Is this better than XC2?

Yes, its arguably the best rpg of the last gen.

Wow I don't think anyone predicted this over an X port

YES!

To me Xenoblade 1 is like a 9/10 game for while Xenoblade 2 is a 6 or 7/10

NOW ITS SHULK TIME

Yes

NINTENDO WON

why are they porting Xenoblade 1 and not X?
Xenoblade 1 is very dated and hard to go back to after you've played 2 and X

Reminder this is a remake and not a direct port

Also I teared up hearing that theme fuck

BORN IN A WORLD OF STRIFE

X port will probably be the year after.

Of course

They'll censor it

Depends, there are a few tweaks they could make that could bump this game up from good to a must play JRPG. I've played all 3 of the nintendo Xenoblades and I think that all 3 have their own strengths. 1 has the best characters, X has the best world design, 2 has the best narrative and worldbuilding. Gameplay-wise they're all pretty distinct as well, I enjoyed playing 1 the most but postgame 2 was more fun.

The original was surpassed by XCX and XC2 but it's the most enjoyable compared to XCX and XC2

Xenoblade Definitive will surpass XC2.

>Beat Xenoblade 1 two months ago
Pleasant surprise, but the only reason I could even stomach 1 was because of Dolphin's fast forward feature. If there enough QoL improvements, I might pick it up.

Not gonna' lie, but that basic battle system is going to be hard to go back to after X and XBC2.

I imagine we'll get both eventually

can't wait to see melia suffering in new textures

What I'm wondering is, do they plan on making XC3 after this or something? It kind of feels like they'll end up remaking X as well at this point, and focusing on it later.
You do realize they have 4 studios, right?

Redoing a wii game with new assets and additional content is probably much easier technically than getting X to run well. And it's also older and needs moving to a more current system.

Xenoblade X but with better Tanaka models would be great.

Am I wrong in saying they prettied up the characters? Not as higher resolution textures, but I Swear they’ve change the structure of shulks face.

So that the switch can have two good xenoblade games on it instead of just one.

I bought 2 on a deal awhile ago and it got added to my backlog as I didn’t have a good time to start it, should I play 1 first then?

Shulk and Fiora are at their best in XC2
Also Xeno was always anime, deal with it

They're using the XC2 models, it seems.

No. It's boring as fuck. I also already finished it fuck ports and fuck nintendo.

Good thing Tanaka and Saito are different people then, isn't it.

I imagine they'll maybe put in a Rex / Malos cameo of what's going on in the other dimension at the end of the game as a little treat, but I wouldn't expect much change.

>ever caring about FFVII remake
>hating XB2
Absolute retard

The emulated wii version with a massive XP nerf memory hack is the best version, since you won't be ridiculously overleveled if you don't ignore sidequests and the game actually retains the challenge.

Yes, they force you complete those garbage side quests to pad it out.

I replayed Xenoblade 1 right after finishing 2 and it was night and day
2 is utter shit in comparison

Fuck yes it is.

theyre probbly gonna make it like xeno2

Every Xeno game is fucking anime.

Xenoblade 2 is tied with Xenosaga 3 for best looking Xeno artstyle. Xenoblade 2 just had shitty character designs.

>XC2 is great but the Torna expansion was awful.
lolwut? The expansion was better than the main game. Main game has a TERRIBLE story and I prefer combat in expansion as well. Only didn't like how you got orbs so easily, change that and it would be perfect.

>Update the models only
>Everything else looks like shit
No thanks.

>XC1 Remake with Bionis Shoulder, XC2+ graphics, likely enhanced story and added elements like the Zohar, hopefully revamped combat, and proper character designed
I can't believe something we memed about months ago happened

I'd assume they're going to adjust all XP to account for the new area. Hopefully they'll also apply their better level balance from later games.

Can't wait till they fuck up his character design with XB2 style.

That’s a shame. Quite liked how they looked in the original.

I suppose we could get the same deal with Rex/Pyra/Mythra as we got with Fiora/Shulk/Elma in XC2

Yeah. I think everyone can now stop pretending XB2 was any good

I hope they add cosmetic armor from xbcx

HAHAHAHAHA is not an argument.
Xeno series has nearly always had shitty artstyles.

Xenosaga 3 and Xenoblade 2 are the exceptions, but Xenoblade 2 is held back by awful character designs.

So it's a remake.
Will Melia AI not be garbage anymore?
Will they not overwrite the music when you get a vision?
Will Melia finally get an ending where she gets with Shulk?

