How long will we have to wait for a JRPG of Xenoblade 2's caliber? Even when it was cheesy, it was fun. I fell in love with the characters. The only game that ever made me feel this way before was Chrono Trigger, and that was the early 90s. I think Xenoblade 2 even surpassed that game in awesomeness.
Please tell me the wait won't be so long this time.

If Pyra was your blade, do you want her to be your gf or your mommy?
She can be both.
both
No. You can only choose one
Pyra's pretty sexy, and naughty too.
She can be my maid while I get with the superior blade.
Vastly inferior to this goddess
yeah of course you fell in love with titty anime girls whose breast circumference is higher than their IQ.
You get to choose between a blowjob from Pyra or Mythra. Who do you choose? strawpoll.me
Persona 5 is better and has hotter waifus.
>How long will we have to wait for a JRPG of Xenoblade 2's caliber?
Slow down there, user. Anywho, whenever Monolith Soft releases their next project. We should be seeing something this E3 given the gap between their announcements, but we'll see.
As you can see Xenocringe 2 is beloved by weebs for its fantastic story and gameplay!
Neither.
I can't wait
this is the most sarcastic game i have played in 19 years, i can feel koh kojima pissing himself laughing at this.
Granblue Relink is going to revitalize the JRPG genre
That shit has an unlimited budget and has been in development for like 4 or 5 years at this point and they said they're still adding content
And the combat looks fucking amazing too
Granblue Relink
But that's going to be a generic musou game
Unironically I'm more interested in playing Code Vein (whenever it releases) than play XC2 again. The game gets tiring after awhile.
You are a giant fucking retard if you think Granblue Relink is a musou
youtu.be
It's a proper open world APRG, and they've said this several times.
Have sex
A year later for Dragon Quest XI.
After that....I don't know. No one wants to make high quality JRPGs that aren't indie sprite shit. Holy shit was Octopath disappointing as fuck.
Not long. XC2 is a good game. Lots of good jrpgs have come out. In fact a better one came out early than it. Persona 5. Try it out and your welcome.
Gatcha has gone too far.
That's ironic.
How? Granblue has incredible art, music, and world building
I've wanted the mobile game to get something like this, this is what all gacha should lead to
Funding actually incredibly good looking games
Thankfully CyGames is run by people who actually like video games, unlike Fate lol
Impossible mode: You first
Join Islam
top fucking kek
Why would you want another RPG thats mediocre or worse in every aspect but anime girls? If it wasn't literally a waifu collector and/or wasn't on switch, it would have gotten at best no attention and at worse terrible reviews.
I hate navigating this stupid fucking ship so much.
Also, it's bullshit that Jin was never made available in the main game aside from this one challenge and chapter 8. His moveset is fun.
bro. now that I know this game is cringe I just can't enjoy it anymore. 450 hours of my life down the drain
thanks for helping me out
As a huge fan of Xenoblade 2, should I play Xenoblade 1? How does it compare?
This
Pyra is for pure vaginal sex while Mythra is for violent anal.
It's a fantastic game, you should absolutely play it. The combat might feel a little dated since you've played 2, but I think it's still held up well. The story is pretty standard JRPG fare, but it's executed extremely well, and the dub is great, which helps a lot.
>Persona 5.
That's my second favorite JRPG of this millennium, no doubt. XC2 has a slight edge. The new Persona 5 expanded edition may change that, however.
If you like XC2 for the waifus, then you prob wont like XC1. If you like XC2 for basically any other reason, XC1 is better.
More memes of Mythra and Pyra pls
XC1 is better than XC2 in every way except for side content so if you liked XC2 you will by default like XC1
Don't worry, something far better is in the works.
Why did this game even have dungeons? They were literally pointless. The ship, the Mor Ardain factory, the World Tree, they were all weak. The Spirit Crusible was the only dungeon that had some semblance of quality.
>Atlus B-team
lol
This simpleton finally got a job!
It's a bit hard for her though, maybe she should find a less challenging role.
GF. If I want a mommy I’d get a MILF. And Pyra sure as hell aint a MILF. Besides if she was my mother I wouldn’t be able to fuck her.
the core xenoblade gameplay doesn't even mesh with the idea behind dungeons, there's no mp management or anything that presents a long-term threat, just take dungeons out of the entire series
I'd like to order today's special
>SMT V
You fucking realize this game will NEVER EVER come out right. If it does it won’t be for the switch.
You do realize that Atlus has seperate teams for seperate series, yes? No clue where you got the B team from
>Recent interview with the developer saying it was in smooth development
>It won't be on Switch
user, uh..?
Did someone really recreate the image of some spyro characters shitting on a sandwich with the Xenoblade 2 cast?
People said the same thing about Persona 5 after it was delayed for the billionth time, but it still released. That's simply how Atlus operates.
No, it's just a photoshop.
Oh okay. Source on the Nia image then, if it's not scat?
>grubble
>incredible world building
Incredible for a mobage, I guess. I wouldn't have so much faith in relink either, it's had a long development cycle kept under pretty tight wraps and Platinum leaving halfway through is not a good sign at all.
>Not wanting to see Nia take a fat shit
What a fag
I wonder how 3 will be considering the recent growth of the studio.
God, I love Pyra milkers.
Pneuma is the greatest form of Pyra/Mythra. Look how awesome her tits are packaged up.
Her history also adds a lot to the already great narrative.
Any good places to order the new art book?
2020, MonolithSoft will deliver again
GF first, then she picks up on my kinks and starts emulating 'em. If she can't be my mommy, then she can be my "mommy".
no. it sold out and reprints sold out before even being released.
If liking Nia makes me cringe, then I don’t ever want to be normal!
Cold Steel 3 should be out in September
that shit about malos and mythra's real names being fucking logos and pneuma was way too on the nose
i agree, fellow pretentious effete pseud
Nia... easy on the potato salad
GJ lads. Anyone got the Laughing Girls meme with them?
It's good, but despite what a lot of people tell you the second game is definitely an improvement in a lot of ways. You'll appreciate both games more if you play both of them, though, so definitely do that.
>Persona 5
Poorly written trash with the worst characters in the series
Mass reply niggers should kill themselves IMMEDIATELY!! What the fuck were you thinking?
Don't reply to Personaposters
Persona 5 is babys first JRPG. Tasteless trash that ruined an entire series. Go cleab your tongue filthy retard
>better whine about P5 in every RPG thread
why?
Ignore the nostalgia fags. XC1 has MUCH worse vombat system. It's basically 15% of the combat of 2. Soundtrack is slightly worse. Exploration is MUCH worse. Story has insanely boring parts. It's still good but expect to drop it halfway through
Because Persona 5 faggots keep mentioning the game like it's revelant in any way
I love my wife Pyra!
Why are these blatant shitposting threads allowed?
I've seen OP's retarded "Will we ever get a game as good as XC2" falseflag like 50 times now, this game's reputation on Yea Forums is unsalvageable, and anyone posting in this thread and approving of it is part of the problem, I hate you all.

