>get the bit where Rex hallucinates >die because I wasn't maining Rex before this so he's weak as fuck >have to run from the real world back to your fucking hallucination
I can't play this anymore. This is single-handedly the dumbest thing I have EVER come across in a video game. It's one thing to be able to break the story via fast travel, but this is fucking stupid. Really fucking stupid. Like holy shit I'm blown away..
yeah the ending is fucking trash too the game really falls flat on it's face damn shame really, as I enjoyed it
Jace Reyes
>This is single-handedly the dumbest thing I have EVER come across in a video game Which says a lot in a game with BLUSHY CRUSHY scenes, one eyed bastard jokes, overdone "mc gets hit by female mc for touching her involuntarily" memes, and literal gacha mechanics in a single player rpg. not to mention how dumbed down the game was from its predecessor.
Logan James
>not to mention how dumbed down the game was from its predecessor
I thought the combat was more complex?
Cooper Howard
It's so you can go back and level up if you need to, you dunce.
Gavin Lewis
>completely missing the point >calling anyone else a dunce
Nathaniel Rivera
As best I could tell, XC2's combat was more complex in that it required you to set up synergies between your character and your team for the big damage combos that are required.
The earlier games had this same system but it didn't seem as important to me. I was able to play 1 and X without worrying too much about the team makeup. In 2, if your team comp is wrong, you'll take forever to kill even basic enemies. Get fucked on bosses.
Eli Ortiz
Are you an idiot?
Michael Price
So would you have preferred to be locked out from leaving and levelling up, resulting in an unwinnable save, like in FFT? All because you were a dumbass who didn't level the fucking main character in a JRPG? You would be crying even harder if you were locked in permanently because of your idiotic decision.
Please do explain how any of this is the game's fault?
Isaiah Robinson
The sequence itself is retarded you mong.
YOU RUN BACK INTO YOUR MIND
Easton Clark
Fuck Xenocringe 2.
Matthew Smith
Is this your first encounter with ludonarrative dissonance or something?
Asher Roberts
I didn't die and even I thought that bit was retarded.
Robert Ortiz
How is this somehow more stupid than any other time the game breaks canon? When you died during the other boss fights, are you just picturing the boss waiting there like a retard while the party does a few quests?
Jeremiah Long
>The sequence itself is retarded you mong. Sounds like you're retarded. It's like complaining that dying once doesn't instantly end the game.
Dominic Parker
>Xenocringe cringe
Adam Jones
It's got nothing to do with levels you retard.
Jayden Turner
Fucking kill yourself.
Isaiah Sullivan
>have to run from the real world back to your fucking hallucination
I experimented by save summing to see just what would happened if you died against Nia and I couldn't stop laughing. It really is stupid.
It's the fact you run back into your mind. It's just really silly. It has nothing to do with gameplay itself you dense fanboy.
Christian Moore
Imagine being this mad.
Jack Kelly
I truly like jrpgs but this one looks like a massive weeaboo thing with a mene UI, although I haven't played it yet and maybe I'm wrong
Adam Howard
Rogue-likes do exist idiot. You're so desperate to defend this stupid game.
Isaiah Bailey
Imagine being this stupid.
Josiah Brown
Yeah, I reckon a loss there shouldn't have mattered. It really throws you out of the moment of reaching that area.
Cameron Ross
Seetheing.
Colton Barnes
Dying in the game world is fine. Its dying in your mind and running back to it via the real world. It's far dumber than the average run from one room to another MMO schlock. It's like the game is mocking itself.
Adrian Hughes
Are you seriously implying that this game should have taken the roguelike approach to handling death?
Alexander Lopez
No you dense retard. It's just pathetic you can't admit that section is completely nonsensical compared to another other aspect of the gams because you're a rabid fanboy.
James Moore
It isn't any more dumb. Sounds like you are pulling an arbitrary distinction here, that respawning and engaging the boss again like it nothing happened is A-ok, but running back to your mind is somehow not. Both are equally ridiculous, and both requires suspension of disbelief. Why you couldn't apply it in the second scenary is completely arbitrary on your part.
Dominic Morgan
It seems like XB2 doesnt really have a system to react to deaths with anything other than a single, standard respawn. I wager that's part of the reason you have all the "Win in battle, lose in cutscene" bits: they couldnt actually make the bosses win because they didnt build the system to allow for other actions other than respawns to happen from in-battle losses
Parker Barnes
Everything after the World Tree really sucks IMO.
