Xenoblade

Nia and Poppi's japanese voices are what pushed me over the edge, swapped during chapter 3 and after a brief adjustment period never looked back. Only voice I prefer in english is Morag.

Dub
>party banter and other flavor conversations that aren't subbed
>names match up with subtitles
>I prefer the voices themselves too, but thats more of an opinion

Sub
>much better performances overall
>lipsyncing matches dialogue in major cutscenes

They both have their pros and cons.
t. played main game with dub and Torna with sub and can't decide which I prefer overall

There is much undubbed shit that happens in the combat and field exploration, and not knowing what is being said drove me up the fucking wall. I'd say stick with dub, since it only is bad when some characters (REX) have to emote. It's funny for bantz and just normal conversation. But I get why some people could not stomach it.

Why does this game have a thread every day since ever?

Nia and Morag are so fucking good.

Because it's a good game.

just give me the hors d'oeuvre

People still picking it up over time and it takes like 100 hours to finish so theres a long duration of time where its still in their mind and they want to discuss it.

But that’s not really the case.
It’s had a sudden resurgence for a few months now, but it was the case say november of last year.
I wonder if it’s the same all over the internet ir just here for some reason

The dub is fine for the most part, but Rex kills it. His screams are absolutely horrible, literally anyone could've done a better job

Dub Malos alone makes the dub worth it over nippon.

I'm usually a Japanese voices kind of guy but the dub in this grows on you despite being, yeah, kind of bad.

Doesnt have to be perfect but do something at least.

based

He was at peace with it, but he literally said he wished he had met Rex earlier so he could've come to the conclusion he did without the whole...dying thing.

If you’re playing it once then it really depends- the Japanese voices are generic anime shit so if you like that then Japanese voices. The English dub is okay so do that if you aren’t a weeaboo.

Personally I’ve done both and kept with the jp voices but turned down voice sound

I just nutted to Nia. AMA.

Its more or less synced with the jap audio, localization teams rarely change the animations at all, they just dub in new dialogue over it.

licking the spaces between Nia's toes!!!

How the fuck do I beat this piece of shit?

Attached: Aeshma's_Core_Activated.png (2000x1125, 1.42M)

why do you come here?

kill the wire

Before the wires activate their spike (should be about 1/2 HP), try to get at least one or two orbs on them. Once the spike hits, go back to targeting the core (make sure to tell your party to focus too, or they'll kill themselves) and fill your party gauge. Once it's full, switch back to the wires and kill them in a chain attack. If for whatever reason your first chain doesn't kill them, just fill your party gauge and do it again.
Oh, and it you want some extra safety, you can give spike defense aux cores to your blades.

We all know that Malos would be the cool uncle. Alvis would be the boring uncle. Pyra would be the sweet but strict mom. Mythra would try to be strict but would give in super easy. Rex would be the middle ground, dad and would put his foot down when need be.

This would be a cool family

And when kids are being very bad Pyra and Mythra would fuse into Pneuma. They dont like Pneuma, she scares them.

Is XC3 even confirmed to be in development?

you must embrace the eye cancer, for it brings the comfyness of mobile gaming.

Gormott, and Torigoth especially, is the worst part. I thought I got used to it, I'm almost done with Uraya, but I returned to Gormott and it's still awful on certain areas

It'll happen eventually.

>Hopes and expectations for XC3
Completely different setting. So far, all three Xenoblades have had completely distinct and original worlds with their own lore and mysteries. I don't want a game that's just "Earth after Xenoblade 2", "Shulk's new universe" or "Earth before Klaus".
>Preferable artist of choice on designs
No strong opinion one way or another, every game's character designs left something to be desired so I wouldn't mind them going for someone new.
>Favorite OST between the Blade titles
Favorite as in overall quality: 2. Favorite as in the one I listen to the most outside the games: X.
>Favorite location in the Blade series
Definitely have to go with Sylvalum here. Tantal is not far behind though.
>Mechs or Blades?
Mechs. Blades were an okay gimmick for one game to set 2's world apart from the other games but mechs are the bread and butter of Xeno-.

Only play it docked.

A new Xenoblade is almost certainly in development (the hiring page just calls it 'a new Takahashi RPG', but it's covered in pictures from all three Xenoblades), but we have no idea if it's XB3 or something else.

That's a visual novel dude.

>Hopes and expectations for XC3
Like the other user said, I want them to keep going in the vein of the previous games. Give me an original world. Minor connections are okay, but they shouldn't be the main focus.
Anyways, I'd like playable mechs, I don't want them to just be relegated to X. Also, bring back the town affinity charts that were in XB1.
>Preferable artist of choice on designs
I'm fine with anyone but Saito.
>Favorite OST between the Blade titles
XB2, but it's damn close between 1 and 2.
>Favorite location in the Blade series
Colony 9.
>Mechs or Blades?
From a story perspective, blades. I was fairly happy with XB2's story, but I still felt like it didn't get NEARLY as creative with them as it should've, and it left so much unexplored.
In any other situation, mechs.

Merc missions not advancing when the game is off is the first thing I dislike from the game so far

Yeah, it's very fucking weird. They REALLY look like they're designed to continue in sleep mode, and Smash Ultimate proved such a concept CAN work on the Switch, but they just don't.

