What will Xenoblade 4 be like?

Hopefully its a return to form and more like 2, the best game in the series by a dramatic margin.

>>715368121
Nintendo will never allow something like Xenoblade 2 to be produced under their watch again. They're full on anti-anime and anti-fanservice now.

Something tells me you don’t intend to actually talk about games, OP.

>>715367987 (OP)
why were people so mad at this picture?

>>715370429
Male fantasy. Straight males aren't allowed to fantasize. So sayeth the roastiefaggot cartel.

>>715370429
Ruined the neighborhood. Emboldened the worst of the community to make every other Xeno thread about porn. Ultimately ironic that it came from a game that was trying to convince them to meet a real woman and get a real life instead of stagnating.

>>715370323
I do though. I enjoyed the series and find it particularly ironic that Xenoblade 3 might as well be shouting at the player to have sex and have children for the sake of the future.

>>715371021
>why don’t you just fix everything we broke by siphoning up all the resources for our gain and meet someone and have children in a world where we’ve conditioned everyone to put up walls and fight you for getting close from the day they’re born
Boomers can choke and swing

>>715367987 (OP)
Hopefully it's nothing like 3.

>>715367987 (OP)
Hopefully 4 will establish a pattern that even numbered Xenoblades will be raunchy and full of heart, while leaving the odd numbered Xenoblades to be more modest and appealing to normies.

Next game will be all about the wacky adventures of Zeke and Pandoria guest starring Kos-mos.

hopefully its more like X and less like 2 and 3

>>715367987 (OP)
It will be X2

>>715367987 (OP)
It will probably be something akin to 3 or Xde in terms of tone. Also, it will be a little more schizo than the both of them.

X4 will be a Xenosaga reboot that ends with Kos-mos descending in a ball of blue light on the newly conjoined X3 planet.

>>715374996
No.

>>715374996
>t. Was in a coma those last few months

>>715375086
You just want to stay in the Endless Now.

>>715375281
Actual projection lmao.

Probably making good on those Saga connections
Takahashi probably won’t be directly involved anymore just supervising

>>715368121
Xenoblade 2 is trash

>best game in the series is trash
Kys

>>715367987 (OP)
Man fuck the harem, I just want Rex to be with the best girl, Mythra.

>>715367987 (OP)
If it isn't what Future Redeemed teased, it will be shit. And will make XC3 an irredemeeable PoS because FR was the only good part of it. Simple like that.

>>715375630
>best game in the series
Only people who started with Xb2 think this

>>715370429
it's not that people got mad, it completely ruined the discussion surrounding the franchise, now every other protagonist is only ever going to be compared to Rex and his harem.

>>715367987 (OP)
Hopefully with no cuckshit like in 3.

>>715370236
fuck off CH schizo faggot

>>715375784
XC2 is the reason why the series is popular at all.
Cope.

>>715375902
Thank you for admitting you're a secondary

>>715375978
Thank you for admitting that you're a seething coping retard.

>>715375834

>>715375485
>Implying Saga
>When Blade is Gear pilled.

>>715375834
What cuck shit is in 3? There was no real cuck shit.

I like Xenoblade 3. Dunno why ""people"" are mad about it.

>>715368121
FPBP
3 is shit.

>>715375719
That’s just part of the problem with haremshit. The “everyone’s heckin’ valid” approach kills a lot character debate and discussion.

I like Xenoblade 2. Dunno why ""people"" are mad about it.

>>715376396
""people"" are mad about Xenoblade 2 retard.
>>715375579
>>715375784
>>715375978

>>715370429
Because people don't like Rex. He is easily the worst character in that game.

>>715367987 (OP)
A new Xeno (insert thing here) to go with the new console, soon to be announced for sure

>>715368121
>Hopefully its a return to form
>like 2
2 is the third game you damn 2daries.

>>715376429
Harems are not workable except for in extreme circumstances like X2. So I’m fine with it.

All of those women would plausibly want Rex’s nuts. Zeke is taken. Not a lot of man meat to go around.

>>715376646
>All of those women would plausibly want Rex’s nuts
Doesn't mean he's obligated to reciprocate

I like that 2babs are slowly realizing they have the weirdest and cringiest 'blade in the serie, and by extension in the xeno' metaserie.

>>715376803
He doesn’t have to but everyone would understand. Including all the women. And Rex himself.

>>715376854
>still seething impotently over 2
Kek.

>>715367987 (OP)
That Xenoblade 3 DLC already wrapped everything up regarding the first two games, so I'd be pissed if we returned to those universes again.
I'd love a game set in an entirely different universe.

>>715377013
>He doesn’t have to but everyone would understand
Everyone would understand what? Finish your sentence, and use punctuation retard.

>>715376135
Saga is the only one mentioned in game, Gears to this day has not had any official connection to it

>>715377109
Pretty sure they already said that they would stay in the same universe but the Klaus arc is over.

>>715375719
>best girl
>not Nia
ngmi

>>715367987 (OP)
I want X2. I want a mech that controls like the Hraesvelg, but with an actually good (or customizable) moveset.

The problem with 2 is that the problems of the story are arbitrary and there's a LOT of filler. It's not seinen or shoujo like the rest of the series either, it's plain shounen. But what do I mean about arbitrary problems?
>blades losing memory
>blades being a slave race
>blades needing drivers
And the terminology is gay, too. It's like how FFX tries its hardest to say Machina instead of technology or the L'Cie/Fal'cie shit in FFXIII. It doesn't mean anything to real people. Then there's the art style clash, the whole story up until after Temperantia, more than half the shit with Torna (aside from Jin and Malos a collection of two dimensional jobbers)... It has some highs, some of the highest highs, but it also absolutely has the metaseries' lowest lows by far.

