Gears/Saga/Blade Genesis trailer imminent
Xeno a shit
xeno means boob in spanish
>>4064823accurate for blade 2 then
I think these threads would be better if we posted more softcore pornography
>>4064823It means shit everywhere else
>>4064757>Genesis trailer imminentBecause of the September direct or Because Nintendo will drop a trailer on Twitter or Nintendo Today?
>>4065893sept
>Eleanor : Sword>NotKevin : Sword>Miyabi 2 : Bow>Garcher : Probably a Sword>Elf bitch : TWO Swords.>Not Billy : GunsXenosword Swordnesis.
>>4066398Isn't there some miko-type not!Haze with a magic staff? Also I think the guy on the dragon has small axes.
>>4066398I thought the main guy was a fist fighter
>>4066540Nah, dragon boy has a rifle on his back and a small pistol on his waist.
Why is class levelling so fucking slow in X? Are there anyway to speed it up? Or its just me who was spoiled by Xenoblade 3's job system?
>>4066568There are only 3 main paths that diverge once, you're not meant to be hopping classes like a job system game
>>4064757Xenoblade is trash. I miss when Monolith Soft actually put in effort.
>>4069804It’s hard to put effort into shit
Just finished chapter 13 of Xenoblade X:DE and I gotta say, people were right to hate the added chapter. I don't even know where to begin. I went back and read old fan's reactions and everything mentioned were pretty much how I felt so I guess I'll start with the few things I did liked. I liked the new map you got to explore. Had this FFXIII cocoon vibe. Wish I had known to stay in that area to farm skell weapons otherwise I'd have to slow grind or do all over chapter 13 again. That was about it honestly. Chapter 13 was just that bad. Didn't mind Al too much because it felt like they wrote him like a Marvel character which I guess fits the sitting. I stuck with the dub because it was meme worthy back on the WiiU and I liked a couple of the voices in english but sadly in DE they changed some voices and some had lack luster performance like they were phoning their lines in over the phone where the audio quality was all over the place which made me regret sticking with the dub. But back to chapter 13.The main villain Void has got to be one of the dumbest shoe horned villain out of any rpg. His entire motives make Z and his cronies look intelligent. After reading all the old fan reactions, my biggest gripe really is this chapter was super rushed just so it can merge all the Xenoblade game world by destroying the previous world. I'd hate to see what a future Xenosaga episode 4 is going to be like trying to merge literally EVERYTHING Xeno then destroying everything before it just to Fei, Rex, and Shulk can play Kingdom Hearts in space.
>>4064931I prefer Blade 3.>That little jiggle on Mio's chest.>That crazy jiggle on Miyabi's perflat manchest.>O.Eunie's giant monster boobies.Priceless.
>>4070281Chapter 13 exists to close out X's story, not fix or enhance it. Black knight never ever
>>4070422>exists to closeRetarded way to close it then.
Kinda wild it took until 3 to introduce party member switching.
>>4071488I really wish Genesis keeps these things from 3:>Playable character switching mid-combat>Water combat>Posable buff/debuff AoEs
>>4069804ur ghey
>>4071239fitting conclusion following the base game's narrative. They reused X's story concepts in 3 anyway. >>4071719character switching is a pandora's box mechanic, there's no going back from it. I don't see why they'd remove combat in water. Buffing and debuffing/aoes tend to change around with each game so we'll see
>>4071719Well, it kept the party of 6 and that chinese looking lady looks like a hero.
>>4071488They needed FF7R to show them the way, same for the transitions from cutscenes to combat (hopefully they're entirely seamless in the SW2 version)
>>40721613 was deep into development when 7R released
This thread needs more Eunie fat fucking ass
>>4070281>dub
>>4078718I prefet 3's girls over 2's. *DADUM*
Its too bad CHOCO won't be collaborating for Genesis.
>>4078855I agree
>>4079306They'll announce him as the artist when they reveal the mechs. Also im pretty sure that ouroboros looking character in the trailer is by him
>>4079408PALOW. is the other main artist for the game and it's widely assumed that she's doing the mech designs. The one in the Genesis trailer looks like her style, and she did the design of Ino.
