Play Chronicles of Xenoblade

I just realize she is supposed to be like that demon from SMT that is also a ice girl with almost invisible legs, what was her name again?

Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
Oh well. Fuck whoever decided to make some of this shit cost 200-300 stones.
She honestly isn't worth the trouble. She was my second blade, I started her quest the second it became available, and it still took me until chapter 8 to finally finish it.
The missions are nice for filling out blade charts in the endgame, but while you're doing the main story they just sour the experience by making you deal with menu bullshit every 7-10 minutes. I don't know what whoever designed that quest was thinking.

A good girl and a great blade.

I've been messing around with a save editor.
Blade 3 is Pneuma ([ML:HomuriName ]), and I tried using her on her own.
>Outside of battle, she has an idle animation and nothing else
>If you have her set as your first Blade, you can't open the Start menu, map, or even the quest list, nor can you switch between Blades with L
>You can start battles with her, and she doesn't have a time limit, though once you beat all enemies, the music continues to play, the NPCs disappear, you can't target any other enemies, and the only way to stop this is to jump from a high distance to take fall damage and kill yourself (it won't regenerate since it still thinks you're in a battle)
>If you try speaking to an NPC, nothing will happen and you'll be locked in place with only control over the camera
>If you set Pneuma as the second or third Blade and have another Blade as the active first, you can open menus again
>Her artwork is rough artwork of Mythra, and attempting to bring up her menu will quickly change it to the next Blade, though you have a small frame of reference to see details
>If you start a battle, you can switch to her, and Rex will shout "Homuri!" (Pythra! in the dub)
>Despite being able to Blade switch, this prevents you from switching elemental combos in battle since it'll try to switch to the top or bottom Blade instead
>On menus, it calls her Pyra or Mythra depending on your in-game choice, her weapon is the Tertiary Sword, her Affinity Chart is 0/0, she shares the same Trust value as Pyra and Mythra (up to 65,535), but her Trust rank is stuck at E, thus acting as a 0.9x multiplier to auto-attack and bringing it down from 1298 to 1168

I just started playing this over the weekend - why the fuck doesn't Pyra start explaining things to Rex as soon as they wake up on Gormot, like what the Aegis is/means, how she knows Gramps, what her past with Jin/Malos is

There's a lot of shit is being left out just so I can be kept in suspense when any reasonable person would have explained these things already

She doesn't want to get him too involved because she thinks she can only bring him suffering.

I figured she was so uncomfortable with her past (like how she gets really awkward even when trying to answer a relatively innocent question like "why weren't your fire powers affected by water") that she was just hoping she could take Rex to Elysium without having to explain all her old baggage.
What's her idle animation? Is it new, or is it something reused from Pyra or Mythra?
Also, it's interesting that that voice clip was actually used for her. I thought it was just something extra left in the files that wasn't attached to anything.

Didn't Pneuma had an idle animation based on what name you choose to call her?

I thought that was just a different pose in one of the cutscenes in chapter 10?

Forgot to mention that her in-battle icon, pouch item icon, save menu icon, etc. are all Pneuma. The rough Mythra artwork on the character menu is also halfway up the screen, moved off to the side between the third Blade and Driver, and you can only see the artwork of the legs. She also has no favorite items.

There is also a second Pneuma intended for use in certain story events that's not meant to be playable, and she's the 74th Blade in the index.
>She has no idle animations and T-poses outside of battle
>She doesn't have her laser wings
>You once again have to set another Blade in first or she won't appear on the menu
>On the menu, she has Mythra's normal artwork
>You can view all of her menus normally. She starts off with a Primary Sword without an icon, her Affinity Chart is also 0/0 and viewing it will award you with Ultimate Weaponry and Intermediate Weaponry. She has no Aux Core slots.
>Like the other Pneuma, her sword is always in its big active glowing mode even when on Rex's back
>Unlike the other Pneuma, the game will crash as soon as Rex attempts to draw it for a battle
>If you switch to her from another Blade in battle, Rex will call out Homuri/Pythra, but she doesn't appear, nor does her sword, and Rex swings his arms around with no weapon doing no damage in the motion of his previous weapon. It retains the first two Arts of the previous weapon, but their icons are altered, and the third Art disappears. The game then crashed for me

By idle animation, I mean she stood in place, but had small movements so she didn't appear motionless. She didn't have animations that appear by waiting, and she doesn't follow the party, just popping in whenever you reach a certain distance. She has the fastest cooldown of all Blades, has an animation and dialogue for switching in, and doesn't start at max Affinity when switched in. She has an animation for reaching it along with dialogue. She doesn't have any out of battle dialogue.