Even at $20 P5 barely sold a quarter of what LGPE sold. What are you babbling about?
>LGPE
I said JRPG
>pokemon is not a jrpg
LGPE isn't.
why do I have to ask why?
Saying it's a JRPG is like saying Pokemon GO is a JRPG.
why
>How long will we have to wait for a JRPG of Xenoblade 2's caliber?
Until the next Xenoblade. Monolith is the only one left making worthwhile jRPGs.

>those shitty korean-tier animations
>those shitty on rails call of duty sections
Am I supposed to be hyped for this?
The real question is how long do we have to wait for a game like Xenoblade X?
Bravely Third soon
I'll only care if Revo is back. A jRPG is only as good as its music, and Bravely 2 was disappointing because of that.
the artist name is Revtilian
if you can't find it now then you deserve death
>have to wait until 2021 for the next monolith Soft game
Fuck everything.
It's this E3 or never. If they don't show their new game next month, it will indeed be a 2021 game at the earliest. If they show it next month, then it's 2020.
I love when this artist draws girls, but as 90% of what she draws is fucking yaoi I can't follow her.
But it feels so rewarding when a non-yaoi pic shows up
E3 isn't the be all end all for new game announcements anymore. It could be announced in any direct like most big titles have been recently.
There's no way it's being shown this year, and being prepped for release the year after. Monolith are working on at least 2 games right now.
Sure would be nice if that Zelda thing turned out to be a Legend of Zelda RPG in the Breath of the Wild engine, with the same art style.
The virgin Mythra
>Try to mimic what she sees in porn, scratching your dick with her teeth in the process

The Chad Pyra
>Goes back and forth slowly so you can feel every movements
>Use tongue and lot of saliva
>No gag reflex
>Swallows
The Zelda announcement is most likely Monolith asked by Nintendo to help them again on BotW's successor like they did for BotW. As for the supposed fantasy action game, if the first job ad wasn't actually for Zelda but indeed for a new IP fantasy action game, then it's already been there since 2017 I think? We can assume they started working on this game in 2017, or at least do its pre-production phase, so a standard 3 years dev time until its 2020 release. An E3 announcement could very well happen (but no playable gameplay on the floor, just a trailer), though I'm not especially expecting it.
gag reflex is hot though
3 weeks. They'll announce MonoSoft's next project at E3 for sure.
Points for Klaus acknowledging it as pretentious bullshit in universe though.
Why is Rex taller then Pyra
>retweeted by choco
>his twitter handle is daddy choco
I love this man. May he design mechs and lolis until the end of time.
Mythra. Pyra is great but the idea of looking down to see Mytrha's mildly frustrated expression turn soft when I cum is 10/10.
>>Will beat the shit out of you for cumming in her mouth
Oh please. If you've got her sucking your dick you've long since unlocked the insecure sub who just wants to be accepted she hides under all that domineering bitchiness.
probably as long as between X and 2
her boobs are bigger than this. disgraceful.
Hopefully no game will ever sink to this low again
Post more girls from this artist.
Yes because most JRPG's first 1~2 hours are usually on rails and this is the first mission from what they said.
After the bullshit that was Bravely Second, I am not looking forward for this.
The other blades need more art.
XC2 and DQXI basically set the bar too high for the other JRPGs.
They really do. And I just found out today that Finch's heart to heart on the titan battleship is different depending on how far into the game you are.
only Mythra/Pyra get a decent amount of fanart, it's a real shame
Who do you prefer? Mythra or Angela?
Nia also gets a lot.

This was my GOTY when this released but fuck all the pyra/mythra waifu faggotry.
It was cute

Back to grinding legendary cores then.
Retard
Fuck, that's good.
Really hope that one gets translated as well.