>>4079477They seems to love BLAME!
>>4080372Who can BLAME! them?
>>4079306Source?
Monolith Soft worked on the Ocarina of Time remake?Did they hire this man?
>>4064757>Genesis trailer imminent>Nintendo Switch 2 exclusiveAny chances it'll be ported to pc before switch 2 emulation will make it playable on pc anyway?
>>4085738Yeah, just as soon as that Mario 3D World x PS4 bundle releases...
I'm going in with lower expectations for tomorrow based on the fact that the Summer Direct was only a few months ago and the Direct seems a bit too packed enough for a Xeno trailer.XB3 on SW2 drops in December as well, they might want to hold off now for marketing synergy.
THE MYTHRA BRAT...EXIST!!!!
Shimmer......................
>Three daughtersKevesi men victims
>>4087183>Rex named his kids Glimmer, Shimmer and Mio
>>4087431>*Kagiroi, Kaguya and Mio
>>4087542>KaKaMio
Her jp trailer had the City's logo for her Chain Attack. Her weapon does have a clock, but I can't see her terms marks. She is defo an outlier to Aionos' system.
>>4087716She has Nia’s hair as expected.I wonder if she’s going to be a bit feral as the personalities rotated.Mio was like Pyra/hair bobGlimmer was like Mythra/Long hairShimmer was Nia?/short bob
>>4088232>She has Nia’s hair as expectedShe does not.
Xenosaga 3 finished.Definitely the best of the bunch even though I hated the time travel part.On to Xenoblade next
>>4090936>she is free from shitHappiest you ever see her
>>4090936>time travel
>>4090936>hated the time travel part.Anon it's not time travel
>>4091727>>4092050It's not technically time travel but it was an excuse to have the characters interact with shit from 15 years ago without any real consequences to the timeline and it was barely explained beyond "we need this for Abel's Ark to appear again".Either way I didn't like it.
>>4092190The point was to make abel's ark appear, which is a huge story moment. Altering the timeline or whatever is irrelevant
>>4092393The Ark had already appeared at the end of 2 and just disappeared again with the Zohar. It reapparing again again for 3's climax is totally arbitrary, does not feel like a "huge story moment", and it's not really connected to the flashback stuff in any logical sense, that's just an excuse they give because they really wanted to show what happened but still wanted those parts to be playable I guess. Very convuluted in a bad way.
>>4092553Rewatch that segment because it's necessary for the characters to be there to "summon" the ark
>>4092753I'm aware, there is no reason for it being "necessary" other than an excuse for the whole thing to happen in the first place. Shion sure didn't need to meet her past self for the Ark to appear in 2. I don't get why the Ark, which is basically U-DO's form in this world from what I understand, would need that in the first place. And how they were able to recreate all those past events in the present is never explained either.
>>4090936Should just quit while you're ahead. It's all downhill going forward.
>>4093080Shit never left sea bottom
>>4093024>It was unnecessary to reveal what happened during the miltia incident to the party
>>4094044Never said that, but revealing it through pseudo-time travel where they try to affect the events but it still ends up being the same just made it annoying more than anything. Unironically just let Shion watch things play out as a movie while you play as another character who was actually there at the time (like young Shion) and I'd have no issue with it.
>>4094250Actually alternatively, Shion being stuck in her younger self's body, powerless to change things and reliving and remembering her trauma would also be a hell of a lot more interesting than the weird alternate chain of events that didn't actually change anything important that they went with.
>>4093080the worst xenoblade is still better than XS
>>4094666And all are better than XG
>>4094712Oh dear
I want to lick Mythra’s sweaty armpits so fucking bad
>>4094666Experience with both series tells me this is a blatant lie.
>>4095311Blades don't sweat.
Do the Blades from XBX have anything to do with the ones from the numbered entries?
>>4096156No, BLADE in X is a military organization, Blades in Xenoblade 2 are artificial lifeforms.