Asher Reyes
Then what exactly are you implying then? Because if not for that, your comment is completely nonsensical and irrelevant, what does roguelikes have anything to do with this?
Christopher Long
It's not really a weeb thing, just really half baked and has some pretty heavy-handed jokey anime scenes (with some art-style shifts) early on. Most of that stuff drops off at the 1/3 way mark. IT's fun and enjoyable but it's a frustrating game
Angel Perez
It's a lot dumber, but I'm not going to argue with an obvious defense forcing fanboy.
Nolan Baker
Sounds like your own fault for not leveling up your mc. By this point in the game you should have realized that there are many parts where Rex and the others get separated. Each character has a vital role somewhere in the story, so you should have leveled them all up instead of looking at late game strats and focusing on Morag. Tryhard.
Brandon Barnes
I wonder why they made this game so much like an MMO. It's weird. Right down to the gacha shit.
Benjamin Allen
Are you an idiot?
You're not supposed to die, the story doesn't have you dying then. You're literally going back to the previous point and going through the same setup again, exactly the same as in literally any other game, except that they do you the favour of skipping all the cutscenes and dialogue for you.
Do you sperg out anytime you die in games normally? I was just playing Cave Story and I had Curly Brace die twice before I managed to save her, would that give you an aneurysm too?
Also:
>Wasn't maining Rex so he's weak >In a game with shared Exp
>>Wasn't maining Rex so he's weak >>In a game with shared Exp Fucking this. OP is either a liar or a retard. Probably both. But as always, OP is a faggot for sure.
Sebastian Martin
>BLUSHY CRUSHY scenes, one eyed bastard jokes
Literally light-hearted humour... Imagine having a stick so far up your ass that something like this offends you.
>overdone "mc gets hit by female mc for touching her involuntarily" memes
The whole point of that scene, as well as the entire joke, is that hitting him HURTS HER. Pyra was complaining about a headache the next morning and Mythra was too embarrassed of having been such an idiot she's hiding away inside Pyra.
>literal gacha mechanics in a single player rpg
You can easily fill every character with practically BiS Blades without relying on the random cores at all.
>not to mention how dumbed down the game was from its predecessor.
Yeah, with a bigger world, more expansive cast and far deeper combat. Sure is dumbed down.
The fact you run back into your mind is what's stupid. I could ignore running back to normal bosses as a timeskip some shit, but RUNNING BACK INTO A HALLUCINATION IS FUCKING RETARDED.
fucking rabid fanboys
Samuel Gomez
>I died in game >BUT I'M NOT DEAD!? >WHAT THE FUCK
How are you retards able to post?
Ryder Foster
It takes forever to kill any enemy.
Jackson Diaz
XB2 fanboys are absolute cancer so it's no surprise they defend running back into your mind.
Luis Gonzalez
They had plenty of mandatory losses in Xenoblade 1, to the point where it got obnoxious. 2 has a couple of fights that end prematurely as well, so I'm pretty sure they could've had all those fights end in gameplay losses if they wanted to. If you aren't using Rex he's just going to end up with a bunch of random blades, and that can really fuck you over.
Brandon Howard
What the actual fuck are you on about?
Jeremiah Long
Again, I repeat, are you stupid?
You died in the game and have to redo the previous section. The same as practically every other game since the dawn of time. Which part of this is somehow different or unique and worth complaining about?
Aaron Phillips
holy shit I can picture the froth coming from your mouth
Nathan Rivera
all XB games are like MMOs, but stuff like the merc system and gacha system feel like they were done for this particular game's situation >Merc system Due to handheld nature >Gacha want to make each player's experience unique but they were total hacks about how to create that effect
Brandon Fisher
You're just being purposefully ignorant now.
Josiah Foster
>If you aren't using Rex he's just going to end up with a bunch of random blades, and that can really fuck you over.
Play the game before commenting please.
Dying in that fight is exactly the same as dying in any other game. You're sent back to the last checkpoint and have to redo.
I'm trying to understand why somehow, for some reason, dying at this point of this game is somehow different.
Jaxson Mitchell
>You died in the game and have to redo the previous section.
that's not the point here like holy shit
Joseph Wilson
I had no problem beating my team solo. You prob just suck. Also I mostly just use Tora for the entire game ho.
Juan Lopez
Somehow this game attracts a massive amount of liars. >i couldn't beat the boss because my rex was underleveled! >i had to play most of the game with commons because i couldn't get any rares! >i spent 200 hours grinding for kos-mos and didn't even get her!
