combat of would result in every game being the same. Next time we get Pokemon and Xenoblade and they both play like genshin impact.
>>570403210I just think some sort of shakeup is necessary since right now it really feels like the vast majority of people are just over-leveled and mashing through combat without thinking to get to the next cutscene.I don't think it needs the same combat as every other game but right now the combat feels so completely disconnected from what is actually happening that the actual fights aren't the climax, the cutscenes before and after are.
>>570402491She's seen how much fanart she's gotten already.
What if Eliza and Eleanor are both real characters though?Eliza as the blind girl we know from the leak, Eleanor at the start of the game using a weapon that conveniently stores and relays her experiences and memories, which might allow her to 'resurrect' in a new avatar not unlike XC2 core crystals didAKA Eliza could be Eleanor v2.0, who inherits her will and powers but has a different (blind) bodyThen again the leak also talks about a completely different origin story for Cain, and it seems to me like a bit of a stretch that both of them would get reincarnated in such a manner.
>>570334587I'll give you my least schizo theory>Genesis is just the combined earth post-klaus>Klaus actually split the entire solar system rather than just earth, it just wasnt shown>when origin kicked back on at the end of XC3, it didnt properly merge earth back to normal, it had a third 'input' of aionios as a third version of earth with its own history>Each of the trinity processor cores influenced one of the input versions of earth (pneuma/alrest, logos/bionis+mechonis, and ontos/aionios) which will lead to 3 major factions/continents in Genesis>land warmed by the light of six suns>The bonus 5 suns are from: Lost Jerusalem, bionis/mechonis, alrest, aionios, XCX earth multiverse shenanigans
>>570403418>I just think some sort of shakeup is necessary since right now it really feels like the vast majority of people are just over-leveled and mashing through combat without thinking to get to the next cutscene.In that sense it's kind of like an evolution along the JRPG branch where the combat is totally mindless and you're just spamming Attack through everything. But I don't think that's good combat, that's just more tolerable.But also you bring up a good point which is that holy shit are they ever going to actually balance one of these games so that you don't get absurdly overleveled with trivial effort? I think Xenoblade is the only series I can think of where they've had to have some feature that limits your XP gain and allows you to delevel at will, solely because they cannot be assed to balance the XP curve.
>>570403210But Pokemon combat is good. Or at least better than Xenoblade's. There is some strategy and depth at least. There will never be depth in Xenoblade as long as the gameplay is spam all your arts off coldown. Either go full action or revise the system top to bottom so player choice and reaction to what enemies do matter.Here's an example, when 3 was announced I remember people celebrating that proper buffs and debuffs had returned. But this ended up not mattering one bit in the end. Debuffs are obvious, they are never useful because every enemy you'd want to use them on is immune. But buffs are also meaningless because you just apply them automatically to the whole team by cycling through your arts repeatedly... which is what you would be doing anyway no matter what class you were playing. There is no opportunity cost, no decision to make. Endgame strategies are loading half your party with buff arts they spam to the whole battle to the whole party to steamroll enemies. The buffs are basically permanent, what difference does it make if they exist or not? At that point why not just remove them, balance enemies accordingly and replace them with effects that could be actually interesting?
>>570404027Poor Segiri and her shitty, shitty class.
>>570403728It would probably be the other way around with crystones being the class change mechanic for the player characters. Eleanor would be able to equip Eliza's to gain access to her blind sword fighting techniques.
>>570404027>There is some strategy and depth at leastPokemon combat is deep, but it's not fun. It's slow as shit and full of annoying status popups. Xenoblade is fun and fast and never interrupts you.
Isn't there a possibility that this game is that one action game they were recruting for a while ago? Everyone assumed it would be a new IP because it said something like the game had a different feel than the usual stuff from Monolith. But now here we have this fantasy themed Xenoblade with dragons and shit and maybe this was that game all along.
>>570404743I suspect that those action game positions were related to Zelda. This is confirmed to be what Project Legacy got turned into, but I don't think we ever got any details about that at all.
>>570405269No, Zelda always had their own separate ads, in fact we first knew about TotK because Monolith posted a Zelda recruitment ad on their site
Eliza is the original, Eleanor is her cloneThis will be Tales of the Abyss 2.0
>>570402448Really good fanart
>>570405420Oh, that's maybe promising then.
>>570405269>>570405420Keep in mind Japan considers basically anything that isnt literally turn based "action combat", likely including current Xenoblade games.

Eleanor and Cain
>>570409539this will be them during timeskiptrust the plan
>>570409353Would virgin pink elf pussy make him act unwise?
>>570403959I think the problem isn't the trivial effort. Most JRPGs you can outlevel by wasting time doing boring battles. Xenoblade outlevels you by doing what you actually want to do, which is sidequests. I think 2's way of doing things where you can choose to not use your sidequest EXP is good enough. I think a lot of people think Xenoblade is grindy (need to do sidequests) is because the game does a terrible job at explaining the way it works, so facerolling the controller while overleveled is the only way most people know how to beat the games.
i dont trust piggers
>>570409539I played all 3 Xenosaga all throughout my high school years, but now remember absolutely nothing about them beyond Albedo and Jr.(Rubedo) being super weapons, Momo being a doll or something, Kos-mos being Mary (??) and Shion being (intentionally a mess) of a character with Allen cooming to her. Also Margulis had a great battle theme. I'm tempted to replay them but I'd probably not like them as much nowadays.
>>570412526Don't worry I played them all a couple of years ago and I also remember only that.
>>570409325That’s what the six suns are bro, people who are forever falling through the middle of the world.
>>570412526my favorite part of the series still probably was the very start given the atmosphere where you literally had nothing to defend yourself with inside the spaceship as shion when the gnosis attack