I'll do Torna and NG+ eventually!

What else do you want from me? I already own all three games including the special edition of 2, the Shulk amiibo, the moonspeak artbook, the Mythra 1/7 scale figure, and a Nia body pillow.

I have a backlog to get through. Sue me.

I'm saved right outside the last dungeon and I'm not going in until I pull KOS-MOS. She's the final blade I need to get and somehow my luck is so bad that I've spent the last 2 days griding cores to pull her. My party has gone from the mid 60s to level 77 now just from farming and I've clocked 120+ hours in in-game time so far.

Really interesting stuff, thanks user.

Agate was worse for me. I nearly doubled my play time in Chapter 8 getting every Blade.

So the event Pneuma has field skills while the regular one doesn't? Or am I reading that wrong.

You're reading it right. Unfortunately they can't be used. Their charts are empty with no way to increase anything (not that they change and get stronger from it), meaning all her abilities are inherent. Their Strength value is therefore incredible low at 8 as it increases by completing nodes, though that only matters for certain merc missions. So it's like while the event Pneuma has Agronomy, Keen Eye, and Focus, their current level is set to 1, their max level is set to 1, and they aren't even present on the chart, making them effectively pointless. Kind of a shame as Agronomy was the only farming skill missing from Torna (Jin - Mineralogy, Haze - Forestry, Minoth - Entomology, Brighid - Botany, Aegaeon - Ichthyology) so it feels like her having Agronomy means something. Botany functions for Agronomy spots there though.

Thanks for all the Pneuma stuff, hackanon

Not a problem. Now if only I could get other Drivers like Malos, Vandham, and the three Jins working.

Here's the event Pneuma's menu info. I applied a Tachyon Chip which is why it's a Shooting Star Sword instead of a Primitive Sword.

After 300 years xenoblade has finally sold something
twitter.com/nswitch_news/status/1130307385476702213?s=19

The wild of god is perfect

Seeing xenoblade reactions imagine outside of xenoblade thread really fucks with me for some reason

I also got the Broadsword working again, but unlike Pneuma, it only works if you don't have any other Blade equipped to Rex. I haven't even started NG+, so when I tried to add Mythra to the party with only the Broadsword/Utsuro equipped, it gave me the message that it couldn't be disengaged, but it worked when I tried any other Blade. Interestingly enough, the Utsuro Blade for the Broadsword has Pyra's model, but it's invisible. While the Broadsword is accessible in Rex's weapons menu, it disappears again if he has a Blade in his party. It also doesn't seem to retain the WP you put into the Aegis Sword, and is exactly like how you left it in Chapter 1. It can't Topple enemies with Anchor Shot either. However, its Utsuro does gain Trust from pouch items and battles, so you could hypothetically raise it to 65,535 (it would still be stuck at E rank).

I tried adding Sever (chapter 1) onto Rex, but it seems he's specifically programmed so that you can't access his menus. The same will most likely apply to the Jins and Malos should I get them working.

There's also another Rex programmed in, specifically the full salvaging suit one. It only ever appears in specific story cutscenes and when salvaging. It has some minor differences to regular Rex.

Goddammit, I love drawings of the girls in normal clothes.

>[Good news] The masterpiece is sold stupid by the "Nintendo catalog ticket" effect. The value does not go down "Zeno Raid 2" bites into eShop ranking! !
Is it saying the game got a boost in sales thanks to the voucher system or just that its eligible for it?

Wait, what does this means? That the coupon thing, which japs meme into drawings of xenoblade 2, is unironically boosting its sales?!

If you manage to get Malos working, I'd be curious to know how his version of Sever's moveset works in fights (if the game even lets you get into battles without crashing, of course).
It made it back into the best sellers list on the Japanese eshop, because the price of the voucher is only something like 1000 yen more than XB2's regular price. It's a really good deal.

I can't seem to add more Drivers, and I haven't been able to remove my current ones either. Rex can't use chapter 1 Sever because his weapon is a special version of the Sword Tonfa that only Malos is programmed to use. If I could access his menu, he would be pretty similar to the NG+ Sever with an identical Affinity Chart. His weapon would be set as Thanatos and Core Chips wouldn't apply. He'd have the same favorite pouch items. But since he's a separate Blade to NG+ Sever, doing something to one wouldn't affect the other.

Certain Blades have multiples.

I imagine if it manages to pass the two million mark then they'll announce that, and it definitely seems like it could pass it.

Well, that's obvious. Coupons in Japan is a better deal, since games aren't your standard 60$ over there. Prices are not fixed, and can go from 4000JPY up to 8000JPY if not more for big lengthy games, and Xenoblade 2 is one of those games.