>I'm trying to understand why somehow, for some reason, dying at this point of this game is somehow different.
Because you start at the Chapel and run back into your own mind. Can you explain this?
Ian Miller
No, I'm being completely clear.
If you die, you get sent back to the last checkpoint and have to redo your progress. That's how almost every single game made has ever worked.
Using my previous example, playing Cave Story, I died several times trying to beat the Core. Each time I died, I was sent back to the checkpoint, and I had to fight it again. And each time, Curly was right there, and the Core was at full HP. That's how games work...
Jayden Murphy
>not maining the guy who can use every blade Are you retarded
Ryder Bennett
>Play the game before commenting please. I...did? I didn't use Rex and he ended up with Roc and fucking Godfrey.
But that's 100% true. Even if you equip Blades beforehand, all their abilities are randomized. I literally just replayed this bit.
Julian Morgan
>Because you start at the Chapel and run back into your own mind. Can you explain this?
Yeah.
You died. You have to redo the section of going into the chapel, and making your way towards the Architect. However, because XBC2 doesn't want to waste your time, it skips all that shit for you.
Here's the literal only difference:
>It doesn't repeat dialogue and give you a cutscene to press + to skip
And seriously, please stop dying to easy segments of JRPGs, it's embarrassing even talking about this.
Roc is pretty great considering he's pretty much the only one you can use smash with.
Liam King
What? Would you prefer the alternative of staeting from even earlier and losing even more progress you fucking retard? The walk back isnt meant to cater to the story its convenience for the players sake, jfc. Who gives a shit if your IMMERSHUN is broken you fucking spastic, dont be shit at tje game next time and maybe you wont have to go through the harrowing experience of having the game cut you some slack and allow you to go back and level.
Of all the things to bash x2 about this is hands down the most inane complaint thread Ive seen made for this game. Holy fucking shit kill yourself OP.
Brayden Martinez
>idiots still thinking that the death itself was the problem
I really hate this board sometimes.
Easton Myers
People who haven't even played the game continuing to look like retards. Exposing yourselves one after another!
>What? Would you prefer the alternative of staeting from even earlier and losing even more progress you fucking retard?

>Xbabies unable to understand how a story interacts with gameplay
Not surprising, considering their game had no story. But still.
Levi Perez
It's extra immersive.
Camden Foster
It's not perfectly said it all. Immersion in that point of the story is insanely important. A death should just continue things, not having the MC running back into his own brain. That shit is retarded and you're retards for defending it.
Aaron Robinson
probably one of the most awe inspiring moments ever in video games for me, entering the world tree for the first time from the elevator, had tingles for an hour or so also the music
What's the fucking problem? I thought you were bitching like you could come and go as you pleased, which would be stupid. Are you mad that save points exist? That you died? What's the problem here?
Asher Campbell
Youve drawn an arbitrary line between the game allowing rex to easily reaccess his dream sequence by having it be directly a part of the area and literally any other form of checkpoint reload in videogames. It does not matter that rex "walks back into his dream" when you lose because that doesnt fucking happen in the story and is a consequence of videogames being an interactive medium where a shitter like yourself can lose fights. Do you also feel your immersion shattered when you die in other games and are met with a "reload save" screen? The layout allowing rex to walk into his dream sequence allows for a linear, easily accessible continuation of the previous area for the convenience of the player.
Tl;DR you are direly retarded the mods should have nuked this dumbass thread. I dont even like xenoblade 2.
Nobody is mad except for you. I don't know how much simier I have to make this for you rabid fanboys. Running back into a hallucination is bad game design. Period.
Joshua Jones

Clearly it does.
Justin Cooper

>Literally light-hearted humour... Imagine having a stick so far up your ass that something like this offends you. user there is a time and place for eveything, but sometimes it feels like the characters do not understand that, and some jokes honestly feel forced.
The whole point of that scene, as well as the entire joke, is that hitting him HURTS HER. Pyra was complaining about a headache the next morning and Mythra was too embarrassed of having been such an idiot she's hiding away inside Pyra. It's a good joke but it happens so often and it's so tropey that it's more annoying if anything.
>You can easily fill every character with practically BiS Blades without relying on the random cores at all. Sorry but there really is no defense for something like this, especially in a game where travel becomes locked by arbitrary field skills. If you don't have what you need, good fucking luck.
