So what's next for Xenoblade?
Are we getting Xenoblade 4 or a completely new IP with similar gameplay?
I miss Potato-chan looking more potatoey.
>>714384285 (OP)I just want an Switch 2 patch for XBX that brings it to 60

>>714391271...out of ten!
>>714384574How is Nagi the best character in all of Xeno?
>>714384285 (OP)>Rex and Noah have waifus that love them.>The closest woman Xkun has to a valid love interest loves another man.Why did X cuck (you) instead of just giving you the brownfu?
>>714394542because Cross can be a woman and gays are only comic relief characters in Xenoblade, homosexual relationships are a no go
>>714394542Strange, in my game Cross married Murderess and became the greatest Frontiernav Tycoon in the multiverse.
>like chronicles
>like X on the wii U
>xenoblade 2 was ok but the gacha was retarded
Should I snag the X remake or xenoblade 3? I skip all cutscenes so I don't care about story
WHERE IS THE S2 PATCH?!!!!!
>>714393346https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasunori_Mitsuda
There is a lot of buzz in Japan that Mitsuda may be composing a new work in the Xeno series.
>>714395551I haven't even bought a Switch 2 yet
>>714394542>>>The closest woman Xkun has to a valid love interest loves another man.Who? I think Hope's love to Jesus Christ doesn't count.
>>714395448X I guess. 3 has too many cutscenes.
>>714384285 (OP)Who gives a shit.
Xenoblade was never good
Mmo combat slop
Tranime slop
>>714395448If you play X first, 3 will feel like slogfest. I like both though.
>>714384285 (OP)We are getting Xenoblade Y read as Xenoblade Crossroad
>>714398436A lot of people.
>>714395448If you don't care about story, then play X. 3 is far more story heavy.
>>714395448You can skip 3. It has a lot of story, but most of it isn't very good.
>>714384285 (OP)Well, considering they said 3 was the end of the Klaus saga and the producer said they'll keep making Xenoblade games, I think we'll get a Xenoblade 4 eventually. Not that Monolith can't work on a new IP in-between.
>>714398436>somehow fails to place a question mark at the end of his sentenceTypical retarded behavior from a thirdie. Hate fags who step into threads and bring literally nothing to the table. Just posting for the sake of posting their opinion no one cared/cares about.
>>7143954483 is the most similar game to X gameplaywise. It has a lot of story but also a lot of sidecontent. Also has the job system, like X.
>>714399094>3 is the most similar game to X gameplaywiseit isn't similar to X, retard.
>>714399094After buzzing around in skell, 3 just feel extremely slow.
>>714398948I hope they give it a different subtitle or something to help differentiate it from the other games.
There are still people that ask if they have to play the previous Final Fantasy games if they want to play the new FF numbered titles. Numbered titles will always filter some amount of buyers even if all your marketing says it's the start of a new saga.
>>714399159It is absolutely like X if you never got a skell outside of Combat. Most of the world is optional content, all the sidequest chains interconnect as you unlock colonies similar to X's alien NLA factions design.
>>714399527You can't go anywhere from the beginning like X. You have to progress sidequests in a linear fashion, unlike X. There's no mechs. The City is nowhere near as big or robust as NLA.
Man I love X but I forgot how fucking long it takes to get through. I know I keep doing sidequests but leveling up is taking an eternity and a half.
Think we will ever get a space adventure think xeno flavoured mass effect? its the one direction I think the series could go that would keep the games fresh. Although a polished more comprehensive attempt of X's colonisation/imperial expansion themes would also be a good option.
>>714392093Because he's the perfect mix of stoic straightman and nothing personnal *stabs you in the back with 1000 times folded Niponese steel*, making him the perfect foil and/or participant to the usual Xenoblade anime nonsense.
>>714401139Doubt it. Based on 3 and XDE chapter 13, monolith just wants to have Shulk and Rex and their family friends do wacky adventures forever.
>>714394542??? Definian Love ends with both of them deciding to pursue (You) instead of other men/women.
>>714401827I'm cool with Shulk returning as long as he keeps Dunban's awesome fighting style.