It was sold as a part of a 29$ expansion pass where you get a lot of stuff for the main game too
It was great considering that, and it also have one of the best regular battle theme of all time

I cant wait for you cucks to be irrelevant now that the best xeno game is on the switch.

>XB1 but with not ugly characters
I'm pretty happy with it, I'm guessing they'll ditch the unique armor models though so that's kind of disappointing. The gear looked charmingly awful, especially at endgame.

NOW

I also thought 2 wasn't good. The only thing I liked about it was the combat but I dropped it not long before the end and got left with some heavy buyers remorse.

The gatcha garage and file skill shit alone ruins it.

Torna sucked. The main game is kino but Torna took too long to get going and once it did it was over.

It really needs an XP slider, or two game modes for main quest rush or full sidequesting.

>likely enhanced story and added elements like the Zohar, hopefully revamped combat, and proper character designed
None of the above

>bionis shoulder is in
YO HOLD THE FUCK UP

Xenoblade 2 is shit because the designs are problematic. They are NOT ok in current year, pedos.

No, XC2 is a good game but 1 was definitely stronger throughout and consistently.

MELIA WINS
MELIA WINS
MELIA WINS

What's really fun is how people are going to start defending the original's awful character models and designs just so they don't accidentally end up praising its 'too anime' successor.

what if Nia shows up in Xenoblade DE cause they're parallel universes?

Attached: 1520634816850.jpg (1280x720, 193K)

They're about even for me, but I prefer 2 a bit more overall if you're counting the DLC stuff. XB2's second half > XB1's first half >> XB1's second half >>>> XB2's first half.

>Will Melia finally get an ending where she gets with Shulk?
The teaser seems to be hinting at it heavily.

Fine I can agree with this. BUT it looks like they are using the garbage character design style in this version.

Man I’m fucking happy about this. My computer is too bad to emulate the original, disc copies are ridiculously rare and I don’t own a new 3DS. This is the one game that I really wanted a switch port of.

They're both great, but if you think XC2 discussion will end any time soon you're deluded

/thread

Most people didn't and it wasn't meant to look like that in the first place.

The reason Shulk and the rest of Xenoblade 1's cast look the way they do is because Xenoblade 1 doesn't have a character designer so the characters had to be made up by the inexperienced armor designers.

It's why Shulk looks extremely anime in Smash, Xenoblade 2, cameos in other games and the trailer for this remake.
He also looks much more anime in a lot of the official art.

Torna's shitty community garbage is a pale imitation of the affinity charts from the first two games. It shouldn't be praised.

I forgot about that. Surely they'll redo the ending plot stuff so it lines up better with 2's scenes. Space station will become space elevator etc.

Monolith it's Nintendo second biggest studio.

XCX and Torna bored me to fucking tears 90% of the time I was playing them because I don't want to go pick up tomatoes so I can get back to the fucking story. I would never go back to either game ever, while I have played through 1 three times and 2 twice.

Look, people. It's not about more or less anime. It's about which game was less subject to fan service and pandering.

It's pretty annoying how loud XB1fags get despite being the most ignorant. I'm glad they even have a character designer this time and that Tanaka is doing it.

To be fair, Shulk actually is extremely generic in personality and characterization in the Japanese version.
His English voice actor is so great and nuanced that just the range of emotions he has makes Shulk an infinitely better character in English than he is in Japanese.

IIRC Takahashi literally said he wrote Shulk to be generic because normalfags complained about Fei and Shion from the previous games, especially Shion.

They're going to redo the armor designs, right?

I wasn't such a big fan of Shulk's XB2 design but this doesn't look too bad. The colors feel off, though.

I bet they add in the combat arena thing from 2 where you can get Shulk and Fiora as blades, but in this you'll have a chance of letting Rex and Pyra join your party.

They better assign the arts to the face buttons because I can't go back to that fucking hotbar
There's a reason why not even MMOs do that

Xenogears HD when

Thats actually a good summary of the issue.
XB1 characters always looked like manga versions of characters. Designed with functionality and brevity due to not having a designated character designer.
Just like a mangaka who'd do it himself.

I dont mind the updated looks as some other people who cry "ANIME!!!" all day. I just prefer the style is all. I'm happy either way.

The very first time you exit the cave and enter the knee, was magical when I first experienced it. And ever since then, even when playing with HD texture packs on Dolphin, it was just magnificent.

I fear that it'll be ruined by edgy iighting or lens flares or something.
Not saying it will be ruined, I just hope it won't be.

