I wasn't aware this was a game. Now post some xenoblade boobs or any boobs for that matter, I'm not picky
It's absolutely fantastic, OP. Truly one of the greatest games I've ever played. I wasn't sure what I expected when I played it, but I'm very glad I played at release and managed to avoid the big spoilers- zero chance of that these days.
It singlehandedly reignited and simultaneously extinguished my love of jrpgs because I know I'll never experience anything like it again. The quirky anime stuff simply makes it more charming and blends wonderfully with the overarching themes.
I believe the correct term you're looking for when you say "quirky anime stuff" is "cringey and obnoxious tropes".
I'm replaying it right now and it just feels so much shitter than 1. Navigating menus is clunky as frick and half of the weapon types just feel like shit to use
It still has the best music in the trilogy and I do enjoy the story but there's so many little things that just make it feel like trash
Congrats on your first jrpg!
xenoblade 2 is genuinely on the level of crono trigger or ff7
it feels like a game from 20 years ago but with a modern budget and production, it's fricking amazing
I'd agree with this, though because it came out in 2017, it didn't have the production value or star-power in its staff to get as many eyes on it.
But it's not a mistake that most of the people who play it end up falling madly in love with it by the end.
I just don't see the appeal.
The gameplay is too bloated compared to chronos
The writing is a convoluted, cringe filled mess compared to chronos
It's paced terribly, compared to Chrono.
Honestly did you even play both of them?
Personally, I would argue that the Mario RPGs are far superior. For starters, all of their special attacks are more interactive. They're not movies.
bold to assume tendies played other games
>writing is a convoluted, cringe filled mess
Its extremely straight forward
>Mythra slaps me and abuses me because it's supposed to be quirky
>I can't violently beat the stuffing out of her until she learns to drop the tsundere act
Disappointing. the game instead drags me through a boring plot where they try to *gags* develop her character like a movie.
Okay but that isn't convoluted
The game is about forcing the player to be a servant without agency. We're just expected to be along for the ride and the reasoning is "um, revenge is like bad or something".
Every Xeno game is like this, come to think of it.
Did you even play the game? There's very clearly reasoning for pretty much everything
>I have to spare and forgive Metal Face for slaughtering Fiora and Colony 9 because killing homs is.... LE BAD!
>i have to immediately and instantly forgive Egil for enjoying the torture of homs and slaughtering thousands because he was a good boy who thought he was doing good
>I have to forgive Dickson for helping Zanza mastermind everything, and not even being sorry, but when he has his last monologue, I'm supposed to feel emotional or some bullshit
Not like the others are any better.
Again that isn't convoluted, are you aware of what that word means?
Then let me use another word, how about moronic? Or maybe poorly written? Or maybe emotionally tonedeaf?
Sure that works
No fan of Xenoblade 2 has actually played any real amount of other games, anon.
I think it's better than Final Fantasy VII but then again, I think FFVII is overrated.
It finally aged out. After 25 years I didn’t enjoy my last run. I always thought snes games were over rated but they are so smooth with a good UI, past two years I’ve been enjoying those classics over the late 90’s kings on the PS1 and N64. Xenogears is unplayable by todays standards.
I agree
And it's going to be among the last of the modern JRPGs that still feels like a JRPG.
kekkkk
Play more games
Great game...if you like anime. It's basically that feeling of waking up to watch Saturday morning cartoons, in video game form.
Agreed
It delivers on the promise of JRPGs of mixing Japanese sensibilities around style or tone or character archetypes with the narrative immersion and investment of Role Playing Games as an artistic medium.
Xenoblade, DQ and Yakuza are the only titles that consistently give me that feeling
I guess Persona too but I have other issues with Persona
>i'm in my early 20s. I heckin love shounen anime.. I have barely played any other games in the genre because i am in my early 20s.
Yes Timmy, we know.
So it's like staring at a screen and not interacting at all? Great...
But anon, don't you like sidequests that are nothing but dialogue boxes and cutscenes? Who needs gameplay?
Let's be honest you and everyone in this entire thread saw boobs or ass and had their first neuron activation, you didn't give a shit about the game just that you could jerk off to it. Thinly disguised coomer thread number 8488593939477474783884
WAY too cinematic. There's just no gameplay, very hard to get into it. It doesn't help that I despise anime and coombait.
I'd rate XBC2 if the middle didn't fricking drag so fricking much.
From Chapter 7 onward it's pure kino but Chapter 4-6 fricking sucked
I quite liked the middle chapters myself.