>>714402101Shulk has already had the role of the young hero and the old mentor. From a narrative standpoint there's not really anything left for him to do.

No more Xenoblade I hope. Let that universe rest forever.
The next one will be in a totally original universe called Xenosword.
What's the best way to enjoy Xenoblade X?

There's so much potential in this series for a big gacha game filled with hot waifus to pull for.
>>714403128Let me guess, you also want Xenoblade Warriors? Very unique and original opinion anon
>>714402718Upside down with your cock out tugging away
>>714403108Mitsuda literally retweeted the "New RPG from Tetsuya Takahashi" tweet put out from Monolith
>>714403128There's so much potential for me to cave your skull in with a rock.
Hmmm yes I suppose the games are good but they would be better if you could only play them with an internet connection, your party members were random slot machine pulls and the content was timed events that are gone forever after 2 weeks.
>>714384574game flopped twice. at best you will get cameos in the actual good games.
>>714403431your obese ass wont even allow you to pick up a rock from the ground lmao
>>714403624Means he's composing for it.
>>714403893Prove it. Has he made songs for literally everything he's ever retweeted about?
>>714403887I am a professional rock chucker you don't stand a fucking chance KID
>>714403953Yep, he has. There, proved it fartface.
>>7143954483 has the best gameplay and cast but also the worst maps
>>714404117I'll need a list of all his retweets with the associated projects or you're lying.
>>714404196>and castNo, it's cast is shit. Noah and Mio are so fucking boring, and the other 4 are irrelevant.
>>7144041962 exists. Those maps were so bad they had to drop the walk speed to a geriatric pace to make them feel bigger. 3 also has far more verticality and nicer secrets.
>what I would like to see
Xenoblade 2 remastered on switch 2 with better performance and bug fixes (and maybe a more fair gatcha FFS) and I guess for the other games as well.
But I also want to see a new "Xeno" series.
>>714384285 (OP)I didnt care for chapter 13
>>714404370>nicer secrets.Nope.
>>714404507Yeah it was kinda bad.
These guys are shockingly at peace with their own history. At least the younger generation is
>>714404370Verticality doesn't mean a lot when it's in service of shit like Maktha Wildwood or Erythia Sea.
I really don't like those maps.
>>714403786Hasn't it already outsold XC3?
Xenoblade 4
>>714384574The amount of retards who think X2 is happening after the ending of X DE is astonishing
>>714404414Switch 2 can play switch games. XC2 isn't getting a remaster. Maybe a s2 edition, but there won't be new story content.
>>714404896I mean yes I understand that The Ardainian army could crush Gormott but the Gormotti seem to be willing to let bygones be bygones
>>714404856Hasn't even hit half of 3's sales
>>714404921Xenoblade Y
You fuckin idiot
>>714402998>XB3 was his final big game thoughHe said the same exact thing after Xenoblade 2 and complained that Xenoblade 2's soundtrack killed his motivation and willpower to work on huge soundtracks.
Then Xenoblade 3 comes along and he did more than double the tracks he did on Xenoblade 2.
>>714404783Well from the looks of it, Mor Ardain really isn't fucking with the people too much
>>714404945christ at least fix the damn bugs so that I dont risk having the damn game crash when Poppi QT 3.14 appears
>>714404507The final dungeon was cool and I think the ending is fine just not as cool as the original ending. The rest of it, especially Al is shit, but not offensive enough to bring X down for me.
>>714405130This is the most pedantic dialogue in any xeno game.
>>714405104mitsuda's the kind of guy who works to near-death, burns out, says he's finished for good, and then comes back and works himself to near-death again
chrono trigger and xenoblade 2 put him in the fucking hospital
>>714405275yes I find it to be quite shallow and pedantic
>>714403128Gachas put a character's relevance on a timer. Characters like Shulk and Pyra/Mythra are now timeless characters. You think they would be relevant in a gacha where 2 years from now they'll be powercrept/written out for the new hot guy/girl? Look at most gachas, and I doubt most people care about the launch characters as much as whatever the latest patch character at the moment.
