Which one do I play first? Kinda leaning towards XCX on my switch poo but not sure. I do like the whole single player MMO vibe but is it actually worth playing?

X is pretty much self contained and is a great 90s sci fi anime romp that will keep you for hours.

Play the numbered games in order, with their DLCs/expansions after their main game.
X can be played at any time. XDE added some very minor connection to the numbered games but you can safely ignore them if you aren't aware of them.
Also, might as well wait a bit to see if they announce any kind of Switch 2 patches for any of the games.

XCX is relatively standalone with only minor connections to the rest of the series. It has fun gameplay and best in class open world/exploration, but the story is pretty weak. Go in expecting not much better than a typical Bethesda game story, and you will be fine.

XC1, XC2, and XC3 all have excellent stories, but are structured less open world, and more like larger zones. 1 has a more classic JRPG feel in it's setting and tone, while XC2 feels more like a shounen anime, and XC3 feels more like a 2010's seinen. Gameplay wise, 1 is also the most straightforward, 2 adds a lot of complicated systems that enhance certain parts of the game (combat is amazing here) but makes other parts of the game feel like a waste of time (Merc Missions, Field Skills). 3 takes what worked best in 1 and 2 and mixes it together while trimming the fat and either getting rid of any element that was subpar, or streamlined it to be point of being inoffensive.

Narrative 1, 2, or 3 can be played in any order. 3 does follow and reference the events of 1 and 2, but knowing 1 and 2 isn't necessary to understanding 3. The same cannot be said of the DLC expansion for 3 called "Future Redeemed" however. That needs to be played last and will make 0 sense if not played last. Future Redeemed also spoils several events and reveals from all other 3 mainline games.

I'd say play X, and if you like it's gameplay but want more like it (but not exactly the same as it) but with a much better story at the cost of more limited freedom/exploration, pick up any of the mainline series that interests you most after. Just don't touch Future Redeemed until you have done everything else.

It's not the kind of game where you choose who to romance like in a Persona. The protagonists (except for X) have very defined personalities and arcs. They do all romance a specific girl in each of their games, and the XC2 protagonist is such a gigachad that he canonically romances them all.

oh yeah I remember that. Pyra/Mythra brought a huge contingency of secondaries who were seething that XC3 wasn't like XC2 (even though XC1 wasn't like XC2 anyway). All of the XC games are generally different from each other and only tied together by similar gameplay identities.

You underestimate the amount of people who have "played" XC1 by just reading up lore after playing Shulk in Smash, played XC2, and now fancy the entire series should be as shounen as it was. The truth is that all the xenogames, much less the xenoblade games, are a bit different. If I had to make any real criticism of 3, it's that it takes fucking forever for its plot to come together in Act 3. Its emotional highs were legitimately great though. There are no bad Xenoblade games no matter what anyone says

The series now feels weighed down by its own lore and is starting to feel like the MCU. If the next game is a new Xenoblade, I hope it's entirely removed from everything before it storywise. A new beginning and a fresh start.

I'm really not as invested and into the Klaus stuff as much as I used to be. A single crazy science guy in a lab coat who destroys and creates an entire universe isn't interesting to me and I actually find it quite silly. The Trinity Processor, Origin, Blades, etc, I don't find any of it exciting or compelling anymore so I'm just down for something entirely new removed from all of that baggage.

I think I used to think I was into all that stuff cause I was obsessed with Takahashi and Monolith but now that autism has gone I'm not really into any of it as much as I used to be. It all feels like watered down concepts that were better done in Xenosaga and they feel like third attempts which feel even less as good with even shittier names

The name Klaus sucks compared to something like Wilhelm.

The name Conduit sucks compared to Zohar.

The names Blades suck compared to the name Realians.

You feel me?

extremely autistic of you to think the names is any way an issue here. Anyway....putting that aside, I think the next Xenoblade is going to be X-2 as I posted here >>716522130. I think after that Monolith will do either Xenoblade 4 or a new IP.

Xenoblade 4 will likely take place in the future of the re-united world we see at the end of Future Redeemed, it won't be entirely removed from everything story wise, but I do hope it will be distant enough to effectively be a fresh start. Like 1-3 could be seen as it's own thing that happened in the past of the setting but is relatively self contained, like the Hobbit, while Xenoblade 4+ could be the start of a new saga in the setting of that world.

Another thing is the lack of consistent tone or setting in each Xenoblade. You'll get sci-fi with things like Mechon, Monads mixed in with goofy fantasy shit like Bunnits and names like Bionis and Mechonis. It's all feels like a messy clash of different styles rather than one strong uniform setting like in Xenosaga.

X is interesting to start off with because there is something about the planet. And while Xenoblade 2 was made to tie into 1, 3 was made not just to continue the stories of 1 and 2 but also specifically to give us a glimpse of what that something about that planet in X was. It's absolutely brilliant long term storytelling.

All 3 games should be played with JP voices. Playing in English is asking to ruin the game for yourself.

People act like 1's dub is some masterwork, but it's only "acceptable". For it's time that was probably pretty good, but with the JP voices option now, there's no reason to choose it at all.

Every Xenoblade just feels like a stepping stone and once it's finished Monolith just move on.

Takahashi doesn't create these characters. His anime writers do as a job not as a passion.

1 and 3 have excellent amazing dubs that I would say are even better than the sub.
2's dub is a tragedy, sometimes some characters have stellar delivery, but most often they miss the mark and the lip sync is bad too. The dub for this one was rushed and actors weren't given context for their scenes.
X's dub is generic and bland, but inoffensive. X's story isn't particularly good and very few scenes have any sense of drama (most of it is characters standing around a briefing table and talking), so it's less of an issue here.

