X>2

I heard that getting a Skells kinda ruins the experience, but tbqh Skells only enhanced the experience for me. Does anyone else feel that way or it's just me?

that's why I've already jumped off this ride long ago.
They will never make a game like X ever again, not in gameplay, artstyle or amount of content.

X was peak Monolith Soft, it's all downhill mass appeal shovelware from here

Skells feel like a cheat code, you can fly anywhere, go super fast, and be overpowered as fuck.

But that doesn't mean that they ruin the game. It takes quite a while to get a skell, so you should have experienced most of mira before you even get one

You can't fool me OP I know this is Jay-Marvel.

My idea is that if you explored everywhere or almost everywhere you could before getting one then it enhances the experience, but if you get one when you haven't explored a whole lot then it hampers the experience.

the lack of proper highly detailed 3D mecha games that don't look like cell shaded garbage or hyperealistic westernized tanks is primarily the ready why I enjoy the mech despite the shit controls and gameplay.

Bought the saga trilogy yesterday for the ps2.
A like new copy of episode 3 for $50.

Gonna enjoy them when they arrive in about a week.
Never really played them back then, only a bit of 1 and got bored.
I was still a young teen back then though and loved blade2 so I really want to play them now.

The whole reason I played the game was to get in the damn skell.

Well, in my case, I think that Skells are cool to ride on and adds to the visual aesthetics of Mira. And while I prefer to walk on foot during exploration, it's still fun to explore with Skells for me. Custom colors is also a plus for me.

Monolonith worka many project at the same time, Xeno 2 started development when X was close to finish, and they do have multiple teams. I think they will focus on their new IP if that still going, and I am very sure a X port will be needed before a sequel, but I am sure that it is coming eventually. Nintendo keep suporting Bayonetta even after it's low sales on Wii U, and now that Xenoblade (as the IP) is hot on Switch, they will no doubt in keeping the support to the franchise.

>Xeno Warriors
Hopes
>Rare Blades are implemented by giving each XB2 Driver access to certain generic weapon types, letting them implement lots of Rare Blades as custom weapon skins (ie Morag gets the Katanas including Aegaeon, Corwin, Theory, Zeke gets the Rayguns)
>Mechs are a mechanic; some characters have set mechs (ie Fiora & Face Nemesis, Mumkhar & Metal Face). Relatively fewer XCX characters but to make up for it they have an equal amount of skells to pick from
>Officer type units are Drivers with Blades, mech pilots and Unique Monster/Tyrants (ie Territorial Rotbart is the Lu Bu)
>costumes for characters, lots of support conversations across games including some Rare Blade ones
>DLC is fan favorites, Gears/Saga cameos (SQ willing) and some far left stuff like Vangarre/VandhamX who have conversations with Vandham2 & Roc

Expectations
>Shulk, Fiora, Elma are the XB1/X reps
>the rest is XB2
>all the Rare Blades are the director's favorites, several notable omissions

>wanna replay x?
did you play it on a wii u or emulate it? If wii u then you could play XC1 on the vc

Just emulate 1.

I still imagine all the Rare Blades following behind like in XB2 and having their own special attack animations but I'm also trying to imagine how KT could make clones/copy-pastes work in their favor. I'm still burnt about how FEW went about it.

It's not so much the quantity as it is how upfront the game is with it all, imo. X also had fanservice but it was never the default and you didn't start the game with all the skimpy outfits.

Nope.

Attached: 1527185400181.jpg (540x960, 112K)

i think some of the blades do get a little too fanservicy but nothing too bad if you ask me
Complaining about Dahlia i get but the people who complain about Pyra are a little ridiculous

I wanna try xenoblade 1, but I refuse to play long ass jrpgs on a handheld, and I ain't getting an old ass waggle machine for one game.
And X on the wiiu, just no.

And no you cocksuckers I ain't emulating it, got tired of doing that shit a long time ago.

They already said they were going too

I still love how some of the skimpier armors were explicitly said to be inspired by anime in their item descriptions.