>Yeah, with a bigger world, more expansive cast and far deeper combat. Sure is dumbed down. Most of the areas later on in the game are over glorified hallways with nothing rewarding when you explore them. in fact, exploration is hardly ever rewarding in XC2. Expansive cast, yeah, but most of it hardly gets developed. Quantity =/= quality
Jason Edwards
more like: morons are mad for a game being smarter than they are
Zachary Allen
Who the fuck ever thought of "RUN BACK INTO YOUR BRAIN"? You're playing a gameplay segment and you fucking die, obviously you'll have to fucking redo it.
I died at Zeke and Tora and i came back to fight them. Never once it crossed my mind that absolutely retarded thought because i understand i'm playing the game to get the fucking story going, not watching a shit movie like any other sony garbage. I got past that point and i still had all the immersion to empathize with the characters in the later part of the game.
Jonathan Powell
>A death should just continue things, not having the MC running back into his own brain Rex obviously wakes up from his hallucination after dying, but enters this state of mind every time he walks down that escalator. You just don't get it.
Brayden Walker
No, it's just more complex on a basic level thanks to blade combos. Honestly unless you're not using crit heal it just boils down to using your combos and chain attack
Jack Hernandez
You've yet to offer a better solution. You just keep baiting.
Charles Morales
Everyone is mad that you're a fucking retard who can't explain what they're trying to say
How would you like that scene handled? You just loose? Game over start again?
Parker White
>this is your average XB2 fan
big yikes no wonder you fags are defending something as retarded as running into your head
Jaxson Murphy
I did and dropped it an hour in during the first random encounters, it wasn't fun to play at all wrong, the jokes were funny all the time >travel becomes locked by arbitrary field skills oh, but that literally never happens are you lying or just never played the game?
John Wilson
Git gud
Jaxson King
>How would you like that scene handled?
The MC not literally running back into his own head. I know you're mad I think the mmhe game is irredeemably stupid, but please understand this is not okay. It horrible game design.
Jason Carter
the problem is that you are a low effort baiting pretentious moron when you die in a video game fight you have to go back and do it again right have you ever played a video game?
Henry Martin
user late in the game there are several instances of paths being locked because they decided to shoe horn in field skill bullshit at the last second.
Adrian Scott
god I fucking hated that so much
Nicholas Jackson
You need to use the gacha to at least get enough electric blades to open that one door in the world tree, since Pandy doesn't have enough on her own and the only other non-gacha electric blade is Vess, who doesn't have electric mastery. It's not like it's hard to do that in that part of the game, though. As far as I know every other skill check can be done without touching the gacha.
Cameron Long
Except that you're not walking into anyone's head, you're walking into the hallucinogenic effects of a machine.
Connor Ramirez
no they are not? I explored the entirety of morytha and world tree the first time through Never had to backtrack from that point forward in the game
Cooper Perez
HAHAHAHAHA
Adrian Nelson
*Every other mandatory skill check, fuck.
Gavin Hernandez
wow you faggots will say anything to defend this game
Christopher Williams
you can literally stack enough lvl1 electric masteries from common blades you never otherwise touch that is a non-issue
Oliver Davis
>I know you're mad
No, I think anime is fucking retarded and take every chance I get to shit on waifubait pandering bullshit. You're a fucking retard mate, go suck start a shotgun.
Lucas Richardson
>He thinks the sequence is happening in Rex’s mind
Hehehe
Elijah Hernandez
Dont normal blades also have the ability to have electric mastery too?
its been a while since ive played, the field skills were only really a nuisance for post game content
Isaac Perry
isn't it? it's the architect testing him for what he feels deep down
Jaxon Phillips
For a "mediocre, cringe-inducing JRPG" you sure love talking about it.
Spoiler: It's a great game, feel free to get over it anytime.
Connor Morris
Agreed. Dying having zero consequences is stupid enough but that was beyond stupid. I was also not a fan of being able to teleport anywhere at any time even though the story claims were stranded. This game is an awful mess of ideas that don't work.
Luis Thomas
This, Pyra & Mythra are clearly their own people and not figments of Rex's mind
Dylan Peterson
oh it's a machine now
Lincoln Evans
wow you faggots will say anything to be contrarians over this game
Jaxson Russell
what a stupid post
Cooper Adams
>Come in this thread >See nothing but pure rage and stupidity Why is that XB2 have the most shitposters there is? I don't get what's the problem with this game to cause a discord group to attack this game.
