Let's have a Xeno thread

>what's your favourite Xeno game?
I wanna say say Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but I have a bias because of Nia.

>what Xeno game will we get next?
XCX2, Monolith’s New IP, or Xenosaga Re-Mastered. Gears never because Square has no interest in games not called FFVII.

>what are you hoping for?
Robots, titties, land to explore, rhythmic combat

The one thing I really want to see out of the next Xeno game is more involved enemy actions in combat. The battle systems are always really fun from the offensive angle with ability combos and directional attacks, but enemies might as well be giant punching bags you're trying to hit a dps threshold on. Give them some AOE attacks you need to dodge or unique mechanics the player has to pay attention to in addition to keeping their own stuff up

if they're going to incorporate MMO elements into the game, they should apply more MMO style boss mechanics.

The recruitment pages on their website are /production01/ for the Takahashi project (and the message on the page mentions that it's for "Division 1 production"), /production02/ for the Zelda team, and /special/ for the fantasy project.
I liked how they experimented in XB2 with adding points in enemy attacks where they inflict a part of the driver combo on themselves (like those Aspars that have the big AOE spin that inflicts launch, so if you time your smash perfectly, you can cancel the attack), but they needed to do a lot more with it.

>Gears never because Square has no interest in games not called FFVII.

Xenogears did recently have a crossover event in FF Record Keeper and was the ultimate boss in WoFF

>what's your favourite Xeno game?
Xenogears, one of my all time favorite vidya
>what are you hoping for?
For Xenoblade Chronicles X to emulate well. I've been wanting to play it, but I'm not buying a Wii U just for this one game.

God this game was terrible, even the parts where they were clearly trying was tedious and snooze worthy

budget

cherry picking
please don't make this thread into some shitty wars

Xeno games are BLASPHEMOUS and the people who like these games hate God.

He was already OP, why the fuck did they give him a stat stick?

I'm pretty okay with God actually

The EIC initially thought it was one of those hater hardcore gamers who like to troll and try and cause trouble. I convinced him to let me play Xenogears on the Playstation, and write a review on it. I also did some research on the franchise, and what the worldly gaming media said about the game. There are two camps on Xenogears. Those that rebel against God love Xenogears. Those that honor God are offended by this retro video game. Xenogears supports Gnosticism. What is that? It is heresy and proven falsehoods that was left out of the Torah and Holy Bible. Xenogears promotes lies. People who have no problem with lies, and lying also are huge supporters of Xenogears. Family Friendly Gaming stands up for truth. So FFG and Xenogears are on polar opposites of this issue. Hence Xenogears receives an abysmal failing score. Xenogears contains bad language, enticement to lust, violence, sexual innuendo, blood, death, gore, suicide, and more. One of the most dangerous things in Xenogears is the attacks on Christians. Xenogears could easily be identified as hate speech against Christians. Just like its sort of prequel Xenosaga. The religious content in Xenogears is deep, and it gives a one way trip to be mean, hateful, and nasty to Christians. The turn based battles in Xenogears revolve around using certain buttons to attack (each button takes away so many attack points for that turn), and a time bar that charges. The quicker your time bar the more often you can attack. Certain special attacks are available when certain button presses are used. For example triangle and then 'X' produce a powerful attack from the main character.

There are anime like cut scenes that remind me of Star Blazers in Xenogears. The game can offer vague directions, and the rotational camera can easily turn players around thanks to the poor level design. The fights in Xenogears get boring really fast. It felt like an attempt to be part Street Fighter, and part RPG.

The lag in Xenogears is highly noticeable and disturbing. Numerous characters in Xenogears hate God, and want to attack him. You know Xenogears is probably the favorite game of many atheists. Players go into bars and taverns and run into drunk characters. Players also are required to steal in various plot points of Xenogears. The price of Xenogears on the market today is insanely high. Family Friendly Gaming had purchased one many years ago, so we had it already.

Do not buy Xenogears on the original Playstation, or any digital download of this poor excuse for a video game. The venomous hatred this game teaches has made the video game industry worse. It is sickening that a game that promotes hatred of God and Christians is considered a great game by the worldly rebellious gaming sites. At the same time games that teach a good lesson about God's love are attacked and bemoaned. The backwards nature of the video game industry shines brightly thanks to Xenogears. - RPG Master

>I am very thankful that Family Friendly Gaming rented a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U. This open world action adventure role playing video game looks great for a Wii game. Oh wait this is on the Wii U. Okay so it looks decent on the Wii U.