Yeah I understand that. That's actually one of the reasons i could really see a Xeno warriors game (aside from the director of the warriors game saying he'd like to see xeno warriors)
The clones really didn't work in FEW but i think XW would be able to get away with it

Guess you'll have to wait then, bucko

Nigger what? The only cringe moments were Lin and the horrible food jokes that went on the entire game, and that is mostly bad Japanese humor.

Attached: potato.jpg (474x700, 45K)

It didn't bug me as much as I thought it would, but I would still prefer if they'd go back to having customizable armor in the next games. Give me a good mix of lewd shit I can put the characters in when I'm just doing random side shit, and reasonable outfits to use for the main story.

What could they do to enhance the Skell experience if a sequel was ever made? Would we want an overhaul to Skell mechanics so it was more like grounded combat? Missions specifically tailored to using Skells? Having scenarios where party members are both on foot and using Skells?

People wouldn't complain nearly as much about fanservice if Pyra was a B cup

How did this game get away with a T rating?

>the Manon admit to watching a ton of anime to get the looks of the designs right
>said designs resemble school uniforms more than anything so it's likely they were watching high school FotM shit
>had to revise their male armor designs because they were told not to have male bits hang out the same way female bits were hanging out
Seeing the different ways xenos appreciate human culture is some shit. The super advanced manon just binge on junk food culture, meanwhile the zaruboggan eat garbage up and the prone think we're strategical geniuses.

I am very disappointed not being able to fly with my skell after doing that dumb loicense quest and read that you get to fly it in chapter 9. Fuck, I only wanted to fly with my fucking robot Jesus fuck.

Skells just need more mechanics that make them feel like they take planning to use. Ground combat had the class system, the two weapons with arts tied to them, secondary/tertiary cooldowns, etc.

Make a bigger deal out of things like breaking appendages like XB2's seal system (so players both want to take advantage of breaking an enemy limb to prevent an attack/lower stats while avoiding the same happening to their skell), encourage more mixed parties with cross skell-onfoot arts (ie a skell weapon that boosts on-foot power, on-foot weapons that help stabilize or repair skells etc. Something like that mech gun Citan made in Xenogears that fires the pilot as a bullet would make an amazing superweapon especially if you could use an attack art while being fired.

I'm about to finish Xenoblade 1. I've enjoyed it in general but my god the battle system. Has a shittier battle system ever been implemented in a JRPG?
>few levels below the target? you miss every single hit
>few levels above the target? you can just auto attack and the AI will not let you die and quickly kill anything
>you somehow were able to land a hit on a tough higher level enemy by stacking Agility bonuses and are ready to execute that cool strat you've been planning to beat him with? Well prepare for your party members' AI to completely shit the bed nine out of ten tries by having your tank not pull aggro despite his abilities being available or the healer/dd spamming heals/damage even if they already drew aggro
It's like the ONLY strategy in this game is in party building, and the party building system is really solid, but FUCK ME THE FUCKING MENUS.
>every single screen takes at least 2 seconds to load
>every piece of equipment shows in the default sort for every single character, even if it's unusable
>lots of useful sorts are missing. want to equip the same gems you had on your old equipment to the new one? well fuck you, there's no sort for that, enjoy going through your 10 pages of gems
>selecting equipment in shops ONLY gives you the end stats BEFORE GEMS. wanna know how much more def this armor really has? please go out of the shop, unequip any gem it has attached and write down how much def it had before because we're only telling you whether it's higher or lower. hope you don't mess up and buy an armor with 1 more def but -50 ether def
and the worst part is I'm 165 hours in and loving it. only a couple quests and the super bosses left. for all the shit you have to endure with the combat, the huge open ended areas and dynamic enemy behaviors with great variety make for amazing adventures
Are these things fixed at all in X or 2? If not I might drop the series right here and go back to the older Xeno games instead.

Makes me question the decision to have the gacha. I'd rather just have done a playthrough with the Blades I liked if they're not going to be worth using when I finally roll them 100 hours in.