>>715377013
You say that like they actually bothered to write anything between “Boy Meets Girl” and this reveal to make it work. But at that point I’m just getting into how half-baked 3 just IS as a whole.

>>715377150
Understand having multiple wives you illiterate ESL dumb shit.

>>715377193
>>best girl
>>not Nia
Correct, it's not Nia.

>>715377184
Klaus has been dead for a whole game, how the shit did his saga last through Xenoblade 3?

>>715377256
>ESL calls someone else ESL

>>715377229
>the problems of the story are arbitrary and there's a LOT of filler.
But enough about XB3.

>2 bad!
>No, 3 bad!
Don't you faggots ever get tired of that shit?

>>715377345
>what about 3!
3 has zero filler, though. Every story quest adds to the knowledge of the world, stakes, and situations and seriously alters character trajectories

>>715377517
Every sidequest in 3 is filler. They all get erased by the reset ending, and don't have any impact on the characters.

>>715367987 (OP)

>>715377517
>seriously alters character trajectories
You are so full of shit. Why are 3tards like this?

>>715377597
This is not a Zelda thread retard

>>715377184
So either
>near-future absolute clusterfuck that is also trying to integrate a bunch of shit from X they lazily slapped onto things with XDE
>far-future where they can just hand wave anything that isn’t convenient to whatever story they want to tell as having disappeared with the passage of time
I suppose I’d prefer the latter, because at this point I feel we need clean the slate, but with how desperately the tried to jam anything relevant to X into things I’m worried it’s the former.

>>715377279
3 was still dealing with the aftermath of what he did, even if he wasn’t present. Future Redeemed ties it off.

>>715377182
>The trinity core is basically Kadomony
>The Ares Prime is the Xenogear
>The term mark come from a part of Perfect Work.

KOS-MOS ain't coming back, sorry.

>>715377504
No, fanbase tribalism is the natural state of things.

remaster when?

>>715377585
Even before X confirmed the existence of an overarching collective unconscious that stores the memories of every life lived by every living thing which remains a part of them for every incarnation, you could see people in 3 being affected by their past incarnations.

>>715375784
I started the series with 1 on Wii, continued with X on Wii U, got 1 again on N3DS and again on Wii U, then got 2 with Switch. At first, it was disappointing, especially compared to X. But, by the time Pyra and Mythra came back, it was my favorite game in the series. And it remained my favorite game in the series even after 3 came out.

>>715377670

>>715377950
That’s Xenoblade 4’s job to remake it.

>>715377597
>>715378045
>redditbuddy

>>715378001
There is nothing in the quests that changed any of the characters.
Zeon learning how to farm potatoes is pointless because they don't even have time to complete 1 harvest season, and in the real world they have machines which can harvest plants at an exponentially faster rate than people. So yeah it is 100% pointless.

>>715378045

>>715367987 (OP)
the same variety of trash as the previous 4

>>715378058
Not happening moron.

I hope the teenage jacket squad from 3 never shows up in any game ever again.

Okay but how does Rex fucks 3 wives? Isn't that unhealthy?

>>715377585
>Gray being available way before the City reveal
>Ashera remembering things from her past lifes like Eunie or Noah.
>Eunie's quest revealing what happens to Gold ranks, something that was left hanging in the main story since chapter 3.

>Triton and Irma giving nuances to the Consuls, right before N and M are properly introduced

>>715378631
>Kos-Mos already did come back
As a bonus rare blade. And of course Fei isn't coming back, he ain't a sex doll to make merchandising of.

>>715378515
Gray doesn't remember meeting the party after ending and vice versa. They will never remember or see each other ever again. So yeah that is 100% pointless.

>>715378552
Machina have semen?

>>715378631
His whole party was in Brave Exevius

>>715377784
I'm most curious how the events in X might impact an XC4. Makes me kind of want 4 to be like mass effect where we play a space faring race of people this time around

>>715378515
>>Lanz's story being a conclusion to his entire character arc.
Implying Lanz has a character arc lmao

>>715378631
Fuck we got confirmation that XB1 Klaus scene takes place in the same world as Xenosaga

>>715370429
Unironic NTRfags upset that Rex not only had sex with the girls but had so much sex that he impregnated all three

>>715377784
The way I see it, you will rediscover the post-3 society from the P.O.V of a BLADE member.
Essentially a more classic isekai.

>>715378620
A harsh truth a lot of people refuse to confront. The amount of "I sure do like masturbating" posts disguised as character discussion skyrocketed.

But faggots like >>715378919 will say otherwise, because they've consumed such copius amounts of porn of this game, that they can only see this issue as a "porn I like" VS. "porn I don't like" confrontation.

>>715378889
¿ No ?

Wrong, I started with 1. So stfu

Why did Namco have their name on the dlc for 3

>>715367987 (OP)
Shit, like 2 and 3. 2 is fucking terrible and proved that Takahashi is a hack. It's a game for retards that pretend they like classic anime adventures but actually like chuuni garbage.