Landon Brown
Yeah, every electric common has it. You can't just skip the gacha entirely, but what you are required to get isn't hard at all.
Cameron Flores
>I can't play this anymore. This is single-handedly the dumbest thing I have EVER come across in a video game. It's one thing to be able to break the story via fast travel, but this is fucking stupid. Really fucking stupid. Like holy shit I'm blown away..
I've also heard there is a part of the game where you are locked up in prison, and you can fast travel to do side quests, but the story still acts as if you are locked up. Is this true?
It's always a machine. You think the entire party just happens to get hallucinations about their deepest fears at the exact same time? Please try to pay attention.
Cooper Bennett
I don't think you're getting the point. The problem is that it is a thing that becomes forced onto instead of giving you an alternative if you decide you don't want to grind for useless field skills and don't want to deal with such an interruption.
This could have been easily remedied by giving you an alternative route with a slight spike in difficulty and length.
Work to take this shortcut, or fight your way through.
Field skill paths had been completely optional up until Adam's dungeon where they force it instead of giving you an alternative route like every other time. That's either a massive oversight or a design flaw.
Jaxson Green
>One of the best recent Jrpgs >Only playable on a nintendo console
SMTV is gonna get the same hate 6 years down the line
David Sanchez
I died too because my faggot can jumped on me during the 2v1. At first I thought it was weird, but you run into that weird microwave hall so I guess that's what does it. I mean there's worse shit in this game than that. You have to let in some suspension of disbelief with this very strange offline MMO.
Noah Price
Not prison, but there are multiple times where you're stranded in certain locations but the game lets you fast travel anywhere, and every sidequest after chapter 6 is non-canon because there's absolutely no way to fit them into the plot. The game just doesn't give a shit about ludo-narrative dissonance.
Yes. There's also a bit where you're swallowed up and trying to escape, so guess what happens?
Luke Jones
2s combat is definitely dumbed down from 1 and x. Buffs and debuffa are handled by AI, only 3 abilities available to the player at any given point in time 9 total counting all a characters active blades but these are on potentially very long cooldowns depending on where you are in the game, only direct damage commands are available to the player and none of them have synergy with eachother in the way they have in previous games (nia gets a couple heal commands tho), aggro management is dumbed down, less control over teammates, easier qtes, no commands or playstyle is unique to any of the characters (besides nia who can heal without collecting potions) leading to homogenous characters with only numbers distiguishing them from eachother. To name a few. The combo system was fun but I hope they go back and build on 1 and Xs system for the next game instead of simplifying shit.
Ian Green
I think fast travel is locked at that point, but right after the breakout you got "2 hrs" to go to the core of the island but you can fast travel everywhere else
Hunter Collins
>The game just doesn't give a shit about being consistant.
adam's dungeon is in chapter 5, like at least 30 hours in the game, you couldn't possibly have not developed your crew at all by that point?
Gavin Davis
None of those describe XB2, which has both shit story and shit gameplay, precisely because it doesn't know how to integrate the two with each other. The whole 'defeat boss, die in a cutscene' is a prime example of this sort of stupidity.
I was sure Fan was gonna "mommy" him, I never expected Amalthus himself to be the one doing the moves. That artist is indeed corrupted.
William Gutierrez
OHNONONO YOU CAN FAST TRAVEL IF YOU WANT TO PURPOSELY CAUSE FUNNY SCENARIOS HOW WILL XENOFAGS EVER RECOVER?
Logan Young
>which has both shit story and shit gameplay
Subjective.
Jordan Martinez
its better than lose to boss lose in cutscene alot of other JRpgs employ
Zachary Howard
Why do so many jrpgs suffer from a complete disconnect between gameplay and story? Sure, some of this stuff is a necessary evil, but jrpgs seem to REVEL in this disconnect, constantly shoving it in your face and reminding you of it at every turn.
A shield hammer blade helps immensely there if youre struggling.
Brayden Morales
Flooring the boss in gameplay then getting bodied in a cutscene isn't anything new in JRPGs. Dunno why it's a problem now all of a sudden.
Nicholas Rivera
>Not leveling the MAIN character >Surprised when the game requires you to actually use the MAIN character This has been a thing in JRPGs since the very start and you still haven't learned, you dumb zoomer?
Juan King
So he changed his shitposting strategy...again. This time it was really fast, "Japanese Humour" lasted months and I think it only stopped because mods now delete any thread with the webm in the OP on sight. The "must collect evidence to get the mods to ban xbx2" didn't even last two days and now he is doing this.