>>714405190Yeah for a JRPG Empire, Mor Ardain is really chill. They take consideration of surrounding factions. Even though Gormott is a vassal state, they uplift Torigoth with resources and tech to make their lives easier. I mean Dunghall was a selfish, greedy idiot but when news of the Aegis spread, the Ardainian Inquisitor checked him and sent Brighid ahead of her to watch him. And when it began clear that he was a fuck up and the civilians began protesting, the Ardain didn't slam the boot on their necks, they just kept the peace as much as they could. It's kind of cool. I was expecting the evil empire trope to come up but it never did. At least not from Mor Ardain
>>714405780It wouldn't even be that unreasonable for MA to be more extreme than they were given their desperate circumstances (our landmass is desertifying and also literally going to drop dead soon)
>>714406219Yeah Emperor Niall actually wanted a slow, peaceful integration with Gormott. Which he very much didn't have to do. Because at some point, I think I heard an NPC say 100 years ago but I can't remember, MA crushed Gormott's capital city. MA could've just said
>this Titan belongs to Mor Ardain now. The cat people can kiss our assBut at some point MA restrained itself. And while you can't just declare oopsie daisey after that, MA did take responsibility in rebuilding their infrastructure before assimilating into their lands.
>>714401139And here I was thinking of a sword and sorcery barbarian world in space with four armed and four breasted alien princesses.
>>714407250Pretty chill of you to say that Wold
Anon, you know you can make an image collage, right?
>>714407358From the file name he might be posting from his switch.
>>714407358>collagedont you dare utter those words in a xeno thread
I want more robot girls please. Ones that are fully featured to hug and kiss.
>>714407785nearly every girl in X is a robot
>>714388792better lighting
more soul
really disappointed in the remaster
>>714404783>>714405021The issue is the local government is incompetent as fuck to the point that one older Gormotti admitted that Dughall while corrupt as hell, he begrudgingly admitted Dughall kept everything running smoothly so they didn't have to worry about day to day issues.
>>714408079The Chief did admit that. But he also said that's because MA had stripped them of most of their authority, so even with Dunghall being an incompetent dipshit, the local chief didn't really know how to run Torigoth anymore. Because they hadn't done it since the day MA took over.
>>714402101Shulk wishes he had Dunban's fighting style. God I miss Soaring Tempest.
>T-Elos
I swear I love this edgy Blade. But I wish I could get KOS-MOS
>>714410971>But I wish I could get KOS-MOSAll you can do is max your luck at 999 by equipping 3 luck-boosting Common Blades and 2 luck-boosting accessories on the same Driver, then pray.
>>714384285 (OP)They are making Chronicles X 2
>>714412275Why is the best stuff in this game locked behind RNG rituals?
>>714412374>ChroniclesYikes
>>714412565Because it's a gacha
>>714391271inside and out
>>714412565DLC blades mogg everything in the base game the powercreep was stupid.
>>714413086So I got a couple Torna Blades. Namely Sever and Obrona. But you can't change their weapons. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these Blades are terrible right?
>>714413814IIRC Perdito, Patroka and Mikhail are pretty good. Don't try to roll for the later, he's unlocked through story progression by going to the entrance of the World Tree after he "dies"
Xenoblade 3โs class system feels like Iโm assembling pieces to a puzzle for 120 hours and maybe putting some of it into an actual build in the final couple hours.
Just leveling classes to not waste CP. Often for no gain at all.
>>714408067DE is infinitely better than OG because you can change your party from a menu and because you don't need to bring Elma and Lin to 99% of quests
>>714416238I care more about visuals than crap like that.
>>714415301Yeah that's the only bad part about classes IMO. Wouldn't be an issue if you could level down from the beginning like the other xeno games.
>>714416660You must have really loved the god awful potato faces and embarrassing pop in huh?
>>714416660>I care more about visuals than gameplay I'd be surprised if this wasn't/v/
>Dughall would allow Nopon to upcharge the people of Torigoth to deliver orders into town
>When Dughall was ousted and the military took control of Torigoth, Nopon stopped shipping goods there and all current orders were canceled on the spot
What the fuck?
