Why is this game so perfect Sup Forums?

Let's talk about it and post favorite tracks

Stockholm Syndrome: the thread

what did he mean by this

Bump

Don't make shitty bait threads.

FFXV memers pls go

Won't let me make a flat chests MC, so it's far from perfect.

...

>perfect
Far from it. OST's got some awful tunes, story is ass and end-game balance is questionable. The game still manages to be fun as fuck, though.

Also should mention the fact that the MC you create has no point at all to exist since there's nothing they even do/are of any importance to the story in any way. The game clearly has a main character, and it's not even remotely you.

>caring about story in an adventure game

Story is what everyone masturbate to in Xeno games.

Story is motivation in a game. Shit story = no motivation.

Well that's just wrong

The MC makes it possible for team Elma to be great. It's like a supersoldier. Didn't you pay any fucking attention?

The fact stands it didn't even need to be you or any self insert character to bolster her up.

Not necessarily? Has a shit story ever made you drop a game because you can't get invested or motivated enough to try? Have you ever kept playing a game with a shit story because the combat more than made up for it?

DUDE

LETS EAT TATSO

LMAO

>Have you ever kept playing a game with a shit story because the combat more than made up for it?

Yes. Because Gameplay >>>> Story

All your possible party members wouldn't be able to.

Can I play this using only the gamepad and no TV?

oops, didn't mean to quote

NOT EVEN A DISTANT LAND (NO) BUTONAWHOOOOE DIFFERENT PLANETA (NO).

I EMULATEd it, it was pretty ok. Got bored 12 hours in.

The tracks that don't have lyrics are great. The ones that do are pure trash.

I really wish none of the tracks in the game had lyrics. Last thing I wanna hear is more wailing.

Nagi a best secretary

yes

Sure, but you'll need a magnifying glass to read the text.

If you can't even take 30+ RP away from Telethia Plume even with weaker weapons, you don't the deserve the title BLADE Lieutenant just yet.

>this one fag who keeps making XCX threads daily even thought it was shit and people hated it

Why not put that much effort in something actually useful? Serious question.

Thanks guys

ONE BY ONE

INTO THE SUUUUUUN

I just started a new character and I'm thinking of using a Photon saber and the big ass rayguns. Do they have a good skillset?

I'm still learning the whole Xenoblade battle system.

Also do I have to use Elma/Lin on every fucking story mission? I just wanna use Lao/Irina.

I recently played this game, didn't finish it yet.
It has a pretty unique combat system and overall character development (in terms of stats and such) is top-tier in the scope of JRPGs, but the story is very weak, the characters are shit, and it gets very repetitive. Also the soundtrack gets annoying pretty fast.
Would recommend if you don't hate offline mmos as much as I do.

Yes, you're gonna have to use Elma and Lin on all of them. You can usually bring Irina as a 4th member though
>Lao
Don't waste your time

Super Soldier is an understatement for a character who can solo monsters capable of destroying entire planets with ease.

>literally defending one player mmo

Here's the memer again

Is Lao shit? I like his character so far.

I don't wanna spoil you user. You'll see.

Using the same OP pic too

I though they were going to elaborate on the MC you create, like give you some kind of nice mindfuck twist that you are actually somebody else, but ended up in that custom mim, or basically anything that explains why you do so well as you do.

Instead, it never even gets mentioned. Seems like a wasted opportunity to me.

thats dumb. Seriously story is 50% of the game.

The MC literally amounts to nothing but a no-name grunt, Elma for all intents and purposes is the protagonist. I feel like I'm playing one of the party members from fucking Mass Effect and she's taking me out in her party to do the important shit.

>Dress MC up like a robot with one of those sick Grenada helmets
>Roleplay like he's a robot
>Mfw his arm falls off
>Mfw all the characters are literal memes

Enough with this shit. Story in an rpg is NEVER irrelevant. If it's bad, I see no point in playing it.

Clearly I'm the one whose going to have to take the bait since the shitters won't stop whining about us liking this game until they get a (you).