I like how 4's latter half is something between a mystery story and mecha homage
5's story is a nice leisurely detour to Rex's village through a semi-tropical environment and then you get to go to the Vatican which is comfy in its own way.
Chapter 6 is neat because of how you have a whole goofy political thriller contained in Indol, and then you go off to Tantal which is where the end-game gets set-up
I think Xenoblade excels at that contrast of tones and pacing to let the fast-paced, hard-hitting and tense moments hit harder. One of the issues I had with the recent FFXVI is that there's really only 1 moment of downtime in the whole game when you go to see Uncle Byron and the rest of the game is just non-stop tension
I think that's fine but I felt like by adding a lot of these elements, at some point the story began to feel like it was unraveling before me just before they decided to tighten it up at the end by introducing stakes. I haven't played it since 2018 but I still remember those middle chapters being the longest in the terms of gameplay time, so I don't think that helps all that much in it's favor. I frankly just wasn't that interested in the story until Pyra/Mythra got separated from Rex and Nia had to step in as his Blade.
The middle chapters are long mainly due to introducing 3 open zones (Letheria, Mor Ardain and Tantal) so you get a lot to do in terms of side quests too.
The last few chapters are very linear, so they tend to go by quickly since you're liable to knock them out in quick succession
>From Chapter 7 onward it's pure kino but Chapter 4-6 fricking sucked
I took a break from the game because of Chapter 6. It just killed any motivation I had to keep on playing.
For me it's Xenoblade 1 and X, but 2 was really good too. I hope the next entry captures the magic again, I like that they try something different every time but 3's exploring a dead stagnant world wasn't my idea of a fun time.
how easy is x to emulate on the steam deck
I really need to play that
I don't have a deck to test, but I've seen a lot of people saying BotW on Cemu runs perfectly on it. Xenoblade X works really well on Cemu so I don't think you'll have any major issues.
It's like a 26 episode shonen
Not here to stir the pot or judge because to me, all the Xenoblade games are special and rank among some of my favorite JRPGs of all time.
Just wanted to say, I've never had characters touch what felt like my emotions, heart, and soul quite like Noah and Mio. I was moved by their words and actions. I've never had that happen to me with a video game before, and I've played a lot of good fricking games but these two.. lasting impression.
Literally fricking how? This game is slip through and through, it’s just polished visually a frick ton
I felt that until they completely dropped it after the chapter 5 cutscene
god 3 pisses me off why was it so disappointing
Yeah this game touched me… with me feeling like I wanted a refund LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO GET FRICKED RIDES GO BACK TO ENEL’S DISCORD
The frick is Enel's discord?
Do we have a Barry situation but with 3 now? Frick me.
Going by his tone, I'd say he's the schizo himself. He's got that unhinged inflection.
I do think Noah and Mio are probably my favorite couple in gaming. More than Cloud and Tifa/Aerith or Geralt and Triss/Yennefer or even Tidus and Yuna.
Mother 3 did this to me. The final boss fight in Mother 3 is my favorite moment in gaming and I'm shocked such a great and amazing scene was done in a basically 16 bit game. Noah and Mio are great and I get it. I love XC3 but I understand why people were underwhelmed with it compared to the other XC games, but I loved it too
I like xc3's ending more than 2.
It actually respects your emotions instead of killing Pyra and Mythra, showing you a montage of them with sad music, only to bring them back to life post credits.
Even worse
>Shows you her true form
>She is in all ways better than Pyra or Mythra
>It's also a representation of her accepting who she really is
>But the game doesn't bring her back, it just leaves you with two girls with terrible personality issues
I feel fricking cheated
Both halves have accepted themselves, and Rex has two girls instead of one, but also ended up with a third with Nia entering the mix.
Just leave the schizo morons dead and I'll take the cat. God those two suck so fricking much.
I just enjoyed the shitstorm, and I was also happy for Rex like I would be happy for a friend who had everything line up well at the very end.
And I on the other hand didn't. It felt less like a shitstorm and more like getting dragged around by the balls. It wasn't that fun of an adventure, everyone had brain damage, and Rex especially should have been checked for brain damage.
I'm talking about the shitstorm on Ganker, and who has more fun than people with brain damage surrounded by big breasts and ass?
I mean fun for him, sure. But I could not for the life of me get as invested in Rex as I could in Shulk.