My ideal Xenoblade would be like this :
>The basic gameplay of 3 (without Agnus recharge)
>A "closed class system". Basically every character its his own class (kinda like Xenoblade 1), but they have access to different kits.
>Ether stat coming back, and a new Martial stat that is the physical counter part of ether. Basically, it does physical damage, but it also improve "morale"/"order" based buffs and taunts.
>Martial and Ether stat also improve defense, and the guard rate is dictated by Dexterity and a few more modifier
>The MMO trinity system being toned down. Instead, you have a Fighter-Support-Utility triangle.
>Progression entirely based on FR's affinity system. Exit level grinding!
>Either Skells or Ouroboros, I am good with both. Just nix the flight module, I don't see the point of adding a feature to skip interacting with the levels. However, if you fly via a mech that transform into a plane, then its perfectly fine.

>>715380130

Young Zeon will awaken from the Endless Now with an intense desire to grow spuds when he grows up. His potato farming industry will be vital in the future of the combined world to providing tremendously tasty top shelf taters the world over.

It will be just Takahashi jerking off to his own reflection, like XB3

>Want to resume playing Xenoblade 3 on Switch 2

Fucking travesty. Why does each Xenoblade game have some kind of song that just interferes with normal gameplay?
Xenoblade 1 has the vision tag breaking music that overrides EVERY song, Xenoblade X has the flight music, I forget what Xenoblade 2 does, Xenoblade 3 has chain attack music, camp music, and pause menu music that you hear more than normal gameplay.

>>715386148
Watch Monolith do it out of lack of self-awareness

Anon, its just one game. Everybody is well dressed, with the coomer stuff being optional.

>>715370429
It was ResetEra coping that it was "polyamory" and not a harem.
I feel happy to be a part of that leak (I uploaded that end cutscene from the datamine that it was pulled from)

>>715376646
This. It's one of few times having a harem ending fits. With the world being kind of fucked, it makes sense for the group to stay together and build a family. They care and love each other so no need to make him "pick one".

>>715386148
>>715386363
Reactions like these are precisely why I want it to happen.

>>715390974
If they want to sell more than 2 million units next time, they should embrace the coomer aspects of their deepest darkest desires and go hog wild with the scantily dressed anime women once again. It worked for Stellar Blade, and it worked for them previously with Xenoblade 2.

>>715390974
the coomer one is the highest selling one thoughbeit.

>>715370429
It is so trashy.

>>715367987 (OP)
I wanted to like 3, I really do. But I just couldn't get into the whole thing at all. The first parts were amazing, with how bleak it all looked and the callbacks to the first two games. But unfortunately, that's where the novelty wore off. I set my expectations too high I guess. I didn't like any of the combat in these games, only tolerated the faux MMO shit. But man, the combat in 3 was boring.
As for story, I forced myself to marathon the game. But in the end, I still couldn't do it. I was a fag who couldn't even finish the job. I dropped the game on the final chapter. Sometimes I wonder if I should've just gone through with it, considering Ive slogged through the story, but fuck that. I'm throwing in the towel, whatever the ending is can't possibly be worth the hassle this game was
Hope 4 fixes things

>>715395879
It was meh. The DLC actually felt like a proper final boss thing.

>>715367987 (OP)
Dunno but the next game is Xenoblade Y, a direct sequel to XDE.

replay Xenoblade 3 and pay more attention to the themes this time.

>Stellar Blade
Didn't that game got carried by the chink PC market with regional pricing?

why do tendie secondary turd worlders always out themselves in the most hilarious ways. if we look at the overall meta series, which includes xenogears and xenosaga, then xenoblade 2 is the real black sheep. it is nothing like ANY of the other games tonally. Whether or not you like it is a moot point, you cannot pretend that it is a good representation of the series. Even if we only look at the Xenoblade games themeslves, tonally it is nothing like 1, X, or 3. I swear to fucking god there are so many of you shitty nin toddlers who picked up the series after mythra and pyra (if we use their english names) were introduced into smash and so your entire reference point for a massive series is this borderline slop shonen 1 off that is nothing like any of the other games.

Now, that being said, i dont dislike 2 as a whole. There is a lot to love about it, especially the environments and a few of the characters.
But holy fuck is it way too full of too much over the top cringy shonen humor slop moments WAY too often. And they do a huge disservice to an otherwise extremely important and emotional story about Pyra and Mythra. Rex has to be one of the worst jrpg protagonists of all time if we only look at his portrayal in 2 and not in 3's FR(unironically he WAS redeemed in future redeemed).

>>715396670
Sold more than any Xenoblade

>>715397369
It's also on two systems vs only one.

>>715396469
DLC not having you face off against a fusion of N and M was a sore point for me.

>>715397465
Over the course of over a decade, Xenoblade 1 was on Wii, N3DS, Wii U, and Switch. And yet it still couldn't hit 3 million.

The only Xenoblade that has come closest to hitting 3 million was 2, which fully embraced the raunchy sexy horny energy of its devs and audience. And ironically, that was only on one system to boot.

>>715397321
I don't really care about your opinion. 2 is my favorite, and I want the series to be like that one. Kill yourself.

>>715397321
>tonally it is nothing like 1, X, or 3
Peak secondary post.

>>715398087
explain how 2 is like 1 X or 3 tonally. go ahead, i will wait.
>>715397803
the fact that you want more games to be like 2 is fine, whats not fine is pretending that all the other games have been like that in the past or that the series is like that. now telling people to kill themselves because they differ in opinion from you is the clearest sign that you are one of the following
1. underage
2. retarded
3. from a 3rd world shitstain
4. autistic and unable to handle differing opinions
5. a combination of the above

>>715397735
In regards to that, when it came to the western release, they only release at Gamestop in the US 2 years after JP Release. And each Gamestop only got like 2 copies.
They did basically same thing with the 3DS version, and the Wii U version (Virtual Console) was released digitally in 2016.
Nintendo of America tried so hard to make Xenoblade 1 fail.