>>714416804There is still pop-in in the remaster but no, I just liked the better lighting. Having characters look full bright ruins the aesthetic for me.
You're also retarded if you think the faces are any better now, they're just different.
>>714416992>slight QOL vs the entire game looking worsehmmmm
>>714416660That's because you don't play games you just watch them to form a retarded opinion.
>>714417157Got any proof of that?
>>714417079Again, you choose visuals over gameplay.
And youre a fag for that, simple as
>>714417079>You're also retarded if you think the faces are any better nowThey are significantly better, yes. Sorry you're blind.
>>714417078No but like what the fuck. There's no way Niall or Morag knew this was happening
>>714417186You told everyone you don't care about how a game feels to play as long as it looks shit, which is good to you.
You're literally a mindless elitist looking for a reason to shit on an objectively superior upgrade to make yourself feel cultured. A hipster.
>>714417196I just have taste and I'm not a pedantic pissbaby obsessing over inconsequential adjustments.
>>714417245Arguably better or worse. They objectively have worse shading, more rigid facial animations, more angular features, less hair physics, and changed skin colors.
>>714417346>getting mad that someone has an opinion and doesn't care about arbitrary changes to menusNow this is autism.
Next games combat should be a mixture of:
>Final fantasy 13 paradigm class changing system
>Xenoblade 2 combo system
>Octoptah Traveler weapon/element break system
And get rid of the excessive amounts of accessories and collectibles.
>>714413814The Torna blades have unique skill sets that give them niche uses but since you are already in NG+ they have pretty limited use. Server can hit damage cap with surprise attacks great for one shoting regular mobs but useless against uniques and story encounters. Patroka has a global elemental weakness multiplier making her useful throughout all encounters that have weaknesses. Ahkos whole stick is he inverts defence bonuses making him very effective against a hand full of enemies and mediocre for everything else. Mihkail is a well rounded tank with a excelent set of blade arts aswell as a cheeky skill that applies blowdown to attacking enemies to all party members however its a fairly low chance and many enemies are immune to blowdown. Perdido just auto attacks shit for massive damage its a stong effect but really doesn't mesh well with all the games other ways of increasing damage.Obrona is a very diverse blade with her driver arts being very different depending on who is using her making her adaptable to many team compositionsbut she is very middling overall she has a pretty good niche with Nia as she gets a driver art that has both critical recharge and inflicts break and a very fast blade switch time not as good as a fully kitted out poppi but it is a viable alternative. Cressidus skill that makes all his attacks increase topple duration very slightly on hit makes him also very good on fusion combo teams.
>>714384285 (OP)xenosaga remaster me thinks
>>714417874Even if that happened, Bamco owns it so they wouldn't have to get monolith involved. Probably won't happen at all, though.
>>714417874Middle looks weird. Anime with realistic textures are always so deep in the uncanny valley for me. The most I can accept is the environments and even then the anime artstyle has to REALLY compliment that in order for it to work
I guess Torigoth should just buy locally then
>>714417473You pretending the original looks better is not taste its being a contrarian faggot
>>714419238>You pretendingGod damn drones like you are pathetic.
>>714384285 (OP)>completely new IPI hope so. I'm getting fed up of them shitting on the stories of previous games to try and connect everything together.
>>714384285 (OP)Is this game avaiable on PC or is it consoleslop?
>>714413814Obrona is ok. Maybe the second best break blade after Poppi. Patroka is actually good.
>>714419841Yes, and it came out on PC 2 weeks before the Switch version
Well maybe Torigoth will get a better consul next time around
>>714420471Yeah that's not happening buddy
I hope Morag led a nice life and found a good man.
>>714420731she married her cousin
>>714420731I just hope she found a way to relax and enjoy life
>>714417874Better: Nintendo buys the full rights of Xenogears from Square Enix and Xenosaga from Bandai Namco and we get the 6-part saga Monolith originally wanted to make.
>>714421147Never happening.