Is Ursula even a good blade?

Any Blade can get through the story, but in terms of overall potential, dedicated healers are completely overshadowed by any Blade that heals by dealing damage, as well as any Blade that deals large damage and can be equipped with a healing accessory.

Please don't remind me.
She's okay. Her skill that heals the party when you switch for her is pretty good, but I'd still say she isn't worth all the trouble.

I think if Rex does somehow make it in at this point then it'll either be as another character separate from the fighter pass like Piranha Plant was, or in a second fighter pass later down the line.

>I figured she was so uncomfortable with her past
That and because her main motive was to kill herself

They're tied to a lot of the main themes of the game - finding a meaning to your life or your 'true self', living for others even if you can't find those things, and so on.
The Japanese lyrics are a little clearer than the English ones -

About to start playing this and I have a question. Should I use the DLC cores or do they break the game?

The actual fighting cutscenes in XC2 and Torna are good as hell.

Take your meds

They do, Crossette and Corvin are both OP as fuck. The game's already pretty easy without them, though, so it's not really the end of the world if you do want to use them.

>Rex & Pyra
>Not Rex with swappable Pyra/Roc/Nia

>Still no playable blade mode
AAAAAAAAA

This

Why not Rex with Pyra/Mythra? That would seem the most likely, although Mythra would be censored of course.

Assuming XC1 or XC2 get remakes in the far future, what improvements would you add to make it better than the original?

game's slow, slow cutscenes slow plot slow exploration slow combat with slow animations

Pyra and Roc yes, Nia no. Her weapon is basically just another sword, give him something more interesting that isn't a massive spoiler.

>not wanting a broken character who can heal himself infinitely

Better graphics, more titans, playable malos, new ending

Fuck me, I'd fucking love the beach costumes as alt costumes in Smash

I can't really think of much for XC1 besides
>Bionis Shoulder being included in the game as a completely explorable area that is between Makna Forest & Eryth Sea, instead of simply being warped there
>Proper artist on the designs, whoever ends up being Monolith's head artist
>Better combat UI
>Easier way to boost affinity links between characters
>Proper fucking armor designs
>Obligatory Zohar scenes, somewhere in the story
That's about it, though. They can keep the OST the same, honestly. Maybe alter some events in the second half of the story, and make the Mechonis as a whole flow better in terms of how you explore it.

Is there a way for us to know the current sales of xenoblade 2?

No.

All you need to know is, it's confirmed to have sold past 1.5 million. By this point in time, I'm sure it's around 1.7 or so. I fully expect XC3 to easily surpass 2 million, though.

>Rex gets in
>Stage gimmick is Core Crystals spawning as a stage-specific item
>Picking one up summons a random rare blade as a temporary ally
>Small chance of the Core Crystal just dealing massive damage when picked up instead

I don't know about that being a guarantee.
It'll largely depend on when XB3 releases and how it's marketed, I think. XB2 benefited a lot from releasing in the Switch's first year.

I'm currently playing X1 for the first time and are dedicated healers like Sharla a must in this game? I'd like to rotate my party a bit but her skills are such a safety blanket in fights that most of the time I just keep her anyway.

Nope, they aren't required. Lategame I used Riki for most of my healing.

>XB2 benefited a lot from releasing in the Switch's first year.
Aside from having a way smaller install base and having to compete with a bunch of much-have titles for every new owner.

I’m playing the first one on 3DS right now and just made it to the forest. Any tips for things to keep track of from here?

i'd highly recommend giving everyone the jungle armor you get there because it's fucking hilarious looking

As of right now, no. It got pushed out of the top ten best selling Switch games so it's not in the quarterly report anymore. The only way we'll find out now is if it manages to reach two million sales, at which point Monolith will probably make an announcement about it.

Oh, I wasn't really looking

Here's the obligatory newbros pasta, user. Feel free to ask questions once you play it:

-Screencap tutorials because there isn't a reasonable way to view them again.
-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.

I like the more grounded fights like , and the mech fights, but the fights the one in your webm where they're just zooming around in the sky like it's fucking DBZ or something are kind of shit.

As were a lot of series that aren't Nintendo.

Yeah, normies will never play xenoblade 2, you must like jrpg so that takes many people out of the window.
Then take into account it is not a corridor game like FF13 or some normie-tier RPG, to understand the game you must take your time, it is harder to learn it organically on the first run.

Is the Torna DLC worth it?

Absolutely

If you don't mind doing sidequests to progress the plot, sure.
It's got its own issues, but it fixes a lot of the more irritating things from the main game and generally feels a bit more polished.