>millennials

I like the raygun too but I don't know much about it other then shooting beams with it.

Even if you don't want to spoil him, I think he has a pretty good idea now so you already did your damage. I know because it happened to me as well.

>post favorite tracks
YEAH!!
UH-UH

>Want to play this game
>Obtuse to learn
>Lose motivation every time I sift through the menus or the "manual"

Pros:
>amazing open world
>get to fly around in mechs
>game doesnt hold your hand
>it actually takes a lot of time and effort to get a mech, never mind the best ones
>hundreds of hours of content
>Hundreds of different kinds of enemies with quite a few super bosses mean theres always a challenge somewhere
>tons of companions and side stories
>Nagi is a fucking boss

Cons
>Story seems a bit bland
>Elma was quite obviously the main character and it seems really awkward that your character not only remains silent all game but is pretty much just a minor character
>Tatsu is a poor mans Riki
>Fighting/gameplay could have been a bit better but thats more of a subjective artistic decision
>A lot of high end content requires endless grinding in online battles that make you rely on other people just to unlock
>Linly Kuu was a terrible mary sue and should never have been in the game

Overall I liked it. Not my favorite game but by far the best on the wii u other than bayonetta 2.

It certainly doesn't hold your hand, and as for me, even after reading the manual I still never figured out some shit like the overdrive system.

Luckily, in order to beat the main story, you can do perfectly fine with only marginal understanding of the various game mechanics.

...

WEND BROWS HARD IN DECEMBER

I liked that quest, was memorable.

I know you've heard this before but why don't you just watch a movie or read a book instead dude? If story is that high of a priority for you, you're better off not playing video games or playing on a console that offers more games that focuses more on story than gameplay, a Nintendo system's main crowd is usually gameplay-centric.

>meet tatsu
Lin: LOL ARE YOU A POTATO? LET'S EAT YOU
>tatsu character development
Lin: LOL ARE YOU A POTATO? LET'S EAT YOU
>tatsu opens his mout
Lin: LOL ARE YOU A POTATO? LET'S EAT YOU
>300 hours in
Lin: LOL ARE YOU A POTATO? LET'S EAT YOU

it's actually good and people like it

Why is Irina such a good party member?

>Last Stand
>Ramjet Rifle
>Smooth Recovery
>Energy Source
>High Tension
>Utility for sleep builds
>All those debuffs

That's not a great combination for you as you play because they're actually in two different classes. Your two party members can do that from the start because they have custom classes.
I'd start with the galactic knight class line since saber is what you'll probably use most.

tatsu isn't even that terrible, Lin is the fucking worst when interacting with him

x isn't better than original britbong chronicles

combat is horribly balanced with dolls, voice work and music obviously worse too

Fuck off.

I told you already, in an RPG of all things, the story is not irrelevant, no matter how much you want your gameplay > story bullshit. Furthermore, the creators of this series is mainly known for their interesting stories. Nobody played Xenogears (especially disc 2 lol) or Xenosaga games for the gameplay. Even Xenoblade 1 managed to come up with an interesting story. Therefore, it would be a reasonable expectiation for Xenoblade X to pick up the pace. Instead, it was a letdown.

It's like 100+ hours of Jar Jar Binks turned up to 11
What the literal fuck is wrong with Monolith. Like what motivates a sane individual to not only include this type of character but force them upon you for the entire fucking experience? It's like being fucking raped for 100 hours or more.
I am actually stunned. Dumbfounded beyond any capacity for rational thought as to why anyone of the development team willed this character into existence.

I agree. Fucking nips just had to have a loli mary sue in their game

any similar game for pc master race?

the music in xcx is better despite the few awful tracks, britbong is filled with generic forgettable music other than maybe satorl night

Tatsu is actually kind of funny sometimes, its the fact linly makes the same jokes over and over and over and over again all game.

If you remove linly Tatsu is actually pretty funny with how self important he is.

...

I still don't know how they fucked him up when Riki was absolutely perfect. All they had to do was make Riki 2.0 and they would be fine, but they fucked it up, big time.

