>xenobros
who? Gankerredditeratrannies are xenobros now? Oh no what a surprise who could have seen this coming? Now seethe dickless trannies as I feed off of your suffering. You will forever seethe and Xenoblade 2 will forever keep on winning.
I do hope all the games see some healthy legs
I'm very happy to see DE manage a continuous 200k in 2021 and 2022.
Hopefully 3 manages to reach 2 million before the Switch life cycle ends. I'll be VERY happy if 2 hits 3 million
I'd play the shit out of a game with the Torna squad as MCs.
There's barely any stock for Xenoblade 2, so they want to get all the money they can from a person wanting physical copy.
You're a fricking mind broken, obsessed, autistic fanboy.
No one wants you among Xenoblade fans
only trannies like you care about who wants who in what community. You are the one mindbroken by the facts not me. Your wanting, dilation or troonymunity doesnt change any of the facts. Now seethe.
Don't you have some other thread to shit up today, Eric?
I mean, Xenoblade 2 has a LOT of issues, and I vastly prefer XC3's main party with their interactions and all, but the fact of the matter is that XC2 is the better game and XC3 brings nothing new to the table and IN FACT is a pointless sequel that kinda makes the universe as a whole worse.
Also, the cloud sea was just fricking kino.
I used to think this but for XB2. I still do to some extent.
It was an ok game, but it didn't bring anything new except being a worse iterative sequel to XB1. At least XBX felt like a real evolution to the series, even if that game is flawed as frick.
I guess people just prefer whatever game they played first, and most started with 2.
This i think just like you. I'm still mad that we lost character customization wih equipments and gems over gay accessories in xc2
>XB3 was so bad it retroactively made XB1 and XB2 worse
Are there any other sequels that fricked up this bad?
People said the same thing about XB2
Fire Emblem has decent number of mediocre follow-ups that miss why people liked what they’re attempting to iterate on. It’s usually a result of trying to create exactly what the fans seem to be telling you they want, or trying to create something so subversive that it feels like it’s mocking you for even liking what came before.
XB3 is literally the developers insultinng you for liking XB2. I'm surprised they didnt write a scene where the characters turn to the camera and broke the 4th wall calling people who liked XB2 manbabies.
They literally gave Rex a harem. If they thought you were manbabies, they would've never done that.
But that's exactly why. Pandering to their loser fans of him.
Eh? I’d say it’s more shitting on 1, given the rewriting of Alvis to make more quickly-forgotten FotM waifus, how Shulk’s impact on the future feels like such a footnote compared to how much it sucks Rex’s dick and makes him the bar-none best character in the DLC, and how Melia’s existence is just to be the eternally miserable one.
>Melia’s existence is just to be the eternally miserable one.
That's based though, I love Melia but I also love seeing women suffer
>Melia’s existence is just to be the eternally miserable one.
based
The scene that "fixed" is literally from XC3, you moronic troony. In XC2 Rex was literal cuckbait. If it wasn't for XC3 Rex would be having BBC NTR shit released on Comiket to this day.
>中古, which means those are USED copies
>Xenoblade 2 was undershipped as XBC was still an unproven franchise creating a lot of demand for used physical copies
Waow, stop the presses, you obsessed Black person
But Ganker told me XC2 fans don't shitpost and incite flamewars
Low IQ coomers outnumber more intelligent people who value good gameplay and writing, what else is new
All 3 games sold well on the switch
>1-2mil out of 130mil consoles
it's one of the biggest bomba of last years
Guess Xeno 2 is a flop too dumbass
Indeed, given the 130mil installed base any nintendo game under 10mil underperforms, under 5mil is a flop, under 2mil is a resounding distaster
X is truly wonderful, i hate anime Black person games usually but damn x is extremely solid
2>1=X>3
not sure what's his pet peeve with symphonia 2 is but ok
I know it's a controversial take but I sincerely wish that they explored X's design in sequel's. Going back to the XB1 confined system in XB2/3 really sucked
Abyss is the better Tales, bro.
Only Black folk like Abyss because they relate to a dindu nuffin like Luke.
Abyss has better characters, more interesting character designs, and better (or, at least, less melodramatic) story.
Symphonia is the better game (larger amount of collectibles, optional/secret/missable events and cutscenes, varied routing).
That being said, most Tales games are the same basic story about xenophobia, eternally retold.
DOTNW was good
Who the frick is spaceman and why should I listen to him?
Source: I made it up
No brand new Xenoblade 2 physical copies were cheap lol
They weren’t even abatable 1 year after the game’s release. Nintendo under printed XC2 very hard.
Exactly. People were even complaining how expensive Torna was for a DLC until we got it and admitted that it was worth that price point.
Yes, and it still sold so well. In fact, most XC3 sales came from the goodwill XC2 left and the fear that getting a physical copy down the line would be just as hard.
Well, yeah. That's how creating a fanbase works. Majority of people buying Xenoblade 2 on launch were Xenoblade 1 fans.
Not quite, XC2 sold mostly on anime breasts but people stayed for the balls to the wall world building. 3 failed to deliver both of those things.
Imagine rating Symphonia 1 so high while 2 so low when it plays better.
Who?
X becomes a 10 in second playthrough when you know to not make ares90 because it steals 50-100 hours of your endgame progression and playtime.
I haven't played X (and probably wont until it's 'remaster' or hd release or whateverthefrick), gimme some details on that shit.
X is one of the grindiest games you will ever play for endgame shit. It'll take you 20+ hours of grinding MMO tier mooks in some tiny ass cave tucked away in sylvalum to make a couple of decent augments.
Or you can grind a bug in a huge flower for tickets which let you grind an "online" boss to break its parts over and over for tickets which can be exchanged for whatever grindable item you need to trade in for equipment/augments.
Anyone who actually wants to put themselves through that kinda shit is a moron elitistic b***h trying to make themselves look good for playing a game not many others have played. XCX is fine but it's hugely flawed in many ways.
I'm glad to have played it on CEMU so I could just give myself all the cool looking shit instead of farming like a asiatic for hours on end
I loved X but damn, Skell battles are so fricking bad and yet Skell are really fun to control. What a waste
It was so stupid to me that the skells inexplicably start hovering as battle starts despite having movement animations to walk around, even before you get the flight module. It was so lazy. The game needs a remake, not a port.
I like Xenoblade Chronicle the best in the series but anyone calling it a 10/10 masterpiece is frickin high
This is who you agree with, by the way.
>Yuzuriha is there, of course
I fricking hate this Black person. I will never see his videos.
A Black person AND a homosexual.
Incredible.
you know when someone seethes about 2 they're a wokoid troonyhomosexual of some sort
I agree with most of this but
>Symphonia
>Masterpiece
huh? Abyss and Vesperia were better in every single way.
>captain astronaut
Frick off homosexual
2,480 dollars is still a lot of money.
That's Yen not dollars
That's still a lot of money.
Thirdies btfo
Thats a serbian dinar moron
Xenoblade 2 was dirt cheap until the Smash Bros announcement
cope
It was dirt cheap. The collectors edition was rotting on the shelf at my local Target for months and it was only $20. No one wanted that shit
>States a fact
>Muh cope
You poor moron lol
local hard off Black person still selling it for ~4000en
>entire series gets outsold by ff16 in one week
>somehow tendies want you to believe ff16 is a massive flop and xenoblade is a sales darling
It’s over
Ff16 likely had a 10 times bigger budget than the xeno games
Cope
didnt FF used to be a console seller, what happened to the series, it fell off hard
only FF7 came close, but no it never was a console seller
13 was dogshit and 15 killed any lingering goodwill the series had. It's considered a series well past it's prime now.
14 has unironically bought them so much goodwill it's insane.
It did but I don't think most 14 fans really care about mainline these days (I don't think anyone really cares about mainline these days though.)
>entire series gets outsold by ff16 in one week
wrong
see
Xenoblade 3 sold 520k
ff16 hasnt even sold 420k
>entire series gets outsold by one of the three normalgay (J)RPG franchises
No fricking duh, moron. That's like being surprised that Scarlet and Violet outsold every Shin Megami Tenshi game (including Persona)/
Didn't FF16 get outsold by Pick Men?
Both a dung but final fantasy clearly cost a lot more make. It's like SMTV, high cost and low sales
>SMTV
>high cost
LMAO, Atlus has been reusing the same shitty modes again and again.
New demons will be reused in Persona 6.
And the cute squid game outsold FF16 3x over in two separate entries on the Switch.