That is a decent guide to get them fast, if you're post game
Recently more art of the other Blades is appearing.
When will we get a JRPG with a branching story? Do those even exist?
>embarrassed_dancing.webm
page 17&18 are so good
top-tier and cute
I'll give it a shot.
Good luck
>When will we get a JRPG with a branching story?
We already got countless of them, it would help if you faggots actually tried to play videogames instead of buying uninspired trash because your dick told you so.
>ywn wake up to this
Do these bitches ever wear casual clothes?
no, because they're blades.
I love her so much, bros.
could you imagine hugging her from behind and her noticing your erection and she smiles without even looking back and starts to slowly moves her ass up and down, inviting you to be more more bold and pull down her shorts and get a thigh or butt job while she cooks
If you have this opinion, you are trying to hard
Buy the expansion pass and do challenge mode.
n-no, maybe you could explain it a bit better
This has always made me curious. We know they can change into swimsuits in the game. But let's say a regular blade like Vale or someone wore different clothes than her normal clothes. Her driver happens to kick the bucket. Would her core crystal just be laying there in a pile of her new clothes? Would her default clothes that was probably waiting in her closet back home disappear or go back into the crystal with her? If not would her next driver awaken her naked?
I hope we get some confirmation that it's still in the works. Monolith Soft have become my favorite JRPG developers.
>blessed with the ability to draw godlike tomboys
>unbelievably hot Dragon Quest 3 female hero doujins
>only draws yaoi
There is no god.
Friendly reminder that OP is an elaborate shitposter and falseflagger who hates this game and JRPGs in general and has been making threads like this for over a year.
Imagine trying to keep all your female blades sexually and emotionally satisfied.
I don't wanna get banned again I always end up going full mommy mode in Pyra and Palutena threads. Sorry to be a tease.
Branching storylines are overrated.
Well to actually talk about the game, I've finally almost collected all the rare blades. All I'm missing is Theory (just never did the quest) and Poppi Buster and I'm gonna try to get them now. Feels good to be so close.
Pyra is made for marriage and impregnation.
I definitely have a sweet spot for wedding dresses.
Other than branching storylines, I wouldn't mind something more akin to "alternate storyline". I'm surprised nobody ever thought of using DLCs to do something like this. Malosblade Chronicles, when
I want to massage and grope Nia's petite body in ways that make her flustered.
You're so lucky, I am missign Elektra and Agate.
Fuck getting the last few gacha blades.
>Even when it was cheesy, it was fun. I fell in love with the characters.
I feel the same way. Been playing NG+ and I realized this more than ever.
Good game.
Do you know about how the boosters can help force getting blades of a certain element?
Those work on rare blades?
I did not know that.
Xenoblade 2 fags are the worst kind of fandom.
>Being upset that other people are enjoying video games.
Pandoria is best blade.
They're so cute together, bros
>Best party member dies not even three hours after he is introduced.
get 999 luck, open legendary cores, use boosters to make sure your highest idea level is linked to the element you want.
Why did it have to end like this. Jin was right, this world is wretched.
Mhmm. Fortunately for you, compassion boosters will help you go for both Electra and Agate as they are electric and earth element and that's what compassion gets you. What you want to do, is keep using nothing but compassion boosters on a character that has the highest compassion stat. Open cores until you can't open anymore. Here's the trick. Instead of just deleting any old blade to make more room, make sure you DON'T delete electric and earth element blades. There can only be so many of them to my knowledge and you can't get one you already have. Basically every blade of this elements you get is getting you a step closer as long as you don't release them. Also equip your driver with accessories and blades that raise luck obviously. Best of luck! Let me know if you need help knowing where to grind crystals effectively.
Thanks!
I'll try that
The boosters work but I don't believe there's any cap on how many blades of a certain element you can get. I remember a while back people datamined the game to figure out exactly how drawing rare blades worked.
The clothes are chips that change their configuration. When you wake a Blade they don't have any chip, so they'll be at their default
So we can all agree that Morag is best girl?
> girl
I think X did them decently, they were mostly small side areas that felt like they were part of the overworld. They don't mesh as well in 2.
Funny way to spell Nia.
this. you can tell the game is shit if every single thread is just pure waifuposting and zero discussion about the gameplay or story.
xenofags are the worst fanbase after smash
After your second NG+ you should be able to trade common core crystals for rare and rares for legendaries.
It's honestly not that hard to just spam driver combos on the big ardun or whatever
>STOP HAVING FUN!!!11
Shouldn't have even engaged with them.
I keep forgetting that thing exists.
Am I the only one who thinks the expansion is better than the main game?
No, everything in Torna feels streamlined and refined.
Really makes you wish the main game just focused on the same battle system. Would have loved to be able to play as Pyra.
Imagine chillin this shit game when no one else on the planet even remember that it exists
>Zero awards, not even nominations
>Literally sold more than one million just because there is no other JRPG on Switch
>Forgotten, except on Yea Forums
The battle system in Torna is braindead though. Its orb combo system is shit, you spam combos and orbs without having to think about anything, while in XC2 it's satisfying to build it up to the top like a pyramid.
Not even worth the (You)
Tbf r/xenoblade has actual discussion, Yea Forums is just full of annoying waifufags.
>The battle system in Torna is braindead though.
I wouldn't call it braindead but it's a lot easier to get combos off.
Well, my problem is it's too easy, if i may say so. I was a bit harsh though, because there are ideas introduced in Torna's system that I definitely want to see in a next Xenoblade, like its shared switching mechanic, that wuld work even in a regular jRPG not featuring Blades, but regular party members. i think a fusion of XC2's best features and Torna's best features would work pretty well.
>How long will we have to wait for a JRPG of Xenoblade 2's caliber?
no need to wait, shovelware gets released all the time.
(You)
Streamlined, sure. Refined, no. It's a great fit for Torna because it's a much shorter game, but it has reduced mechanical depth to compensate. It would need a lot of improvement to be called a true refinement of the main game's system.
I've been saying this for so long. It's the first JRPG to give me those fuzzy feelings that Chrono Trigger gave me years ago. None of its flaws detract from all the charm its characters offered and all the fun its battle system gave me, in addition to the absolutely gorgeous environments like Uraya (ESPECIALLY Uraya).
the blade quests are fun as fuck, even if getting to them is a grind.
I can't believe you're still this upset about the success of a video game.
So this game is like pokemon, except instead of pokemon,it's girls...who then refer to you as their "master"
So basically, this is weirdo shit
>Japanese Humor
I always enjoy that post
Going back to the main games makes me wish I could play with the Torna crew again; I prefer them as characters over Rex's party.
Either bait or you've had very little exposure to JRPGs and only bought this because it was on the Switch
I wish I was this pure.
Not the mods considering now you can get banned for it.
the mods have actually started banning for blatant spamming?
Maybe they aren't fags after all.
>mfw my second-to-last Rare was Ursula
This. And I still listen to the soundtrack, especially when I have to concentrate at work. Always give me these feels.
Her name is Homura retards.
>Her name is Homura retards.
This but unironically. And impregnation only after marriage, of course.
Wouldn't change a thing, Persona 5 replies to himself if everyone else ignores him.
Pyra is made for nursing handjobs and being my mommy.