Knights of the Old Republic

Witcher 3 in the sense that both games feature massive open world with tons of sidequests.

Not sure what you are looking for.

>elma gets into a street fight.webm
>the clip is clearly showing irina the lesbian getting into a fight and elma not doing anything
is this bait

I don't even know how they got into the white whale in the first place if they act like this.

in an interview and a twitter post from NoA he was designed to be 100% opposite of Riki because the ideology is that an opposite personality can also be likeable. It backfired pretty hard.

The Japanese version was even worse since he has a catchphrase that he says ever end of his sentence.

I'm sorry that's wrong, even when Lin does not interact with him he is literally a blistering cancer upon the game. The character serves no fucking purpose. He contributes nothing to either the narrative or gameplay. He seems like some kind of vindictive punishment the devs inflicted upon the player that makes playing the game feel like self-flagellation. I can say without hyperbole this might honestly be the worst, THE WORST character ever created in the past 100 years of fiction if not longer.

He's not funny, but he's pretty inoffensive and when the focus shifts to him, you kinda expect the usual stuff coming from him, but then, while his lines are still running, you dread the coming of the usual "I'D RATHER PEEL AND BOIL YOU YUMMY" from Lin.

Being stuck on a whole 'nother pla-net does things to people.

>he literally says potato in every line
This is why I can never take people asking for direct translations seriously.

...

>they actually thought that shoehorning another nopon mascot character into the party with the complete opposite personality of riki was a good idea
why
Everyone liked Riki because he defied expectations and was actually genuinely likeable, on top of being a GOAT party member. Why throw that away, literally?

>tfw you finally learn how to infinite overdrive for the first time

and then it made the game too easy.

And you shouldn't, those people have no idea what they are talking about.

I love how on Sup Forums everybody is a translation specialist and criticizes translation when they can't even fucking speak the language.

LEGENDARY
HEROPON

What improvements would you like to see in a Switch port?

I'd like BIGGER TEXT

because they wanted to try something a bit more different?

I mean if he we have another riki 2.0 it would be another amount of people complaining about another rehashed mascot character.

Not like it was anything new since Xeno games have been rehashing a lot of the same shit.

The worst part is that Jap devs are notorious for being unable to take criticism and instead double down on what the fans dislike, so if there is an XCX2 except a hundred times more Tatsu.

>optional Japanese audio
>censors removed
>endgame balance changes (make it harder to break the game)

Instead of a port id rather have a sequal with
>an actual decent main character
>no more linly or riku
>an explanation for every vague unanswered question from the first game
>bigger and better mechs
>bigger and better enemies
is that so much to ask for?

I mean mira is a huge planet and we only see like 1 side of the planet MAYBE.

way slower leveling, improved audio on the ost to where it's not blaring in some cutscenes, Buffs and nerfs to some arts, mainly want a nerf to ghostwalker. Make skells not underwhelming in pre-post game, Seriously the only thing they have going for them is that Phoenix wing art and the gravity buster sword until you beat the game but until then overdrive is much better since you can get higher dps and stay alive practically forever.

Sound sliders, party assembly menu, some rebalancing of arts and crafting to make more builds viable earlier, Lin deleted.
But really I'd prefer a new game or a lengthy expansion pack.

money perhaps

Sounds like you haven't really done the sidequests yet, that's where your character truly shines in this game and where decisions you make can actually have their consequences.

Speaking of which, if you choose to spare {spoiler]Fortun[/spoiler], you won't get the quest where some of the definians falls in love with your character

>nearly gets you killed on several occasions because of his own stupidity
>Cross even loses an arm trying to save him

Also, Mia best girl

But it's an RPG, not an adventure game. Also

Well apparently Monolith Soft aren't handling the port, so we are getting a new game from them sooner rather than later.

I hope for a Mira sequel too.

A better course of action would be to just not shoehorn another mascot into the party. Especially if said mascot doesn't even participate in combat at all.

That would make sense actually