Dragon Quest Treasures which released in december 2022 is down to ¥1,394 on Amazon
>look at this random other game
huh? you lost bro?
lul
You really should try to catch the interest of every jrpg fan, not just the ones that played XC on the Wii
they did with 2 but then nintendo and monolithsoft decided to drink the esg and resetera troony cum and came up with 3
>they did with 2
They didn't, the courted a largely different fanbase from the ones who liked 1. Not to say there wasn't some overlap but let's not be intellectually disingenuous here. Pyra and Mythra catered a larger group of otakus and coomers than showed up for XB1 on the Wii or 3DS. Their presence, particularly in the marketing, was a bit like this game's equivalent of FF7's FMV cutscenes.
3 lacking a bit of that sex appeal punch in its marketing is probably at least part of the reason it's not doing as well but clearly that's what the team wanted given the more dour narrative tone
It probably has more to do with the number of copies around
After XB2, Nintendo probably printed and shipped more physical copies of DE and 3 than they did of 2 (which, as I remember, had stock shortages). More supply means you need to drop cost more to find demand.
So the reality is 2's more of a physical rarity.
Also, I'm curious what the non-sale listing price for DE and 3 are. 2's MSRP in Japan is 8,778 yen, so this shop has already slashed 2's price by about 44%
Maybe that's just to meet the voucher equivalent though
These are used copies. That's why the shop is selling them below MSRP.
It says "summer sale".
Also the performance of XC2 in handheld mode probably burned a few people
xc2 is literally selling more than other xc games, it has better legs see
And the people who bought it were disappointed with what they got
>a game that's been on the market for six years has better legs than a game that's been on the market for one
wow anon you're a genius
Is this bait or can't you read a simple table?
>Xenoblade Definitive edition release date: May, 2020
>three years old
>Xenoblade 3 release date: July 2022
>over a year old
>FFXVI release date: June 2023
>two months old
>xc3baby trying to change subject again
>comparing release dates and used game prices
>changing the subject
this is about xenoblade 3 and def flopping, not other games
cope snoy
i own your thread now
FF flopped, XC3 and XCDE flopped
this thread is about XC3 and XCDE flopping comparison to XC2
you're the one coping
>he's still coping
>YOU ARE THE ONE COPING!!!
*Copes*
People already brought FFXVI up in this thread saying that it outsold the entire Xenoblade series at once. Of course you will get hit back with discount picture after two months
>2babs being the biggest shitposters as usual
Go on, cry about your boogeymen now.
The best thing for monolith soft would be if Nintendo handed them a big ip and told them to make a sixty hour long jrpg out of it.
They make great games but the weab shit is just too much for most people to get their foot in the door. If they were more established as being a maker of quality games they'd get away with it but most people just look at the series and dismiss it because it's about a ten year old with three wives
stop using that discordtroony psyop word if you want me to take you seriously
>troony advice causes new game to be lackluster
>ackshually I told you to make a completely different troony game
Seethe troony I live to see you lie cope and seethe
meant "stop using that discordtroony psyop word if you want me to take you seriously" for
They basically already kind of do that.
Monolith Soft seem to have a bit of a "One for them, One for us" thing with Nintendo where they get the space and funding to make their own projects as long as they help with Nintendo's bigger IP.
Help with BOTW and Splatoon 2? They get to make XB2
Help with Animal Crossing? They get to make DE
Help with Splatoon 3 and TOTK? They get to make XB3.
The question is whether Monolith Soft and Takahashi would even WANT to handle something else from Nintendo.
Working on Pokemon would be hell for them, and making a JRPG based on Splatoon or Mario or Zelda wouldn't really make them happy unless they could take it where they wanted to
It doesn't even need to be a Nintendo IP. Nintendo paid for Team Ninja to make a MUA3, I don't see why they couldn't get something else from Disney like Star Wars or Pirates of the Caribbean or Xmen.
Look at how much making Spiderman games has improved Insomniac's stock. They went from being Naughty Dog's uglier little brother to being the israeliteel in sony's crown
I can't even imagine what kind of revolting life you live that you are hoping for Monolith to get assigned marvel slop to work on.
It already is marvel slop
Funny that her ancestor was white man named Matthew.
Uh oh Enelsissies.... what's our response to this???
You really think this moronic garbage is better than marvel slop? How is Xenoblade 3 not Dr Strange Multiverse tier stupid?
I think, again, some of it is how willing Monolith Soft would be to work on a pre-existing, external IP that they may not have full control over.
It would be cool and I'm sure it would be successful but I wager Takahashi and co are a bit nervous of certain things becoming TOO successful. Because then you get pigeonholed into making the super successful thing forever with no time to branch out. Excessive success can be a curse for artists and creatives
shitpost as it is, I always think about the mega64 sakaguchi video
>Nintendo paid for Team Ninja to make a MUA3
And that game had the hottest Marvel women to ever grace the screen. Funny how that works.
Seriously, they all look like they were shaped by God Himself. They even managed to make the ugly Paki Ms. Marvel super cute.
Why are sales the only thing tendies care about? It’s a defense for GameFreak and a point of criticism for everyone else, it’s all any tendie seems to care about.
You seem upset
No I’m curious why a game being massively popular has to matter. I don’t even play these games but hasn’t Xenoblade always been mega-weebshit? Seems like it’s part of its identity, why’s it need to be removed to appeal to more people? So it can sell better? Who cares about that? Nintendo has let them make 4 games now right? They must be marginally successful or accomplished enough they’re not worried about them, that’s the point sales should stop mattering.
>Xenoblade 3 flopped
>FE Engage flopped
Why do Nintendo JRPGs keep flopping lately?
Have you seen the average tendie? They hate JRPGs. Xenoblade and Fire Emblem would be massively successful on other platforms. Like 50% of the people who played these games played them through emulators.
>Xenoblade and Fire Emblem would be massively successful on other platforms.
See Star Ocean 6 and The Diofield Chronicles, dumbass beggar.
>beggar
read the full post before posting, moron
>>Like 50% of the people who played these games played them through emulators.
>50%
Bro, not even more like 10%
Amd keep coping, keep begging for Ninty to go third-party and hoped you enjoyed FFXVI*
I don't know why people keep using the term 'flopping', as if the marketers and execs are unaware of the effect of things like dating-sim aspects in FE or sex appeal in Xenoblade.
The reality is that I don't think Nintendo really cares, financially, if Xenoblade is a huge runaway success or even if they keep selling more and more copies with each entry. Monolith Soft is more valuable as a technical-art support firm than as a developer in their own right. The Xenoblade Games on the Switch have all made pretty good profits, I imagine, but they're rounding errors on the revenue/cost sheets compared to what Mario, Zelda, AC, Splatoon and Pokemon bring in annually.
Xenoblade is the passion project that Monolith Soft is promised in return for services rendered on other projects that sell orders of magnitude better
They censored/lowered target age rating for engage according to interview because they wanted kids to play engage. Bad move tbh.
Blame Kishida Fumiko for censorship. Who banned bikini from Jap anime and console games in 2022 summer.
Hey bikinichink, gonna keep ignoring this? Thought so.
Bikinischizo is a xenogay using the censored card to boycott other jrpg threads
All Xenoblade games are censored sadly on English release
The broken English makes me think bikinischizo is an actual propaganda poster employed by some chinese agency. That and the typical act of ignoring everything that completely kills his arguments.
Doubt any employee will have the schizo dedication just like the people spam Eric, enel,Barry etc. Only shills employed I think are for Capcom.
>Only shills employed I think are for Capcom
this they're so obious
Shills dont invade other threads unlike xenogays
are you referring to yourself falseflagging in other jrpg threads
Prove it. See
True
But Engage has more fanservice than 3H, or rather, has more sexualized fanservice.
True. That's why 3H is my most hated recent FE and biggest disappointment coming from 3ds games Awakening and Fates. They wanted to pander to Americans hard with 3H with old hags and ugly art style. The Black main gives it to you
Does 3H have Black? Fodlan is low fantasy setting.
Claude is a Black person in my book.
Having to include a Black person in every game just ruins it. Putting rules for what games should include ruins them. ASTRAL CHAIN for example didn't need Black folk. Xenoblade 3 party ruined by a Black person that was supposed to be red head
Is Doodoo Black person?
His design looks not a Black person so he is good.
putting white characters is pozzed by your logic too moronbro, Nintendo is mass appeal company and blacks/browns have been a big customerbase .Some american cities are already less than 30% whites.
I'm not european moron.I just don't like to see blacks because they're ugly. Putting Black folk kills mass appeal. See forspoken for example no one likes Black folk.
>a big theme of Xenoblade 2 is different races working together
>but the game's fans are racist
why do they fail to understand a game they claim to love so much?
