I hope they build off of Torna's gameplay
new game after BotW 2
X2 or blade 3
Does anybody find it wird how Nintendo hasn't capitalized on xenoblade 2 success, i mean we have little to no merchandise besides the obligatory artbook and soundtrack, we got a figurine but besides that nothing, i thought we were gonna get raped like fire emblem but thankfully we haven't got there yet
Why didn't we get permanent phenuma
Because it can cause all kinds of nasty symptoms like difficulty breathing, fevers, or even death.
me too, it's the first time that I've really felt it click in this series without it having some frustratingly stupid bullshit. The difficulty curve felt much better than 1/2 as well and combat felt a lot less random and janky. Playing through 1 again and holy shit Shulk's foresight ruins the combat in this game, completely destroys the rhythm and pace and 90% of the time the information isn't even useful.
Takahashi wanted the happiest ending so Rex got both of the girls he fell in love with. He did like her ponytail though so I guess you can't say he got the happiest ending. Takahashi might actually be a hack unless we get a direct sequel and the blade sisters both sport ponytails.
Yeah we definitely need some update to give the aiges ponytail but Takahashi is a hack for not letting us us permanent phenuma and malos
Most likely X2, then XC3 for the first year of the Switch's successor. Alternating between each branches of Xenoblades feels just right.
Here is your xenoblade crossover bro
Think its because they let Monolith Soft handle a lot of that. They have kept it to a reasonable amount which is good. Other JRPGs have an issue of shoving itself in your face. Persona is fucking awful about this.
The thing I'm most surprised by is them not making an actual microtransaction gacha game.
Based
Quick reminder it was him that prevented a 100% sync, thus making the experiment what it did, gained true sentience, a body, and got hand of the Zohar, thus gaining God's power. Alvis is the true Xenoblade's mastermind.
Less than 2 mil aint exactly impressive
Is that a Dragon Ball Z English dub reference?
They went all in on Fire Emblem for doing roughly the same numbers.
When did target numbers get so inflated? I'm not necessarily questioning you, but I'm kind of frozen in time to back when Capcom thought ~2.6 million was disappointing and it was clear they were being blinded by greed.
>tfw finished xenoblade 2 months ago
>feeling empty after finished it
>try playing another game but it does not feel the same
What do i do bros? I have yet to find a game with this so much heart and soul poured into it
I'd love an XBX remaster on Switch with unbotched re-localisation done by the usual main-series team instead. And add some content to either give a proper unrushed conclusion to the story, or make a sequel.
Have you tried
>Dragon's Dogma
>Zelda
>8PT
And that's why we are gonna kill him next game
What is 8PT
Play Torna if you haven't yet
>tfw feeling EVEN MORE empty after it, now with a void in my heart
It hurts
Octopath Traveler
>Buy the expansion pass
>Play Torna
>Play NG+ with the new context Torna provides for the main story
Game sales have gone up over time. Back in the day, 1 million was a huge achievement. Now it's just OK unless it's an indie game. A lot of big series sell over 10 million. Xenoblade 2 did fine overall. Fun fact: FE Awakening was considered this huge success and it sold about what XC2 did.
Octopath isn't definitely gonna make anyone feel anything
Mah lads of exquisite taste. PONYTAILSBROS, RISE UP
Well no shit, the budget of Awakening is that of a bag of chips and a soda
They have multiple times, including the one dedicated to support, so it's unlikely that all of Monolith is working on BoTW2... there is fact a High chance there is another team also working on Animal Crossing, but that still leave two teams working on who knows what.
The fantasy project of theirs is still a mystery, it could be in development, or could be cancel, we don't know, but for recent interwiews, is easy to assume that at least on team is working on Xenoblade content, even if it's just the pre production or planing for future entries.
I also hear (can't confirm myself), than rather than a port, which they can't handle anyway, they rather a re imaging of X... so maybe a remake of X that's closer to what they intended? With some extra content that expand on the ending.
Unlikely I know, but it's hard to think they can actually work on a sequel, when the first game is still stuck on the Wii U, and nobody seems in the labor to port it.
>Where does the series go from here?
Hopefully X2
>Have we heard anything?
All we know is that Monolith is expanding like crazy, Koh Kojima wants to continue both the X and numbered series and Takahashi wants to do a dark, violent and erotic game.
>Takahashi wants to do a dark, violent and erotic game.
Yeah... he may want to find a third party partner for that. Nintendo is open to publish and even produce Mature games, but I think they always have the cover of "is still a third party developer doing so!"
I am playing through the post game of the base game right now, doing Blade quest, hunting optional bosses and punishing myself on the trials. But I intent to start Torna once I have at least finish the Blade Quest.
What kind of "happy ride" I am in for? I can only imagining knowing how all their characters end by playing the main game.
>Less than 2 mil aint exactly impressive
and yet more than the creators expected:
usgamer.net
I'm wading through to the end of Chapter 6 right now. Could use more Rare Blades. Gonna try that one farming technique on Mor Ardain. When does Rex get that one ability people keep banging on about? And do I get more Overdrives? Some blades are in Morag and I wanna send em around and abouts to maybe Zeke and Nia. Specifically, Agate and Adenine.
>Gonna try that one farming technique on Mor Ardain
Just don't, it's an old ineffective rage inducing farming "technique" from when the game was still 3 days old. It's a waste of time. Got get Kassandra though.
Then what should I do? Just play the game organically?
Not sure what of Rex abilities you are talking cause I tried to avoid spoilers on my playthrough, but most of Rex abilities came by the end of chapter 7... though you can only use them in chapter 8 onwards.
Yes. Just make sure you're smashing enemies and you'll get enough cores. Late game you'll be drowning in hundreds of legendary cores with a bit of farming.
Actually, yes. That's the best way to enjoy the game. Don't go of your way to farm rare Blades that aren't needed since the story gets you the best Blades anyways. Farm them when its not a chore to do so, when you'll be able to steamroll the feeded up Arduran.
Mostly, yeah, the core farming is only truly effective on the post game... you could at least try to get the fixed rare blades if you are truly in need of one... or the DLC which give you, among all the other content, some exclusive ones.
I mean, if you're all about AAA games, sure.
If 3 doesn't have as many cute girls with big tits we rage.
Any anons still interested in getting Malos and Jin to level 99. It got a lot easier recently.
Hello? Meleph doujins?
Pyra is a good blade
Never scanned.
Morag is underrated.
Actual underrated Blade.
That is not Nim.
I'm going to get around to doing it eventually, just need to finally commit to starting NG+ again.
How'd it get easier? Just the Maelstrom clipping trick, or is there something else that made it extra easy?
I still dont get how Pneuma "died". A blade can have their body destroyed but as long as their core is intact enough they are fine. Plus as we can see due to Brighid, they dont lose abilities. As they go through their rebirths. So Pyra and Mythra should be able to fuse back into Pneuma anyway. Might not be as powerful because they cant access the conduit at the moment though.
Pneuma can only exist thanks to the conduit, no conduit = no Pneuma.
There's really no reason to believe that. They were originally going to have Pneuma respawn but went with the duo just for the fun of it.
>ineffective rage inducing farming "technique"
But it's so easy. If you're talking about the krabbles, that is.
This is true, though. I've had to start the game over twice due to summon autism. I've learned my lesson, and I'm just rolling through this time. The only side quest I've even done was for Vess.
We can't be 100% sure though. No conduit = no reality bending powers, but they might still be able to gattai
It's not like Takahashi came out and confirmed that that combined form is completely gone or anything, it's just an assumption made by the fans.
If anything what he said about the early plans about the ending suggest that they still could do what you suggested, since it implies that the Conduit wasn't necessary for the fusion, it just gave them a power up.
>you could at least try to get the fixed rare blades if you are truly in need of one... or the DLC which give you,
waith what? the DLC gives you blades? I have only seen legendary cores I'm just in chp 4 where?
Actual underrated Blade
Two of the best rare blades are DLC.