>>715397735
>Wii, N3DS, Wii U
All limited releases, Wii U being the most accessible of those 3.
That being said, did we ever get exact numbers?
>And yet it still couldn't hit 3 million
How do you know this? I'm pretty sure if you add up the sales of all XB1 releases (Wii + 3DS + Switch and excluding Wii U) it easily hits 3M.
Which would mean XB1 is the best selling entry.

>>715397369
Yeah but comparing raw sales without context is dumb. Stellar Blade had insane ad money, viral coomer bait marketing, and hit both PS5 and PC (especially the latter, where horny clickbait sells like water in the desert). Xenoblade is still shackled to Nintendo hardware with minimal push outside Japan. You're comparing a flashy dumbed-down action game to a niche-ass JRPG series that’s never been mainstream. If Monolith ever went multiplat and leaned into coomerbait full throttle, you'd absolutely see those numbers too.

>>715398685
dude I said I wanted the game to be like 2 and then you came out instantly calling me a "tendie secondary turd worlder" (the fuck are you even talking about), so don't act like me telling you to kill yourself is an unwarranted attack. next time don't be an asshole and I won't say that.

I really wanted to play Xenoblade 2, but emulators won't work properly. Should I skip to 3?

Has there ever been a Xenoblade thread that wasn’t cancer?

X threads don’t count because ESLs don’t care about it.

Well yes, that's what happen when you appeal to the lowest common denominator.
There is no way a cookie cutter coming-of-age shonen would not be popular. I mean, did you see what's popular lately? You have Solo Leveling, which I only saw one gif. In that gif, they didn't even bother animate the action, they just turn the characters into lasers that collide lmao.

>>715370429
it established that humans can mate with blades, yet we had not seen any human/blade hybrids despite most blades looking like anime whores and a blade's whole existence are to be dependent to, and eventually provide for humans.

Either Nia was to be with Rex after Pyra died, before they rewrote the later into surviving, and so it ended into a harem.
Or Takahashi channeled his people pleaser side and had all of Rex's love interest "win" to please fans.
Or he just like harem anime.

Least of all the name they chose for the 2's ending.

>>715398903
you used the term "return to form" on purpose. so either you are some illiterate esl turd worlder who doesnt know what that term means or you are trying extremely hard to back track now that you got caught being a secondary. You cant want a series to "return to form" when that form is only 1 game in a much bigger series that isnt very similar to any of the other ones. Use a different fucking term you illiterate shit stain.

>>715367987 (OP)
Whatever it is, I hope it's different.

>>715371675
Expedition 33 seems to pull a ton from Xenoblade 3 and everyone loves Expedition 33 for some reason.

>>715405641
Imagine trying to sound so intelligent while being blatantly wrong. Just shut the fuck up and jump already, retarded cunt.

>>715405757
You don't even have to hope, because its going to be different. Why do you think we constantly have tribal wars between the numbers?
Except 1, everyone respect 1.

>>715405812

>>715405407
Yeah, it was obviously a retcon in 3.

>>715405809
>Expedition 33 seems to pull a ton from Xenoblade 3
No it doesn't.

>>715405947
>>715405407
it would have been cool if anything at all in 2 hinted at a harem ending because while it does make rex seem a lot cooler, it does also feel a bit fan fix esque considering we literally see him friendzone Nia to her face and she has to come to terms with it.

>>715367987 (OP)
With how things are going on Nintendo, and what they're doing?
I hope they don't make another one. I don't want to be tempted to buy the game. I don't want to own a switch 2. I want them to change their attitude to something akin to Iwata's tenure.
But they won't. The Switch 2 isn't going to fail, even though they are scummy as fuck right now.

Tough luck, even though I love the series.

>>715402630
We got somewhere with M, but it was butt a shadow of a dream within a dream.

>>715405947
I felt like they were afraid that by having Nia's child as a MC, Xenoblade 2's players were going to feel that Nia was "stolen away" from Rex.
I don't think this was necessary at all, but whatever.

>>715406063
What is Nintendo doing that has your stockings in a bunch?

>>715406045
They did add a new title screen in a later update which had Rex, Pyra, Mythra and Nia together. There was even another one where Nia cucked Rex lmao.
Also, I think Nia was featured in the video where Noah and Mio fweet Monolith Soft's history.

No she wasn't.

Is that how you cope with 3 being inferior to 2?

Monolith are not supergeniuses who come up with never-been-done concepts for stories. They rehash the same sci-fi tropes as everyone else.

I'm not even sure why people are so bent outta shape by the harem when it doesn't matter at all narratively.

It was established in a 2 second image of the third game, well after most all the characters depicted in the image were "dead" and gone. No one's character changed to make it happen, no character relationships changed, no story aspects changed or were made any worse from revealing that Rex dicked down three women in his youth.

People make it seem like 2 was this ecchi romc com slop where every other cutscene was Rex and the girls being horny for each other when it was really a love story between Rex and Pyra for 60% of the game, then Mythra sorta gets on board near the end, and Nia's revealed to even have such feelings in like, the last or second to last chapter of the game, and even then she essentially chooses not to act on them at the time.

>>715406932
Glimmer spent more time with momma Mythra

What if Rex didn't have an harem, but instead married and divorced them one by one?

>>715405809
It really doesn't.
Expedition 33 is mostly about people dealing with grief and loss.
Xenoblade 3 is about "stagnation bad"

>>715368121
This comic is exactly why my wife is a "Pyra". It speaks to me.