I hate that Xenoblade's overarching story feels like it's being written along the way and just adding things on top instead of having a plan of 3 games and how the story will pan out.

That's why I cant "believe" Xenoblade's characters and stories and get into them. They just feel like Monolith/Takahashi and his writers just make it up as they go along. I can't get invested in stories like that.

With Xenosaga they had an idea of a story that spanned 6 games. It didnt work out but that approach feels more genuine than the way theyve approached it with Xenoblade.

Can't get into it.

FR > Torna >>>> FC for me. The Ponspectors were cute though.

The big issue I had with Torna is that the story it didn't tell wasn't as interesting or as epic as the story we got hinted at in 2. And a lot of it didn't jive with things as we were told them in 2 (eg. Aeigshammer makes no sense now since Mythra and Malos only met at the very end).

But if you meet it on it's own merits it's still a very good story.

If you've ever seen 2001 A Space Odyssey, then the overarching plot is very much like that with The Touch of God jolting forth human progression until they are able to preform the touch themselves. Within the arch of Xenoblades 1 and 2, the Touch of God was from the Zohar/Conduit to Klaus. After 2, his creations from that were then cut off from him and the Zohar, and facing an end to their existence, preformed the Touch of God themselves in 3 and were able to live on.

I liked 3 and I think it's ridiculous how many people try pretend it's bad. Even if you think it's the worst Xenoblade game (it's not), that'd still only make it an 8/10.

Ultimately all the games are exceedingly high quality.

And when you post an image trying to claim that 3 doesn't have any levity like 1 and 2... It's a little hard to take you very seriously. Even from near the very opening scenes, when it was just the group on their own finding their way to the city, there was all kinds of comedic and lighthearted scenes. Shit, you've got Sena and Lanz doing a fucking fusion dance by the second campsite.

This is true, the worst part of the series is the halfassed attempt to tie the games together when all it does is break the stories of the individual games that would otherwise be perfectly good.

It's like how TotK leaves a sour taste in your mouth because it doesn't really gel with the story of BotW that it is ostensibly a sequel to, where if you hadn't played BotW it would have been perfectly fine on its own.

Xenoblade 3's story is particularly stupid in its connections to the other games, they literally make no sense whatsoever and it's like they didn't even try.

Yep and that's why 4chan pretty much all united against it

I think XBX port's flop pretty much klilled the series for good. Noone wants to defended it anymore.

Dragon's Dogma Pawn System for main game content but also legitimate multiplayer is there but only for instanced side missions you start from the terminal in the barracks.

I mean i didnt think the game even needed to be ported. I moved on from it ages ago after I played it and Xenoblade 2 came out. It's a good game but it's not special enough that it'd needed a port. It's not like the Switch was lacking in Xenoblade games.

They reuse and remix concepts and ideas from gears and saga, but use different names. But then there are some more overt references too, like Telos being a blade in Xenoblade 2, or Vector Industries and Dmitri Yuriev being name dropped in Xenoblade 3. There is no solid and direct meaningful connections, and the connections that are there it's unclear if they will become real connections of value, or if they are fun easter eggs for long time fans.

XB3 has possibly the worst writing I have ever seen in any medium. I don't expect good writing from vidya but this was really beyond the pale.

I think a lot of people like it. Maybe the tide is shifting but I remember posting like 5 days after release when I had beaten the game. I expressed how the game was pure trash and was immediately shouted down by a pack of gay (presumably) fanboys.

Exactly. I'm not really a fan of stories that can't decide if they want to be sequels or tell a self contained story either. It feels half arsed too, yeah.

With Xenosaga at least it stuck to its guns and carried with it the same cast and setting into the next game and was a continuation of the same story.

Xenoblade doesn't feel genuine like that. You can't tell me that during the development of Xenoblade they had a general idea of how the overarching story would play already written down and that they already had ideas of Noah and Mio etc. No, they made it up along the way. There's no real vision for the story. Just an attempt to twist it into something that tries to make sense along the way. More often than not, their stories end up weaker for it.

And thats why their games tend to be our most hated of the respective year. Just embarassing monsteroseties with awful messes of plots.

Here's a question for you boys

Genuinely, is it worth going back to XBC3? I played 1, it was great. 2 tickled my brain way more though, but 3 just felt like it wasn't anywhere near as good as 2. Is it worth it for the DLC?

Engage isn't bad mechanically. It just has a really, REALLY underbaked narrative and characters and setting.

Fates is in the same boat where mechanically it's well received. But the story is incomprehensible nonsense, with the only games worse being Sonic 06 and Metroid Other M

I made one of those posts and Xenoblade is my favourite series.

Your extreme infantilism makes you see everything as a vapid kindergarten fight though, so when people are discussing a game like adults and criticizing parts they don't like, your autistic, simple little brain thinks it means we hate the game.

I've no interest left in Xenoblade 3 or X.

I want see the next Monolith project. It's exciting cause it's the first on new and stronger hardware too. No more crusty Switch hardware.

Story
>1>2>3>X
But each game does something better than others. Overall setting and lore goes to 1, whereas character writing might go to 3 which has the most and best with N Noah Mii. X is the only game notably lower in story than others and thats cause it obviously had cuts.
Gameplay
>3=2=X>1
All are good, with 1's art system feeling dated or limited compared to the rest.