>>4096099The aegis is special, it tastes like honey
>>4097457Funny for a series made of shit.
>See genesis on /v/>Me, clueless : "Did we have any news?">The thread "Ahaha we Tortaniced Fire Emblem, lets pick another target, amirite veee?"Election tourists were a mistake.
>>4098546desu while I quite like both series they have some of the most consistently awful threads and considering just how bad /v/ is that's saying something
>>4098546/v/ isn’t a video game board anymore, it’s just another brown third world /pol/nigger containment zone
>>4106458people forget the /v/ spinoffs boards like this one were made specifically to make /v/ the containment board
>>4106613ALL of Chan is a containment board. It’s one of the Seals.
Its odd that we only have three elements in Genesis trailer. Maybe they represent the roles? The healer looking girl seems to use wind.
>>4107664Eleanor's element being darkness? That's certainly unique for the main heroine
>>4107754I am pretty sure she had a flame aura when she L7 the monster. But then again, one of the plot point is her being able to use magic without the stones, so maybe her protagonist privilege would be to not have a set role/element and a greater freedom of customisation?
>>4064757Please explain this reference.
>>4107891It's a Zero Escapes/nonary games reference
>>4107864I thought they were talking about the dual-wielding totally-not-gonna-join-your-party-b-baka fire rival character when they were talking about "her" not needing a stone to channel Anima? Why would they make a big deal of giving Eleanor a stone and show her learn how to master its power in the trailer if she doesn't need a stone?
>>4107891Greatest villain in gaming history
>>4108539>Why would they make a big deal of giving Eleanor a stone and show her learn how to master its power in the trailer if she doesn't need a stone?Protag privilege, like how Shulk had a level scaling weapon or Rex could use every blades after a certain chapter.
>>4064757Fuck, I just want a game with playable XC1/2/3 aesthetic mecha. Numbered Chronicles entries may as well be the biggest case of mecha blue balling, if not straight up involuntary nonpiloting. Casting away mecha at the end of Saga (and making your meatbags fight their mangled remains as a final boss too as a nice fuck you to the player (me specifically), I've had Erde Kaiser one hit that thing back into oblivion) and focus the gameplay striclty on running around as meatbags exclusively is probably the worst case of a franchise gutting itself from one thing that actually interested me in it. Faced mechons looked great. Artifices were awesome. Some of the Kevesi mecha designs were straight up fantastic. And all (well, most of) those are manned units, piloted strictly by characters other than player ones. 3 rubs it in extra well, not only are mecha so common place you see them at nearly every location in the game, you also get one of those hero characters, the girl with very stylish handlebars, to tag along with the party piloting one of her own while the main party is stuck with, admittedly not terrible looking, diet version of ultramen only accessible via a fusion dance and usable for just a few minutes at a time that also only do cool stuff in cutscenes instead of the actual gameplay. And don't even start me on the cutscenes, Gundam Fighter duels, castles doing Macross transformations, City pulling off a yet another last moment hidden Zeon prototype unit, flying around punching walls just to give Big Ghondor and Little Ghondor (what fucking Ghondor names their child Ghondor?) more screentime. All of that so the protags can wail their skinny arms with no regerts at what's barely even constitutes as a villain doing his best Andross impression.1/2
>>4108733And then you have X, where, despite there being playable mecha, you may as well play through the most of the game without using any and even if you do, they don't even get to appear in the cutscenes, it's always your fauxmeatbags standing around. And the playable mecha designs in X may as well be aestheticaly weakest in the series too, with the tacky extra parts used for borderline useless land vehicle transformations that are immediately rendered obsolete the moment you unlock flight modules while most of the enemy units have this sweet, sleek look, with no unnecessary bits to uselessly fatten them up and mess with the silhouettes. Only Hraesvelg has a functionally useful transformation, it being a flight unit and thus not weighed down by gravity of awkward, unnecessary ballast but that's to be expected as the mecha itself was supposed to be, I assume, yet another supa speshul hyper stylized npc only unit that only got playable as a happy accident or perhaps as a way of apologizing to the player for not actually finishing the story as it was originally intended but opting to forcefully close it just to get it all over with. Well, whatever. It is what it is. But still, fuck you to whoever decided for these games to not only stop having playable mecha but also have npcs wave their big huge non playable dicks around by keeping theirs. Sincerely, fuck (You).2/2 RANT:END
Retard who's been asleep for a while here, how do the switch 2 versions of the trilogy work? Are they DLC for the switch 1 versions that use my existing save file or are they their own distinct thing and require replaying the whole game? I skipped out on 1+2 switch 2 eds because playing them for the 3rd or 4th time didn't seem worth the additions, but I want to get 3 for the third sister.