Shaddup. At least 3H has Falcoknight, which wears miniskirt. Despite 3H is the most tame of FE series. Why does Weeb love 3H so much despite being Tame? Engage has no falcoknight. Griffinknight which male can be instead.. and Dancer is male(not bard) is big no-no. Isn't Rosado Troon like Eternity?
Hey bikinichink, what about those traps in your beloved Chinese games? I guess they're all trannies too.
3H has Falcoknight who wear no pants. Engage has Gay and ugly griffinknight instead.
And Engage has no Triangle attack of 3 cute Falcoknight waifus.
>3H was shit
>XB2 was shit
>"wtf why people no buy the sequels"
Also, smash bonus giving both games better legs
XB2 already had those legs before the Smash inclusion was even announced.
It even went out of stock and was hard to find
People kept buying Xenoblade 2 and ignored 3.
It's the same as with FromSoft back in the PS3 era:
>DeSo is a niche success (like XB1)
>DS1 is breaks the game into mainstream (like XB2)
>DS2 brings back DeSo elements and it filters nu-"fans" (like XB3)
it's just franchise fatigue. That's why Nintendo usually avoid to release two entries of the same franchise on the same console. I don't know why they didn't do that with FE and Xeno
2 still full price
And full price for all Xenoblade games was 9000 yen, you moron. At least know what you're shitposting about.
What shop is this, Yodobashi? Might pick it up if so.
Nevermind, it's written in the image. Geo online, huh.
10/10 character design
Xenoblade never had good designs anyway, so this isn't surprising.
the Mobius completely ruined what would've otherwise been a much more mature game than 1 and 2. it's fricking baffling. they're so fricking ridiculously cartoony evil. and I get that that's the point, but it just ruins it.
Damn, there's like 11 used copies of this online, did it jump a shark or something? I intend to play through it anyway because I liked DE.
https://geo-online.co.jp/store_info/sale_campaign/summersale0811.html
Heh.
wonder how much of that went to a dump after they couldnt sell it off
Isn't Xenoblade 2 out of print or some shit
>2 year old game
>already
>muh censorship
Every Monolith game from now on will be "censored" so you may as well frick off now. You were crying about the boob scale when X came out, now endlessly seething over 3. Fricking coomers are the fricking plague of this board.
Go play BG3 you'll get plenty of boobs and sex there.
Eunie could be naked and frick white guys and I still wouldn't play your shit game homosexual
Let me guess, 2 is the only game in the series you actually like
I think the series is 7/10 at best and only nintendo fanboys who don't play any other systems rate it higher.
FF is a shit overrated series that's 7/10 at best
lol mad tendie
FF will be dead in 2 games tops because it's been total shit 5/10s at best for 20 years
And you'll still be mad that xenoshit will never even outsell Tales.
>Tales
Pfffft literally hasn't had a good game since the GC. Enjoy your sloppa and gay romances
Even the shit Tales games have better gameplay than off line mmo garbage. Just ask your mom to buy you another system.
xeno has a future unlike FF
But ToTK has no woke shit. Thanks to Saudi prince buying nintendo stock. Did ToTK had Enby Humanoid?
Glad X was a flop when it came. I also made sure to shit on Takahashi wife through twitter. I remember it was cope answer about esrb or some shit lie. Lmao frick monolith and NJTHDNOA
X > 3 > 2 > 1
1 being a 8/10 game
I just want a definitive edition for X.
I'M TAPPING MY ANALOG STICK TO REPEAT THE FIRST AUTO ATTACK ANIMATION THIS GAMEPLAY BE FIRE
this is worse in 3 where you do nothing except waiting for the Keves skills to reload
wait till you find out you can mash like a moron when toppled to break out of it faster
Man, Erictroony is still seething hard
I love seeing the bikinischizo get BTFO kek. Fricking moronic china shill.
Xenoblade 3 was unironically shit
Xenoblade went the annoying Marvel route or trails games route but with less details, should have just been mecha jrpgs without connection
are the tendies shitposting in every non nintendo game thread in the room with you right now schizo
He is right you know
Prove it.
you remind me of the guy claiming only tendies spam, while defending 100 bg3 review threads in two days.
That was probably you too.
>generic seething about Nintendo
almost like this thread was made by a seething snoy 😉
>game from 2010 (soulless censored remake ver) (discounted)
>game from 2020s (soulless ESG censored slop with confusing multiverse plot) (ultra discounted)
>game from 2017 (good otaku and straight male pandering designs, good OST and a decent story, no ESG influence or censorship in the JP ver, plot is self contained and doesn't require playing all other xeno games like a lore autist to understand) (full price and is still selling)
truly a mystery
Yeah. Glad that Saudi prince suppressed ESG on nintendo by buying nintendo stock. ToTK has no woke shit. ToTK isn't a censored shit. Returning to form.
Nintendo went full ESG since 3DS/WIIu era. Pretty much all their games have to include blacks.
>what is mass appeal
There's nothing wrong with including black character tardbro
Only reason why someone should add a black carácter to a movie/game/book/tv show is as a comedic relief, cannon fodder or both
Is ToTK pozzed too? No pozzed shit on ToTK. No Enby Humanoid and no unisex design in Tears of the Kingdom. Despite Princess is ugly and Hero is a twink who has girl's name, Zelda.
BOTW and TOTK are pozzed. You can see the fat princess and ugly females but then again I never been a zelda fan so I can't tell.
TotK literally confirms that Zelda bloodline was born from a Black person and anthro space goat having sex
Why is 3H praised as Best weeb game despite having the most tame design from FE(including Famicon and GBA)? No one says 3H "censored shit"...
>3H praised as Best weeb game
It's not weeb game the ones that like that piece of shit most likely hate fanservice/jrpgs/young females. 3H is ugly game for americans. Has nothing to do with weebs it's normalgay mass pandering slop even the dragon e-girl is old woman and not e-girl
Why does Korean weebs love this? I thought Koreans as anti woke? I thought Koreans hate LGBT...
>Koreans
Fat women and old hag lovers
No e-girl allowed
Biggest american wiener suckers
All their comic is NTR shit
>Biggest american wiener suckers
>All their comic is NTR shit
explains a lot of interracial ntr
Funny, because there's way more vanilla porn than NTR stuff for XC2
At least 3H has Falcoknight with no pants and Triangle attack of Falcoknight waifus. But Engage replaced this as gay Griffon knight and No triangle attack.
Awakening and Fates were peak fanservice. 3H killed everything with american pandering. We're now in worst times for fanservice games. Everything is censored or toned down and I don't know if this shit will change. While western games
can have sex scenes and gore but japs are cucked to release good looking females and sexy young girls. Maybe for the best I won't have to waste money.
Blame Prime minister, Kishida Fumiko for banning bikini from Jap anime and console games since 2022 summer.(Jap gacha gets pass for being irrelevant according to Nakaido).
Biden didn't ban bikini.
is this official law?
Maybe New law on AV which banned porn from Japan. And Kishida themself is a feminist. So they gave anime studio and game devs a pressure. Kishida is just like Turaga Dume. The evil turaga who mocked and accused toa for failing his test, and trapped all Matorans inside the strange capsule, and oppressed matorans with Vahkis.
>law on AV which banned porn from Japan.
What!? That would cause an uproar even across the ocean. Why aren’t japs up in arms?
Because of their short history,Japan ahve no belief,tradition and Japs don't know what freedom is. They are just some swarm of Lemmings and Zombies.
Unlike Korea and China with 5K+ years of history, belief and tradition. They love freedom. Korea has kicked away a president. Convict 503 who made Servant of Evil drama in reallife by Choi gate.
>Japan ahve no belief,tradition and Japs don't know what freedom is
You sure? They never turned red because someone decapitated the leader of the workers party, nobody in America the so called land of freedom has done something so based. Also, you want to paint the chinks as people with beliefs?
Korea has Kicked the president away. Koreans love freedom and has belief.
>Koreans love freedom
On one hand their gun policies are based but let’s not pretend those are not there just because they have China and best Korea are so close. On the other hand, THEY WERE BEING KILLED BY A PROPER FEMINIST TERROR REGIME AND IT TOOK THEM MORE THAN A DECADE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Anon this whole reply chain you've been talking to a schizo propaganda plant... none of those things he said are true, there's no ban on bikinis
>Jap gacha gets pass for being irrelevant according to Nakaido
More like they knew they would get many suicide bombers if they did. But that’s a frog they will boil another day.
Fricking moron homosexual.
Frick Kishdia for banning bikini from Jap console games since 2022 summer. Even Korea and China censors less than Japan now.