>liked XCX
>didn't like X2

Would I like the first game? I skipped it when it came out, don't know why. XCX was flawed as fuck but the exploration, side missions, skells and general gameplay were pretty damn fun. X2's combat too the MMO style too far and was boring as fuck, plus the game was overall too anime uguu otaku for me. Even as somebody who likes anime and some weeb shit it still felt cringe.

Is the first game more like XCX or 2? Only thing I know about it is the graphic style looks kind of ugly and dated like a proto-XCX look, but that can be overlooked.

As a fictional race, I really like Nopon. I wish they could be in more things. Is that weird?

Both X and 2 are fairly party/preparement based, there's not so much you can do during a fight to change the outcome. X at least has even better exploration.

Sort of like a simplified version of X's combat with more defined roles for each party member, with X2's more story based approach that masks it's tropes much better.

>thunderloli in E
This is NOT okay!!!

XCX is still mmo combat, still anime, but not as uguu. Plus it has Dunban.

Attached: 1525907753001.jpg (800x1280, 384K)

>XCX
>Dunban
What?

Basically all that shit was improved in XC2
especially the combat. All that shit with the agility and always missing enemies that are higher level was completely done away with. XC1's exploration is probably better though but the changes to the combat were enough to make me feel XC2>XC1

I meant XC

Attached: 1537685028883.jpg (406x540, 131K)

Hard to say, I think both 1 and X are more enjoyable than 2 though. You should give it a shot

Shield hammers are a bad weapon type, user. The tier list is for postgame usage anyways. Pandoria is definitely not S tier before you get the Eye of Shining Justice.

Melia is so cute. Why did shulk hate her so much?

lil nopon fella

>Hate her.
Excuse me, what? You didn't even play the game if you are saying this bullshit.

level 81 monkeh fella

just stompin' about gaur plains like he owns the place

As someone who has watched a good amount of anime i never felt like XC2 was too uguu.
It certainly has it's cringe moments and it's tropes but it only has like 20 minutes max out of 14 hours of cutscenes i would classify as strong otaku pandering.
I get it if you're comparing it to XC1 or X or XS and XG but compared to persona or pretty much any anime XC2 has very few weeb scenes. That's just my 2 cents though

>have to play shitty minigame to upgrade Poppi

what a stupid idea

>Pandoria is definitely not S tier before you get the Eye of Shining Justice.
Had to google this cause I've just played through the game once.
Honestly I don't have much interest in NG+ since you're basically an unkillable god for half the game in that mode.
It's a shame they locked so much stuff behind NG+.

I don't like either Pyra or Fiora. I enjoyed both XB1 and 2 more when they were absent; Fiora dying was the only interesting thing she did and my enjoyment of XB2 plummeted when they tried pushing Rex and Pyra together like Fei and Elly with none of the build-up or chemistry.

Elma at least has a nice design and you can enjoy the best parts of the game after kicking her out of your party.

tell me there are webms of this...

Oh yeah that scene was weird, at least for Mumkhar. The scene with Egil was pure kino

>does anyone LIKE pyra?
>let's "beg father to let us die"

Shulk, Rex, Fiora and Pyra are all in the same category for me - main characters/love interests that I find likable enough, but still think are some of the least interesting characters in their games.
I don't understand the people who love them, and I don't understand the people who hate them either.

I would say you have to make it clear that Rex is not indecisive about his feelings toward her and the future relationship with her.
Nia also needs to show that she is ok with how things goes. Kinda like a true cuck.

Also, he's said many time he doesn't like JRPGs in general

Have them bond over minge shaving.

The central theme of the story is Nia looking to decide on her place in the world as a whole, but she can't really do that until she's gotten closure on her relationship with Rex, whom she's sort of been avoiding in the time since the end of the game because it's been too awkward. She's not talking to him expecting him to suddenly fall for her, she just wants to address the elephant in the room so they can be good friends again.