Are you okay? I think a lot of people who aren't normally interested in JRPGs or "anime games" picked up XB2 for whatever reason. A decent amount of the things I see people complaining about really aren't that out of the ordinary in the genre.
Has nothing to do with leveling. I don't know how OP died though. You can kill the hallucinations with 1 or 2 first level specials with just Roc.
Hunter Russell
Is this the mentality of a Sonniger? It's a fucking game, what the fuck were you expecting, to skip the whole sequence because you lost?
Ian Hill
the explanation for lost odyssey is that kaim is on a mission and any "death" results in a deviation that could potentially last hundreds of years. Much like how taking damage in the original Assassin's Creed makes you lose Sync. Just that specific example, though.
Cameron Richardson
It's just zoomers.
Isaac Scott
what kind of autist made that webm
John Edwards
>What? Would you prefer the alternative of staeting from even earlier and losing even more progress you fucking retard? Not OP, but yes. I died to Nia because my Rex had no way of healing so I had to go back and put Godfrey on him. Running back into my hallucination was fucking stupid and really took me out of the game.
Leo Murphy
>my Rex had no way of healing
You didn't even need to heal. 2 or 3 Level 1 specials from Roc is enough to finish the job. I agree the segment is stupid, but only a shitter would die there.
Carter Bennett
2 is the literal definition of soulless, they removed all the archetype characters and they all become the same. There is no equivalent to a Sharla type character, and they know that because any characters that doesn't dish out damage is USELESS. The whole combat system is trash from the beginning, but they thought making it samey and slower was the way to go.
Nathaniel Torres
Pretty sure that my Nia was beefy and was healing herself.
Xavier Peterson
Mine was Level 83 and my Rex and like 78 and I managed.
Brandon Howard
This is the essence of every XCfags right there
They literally haven't played any other JRPG. They're the same kind of people who made Tales of Symphonia the best game ever made back in the gamecube days. They don't know any better
Caleb Rivera
Pretty sure she had some bad ass accessories
Grayson Thomas
Have you tried to git gud. Maybe some preparation as Pandoria says will do the trick
Justin Morgan
I actually thought the game was good at first, trash in the middle and then the ending completely redeemed it, it was great.
Ian Peterson

Christian Scott
>dumbed down the game was from its predecessor You have no idea what you're talking about.
Evan Rivera
I think the versions you fight don't have the effects.
William Perry
This is not possible: -even if you didn't main Rex, ever characters get exp after fights, even those you didn't use -at this point of the story, Rex has the ability to switch to any blade, even those who aren't his so you can still use the blades from characters you used
Easton Jackson
It's entirely possible if he hasn't been filling out Rex's affinity chart and leveling his blades. The master driver ability doesn't factor in to it, since the fights start without giving you a chance to access the menu. OP's retarded, but I don't see how him losing once is improbable.
Kevin Foster
I was maining Zeke and KOS-MOS and still managed it with a bunch of random blades the game just gave Rex.
Justin White
Will I fall in love if I play this game? My heart can't take that.
Ayden Williams
You'll either fall in love or end up absolutely hating everything about the game.
So what, the game should softlock you into the fights until you win them all, even though you yourself admitted your Rex was underleveled and underequipped because you hadn't been using him? Are you fucking retarded? Do you have zero fucking clue about game design? Locking the character in a point of no return after taking away his party would be the single fucking dumbest decision to make, of fucking course the game spits you out at the last landmark so you can fast travel to an inn or review your strategy/equipment before retackling the fights, the fuck did you expect? You're the kind of braindead retard for whom Nintendo included the "become invincible and skip the level" power ups after enough deaths in resent Mario games, aren't you?
Ayden Johnson
I mean, you're not really running back into your mind at this point. Rex and the others have been standing still in front of Klaus the whole time. He wants to see how Rex reacts to each new crisis. He probably mind-wiped & reset his lost fight to give the impression he had never entered the base in the first place.
Aiden Barnes
fucking fanboys are damage controlling with their own fanfiction now
Cameron Peterson
Or it's a video game and the devs have to ask the player to suspend their disbelief to allow for a more balanced and fair GAMEPLAY experience and OP's severe autism can't handle it
Jacob Adams
This right here, is the type of person that considers XC2 a masterpiece.
The fuck does my post have to do with fanfiction? I just spoke of the gameplay reasons as to why the game doesn't softlock you into the fights. You really are retarded, OP
Juan Baker

Robert Richardson
>XC2fag hates the only good character in the whole game Unsurprising.