Where? do you inlock them by story or where?
New zombie walk glitch lets you go up the stairs to the flight deck. So you can get access to the salvage points with enemies with levels in their 20s. I don’t know about that trick but I’d assume it give you access to that salvage point on the Maelstrom. However I believe you can’t skip travel there so this should cut out time redoing the glitch after going to the inn. Also worth mentioning you need the cargo mission active so there is a Krabble that you can lock onto from the Exchange to get out of the dying animation.
Check the DLC menu. There should be some items that mention NPCs in Argentum having special core crystals for you.
One's a healer, one's a tank.
So we all know that Pneuma is more powerful than Alvis, right? At least in combat
Neat, that sounds quite a bit more convenient. Thanks user.
Delete this
>Where to take things
The same way they normally do. Have a completely new setting, which at the last minute connects to the last games. This time it will be like Chrono Cross. You'll have two worlds, which are strikingly similar, but different and can warp between them at various points. At the half way point, you'll find hints about the worlds past and how they use to be, an AI that reveals his name as Alvis tells you about how the worlds are colliding and that if this isn't stopped, it will mean the destruction of both. MC forges a new Monado with Alvis' help and merges the two worlds.
>Not with Homura
Nigger cant even get it right
upset stomach ending is the real ending
>Can we have a Xenoblade thread?
Sure if isn't a XC2 thread
>Where does the series go from here?
Hopefully a brand new direction that polarizes the fanbase even more.
>Have we heard anything?
siliconera.com
i was actually pretty disappointed in the ending. it was so close to having a nice, bittersweet ending where the kid doesnt end up with the weird ass older women love triangle BS, and instead goes back to a more realistic situation where he and Nia could build a relationship and "who knows" together. i really thought that it would happen so rex would be with someone his own age. but no, had to be weird instead.
dumb ending. X was better
>Hopefully a brand new direction that polarizes the fanbase even more.
Would they start pandering to the fujoshi audience?
t. niafag
>start
ughhhhh
>Where does the series go from here?
With 2 doing so will going with Xenoblade 3 would be the best choice. Best keep the momentum.
>No Malos lewds
S U F F E R I N G
im not a nia fag. i actually had no interest in her until she turned into a slutty blade. the story just wouldve been better for it
For the cabal to fuck off from this series forever.
Would you want a direct sequel to XB2 with the same characters with a new story in the new land?
Only the cabal would want that trash.
Yeah but x2 and blade 3 must come first
I want xenoblade warriors.
They exist. There's not many, and most aren't great and a bunch of the better ones were deleted along with the artist's twitter account, but they definitely exist.
Nah. Same for XB1. I'd take stories set centuries after the events of those games (long enough for the world to be vastly different), but not right after.
Bang
This
Nah. I don't trust them to be able to do that. Someone will make a retarded decision on what these characters did with their lives after the fact and get people all upset. Just better to leave it ambiguous.
No matter how much I would like a big cross over again, between 1 and 2 as they try to save both worlds. Better to just do something completely new, while referencing the previous games.
It introduces too much for there to be one simple conclusion. There's a reason that the Ganglion is said to only be doing the dirty work for another race. The alien conflict at the beginning of the game with the Ghosts also needs to be addressed.
They said a port would be too hard and expensive.
>Have we heard anything?
Yep.
>OST interview (5/23/18)
Kojima (speaking for Monolith):Wants to keep the Xenoblade series going, and "take good care of" X, meaning they want XB3 and XBX2. Just making numbered titles will get stale, so they want to do original stuff too. Wants to work with Mitsuda again if he's right for the project. When it comes to music, wants to "take on surround sound", and have tracks change depending on what's happening in the game "if we had the time".
Shijo:Thought the schedule for XB2 was tough and "all of us have things we wanted to do but couldn’t". Wants to create a game next time where they don't have to stress as much about that and can say “We’ve done all that we could” by the end of it.
Takahashi:"Me personally, I want to do something you’d see on an American cable drama like ABC. Violet (not a typo) and erotic and heavy. Something that there’s no way we would be allowed to do it." "Completely serious though, I would like to do a Z rated (CERO's equivalent of the M rating) game, and just do whatever the hell I feel like doing."
>USgamer interview (9/28/18)
>Though Takahashi says he's not yet ready to talk about what we might see in a future installment of Xenoblade Chronicles, I asked him if there's a chance the series will return to the harder science fiction setting we saw in Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U—i.e. will we return to exploring planets and piloting mechs instead of travelling on the backs of the huge, living Titans that define Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Takashi says it's possible, but a "third option" isn't off the table, either.
>"I'm someone who gets bored of whatever it was I did last," he says. "If the [Xenoblade Chronicles] series continues, you just might see it take a third option. It might go down a path it hasn't gone down before."
There's also a hiring page for a new RPG project that's very likely a Xenoblade. It went up around October last year
They aren't square enix, user.
This is what heavens looks like.
>Takahashi:"Me personally, I want to do something you’d see on an American cable drama like ABC. Violet (not a typo) and erotic and heavy. Something that there’s no way we would be allowed to do it." "Completely serious though, I would like to do a Z rated (CERO's equivalent of the M rating) game, and just do whatever the hell I feel like doing."
So does this mean a departure from the more shonen-type feel XB2 had, or will it get even deeper and darker into that genre?
>banged
It really sucks.
I deleted it myself.
Actually pretty sure it looks like this
>Where does the series go from here?
Back to the dumpster it climbed out of.
It means the cabal will get pissed off because it's not a waifu titty simulator.
Yeah, sure, you did
Stop replying him, you fucking moron.
I always do.
I don't care. I don't want to take even the slightest chance.
>Oh, you thought that Zeke and Morag had good chemestry? Too bad, Morag died because they still went to war over land disputes. Someone new is Bridgt's user.
>Thought you were going to have Nia back? Turns out she actually DID die shortly after the events of XC2, power over use you see
>Wanted Rex to at least have a good home life? Nope, Mythra got jealous and decided to run off and do her own thing. I hope you have fun with a powered down Rex and a completely new cast that you don't care about, but are suspiciously close to the old cast anyway.
New story and characters, or don't bother.
He makes it pretty explicit that he means something like "an American cable drama". So no, not shonen.
>Oh, you thought that Zeke and Morag had good chemestry?
No i didn't
They can do whatever they want, number 1 fan.
Why don't you post your screengrab collection to convince him?
American cable drama is definitely as low as it can be though.
user, Zeke and Morag aren't a thing, not matter how much shippers try.
>Oh, you thought that Zeke and Morag had good chemestry?
user I have bad news for you.
Really? I thought they were great. Very Buddy cop thing going on.
Why do people think I mean romantically?
Though it would be funny if they were in an arranged marriage, while doing things with their blades instead. That would make for a good story.
it's great for a game that took ~45 people 2 years to bust out. They reused the engine from X so the production costs for this game were pretty low, they probably more than made up for the mediocre performance of X. They're not Mario or Zelda but more niche, AA games are extremely important for a console's staying power. AAA main franchise games are meant to shift consoles.
Wait for postgame to bother farming cores to get all of the blades, maybe even NG+ if you plan on doing it. You need a character with 999 LCK and treasure sensor gear if you want it to go smoothly. It only took me about 2 hours of prep time and 3 hours of farming to get all of the blades. You hear about people in these threads who didn't take a smart approach and it took them 500 or more hours before they had all Blades. I had the game 100%'d in less than 200 hours.
Fucking weeb
Dude, is cute and lewd but NOTHING in the game suggests ZekeXMorag, is more ZekeXPandy.
Haze is best girl
Zeke x Pandy is maximum wholesome
>you thought that Zeke and Morag had good chemestry?
What the fuck? Did you just close your eyes, cover your ears and go "LALALALALALA THIS ISN'T HAPPENING" every time Zeke and Pandoria were on-screen together?
This guy is definitely onto something
I agree, but pandy is underrated. Maybe is the haircut?