>First Rares on a new playthrough I started last week were Newt and Ursula within three Legendary Cores
I guess I understand now what Takahashi meant when he said the gacha added replayability and variety to repeat playthroughs
Would've been better if core crystals were less common, but you always got rare. Guarantee people wouldn't mind as much then.
Pyra is my waifu!
Yeah, but then you wouldn't have personal beef with Amalthus for shitting up the Blade life cycle.
it’s available on amazon japan
i want to break her down until she can't form words properly and just babbles in between ragged breaths and half-cat moans
Just do it like this:
>Set number of core crystals
>All received through side quests, exploring hard-to-reach areas, defeating certain unique monsters, etc.
>Some of them are randomised, so the replayability the devs were going for is retained and you'll likely have a different set up on different playthroughs
>Some of them are set, so the ones with specific subplots like Praxis and Theory can remain the same
I'm sure they could have come up with some other way to work that in.
same then get her pregnant and take responsibility.
The probabilities are not the problem, as the game makes core crystals rain. The problem is opening them one by one and getting rid of the duds that fill up your inventory. All Monolith had to do, is give the option to open up like 10 cores crystals at once (or more), like any other gacha in existence, and right after the opening you get an option to select the ones you want to keep in your inventory, and voila, all the problems regarding XC2's gacha are gone. I wouldn't mind the gacha returning in the next games with those conditions, it would be fun, even.
She has a true furry face, she had no chance.
Damn, monolith really struck gold with XC2, didnt they?
I just hope the next one gets rid of all the offline KMMO bullshit that plagued this game.
They did, and it's well deserved. Even the OST did chart in the Oricon top 10, if not top 5
>decide to give it atry after /v being spammed by it for year and you ignored threads
>its switch exclusive
fuck me and my retardation
>sameface
please just fucking play xenoblade 1
You could always give the first game a go instead
>The combat might feel a little dated since you've played 2
How? 2's combat sucks ass, I'd go back to 1 any day even though it's virtually the same retarded JRPG shit.
>XC1 has MUCH worse vombat system
Explain. Surely you don't mean because you have to keep track of all that stupid arbitrary bullshit that makes no sense. Also it's great being able to reposition yourself without being punished for it in XC1.
XC1 is literally MMO combat though, XC2's isn't. XC1's battle system is serviceable and did OK for its time, but almost 10 years later, it didn't resist the test of time.
What happened to the Blade Malos had at the beginning of the game? Did I miss the scene where it was dealt with?
>XC1 is literally MMO combat though, XC2's isn't
Maybe WoW combat. It certainly isn't anything like Planetside. And even then what amazes me is that it's still better than this garbage.
Sever died with Obrona at the end of chapter 3.
All of the Torna blades get unceremoniously killed off, it's pretty disappointing.
>Maybe WoW combat
And it's boring as shit. Same for basically any MMORPG in existence.
>It certainly isn't anything like Planetside
Obviously I was implying MMORPG. Nobody would think of MMOFPS when talking about MMO combat in a RPG thread.
P5R isn't really on the XB2 caliber since it's way above that
I'm still waiting for the first two get ported already.
I sure fucking hope so
The lack of a Spring Direct makes me feel like they're really stocking up the announcements for E3, and apparently this E3 Direct is going to focus mostly on stuff coming out 2019
So the stuff we know about are
>UA3
>Astral Chain
>Animal Crossing
>FE Three Houses
>Pokemon S&S
>Luigi's Mansion 3
But there's also the potential for some new announcements for far-off things, so a Monolith Soft announcement may be in the cards
>And it's boring as shit
I'd prefer boring as shit over annoying as fuck. I feel like a fucking autist having to keep track of the stupid bullshit in the top right corner and bottom right corner, because that's all fights end up being about in this game.
Here we are in a beautiful world, and every time there's a fight you gotta look at stupid bars and buttons. Which was at least slightly better in the first game because being in certain positions relative to the enemy mattered a whole lot more, so you actually had to look at the world around you more.
Besides, it's not like the game isn't still WoW combat, what with the retarded way that enemies swing at nothing and STILL hit you. This doesn't happen in any of those Korean MMORPG's like Tera and whatever the fuck. What difference does it make that now there's more autistic bullshit to keep track of? It's still WoW combat dude. Go play something like Nier and tell me combat in this game isn't garbage. Even Nier combat was crap, but it was a hell of a lot better than this.
It was definitely a little disappointing that it never comes up again. Akhos and Patroka both seem really upset by their Blades' deaths, but afterwards its like they totally forget they existed. You'd think they would at least want revenge later on.
XB1 is really good
It's honestly the game that made me feel like JRPGs could do things that WRPGs couldn't. It made me realize that a tightly crafted cast with defined personalities and goals could be better than a game primarily defined by choice and character creation.
Xenoblade has replaced FF as my go-to JRPG series.
>tfw I just realized the first couple of lines from this exchange are near identical to the first couple of lines between Pyra and Rex
Whoever is translating these games deserves more credit, despite the fuck ups
Pyra because of her deepthroat haircut.
Agreed
The Rare Blades get a solid amount of love in-game too. All the post-battle conversations are entertaining as fuck
Nim and Perun talking about how to be cool, or Percival chiding Zenobia for being bloodthirsty.
It's the little shit that made this game endearing for me
Wait, what?
A what now?
come on
Check out the first couple of things that Pyra says to Rex, and the first couple of things that Alvis says to Shulk.
It's kind of generic dialogue but I want to believe it's identical in both situations for a reason
I hope they continue their success. Nintendo treats them well unlike everyone else they worked for.
The scenes where Alvis and Pyra interrupt Shulk/Rex's introductions to say that they already know them are pretty similar, but that's about it. The rest is fairly different.
My roommate is playing this game right now. Should he give Corvin to Rex? He only has Nia and Tora.
I'd wait and put him on Morag.
I don't think it's a good idea. Just give Rex a few Rare Blades, preferably the ones you get from the pity system (he'll get hist first Rare automatically after opening 20 common cores if he don't get one in those 20 pulls. Up to 3 Rares, but the number of common cores opening requirement increase between each of those 3 guaranteed pity Rares)
What about Crossette on Nia?
Good choice. She's way overpowered though, might make things too easy.
That should be good I think, if she doesn't already have many Fire elements. Plus she have healing abilities.
Crossette should be Pyra's blade instead.
>Tfw Alvis will never ask Shulk to touch his chest
Well he's not very good at video games so I'm trying to give him a little help. I think having Nia be a better healer early game might keep him involved.
Knowing him he'll get KOSMOS immediately.
>Knowming him he'll get KOS-MOS immediatly
kek, beginner's luck theory would be proven right once again
Also you're already knowledgeable about the game so you might not need this, but here's the usual pasta anyway:
-Rex automatically gets fantastic blades so you don't need to give him much Blades from the gacha (but give him 2 or 3 good Blades)
-Use Pouch Items as much as possible, especially the ones that lets you recharge your Arts faster. Makes the flow of the battle better.
-On skill trees, you will see an ability unlock "Cancel a driver art with another driver art". It's imperative that you unlock this ASAP because it boosts the flow of battle tremendously.
-Also get the 3 skills that lets you start a battle with the Art already charged on the X, Y and B buttons
-Understand the Attack Cancelling mechanic, as it makes the flow of the battle better by recharging Arts quickly
-Swapping blades refills their arts palette.
-You can combo into and out of swapping blades.
-Most enemies will aggro you if you aren't 8 levels above them. And look at your environment before taking a step in the wild, or you could get your ass raped by a Gorilla 80 levels over you. But the game don't punish you for exploring, so don't be afraid to do it.
-Don't use too much bonus XP at inns unless you really need to because it can completely trivialize the game.
-Focus on the Driver Combo of Break > Topple > Launch > Smash when they will be introduced. The sooner you can understand this set up, the better.
-You can raise trust between a Driver and their Blade by repeatedly using pouch items over and over again. It costs money, but later in the game money is a non-issue.
-Raising trust with your Blade is needed to unlock the Blade's skill tree in most cases.
-Don't waste protocol overdrives. Especially on common blades. The game only gives you a few.
-DON'T kill the little Arduran in Torigoth until you feed it to Lv.99. He'll become the best Legendary Cores farming spot.
great choice, best bitball
Did the original Japanese lyrics to A Moment of Eternity ever end up being released like they were for all the other songs?

THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF TRAINING
I AM CUM
Yeah I beat the game recently, didn't do NG+ though.
JUST GIVE ME THE ORDER
LETS SHOW
THEM
A
THING
OR
THREE
This Granblue game unironically looks like it had a lot of effort put into it's overworld. Not so bought on the combat though thus far, though. I'm probably going to grab it.
When is Zelda going to go back to the way it used to be? If BotW is an indicator for the future of the series, I'm not too happy. Ideally they could renovate the formula they used and add more life to the overworld instead of activating towers and doing mini dungeons, but eh.
Is anyone else concerned with who they might choose as the head artist? I feel like it's narrowed between Saito, Choco, & Tanaka, but I get this feeling that it might be someone entirely new. I don't think we'll find out until they announce their next project either, so I'm a little hesitant. I'm hoping E3 shows us something.
>I feel like it's narrowed between Saito, Choco, & Tanaka
I don't really think so. If it was just between those three, would they really have mentioned it on their hiring page? They've all worked with Monolith Soft very recently, so if they just wanted someone they'd worked with before there'd be no reason to put out a public 'hey, we're looking for someone whose art can become a staple of our games' statement in the first place.
Absolutely based and positively redpilled
alright who keeps making those pics of Nia?
I really hope Bayonetta 3 gets an E3 trailer. I'm being too hopeful though.
I guess that's true. Even still though, the formerly mentioned artists could still be in the running for the spot of head artist.
That would be great, but I get the feeling when they announced it the ink on the contracts wasN#t even dry yet.
So with a three year dev cycle it might take until the end of 2020 until it comes out
How could Rex not know why Mythra was blushing if he knew what 'one eyed monster' meant?
>Torna ending with that shot of Rex opening the door to where Pyra was.
Kino
Bayonetta 3, Metroid 4, and SMT V shouldn't have even been announced as early as they were. I feel like they mostly did it to hype up the Switch's release.
He knows why she's blushing, he's just trying to change the topic and get Nia off his case.
I actually really disliked that. I can't explain it quite well, but I liked Rex as a protagonist because he was truthfully just a basic teenager. Torna's ending made it seem like he was fated to be the Aegis Driver or something, and it was meh.
I couldn't agree more. The stuff with Rex in Torna was totally unnecessary.
I really hope it's not Choco. His faces are the worst.
So do I need to play the first game to play this MMO simulator or can I just go in? The redhead is cute and I want to impregnate her
I never considered this and in retrospect now it kind of bothers me too. But it's not like it was a complete ass pull with that "those eyes" comment from Malos
Probably done to combat the entire "no games" thing.
It worked, but it does suck
Nia > Pyra > Blade Nia > Morag > Mythra > Brighid > Pandoria