I hate that I'm doing this as a serious story and I can't take advantage of the fact that the game is in the real world for fourth wall breaks

Is there a way to get them faster? I’m on chapter 5 and I’m getting frustrated the fuck out of the encounters. I need to get somewhere, not get shot literally three times by Metal Gear Pugilist and fall over because my team can’t revive me (for some reason only Lao can) and restart all the way over to some arbitrary spot that I sort of discovered from the edge of the hexagon. Sure, it’s really fun to just walk around with your team and shit but holy fuck is it inconvenient to have to literally go around buttes and whole waterfalls. I just wanna fly or at least drive already.
I also can’t get a grasp on combat aside from building TP to get the auras then get behind enemies and poke them. Then there’s the overdrive stuff that I can only kind of guess what I’m doing right. Full Metal Jaguar btw.

Also, are the definitions for “blades” different for every game? I never bothered with XC1 so what was it there? The Monado?

Xenoblade 1 never ever uses the phrase "blade". The Monado only became one retroactively through XB2's twist of the games being in parallel universes

I disagree with Kora specifically because she was what let me clear Gladiator Orion when I ran through the game the first time.

the true human tragedy that xenoblade 2 asks us to confront is the possibility that three ageless weapon babes are all desperately attracted to a retarded kid who doesn't understand love and runs from it

Did you have fun for the most part? I want to go back after I finish X. I dropped it after 2 tries and 5 hours of sleeping through it. I realized it just wasn’t the game for me. Then I played X expecting I would hate the combat and just rush for the skells. Probably the most time I’ve ever spent in a JRPG ever, shit’s cash man.

of course i love you pyra! i love you and gramps and poppi!

I played Xenoblade 1 eternally underleveled because I never touched side quests and almost never explored. I simply went from one of the main story objectives to the next, getting into absurd bosses that were 10 levels higher than me, and pulling through each of them in a constant state of "your party will die in 12 seconds" visions the entire time.
I never explored or did any content outside of the main story, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I had so much damn fun getting stuck on fights I was clearly not built for. It was one of the hardest games I've ever played, and I'd probably have hated if it I played it as it was intended, since JRPGs are definitely not my thing.

The lifespans in XC2 are inconsistent as fuck. Being a blade eater gave Mikhail apparent immortality. Does Zeke have it too? Could Pyra re-fuse her crystal with Rex to have him live forever?

You need 3000TP to revive someone. You can press + during battle to open a combat menu where you can give orders to your party like "melee only", "on me", "focus on enemy". The conserve TP command should mean they'll keep TP to revive you instead of wasting it on auras.

For Overdrive, the order & color of arts you use matters.
xenoblade.fandom.com/wiki/Overdrive_(XCX)#Overdrive_mechanics_during_battle
Basically, you want to get the OD Count up early so you can make it sustainable; you can reactivate Overdrive DURING Overdrive to get more time in addition to using arts to extend your duration. Each attack during OD increases the count.

So Green into a multi-hit Purple/Yellow/Orange is good, because that doubles your OD Count per hit. Multi-hit purples are also good because you get TP each time a purple art hits. The earliest infinite OD build I made was during the final boss, where I just used lots of secondary cooldown accelerators to chain a healing art into itself for lots of time. Since you're a Full Metal Jaguar, a green art into sliding slinger and a low-cooldown/multiple-recast purple art like Side Slash should help a lot.

They mean get items from treasure deals to sell, you're right that you can't touch hired party member's gear. Of course this depends on the online community actively sending out treasure deals.

Treasure deals are the item offers in the top left that sometimes pop up; you press minus while they're on screen if you'd like the item.

>The only thing I got out of XC was two colossi fighting then they died. Then people somehow started living there
The end of XC1 shows you that the universe of the Bionis/Mechonis was created as the result of a botched science experiment in the "real" world. XC2 occurs in the "real" world along that same timeline, simulataneously with Xenoblade 2. The final boss fight features a cameo line from Shulk during his own final boss figh to highlight this

Hope they reveal their next game soon so I'll have something to look forward to. Also Nintendo not stealing all their devs this time.

Attached: elma looking at human porn.jpg (369x340, 88K)

Nope, how it works in XBCX is when you get a drop you have the option to treasure deal it. This creates a prompt that everyone in the squad can see where they can enter a raffle (no charge) to get the item and a random person gets it. It's treated like any other item. The balance comes from the fact you need to be a certain level to use items so you can't use endgame gear at the start of the game.