>The enemies leading to this boss drop spike defense aux cores.

Attached: 1554881613790.jpg (601x850, 86K)

Shortly after launch the game had a glitch that progressed the hours played even when the system was in sleep mode, so I wouldn't be surprised if that WAS the plan, but they couldn't figure out a way to make it work properly and ended up cutting it.

Dub if you grew up with shitty anime dubs and you like them
Sub otherwise.
You also get the joy of each Titan having its own accent and all the wacky Blade accents
And not just the Rare ones, the common Blades have some good lines too in accents ranging from new england to southern to western

It's really hard to say
XB1 and XBX didnt get nearly this amount of interest
I'd say three things:
>It was released early on in the lifespan of a console that isn't DOA
>Its got some overtly stereotypical 'anime' aspects that even people who don't play the game can see and have an opinion on
>It's still regularly pushed by Nintendo on their site and featured pages
So you get more and more people getting it
I wonder if XB2 has broken 2 million at this point?

Attached: newt.jpg (915x1024, 102K)

This
I'd like XB3 to maybe be more hard Sci Fi with more of a focus on maybe rainy worlds or a desert world.
Maybe even a Sub Saharan situation, that could be cool.

>I wonder if XB2 has broken 2 million at this point?
It wasn't mentioned at all in their yearly report so probably not.

>XC3
I want it to get Monolith Soft's full attention. I want it to diverge or add to Perfect Works instead of simply emulating it. Something beyond Perfect Works, the next step in the Space Odyssey.
Like all XB games, I want it to implement Titans as an idea, maybe the player is the Titan and has to cultivate different life forms within themselves that become part of the upgrade system.
I dunno
>Preferable artist of choice on designs
They should hire the person who won the XB2 fanart contest. I love their stuff, with how it combines XB1 and XB2's styles
>Favorite OST between the Blade titles
I like Incoming and Argentum a ton on 2. Theme X from XBX and Encounter with the Enemy from 1.
>Favorite Location
Argentum. Mobile Bazaars and Self Contained Cities are my fucking jam and Argentum scratches all my itches. It's like a steampunk helicarrier town
I love how they have a fucking airport at the top, along with housing for Nopon, restaurants, a hotel and even fucking farms.
>Mechs or Blades?
Both. For XBX2, I want characters from XB1 and XB2 to show up via ArchNopon nonsense and for them to have their own unique combat systems

>And not just the Rare ones, the common Blades have some good lines too in accents ranging from new england to southern to western
I wish we knew who all of the dub VAs for the miscellaneous characters like the common blades and sidequest characters were. They reused VAs a lot, and you can hear it incredibly clearly in some cases - like the common female voice that's just Adenine, or that one dude in Floren's quest who sounds exactly like Rex, but there are a few I have suspicions about (there's a common blade voice that sounds a lot like Malos in a couple of lines), and it'd just be interesting to know.
Isn't the list in the yearly report just for games that sold over a million in a year? I don't think XB2 would have to do that to break 2 mil, at last check it was at 1.5 or something. Still, I'd imagine they'd at least make some kind of announcement if they passed that mark, so I doubt it's gotten there get.

Nim's face is very cute, you take that back right now mister!

I hated Nim at first because of her design, but she really grew on me.
The way she constantly shit talks Ardainians right in front of Morag is based.

I don't know what it is about Nim, but I never used her.

how? the garbage localized english script is also used for the japanese version

you buy a japanese copy of the game if you want to take the story even less seriously

Cuz it's digidestined to always be shited on till the next game when it's basically porn so it can be excused for its cringy moments and somewhat be decent.

It's a good thing though. It's what keeps it alive.

I didn't see anything that suggestive but I hope they do keep using him as a character designer. I really like his style.

They all look the same though. Head shape wise.

Don't start shit. Unless you're prepared for complete autism.

The dub is terrible, XB1 has one of the handfulof passable dubs ever for a JRPG but XB2 no

I doubt they'd ever completely stop working with him. His designs have been a part of the series since the beginning.

Their faces are always different though, and he bothers drawing noses unlike a lot of other Japanese artists.

the reason it's a "good" ng+ is just that you keep your shit and skip the grind, imagine how awful it would be if you didn't keep your levels

That's kinda pathetic for XB2 knowing that, that's it's legacy...

arrest her

Dub is trash like 99% of them
Sub is mostly good beside a few characters that only have a few lines anyway

When does the combat turn into more than waiting around for several minutes to do something other than auto-attack?

Neat. Maybe we'll get more art out of them.

Attached: Nomos.png (723x730, 144K)

It speeds up a bit when you get more than one blade, and by the time you get three you shouldn't be waiting much at all.
In the meantime, go get yourself some narcipear jelly from Argentum to speed things up a bit.
Also, moving a tiny bit after the first hit in your auto attack combo (so you're just doing the first hit over and over) charges arts a lot faster than just doing the full combo. You should still use the full combo when using arts so you can cancel off of the third hit, though.

Get the skills that lets you cancel arts into arts on everyone you can ASAP.

Grinding for all the swimsuits takes forever even once you're in the postgame, trying to do it during the main story sounds miserable.