This. I fuck with Choco's mecha designs, but damn his character designs need work. Although I like Praxis & Theory quite a bit. The Anti-Gnosis mechs were kind of cool.
I wish Xenogears has more presence in XC2. It was there but incredibly subtle.
You'll miss out on some extra context for some things, but you don't need to play 1 first.
First and second game run side by side so I guess it doesn't matter which you play first. There's stuff you won't think is as cool. But I know two people that played this as their Xenoblade game and still liked. Honestly it's probably most people's first Xenoblade game. Lots of old "fans" swore it off as soon as they saw the artstyle.
I think those mechs look pretty stupid too honestly. They look too leggy like they'd be super easy to knock over.
I'm psure it wont be tanaka which is sad because I think his style is the most distinctive, takahashi probably recgonizes that while saito is popular his style is horrendously sameface. Choco has improved over the years too and I hope he retains some role.
There's an entire reasoning for why it happened.
>Mythra loses control of her powers and overloads
>Her ether ability goes into overdrive to the point where her "Monado" abilities allow her to see hundreds of years into the future
It's still bullshit, but there's a good explanation for it. As a matter of fact, Ontos probably tweaks ether particles to see into the future the same way in XC1.
XC2 was literally Xenogears lite, though. My only issue with it, is that Takahashi intentionally made the story lighthearted instead of going all out on darker developments. I still like the game, but the story's potential rubs me wrong.

