Coz the other just got deleted for some fucking reason.

Anyway, carry on.

>>714629485
I get you where you're coming from but Tales Of is generic as fuck which is why people don't care for it. Nothing to do with it combat.

FF's identity is too deeply attached to it's golden years of turn-based ATB gameplay so a lot of people just dont give a fuck about it if it's action combat.

Xenoblade is in a luxurious of having a pretty dedicated and passionate fanbase who'll stick by Monolith and play their games even if it changed the MMO combat into something different.

But yeah obviously I dont really have a good idea of what direction they could go in with combat in their next RPG, only they know.

The Atelier combat in the newest game looks interesting, maybe elements of that added in?

Mianal

>at least another 2 years till xenoblade 4 going off the pattern of the previous releases

metroid prime 4 won't be enough to quell me that long

Xenoblade threads on life support until Kinoblade 4 and/or a remake of the older stuff

>>714631036
nah that's a great thing, it means I'll have no reason to get a Switch 2 until then so it might get cheaper

>>714631159
but I have to get one for prime 4 (I will NOT be playing prime 4 at 720p)

Why was XDE forgotten so quickly?

>>714631047
a Xenoblade 2 Switch 2 expansion that adds an extra chapter about the life Rex leads with his wives.

>>714631036
Idk i think they'll have something to show perhaps next Direct. A teaser.

Its been 2 years and 11 months since Xenoblade 3. I know they released an expansion and Xenoblade X after but they wouldn't have had an entire development team working on those.

>>714631047
Basically

>>714630238 (OP)
they really struck gold with the design of the monado in the first game and the other two just look so much gayer in comparison

>>714631217
because it's a bad game.

>>714631217
It is just an improved version of something we already had.

>>714631217
X is a game that's only REALLY REALLY good on a first playthrough due to the nature of the game, it was a repeat for a lot of us. Not much to discuss anyway, the new content existed to haphazardly answer most questions left from the original and to tie a knot in the story

>>714631217
Most people who had wanted to play X played it already before the DE announcement. That and the MMO formula and gameplay doesn't feel fresh or novel in 2025.

>>714631047
we has some great X threads for a while so I'm already happy

how do i beat the N boss fight in future redeemed? the difficulty spike is insane.

>>714631692
spin to win?

>>714631692
Don't bother trying to manage aggro, at that point rex and matthew will just keep accruing it at a rate that's impossible for tanks to keep up because the devs didn't give them aggro down arts for some reason. Go retard mode with DPS alongside CC attempts, manage heals as well as you can, taunt with nikol/target lock with shulk at opportune moments and hope they go off

I still haven't beaten X

>>714631524
We had it so good, anon

>>714631236
No.

>>714631762
>>714631860

Probably because of the Niafags spamming porn.

>>714631036
Monolithsoft's new IP action RPG is coming out next year. Strap in

>>714632524
>implying new IP action RPG

I honestly can't even imagine what their next game's gonna look like. All I know is it'll look pretty damn amazing since new hardware.

But like other than that? Fuck man, just can't imagine.

Hope we dont have to wait too long.

>>714632319
yes

>>714632878
No, fuck off. XC2 already got a story expansion.

can't wait for this game

>>714633076
That's not a game dipshit.

Tidbits I've read online made it seem like they were done with Xenoblade games, which I'm fine with. I have faith in Monolithsoft's ability to deliver a good game, especially with how much more talent (and cashflow) they seem to be equipped with these days.

>>714633190
it is. it's Monolith Soft Branded Game ™

>>714632906
so?

>>714633476
It's just recruitment art. They have a bunch more on their website.

>>714633526
So why would it get another one? Every XC game got 1 story expansion each. Why would 2 get a second expansion? It's not even the newest game, it's 8 fucking years old and they've already released two more games.

>>714632524
>monolith new IP arpg
just 2 more weeks

>>714632792
I hope they continue to lean heavier into sci fi but without alien stuff, xeno is better that way

>>714630238 (OP)
I can't keep track of the stories in these JRPGs anymore. You could convince me this girl in the XDE ending was a girl from one of the previous games and I forgot about her.

>>714633594
because I want it to. they could even add more blades.

>>714634909
she's obvious al's sister

>>714634928
Won't happen retard.

>>714631236
They've moved on from Alrest, it's part of the new merged world now. They aren't going to go back to tell a story that only affects Alrest.

>>714634909
Al's sister and Mythra and Rex's second child and also Dirk is to Al what Zanza is to Klaus

>>714635138
Retard

Give us the Xenoblade Warriors. WE WANT THE XENOBLADE WARRIORS!

>>714631217
It's the worst Xenoblade.

>>714635564
Fuck off.

>>714635017
sure it will. we are going to see pregnant Pyra, Mythra, and Nia very soon.