>>714420731Why would you want your waifu to fuck another man?
>>714422080>wojak shit Go back
>X DE was a massive failure
kek
>>714422916good, I love X but we don't need X-2
>>714421487Because I donโt exist in the Xenoblade universe.
>>714425753Doesn't make it any less cringe
>>714422916it got 0 advertising beyond nintendo gifting it to twitch ecelebs
doesn't help that asscred shadows completely eclipsed it
>>714425979Can we even be sure that Qlurians have functioning sexual reproductive systems when they are all female and born from artificial wombs?
>>714426635Potato-chan looks better than I remembered 2bh
>>714426635>>714426814she looks fucking hideous, are you fucking blind?
>>714427703She looks like a cute baby doll
>>714384285 (OP)>So what's next for Xenoblade?More shounen brainrot and terrible combat i would imagine.
I'm replaying 3 right now and man I missed a ton of content without realizing it.
If you don't explore and help people out more than half the game just isnt there.
>>714428925This is why we need Xenoblade X2/Y. Xeno needs to be pulled back to its mecha and a sci-fi roots.
>>714430389I played the same and my playthrough was still like 70 hours. If I did the side content, it would have been like 120 I'd guess. Maybe some day
is it still too late to get into the X remake? i havent had money
>>714430643nah, playing it on the switch 2 was a way better experience
>>714430835i just meant for online i cant get a switch 2 right now
>>714430389Unfortunately a lot of the side quests are pretty boring, and they're rendered pointless by the ending.
>>714404856Yes, if you like remove 1 million sales from XC3.
>>7144043703 has a lot of shit maps filled with nothing. Erythia Sea is an absolute clusterfuck to complete.
>>714402704Xenocrisis. Each episode is named after a Dr Seuss book
Just got Ares 90, bros.
Luxaar's Xern (LV 90 tyrant) fell after like 2-3 arts.
What the hell, this skell slaps.
>>714431403>Luxaar's XernWeak.
>>714421147If Nintendo were suddenly willing to buy they wouldn't be willing to sell.
>>714422916Shouldn't have censored the boob slider.
>>714384285 (OP)New Xenoblade with a blank slate.
>>714431403Ares 90 is overrated.
>>714425507It's right there in the image.
>>714431076>and they're rendered pointless by the endingBased
>>714425193X-2 is impossible anyway, they literally destroyed the X universe while bringing anybody relevant to the main universe specifically to eliminate the spin off.
>>714425507there is no source
>>714422916>Shit game flopped AGAINYou love to see it.
>>714432056Well we don't know exactly where they ended up after the jump though.
>>714404507The only thing is that it brought a couple plotholes with it but I don't care enough about X to check if I'm right or wrong.
>>714405263>just not as cool as the original endingThe fuck are you smoking? Literally anything's cooler than sitting on this shit for a decade.
>>714422916A part of me wonders why they didn't just have this be a Switch 2 launch title, but I get the feeling they didn't have much confidence in being a system seller so they opted to go for the larger audience on the Switch, but I guess that didn't turn out well either. XBX will always be a black sheep in the series for a number of reasons:
>Main story is okay at best, which will deter a lot of RPG players if the plot isn't that good.>Cast doesn't have that many particular standouts in design due to customization. >Combat system is somewhat convoluted, and it doesn't help that most of the cast lacks identity in their kits besides their key arts. >Skells take a long time to acquire, which kind of becomes a turnoff for how the game is promoted. >Skell's battle system is clunky compared to the ground combat. They mostly just turn into super weapons for special circumstances. >Many the game's systems are poorly explained, but luckily most of the game can be completed without going too in-depth. Despite all of this, I still love Xenoblade X, and it will probably remain one of my favorite open world maps for a long time, but I get that a lot about the game is a deterrent to most buyers.

>>714436335I didn't like his design at first. But I like that he's a lot scrappier in personality than Shulk who's more of a polite tinkerer

>>714388792The new model is better, but the old design was superior. Lin is supposed to be a little kid, but the redesign makes her look like an adult.