>>715407058
It just feels cheap, and like it's only there to appease the lowest common denominator who's main attachment to the game was "# of loads I've blown". And for a game that was trying to tell the players to go get a life and not stagnate, that inclusion in particular seems to have backfired on them, because Xenoblade discussion has been bogged down with 2fag self-inserter goon seshes ever since.

>>715368121

It's supposed to be a heartfelt scene you twit.

Saying that XB3 is about "Stagnation bad" is like saying XB2's about "Slavery bad"

>>715407739
I didn't notice it until my NG+ game but Pyra is utterly miserable at that point. She's still wrestling with the memories of Torna and she does not believe she deserves to live

>>715407892
XB3 hammers it's themes down your throat. The party literally looks at the camera and repeats the themes to the player just in case you were too dumb to get it.

>>715407892
Not really. 3 is so blunt and stupid about its themes that it couldn't even bother to have a real villain, just a living representation of the concepts that can argue with the protagonists.

>>715368121
You are and will get hate from this post but never forget that you are based and correct. 2 literally saved Xenoblade, that historic fact cannot be changed.

>>715406252
For starters, the stuff with the patents of gameplay.
That's beyond nasty.

>>715408039
i'd rather it wasn't ""saved"", whatever that means, than having to deal with retarded 2oomers shitposting the other games

>>715407978
>>715408020
Nah.
The vocabulary used for the world trying to fuse hearken back to relationships. And that's pretty much the actual theme of the game.
N & M's story is basically a sekaikei.

>>715408335
Which is entirely there to reinforce the boomer-whinging about the new generation needing to start families. Hence, stagnation bad.

>>715406427
This. The Nia thing is just the director sniffing his own farts and was all added in after the fact. Even then, it was worth it to see the outrage from the picture in 3 I guess.

>>715407351
I feel like the discussion point is slightly overblown, that aside, it's not like that was the goal of the picture.

People talk about the XC2 girls all the time because they're hot. They don't talk about the games anymore, ANY of them, because most everything that can be talked about has been said. Like, they're finite games and once you've played it once, you know everything about the story. The most people can do is paw over some obscure lore bits and speculate on what's next.

>>715408458
That's blatantly untrue. Its like saying that XB2 tells you slavery is cool because some blades are cool to be shackled to another person their entire life.
But then again, you are not here to talk about Xenoblade, are you?

>>715408557
>The most people can do is paw over some obscure lore bits
It's me. I'm the guy doing that. I'm very interested in the story of Alrest

>>715408623
It's absolutely the point you fucking pseud. XC3 is blunt and dumb for the kinds of retards who score games for a living.

Wasn't there a "leak" (or just some /v/ schizo post) about the rough outline for the next Xenoblade game?

Something about a man finding a massive space ark and finding and activating the cute robot waifu guardian of it and you explore with her the different biomes inside?

Am I the schizo?

>>715408335
The theme is stagnation bad. The characters literally look at the camera and tell you that in the ending.

>>715408753
So why can't you understand it :-) ? All you've been doing is say "3's themes are so easy to get", and then just throw words at the boards without the context to back it up.
Me think you are just doing this to join "the cool kids" gang.

>>715408557
>it's not like that was the goal of the picture.
I feel like the collection of $300 statues they keep reprinting would disagree. Feels like an easy way to bully whales into buying all 3 of those expensive fuckers for the sake of accuracy, and getting artists to draw porn for the sake of free advertising, but maybe that's just the cynic in me speaking.

>>715368121
What would one even do in this situation, beside popping a boner?

>>715408335
N & M's story is boring as fuck

>>715397321
This sums it up perfectly.
Xenoblade 2 sticks out. I didn't like it all that much either, purely from a gameplay view most of its mechanics were tedious or time wasting things like field skills and merc missions.

>>715409048
Honestly, I never got around finishing 2 because of the gameplay. Like, I was able to power through the cringe boomer anime references, but when I got to that one electric field skill requirement at the very end of the game I just quitted it because the gameplay's a snore.

>>715409136
Yeah it's a lot easier to cover your ears and pretend the game is perfect if you think everyone who dislikes it is just one guy right? Grow the fuck up.

Just let it rest and do something new.
Whatever Monolith does, I'm positive the fans will show up to support them.

>>715409321
it's always criticize, you just know whenever someone uses that word. fuck off nigga.

I miss when Xenogames weren't harem faggot shit and actually fun story games. Take that trash back to Persona where it belongs. Give me XenoSaga 4.

>>715409048
Something interests me how games that are rushed in development and first release "incomplete" tend to have a larger following. Like Xenoblade 2, Three Houses, or even going further back like FF7.

>>715409554
Sonic 06?

>>715409464
Holy generic reply. The first post that led you shitting your pants from insecurity is not even about the game being bad, it was about 2fags thinking their game is the "true roots" of Xenoblade games lmao.

Art through Adversity is a well known concept. Why do you think the most beloved Star Wars movies are the first two which were created under some uphill battle to pull something together under heavier restrictions and get it out the door?

Lmao 200 posts of seething. These were the same retards making the

>comparing the entry that couldn't do any kind of proper minigame for the diving and couldn't be assed to kill off anyone who mattered to a game that has snowboarding, tower defense, and chocobo racing with one of the most famous, impactful deaths in a video game
Let's not get ahead of ourselves

I feel like the oddball for enjoying XC2 for the world and characters. I also just enjoy the battle system. The only thing I dislike is the gacha. But whenever I hang out in the threads it's mostly about people being mad over the gooners or something about 3, which I haven't played yet

>>715410240
Meh, Aeris' death has nothing on Galug's death.