I think you guys need to remove your shipping goggles, because I never suggested together in THAT way.
They were simply the best pair for interaction. Every instance of them together was comedy gold and they work great as a team.
It's just she was overshadowed by Zeke himself
Yes you did, with "good chemistry".
>tfw monolith add custom for link and zelda inspire by xenoblade 2 again
Nah, if anything he'd pile more suffering onto Lora and Nia somehow.
Regardless of everyone arguing your examples instead of your point, I 10000% agree with you.
Look at FE:A to FE:Fates, the games are barely connected and only just barely reference each other. Yet Fates manages to still absolutely fuck over anyone who shipped with Severa, or the others.
I am interested in what the gameplay will be like, especially since they said the next title could be a third path different from both X and 2.
How is he gonna fuck nia over?
This is the true OTP of XC2. Their backstory is so cute and romantic.
He said he is tired of "writing sad stuff".
You can thank Amalthus for allowing them to stay together.
I eagerly wait Monolith's cameos in BotW2
He was a good man corrupted by a horrible world. Some people just break.
That looks like shit, just like all the cabal's gay ass crossover shit.
Daily reminder Amalthus was a good guy.
I dunno, Nintendo barely acknowledge XC2 anymore.
Not enough love for out /fit/ goddess
Or fucking Trigger and Cross.
>Opps, the remnents of the fucking empire you dismantled gave all it's remaining tech to what was suppose to be a simple farming village and they destroyed everything and killed all the characters you loved and the future got wrecked again and nothing you did mattered
Yeah, I have suffered this shit too much, just leave it alone thank you.
Bayonetta is all of that (in a way) and Nintendo fronted the bill for a sequel to a game they previously never had, as well as a sequel to that sequel.
If Takahashi presents it well, I'm sure Nintendo will get it the go ahead.
>want to fuck your driver but her other blade has 10+ year head start and all you get to do is play third wheel and occasionally go mom hunting while they spend time together
>creepy priest dude you expressly do NOT want to end up bonded to has your driver killed, resonates with you, steals half your core and fucks you up so much you don't even remember your name
>eventually your old teammate kills you because he's an edgelord who'd rather put you down and end the world than try to fix anything
being Haze is suffering
This is based Furukawa's doing, following the steps initiated by Yakuza-man
I still think he just needed love.
Apart from the whole refugee abduction and experimenting thing
Yea Forums is only place that still acknowledges it, and only for waifu threads, everyone else moved on.
Again, MS is not SE. If they were, you should be right of being afraid as those motherfuckers have ruined not one, not two, but THREE happy endings, people shit on them for it and yet they DON'T learn!
What would your mom think if they say this image saved on your computer?
God, I want a new Xeno game or just some ports.
cute...
>Refugee abduction
Nothing wrong with that
>and experimenting thing
Someone has to get its hands dirty for mankind to progress
He said that before he wrote 2 which was a sickeningly happy game by Xeno standards and he said he was ready to move on from that as well. And Torna was part of 2 which included poor little Cinnamon roll Lora getting her heart eaten by her daddy-bf.
Needless to say, all Takahashi games have a mommygf, cute and funny magical girls and cannibalism of some kind. So I expect these things in Xenoblade X2/3
>want to fuck your driver
I haven't played Torna, but even in that one flashback I got the feeling that she was like that. Does Torna give her even more moments of being really clingy with Lora?
Man... i never had a wii u, so i never played X. It looks so good though. I really hope they port it. Either that or i'll just have to upgrade my pc and play it on cemu
I would have thought more fans would be weirded out by the age gap between Jin and Lora.
Imagine seeing the girl you protected for all these years die right before you. Jin basically saw his kid dying in his hands. No wonders he end up the way he did.
Back in the trash. XenoX was the last good Xenoblade game.
Reminds me that edgy dude from Blaster Master Zero 2. His whole reason to antagonize MC was because he saved his world and his waifu, while he failed.
What's with Takahashi and cannibalism anyways
X1 had Kaiju
XX had Mecha
X2 had Gacha
I guarantee you that X3/XX2 is gonna have idols or something else pertaining to japanese pop culture
Wow, so progressive. Monolith not afraid to have a female harem lead. It's a miracle.
Just makes me more sad about the end of these three. I hope they are all happy together in the after life.
Lora you liar, there was clearly favoritism
you mean tokyo mirage sessions?
But why did he wait for 500 years?
And what's the meaning of the last line in the Torna ending when he speaks to Azurda?
I hope he partners up with Kaneko and they make a Not Symphogear game. Can you imagine a rhythm based RPG? Like #FE, but good?
Based Takakashi is the Kawamori of vidyas we deserve
We don't speak of that...
Basically, only the implemantation won't anger as many people
>X1 had Kaiju
>but X2 didn’t
??
Because they were looking for Pyra so they could fix Malos's bent CPU pins.
Of course, because we won't feel betrayed on what we SHOULD have gotten.
Did I say that tho
The Titans were only supplement to the plot, world dressing basically. While the Bionis and Mechonis were front and center to the plot constantly.
>no abs
pass
Eh, sorry Nia. I like you better in the default trainers outfit. I just can't think of you as a hand to hand fighter.
You know the conduit isn't actually gone, right? It left, but not the universe. It just was unable to be used for the beansprout anymore.
They weren't waiting, they were looking for Pyra.
And even before Jin met Malos and formed Torna I doubt he was just sitting around doing absolutely nothing. He had to go from being relatively determined while talking to Azurda to full-on despair mode somehow.
In defense of the gacha, it does make for fairly unique playthroughs. I was comparing the Blades I got to the ones my friends got, and it even became a race to see who could obtain every Blade first. I will say that it reached a point where it was getting increasingly frustrating to get the final Blade.
BULLSHIT!
#FE was good, what are you plebs talking about.
We need another DLC. It could even be a separate game if they tried.
But Bea doesn't fight using her hands.
Who the hell are you gonna fight Nia, you weigh like 80 pounds. Like 36 kilos.
Yikes.
No, it left the universe and entered some other universe. It's what it does. If it existed in that universe still, then Pneuma's power would still have worked.
>It left, but not the universe.
Didn't Klaus specifically say it would leave the universe?
She is cosplaying Bea, who fights with her legs and Nia has one hell of legs.
Just ignore him, acknowledging him only encourages his mental illness.
Yeah, I think they should have had some inverse thing going on, that after you reach the final three blades, it just gets easier to get them, since at that point there is no longer a need to hold them back.
I still have fun replaying the game though and seeing the difference, it really did work well in that regard. No two playthroughs are alike, just the final bits become really annoying.
I cried so hard with AKB0048. How does he do it?
I've been trying to get into this game for weeks now and I only have about 7 hours played. I'm struggling to justify playing anymore
Gacha shit is incredibly retarded. Every character is retarded and needs things spelled out for them so far. Characters do absolutely nothing but talk over each other constantly making battles infuriating. The combat isn't even great it feels like a subpar mobile game.
Give it to me straight; what's the appeal of this? Is it really just the cringe moe shit and waifus? I refuse to believe the story is a main point of praise considering it was only interesting up until blades came into it at all
Niariam.
Canibalism
The pity system honestly should've been something implemented towards the end of the game as well, not just at the beginning.
I don't think anyone would've complained if after you beat the game the first time the pity timer returned to make getting the last few Blades easier.
The game unironically starts ~20 hours in chapter 3 finale.
See I've heard this but I need to know why exactly it picks up. That's 20 hours of annoyances and waifu garbage so far. It's really getting to me considering I love the world design and monsters
The titans were a crucial part of the world and a core part of the story. Obviously not as in your face as Bionis and Mechonis seeing that their souls were major characters, but they were more kaiju like than the things that were more Metal God and Giant God.
Why does the cabal shoehorn Nia into other games?
Jin's just what, 10 years younger than Lora? It's not much of a gap.