Shulk's English dub was pretty great, everyone else was either just okay/above average or RIKI SHUT THE FUCK UP

How much would she cost?

Because GAMESTOP was the only play to buy XB1 and they artificially fucked with their supply and the Wii was dead in the water when it came out.

Meanwhile the switch is new and had no games really at the time.

That's probably about Shulk and Fiora's open happy ending.

People really really wanted to see more of them after the game and its why their 2 cameo was so huge. A new scenario where melia wins would be huge news they'd explicitly advertise.

Now Xenoblade 1 can fit in with the rest of the Xeno games aesthetically

I won't deny that XB1 had a fucked western release but that doesn't change the fact XB2 outsold it hard.

I'm not trying to shit on either game here I'm just saying the remake probably wouldn't happen without XB2 attracting a new audience to sell it to.

No nigger, HD Machina people
This remake means people might make more porn of Egil's sister (I forgot her name, all i remember is her crazy boob jiggle physics everytime she moved)

XC2 outsold XC1 in Japan too though.
If anything they're probably doing this remake because XC2 actually brought in a lot of new fans to the series.

>XB1 is demonstrably not the largest fanbase considering XB2 outsold it hard.
How many of those are actually fans though?

Not even meming but XB2 was the first new JPRG for the Switch. A lot of people new to the franchise played and bought it.
How many of those have actually become fans or played the previous blade games, or even the Xeno games, is another story.

I'd argue the immense popularity of the Switch had more to do with the game's success than the Xenoblade title.

I can see they've spent time improving Shulk's butt.

It's not anime because normalfags wouldn't be able to still like it then. It is anime and shonen as fuck though.

exactly this

I remember getting excited about a JRPG being available on the Wii, preordering it, picking it up, and having it gather dust on the shelf for years while I played the game for the first time on emulator last year. It's probably worthless at this point.

The DLC apparently seriously overperformed expectations so I would say a healthy amount were true fans of the game.

I imagine this remake is to try get them to buy into the wider series by putting it on the platform the new crowd have since buying a Wii U/New 3DS or hunting down a $100+ wii game are both shit options to normalfags to play the rest currently.

how does it feel to be a total faggot?

X was so technologically advanced they stated it basically pushed the Wii U to its absolute limit. Given the different architecture on the Switch, it would be very costly to do a port.
Or so I've read.

No, I mean it looks the same. You can even see that the main locks are in the same positions.

I hope they make post-Mechonis Core Alcamoth part of the main story, tie it in with the Tyrea sidequest, and move the Lorithia boss fight there. Doing that more cohesively could lead pretty well into a new Melia end.

WHERE'S MELIA ARGHHHHHHHH

It's older and connected to XC2 in the plot. Plus Shulk is more popular due to Smash so brings more money. Also Monolith said porting X would be a pain in the ass since you can't use the pad.

All this new stuff just in the first trailer. Pretty fucking good.

well always gave me a Vagrant Story vibe aesthetically, while a Xenogears vibe.
I actually think the OG designs for Xenoblade were much more interesting and they are partly debased their own legacy changing those, altough I also feel the game is strangy ''underrated'' for what it was. Sure a lot of guys have heard of it, but actually few of them have actually played it. Sometimes I wonder if it is just me that overrated the OG XB, but to me is one of the best games ever and a classic of gen 7.
I don't like these redesigns so, but I am open to the remake, firstly because it has been years and (while I can just dust off the original) the will to play it again grows, noticing that they added the shoulder sure push me to buy this version. I'll check more details when it comes out that's for sure, but for now I must say this is really a nice touch and despite the new designs this can get promising.

Personally i enjoy the game play. I agree that the story is shit, and that the design department should have made a double take over certain characters, but all over all i still enjoy it.
Except for the gacha shit.

They finally figured out how to get Tanaka just right in 3D.

Vanea, that's her. HD remake = more porn of her, maybe.
Inb4 they go overkill and pull a Dalhia on her and give her bigger tits

>It's already perfect.
I think the original was absolutely fine, but we can't judge the remake yet. All we've seen so far are updated character designs, and rumors about the story being changed, and people are having ulcers. Chill out.

>NOOOOO I ONLY LIKE SHITTY 90'S ANIME
Well that generic as fuck style is never coming back so might as well move on with your life. Or keep seething, we win either way.

"Money," he laughs. "It's a massive game. Re-creating it would be really difficult."