China has a huuge homosexual problem derived from their one child policy that they HAVE to fix no matter what if they want to keep being a nation 20 years from now and Korea had to rise in arms to push the feminist back and only AFTER they noticed that they were no so secretly killing 1 out of 3 male children.
Shit's fricked but in defierent ways
At least Korean webtoon allows pantyshot unlike Jap anime and console games.
Yeah but Korean designs suck compared to Japanese ones. I find them only bearable in their porn comics where being super generic is okay. Maybe they’d be based if they get over that. Chinks are just a lost cause. I agree with the other dude, there’s some weird like homosexual frustration with chinks.
>Awakening and Fates were peak fanservice
God I'll never forget the ASMR sessions with Xander in Japanese when you marry him and you see him in the treehouse. God bless Konishi Katsuyuki, I'm glad he also voices Hubert in 3H.
Where is that? Does the jap version allow for English options?
Those are some really cheap Nintendo games.
Even 2 is $50, why do only japs get discounts?
Japs have a good used market and they have cheap re releases versions. Games that fail gets discounted quickly unlike western market. Also most nintendo games that hod price big time are mario, zelda and normal gay ones.
>unlike western market
You wot m8, israeliteslop is at $15 tops 1 month after release.
Also, my shithole 3rd world country has a strong second hand market, but nintendo games are the only ones that retain full value.
Why do people on this site try so hard to have infighting within a franchise by trying to pit particular entries against each other? I see it all the time in Final Fantasy threads as well.
Is it that uncommon to enjoy all the Xenoblade Chronicles games?
Every game has their own community and have reasons to hate other entries.
XC1 fans hate XC2 for retconning it to be some in pocket universe.
XC2 hate XC1 because it's not a real Xenoblade game, thus why it barely feels like a Xenoblade entry.
XC3 fans hate XC1 for being boring and XC2 for having awful designs.
XC1 & XC2 fans hate XC3 for essentially destroying everything for the sake of shitty writing.
> all these made up narratives to divide a fanbase
its not like this isn't the case with some people but these opinions are not really held and usually used for shitposting. I've been in tons of xeno threads and its funny the further from release and real gameplay discussion the threads got the more you see these "opinions", at least with coomers you get good art but trhis fake rage bullshit is getting tiresome.
>XC1 & XC2 fans hate XC3 for essentially destroying everything for the sake of shitty writing.
[headcanon]
I've never seen XB1 or 2 shit on 3 for the specific reason when the actual game even gives them their cake and lets them eat it with the reset ending and the Shulk and Rex fanservice in FR
Did you miss all the people complaining about how xbc3 ruins xbc1 and xbc2 happy endings by making everyone gets fricked by the Z butthole?
No, I just never seen that said in good faith as a non-shitpost and like I said the reset ending gave them an extra golden outcome regardless.
No, the ending is vague as frick and doesn't show the characters being OK, FR ending all did was confirm the plantes did fuse but still failed to show the characters being ok which pissed off people. FRICK VAGUENESS.
I didn't get X3 because of BMWF and because I thought the designs were ugly. Played both X1 and X2 and even got the DE of 1 and enjoyed them equally, but X3 just didn't look appealing to me.
I just want the world and story of XC1 with the music of XC2 and the characters of XC3.
It's literally either one obsessed dude, or a discord group. The same people responsible for crying about "Japanese humor and coomer designs" for 6 years, followed by "XBC DE is censored because of no-baked lighting ass-cracks or non-neon red blood", and now changing tune to say "XBC2 is the best jrpg ever, XBC3 is a flop, pozzed, censorship, etc."
This homosexual been at this for the entirety of the Switch's lifespan.
Why are you defending the trashfire that is XC3?
it is a masterpiece, and everybody who dislikes it a troony
What a moronic thread
It didn't flop but it will never outsell Xenoblade 2 and this fricks the xenoblade 2 hater who has been shitposting it for six years straight.
This! Their cope it was fastest selling game and will pass Xenoblade 2 sales in no time. That wasn't true but they kept throwing the cope until sale number revealed and Xeno Black 3 isn't moving many units more than initial sales. Xeno 2 won and their only last cope is that 2 caused 3 to fail.
God i love Xeno2.
Maybe 2 is simply a better game than 3 and deserved to do better
>1,3,2
the gameplay is better in XC3, why would anyone prefer XC2's? The best designs are in XC1 and 3, which are rather sober, XC2 has anime ugu big breasts and it's just overall cringe.
XC2 has the better music, tho, i totally agree with that
why is Eunie immune from the 'anime uggu big booba' shitposting when she has the same proportions as Pyra and Mythra, what gives her a pass
She's not romantically involved with Noah and she's a foul-mouth slag.
It's always the dub fanfiction lovers...
because her game had troony pandering so all the usual troons kept quiet
This. They even retconned a previous character (Alvis) to be a troony for more ESG points.
Takahacki gives Larry Fink BJs under the table to get this game out. Thats why only trannies like XB3.
XC3 battle system is boring until the post-game challenges, wheres XC2 is so much better
>stutter stepping
>blade combos
>setting up elemental orbs for chain attack
its satisfying, wheres in XC3 all you do is wait for the cooldowns and chain attack to fill up, where you end up hearing same music and see same longass attack animations for the whole game.
>stutter stepping
>"XC3 is bad because it doesn't have this glitch from XC2!"
lmao you homosexuals are unreal
647386837
That has to be bait. Too deliberate, filename and all.
why does reddit hate monolithsoft but Ganker love them?
Ever since 2 the community has become entirely imbalanced due to coomers. Reddit has a lot less coomers.
>why does reddit hate monolithsoft
They don't
The main thing that killed interest in 3 is that from the beginning it was marketed as a sequel to both 1 and 2 which killed interest from any potential newcomers and people who only played/liked one of the previous games.
Good, let Xeno 2 be the smash Black folk game only. They can stay on 2 forever for all i care, best filter to the series.
Kek, it's funny how morons still believe 2 only keeps selling more because of Smash, when this has been the case before that even.
Even if that wasn't true xeno 2 gays will only play 2 so still is a filter. They can cry about censorship all they want and hug their pyra amiibos.
Those are used copied, you EOP.
*copies
Why can’t they understand a lot of guys bought 2 because they saw Pyra and Mythra and wanted to play it for the big ttitied waifus? Artists still love drawing the, and it’s like free marketing online. People like waifus. It literally saved Fire Emblem.
Everybody wants to break into the western market, and the west just doesn't take you seriously if your job involves sex or near-naked women.
But that's normal for jrpgs, we take them seriously despite that. In fact I'd say that the best are pleasing on a basic level while simultaneously being deep. Xenoblade 2 is an example of this
>we take them seriously despite that.
By we you mean you and I. The rest of the west certainly doesn't. Just look at fricking Tifa, the most iconic JRPG female character ever made in the most beloved JRPG, and yet they STILL felt they needed to desexualize her. It wasn't up to par for what the west wanted.
And Tifa uses censored design on Gacha too. Is Ethical department also applied on gacha too?
Lmao I love how you still reply to random posts with your broken ass English, but still refuse to engage with anything that completely disproves the moronation you spew.
Yes. It needs to be a collective effort if they want to change the IP's image.
Not my fault that among the things that sold Xeno2 for most was
>japanese humor
Their plan really backfired I guess. Dunkey, Japanese humor posters, and various other people who hate Xenoblade 2, probably convinced quite a few people to buy it
I actually like these things not joking. It's part of fanservice I like. Also the ecchi baka moments and when hikari slaps rex to start battle that was genius.
here is the problem with xeno 3
>listen to man say "we have no food"
>go to camp and choose to talk about "no food"
>smart black man comments about how not having food is bad
>lanz says he agrees
>they discuss how to get food
>"I hear plants contain food"
>"wow great idea"
>"what else has food"?
>"animals have food"
>"wow great idea"
>"alright team, lets get to collecting food since not having food is bad!"
>cutscene over, get quest to pick up 3 aubergines and kill 3 volfs
The requirement to talk around a resting spot just to progress side quests was absolutely moronic.
I don't know if this is a samegay or not but it's more moronic to NOT READ in a jrpg
Also we know that the fricking group with the exception of the Nopons have no idea how to forage or hunt which is why they had that side quest
This was also talked about in FR
>everyone who doesn't like xeno 3 is samegay!
take meds, schizo. I know what artist intent is, but artist intent doesn't mean its a good idea. As a non 9-year old child-man moron, reading hours of dialogue about kids learning basic shit is boring as frick. Maybe this is the translators fault, but the dialogue is not well written, it is super straight forward and feels like reading a tutorial about how to play the game forever. Go read any well-received real book and you'll find that nobody ever constantly narrates how common things work
its literally just you.