I just don't know. That's why it made me think of Kawamori, he and Takahashi just have the ability to just make it works.
>tfw Final Stage never
Too bad Macross Delta wasn't as good at least that's what I think though he wasn't exactly directing it, if I recall right
Icoo, I like your art, but sometimes an outfit just doesn't flatter the character. 2B kind of worked because it's the same kind of leotard stuff that Blade Nia has going on normally, but this just doesn't work.
>Xenoblade X2 goes full Macross
I'm down.
The plot starts to pick up, and you unlock the best blade in the game. Gameplay becomes much smoother.
Delta suffered from its own popularity of all things. It was meant as 13 eps and a movie. The 1st movie is pretty good and I hope the second really delivers.
I am not Ico and she does it for fun.
>Blades
>Age
user...
Jin was her Blade since she was 10
They don't age physically but they learn and grow alongside their Drivers, Jin was awoken when Lora was 10, making him effectively 10 years younger than her.
Yes, that's exactly what I said.
Though... he IS a flesh eater. I now that I think about it, I now he was doing SOMETHING to prevent it, but still, how did manage to stay young over 500 years? And will Torna explain me what the hell was the deal with Lora's body being on a princess crystal?
but he didn't start as a pooping infant now did he
He starts as a 20-something dude and basically raises her.
It's a little weird.
>Just makes me more sad about the end of these three. I hope they are all happy together in the after life.
I was disappointed in Torna for cutting the story off too short as I wanted to see the end of the group. I enjoyed the cast of Torna FAR more than in the base game. It felt like there was more synergy and the characters were memorable without being overly zany.
It doesn't work that way, Blades are "born" with a set personality (unless they get BLUED), normal aging ratings doesn't work. You can get a blade with a childlike personality and will remain childlike forever.
>effectively
Can't really say that, since they at least do have some life experience from their basic functions and act as a certain age based on how they look, obviously within reason.
Jin might only be chronologically 0 at that point, but he's still more mentally mature then Lora is. He's looking out for her, not the other way around, at least until she's much older.
Good bond with driver > high quality flesh eater. Everyone else was kinda shitty by comparison.
All of my yes. Plus Takahashi loves his henshins.
Pyra and Mythra just found out that you tried to kill their husband and they want you dead. The object to your right is your melee weapon and the object to your left is your ranged one. How long do you survive?
I have a mouse and an Ipad... Can I appeal to Rex's mercy?
>I now that I think about it, I now he was doing SOMETHING to prevent it, but still, how did manage to stay young over 500 years?
The only Flesh Eater we see age like that is Minoth, the 'failed' one. Jin was not only NOT a failure, but he also had all the tech from Judicium Torna had collected over the years, as well as Akhos and Obrona later on, who could help more with their ether manipulation.
He's still at the end of his rope by XB2's time, though. It just doesn't show up in his physical appearance like it does for Minoth.
>Melee weapon is my mouse
>Ranged weapon are my headphones
Welp
Ether baths. The main problem that Cole had was his ether flow had become stagnent, thus his body wasn't functioning properly. Being part human also means susceptibility to disease, which is another thing that happened with Cole. Removing the blockage, getting a bath of fresh ether and curing his disease would have done wonders for Cole and likely returned at least some of his youth.
Flesh Eaters seem to live for quite a while as long as they can properly take care of themselves.
Must be something to do with that chamber he sleeps. Remember that Jin is in shit condition most of the main-game.
>And will Torna explain me what the hell was the deal with Lora's body being on a princess crystal?
XB2 already explained it for you, dummy. Also, that isn't crystal.
I was playing on the "princess on a crystal" trope, but still, I honestly don't remember how we went from point A, of Jin tearing Lora's heart, to point B of her being on... Ice? I guess that makes more sense with Jin.
>Jin kills the Indoline monks and flees with Lora
>freezes her body
>hobos about in despair for a couple hundred years until Malos finds him
Jin froze her body after the whole heart-taking bit and then keeps it around to remind him of how bullshit the Architect is or something. I don't remember exactly what he says.
Jin's issue seemed more to be overuse of his amazing awesome "Nothing personal" super speed.
If he keeps the stress of his body down, he probably could have lived for even longer. Flesh Eaters that have a Driver likely could avoid this issue, since they wouldn't be constantly handling large amounts of Ether themselves. Remember that Poppi said that Jin was producing his own Ether, like she was, instead of pulling it from the surrounding atmosphere. Pyra and Mythra could do the same as well, but being a full Blade meant they didn't have to worry about the stress it would cause on them. Flesh Eaters are part human and those parts seem to break down.
Nia will likely live much longer then Jin did, as long as she continues to be conservative with her use of her extreme healing and has a Driver to help regulate her ether flow.
Cockblocked by a fucking corpse
Based Nia
was the N3DS version of the first game any good?
>promiseblocked by a fucking ghost
malos had a hard life
As good as the original as far as I am aware, none glaring issues besides the lesser resolution.
>Little kitties
Wut?
I know this pic is suppose to just be a joke, but I have to wonder if this is suppose to be Nia having adopted some Gormotti kids, or if she had them herself.
Poor Rex/Coco, still waiting for that artbook to come in.
Before playing this game I thought that GUI was filled with tons of unnecessary crap but once I started to play every fucking shit is necessary (maybe the party gauge not so much) and I still don't know how linked attacks works.
>hobos about in despair for a couple hundred years
Unless Mikhail managed to get away from Indol on his own and live somewhere for a couple hundred years while also continuing to stay completely butthurt at humanity, I don't think it was THAT long.
J guess what I meant was the "verse," not the Earth universe in XC2. I'm saying future games will involve more conduit shenanigans.
Oh, yeah. Obviously. It's a major plot device, it's not going anywhere. If anything Takahashi would sooner make it more and more obvious it's suppose to be the Zohar. Though I bet for 3 it will only get a passing mention, maybe shown in the flashback. Saying that it's absence is causing problems that they didn't forsee.
I do wonder when Jin and Mik met back up again. It couldn't have been that long. Maybe 10-20 years? I think they had the two ships for a while, but the warship wasn't up and running until recently, or at the very least it's transformation wasn't.
That’s actually heartbreaking when you think about it.
I could see that happening. What I really wonder though is if Klaus is our new Contact since he pushed the Zohar button and made the new universe, and if so if we'll ever see him as a main character.
Malos took things pretty well there, all things considered.
But yeah.
At least Lora was relieved from suffering rather soon
I want to bully her and make her cry
and use her uncontrollable thunder to power a city
Just started the game, it seems to be quite heavy on the tutorials but still pretty comfy so far.
I heard there's some gacha stuff in it , is that true?
It's nuts that she wasn't a NG+ blade like Telos, Akhos, Patroka, or Mik or their respective blades.
She would be great for just blazing through the game again.
There is, but it's mostly optional and they hand the gacha orbs to you constantly. Like every large enemy drops two and every treasure chest has one in it.
I would recommend not using all of your rare and legendary core crystals on Rex, though.
Nothing you have to pay for, but it's still the same kind of elements. Blades are a random draw and it can get tiring toward the end when it refuses to give you one you want. You don't need rare blades to clear the game though.
Be prepared though, the tutorials never stop, you'll get a final tutorial in chapter 10. Also, make sure to read them, as you can't bring them back up again.
>some
You can get through the story without the gacha but it will make your life easier if you open cores for about 10 minutes each chapter and keep the common blades.
Okay thanks, in that case are all the blade good or i should hope for something in particular?
>You don't need rare blades to clear the game though.
You kinda do, but they make sure to give you them.
There's a point in Cliffs of Morytha with multiple skill checks. You need to have Roc, Wulfric, and Aegeon deployed to get through it unless you want to do some crazy micromanagement of shitty 1 Mastery blades.
>you'll get a final tutorial in chapter 10
The execution was abrupt but you kinda need those messages if you want new mechanics.
If it doesn't have its own page in the blade album, it's disposable.