>How do I unlock premium cylinders?
Long rest at an inn until they appear for purchase. That's literally it. They'll eventually disappear again, though.
If you have the DLC there's a quest you can do that lets you craft them, too.
I want mythra to pee in my mouth
Go to Torigoth
Sleep at the in
check Cylinder shop for Premium
Repeat until it succeeds
It's a very dumb mechanic and I'd rather if they were unlocked forever after a certain story point or something like it.
btw, Kätzchen is german for pussy (cat)
why the fuck does monolith soft do these things instead of just having it available to buy like a normal item
seriously, what the hell is the point?
I thought the marketing system was pretty nice in XC2. Buying shop deeds and what not. My only issue was that they locked specific items behind said deeds, like items that boosted your movement speed. That was pretty retarded.
No idea, I find it as dumb as field skills were in both XCX and XC2
Honest question here : if i'm really into the game at the point where we team up with Vandham, is it too late for me?
What?
Sorry forgot a word. If i'm not really into it. english is not my native language.
If you're asking if Vandham is a permanent party member, he isn't so ignore him. If you're asking if you'll be locked out of Uraya or something, no.
Honestly, I'd say chapter 3 is the breaking point, after that you get access to all 3 blade slots and should have enough SP to purchase the "Cancel Arts into Arts" affinity, which makes battles flow much faster.
Can any Yea Forumsros help a brainlet out here?
I'm trying to emulate pic related on retroarch, I've downloaded the game from nostalgialand.net
It's separated into 3 parts and using 7zip i've extracted and can run part 1, but whenever i try to extract 2 and 3, 7zip gives a data error and i wind up getting the files with 0KB of data.
Are the files screwed up or is there something specific i'm supposed to do?
Forgot pic cause am brainlet, please forgive my retardation because I don't emulate lots of games
>I'm trying to emulate pic related on retroarch
I dunno how's the progress on the PS3 emulator user, sorry.
XC2 was fucking bad, DQ XI P5 and SMT IV all shit on it and that’s this gen alone
Oh. Well, maybe? It depends on if you've been feeling that way the whole time you've been playing the game, I suppose.
Personally, I was in a similar spot around that point (not having fun with the combat because of all the tanky enemies in Uraya, only mildly interested in the story) and it did get better, but it was a really rough ride. The combat only improves from the point you're at, but for the time being it really does suck. And while the latter half of chapter 3 got me kind of interested in the story again,.it's followed up by a chapter 4, which is full of unfunny filler bullshit and just sours everything.
As far as I know, as long as you got all parts in the same folder and extract the file from the first, things should run just fine, so no idea.
The file might be corrupted.
Do people ever get tired of falseflagging and mentioning other JRPG's? If you have a victim complex that you're shitty JPRG didn't have a fresh world to explore, it's okay. We understand, friend.
the amount of doujins is fucking staggering considering how little existed of X and 1, saitom truly is a miracle of the universe
how can I find you
>Ontos probably tweaks ether particles to see into the future the same way in XC1.
If I remember correctly, at some point in XC1 visions are explained as being basically really fast and precise ether flow calculations.
The fabric of reality itself is made of ether and the Monado handles ether better than anything else, so reading how and where all the ether is moving let's you predict the future. Mythra's foresight should work much the same way, she's just usually not as good as at it as Alvis.
crawling from the mouth all the way to the stomach to then end chapter 3 at the top of the massive stairway was kino
Uraya was amazing
If I had to rank my personal favorite Titans in the game, I'd choose
>Uraya
>Tantal
>Leftherian Archipelago
I wasn't really a fan of Gormott, Mor Ardain, Temperantia, or Indol.
Yeah, it's how Alvis explains it in Ose Tower.
>Your visions are the flow of ether itself. Ether is the very source of our world's existence.
>Where and how much ether there exists now, and in the future, can be predicted.
>Therefore, in principle, the future of living beings such as us can also be predicted.
And even more are coming, but I wish the other blades get some too.
I want to have penis in vagina sex with Newt.
the leftherian islands were so fucking serene and beautiful, the cloud rift was super imposing and theme of fonsett gave me a feeling similar to kokiri forest from Oot but a lot more nostalgic
god I wonder what would happen if monolith was allowed to make a zelda game, they made the overworld of botw and it was stellar
Mommy with benefits
I wish Leftheria had been bigger, it felt tiny and the concept was neat.
Let's recall things here
What were the functions of each aspect of the trinity core?
I think Pneuma was in charge of data processing but I could be remembering wrong.
Judging by the concept art, Leftheria and Tantal were supposed to be bigger, or at least have more to them. Leftheria was especially my favorite Titan though, and it felt like there could have been so much more to it.
As far as the actual lore is concern, they're all the same. Anything more is just guesswork.
Elysium in the Dream.
Then why the fuck did they need three of them
I thought they were separated into three because they could all provide different functions, but I guess they're like RAM sticks then.
Why there is not way to save them? can't the Zohar bullshit something?
Is Perun a good blade?
I wish there was a way to save them. They all deserved better. Especially Lora, Jin and Haze.
What I mean is that it's entirely possible they had different functions, but all we can really do is guess based on the little information we do have, which doesn't really mention any differences between their roles.
The game itself didn't say much at all (the most interesting part is when Klaus mentions a 'trinity processor sync rate' in the flashback, and even then that isn't explained) and the backstory that came with the Siren model isn't clear on how they actually operated, or what the actual point of having three AIs work as a collective instead of just one was.
>Is Perun a good blade?
Perun is actually quite a shitty blade. Cool design, but she's heavily outclassed by a lot of Blades. I use every Blade though since all of them can be viable depending on your setup, so it doesn't matter. Do what you think is fun, user.
Let's check the chart.
I mean it just makes sense they'd have different functions, given how each part of the core performs differently in gameplay to begin with.
Considering how well preserved Lora's body is, could one of the Aegises have brought her back by using part of their core to stand in for her heart (a la Pyra reviving Rex)?
Or is it just too late anyways?
Then she's a fine first 5* on Rex so she won't be missed on anyone else

your a bold one
Block Rate Up 6 aux core plus two elemental reflect aux cores, one for each element that's appropriate for the enemy you're fighting. You have to know the element of their attacks first, but you can basically no-sell dangerous attacks by switching to buster when they come.
Xeno girls enjoy Nintendo products.
After the vouchers were announced, a bunch of people in the Japanese Xenoblade community started recommending that people use them to get XB2. Pretty straightforward.
Supposedly they managed to get ゼノブレイド2 trending on Twitter in Japan for a tiny bit after the announcement, though I'm not sure how true that is.
pft. that is nothing! You should see a fighting game thread.
Adenine + Patroka = triple damage when you hit elemental weaknesses.
T-elos, Crossette, and Fiora can damage cap arts pretty easily.