>>715410262
Xenoblade 3 fixed every issue I had with 2. Its only real problem IMO is that you can't level yourself down so you're constantly switching classes the entire game, never able to settle on a comfortable set-up of classes for your party because it would be a waste of CP.

>>715410262
Long story short, Xenoblade 2 got bullied hard on /v/ (see "japanese humour").
And desu, 2 IS the oddball for having such fanservice, when Xenoblade 1 and X had it be optional.

>>715410394
Too bad 3 couldn't fix its shit story and shit characters.

>>715410394
I think its kind of a shame the characters don't have their own kits for each classes, like how 2 had characters having their own attacks for each weapons.
Like yeah, flexibility is nice, but it always come at the cost of uniqueness. See D&D and its clone debate on Race-as-Class vs Free custom.
My favorite thing is the 6 character party. Its just pure fun.

>>715410469
Well I've played 1 and I agree. I think the closest thing 1 has to a sex bomb is Sharla? And even then you have to intentionally do that with armor equips. I don't think I slutted up my Sharla too much

>>715410469
Xenoblade 2 is the oddball for a lot more than just "fanservice". It's tonally inconsistent with the rest of the series, a lot more optimistic from the get-go and while Xenoblade never shies away from shounen-esque tropes and cliches, it had the had the sense to reign it in.
All the characters in the rest of the series have far more texture to them, even side characters.
Xenoblade doesn't have the best antagonists, and is far more devoted to its themes and "bigger picture" but I think any other antagonist is better than Jin, Malos and Amalthus. Jin especially is unforgivably shit and Malos is hardly a character. People only like him because he's sarcastic.

>>715410805
>Jin especially is unforgivably shit and Malos is hardly a character. People only like him because he's sarcastic.
Now that's interesting. People usually have the exact opposite opinion.
Though I do admit that I don't care about Malos, I do like Jin for being basically villain Shulk.

>>715410752
Okay I slutted her up a little bit

>I do like Jin for being basically villain Shulk.
huh? I think the only similarity they have in common is they've been caught in the middle of wars.
Jin spent 1,000 years brooding over "war bad" and blaming humans, even tried to trigger another war to prove his point and only started gaining self-awareness when Rex showed up and said "um that's bad."

Don't even get me started than the lightspeed shit and his god awful nomura wannabe form.
Or how Rex inexplicably powers up and suddenly being fast as light isn't an issue?
Christ, I get a headache just thinking about it.

Malos rests in the same head space as Sephiroth for me. Sephiroth on his own is horrifically uninteresting. But he has a strong effect on Cloud and Shinra, who both become more interesting as a result.

In the case of Malos I don't care about him as a character. I mostly care about how he changed Mythra and how the world is trying to recover from what he did.

>>715411128
What about Mikhail? I think he is too good for Torna.

I'm particularly fond of Tantal myself. The music there day or night is haunting, the ruins are fascinating, and the entire area just feels so melancholicly beautiful.

>>715411221
I never played Torna admittedly, I had enough of 2 after I beat the game. Didn't do any postgame stuff either. That was the first and only time I've done that with a xenoblade game, normally I give it 2 playthroughs and do as much of the postgame content as I can.

>>715411282
Nta, but not liking Jin doesn't mean he likes N.
As for me, I do like N. I love how intimate his reason to join the status quo is. And liked the beef he had with Noah too, felt more intimate than Jin vs Rex.
N is kinda romantic, I like it.

I can't think of a single character from 3 that I liked.

>>715411373
Actually, I was talking about the terrorist group lmao.
Still, for the game where blades are meant to be living beings to be respect, their blades before the flesh eaters reveal sur felt like emotionless props.

Sephiroth serves his purpose as being this disgusting culmination of heavily-marketed corporatism and the military-industrial complex. There's inklings of tragedy to his story, but ultimately you're supposedly to be disgusted that the world the game takes place in could allow for such a horrific, repulsive, unstable being to come into existence and then give him all the power he needs to destroy them.

Heh, funny how it turned out IRL.

I think it's cool the subtle ways X connects to 3.

They even went the extra mile to make the Samaarian UI look like Xenoblade 3's UI.

>>715411351
I've only just begun digging into Tantal. An interesting bit is that Tantal used to be at the bottom of Genbu. But as Genbu became colder and ice began to build up, everyone had to move the entire kingdom up to those spires. Still Tantal is beautiful. Night Tantal music is relaxing, I listen to it regularly.

As for Gormott I've been trying to put it's history on a timeline. Which sucks because I keep forgetting to write it down. Mor Ardain wasn't always as nice as it is under Emperor Niall. I think an NPC said it was 100 years ago that Mor Ardain crushed the White Chair, which was Gormott's Capitol. So Gormott fought a war of invasion for a full century before relatively recently, by that I mean 20 years ago, where they stopped fighting and surrendered. In return Mor Ardain put Gormott under the protection of the military and upgraded Torigoth's infrastructure. But while the younger generation is willing to accept the Ardainians, the older generation still hates them. So there's a bit of a split with the Gormotti about MA usurping their Titan even though they can't do anything about it

I also found the Nopon to be funny.

Everyone else, yeah,

>>715412769
>>XCX somehow below XC1 when it's gameplay is literally an improved version of XC1
XC1 is better than X IMO. Each character has more clearly defined roles, tanks actually TANK and the main character doesn't just blow through battles by pressing the "win" button aka overdrive.
You can do far more set-up and maintenance with your party's gear whereas in X it takes a god awful amount of endgame grinding to get them anywhere near on the level of the MC.
The flow of combat is far more sensible, every party member contributes, and there's plenty of good synergy between party members.