>using little's girls pain to create energy
Sounds like a good plan if you ask me
Here's the obligatory beginner's pasta:
-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.
Haven't played the game since I finished Torna a few months ago. What should I do in the main game before going on to NG+? I already maxed Ursula.
It depends on weapon and skill loadout, also certain blades have modifiers to stats. So for normal blades, be on the look out for luck mods, those will increase your chance of getting better blades when you have those equipped. So be sure to put as much luck as you can before you open a bunch of cores.
>tfw having to wait until the latest chapter to play her again
>I already maxed Ursula
You already did what's need to be done, i'd say. Stack up 99 cores of each type before restarting, that way you could roll the NG+ Blades right at the beginning
I've been playing NG+ the past few days. You actually have her the entire game. Pyra and Mythra, too, even in the scenes where she's removed from the party.
I just want her with her own affinity tree as her own blade with her own lines to whisper to Rex.
files.catbox.moe
Hey kids! Remember, fucking your blades makes you gay! And you guys are not gay, right?
Yeah, that is pretty weird
Well maybe Rex and the gang will get featured prominently in some future Nintendo crossover thing.
Maybe in Smash Kart if that ever becomes a thing
Why couldn’t Amalthus use Pyra’s core crystal? Why did he give it to Addam?
A question. How does Ursula actually rise her levels up? I keep sending her on the idol missions she has, but her levels of Soul, Vocals and looks don't seem to incrase. I am in the post game, so I have no idea what I am missing here.
And while I am at it, anyone can give me a hint of where I can find the Water Seal for Zenobia? I don't want to look it flat out on the internet, but I have no idea where to start besides it has to be Uraya.
>top 10 video game homosexual couples
Their dynamic ended up being Bayo x Jeanne tier for me
Hypocrite.
It wasn't that he couldn't use it, it's that Malos told him that he couldn't control it and that made him pussy out and gave it to someone else, so if they couldn't handle the Malos problem and the second Aegis went running off on their own too he wouldn't be the one getting all the shit.
He was afraid of messing up again, and wanted someone more suitable to take down Malos.
I rewatched that scene yesterday.
Malos tells him "You can't control it!" when he's about to touch it, so Amalthus refrains and opts to have a try-out session to find a driver who can control it, unlike how he can't control Malos. This is how Addam ends up with her.
They increase when you get a certain amount of badges. Later levels requires a ridiculous amount, 99 in two categories and like 75 in the third. So keep trying, it takes a while.
>I want to do something you’d see on an American cable drama like ABC. Violet (not a typo) and erotic and heavy
ABC? Like, the Disney-owned channel with rated-PG dramas and shows that feature maybe a tiny bit of cleavage if it's airing late at night? That's really funny that Takahashi considers those types of shows.
I find it really funny that Takahashi's idea of what "violet and erotic and heavy" in American dramas goes might be fucking Grey's Anatomy
>Still mad he didn't get the one he wanted in the gacha
>then proceeds to fuck up the gacha for everyone with his cleansing procedure
Fuck you Amalthus
>tfw we got a game of Jin, but it's a prequel
I want Xenoblade 3 to have Malos as the final party member. Maybe even make it a twist, with him hiding in a different form like how Mythra hid as Pyra.
He was too afraid that he would just create another Malos because of the hate in his heart. Malos even warned him as such. Mythra would have turned out just the same or even worse then Malos.
>fix Malos's bent CPU pins.
kek
Much appreciated user
You get medals. To max her out you need 99 of each I think. Be sure to keep them even, because new levels unlock new missions that get more medals.
The water seal is somewhere on the bottom half of Uraya's stomach map.
>relatively determined while talking to Azurda to full-on despair mode somehow.
Hmm, if only we knew what moment sapped him of his will to drive, almost as if he lost someone close to him who would drive him...what would this person be called?

So if Malos and Alvis had Monados due to being part of the computer system Klaus used to create the new universes why didn’t Pneuma have one?
>when you get a certain amount of badges
?
>not using her two haremmates as cupholders
Look in your key items, you will have badges that you get from the idol missions.
For a JRPG, it is.
Thank you both... I guess I wouldn't see much of Ursula for a while then. Oh well, I have other blades to take care while she plays to be an idol.
so just repeat the merc missions to farm the badges?
There was a fake leak about an XBX port where the Black Knight at the end is revealed to be Malos, reincarnated by the Conduit to protect it from the Ganglion and Ghosts
T. Brainlet
Only retarded niggers like torna gameplay better, go play more mobile games incel.
They all shared abilities two-ways.
Malos and Alvis had Monados, but Malos did not have Foresight while Alvis and Pneuma did.
If you asked this like a year ago, I would have been able to do a full breakdown of what they do and do not share.
She did, retard.
You do realize when the post-credits scene in Torna takes place, right?
Her sword is pretty much a Monado, she just doesn't use Monado arts so there's no reason for anyone to be screaming the word all the time.
don't be mean
She did, it looks pretty similar to the True Monado in XC1.
She did.
She doens't use monado arts, but her sword design also has that circular part near the handle like Alvis and Malos
Kanji are optional.
Monado = computer hooked into the Conduit.
Wait, no I don't.
I thought it takes place before Lora gets offed
Icoo is still too shy to draw lewd...for now.
Yes and when you hit certain levels in all of the categories, you get new missions, which give more in one go. So it gets easier to farm them up. Still takes a while though, I think something like 4 hours if you do it at it's most efficient?
Look at Jin's core crystal in the ending, user.
Blades exist to be cupholders first, onaholes second, fighters third!
Jin's sword is already red bro
He should show up in XBX2
But Pneuma did though? It basically was broken in two, so Pyra's Blade...
meh, is it worth it because that is a decent chunk of time. Is she worth leveling up?
He should just show up more often from now on in general.
>begin game
>literal nothin personell scene
wew
...plus Mythra's Blade
I did Ursula's quest only to level the charts of other rare blades. it's the best way.
As a stand?
I can't see it as being anything more than at most a one-sided attraction on Malos's part in canon, but I like the pairing a lot.
>only to level the charts of other rare blades
?
gives you a full fledged Monado, with its circle and reality bending powers
She's one of the best healing blades in the game because of her switch in ability. 20% heal just for coming into the battle and you can lower her cooldown to like 1s. So switch in, out, in, out, in and almost nothing can kill you.
Oh shit. I guess I didn't remember it that well.
Don't know how I feel about that. In my head, Jin just kind of becomes destitute after losing Lora.
I imagine just being alone without a home would drive him to become the way he is though, just enough time passes without a purpose or even a friend
>he becomes the Conduit's herald and the Gilgamesh of the Xenoblade franchise
I'd be down for it
The game's a treat.
It's barely even like XBC1 and XBCX. It has much more anime humor, whereas those games took themselves too seriously at times.
Ursula's missions at max optional blades takes 1 minute to complete and every completed merc mission gives a set amount of trust and also completes random nodes on their affinity chart.
XC2's swords were pure sex
I agree, but I still like their closeness and co-dependence
To level the blade to S rank you need to fill affinity charts and trust. You go for love sources for trust and send your blades to Ursula's missions for filling up the charts. Most of the blades can be done this way.
From what I remember you can't do Zenobia and some others this way.
What are the odds we get the new MonoSoft IP next year?
The bulk of the team was finished with BotW in early 2017, and while Takahashi was clearly busy leading the post-launch crew through 2018 with XC2's season pass I can't imagine he left the majority of his staff idle instead of getting them onto pre-production (plus probably doing support work on other Nintendo projects again) for their next major title.
I feel XC2's success, the expansion of the company the past three-ish years, and the amount of staff they've had since 2017 with no known project makes it possible.
Pneuma was Lyndis all along.
Well either XCX2 or XC3, so yeah. I would like a remaster of XC eventually.
Either this September Direct or the January Direct. Otherwise, it's 2021.