Criticising a game and acting like a mindbroken ape are two completely different things, you know.
No one will bat an eye if you dislike something. Just don't turn it into some sort of personal vendetta and spam threads everyday seething about it like OP.
not that anon but he is right
I read all the dialogue in this game, but 100% of the camp talk is pointless and writing is only good in several hero questslines (Triton, Ashera)
Add romance options and the game will take off even bigger than 2.
third playthrough should have pneuma as an option if you selected pyra in one and mythra in the other.
>Black folk
>censorship
>low sales
not sure why it sold poorer than X2, maybe due to covid?
ToTK is not pozzed unlike XC3 thanks to Saudi prince buying nintendo stock.
It took Xenoblade 2 over 2 years to sell 1.8M which Xenoblade 3 did in one quarter.
No, no, moron. "TotK sold poorer than BotW". It didn't outsell it on launch day which means it bombed, right? It must be because of all the censorship
Did ToTK had another Juniper? ToTK has no Humanoid Non binary.
it does
It didn't outsell BotW on release day, which means it bombed, which means it must've been pozzed.
Why did Monolith even make Juniper like that? And don’t say that it’s localizer bullshit since it’s confirmed in the code.
Dunno what your point is. Yes, TotK might not outsell BotW in the long run (seeing as TotK release caused BotW to jump in the charts too), but it's still an unquestionable success without selling 35M on launch day.
>2000$
wtf who would pay that much for a vidya
>Gacha
>Field checks
>Merc missions
>Menu surfing
The Xenoblade 2 gameplay loop truly is the colon cancer of JRPGs, it's a shame we have to pretend to like it to own the libs
are you talking about baldings gate
>field checks
what is that
He meant field skills
Shouldn't have pandered to western wokeism. Japs are way too susceptible to social pressure.
Meanwhile Xenoblade 2 is censored to hell and back in the west while 3 is not.
Not that stupid weebs whose knowledge of Japanese extends to baka and kawaii would know.
Cry about it.
Both censored names
changing names which are japanese things to make them english things is not censoring moron.
Pretty much changed meaning of character names for no reason.
Not censorship moron, though the name changes in 2 were still terrible.
All the removals of sexual dialogue in 2 is what's censorship.
They removed more than sexual dialogue. Like when nopon tells rex you're a man among men and changed because it huts feminsim. Also name change ruins it censorship or not.
It’s not even that. Too many get a taste of a success and then want to be taken seriously. If nothing else with Atlus and Persona, they know if they removed the dating sim stuff, the sales would plummet due to the waifugays dropping it.
Will Persona 3 get swimsuit censored in reload? Dame dame 8 got a pass on bikini scene despite being a Jap console game for being on Xbox.
Will you reply to the post showing Neps having bikinis in 2023 or will you keep going troony?
>8 hours ago
Frick, I slept through the latest Enel gay op
Dunno if I’d call 3 a flop. But it was disappointing dreck and didn’t give me much hope for the franchise going forward.
I really hope anons don't actually fall for bikini schizo and it's just him samegayging.
>bikini schizo
Redpill me on this, I've lost track of the named anons
Broken English, keeps going on about the Japanese PM Kishida, claims Bikinis are forbidden in Japanese games and anime (despite constant evidence to the contrary) and will also praise China and Korea. I think he appeared on Ganker relatively recently, not sure if he was active on other boards before.
>Xenoblade 3 got it's own xgay
Pottery
Biikini shizo appearance on V was mostly on blue reflection topic and Senran Kagura but not sure about other boards since I did see some speak about him.
xeno games well over 10 mill now
only jrpg series that have sold more are the pokemon, final fantasy, tales, dq, dark souls, smt. Not counting mobile.
Nintendo have gone from publishing 1 xeno game per system to 4 released on the switch. Nintendo loves xenoblade.
If XC3 sold less than XC2 doesn't this mean a lot of people who played XC2 didn't like it to the point of not giving the series a chance again? If you loved XC2 you would buy XC3 for sure even if you were skeptical about it.
But the thing is that XB2 is STILL selling, that's the big difference. 3 actually started off with bigger sales than 2, but then it didn't keep going like 2 did.
you dont have the data to support your claim
What?
are you an idiot?
XB2 has consistently sold around 250k copies each year after its release. If people were losing interest due to it being a bad game, word of mouth would have caused sales to slow down at some point, but it hasn’t. XB3’s higher initial launch is exactly because of people who played the previous games wanting to play the sequel, since both 1 and 2 were available for purchase on the switch prior to 3’s release.
where is your data saying xb3 isn't also going to sell 200k+ a year for 6 years
Currently the only data we have is the first quarter of 2023, so if we multiply that for the whole fiscal year 3 would hit around 20k copies a year. Future Redeemed could have caused a spike in sales, but unlike Torna it can’t be played separately from 3 and requires knowledge of all 3 games, so expecting that to cause people to buy 3 isn’t as likely as Torna was for 2.
Even then, as long as the switch is an active console, that’s not going to prevent 1 or 2 from selling because they’re good games and people want to play them. The only thing that would most likely kill their sales is if a new console was announced, but that would also affect 3 the same way.
I could be wrong about all of this but I don’t have high hopes for 3 having as strong legs as 1 or 2.
you don't even have 1st quarter 2023
As opposed to checking out the trailers and seeing what's the game is like? Or watching playthroughs or streams? Or even reading reviews. The idea that consumers still go in blind into a product is an outdated one.
Exactly. XC2gays are deluded homosexuals who will never frick a girl IRL, stop giving them attention.
Gamers have such a surface-level comprehension of storytelling. XC2 has a much better story than any other XC game but because of some silly anime scenes that don't amount to more than 15 minutes they genuinely think it has a worse story than the garbage story of XC3.
You do realize all Xenoblade games are written by the same guy right?
Not him, but that's a strange thing to bring up, like as if some Stephan King books weren't more shit than others.
I bring it up because XC2 fans love to suck Takahashi's dick constantly
Takahashi doesn't write the games' story by himself.
If you don't think he signs off on every plot beat then you're moronic
He's the executive director but there's a glaring difference between that and giving him full credit for the stories in these games.
It's time to accept your favorite director isn't the auteur you pretend he is
Based. He's another western pandering hack like Daisuke. Toby Fox in XB4 when, to complete the series's pozzification?
3 is tied with X for worst story, and at the very least X has the excuse of being more exploration and side-quest focused than any other Xenoblade as a trade off. 3 never has any locations that wow you, nor do you feel like some kinda Starfleet officer solving issues and creating tangible differences.
Exactly. XB3 is considered by Ganker to be among the worst pieces of fiction ever created for these reasons and more.
Seethe dickless moroneratrannies. I live to see you seethe. Your suffering is my oxygen. Dont fetch the rope so quick, wait a little and SEETHE
Erictroony, stop trying.
No that's blundergay, know your schizos.
Here is the truth, Eric is blundergay.
This shit started in the famitsu threads.
Ah, blundergay is here. Pack it up boys.
Blundergay was right about XB3 tho. Everyone in this thread that arent from Enel's discord universally agrees that it's pozzed and has no good things about it.
never stops being funny when he replies to himself
>Bikini schizo leaves
>Blundergay arrives
I hate Ganker, and yes I also didn't LOVE 3, but it obviously wasn't horrible as a game.
Why do you think those two are different people?
You can very easily tell by the style of writing.
It’s a shame, because I feel that people should be able to voice their discontent with 3. Because if there’s something you don’t want to be disappointing with your story, it’s the ending. Sad that you can’t even voice why you found it bad without that gay jumping onto it and trying to make your opinion part of his crusade.
I legit haven't bought 3 yet because I don't find the heroine to be very appealing. I wish the big boobed one was the love interest.
You boobagays already got that in the last game
It should have been Ethel, but they wanted to pander to twitter shippergays and women too. Weird direction to take when your last success was due to waifugays and weebs.
see
Meds.
Only finished 1hd and played some hours of x on wiiu. How are 2 and 3? I can tolerate the anime shit if the game is fun
More of the same with slightly different flavours. Compared to 1 of course, X is an outlier.
Read the thread. XB3 is universally hated here for many sound reasons. Many consider it worse than Saga 2 even.
It's not universally hated, it's like saying 2 was universally hated because a handful of autists were screeching for months after release that it was anime otaku coomer weeb bait and that it was less mature or interesting than XB1
A handful of vocal-minority autists screaming about a game they don't like is not the same as a game being universally hated
2 is garbage for coomers. 3 is more like 1.
3 is lacking 1's most important feature. And I'm not even blundergay or one of those morons who thinks 3 is horrible.