X is messy. That's the best I can do to describe it.

>>715412259
Mor Ardain has the best music but Uraya looks the best.

Funny thing about MA, ALL of their government is run by the military. Apparently it's always been that way. Hugo in Torna says that every Imperial ship has to double as a seat of power for the Emperor so they can function as a military unit no matter where they go. Although each secretary is changed out every few years to avoid monopolizing power. And while some people love Emperor Niall, others fucking hate him. One of those terrorist groups keeps trying to kill him and replace him with someone else. It makes me wonder though, what was the Emperor before him like. Because Gormott got kicked in the balls so hard they can't fight anymore. Emperor Niall was ready to share ownership of Gormott with Uraya as penance for the snafu on Temperantia. I bet the previous Emperor would've told Queen Raqura to eat his ass and if she retaliates, she's gonna shove Mor Ardain's boot in it next.

Got any good lore info on the Argentum Trade Guild?

For our starting area, it had a decent little bit of charm and I kinda wish more plot relevant stuff could have happened there.

Really, if you haven't already, maybe consider making a Youtube video or writing all this lore down for people to read.

>>715413110
Wasn't it made by a pirate Nopon or something? Then he told the other Nopon to talk in the cute way to appease to h*mans

>>715411996
I'm glad they stepped it up again for FR cause most of the area themes in base 3 were really lacking.

>>715413002
It is a visual clusterfuck but it's simple to set them up and you can still take control over the flow of battle in 3. X is a mechanical nightmare of a lot of conflicting ideas. I like it, but it's not anywhere near as solidly designed as the main three xenoblade games.
X would be fixed if tanks actually pulled their weight and Soul Voices were removed or at least reworked, but the way resistances are handled in X makes that nigh impossible without reducing the amount of them and giving the player generous access to resistance augments.

Only when you use the lame ouroboros forms.

Settle down. Ignore their relationship if the idea of a black and a white being romantically involved makes you mad.

Eunie is genuinely the funniest, most lively member of the main cast. Between her "Queen's X" statements and her cockney accent and casual nature, she's the only character than doesn't feel like an emotionally stunted child soldier.

And I appreciate the fact that Taion was one of the only 2 people who didn't immediately get on board with working with members of the enemy army like Lanz. But while Lanz just becomes a dumb himbo who largely whinges about "Muh Urine", Taion looks at everything that happens around him and says
>This is fucking retarted and I'm exhausted.

>>715413002
Surprisingly, it isn't. Its not that hard to set up the 6 party members (you couldn't customize the heroes until endgame).

>>715413750
Ive played it, it is.

Shit and gay. This series went to hell after the first game.

I personally liked them quite a bit. They do lack the... grandiose-ness (?) of the other entries, but take a listen to something like Yzana Plains with the lonely ticking of a clock, or the desolate windiness of Eagus Wilderness, or the heroic Boat #2

4 will probably continue on 3's and XDE's momemtum. So expect.

I like how they don't get along initially and their partnership grows naturally as they learn to trust each other

Brown girl MC that doesn't have an alter ego

>>715368121

>>715413813
Yeah yeah, same old "series is dead" screeching every time they don't remake Xenoblade 1 in a different font. 2 was jank but had soul, 3 had great character dynamics and nailed the tone, and Future Redeemed felt like the devs finally got their groove back. You just miss Melia's thigh window.

>>715414906
>3 had great character dynamics
No. Noah and Mio are boring as fuck and the rest are irrelevant.

I like Interlinks. Its so unique.

>>715412713
i agree with you that abyss is better, but abyss is unironically overrated by you and other people who shill it so much. its just "ok". most of the party members arent all that interesting, the story is pretty good but theres way too much fucking back tracking, the main character is the most insufferable twat and i dont care if it was on purpose you can have character development and growth without making the MC just completely unbearable for more than half of the fucking game. And the WORST part is that after his "redemption" arc, he still isnt all that interesting, hes just taking accountability for his actions and doing the most bare minimum a decent character should do. But because he is "progressing" from literally the most unlikable protagonist outside of YIIK, people just seemingly forget that hes not an interesting character. At all. And neither are most of the party members. Vesperia and Berseria are both a LOT better.

>>715414989
Noah and Mio are copyright-friendly Fei and Elly, and having the background of two full games helps establish them better as characters than in Xenogears.

>>715415010
The Ouroboros forms really got sidelined in the end. Not only narratively, but gameplay wise, they never were all that pivotal compared to just going into an optimized chain attack or letting Noah TEAR IT ALL DOWN with Lucky 7.

>>715415443
>having the background of two full games
No, they don't get to use other (better) games as a crutch. That's retarded.

>>715412713
Abyss is better in concept, the lore, the art, the world building, it's all strangely high-quality for Tales, but the characters are ass and the story meanders way too much, Symphonia is the opposite, painfully generic and bland, but the characters are charming and the story is pretty focused.

>>715415509
They do, but you need to not be a toddler who can infer things instead of needing to have them explained to you.

>>715367987 (OP)
When update for switch 2?

i want to play xenoblade 2 without having to take my eyes off

Crazy how Nia has a cancer beam

>>715377504
the fanbase is split between xenoblade 1 & X and 2 & 3, you could literary see this during X treads

>>715415831
I think 3 is the bad one and the other three all have merit.