>>714635564
Who would be the Young Link/Tiki of XW? Overdriving Elma and/or Cross?

>>714635620
3 is the worst.

>>714630567
Mia and Murderess make up 2 of the top 3 best girls in all of Xenoblade. Who is the 3rd?

>>714635664
No it won't retard.

>>714635698

>>714632524
Monolith's next game is actually Xeno Kart. It's just Mario Kart without intermission segments.

>>714635735
why are you so mad? are you autistic or something?

>>714635738
>no source cited
Kek

>>714635793
why are you so stupid? are you retarded or something?

>>714631310
It's the opposite. Second playthroughs and beyond let you see a bunch of things you missed the first time through. Like when you know what happens later, you begin watching Elma, Lin, Lao, and etc like a hawk and notice how everything later in the game is foreshadowed heavily.

I hated Lao in my first playthrough. Now that I've done my 5th playthrough he's my 2nd favorite character.

>>714635849
source is right there in the image friend.

>>714635889
you know what would be cool? a warriors game about all the Xeno games.

How's it popping, /v/?

>>714636000
Fuck off retard.

>>714631217
we have discussed everything we can and monolith retardation killed the world, so what we can discuss?

>>714635714
I'm partial to Neilnail. It's so bizarre to think she wasn't in the original release of X.

>>714635620
that’s 2, at least until they DE it, and no, having a goods tory is not and excuse for a poor execution of a game

>>714636037
>anon is too stupid to realize he is being baited
a Xeno Warriors would be kino

>>714636134
2 isn't getting a DE because Switch 2 can play switch games.

>>714636025
Terrible, and yourself?
(Now's your chance to send it home)

>>714636060
You can hardly tell she's a new character until you do her final affinity mission. Then it hits you that her character arc wasn't well thought out and rushed. She's still my favorite addition to XDE. I think everything else was downright bad. XDE is still the superior game if only because of all the QoL changes, though.

>>714636170

>>714636176
correct. it will get an upgrade patch that will include new blades and an extended endgame

>>714636265
>that will include new blades and an extended endgame
Never happening retard.

>>714636254
you really are autistic aren't you? they should make a Xenoblade VN.I really don't know how to make it more obvious for you anon.

>>714636330
you really are retarded aren't you?

>>714636198
Better than you; in other words terrific.

>>714636329
level with me anon. who the fuck do you think you are? do you think you are some kind of authoritative figure? Do you honestly think you have ANY say in the series? why fly off the handle over speculative posts? does it hurt you? make you cry angry tears? grow up loser.

I don't get the problem with a Xenoblade Warriors game. Well, other than me not wanting to spend another 300 hours of my life on it like I did with Hyrule Warriors.

>>714636438
>do you think you are some kind of authoritative figure? Do you honestly think you have ANY say in the series
Pretty ironic coming from you

>>714630567
We got Mia, Nia and Mio, now where's Nio?

>>714636438
It gives him a fetishistic sense of importance to diss strangers on a Mongolian basket weaving forum

>>714636491
Warriors games are shit. The story would be written by Koei Tecmo which means it would be non-canon. Completely pointless

>>714636536
do you know what speculation is anon? it doesn't just magically make it a thing.

>>714636491
Xenoblade Warriors is never happening because they aren't going to ever show Noah and Mio reunited.

>>714636491
the only mosuo game i have liked is the one from persona 5, the rest are meeeh

>>714636638
It's not happening retard. 2's story is done and they've moved on.

>>714636603
all games are pointless anon.

>>714636686
no fucking shit you autistic retard. holy fuck shut down your PC, go outside, find the nearest bridge, and jump off of it.

>>714636491
Some people just hate Warriors/Musou games. I get it, they're not exactly the most indepth or challenging games in the world. No one's asking them to be. I'm certainly not.

I want fanservice and I want flashy attacks. I want stages that pull from all parts of the series, with enemies of all kinds like High Entia Warriors, Mechon, Telethia, Mor Ardain Soldiers, Blade Mercenaries, Artificial Blades, Keves Soldiers, Agnian Soldiers, Mobius fodder. I want playable Blades, playable Heroes. I want remixes of all the series' greatest hits.

I want it all.

>>714630238 (OP)
Hows Xenoblade X DE on Switch emulation? Does it run well? Any good mods like unlocked frame rate or better graphcis?

>>714636654
if it's non-canon then why does it matter?

A Xenoblade game with a similar structure to Live Alive could potentially be kino. Did any anon in this thread play the remake?

>>714636772
Take your own advice retard.

>>714636841
A non-canon reunion scene would just piss people off.

>>714636857
nah, I think I'll stay here and keep making you mad.