I figure he tried getting revenge/directly attacking the Praetorium at first, but didn't get anywhere for whatever reason and that drove him into the state he's in when he meets up with Malos again.
>Sex in the dark with your blade
I swear, they didn't mean to create this fetish, but they did.
Announcement probably. The game? I don't think so but I would like that very much.
Hopefully we get something at TGS
Nani?!
ah so if I send them with her, they will quickly level skills. Haven't thought about it that way, thanks. Just hard to get blades since all I get are common.
Possible
It will have been at least 2 years, and given that Nintendo seems to like announcing games within a year of when they think it will "come out", I can definitely see them announcing the new Monolith Soft project, especially since they probably have enough staff to both help with BOTW2 and make their own stuff
>Lynsmind
Strong theory suggests that the new Monolith game is just them working fulltime on the new Zelda.
But after the recent upsurge in XBC2 sales in Japan, they'll probably be allowed to do whatever Xeno project they want after that's finished.
Direct sequel to both XC1 and 2 at the same time, the lines have merged and the new world at the end of both games is the same one
I didn't know beforehand I had an etherlines fetish, but now I just do
Don't worry about that, I leveled them to S rank on like NG+2 or 3.
You get all the needed blades from story anyway.
Speaking of Lyndis, I still find funny how IS was shocked and confused when the first poll of Heroes put Lyn in first place in popularity.
Xeno or anything else I guess, got to see if that "fantasy IP" is not Zelda related.
Post yfw Shulk and Rex meet canonically.
They do have a lot more of teams that we actually acknowledge though, there is even a good chance that one of them is working on Animal Crossing right now... just to then start working on Splatoon 3 once thats done.
They hiring for Zelda right now, so I don't think the team that usually takes care of the Xenoblade games is working fulltime with the team that works in support for Zelda... unless they are indeed the main team instead of just support, in which case they would most likely make it their full project right now.
No idea what their new office will work on in the meantime.
Mythra eats far too much, Aegises consumes too much energy, they're an ecological disaster
This weirds me out, because it's not just across space but also time.
Fiora is from after the end of XBC1, but you hear the ending of that game happen in the end of 2.
Fucking Nopons, man, how do they work
Just, don't think to much about it... as far as we know in regards how this multiverse works, this could be another Shulk all together, with a backstory similar to OG Shulk.
The arch-nopon sage works in mysterious ways
Pyra is fat.
It was a Nopon's fanfiction basically.
If Alrest has enough resource to sustain Boreas, they can handle the Aegis just fine.
I will only accept this if it's a Chrono Cross situation. Alvis saw the world that Klaus created and thought it would be easier to create it the same. This has made a problem though, the worlds being the same causes rifts and peoples sometimes fall through and become lost. Basically the same rifts we see with the Arena DLC.
As the game goes on, the rifts become bigger and bigger and cause more problems. The goal is to get the worlds to completely merge without destroying the other.
Nah, the nopon archmage just took them from xbc1 future, from their point of view xbc2 is thier "past".

God dam this game is huge.
I'm barely at the part where I got the inquisitor and I don't have enough blades for her, 20 common cores and 5 rare ones and I did not get a single blade for her. Thanks for the info though, btw, what is the best party formation? Seems like I can build poppi into anything so not even sure where i go with that and what sort of builds characters can have.
Actually, I am gay, gay for Wulfric!
It might depend on the battle, at times Mòrag is neccesary but at times you can prescind of her.
Best at end depends on which fight you are doing. Sometimes you'll be able to just having a tank and two DPS and crit heal your way to victory. Other times you can have standard formation and things will go well.
Things change a lot if you play on Bringer of Chaos difficulty, as enemies will have Awakening when they get an orb put on them, which increases their everything.
It honestly depends, I can give you a right answer cause I am figuring that out myself, while also working the affinity of all my blades, but the point where you are right now has nothing to do to what you would be by chapter 8... not to mention you still haven't even started with Poppi properly yet.
I just like playing Rex/Nia/Tora with Rex using Mythra, Poppi QT Pi as Dark DPS and Nia with Fiora, but Nia is kinda garbage.
But that doesn't really matter.
Haven't had any problems with the difficulty.
Currently im running a tank/dps/heal and sideline poppi since the voice actor of her driver annoys the living fuck out of me and the inquisitor seems like she is a tank. I think I read she is a dodge tank, not sure how im suppose to work with that. I barely finish the factory, so I got poppis second form, not sure if she is a dps form or still a tank.
There is a lot of shit im missing from this game, feels like eye.
And at the end, shulk, rex and friends aee chilling in shulk's new lab, talking about going to space (which was what Shulk wished at the end of his game; a world without gods where you can expand to space), suddenly KOS-MOS RE and T-ELOS RE start to act weird, shulk turn on the comp which is connected to a satellite they just launched, pic related appears...
Her final form is on ATK by default, but even that can be changed for all the Poppis.
As long as you are willing to grind on Tiger Tiger, of course.
>I think I read she is a dodge tank, not sure how im suppose to work with that.
The joke is to get enemies to focus on her and they fail to hit her.
>grind on Tiger Tiger
This game feels too much like a korean mmo sometimes.
yea but im not sure how to build her, what are her stats to focus, what sort of items to focus on, what blades should I look for her?
Find the first blade you rolled (The wind knuckle that gramps gives you in Torigoth)
And post their affinity chart.
>As long as you are willing to grind on Tiger Tiger, of course.
At least NG+ gives you the option of just grinding bonus exp and converting it to ether crystals instead of bothering with that crap.
>Nia is kinda garbage
How so, she seems like a good healer and so far rex can't heal everyone.
... WHY I AM FINDING ABOUT THIS NOW?!
I very much know from memory the first level of that shit by now!
Yeah, I wouldn't really bother on improving Poppi until NG+.
You don't really need her when you get the full party.
so who heals? and who replaces her?
Where are you on the game right now? Later on, she will turn on THE BEST Healer, but explaining how may be a huge Spoiler.
Basically every tank blade since Corvin can’t use them. Though Brighid and Corvin if you have the DLC are the only two really worth building around. Shulk is also great with her because of her having the best hammer animations which he reuses.
>Implying Alrest HAS enough ressources to sustain Boreas
If Rex and the gang hadn't found Real Elysium™, all of Alrest would have been Genbu-tier starving wastelands in two years unless someone was successful in assassinating Boreas' driver.
I’m curious if posters like this will shoot themselves when it reaches 2 million still at launch msrp? Cause it’s still selling and will reach 2 million probably by the end of the year.
>they left the junk blades' names in japanese
>but changed the others
So much for foreshadowing.
Challenge mode is better. You can buy Poppi parts for cheap than convert them into ether.
I finished it a fuckton of times.
It's replaced by the accents. The only part it screws up is Fan, but the original already had its mistakes (Satahiko) so that's not the end of the world.
I wish she stayed in that form permanently after chapter 7.
Stopped playing Xeno1 little bit after I got the sniper chick because combat became annoying. Reyn wouldn't take aggro off of sniper girl so I played as her to better manage it. But then AI Shulk would never buff us to actually do damage to the robots.
Even me taking aggro from her and kitting them to Reyn didn't work so I gave up annoyed at the combat. Was i missing something?
>so far rex can't heal everyone.
Rex's anchor shot for two potions is like the best healing method. Just get the upgrade that heals everyone when he uses a potion.
>It's replaced by the accents. The only part it screws up is Fan
Objectively false, because Nia has a welsh accent even before she was told to act as her "sister", and it's also meant to be the foreshadowing for blades becoming titans. What do you think "Genbu" means? But they changed the other titan names.
I can "get it" with most of them, but what was the point of calling the most Japanese looking MTF in the world... "Perceval"? The localization team really though Basara would be to much for us to handle?
Pyra is fat indeed.
There's also the thing with Poppi's japanese name her different modes are references to highschool years or something.
The AI sucks with both Shulk and Melia.
Aggro up and aggro down gems.