2 is a bit jank but fun. Leans more into the adventure tone. Stronger character writing than 1, very good world building.
The combat system in 2 is poorly explained but enjoyable to use. If I have any complaint about 2, it's that it's fun but it has a lot of underused systems that get introduced but never become important
3 is a bit of 2 and 1 combined, and it also has its own stuff going. It's tonally the most dour game in the series, but I think its actual core gameplay is the most interesting. It's using a class system to let you mix and match moves ala FF5 sort of.
That's not Xenoblade Chronicles, you fricking mentally ill weebgger.
Nobody still has anything positive to say about XB3.
It purged the coomers and make them seethe to this day. That's the most positive thing a franchise could get. All the highest selling anime franchises have next to no fanservice trash after all.
>purged coomers
>gives their protag a harem, and constantly ties things back to him, while giving XC1 fans crumbs in comparison.
3’s problem was trying to appease these people while also trying to be pseudo philosophical edgelord shit at the same time, and also trying to force 1’s lore and history in there too to top it off. It appeals to so few as a result.
Best cutscene direction/character models in the series
Best sidequests
Best party
Nia's total absolute victory
>Nia's total absolute victory
Take your worthless cumtoilet waifu and frick right off. The game’s a disappointment.
Retconning Nia into the harem was so stupid.
Almost as stupid as you convincing yourself that it happened at all.
She gets firmly friendzoned in XC2. The writers just bent the knee to her obnoxiously loud fans
>She gets firmly friendzoned in XC2.
Yes
>The writers just bent the knee to her obnoxiously loud fans
No
Yes.
>>She gets firmly friendzoned in XC2.
>Yes
So you agree it's a retcon
A retcon would require anything to have changed in 3.
>require anything to have changed in 3.
And it did.
You literally said yourself she gets friendzoned in 2
So?
Do you not know how the passage of time works?
I know that the writers just gave her obnoxiously loud fans what they wanted. That's all the thought that went into it.
I accept your troonycession.
And I've still not contradicted that. You, on the other hand, have been making a big assumption this whole time that you refuse to back up.
Because it's the only logical explanation.
There's no logic involved whatsoever. Just, as you've said multiple times "obnoxiously loud fans." And you've decided to just echo them.
There's nothing in the story that would support Nia joining Rex's harem. The writers clearly didn't care about in 2. So the only conclusion must be that they bent the knee to her annoying fans who were constantly crying about her getting cucked
You're still making assumptions. I'll try one more time.
I've said:
>a retcon requires no romance in 2, but romance in 3
>there is no retcon
>there is no romance in 2
That's a basic logical equation with three variables, and I've given you two of their values. Solve the third.
They certainly didn’t bother to write the romance at all despite having two whole games to do so. So yeah, it comes off more as wankbait for waifugays above all else.
>ending is called Boy Meets Girl with her pushing him to go for the other girl
???
It succesfully they/themified a female character, damaging Nintendo RPG localizations forever.
Seems like the people who praised XC3 for not having problematic designs didn't buy the game after all.
It should have been her
Hi, OP.
Erictroony, you are contradicting yourself again.
Me on the left.
next xenoblade will hopefully keep the coomer shit to a minimum like 1 and 3 so the series can get a chance to get its old audience back from the 2oomers

>Keeping it to a minumum

Why are people who never played any of the games always so pissed that all three games are critical and commercial successes?
How are you so sure of the fact that any one of these schizos never played the games?
I never said every salty schizo hasn't played any of them. I'm sure some of them have played 2.
Get woke go broke.
Sometimes i wonder how xenoblade threads in Ganker would have been if THAT MOTHERFRICKER didn't exists. You know who, the xbc2 hater that has been shitposting it non stop ever since the first goddamn xbc2 trailer, the same one that spammed the dancing wbem non stop for years, tried to get /qa/ to ban xbc2, spammed specific Nia images to "kill threads", used stupid terms like "the caval" "the good boys club" and always bring up that guy from twitter with a name that starts with E just to shitpost.

Man, erictroony really is seething hard

Xenoblade 3 is ultimately a boring game. Boring plot, boring world, boring setting, boring characters, boring designs, boring gameplay. Sidequests are about the only good thing.
It's honestly unbelievable how boring they managed to make a game about humanity surviving extinction through a technological ark when Takahashi has been doing sci-fi shit for decades. 13 sentinels takes the same concept and runs circles around 3's shitty plot.
the lot of you are prob to young but xc3 plot has weird similarities to the Logans Run movie.
>13 sentinels takes the same concept and runs circles around 3's shitty plot.
Based, 13 Sentinels is kino.
Game was doomed from the moment Takahashi decided he had a duty to make it a message for listless Japanese zoomers. I swear every fricking nip washed up director goes through this when they get old and it's shit every time
I'm convinced Takahashi must've really loved Persona 5 and decided to make "his own version" of it or whatever. Sena even has a line in Segiri's quest that's suspiciously similar to Ryuji's "shitty effin adults"
>Xenoblade 3 is ultimately a boring game
Not really
>13 sentinels takes the same concept and runs circles around 3's shitty plot.
?????
I'm not sure how someone with media literacy would reach that conclusion
>major theme of both games is how humanity's flaws destroyed the old worlds
>"alternate" versions of the main characters show up and play a major role in the story
>both Aionios and the simulation in 13 Sentinels are basically a "test" to see if the protagonists can avoid repeating the same mistakes that led to humanity's downfall in the past
>both games pair off the male and female characters (except 13 Sentinels actually follows through and doesn't blueball everyone else besides the main couple)
Both games hit many of the same points and 13 Sentinels executes them all far better
>are basically a "test" to see if the protagonists can avoid repeating the same mistakes that led to humanity's downfall in the past
that is absolutely not in any way what xc3 is about, are you moronic?

Yeah it is. The ending is literally about the party choosing to move forward and avoid humanity's fear of the future. And Noah's defining moment is him choosing a different path from N.

It might just be, without exaggeration, the objective worst RPG ever released. There's a reason everyone in this thread has only negative to say about it.
If it's any consolatuon, this game may have mercykilled the Xeno series for good due to how universally hated it is. Takahashi and Monolith will be relegated to working on Zelda games until they die.
>Takahashi and Monolith will be relegated to working on Zelda games until they die.
Sad way to go out. But they probably should have just made a good game instread of... the worst and most universally hated game.
>If it's any consolatuon, this game may have mercykilled the Xeno series for good due to how universally hated it is. Takahashi and Monolith will be relegated to working on Zelda games until they die.
You realize they didn't fund Xenoblade 1, X, 2 or 3 because they thought they'd make money, right? Nintendo funds these projects because they're the real recompense to Monolith Soft in return for them helping on Zelda, Splatoon and Animal Crossing.
If nintendo cared about the profits from this series, they would have axed it with Xenoblade 1 and X and we never would have gotten 2.
>You realize they didn't fund Xenoblade 1, X, 2 or 3 because they thought they'd make money, right?
Yes they did. They just don't say it outright. XB3 bombed and everyone hated it. The series is now a liability to Nintendo and it's all thanks to Takahacki wanting to jerk off horny basement dwellers as the ever so based and Chad-like

Anon, these games are rounding errors on the budget sheets next to Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing and Splatoon. That's been true since the wii days. Nintendo sees more value in Monolith Soft as an auxiliary studio and as their one hardcore RPG developer to add some variety to their catalogue. They don't need these games to be mega successes on PErsona 5 or Final Fantasy's level, they just want them to help out with their bigger projects and produce the occasional 'hardcore RPG' (in contrast with the more casual-targeting pokemon games)
>Nintendo funds these projects because [HEADCANON]
Sure showed us, BlunZ.
Would XB3's plot have been better if they didn't try and shoehorn every reference to XB1/XB2 into it and just let it be it's own thing like XCX?
Because the whole "fixing a dystopian sci-fi world" thing was really cool and comfy, would have been cool to see that slowly develop over time. Origin world reset shit not so much.
Yes, because it couldn’t decide whether it wanted to be a follow-up to 1/2 or a separate entity and as a result it fails at doing both from a storytelling perspective.
Probably. If they made 3 it’s own thing then we wouldn’t have to deal with
>melia and nia being used as a fake twist that something must have happened to change them
>a unique world that isn’t just a mishmash of 1 and 2
>not nearly as much hand waving required in the story since it’s based on an entirely new world
This is an interesting question because I've heard people say it does too many references and I've heard other people say it does too little.
I did like the aspect of fixing the immensely fricked shit in Aionios, the side quest chains were great in how they sort of explored the ways that the characters both thematically and literally had to start rebuilding a more normal society from scratch.