But that doesn't stop you from selling said gear for larges amounts of credits. Pic related, a bunch of end game swords I got from treasure deals.

Zeke should have Mikhail's level of immortality since both of them were operated on by Amalthus presumably using similar methods, and Mikhail was merely an experiment. Though Mikhail being alive despite the blade his core crystal belongs to being nowhere to be seen implies that Blade Eaters don't have their life tied to their blade, unlike Rex and Pyra.
Pyra did fuse her core crystal with Rex at the end when she went to sacrifice herself to save the party, causing the core crystal to become whole but inert. Whether that gave Rex a blade's lifespan is something impossible to tell.

Flesh Eaters had really well balanced strengths and weakness, but Blade Eaters are OP as fuck. Heavier benefits with no real drawbacks

Thanks screen capping this. I use the two back attacks since they do a fuck ton of damage, but there’s a lot of downtime and I basically just hop about until sliding slinger is ready. Is there any use to having the forced animation gun attack? I feel like 8/10 times it just aggros big fucken crabs and it’s basically just taking up a spot in my bar.
What’s potential? And should I focus more on raw defense and resistances rather than attributes on my armour like resist:Stagger IV?

So you're just fishing for attention then. Here ya go

They're OP, but only if it works. A lot of them failed or look like Armless McBritbong

>What kind of titan will Pyra and Mythra become then?
They're processors, they were never designed with that in mind like the other blades were.
Amalthus is shown putting a whole core crystal in a guy's chest in Mikhail's flashback, so I think the implication is that Mik got a blade's core crystal while it was in a core state (which basically turned him into a blade), whereas Zeke got part of Pandy's core (while she was already in resonance with him), which saved his life and possibly powered him up a bit, but didn't seem to do much else.
So the rules for Zeke might be fairly different.

I’ve only gotten two from that CEO probe tutorial lady, never seen another one in the 20 hours I’ve spent out in the wild.
Most of the time my lifehold squad are on the same level as me so they probably won’t treasure deal anything. Thank you for the info tho, I’ll know what to do when the time comes.

You'll want to switch to conquest, also you can change squads are well so if it doesn't look like anything is happening, you can change.

Also see if you can do any of the squad tasks or missions depending on your level, the tickets and materials help in the long run.

The downside is miiverse was tied to the squad chat in game so you can't communicate with people.

>Xenogears
>Xenosaga
>Xenoblade

What Xeno(suffix) should Monolith create after the Xenoblade series has ended?

Potential is a stat that affects healing strength and TP Art strength. So basically to do lots of damage, you want to boost your potential and use attacks that require 1000TP.

For surviability, focus on resistances for whatever foe you're fighting. Resisting specific status conditions usually depends on the enemy.

They haven’t even made a sequel to tie X to 1 and 2, though.
I don’t really understand why there is no traditional healing, aside from a the first class or so. Was it done to make the combat more aggressive and less time to focus on healing and defending?
And is enemy level a big variable against defeating it? I’m trying to get ONE (1) Wise Apricot horn or whatever and they just shoot beams or whatever and kill me in two hits. I’m 20 and it’s 30. I’m hoping I could beat it by straight defense and resistance or maybe even with a Skell.

Come on man now I have to report you

You can fight uphill against higher level enemies but it's very dependant on knowing what resistances you need (to deal more damage against it, to take less damage etc). If you have 100% resistance to an element, you only take 1 damage from that element.

The Mastermind class has plenty of healing but mostly you use Soul Voices to heal. It's meant to let you play without having a traditional healer.

There is no sense of inmersion in XCX, maybe I should have played this first instead of BotW because after the latter XCX exploration just feels repetitive and sometimes annoying. Anyway, with the dolls you are finally able to access every part of the map so I don't see why it could ruin the "experience". And to the people saying that they are overpowered, the best builds are still on foot, people with 200+ hours fight the world threats on foot not with dolls.

I want to be stuck on Elma's different planet.

Cheers lad.
Those wings are overdesigned as fuck.
Head is pretty cool though.