I'm in the whale's stomach, I think. The last time I remember was fighting some big spider thing in there and losing a few times

You're right before the point where it gets good, you get access to chain attacks in the very next area.
Also, unlock the "cancel arts into other arts" skills on the driver skill trees as soon as possible, it helps the flow of the combat immensely.

Similar to Homura and Hikari, his name in Japanese is just a really fucking simple explanation of his powers. It's just the word for 'destruction'.

I was so confused when they first showed this. Everything looked like Xenoblade Chronicles X in terms of graphics, but none of it looked like NLA or Mira.

Yeah, from 滅 (Metsu; Destroy, Ruin)
Pyra is ホムラ (Homura) from 炎 and 焔 (Blaze)
Mythra is ヒカリ (Hikari) from 光 (Light)
Dromarch is ビャッコ (Byakko) from 白虎 (the White Tiger, one of the four divine beasts)
Poppi is ハナ (Hana) from 花 (Flower)
Roc is スザク (Suzaku) from 朱雀 (the Vermilion Bird, one of the four divine beasts)
Brighid is カグツチ (Kagutsuchi) from the Shinto god of fire.
Pandoria is サイカ (Saika) from 災禍 (Disaster, Calamity)
Aegaeon is ワダツミ (Wadatsumi) from the Japanese dragon god of the sea and water.
Rex (レックス) sounds like X and is Latin for king.
Nia (ニア) is written as Niyah by Monolith Soft and resembles にゃあ (nyaa), the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat meowing
Tora (トラ) comes from 虎 (Tiger), hence Tiger! Tiger! and the stripes on his design. Nopon protagonists have fierce names

This line of thinking is fucking dumb.
That being said, the localization in his case wasn't great, and some of the other changes they did were just kind of pointless.
Play the game.

Original is the blonde. She creates the red one as another personality following a traumatic event. The emerald one is their true power.

>Pneuma (Mint) is the true form after awakening
>Mythra is a dialed down version of that, when not in the Pneuma form
>Mythra was mind broken and created Pyra out of mental trauma
>Pyra is the form Mythra created with all the personality traits that people wanted out of her (more caring, understanding, actually knowing how to cook, being less bratty)
That's a rough explanation, anywho.

You know what's fucking dumb, changing a character's name for a stupid reason like that when anyone who cares will figure it out.

I remember they came up with some silly theory regarding the online icons. Basically, Rex doesn't have a tag and neither did Plant and the other 74 characters.

It's not supposed to be 'anyone who cares' it's 'anyone who plays the game'. This shit isn't meant to be some subtle underlying meaning you look up after the fact, it's completely in your face.

I think people are a little too harsh on the localized names. They do a pretty good job of retaining the lore, or at least similar meaning anywho. My personal favorite is Brighid, as she's the God of fire/smithing in Irish Mythology.

I'll start it now, user! Some advices?

This is a pretty good set of tips for someone starting out

To be fair, Pandoria is the bringer of destruction since her core controls Genbu or something along those lines. My mind blanks out around the Tantal portion of the game, but isn't there a weapon called the Omega Fetter there?

What does her milk taste like?

I already played all three games three times (only two for Torna), GIB X2 MONOLITH.

I think most are pretty good, but there are some changes where you just wonder...why.
Like, why the fuck did they localize every one of the four beasts but leave Genbu as is? Why shorten Galatea and change Ousia to something totally different? Or change 'Salvator' to 'Savoirite'?

What environment regions do you want to see in X2? I really love icy locations, so hopefully some of that.

Xenoblade was always just scuffed, weeb FF XII.

Sadly, it was from JP twitter (as most fanarts are from, nowadays), it's alsmot impossible to find it now. Tried searching with the original filename, but it didn't help.

Attached: VCR Pyra.jpg (640x480, 32K)

People who shit on the localisation mostly seem to be purists who would never play the game dubbed anyway. It's honestly pretty well done and they had a decent reason for doing it, too (hearing the dub VAs trying to pronounce names like Kagutsuchi and Wadatsumi would be orders of magnitude worse than what we got).

>Why rename every beast but Genbu
Actually, iirc they did this because the English voice actors had trouble pronouncing the other names properly. Genbu however, rolls off of the tongue with minimal trouble. Dub issues, once again.

>My mind blanks out around the Tantal portion of the game, but isn't there a weapon called the Omega Fetter there?
Yes, there is. Though it's a controlling device and not a weapon, if I remember right?

Attached: D5oVSMsUUAA5lvf.jpg orig.jpg (600x555, 62K)

Honestly, there's a lot of good ass artwork on Japanese Twitter. I might have to make one solely to keep tabs on good artists. Although I never really look back at the art I save. I just collect it, mostly.