It might also be to tide people over until the next new title. Even if it's a significant overhaul, a new coat of paint on XB1 is less work than a ground-up new title.
It kind of annoys me that we didn't get Fei or Elly in with all the other Xeno cameos in the XB2 DLC, I'd love to see them in the current style.

Gears
Saga
Blade Chronicles
What's the subtitles for the next branch of the Xeno family gonna be?

I'd also rather have a XCX with some QoL improvements, but this is great too.

No, it has no waifus and more importantly, no Pyra and Mythra. Shulk also looks like a faggot, I'll have to play the game to find out.

Is this actually Tanaka? It truthfully doesn't feel the same as the XC2 design of Fiora. Have we even gotten confirmation on who the artist is, or are people just saying shit?

No

does the wii version still hold up? i mean gameplay wise

MELIA WILL WIN THIS TIME

Can I tell her to keep her hair long this time?

Well, he has the key, instead of a core crystal.

Gort from Waifublade: Torna is better

>People unironically defending downgraded character designs in this remake

You fucking people are why we can never have nice things.

I assume it has to do with the fact that Xenoblade 1 is very disconnected from the rest of Xeno whilst Xenoblade 2 showed a willingness to connect to the themes of the rest of Xeno and rewrote a lot of Xenoblade 1's vagueness, so the Xenoblade 1 remake is being done to make Xenoblade 1 feel less out of place for when Monolith eventually do Xenoblade 3.

I'm expecting to see the Zohar and Ontos and all sorts of things.

Also, hopefully the second half of Xenoblade 1 remake isn't ass like the second half of the original. Fix all the plotholes with Egil. Humanize Zanza more so he isn't just a literal asshole with a 2 minute scientist twist. Actually give Dickson an actual motivation beyond "I'm evil lol and I'm a giant but I'm evil for no reason lol"

Played Vesperia last month, it was a boring snorefest, and the combat-gets-good-20h-in wasn't even true. It was 30h on. Only the characters saved it, but it's basically the same in most Tales. Otherwise, same boring medieval towns, same boring uninspired medieval town music, same boring desert town, same boring uninspired desert town music, etc. Arise better rev up its game, because at this point if you played 2 Tales, you played them all.

>I hope they make post-Mechonis Core Alcamoth part of the main story, tie it in with the Tyrea sidequest, and move the Lorithia boss fight there. Doing that more cohesively could lead pretty well into a new Melia end.

More art in general is always good.

>, hopefully the second half of Xenoblade 1 remake isn't ass like the second half of the original.
2hrs, not the whole half. Game is long as fuck, get at least that right.

It was haield as one of the best JRPGs ever made on Yea Forums because it didn't have sequels or anything to compare it to really, and a lot of Xenoblade 1's initial fans didn't play prior Xeno games.

> Will this mean we will finally get more Fiora and Melia doujins
>Reyn shows up mid coitus
>"YEAH SHULK, GET STUCK IN"
>"I'M REALLY FEELING IT"

They write themseves, user.

You must be joking, the characters were pure trash. Only Yuri, the dog, and Judy were any good.

It will probably stay as Blade until Monolith leaves Nintendo or closes down

>They remade XC1
I don't think it confirms anything, but I feel like they'll eventually remake XCX. The story was pretty loose, the pancake designs for the characters were jarring, and all in all it'd take as much to port it as it would to make a new game entirely, so at that point they might as well fix the issues with the game. The outline may just be
>XC1 Remake > XC3 > XCX Remake > XCX2 > XCX3
In terms of Xenoblade's future.

No, the quality of the writing in Xenoblade 1 took a nosedive after Prison Island and became offensively bad with Zanza's revival.

It's a shame because the first half of the game is incredibly well written with masterful foreshadowing.

>"GET IN THERE"

>and a lot of Xenoblade 1's initial fans didn't play prior Xeno games.

If the archives were around I'd prove you wrong. There was a lot of worry from older Xeno fans over Xenoblade 1's direction, especially from Xenosaga fans.
One of the most comprehensive Xenosaga fan websites still refuses to talk about Xenoblade in depth beyond acknowledging it exists.

I'm super happy though.

The reverse, actually.

Now that the Direct hype is over, and you're now thinking properly, you should have realized that making yet another remake of XC1 means they want people to know about XC1, then XC2, for the inevitable XC3.

Now was the perfect time to port XCX, and yet they didn't even fucking bother to do it. Instead they're going for a remake of XC1, even adding the unused parts. This is really telling. XCX is dead in the water.