The city plotlines was also interesting in how it contrasted the colonies since, unlike the colonies, the City actually has a sort of self sustaining system already. But it's having similar issues growing and keeping sight of its humanity as a result of that history. I like that it ends with its own Homecoming that's considerably more positive than the ones that await the Soldiers
I can see that, there's definitely similarities in the sort of broad histories of Aionios vs 13 Sentinels' Japan.
I think that the difference for me is that the thematic point is different. There are some similar plot beats but the end goal they're used in service is distinct.
XB3 has two major themes, in my eyes: the tendency for people to hold onto the status quo and avoid change that might bring pain to themselves, and the act of reconciliation and growth after the cycle of revenge has been broken.
By comparison, 13 Sentinels is a bit more hard sci-fi for me, in that it's about the notion that humanity's worst devils won't overcome their better angels when it comes to technology. 13 Sentinels is a lot more about humanity's relationship to technology and how that intermittently brings us pain self-inflicted but ultimately helps us create a better world. XB3 is more like the Interstellar to 13 Sentinels' The Martian. XB3 is more emotion than logic or speculative sci-fi (which is funny given that XB2 was arguably more hard sci-fi thematically).
So I think that while they might use similar broad plot elements, they're in service to different narrative goals
I think what would have helped would be more if they focused less on the iconography from 1 and 2 and kept it hidden in-game more until certain moments.
Dont use Uraya and the mechonis sword as the cover art, use the ferronises
I haven't played XB3 at all and don't plan to because of how lazy the setting seems to me. I would have bought the game day 1 if it weren't for it copypasting a lot of shit from the first games. It seems like it didn't even manage to do that right either, because why is Nia the queen or wherever the frick and not Zeke, who's way more similar to Melia and who's an actual prince with political power even after being disowned in XB2?
That is the most moronic troony cope yet.
>if you don't like muh shitty game then you're a troony
lmao
>immediate back to back seethe
kek
How so? I don't even see how it's a cope since I didn't play the game, so I have no strong feelings against it besides wanting something different instead.
>why is nia the queen instead of zeke
Literally just an excuse to hide the fact that it’s a sort of simulation. If the only 2 characters you see from the previous games are the ones with a known long life span, you can safely assume a lot of time has passed.
Zeke is a blade eater in the whole game though and unless I remember it wrong it should have made his lifespan longer, it's not like Rex who stops sharing Pyra's crystal at the end of the game.
That's true, but there's two factors that would make it more difficult to use Zeke instead of Nia.
>The only confirmed long lived blade eater is Mikhail, so unlike flesh eaters Mikhail living that long could have been a fluke. Mikhail is also shown to age.
>Zeke isn't a girl. Not as popular as Nia.
>long-lived
They already confirmed it wasn’t a lifespan thing and the legacy cast members who showed up were made immortal just because with FR. So all that leaves is rather than writing something sensible, they considered jerking off the horny nerds more important.
>So all that leaves is rather than writing something sensible, they considered jerking off the horny nerds more important.
Nooooo! Takahashi is an auteur! He would never make a badly written game!
In all seriousness though, this series was fricking sabotaged as frick by these shitty nerds. XB3 is the culmination of their infestation of this series that started with XB2.
The funniest thing is that they wanna have it both ways. Being a JO series for otaku shut-ins, but also angry Japanese reproduction propaganda.
I think it's funny people assume the game is trying to pander to either group or agenda when it's probably just Takahashi making what he wanted to make at the time
>Wow, there haven't been many light-hearted adventure stories like the kind I had when I was growing up. I'll make XB2 like that
>Wow, Japanese society sure is stagnant and unwilling to let go of the status quo as the ruling class literally squeezes the youth like oranges until they Karoshi at 30. I'll make a game about that
Whatever Takahashi makes a game about next, it'll probably be whatever he's thinking about in the moment. That's how he's made games nearly all his life. Xenogears was made by him and Soraya Saga when they were falling in love at Square and, go figure, it's a game about two people falling in love and the value of a romantically fulfilling relationship.
Xenoblade 1 was made to be a sort of shonen story as well as a practice project for new hires to cut their teeth on and was trying to feel distinct from the other Xeno projects, so it arguably feels less referential to Gears and Saga than 2 or 3 are
I don't think Takahashi cares that much about whether the newest game is super popular like the previous one, he's probably just happy he gets to make them at all
>I don't think Takahashi cares that much about whether the newest game is super popular like the previous one, he's probably just happy he gets to make them at all
He'll change his tune once Nintendo inevitably cuts down their funding of Monolithsoft and they're relegated to the Zelda/Splatoon/Animal Crossing mines for the rest of their days.
>no actual response to this post
Uh oh Enelsisters.......
Erictroony, where is your response to
? 😉
>He'll change his tune once Nintendo inevitably cuts down their funding of Monolithsoft and they're relegated to the Zelda/Splatoon/Animal Crossing mines for the rest of their days.
Again, if Nintendo wanted to do that, they would have done so after XB1 on the Wii or XBX on the Wii U
They basically let Monolith Soft do what they want so long as they're able to help with the bigger projects when needed. And Monolith specifically set up the Kyoto branch and the second Tokyo team
>radio silence from Enel's discord yet again
Xenotanic 3 BTFO!
Uhhhhh XB3 sissies.... our response?
>>Zeke isn't a girl. Not as popular as Nia.
So what? Make Melia the source of fanservice for waifugays and make Zeke as shirtless and loose as in XB2 with even more jokes about his penis.
>If the only 2 characters you see from the previous games are the ones with a known long life span, you can safely assume a lot of time has passed.
That's a meta reason, not an in- universe reason. The peasants of Alrest wouldn't care about their ruler having a long lifespan, especially after how 500 y/o Amalthus turned out.
>because why is Nia the queen or wherever the frick and not Zeke
Zeke is running his own country, Morag's running hers
Agnus (or whatever nation is formed after Elysium is settled) would presumably have its own rules distinct from Tantal
>Zeke is [headcanon]
Erictroony, good job proving you have never played the game
How the frick did Nia become a queen at all?
Because uhhhhhh......... SHUT UP THIS GAME IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!
Lmao Enel's discord is so pathetic!
Because no one gave a shit while writing. XC3 was written under the mindset that if you have themes and metaphors then your story will automatically be good, and with the intent to steamroll all of the high-fantasy elements out so that Takahashi can force perfect works to be a thing as fast as possible.
Because the writers wanted it that way. That's it. That's the only reason anything in XC3 happens they way it does. Same reason all the races now have the same lifespans
>Same reason all the races now have the same lifespans
I thought that was because they were all clones and programmed to die at age 10.
They still age the same rate though. Like if High Entia still had their lifespans from 1 then Eunie would still be a child in term 10
>inb4 Origin made it work that way
And yet Origin still needs manual aging machines for some reason.
Xenoblade 3's story is a trainwreck of epic proportions. Just like every other aspect of that "game."
Enelbros gotta refute these quick, we just hit the bump limit!!!!
Are you moronic?
The clones had maniplated aging.
The clones have a hard cutoff but they don't "age faster," terms are just normal human years
Otherwise Y wouldn't need that instant aging pod for Cammuravi
they age at a pre-determined, changed rate.
Are you actually moronic?
Nothing from the actual game indicates the rate is "changed" that's just your headcanon.
They're artificial people dipshit.
Literally none of this kusoge's plot can be explained with anything but pure headcanon.
He's from Enel's discord working overtime to defend this trashpile. Disregard him.
You really can't read, can you?
If you can clone people that easily, you can change how fast they age.
So they age the same, so the term system works.
Sounds more like you snoytrannies read a comment once and didn't understand it at all
So according to your interpretation, Noah will be an adult in his 30s/40s while Eunie and Lanz are still children. Taion and Sena will also be adults, which means they can't have romantic relationships with Eunie and Lanz. And that also implies Mio will far outlive Noah and Ghondor since she has flesh eater genes.
>Literally “it just works, don’t ask questions”
>Still hasn’t answered why they need the aging machines if they’ve supposedly perfected altering how people age
.. by using the aging machines?
That would only be a problem for people after the seperation of the worlds, which we don't see.
And the cloning machines are created and controlled by Z to fit his soldiers, the consuls get the aging machines for fine tuning.
>which we don't see.
Why the hell would that matter? The characters still exist after the worlds merge.
>the consuls get the aging machines for fine tuning.
It's treated as a new invention by Y
>Why the hell would that matter? The characters still exist after the worlds merge.
Yes, so your complaint doesn't get seen ever.
Erictroony, this is very obvious in the game.