Wyatt Kelly
I bet if this happened in a WRPG people wouldn't be defending it this hard.
If this game wasn't on a Nintendo system the majority would write it off as low budget Vita tier trash, not even the Xeno autists would be defending it.
Nintendo rapes franchises almost as hard as EA, but still get defended because muh nostalgia.
Kayden White
I agree with you, especially since you can leave Morthya with Jin via quick travel. Just saying at that point, Rex and the others are probably daydreaming in front of Klaus the whole time.
Noah Wood

Because the world is full of ADD riddled teenagers that would rather experience MMO combat in a single player RPG than ever risk thinking out their next move while sitting on a menu.
Gabriel Bennett
I love you, Rex. :3
Juan Lopez
Not even that guy, just tired of pokeautists and their britbong memes. It wasn't funny when XC2 incels did it either.
Jason Carter
the samefagging in this thread is on another level
oh please I'm 34 and and I'm sick of you pretentious cunts thinking turn-based is anything more than an outdated system for brainlets.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Real talk, I'm glad more and more people are finally calling out this game's flaws and realizing it wasn't the 10/10 JRPG it's rabid defenders constantly claim it is.
Levi Hernandez
All XB2 threads are like that. It's the same people arguing back and forth, over and over again.
Never encountered a section this stupid though where you have to run back to your own mind. It's retarded, and no amount of fanboying will change my view on this. Get mad and write walls of text namecalling all you want.
Grayson Reed
Damn, you're 34 years old and you can't have the patience to sit down and enjoy a game that isn't a fast paced mess?
You're at the age where you're supposed to slow down and take in all those things you never truly appreciated, relax, and enjoy every moment.
I pity you.
Jace Watson
If nothing will ever change your mind there is literally no reason to argue.
Fair enough. I disliked XC2 bongposting but Pokemon bongposting has potential I guess >Finally You fuckin idiots just chose to shit on the game without actually playing. Every person I know who loved the game knows the game has flaws and are fully willing to admit it. The reason they defend it is because the flaws are blown way out of proportion. Look at the fuckin thread we're in. Some faggot is massively butthurt the game didn't put him in a locked game state because the game gave him a chance to fix his party
They sure as hell never acknowledge them though, they just post anime tits while calling anyone that doesn't like it a discord tranny.
Austin Cook
Stop playing video games then if you can't handle gameplay being different from story >Wtf why do I keep losing court cases as Phoenix Wright >Wtf why do I die in Castlevania 1 if Simon kills Dracula in the end >Wtf why do I die in RDR2 if Arthur only dies in the end
The moment anyone complains about the focus on fanservice or gachashit, a whole group of autists waifufag argue for hours over the game's good name.
Josiah Green
>Just accept it and move on >Except I couldn't accept this one instance of the game setting me back a bit because I died so I made a thread on Yea Forums
I can't look at those images and I feel joy, I just keep imaging Takahashi's sadness.
Leo Bailey
Another retard who has completely missed the point.
Bentley Kelly
freaking sweet choco
Ayden Torres
Did we get any more art of Dahlia or Perun? My dick wants to know
Robert Sanders
Saitofags are gonna be BTFO'd so hard when XC3 comes out it's not even funny. Some will latch on to the fanbase like a tumor, but hopefully they don't cause too much harm.
Daniel Turner
I literally only played this game because of all the anons angrily meme-ing it. Found out it’s pretty fucking good, just an embarrassing mess at the same time. I say that as a complement.
>"lol I enjoy getting soft locked because im under leveled" >"I love it when games force you to stay in the same fight over and over until you win via RNG because I'm underleveled to actually fight the boss"
The design they chose was the one with actual thought and effort. The others were just another human/furry, Ivy/Krystal knockoff.
Zachary Carter
Doesnt count in those cases. Those games were good
Easton Sanders
>weak as fuck rex thats not even possible.
Eli Ramirez
Maybe don't put a boss inside a dream sequence if there's no in story explanation for why you'd lose.
Oliver Adams
He's just baiting for (You)s
this whole thread is a bait for them
Liam Cook
If one of those other designs got in the game, you'd wouldn't be saying that, instead you'd be saying it was good the current one wasn't chosen because it looked retarded.
The devs can literally do no wrong in your eyes.