>>715395313
i fucking hate that you motherfuckers want every fucking xenoblade to be just like 2, is ebcause of retards like you that they fucking floped chapter 13 on x

>>715415742
>only uses it once and then malos just comes back for the very next fight like it was nothing
what did takahackshi mean by this

xenoblade 3 is like 2, but shittier
so following that trend 4 will be like 3, but shittier

>Hey guys look it's my new OC, Ada- I mean Adult Re- I mean, Al! He's so cool and such a gigachad. He talks down to Elma and calls her princess, that's how cool he is!
>'How's it poppin?' is so cool! We're gonna beat you over the head with it in every scene just to remind you of what a great part of his character it is! Please like it, it's his only character trait.
>We didn't give you enough dialog choices when talking to the great Al? Ok, you can choose between sucking him off gently or seething with jealousy over how cool he is. God he's so cool.
>Remember that cliffhanger 10 years ago that we never resolved? Well we decided to bring Lao back just so he can suck off Al and talk about how great he is. God I love Ada- I mean Al.
>Yeah this whole story kinda spits in the face of the original game's message of building a new life on Mira but you get to hang out with Al now!

Why did Xenoblade 2 destroy Takahashi's brain?

>>715399078
i play it on ryu, the only glitch i suffer were the clouds textures bugging with the map but nothing more.

>>715416062
they tried something new with x and it failed so hard it broke them. now every game has to tie back to xb1 somehow

>>715415626
>who can infer things instead of needing to have them explained to you.
I can infer it just fine dipshit. 3 isn't particularly deep or complex.

>>715416062
i think the best way to play X is to just play the switch version and not do any of the new story missions at all and pretend they dont exist. The combat and gameplay changes as well as all the QoL stuff are all amazing, i just dont understand what the fuck they were thinking shoehorning this OC donut steel tier character into a story that had literally nothing to do with him.

>>715416062
so the shit they added to the X definitive edition was garbage? haven't played it yet but I figured as much

>>715416062
Xenoblade 2 is one of the best selling xenoblade games thanks to all the hype from 1 and x, so takashi took this as that we want more shonen bullshit instead of a more controlled tone like the previous ones, truly a sad state of affairs.

>>715416062
>Whenever Al is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "where's Al?"

>>715416251
as i said in >>715416209
this post, everything they changed that wasnt the new story at the end is great. Hell even the new skells are pretty cool. Just dont play the new story missions that take place after the ending of how the story origonally ends in the Wii u version because it comes across as the most cringy fucking gary stu self insert shit i have ever seen in a video game and it ruined one of my favorite games.

>>715416363
Stomach it once so you can get quick cooldowns for Skells. Either skip all the cutscenes or put everyone in slutwear.

>>715416251
The new stuff is ok, considering X's story wasn't great in the first place.
People just love being hyper negative in these threads.

>>715416554
>t. takahashi
have your wife come out of retirement and start writing for you again you fucking hack. stop ruining your own franchise like george lucas and learn to accept the fact you arent perfect and could use some outside help and perspective.

>>715416251
basically, everything from chapter 13 onward is trash that should have been either not done or been in the oven at least 6 more months, they could have literary leave us with the same cliff hanger from the original and it would have made the game look waaaay better.

>>715410752
>I think the closest thing 1 has to a sex bomb is Sharla?
Crazy how nobody remembers Fiora

>>715416845
Fiora is more of the girl next door type, and i say this as someone who thinks she is the cutest girl in all of the entire series. Shes not really the sex bomb type. and thats ok honestly, shes better this way.

What color hair will the next Xenoblade MC have? I'm betting they'll be a ginger.

>>715416845
Not surprising when she's absent for most of the story.

>>715417181
thats not elma on X,also i say eitehr blonde or
white

>>715417181
fixed for you

>>715417256
Al is the main character of X.
How's it poppin'?

>>715406093
Her ass was way too fucking huge.

What is Shulk doing over in Radiant Historia?

Technically, default Cross is red head.

>>715415445
Tbh, Noah's Ouroboros does get a sick secondary talent art, with the one debuff that always hit!

>>715419383
Same animation has some scenes of just Noah and Mio at the start if that’s what you want. The whole thing escalates into Noah, Lanz, and Taion groupfucking Mio and Nia by the end though

How come they gave her fully modelled labia, anyway?

>>715420294
SaitoM's true power was leaking out when he designed that outfit.
He was sealed away like Zanza after XC2's sexo levels nearly broke everyone's dicks.

Kek you got them seething for speaking the truth

>>715420294
>she pees out of that pussy

>>715417647
Based take. Monolith gave her the most outrageous dumptruck physics like they were trying to distract us from how mid her sidequest was. Worked tho.

>Nia has minge
>Mio has SUPER minge

Mio should have gotten ether lines from her mom

Technically, Xenoblade Xde is now Xenoblade 4.

Been playing these games since the UK release of the original on the Wii and 2 is the only one that remains worth playing. The rest of the titles are just empty wank that I and others likely fell for because of the presentation signalling something that wasn't really there. Or because they remain impressed by huge open fields of nothing 14 years later. I dunno.

>>715424030
Xenoblade X is Xenoblade 10, always has been, always will be.

So was them showing a scene from Xenoblade 3 in the rift in chapter 13 just fanservice, or does it mean Aionios counts as a full-fledged dimension as far as the Xeno multiverse and its inner workings are concerned, and everything that happened there also got recorded in the rift, same as with every "naturally occurring" dimensions?

I thought Aionios' status as basically a fever dream born from the collective unconscious of souls trapped in Origin, and effectively a computer simulation running on loop until enough people got over their fear of the future, disqualified it from being a proper "dimension"?