In all seriousness, I do agree. I never could get into Rex, but I was happy it worked out for him like I would be happy for a friend. Looking at Pyra and Mythra and a few other blades did keep me going. The game itself dwelt on the extremes between having me on the edge to me trying not to die from cringe. I think that's why it was a success, because it's not a like/dislike thing but a love/hate thing- so that everybody has a strong opinion about it.
As for story, I was more into XCI. I liked Melia's character more than Fiora's, but I get why it went down like it did. I also hope the voice actors had a lot of fun voicing the Faces, because I know I would have.
I just imagine Z was watching 2 Girls 1 Cup on repeat while the cutscenes weren't on him
Actually, 3 sorta does this thing. Melia and Nia have this speech about the world reuniting again and being able to walk together again only to have the DLC outright confirming it.
Enel’s discord feeling ironic today
>Friend tells me to play XBC
>Never played the games and have somehow avoided spoilers so far
>It's a fricking phenomenal game despite being a retelling of FFX
>Get to XBC2
>Get a warning from my friend telling me to IMMEDIATELY turn my brain off for maximum enjoyment and to not at any point expect XBC
>Game is filled with gashapon waifus
>Everyone is comic relief
>Main girl is somehow more bland than Fiora
>The tone is all over the goddamn place
>The story rarely hits the depths that XBC did
>It's one and only saving grace are some standout characters when most are just "alright" at best
>Tropes in and out the fricking ass
>Emo Kai Leng being intolerable for 95% of the game
>Entire plot of the game is based on people being absolutely fricking moronic half the time or just stupidly irrational the other half
Jesus fricking christ, no wonder Ontos pissed off to the other universe. Not saying XBC2 is trash, because it's a good game. It's just that for everything interesting it did to build on XBC, the quality of the story and characters got fricking TANKED and I have zero clue as to why people would think it's better than the first.
Zeke best character btw. Love that goober.
>It's a fricking phenomenal game despite being a retelling of FFX
Picrel.
On the note of XB2, I think the environments and music were my favorite thing of it. The sad thing is that I couldn’t handle the English VA at all, had to go to JP immediately. Took me years to even do the DLC.
Hope you enjoyed XB3 tho. The voice direction improvement was really huge. I was always explaining here why XB2’s dub was ass, cause it didn’t have Mark Healy directing it, and I was really pleased to see his name in the opening credits.
>On the note of XB2, I think the environments and music were my favorite thing of it.
Definitely agree on this. I have zero complaints about the world design. And the dub made me cringe at times, but it was serviceable enough and the welsh cat and scottish sexo made it bearable for me.
>picrel
Really glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. Not complaining either though as XBC feels like a proper journey and even if it's hitting similar notes to FFX, it's hitting the best ones.
None of them are similar except for Auron and Dunban is also similar to Citan from Xenogears which did the samurai mentor character before FFX did.
The sound of fingers snapping can be heard cutting through the disturbing silence in Enel’s Discord
The lights flicker on, brightening the room immediately
Lined up are two men
Their names are Enel and Abarax
Their bodies show signs of intense beatings
They are chained in place
Across from them is a curtained stage
The curtains open revealing none other the doll flight module creator herself
Lin Lee Koo walks up to the mic placed on stage
"Greetings my loyal subjects! You've been brought here tonight to witness a very special show! Welcome to-"
Lin claps her hands together
Behind her lights reveal a group of buff, black men in skintight speedos
The men are appropriately well endowed
"This is the NLA Nutting Night!"
Lin undresses herself, revealing her tight young mimeosome body
The black men become instantly erect, their speedos burst at the seams unable to contain their massive members
Lin drops to her knees and begins servicing their wieners immediately
Her technique is unmatched, she's easily able to take them all to the hilt
Enel starts sobbing, but is so turned on he is unable to look away
And Abarax starts thrashing wildly to little effect, as he is far too weak to ever break the chains shackling him
However, both ejaculate so much their pants end up becoming balloons in a short amount of time
The night goes on for what feels like an eternity to them, as their beloved inventor continues to take loads upon loads of their hot spunk into her barely developed mimeosome pussy
They conclude their depraved orgy with a bukkake session fitting of royalty
Lin picks up the mic
"I hope you boys enjoyed the show! Elma! Rook! Execute them!"
Elma and the protagonist obey without question, with a ether blossom dance that instantly puts an end to her once biggest fans
Their suffering has ended
Enel’s definitely hiding something
Enel? Pedo
Imagine having enel message you randomly saying “just so you know I sexted you CONSENSUALLY right?”
Yup. It’s Enel’s discord.
They’re working overtime since one of their pillars, chuggaconroy, got outed as a foot loving pedo.