>It is heresy and proven falsehoods that was left out of the Torah and Holy Bible.
>Implying that it was once part of the holy bible
Why was it removed then? Is it perhaps because IT'S TRUE?

I think the best thing they could do with the combat is increase the focus on positioning during combat, because that's one of the major things these games have that others don't. Give enemies more attacks that can be avoided by actually moving out of the way of them, give characters more options for quickly and smoothly moving around the battlefield, that sort of thing.

Suppose I've never played a Xeno game before. Tell me Xenofriends, what Xeno game should I play first?

Xenoblade and watch the "movies" of the others in youtube

Start with Gears and go from there, don't be a pussy like this guy

I've only played Gears and blade 1. Gears is okay at times, but the gameplay was boring. Blade 1 was just uninteresting in all aspects. Worth trying any of the others?

Depends, what did you like about Gears?

To not have any connections to the past games at all and be it's own thing.

Even more cringe than the dance

Why do people keep drawing XC2 characters with other JPRG character's clothes? Sometimes it's not even JRPG characters.

I'd say it's true to her Xenosaga hair color

the question I want answered is why the same phonefaggot keeps spamming shitty crossover art in xeno threads

Is... this your first time hearing about crossover arts, or what? It's simple, when artists likes two games/series/whatever fondly, they tend to do crossover arts.

Yeah, but there's a whole bunch of brony tier artwork where they shove XC2 into literally everything, it's weird.

I am so confused, dunno what to feel. But I remembered one thing, I am still MAD about all the BD's fairies being evil bitches, I want a nice fairy!

Xfag is the only one that insults crossover art.

You know that isn't true.

it's an artist on twitter who takes requests, and one fucking orbiter who insists on shilling her crappy art here

Everytime his posts get nuked, any post insulting crossover art gets deleted too. It happened 3 times.

Well, I was one that asked what was up with the art, and this guy is one else, so there's two people in this thread questioning it.
I didn't even insult it, either. Just wondering why.

Yeah, right, you were caught samefagging yesterday...again.

I've only played Xenoblade Chronicles, enjoyed it a lot. Will probably play X soon.

I played like 10 hours on Xenosaga 1, but honestly that game is a slog to play.
>dungeons are just long corridors with boring enemy encounters
>It's not a dealbreaker, but turn-based combat is not fun
The only good things were the story and world, which were pretty cool.

Should I play xenoblade 1 on crt or modern TV

I recently played through all the Xenosaga games. 2 is basically trash but I really liked 1 and 3. 1's biggest flaw is the absolutely snail-like pacing and everything taking forever, but god DAMN does it have some fun bosses. I guess I never grinded but some of them were straight nail biters.

3 is also very good but it feels like they streamlines it to be somewhere between 1 and 2 and the combat feels nice but generic. I never had any problems with anything in the game, and Shion is also sort of just a bitch for 95% of it. Still probably the most consistent overall.

modern TV
text is tiny as fuck, would be a pain in the ass in a crt

if you think someone's a shitposter, don't fucking reply to them, retard
modern TV. I played it on a CRT and it was absolutely miserable, the text was stupidly tiny.

That guy really isn't me.

There's no way to play Xenoblade 1 without some sort of fuckery. Even emulated the UI is garbage

What's wrong with the emulated UI? I had to switch to emulation for the last third or so of the game and I don't remember it being terrible.

I guess Nia would be Edea? Hang on, that is perfect.

I want Takahashi's new game to be shown in the next Direct.

I seriously doubt it'll be shown before next E3 at the earliest.

Do we know exactly when work started on it?

her pit smells nice

October of last year at the very latest.
Development (or at least planning) for XB2 started before X was even released, so it's possible that they've been working on it for a while now, but at the same time there's also Torna's (and the rest of the DLC) development time to consider. Who knows how that affected things.

fpbp

I'm expecting January/February direct, actually. But I'm not expecting a Takahashi game, just a Monolith Soft game. Next Xenoblade is either for late 2021, or for the next Nintendo console launch window like XC2 was

because GAMERS

the late winter/early spring 2020 direct is the earliest it could be seen as a teaser, then a full trailer at E3

Takahashi said (a while ago when their offices were more central and considerably smaller) that they broke up teams very differently than other studio and most teams consisted of several floating members who would move between teams particularly before and after new projects. He basically said their reason was to keep employees motivated and on top of their programming game instead of simply working on the same thing over and over again. He also said it helps to keep ideas fresh.