I finished XBX DE yesterday and I'm pretty conflicted. I feel like there were some cool moments in chapter 13 that I actually got teary-eyed over (Ares Prime moments) but then I remember the contrivances and contradictions that chapter 13 brings in. I feel like X deserved a sequel but DE just said fuck it and rushed to a conclusion that needed like 2 or 3 more chapters to flesh things out. Also, what is with Monolithsoft's fucking tendency to make you play a game that you build up a whole world over (Torna, 3, X) and then they gut punch you with the ending that none of that even matters. XDE feels the worst because it tried to fill in for a cliffhanger that took 10 years to resolve. At least Torna and 3 had the planning ,but fuck them for doing that to X. The X universe deserved better.

>>714636908
Right back at you retard.

>>714636847
Yes, it was amazing

>>714636895
who said it would be a reunion? just have the Nopon Sage pull the characters from the games before they ended. just like the arena in XB2

>>714636826
https://github.com/yuzu-mirror/yuzu-mod-archive?tab=readme-ov-file
look for DE edition and download what you want

>>714636986
That wouldn't satisfy anyone. It's fucking pointless filler.

>>714637036
you just don't have an imagination.

>>714637036
NTA but it would be a musou, it's mindless fanservice. Live a little anon

>>714637076
You're just retarded.

>>714637097
>it's mindless fanservice
We just got FR.

>>714636914
because they just don't want to bother with X anymore and they just killed and wash their hands

>>714637148
and some people want more of that.

>>714637221
You JUST got some. You'll be fine.

>>714630238 (OP)
I am not enjoying XC2. The combat just doesn't feel good to me. Being forced to AA for Arts when you can't AA and move simultaneously feels really bad. I'm told it gets better when chain attacks are in but I can't bring myself to play far enough to reach it. I really want to enjoy it since I enjoyed XC1 and XCX on the WiiU when I had it but 2 just really missed the mark for me in combat.

>>714637261
I want more because it would be fun. Hyrule Warriors was an amazing game with tons of fanservice and references. I want that in Xenoblade form.

>>714637381
Zelda has way more stuff to pull from and reference than Xenoblade.

>>714637398
>implying there won't be Xenogears and Xenosaga references as well
ngmi

>>714637310
it does get better after chapter 3 when you unlock chain attack+ orb breaks, but it does gets annoying, i drop mine around chapter 4, mostly because the map and the blade grind is total ass to do

>>714636603
It's not like Xenoblade has a particularly good story to begin with. The story is just serviceable, and a fan service game wouldn't ruin it or anything.

>>714637460
Gears and Saga are owned by different companies. And it's still way less than Zelda has.

>>714637493
>not like Xenoblade has a particularly good story to begin with
Why are you even in this thread retard?

>>714637517
didn't stop stuff from them making appearances in the Xenoblade games.

>>714637603
Gears stuff has never directly appeared in Xenoblade retard.

>>714636914
Ch13 is straight diarrhea. I love X to death and I honestly think that I would've rather got nothing for X's 10th anniversary than for Monolith to completely ruin X with that horseshit.

A Xenoblade beach volleyball game would be rad.

>>714635667

>>714638019
>Morag is challenged my Zeke to do the topless challenge
>She reluctantly agrees
>She is blushing the whole time but no one pays any attention to it

>>714637398
Now that's just not true. Zelda has more games and a longer history, yes, but most of the characters/enemies are reused. That's why Hyrule Warriors had to pull really obscure characters like Agatha, the bug lady from Twilight Princess.

Xenoblade, by comparison, has TOO MANY characters to choose from. 7 main cast characters from 1, 7 main cast characters + 15 other party members from X, 5 main cast characters from 2 (assuming you don't go nutso and start adding the Blades as individual characters), and 7 main cast characters + 19 heroes (not including the heroes from other games like Nia and Shulk). Then you've got Kino and Nene from Future Connected, Matthew, A, Na'el, Nikol, and Glimmer from Future Redeemed, the whole cast from Torna, and several important NPCs like Alvis, Vandham (X), Vandham (2), Vandham (3), Ga Buidhe, Tatsu, Erio, and so on.

You end up with around 50 viable A-lister and B-lister characters to choose from, and if you want to use the Rare Blades as characters that pool bloats to around 80 or 90.

>>714637549
I like Xenoblade for the music, sidequests, gameplay, and exploration. Suffice to say Xenoblade 2 is my least favorite.

>>714638603
Blades could be the equivalent to the fairies in Hyrule Warriors.

>>714638669
You just hate 3 too then.

>>714636914
We have still some plot points like klu and Neilnail being a clone from evil nailnails, the whole j-body thing, professor B and this new planet, also ghosts. X is not done, Mira is.

>>714637310
XC2 actually does get better but yes the beginning is slow.

>>714640473
Fingers crossed they actually do something with it all. Plenty of potential.

>>714640473
Qlu universe was destroyed.