Brody Rogers
did you complain about the fact the party just respawns if you fall off a cliff too? where is the line drawn for realism for you?
sending you out of the church at the end was so you can level up or prepare better for the hallucination fights. they're a sacrifice for allowing good game design over immersion or realism. stop whining.
Xavier Edwards
Every thread I've seen that starts with shit talking about the game ends up being people talking about the game positively. Chad Xeno connoisseurs are so based.
Same for you, you idiot. If they had picked another design, you'd be arguing that the current design was the better one. You just want to be a contarian prick
Austin Martin
I love how XC2fags have to make images like this because their protag is such a beta cuckboy with no testosterone.
If you guys actually had the patience to play turn based JRPGs, I wonder how you'd react to Zidane Tribal.
David Thomas
>developer accomodates retard that goes against every possible design like refusing to play as the main character and never giving him any weapon for over 40 hours by letting him fix his stupid ass decision and prepare >it's still the developers fault
Stop pretending to know things you don't. The devs obviously can do wrong since Nim exists. As it is, the blades skew too human so I'm glad they went with something a bit different.
Ryan Cooper
Careful, Xfag might add you to his cringe compilation
Easton Sanders
you failed to face your shit and have to do it again because you failed.
Or, just think its some revert to before you actually went into the dream but when you go back you insta go through everything and just go to boss.
Or just say "oh I died", better try to beat this boss
Or just realize the reason they do this sort of revert and push you outside of the boss fight and back into the map where you can go instigate the boss fight again is so that you can go back and grind up enough levels so you arent dying constantly with no real chance of winning.
However, what you did was "Oh I died, better shitpost on Yea Forums".
I know you're baiting but in the off chance that you're not your post when trying to shit talk people for liking game doesnt actually work. Or if you really wanted to shit talk the game, you should've talked about how the AI is kinda dumb and wont heal from time to time or the Ai will just try to jump over another character during mid convo and make them jump repeatedly over and over until the convo is done. Or even how during cutscenes, the characters hairs flow all about the place and even clip into itself from time to time and clipping in general is a thing in this game.
but instead you wanted to shit talk something thats done on purpose in terms of game design.
And all that with nearly no setup time, I remember how we needed to farm nightvision crystals in XC1 just to hit Avalanche Abaasy at all. Not to mention the instant death spike gems you needed too.
I like her personality, but honestly, I couldn't tell you. Her design is just really good to me. I called Praxis/Theory shitty designs but they just don't appeal to me, they actually aren't that bad
Easton Lee
>Casulized gameplay It was better over 4 >Worse story Yeah you got a point, but it makes killing your friends all the sweeter
>SJ I love fusin demons and SJ has much less than that
Jaxson Reed
Not him, but I like how she's just unashamedly racist.
Austin Bailey
I think Nim's design would be fine it it weren't for the weird snout. Other than that I understand what you mean
Nathaniel Cox
>old game good
Jason Long
>die in a game >get to prepare yourself better and try again >WOW THAT'S SO STUPID WHY AREN'T I STUCK FOREVER? Based retard.
I should continue my ng+ playthrough but I'm not sure what to even do in it
Julian Robinson
>It was better over 4 I don't know about that, outside of that one moment, there was no penalties for dying so I never felt pressured going through dungeons(Even though the game was so easy it didn't matter), and the friend system heavily breaks the game to the point that the one boss battle in genocide route where you can't use them was the only actual tough battle in the game, outside of YHVH and Stephen.
It was okay, but it really just feels like a filler to past the time until SMTV.
Ian White
Did you do all the challenges? You could always try a BoC run
Nicholas Foster
Challenge Mode on BoC.
Elijah Martin
>Not a new IP
Hmmm....
Christian Rodriguez
Why does this same post come up every thread? Just lookup something to do, or stop playing. The XC2DF isn't holding you at gunpoint and forcing you to play.
Alexander Evans
Babby's first time seeing gameplay and story segregation
Isaiah Phillips
i hear you man, passion for this game got killed when they introduced difficulty sliders.
Samuel Cooper
> S-shut up f-f-fagot, got'em
You're cringier for even defending this game. And next time actaully argue. Keep seething weeblord.
Thomas Perry
Have fun playing Apex legends until your caveman brain needs to swap to something else, fag.
Christopher Bailey
Imagine replying to a cringe post from almost 4 hours ago because you have nothing better to do Couldn't be me
Jace Garcia
Minge - meme by gangweeb
Julian Rogers
This
All i wanted was a preset hard mode that isnt impossible on your first run. BoC is fine for ng+.