The character designs in the original were unique and felt great with the game. You act like his fucking character designs have not changed drastically since Xenogears/Saga.

Shut up you tard. They look incredibly generic now.

lol what
Morag couldn't hold aggro if you were halfway competent at doing damage. Dunban doesn't have that problem unless you go out of your way to make him weaker than the other party members.

I wish I could take Morag's clothes off.

Naked Duban was garbage the moment you started regularly fighting mobs with high ether atk

They better either up the move speed by default or do something like XC2 did with the shops

>1 has a better overarching plot but 2 has better characters
Other way around. Xenoblade 1's plot was really weak for Xeno standards, I'd even argue that X's plot albeit barebones was more interesting.

Xenoblade 1's characters shine. They're really basic for Xeno standards but they also hit all the right notes, they're really great characters.
Compared to Xenoblade 2's characters which are much more in depth but really hit or miss.

It was pretty wide to begin with, or at least it was with that one guy who screeched in every XB2 thread

>not using aggro down arts
morag holds aggro perfectly fine. outdamaging her aggro doesn't even become a thing until post game challenge mode

You can rip aggro off her trivially easily during the main story if you haven't been neglecting your main attack blades. The only way she can have a chance of keeping up is giving her Corvin.

>Why do so many people hate 2 here?
It's mostly secondaries hating 2, or people that jump on Yea Forums's rage culture.
There's legitimate reasons to be angry at 2 or even hate it but most of the people on this board that do hate it can't really tell you why beyond complaining about things that are in ever Xeno game.

I gotta say, I'm glad

Hard disagree
I just replayed 1 on dolphin and while it was pretty good, the writing issues have only really gotten worse for me.
The best thing I’ll say about 1 is that it was complete, there wasn’t a lot of fat or half completed mechanics like merc missions or the cloud sea level in XB2
But it loses a lot of its emotional stakes at the 2/3 mark

It was understandable back in the Wii version since you had to make the game with the Wiimote in mind, but the Switch has a lot more buttons available

the fuck? I know that 1 was nothing special in that regard, but 2 was outright bad. I take nothing special over "get it the fuck away from me" any day.

>In terms of gameplay, it depends on whether you want something more straightforward or something more layered
This could be seen as an angle for both games. DEpending on what you wanna focus on. 1 had a ton of more elaborate mechanics in general, 2 more elaborate(or busy) battles though.

Really? That's quite a difference. Alvis, Shulk and Fiora are much more obvious in XIV.

So is it a remake (something like crash or spyro) or a port with upgraded textures and models?

Combat was fine and way less cluttered than 2.
Quests? Hello echo? 1 has literally over 450 quests. Sure ther's lots of kill and fetch quests but a) it ulitized the world beter and b) there's also lots of quests for relationships between NPCs that 2 cut.

And other stuff? Such as? 1 had way more "other stuff" than 2.

>needing aggro down arts
yeah no fucking shit

I kept pyra/mythra up the entire game, morag still held aggro very well since I upgraded her too

Considering XC1 & XC2 take place at the same time frame, a tease of the Zohar being on a new planet would be pretty easy to do.

I can usually hear that but that one I only discovered by looking up the voice casts portfolios.

So as someone who's never played XC1, I can actually treat it as a sequel to XC2?

I played it on the Wii U, and it took about 30 seconds of trying to play with the wiimote before I decided I'd rather take my chances with the chunky Gamepad.

Sidequel

I don't know why you cunts keep bringing this up as if Xenoblade 1 wasn't the start of its own thing. They don't even all share the same fucking character design style. Xenosaga 1, 2 AND 3 all look different. But you're a stupid faggot who wasn't born when they came out.

Brighid herself is a S Tier blade. Giving Corvin, another S tier to your dodge tank is not a stupid idea.

Ehh, more like they take place in the same time frame. There's alternate dimension shenanigans at play. XC2 isn't an exact sequel.

XC2 is more of a sequel to XC1 and if you played it first you fucked up.

2’s characters (voice acting notwithstanding) have generally better arcs and characterization.
The issue in 1 is that Reyn and Riki and sharla are basically all superfluous additions to the party after the first hour of their introduction.
Shulk is good but standard for a JRPG protagonist, Fiora isn’t present for most of the game (but I really like her stuff when she comes back) and Melia arguably has the most compelling storylines and relationships in the game.
While you can like or dislike the cast of XB2, if you actually look at the time spent characterizing each party member on average, it’s a lot more than the average Of XB1’s seven get. The only really unimportant characters in 2’s cast are gramps and azurda which is weird since you’d think there’d be a story role for at least one of them but they’re both pretty much pointless from their introduction

LET'S BEGIN THE EXPERIMENT

Attached: 1342274931180.png (175x240, 68K)

Yes but you will need to go back and at least watch the cut scene from xc2 that ties them after you're done.