Only for the original experiements. Almathus did all that shit so that he wouldn't end up fucked up for no reason. It seems he realized that taking part of an already active Blade core and grafting it onto a human was the better option. Not only did it give him access to all of Haze's power, but made him immortal and wasn't even tied to a Blade. When Haze died, nothing happened to him. So Zeke pretty much gets major benefits. While Pandoria might eventually die if her core gets damaged.

I would imagine the shared load of information was a factor, with a whole core you are hoping that the body can handle all of the same shit that a Blade body usually does and was made for. Once the body gets use to it, they don't have to worry as much and only start to mutate if they insert more cores. I wonder if age is also a factor, as Mik survived because he was young, rather then some random chance. He also said that all of the experiments were disposed of though, success or not. So maybe there were a lot of Blade Eaters that would have lived.

I beat every major boss except the headless emperor (beam saber/raygun infinite overdrive reflect: all for that one) using a Lailah Queen. Ether blossom is fucking gay.

I'm not sure I understand this expression.

Attached: elma no comprende.gif (300x340, 1.65M)

While I'm fine with the blades being a bit goofy, some of them are honestly just stupid. I'm fine with fanservice, but when it consistently clashes with the game's overall aesthetic it does bug me.

Didn't Amalthus also have hundreds of cores from other blades in his weird tentacle form?

Pretty accurate, though some should be a rank higher, while only a few should be a rank lower. Like Gorg. Honestly I feel like Godfry should be in a tier all his own for how bad he is.

Yes, which is why I said

>only start to mutate if they insert more cores
Probably went too fast on it too. You could probably get away with it if you did one insert every few years. Honestly it's more surprising that Amalthus even looked anywhere close to human, considering what happened with the others.

Yeah, real shame with him. They pretty much wanted you to ditch him as soon as you could. He's got some ok skills and his level 2 provided me with some nice early game healing when I needed it, but everything else was just WAY better. I think I ended up using Kora more then him for my second run of the game when I realized how to effectively play Nia.

I wish he got some kind of side quest late upgrade or something that would have made him more viable. It's just a shame when every other story blade is that much better then him and the game wants you to cast him aside to use Nia.

There was a quest focusing on him at one point, IIRC the dialogue was fully translated for it and everything. They just didn't use it for whatever reason.

Might have run out of time to implement it, or they might have thought that it wasn't worth it since they were already trying to usher you away from him. We will probably never know.

Even then you really only needed roc for that if there were absolutely no blades on anyone else with a smash, which is pretty damn unlikely outside of the very early game, and the game is pretty good with switching ai controlled members blades around to continue combos.

I rarely used roc even if I did control rex for most of the game cause I just didn't need him for smash most of the time.

You could always just buy 1 on the wii u eshop.

Five bucks says they turn Xenoblade X into a Phantasy Star like MMO.

Can I do a bringer of chaos run from NG or does it have to be NG+?

I don't understand when people say 1 had better exploration than 2, it's just areas without any verticality and bosses. Lack of X's engine fucks it up

I remember really loving the combat in xenosaga 1 and wishing they expanded on it
And then xenosaga 2 came out.
Man, why can't more turn based rpgs have cool mechanics

You can do it from a fresh file, just be prepared for the game to fuck you hard.

not having field skills helps 1's exploration a lot. it definitely had more/bigger areas, and I feel like the secret areas were also a lot better.
and not having the entire map available from the start made exploring more interesting. maybe that's just me though.

Does NG+ have enough new content to keep the game feeling fresh or is it just made for people who want more of the same? Is there any reason to level my drivers and blade affinities to max before starting it?

I can't see them doing anything in the X line without their full team, and they finally have them all back after XB2's DLC and BotW both finished. But they might just have their full team for a new line of games anyways.

They were larger, you were rewarded finding locations by getting exp and such, and no field skills (or rather, no poor implementation of field skills).

Don't you still get bonus exp from finding locations in XB2? I thought it just isn't applied immediately.

I don't recall anything popping up like a notification or tutorials saying so.

It's mentioned in the tutorial that introduces bonus exp.