He is not a foot loving pedo, you worthless moron. He literally came out with a doc a few days ago
Lies. Proof?
homie how the frick is cyber rape a thing just turn off your computer and walk away
Wasn’t a fan, but the voice acting was top notch and may never be beat. I miss the cat girl voice memes.
imagine making a thread with an underlying plan to just sperg out about a literal who eceleb
Abarax you fricking loser g
Fantastic music. Everything else is pretty bad. I got to the last boss and just dropped it. I could not force myself to care any more.
This.
Tons of good music to choose but this is the quintessential JRPG comfy town music
is it actually good though or is this nintendo baby's first jrpg
Way too much time spent in cutscenes. Wouldn't recommend it.
It is a fricking atrocious game. The combat is essentially single player MMO-tier garbage. The writing is extremely cringey, even for anime standards, and it is topped off with a gigantic exposition dump right at the end. The kind of shit you should never do.
Throughout you are required to use field skills to advance which requires you to get the correct gacha minions, which is dumb as frick. It is one of the most frustrating and shitty games I've had the displeasure of finishing. I honestly don't even know what compelled me to play the whole thing. It's fricking trash.
7/10, give or take a point on how much you cringe to shonen dialogue/plot. That’s the biggest decider.
My favorite game, make of that what you will
the later and don´t let anyone gaslight you
it's good, ignore
because he shitposts with that webm (and others) all the time:
https://arch.b4k.co/v/search/image/r1iwfwvAVLDABQs7c5az0Q/
What's shitposting about it?
I want to enjoy it, i really do, i picked it up again recently and then i met Ahkos again and groaned from the deviantart cliches, and they try play it as serious despite being so stupid.
>Heh, all according to my calculations, kid!
>THE SPEED OF LIGHT... IS TOO SLOW
>M-masaka he's just too fast!
Malos and Mikhail were the only villains I could tolerate on screen.
I just replayed Xenoblade 2 and Torna for the eighth time, I believe, and loved every moment of it.
There's a lot ot love about 1 too.
I spent the most time playing 3, but I don't think I actually like it.
The biggest shame of Xenoblade 2 discourse is no one talks how awesome Malos is. He's a jock in a fricking weeb as hell JRPG and his only real motivation is to pick fights with the strongest.
Love that homie like you wouldn't believe.
>his only real motivation is to pick fights with the strongest
did you even play the game
He has always been our guy. I just hope Takahashi doesn’t frick him up in Xenoblade 4.
It is really good. One of the best games I've played in the last decade. It's a fun adventure and it's really well made to. Can't believe they were able to throw together a masterpiece like this only two years after XCX, which is also great.
I love xenoblade chronicles 2. I've also never watched an anime or read a manga. Wonder if that's why I like the game so much since I don't know anime tropes or anything. It was just a fun filled time for me
Play more games
I love the game but man is Rex's default design fricking awful.
Gacha was the dumbest fricking idea possible and the fact that I got what was probably the worst possible rolls throughout the game significantly hampered my enjoyment and gimped the gameplay massively until I gave in and used the DLC blades, which were so broken they made the game a cakewalk until the post-game challenge battles, and even then most of them were easy.
Gacha was botw's fault
There were supposed to be quests and shit for everyone
It's so magically autistic and moronic that I'm not surprised that you wound up liking it.
kek, moron doesn’t get the game. You sound idiotic Anon.
Oh I get it. It's a moronic shonen that's only liked because it's on Nintendo and it has a good composer. I've 100% the game and I've since sworn off the series because I've never seen such an intensely moronic JRPG before this one.
If this wasn't Nintendo exclusive it would have gotten ripped to shreds for how bad it is.
That's kinda sad.
xenoblade 2 definitive edition when
AWRIGHT ILL PLAY YOUR GAY LITTLE GAME GAWL
2 > X > 1 > 3
You anons know I'm right.
This game is simply made out of pure sovl. You just can feel that the developers expressed their soul in their work. They put in in this game what they find fun and what they love. Everything Poppi is a testament to that, for example, but that's just a little excerpt. They put in the game what personally brings smile on their own faces. And it wasn't limited to the director, it's the entire team. You just FEEL their heart through your pad. For the non-underage down there, you know those numerous fricking boring office meetings? No such case here, you just know how much fun they had in those numerous project meetings, picking up what will be implemented the game the game. They had a blast making the game, and they simply didn't make a product, no, they made something they love, and it shows. Any true gamer can feel it pad in their hands.