>Rex's anchor shot for two potions is like the best healing method
The problem is that I have to stop focusing on the boss to walk around and get the potions. Is there a way to get the npcs to do that shit, like the tank?Nia pretty much focuses on picking up pots so im wondering if there is a way to dictate that behavior on other npcs.
The perfect amount of fat. Not too much, just what it needs where it needs for mankind's dream to come true.
Yeah, I don't remember the exact names, but they are a references to different levels of education.
Someone once made the joked about all the effort the Localization team went through to "hide" how much of a pervers Tora and his family were, just to then change Poppi's names to cutsey puns.
Aside from aggro up and down gems, you'll want to take arts off of their palette that you don't need them using. This should reduce the aggro that Sharla generates.
Were you levelling up Reyn's aggro-drawing and AoE arts? Also pretty sure you can give Sharla aggro-down gems and Reyn aggro-up gems but been a while since I played it. If Shulk has aggro use Shadow Eye
I never give it much of a thought, but usually being on the opposite side of the party means the potion then to fall right above of besides them, and they usually catch them rather quickly just by moving most of the time.
>The problem is that I have to stop focusing on the boss to walk around and get the potions.
You should have a tank drawing aggro, so it isn't too much of a problem.
NPCs will pick up potions if they are near them and they feel that they need to grab them, which is at certain health percents. The best thing to do is try to get potions during points where you can't attack. Also, if you have max affinity, you move much faster, which makes getting to those potions easier. The best potion machine is actually Kora, as she makes them heal for more and they last longer.
>The best thing to do is try to get potions during points where you can't attack.
>not having unlimited potion works
Anchor shot recharges the fastest out of Rex's moves. If you just cancel Pyra's attacks after the first swing, you get an anchor shot in legitimately 3 seconds or less if you upgrade anchor shot further. You should always have an achor shot ready in case the enemy gets Break.
Yes, I'm more talking about when you perform a special. That is the perfect time to run around and pick up potions.
>Objectively false, because Nia has a welsh accent even before she was told to act as her "sister"
Nia was pretending to be one of the Lord's daughters before her "sis" died,. Her name in the Japanese version is also supposed to be 'Niyah' - it's a play on Nya, but it's meant to be somewhat westernized like the other 'human' names.
And the Titan name thing doesn't exactly work when the vast majority of them are Latin. It's just Seiryu and Genbu that aren't like that, unless I'm forgetting another one.
Maybe.
>You should always have an achor shot ready in case the enemy gets Break
Which is also imporant concerning Driver Combos.
They mostly changed the kingdom names, we almost never get to hear Titan names aside from Seiryu and Genbu.
>aggro gems
didn't know these were a thing, Didn't pay any attention to gems at all.
Yeah Reyn aggro and AOE skills were level prioritized. Ill give the game another go and hunt for gems.
>Nia was pretending to be one of the Lord's daughters before her "sis" died
I replayed that part of the game yesterday. She wasn't supposed to be his "daughter" until after his real daughter died. But she was already speaking with a welsh accent before he told her to. So no, you're wrong.
Nah, there is other hidden dialogue that shows that they were playing as "twins" for a bit. You really have to go out of your way to find it though. I think it's the Mayor that says it? Either way, it's suppose to show that Nia spent quite a while with them and really was treated well. She wasn't locked in a room with the daughter, she was known by the towns folk.
Try talking to more NPCs. The people of the town they lived in knew Nia as one of the Lord's two daughters. (This is also why that one guy you talk to while collecting information in chapter 2 recognizes her name and references Echell).
She might've not called the dude dad until he asked her to after her "sis" died, but she was being treated like part of the family, at least for appearances. Hence her anecdote about getting lessons on proper manners and all that.
Are they ever gonna make a complete edition?
Of what XC2? Maybe one day. In general it would seem Nintendo isn't too keen on doing that unless it's for a release on a different platform.
I still can't believe she was on the run for nearly ten years. Given they say her age is 14, she spent a good 4 years living with them. Hurts so bad to think that she must have been so happy back then, could never even fathom that all of it would be taken away from her.
Dunno, but speaking of which, what additions the UE should have? I was thinking in an update dub, extra scenes, new blades and making shulk and fiora "canon".
That one shows up right after you get Blade Nia, if you talk to NPCs with new dialogue regularly it's not that hard to find.
This one is a little trickier, since you need Nim, but I appreciate that they hide little tidbits about her family around the game like this.
I don't think they ever say her age is 14. At least, I don't remember that.
Rex thinks they look around the same age and I think Takahashi said they wanted her to look like she was 14. Or he might have straight confirmed that she was 14 years since her activation. Either way, it's around there.
>I would have proposed to her
I wonder if it was Nia or the daughter. Considering he says "Elegant Young Lady", probably the daughter. I don't think Nia would have ever been able to present herself like that, even if she wanted to. Which is funny considering her Blade for is everything elegant.
Updated dub and more story scenes would be the best. More Blades available through side quests would also be neat.
LET ME USE MALOS YOU FAGGOTS
FUCK I'M STILL MAD
>tfw we get xenoblade 2 Spanish dub
>tfw looking over scenes from Torna
>many of the actors genuinely perform better after having gotten the first game under their belt
If only we could tell Rex's actor how to yell in cutscenes.
Well, she was educated to be a fair lady, and as you say her bad form is really lady like and even more cat like... and even fox like, for me on her heard at least, honestly. So maybe?
...
>I hope he partners up with Kaneko and they make a Not Symphogear game.
No. You're on the right track, but imagine this. Takahashi partners up with Kaneko and they make a new Wild Arms game with Monolith Soft-tier ambition/quality.
Takahashi writing with Kaneko writing would be hilarious.
I honestly would love to see a behind the scene of that récording with the director and everything. The guy does a decent work most of the time, but can't yell for shitlife.
His loud scenes get much more natural towards the end. You can tell it was done in sequence.
I suppose getting all the DLC on the package even Torna.
>making shulk and fiora "canon"
Now that's a bit more complicated because that already messes up a little with the plot of both games, but the way it's now one's meant to assume it isn't canon.
because she's OP as fuck and would end battles even faster than they already end
You know this could just works
Please no.
I feel the biggest problem with the dub was that the actors weren't show the scene in japanese.
If he had the context of the physical motions his characters was doing and what the japanese VA sounded like, he would probably nail it.
That said, I can't really turn the dub off because, like the Infinite Stratos dub, the accents add too much and I can't watch without them.
She's perfect
...
The voice directing is just a complete mess with regards to Rex and honestly a lot of other characters. The final confrontation with Amalthus was butchered so bad because none of the party sound like they are in the decisive battle to save Torna and get to the Architect. It’s very clear they either didn’t give a shit or had no context when reading the lines. The difference in tone when Rex tells Jin he’ll be the one to take down Amalthus is just massive between japanese and english. The audio mixing is also fucked because some characters sound way louder than other.
how the fuck do you even manage to angle the camera that perfectly
whenever I try taking screenshots it's a fucking mess and always ends up clipping into the characters way before I get that close
Who did it better?
That's what Special Attacks are for, that's when your character is free to run at high speed when the Blade is performing its attack for you
I want to bury my face between Homura's boobs
I watched the Amalthus death scene yesterday for the second time and I don't think too much was wrong with it. There was one moment where some sentence had the wrong emphasis on the words they should have, but I felt it was fine otherwise.
But yeah, the audio mixing is fucked sometimes. I have to play with subtitles because the voices get drowned out by music all the time. Morag showing up in the factory and joining the party, and Jin explaining to Haze in Temperantia are two moments that come to mind.
...
Can't we have both? Wild Arms, but integrate the power dynamic of Symphogear? Only reason I didn't say Wild Arms is because I don't know who currently owns the property and if they would say yes to one. That property kind of never took off.