Maybe play it in the first place 😉
It doesn't get seen because the writers didn't care to address it in the story. It still exists in the universe though. Keep on making excuses for shit-tier writing (for free btw)
>It doesn't get seen because the writers didn't care to address it in the story. It still exists in the universe though.
So?
It doesn't effect the story of the game at all, we don't know how the clone bodies change after the seperation.
Your cope is moronic and doesn't make sense
The clone bodies just have a hard cutoff at term 10, they don't "age faster"
they age at a standardized rate.
>[headcanon]
Proof?
Are you? It’s getting explained to you why that can’t possibly be the case and yet it just goes right through your empty head.
>why that can’t possibly be the case and
So why?
Your cope seems to be they can't grow Ethel with the press of a button, but that only supports the changed growth rate for all clones
We see Noah, Eunie and Lanz as children in the opening and ending, outside of Aionios. Do you really want to argue that baby Lanz was in a crib in XC1? Or can you just accept the writers ignored that part of the lore because it didn't mesh with the story they wanted to tell?
Obviously Noah will not die decades/centuries before his childhood friends in the new merged world.
They're test tube babies. Their lifespans and growth rates are manipulated to make them good soldiers. There would be no reason to keep them aging like the originals.
It's like you didn't read a single word I said.
Obviously the writers didn't intend for Noah to be an old man while his childhood friends Eunie and Lanz are still teens/kids.
>literally responds to the post explaining why that excuse doesn’t work to make that excuse
Enel's discord is getting desperate as frick. We can finally conclude that this game is universally shit.
Erictroony, stop trying
>Same reason all the races now have the same lifespans
Did you not get the central premise of the game?
That is a secondhand store, those prices are for used games, it's on the sign, the green one.
T. Lived in Japan for half a decade
Did you expect snoys not to lie?
Erictroony, stop trying
What's the point of "heroes" in XC3 if you can't control them?
Why are snoys so mentally deranged and seething?
I hope xenoblade warriors becomes real.
It was way too soon for a 3. We should have gotten a X2 first before that
>It was way too soon for a 3.
5 years after 2 was an acceptable timeframe, not like Monolith Soft is like Fromsoft pumping games out every two years
>ENEL ENEL ENEL
I thought enel was only brought up whenever someone defends 2
Reminder that there is an antagonistic group in XB3 named "the conservatives."
If that isn't hard proof of how ESG-ified the game is I don't know what is.
>The sheer amount of the writers’ jobs you have to do for them to not have to admit XC3 has shitty writing
Takahashi's dickriders are truly insane.
Thread ends here. There is nothing positive to say about this trashpile's story and writing.
You can thank Enel's discord working overtime to defend this hack who is inevitably gonna lose his job due to how much of a fricking liability this series has become for Nintendo.
It definitely is the weakest story out of the 3, but at least it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger.
>How are we all alive? The lifehold was destroyed.
>It must be because of this planet…
>Don’t you find it weird that we can all understand each other despite speaking different languages?
>Huh, good point. (never addressed ever again)
X is own thing at least. 3’s hot mess is canonically tied to 1/2 forever.
>yeash XB3 has one of the worst stories in JRPG history that would put Tales of Zestiria and FFXV to shame BUT WHAT ABOUT XBX?????
Nice whataboutism Enel.
This. And it retroactively ruins the first two games!
Check this thread out, I think Enel's boys might be raiding it soon
>The sheer amount of the writers’ jobs you have to do for them to not have to admit XC3 has shitty writing
Yeah, just like how people had to bend over backwards in 2018 to convince others that Malos was actually well written instead of just 'evil for evil's sake'
That at least has the basic logic of Amalthus evil, therefore his blade picked up that evil. 3 doesn’t even bother to give you that with a lot of its weaker plot.
XB3's plot is not just "weaker," it's two-bit shit that everyone on this board agrees is one of the worst-written abominations in all of fiction. XB3 is so bad it makes XB1 and XB2 retroactively shit
the game is proof
Why are there no super-old High Entia or Machina that broke out of the cycle though?
>Why are there no super-old High Entia or Machina that broke out of the cycle though?
standardized aging, that's why.
Only ouroboros got freed, which neither high entia or machina did before the main story
Again, there's nothing in the story that indicates the "standardized" aging is caused by origin. It could be because they're all mutts who interbred with Homs. But the game just handwaves it because they don't care about 1 or 2's lore
>Again, there's nothing in the story that indicates the "standardized" aging is caused by origin
The fact they have standarized aging.
Doesn't mean it came from origin. It could just be because their parents bred with Homs. Either way the writers didn't care to explain it
>origin
You didn't play the game, see
See
>Either way the writers didn't care to explain it
They expected too much of the audience, clearly. People like you are why stories keep getting dumbed down more and more every year.
>by origin
No, the cloning process does.
>No, the [headcanon] does
You mean like how Eunie noted that Melia's wings are a brighter white and her own are kind of dull? Or is that kinda detail too subtle? Or are you going to say the lack of a blatant explanation is evidence of a plot hole?
Maybe hunter x hunter is more your style.
>the genetic sign of Melia’s human mom is proof that there’s standardized aging
???
>>the genetic sign of Melia’s human mom is proof that there’s standardized aging
Play XC1 dipshit.
Purebloods have brighter, whiter wings.
Melia isn’t pure either and still has the longer lifespan genes
>imagine forgetting Melia is nearly 90 to defend the lack of care that went into 3’s plot
How?
>Melia isn’t pure either
Her wings are also much smaller.
Eunie's are small AND not pure white.
You are literally too fricking stupid to pick up on the most blatant details. For someone who claims to like the past 2 games, you sure don't remember anything about them.
Do you have a point here?
It's not. There's nothing in the game that supports what you're saying.
The game is also proof that they didn’t care about the race’s original aging rates.
Enel's discord gave up. Lmao XB3 eternally BTFO. Worst RPG in existence.
Because they're not actually their original races. They may appear that way on the surface but it's clear that they're all just ether beings at this point, functionally the same biologically if you come out of the cradle
>Because they're [headcanon]
Okay, so that means that the original Eunie and Lanz will outlive Noah, right? Because once Origin fully completes its process, the two worlds are rebuilt and safely merge without causing annihalition, right? Sena, Mio, and Taion also outlive Noah due to having Blade genetics, right?
>Okay, so that means that the original Eunie and Lanz will outlive Noah, right?
Maybe.
We don't know what happens after 3.
Not a plothole
It's still lazy writing to not explain it.
No it isn't, not spoonfeeding you what happens after the end is not necessary.
Stop fricking mass replying
I'm replying to one person
XB2 made XB2 shit.
People knew that but most people insisted, for at least half a year, that Malos was actually a flat, uninteresting character who was carried by his VA.
People acted like Malos was just a mustache-twirler and Amalthus was just Evil Pope.
My point is that what might seem to be weaker on the surface might have more depth if you process everything that's going on. I spent too much time on this stupid site writing functionally essays about "Why Amalthus and Malos are well written, actually" and eventually more people saw the light.
IF you can believe it, people were saying Egil and Zanza were better written than Malos, Jin and Amalthus. People were actually saying the characters in XB1 were better written than the characters in XB2. Most people would disagree with that today but my point is that that was the sentiment for at least a full year before more people gave the characters in 2 a second look.
I'm going to go and say that 3's merits are either being ignored or underplayed by a lot of people still. 3 has some issues in how it tells its story but I'd argue it has a pretty strong plot still
>I'm going to go and say that 3's merits are either being ignored or underplayed by a lot of people still. 3 has some issues in how it tells its story but I'd argue it has a pretty strong plot still
It's not. Everyone agrees it's Marvelslop. See
and how Enel's discord has no response to it.
>3’s plot isn’t trash if you jump to all these conclusions that my Discord agreed must be the answer because no one at Monolith could be assed to write them
I really don’t understand this moronic infighting. These games are all made by the same goddamn people, what’s the point of shitposting them to hell and back as if it wouldn’t be better for everyone for the series to succeed?
Half of these posts read like they’re being made by the same 2-3 people who don’t know anything about these games beyond Takahashi being the director and a few plot beats from 2.
>you have to like every work a person/company puts out
Eat my ass, catgay bootlicker. People like you are the reason products stagnate and get complacent.
Enel makes it really obvious when he's damage controlling Dumpsterfire Flopicles 3.
Are you the guy who keeps coming into the threads crying about “Takahashi apologists?”
You’ve been popping up a lot lately and always go for the most inflammatory, bad-faith arguments.
You gonna cry about it? 3 was a shit game. Go frick off to Reddit if you want a like-minded circlejerk.