Reminder that the Qlurians are basically LotR orcs being born from dirt pussies

>>714641034
Truly based.

>>714640473
>Qlu
The Qlu are gone just like Elma's race.
>Neilnail clones
They're dead too. You kill them in Neilnail's affinity mission.
>The whole j-body thing
It's pretty much pointless when Ch13 makes it so everyone's soul is just being projected into their mims from Gnosis. Yelv's just as much a real human as the rest of the survivors.
>Professor B
What's left to explain? He couldn't escape Mira because Mira was in an entirely new universe from the one he was jettisoned from. He can't go Back to the Future because his universe is likely gone too. He's just another Arms Manufacturer at this point.

>>714641850
Eleanora probably has 2 or 3 Yelvs all for herself to unwind after a long day

>>714642375
She looks like she fucks little boys though

If I want to do big damage with my longsword build, how man melee attack XX do I need? I have 2 and 5 appendage crushers(one on the eyepatch), Infinite OD and OD count up, Bewitched Glaive with Ultrafauna and Weapon Attack up, and yet it takes two tries to kill Pharas with Hercules build. Also Gravias takes fucking forever which is making me think I need more Melee attack up XX? Right now my melee attack sits around 1500.

>>714641850
Your pic just reminded me how DE made Eleonora completely useless because there are no more squad levels

>>714643710
Pretty much, yeah. The remake sacrificed a lot to make things more convenient.

Got my Mio scale and Eunie figma today.

Every single time they make a Definitive Edition a game, they add an entire new fucking epilogue. What makes you think they wouldn't add more content for a Switch 2 edition if they're going to pass on XB2 DE? Nintendo is giving fucking Kirby an entire new story mode with new content and you don't think Monolith can throw out a few extra gacha characters/sidequests for *the* best selling Xenoblade game of all time??

"never happening retard"
you know I remember hearing this EXACT LINE when people were coping about XBX DE when people were theorizing they would connect the games to the numbered Xeno trilogy somehow.

>>714636170
NTA but you are 100% right. Fire Emblem warriors is kino, Hyrule Warriors is double kino, and Xeno warriors would be triply kino.

newfag posting vg sharts has been a meme since 2010, it doesn't use actual sources and sales numbers are completely made up on assumptions based on time of release and shipment articles, in no way it was ever indicative of actual game sales especially since it cannot track digital sales either, you're a dumbass zoomer that never lurked moar

>>714635849
NTA but Nintendo has straight up released XB3's sales numbers multiple times, are you guys retarded?

These are all directly from Nintendo's financial briefings they have each quarter and at the end of each fiscal year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_Switch_video_games

>XB2 - 2.7M
>XBDE - 1.88M
>XB3 - 1.86M

We don't have any numbers for XBX yet but we should learn soon enough. Apparently it sold pretty well according to Monolith as their profits saw a 19% increase for the fiscal year, which is pretty sizeable. I doubt XBX did crazy numbers releasing at the end of the console's life, but I imagine it sold at least 1M.

>>714647115
Isnt there a lot of stuff going on with references to the holy trinity, trinity processor and all that stuff. The father the son and the holy ghost yadda yadda. I wouldn't be surprised if Chaddy Poppins isn't supposed to be some kind of jesus and Lao's the holy spirit

>>714633543
This was actually disproven.
It was art for a new RPG title just used for recruitment purposes.

>>714641850
I mean the Neilnail is suspicious. She is the clone from the previous evil Neilnails. Chances are this one is also evil. She was destroying every piece of Qlu past, kinda gave me Alpha vibes by the end.

>>714648805
>regrets magnum opus
How come you reached that conclusion?

>>714636491
What the fuck would the goal/story objective be. To even begin with?
Who are your armies? 90% of what you fight in xenoblade games is random wildlife not people.
Only 1 has an endless mook army with the mechons, in reality.
3 can vaguely half get away with the clone soldiers but not to the degree warriors games needs.
2 has nothing as does x.
It's fucking retarded top to bottom. Thre are better things to make. Both for warrior spin-offs and with xenoblade.

>>714648837
>XC3
>magnum opus
Nice joke.

>>714636847
Curious to how youd do that.
I thought the remake was stellar, so another game like that could be very neat.

Nia anal

>>714648908
1 has Mechon the human military and telethia
2 has Ardainian soldiers
3 has the clone armies
X has mechs prone those women that can shapeshift and if you really only wanna use a single model, Yelv who is now being mass produced your OC villain has brought 4 eras together for some reason, everyone’s gotta stop him/her. There’s your game.

A new title is likely on the way.

>>714649947

not enough to have the uillusion of thousand+ armies
same for telethia.
same for mor ardian or tantal, etc
already said 3 has it be somewhat workable due to the clones.
x only has prone in that numbers
xenoblade warriors just doesnt work.