I'll try it out, haven't beaten Elma Redux on BoC myself yet

This is basically the most we know of the Trinity Cores
do these threads just thrive off of waifu posting? There's not much to talk about anymore.
It's unfair
>Just now realized the Lifehold Core is basically a Ghost Factory as it transmits the remnants of human spirits/existences into robot bodies
Still need to beat this game one day. Got to Tantal and just got bored as hell.
>draw an ass shot of a character
>intentionally draw her with no ass
i'm glad i'm not a loser like this
IMO Tantal was where the game finally stopped being interrupted by filler and became consistently interesting to me (though some of the plot developments are a little dumb).
The bullshit at the start of that chapter burnt me out pretty hard, though, so I can understand why you stopped.
Because in Japan the prices of the games is not a standard like in the west, where a new game is $60. Over there it will range from like 4500JPY to 8000JPY, and Xenoblade 2, like most long big games, is in this higher range. So if you want to maximize the value of the coupon, you're better off buying two games in that higher price range.
tl;dr the coupons are actually a better deal in japan where game's prices on some particular games is higher than in the west
Yeah I bought the game and got there in like a couple days, played it a shit ton. Then I got there and just didn't care to continue. Some of the mechanics and such just started to grate on me, and I wasn't really seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
I didn't know that detail.
>Ywn redeem 200 of them for a Pyra gf
Dragon Quest V, FFIV, VI, IX, XB1, Chrono Trigger, and SMT Nocturne are all better than this game. What's up with the XB2 hyperbole these days, either with some picture of Pyra showing her ass, or something "choose one" image with Mythra and Pyra? Have they surpassed Odyssey and BotWfags?
XC1 is the better game. It feels much more complete and the story is more engaging tham 2. Only the combat is better in 2.
Yeah I don't really get the point of these daily threads, I think they're trying to trigger literally anyone who likes any other JRPG. Or just trying to start shit like when that one VN had a billion threads everyday leading to the creation of /vg/ which honestly is where these XB2 threads should have been forced to be like a year ago.
>buy coupon
>have a 0.1% chance of spawning Pyra
Would put all of my savings in it and buy hundreds of them.
I think the other version is better.
Please stop reminding of the dreams that will never be.
>saving the twitter shitty compressed and lower res versions instead of the higher res version
user.
Because you can get xenoblade 2 and some other pricey eshop game for less through those coupons.
I dropped XC1 around the 2/3 mark from boredom. I nearly dropped XC2 around the 10-15 hour mark, but stuck with it and it became one of my favourite games ever. I preferred everything in XC2, music, characters, levels, whatever
If you continued XB1 from where you were, you'd probably love it too. The story towards the end is one hell of a ride.
>game hints Rex x Pyra throughout the whole game, even a little montage of both them is shown in the credits
>barely any development with Rex and Mythra
>only way to know if Mythra has feelings for Rex is Kora's sidequest
Who would choose Mythra over Pyra
hey guys I just woke up and wanted to say this game was great okay going back to sleep guys
Is not my fault that almost everything is on twitter.
nia folded cunnilingus vaginal_fingering torogao
Odyssey is never talked about, BotW just results in arguing for 500 post, and Xenobalde 2 is mostly waifu posting. It really started with Nia MINGE threads, and now it's either:
"Buy her game" with some image of Mythra/Pyra or both
"Choose one"
Or using some hyperbole referring to the game.
I don't recall it being this bad.
Odyssey has the issue that 64 is still the best 3D Mario to date.
well, there's always fanfiction
They're the same girl you dolt.
>only way to know if Mythra has feelings for Rex is Kora's sidequest
The game hints it several times during the story several times. But probably mostly because he reminds her of Adam.
>Mythra and Pyra are the same girl
t. Didn't beat the game
Yeah but they separate them at the end
They share a core crystal. Still one girl, only now in two places instead of one.
Yeah, except all the fics are either shit or on hiatus. Even my favorite one has gone off schedule lately and I fear for it.
>still only hitting for 200k max
What am I lacking here
Actually, they share Pneuma's core crystal. But close enough.
That's basically the same thing. Pneuma is the core.
I know what you mean, man. It's gotten to the point where I'm running メツブレイド stuff through machine translation just to get my fix.
A) Pyra is your girlfriend
B) Pyra is your mother
C) Pyra is you mother and your girlfriend
D) You become Pyra's hotpants
By default, twitter shows a lower res and more compressed version, but if you add :orig at the end of the filename, you get the original file. Or just install one of the countless greasemonkey script or addon that does it for you automatically.
E) I ejaculate in her hotpants and make her wear them.
I'm glad they gave us superior swimsuits in the game
I really love those swimsuits designs. They perfectly capture the original outfits, not just with the color, but all the little things and accessories. Really well thought.
I think they saw that everyone was already doing two pieces swimsuit for them and decided to went one piece ones to be different.
Hell, I'm bored and desperate enough. Where're you looking? Japs don't typically post fanfic on Twitter do they?
They post everything on twitter for some terrible reason.
He's playable in the DLC, you can just play as him. You don't need to play as girl at all.
They can write two light novels in three tweets.
Bruh your taste fucking sucks, have some standards dickhead.
Yeah, but DLC Jin doesn't have the same arts as Jin in the main game. I want to be able to use that stuff outside of the limited areas the game lets you use it in.

That's Douglas the Scottish Twin.
I still wonder how her calling Brighid Dromarch managed to make it into the final game. The mistake happening in the first place is utterly bizarre, and nobody noticing it is even weirder.

You guys know /vg/ was created for this exact reason? don't fucking pretend there's not enough interest in this game to get one going, you have daily threads that hit bump limit.
I don't. Choco's mechs just don't do it for me, they look like boring crystals or generic modern cars. They just don't vibe with me.
Wait, when do you mean? Because I know she has a post-battle conversation where she actually does speak to Dromarch so maybe you're the one mistaken.
Because OP is part of the XC2 cabal.
I am looking forward for his girls, not the mechas and cars. They can get someone else for that.
It was patched out about a month after the game came out, but when the game launched Morag would yell 'Dromarch!' when she switched to Brighid.
I went through most of the game thinking I was hearing it wrong because of the VA's accent, but then the voice files were ripped and she really was just saying that.
We must stop them!