>It’s very clear they either didn’t give a shit or had no context when reading the lines.
as far as I know one of the dub VAs confirmed a while back that most (or all? can't remember) of the scenes were recorded with little to no context, just reading lines from a script
I didn't have many problems with the dub version of the scene you're talking about, but you're right about overall direction in the dub being utterly fucked. Rex is just the character who makes it the most apparent, but it affects absolutely everyone, even the VAs who gave the best performances
That's not about hiding anything, you just can't translate Hana JS, JK and JD in english. At least your localization team did put some effort with QT and QTPi. I had to settle with boring Poppi Alpha, Beta and Gamma
Doesn't it belong to Sony though?
Absolute cancer of an affinity chart.
Shulk. Rex never got his yelling voice right.
Actually Skye said that they were allowed to watch the scene, but with no audio and only once or something. So they had to do the takes from memory on how they should sound at a given instance.
Shulk all the way, you can actually feel emotion in his voice acting. Rex has none of it.
The voice acting and localisation itself is actually well above par. XB1 and XB2 have that Manga Entertainment quality of being tongue-in-cheek and self aware but not patronising. Almost all of the issues come from the direction and editing. The raw English voice track is just slapped onto the cutscenes like it's Speed Racer or some shit.
>XB1 subtitles just write out the name normally
>XB2 subtitles don't
this bothers me immensely
anyways if we're just judging that part of the scene I prefer XB1, but if it's the entire sequence I liked XB2 more (even despite how ridiculous Jin's lightspeed shit was)
Jin killing Amalthus onwards was decent and managed to give me the chills, it’s mostly the stuff before that felt off for me, particularly Rex, Mythra, Nia and Pandy. I did play in japanese first though so perhaps I have a bias.
...
>EL MALOS
>LA HERMANA VERDE
>JIĂ‘
Latin spanish dubs are good, is generally agreed that latin spanish BoTW Zelda is the best one after the japanese one.
It takes time and dedication
If subtitles are supposed to convey the dialogue through text the second one does a better job.
>El Malos
That sounds unironically cool.
I'll say, both of those scenes were easily among the best of their respective games.
Haven't been following, is XBX emulation playable?
>that drop of sweat
Specially if you are actually from Latin América and get to have Morgan Freeman as the Great Deku Three.
All my respects to the actual voice actor, but I can't picture it any other way.
This. That one little detail that betrays that she's a little nervous too makes the artwork all the more wholesome. Such a small little thing, yet so precious.
weren't there a bunch of these?
Dunno, but post more Crossette.
>XB1 and XB2 have that Manga Entertainment quality of being tongue-in-cheek and self aware but not patronising.
That's what I like about the Konosuba dub. The actors have fun with it. Especially Zeke, Tora, and Morag.
>InuYasha/Kiba is Revali
the most likely candidate is xenoblade 3. The next xenoblade has been alluded to taking a "third path" unlike 1/2 or X. An X2 would mean more of Mira with neo tokyo/new paris. Xenoblade 3 will either be a prequel set in Klaus's time or wherever the conduit fucked off to
Same.
Just wish there was more new fanart. Fujos are more interested in drawing Amalthus and Malos, apparently.
Maybe a prequel to XC where they explain what happened with Ontos/Alvis and Zanza's beginnings.
...
Howden. He's shonen protagonist: the human.
Not more fucking prequels!
Right, well I guess they could save that for a future XC remaster or sum shit.
...
>90% of the time the information isn't even useful.
shulk's future sight is literally the most useful shit in the game what are you talking about? not only does it stun the enemy if it activates but it usually only activates if something's going to absolutely fuck you over. the only time it doesn't work is against multiple enemies.
Xenoblade 3, Xenoblade X2 or New IP?
Howden and Ritson were fucking top tier.
>why can't I just use cloud's limit break every fight?
I want Xenoblade 3, personally.
I don't feel X can be salvaged, and they don't have time for a new IP with BotW2. Xenowarriors, at most.
All of the mentioned
yes
What did he mean by this?
That doesn't make for a good Xenoblade though. A good Xeno, for sure, but it would certainly lacks in big fantasy areas to explore and otherwordly monsters to battle. What will we explore, boring Earth near-scifi facility's corridors and fight soldiers #54523? Not that I'd forget them, but still.
...
They could have still kept the Conduit hax powers limited. I just like her design way more than Pyra and Mythra.
No, I mean after that, the game would begin with Ontos going away alongside the missing half of Klaus(Zanza).
Best boy.
Is the schizo desperate last attack after failing to derail the thread.
there are 3 huge beanstalks to explore if it's a prequel
>Bump Limit.
He loses, once again.
>What will we explore, boring Earth near-scifi facility's corridors and fight soldiers #54523?
Artificial environments like Elysium. Just make it the relatively normal starting city and make the other areas weirder.
It does make reporting him for spamming trivial,
Yes but it doesn't adress the issue with them being boring scifi corridors full of boring soldiers (and maybe some cool 3 variations of mechs). This is Xenosaga, and I'd absolutely like it, but it certainly isn't what people will expect of a numbered Xenoblade. Might be Takahashi's third path, for sure, but I can already hear all the complains
The fact you posted this means I've already won.
Look at you, pretending to be a fan of a game you won't even play. Disgusting.
It's that time
>boring scifi corridors
I think you're underestimating how big the beanstalks are, elysium had no end in sight
Yeah, Elysium alone was big enough to fit all of Alrest's population. Pretty damn big.
This would be cool. You could even go full space opera and have massive colonies/ships with different environments on them.
Dude, you are very late this time, what happened?
Yo I'm straight but DAMN that's hot.
Needs grampypon with Poppi Buster.
The beanstalk only refers to the Space Elevators. The Orbital Ring is the Elysium.
The characters heal themselves after a certain point.
I was occupied with something
High Nia Archer.
Lila is underrated
So the nopon halfsage from torna is the nopon archsage from the dlc right? Or are they two different nopon quasi-deities?
Expelled from Paradise is exactly the flavor of scifi I love. 9/10 movie, would be 9.5/10 if it had a killer soundtrack.
>Nia has more breast then a 2000 year old elf
Sad for HEA, but I think Nia pulls this look off well. More shorts and tops for Nia.
same
>yfw all Nopons are a collective entity deity
I could see Takahashi pulling that off
What are they doing to her?
I guess there's always that.
NOOOOOO THE CABAL CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Xain
I cannot fucking BELIEVE these fuckers keep talking about video games on Yea Forums
Pyra had fun with Rex, Mythra and Nia are mad so now they will have fun with Rex and Pyra won't.
Teasing her sexually. I wish I knew which doujin this came from. Also, why hasn't the Pyra, Nia and Rex doujin been translated into english yet? It's got chinese and I think russian.
Pyra > Mythra
That's pretty badass, I hope it'll get finalized
Nia of the terror.
Pneuma>both
user, that doujin is on sadpanda already, just search "xenoblade pyra".
>This art dump
Based.
Niffie
I love those classic UFO looking fuckers. We need more art of these glorious mech designs.
It's believe it's from the Torna followup to the Malosblade doujin that one guy made a while back. Almost certainly won't be scanned (just like the first one), but still neat.
More like Hips of terror. This girl is going to break the first person she mates with, then she'll heal them and do it again.
Because translators suck ass.
Cute feet
>It's believe
*I believe
Fiora > XC2 girls
>want to fap to Homura with all my might
>autism doesn't let me because I'm too fond to her
no
the xenoblade 2 girls are overrated but fiora is terrible
Not homs Fiora thats for sure
I'm playing XC1 for the first time and I just got to Gaur plains for the first time, she gets reved right?
>More like Hips of terror. This girl is going to break the first person she mates with, then she'll heal them and do it again.
The greatest possible fetish
No, she didn't really die.
I actually never fap to the girls I like. I can only fap to original H mangos, doujins almost never
The foreshadowing is as subtle as a hammer on the head
You must really hate XC2 girls then
It's kind of funny how many of the plot twists you see coming, but then the real shit that wasn't forshadowed hits even harder.