Also if you haven't played X the habitat area looks suspiciously like New LA from X too

Corvin is also not part of the base game and was very obviously tuned specifically to help counter the problem that Morag gets outclassed by Rex, Zeke and Tora.
Of course, Zeke is also a better driver for Corvin, but that's not relevant to him being good for Morag.

actually it works both ways

XB2 was anime cringe to the fullest. Prove me wrong.

WAY better.

>have generally better arcs and characterization.
>better
They have more elaborate arcs and characterizations but once again: its not better, its generic cookie cutter shit that was outright painful to watch at times.

Again, I take almost nothing and just straightforward mediocrity over that stuff

On the gameplay, I was mostly thinking in terms of systems
XB1 has fewer systems but all their complexity is presented in a very straightforward way from their introduction. Same goes for gem crafting and progression mechanics
XB2’s individual systems are much simpler than their corollaries in XB1 but because there’s 3-4 combat systems, 2-3 equipment systems and 2-3 progression systems, it ends up being more layered

Personally I just didn't like half of the characters, field skills, blades and I liked the story less and less until I just didn't care about it at all and there's other shit I'm probably forgetting.
I got to climbing the tree and just stopped playing because by that point I started hating the story. Like by that point I was only playing it because the combat was alright but it wasn't enough to make me want to finish.

I was hyped as fuck for it but ended up feeling massively let down.

Torna's combat is better than XC1 and 2.

keep coping.
2fags are in for a rough wake up call

I LITERALLY fucking teared up, xenoblade with xenoblade 2's engine was my literal fucking DREAM and to see it realized is absolutely fucking MIND BOGGLING

Not really. XC2 climax isn't just tying up loose ends, its the very definition of delivering a nice big plate of fan service the same way Metal Face mentions how he came to be in PXZ2's plot.

i got it from some tweet
twitter.com/RPGSite/status/1169386964249743360

Neat. Guess I have a way of playing it now. I dont know about the new look of the models though, I mean they look better than their 2 models but they still kinda look too cartoony and not as realistic as the original but it isn't a deal breaker. Early visuals look decent from what they've shown

I would disagree that, while typical of the genre that it was bad.
The overall story was poorly paced but the actual underlying themes behind each character and their relationships and development I thought were more nuanced than XB1’s
It’s two different approaches with varying levels of payoff. XB1 is undeniably a more complete and tight package, it’s use of straightforward archetypes and personas lends it to express itself with more clarity through the gameplay systems. XB2 goes for more complex characters within their archetypes but fumbles the pacing and delivery of many arcs due to not always knowing how best to allocate time and attention best. I personally ended up liking XB2 if only because I thought about it more after playing it, even if I had more rough patches playing it than XB1

>villains are way better in 2 than 1
Arguable. I don't necessarily see Malos or Jin as villains and the less I say about that blue pointy eared piece of shit the better but if you had to weight him on a scale next to Zanza I'd probably say Zanza was the better villain. At least he didn't get some last second sob story I rolled my eyes at as he died.

Fuck it, I hope we get a challenge mode and get to use Rex, Pyra and Elma again

I’d say they did try to make Zanza sympathetic in the end but it was very VERY last second
If anything, XB2 makes me curious as to what they might change in XB1

>in the end, zanza just wanted friendship

The first one was the true cringe with shulk and his fucked up voice and terrible combat. At least we had RINE TIME and dunbans britbonginess to make things somewhat entertaining.

He's the best of XC2 for sure.

the textures are ass, looks like they flat out ported the whole game to 2's engine so the lighting is upgraded but the rest is still wii tier

not a remake, an enhanced remaster like ff12

>At least he didn't get some last second sob story I rolled my eyes at as he died.

>forgetting "oh but he really just wanted friends though"

I’m excited
XB2 got me excited for JRPGs again in general and a deluxe edition of XB1 has me interested if they’ll take an FF7Re approach

Not really. When you play 2 after 1, you hear "We've been locked out by Professor Klaus" and you practically do a spit take.

Fuck, I forgot about that and now remembering it makes me genuinely cringe. They really should've left that bit out. He was better just being an arrogant dickhead.