I want another ice area with ridiculous ice physics, like Valak in XB1.
And I really want an underwater area of some kind that you explore via mech.
It's Siren's "control core" that Mythra uses to control it...or something. Kind of weird that that never came up in Torna, by the way.

You can't really go wrong with snow/ice, but I love me some surreal jungles, even if it's not new

Attached: Kinoblade 2 - Tantal.jpg (2133x1200, 1.97M)

>Siren's
Ophion's*.

I think that's what Tantal was missing. Really clunky ice physics that unironically made navigating the area way more fun.
>Undersea
Sounds like it could work, honestly. Maybe something like an undersea cavern level that you can only access via Skell? Just some thoughts.

I like to follow this account twitter.com/TAVNBUT as it retweets many fanarts, and I follow some of the artists as well, since they mostly retweet each other, and it allows me to grab some missing pieces here and there not posted on the retweet account

Honestly ice areas are far and away my favorite of the series. Sylvalum was the closest we got in X but it's just not the same without some wonky ice physic slides. Also I hope the home base of X2 is customizable/rebuildable, kinda like an expanded Colony 6 Reconstruction quest. Biggest letdown about NLA in X.

I made an account a while back to get access to porn hidden behind those links that check if you're following the person who posted it. The lack of tagging there is incredibly frustrating, and finding old art is a nightmare, but there are a lot of people who just retweet all the new Xenoblade art, so you only really have to follow a few people to see most of what's being made.

I mean, this is as far as Takahashi has gotten in his vision, and the scope and ambition of the games are easily better than the prior series. Gears and Saga had a lot of good concepts that have been carried over to Blade, but it just wasn't enough.

They did say that xbc2 "sold way better than their expectations", expanded the planned DLC like crazy, hired loads of new staff, opened a new studio, they are in their golden age.

If it doesn't happen, I might actually be disappointed. Hell, I just hope the game does well in general to be honest. It looks pretty cool, and it'll easily tie me over for awhile. I'm probably only going to play it docked, though.

Do you have the one from the artbook that shows the First Low Orbit Station?

English when?

1. Finish any and all long-running multilayer questlines you currently have going on (Ursula's, 12 brothersisterpons, Nopon doubloons, etc.) as quest-related items and progress DO NOT PERSIST
2. Finish feeding the Ardun in Torigoth to level 99 and kill it so you can respawn it from its gravestone in NG+
3. Farm legendary cores if you want to roll the Torna Blades early as you won't have access to your entire party worth of Blades for a while (Tora will only unlock QTpi when he unlocks QT in chapter 4, Rex will only unlock his Master Driver abilities at the proper point at the end of chapter 7, and you'll only have access to Zeke and Morag's Blades when they join your party)

I wouldn't say I greatly prefer Torna's party, but their involvement in the sidequests really gave them a lot of extra characterization beyond the stuff in the story, and that helps a ton. XB2's quests feel lifeless in comparison, since the normal quests have next to no input from the party, and most of the time the Blade quests focus so heavily on the Blade that the party feel more like background characters.
I don't think so, but I'll look.

I love the Torna crew more than the vanilla XC2 crew, for the sole reason that it feels like a wholesome family. That, and I like Addam and Lore far more than Rex.

Expelled from Paradise is exactly the kind of scifi movie I enjoy. Great themes, great movie.

I felt kind of sad when the DLC was over and I had to go back to playing the base game; the combat was fun and there were a lot of small QOL improvements I miss.
Also the ending of Torna was pretty great.

Her Japanese voice sounds okay sometimes and awful others.

She's a great healer, the problem is that you really don't need much if any healing at all once you get a crit heal meme build going or just use Blade Nia, and even oftentimes even okay or mediocre healers offer enough healing to keep you going

Klaus tried. And they knew. It didn't end well.

XB2's story just kind of seems to ignore the existence of Nopon for the most part.
You've got all this focus on the relationship between humans and blades and the Nopon are just ignored in all of that. They're not even an afterthought.

I refuse to touch gachashit

This is cringier than the dance webm

I didn't ask for your opinion dipshit I asked who Ryan is since he's the new SMT shitposter and why he's in a Xeno thread but whatever. You will reply to me since you are obsessed, thanks for bumping the thread.

No.. You've got it all wrong. As someone who hangs in SMT threads all the time, Ryan doesn't even exist. There's some schizophrenic user who calls everyone who dislikes P5 Ryan, while simultaneously bashing Persona 3 for some reason. He's apparently someone from discord, but who knows. SMT fags don't really dislike Persona, they just hate Personafags. They're insufferable.