>>4108733>>4108735Yeah, it was extremely disappointing that XBC3 advertised cool mechas but you didn't get to pilot them. Right now only the Trails series is scratching that mecha itch, and even then the recent entries only have a couple fights per game instead of the several that we got in the Cold Steel arc.
Rex had a huge growth spurt
>>4109337Not surprising given that he was practically a toddler during the events of his original game, as seems to be the trend in jp media.
>>4109197They're just performance patches that makes the games run much better and they keep your save files intact
>>4109454thanks anon
>>4109337>When the husband has bigger tiddies.
>>4109337I hope one day Takahashi will let us see Milfthra
>>4064757So, a question about the ending of XBC3. Why did the worlds separate again? The way the Origin was portrayed seemed to me like it was supposed to use the preserved data from both to make them whole. Does Future Redeemed explain that or is it just some handwaived anime bullshit to elicit an emotional response or something?
>>4112980Origin is designed as an ark for both worlds, correct. However, it is also designed to activate just before the worlds fully merge. The corruption of Origin led to the events of Aionios in a seemingly timeless pocket dimension. Ouroboros's victory finally allowed Origin to be rebooted. This required purging the ark and returning all the souls/data back to their respective worlds. However, this is only for at most an hour or two. The merger then restarts, which is confirmed in the ending of Future Redeemed with the reformation of "Earth" back in its proper plane of existence.
>>4112980they merge after separating in FR's ending which is extended from the base game's. Also kos mos maybe idk
So I just played Xenosaga Ep I and I am probably not gonna play II and III but does anyone wanna make me second guess this decision or am I making the right call
>>41131893 is great, don't bother playing 2 just watch the story on youtube and maybe the datalogs on a wiki. Also watch a translated pied piper/missing year
>>4112980Basically, they have to separate again to not self destroy. However, its heavily implied they would join again, notably by kid Noah hearing and recognizing the Agnus tune, and the Kevesi tune starting playing after he disappear.Then FR show that indeed, they fused again.And the WW2 is joining them as a bonus.
>>4113189Your loss. The Xenosaga trilogy was the last time we got good games out of this studio.
>>4113189I wouldn't know, I just watched through the quote unquote cutscene movies of I and II on yt and then played through III. I swear to U-DO, they made Shion into such a hysterical bitch, it made me develop a Pavlovian response of wanting to punch the screen whenever she appeared in a cutscene. Easily the most annoying female main character I had displeasure experiencing. Probably the most accurate portrayal of a woman in a video game too, sadly. The game was fine though, even if the ending was shit.
>>4112759Kinda like wiping an ass
>>4113475The first half of I was promising, I thought they were gonna make Shion into one of those emotionless scientific autistic smart women, too bad they went the other way sadly
>>4113826>one of those emotionless scientific autistic smart womenI'd rather she'd been one of those too.
>>4113826>one of those emotionless scientific autistic smart womenBased I loved Nenio
>Xenoblade 3 has Mio, Glimmer, Shimmer, Masha + Rinka and maybe Ino and they are all related to 2's party.>Xenoblade 1 gets Riku, Nikol and PanaceaI am tired of 2wank...
>>4118573Half of FR is XC1 with tiny amounts of 2 sprinkled in