>>714437095they aged her up but they still censored 90% of her outfits
lmao
>>714436639If it means anything to you; I don't have a picture of Rex saved to my computer "Xeno" folder. The only image that happened to have Rex in it was a collage of MCs.
>>714433863What do you even mean anyway? Dead how?
Joining online missions? Nobody ever did that, everyone hates the waiting.
Squad tasks? It's a coin toss, you sometimes enter a squad that completes them a lot or not at all. People prefer doing the missions, so you get shared tickets a lot more often than squad tasks tickets.
Yggralith and Telethia Plume? I feel like they are getting killed faster now than a month ago, actually. Makes sense since grinding augs and testing builds takes time.
My character gets scouted every day as well, so I guess Online is as active as it has been since release.
>>714437095I still like the idea that Lin Lee Koo, genius scientist and designer for much of Earth's technological travel and mimeosomes is, in fact, something like 60+ years old and a male.
He's guaranteed a space on their spaceship and management is forced to concede to his demand he try out being a 14-year-old little girl for his mimeosome. For funsies.
>>714436398I'll say his design is rather silly because he drops the bulky helmet yet he pretty much keeps the rest of the bulky gear for combat with only the gauntlet anchor gloves serving any purpose.
>>714437741No, fuck off, that is so fucking retarded
>>714437887Makes sense given how strangely experienced this 14-year-old is, how much respect and influence she has with everyone (including the aged administration), and the idea she's fine with the fact she has ZERO family with her.
>>714438309bro have you never played a JRPG or watched anime? The child genius is an incredibly common trope
>>714438590It's not "common" so much as it is "unsurprising" of a story trope in most every culture, throughout history.
In the video game Xenoblade Chronicles X, a game where humans insert their souls into a robot of their choosing... a 60+ year-old Korean science nerd who's created technology all of Planet Earth marvels him for, wishing to try a "genius teen girl" isn't really some bizarre concept.
>>714426680They are descendants from samaar like humans and they are cloning themselves for generations. Chances are they can breed but don't for some reason.
>>714438890It would completely change Lin's character. Like the whole thing with Lao ditching his plan because Lin reminds him of his daughter. You're really just graphing at straws for something that isn't there. This is on the same tier as "the MC is dying and the story is hallucination" theories that show up for everything.
>>714439323I stated numerous reasons why the personality and history of the character doesn't challenge the idea of "mimeosome can look however you want it to... just look at Cross!" It doesn't change anything about Lin Lee Koo's character at all. Including the one example of the insanely depressed antagonist of the game fawning over appearances to appeal to his emotions.
You seem absurdly upset about this idea.
>>714431403Yes that's cute new try to defeat telethia.
>>714436335His design makes sense when you play the game, the stupid pants and boots is from his salvage job but yes it just makes his design look like some kingdom hearts reject.
>>714439813There's nothing in the game that actually supports your retarded "theory." Cope.
Oh I never caught that Mythra saw that Nia is a Blade and a Flesh Eater this early on.
>He thinks Nintendo will let a company with a mildly successful franchise out of the mines

Why did these dumb niggers at Monolith think Skell combat for end game tyrants was fun or cute? This shit is fucking boring. I spent hours grinding fucking classes to beat shit with my damn ground build, but these flying niggers are so damn high in the sky, I can't hit them. How the fuck am I supposed to kill Vortice when it's 500 feet over a damn volcano?
>NOOOO JUST GET THE QUEEN OR MASTERA SKELLS!
I did and slapped all the weapon ups and whatnot and a Zenith cannon, and that piece of shit always kills me at half health. Is it just getting lucky you get cockpit mode 3 times in an encounter? Like wtf am I doing wrong?
>>714404196> best gameplayCombining the combat systems of the first two games was an interesting idea, but chain attacks are way too OP, invalidating the rest of the combat pretty much.
The QoL stuff compared to earlier games was good, but dear God was class leveling system ass. So much fucking grind.
> worst maps> worst soundtrack> worst castFuture Redeemed was such a step-up from the base game, it's not even funny. Shame it was so short. It's what's the main game should have been.
