the whole fucking game is a sidequest

...

I'm as shocked as you are

Basically.

i prefer the combat, graphics and HUD in XV but everything else i like better in XCX

My main beef with XV is so many fucking limitations during free roam.

Your fucking Chocobo can't even leap off a tiny side gate or certain types of terrain its major bullshit.

Delusional

>Said no one ever

I honestly never saw it coming, and I was disappointed with XCX.

I haven' t played FF XV but was it really shittier than XCX? XCX is literally the most generic weeb shit I've ever played, horrible combat, horrible story, horrible characters, horrible HUB. I wasn't even able to get a skell because I couldn't play that shit longer, I really regret paying full price for that piece of crap, I had never traded in a game so fast

I think it was tempered expectations on my end. I expected XBX to be okay at best, it turned out to be great. I expected FFXV to be great, it turned out to be okay.

Really makes you think.

Monolith is an actually decent developer while Neo-SE can barely pull off publishing.

SE is probably misses Takahashi now

What if they try to lure him back with an offer of unlimited budget/creative freedom and the Xenogears name?

Yet the only reason people bring up XCX nowadays is to shit on FFXV, as if you need more reasons to shit on FFXV.

Xenoblade X's story was bad user It's still my favorite xeno game though

Exactly and FFXV is even worse.

There are weekly threads whether to discuss the game or shit on it. Fuck off

Surprising literally no one. When's the last time a FF game had an actually good sidequest?

9

Not to mention that even with "DUDE, POTATO, LMAO" and "DUDE, COOKING, LMAO" and "DUDE, TREASON, LMAO" and "DUDE, HUMANS, LMAO", it still has more likeable characters

Considering how Scamco promised him the same thing, he wouldn't. All hail Nintendo.

>got the itch to play again
>want to start a new game
>need to create a new Wii U profile
Damn. Not that tedious, but damn.

No it didn't.

As someone who was hyped for both and went out and got both games day one I can say FFXV has the upper hand here.

Xenoblade Chronicles X got so fucking boring after 5 hours when the majority of quests were just "Go here, talk to some cunt, make stupid jokes, travel to an area, kill a selec few monsters, come back" or boring fetch quests. It got boring so fucking quick. The only thing they did right was the World.

FFXV is a really good breath of fresh air, not everything is a boring fetch Quest and if I'm bored I can just take time off and explore the world, go fishing, find camera spots and hunt things for money and items or just drive around and take in the views.

What can I do in Xenoblade if I'm bored and don't want to do quests. Walk around the world and pick up blue orbs?

Both have terrible gameplay though, so whats the point in bothering

Just gonna leave it here.

>ultra-faggot OP makes these threads every hour just so he can samefag relentlessly and shitpost XCX in them

Do you never get tired of it? Doing the exact same thing over and over is not healthy.

The only people who like FF15 are autistic enough to do this. The game is offensively bad.

>after 5 hours
after 5 hours most people have made a character and played the introductory sequence of entering New LA, you certainly wouldn't have had enough time to get an impression of its many sidemissions yet.

>What can I do in Xenoblade if I'm bored and don't want to do quests. Walk around the world and pick up blue orbs?
kill tyrants

collect treasure material

find scenic viewpoints

find ganglion bases (and slay them all)

install and manage probes

invest in weapons dealers

etc.

I don't know why you wouldn't want to do the missions though honestly, most of them are great (especially affinity and social-type normal missions)

>includes shipped copies
Pokemon shipped double and sold more than what XV shipped

To think that "THE GREATEST WIIU JRPG" is nothing but something that people only bring up when FFXV is mentioned, and is completely forgotten otherwise.

Did it even sell 1 million units?

How far do you have to walk from your cubicle to the designated shitting street Pajeet?

Xenoblade has pretty much replaced Final Fantasy at this point.
Xenoblade was FFXII done right
Xenoblade X is FFXV done right
and it didn't even take half as long to develop as XV

For every mainline Final Fantasy there will be at least 2 Xeno games made in the same development time going forward. Feels good to see that the JRPG giant is back on Nintendo again.

daily reminder

Why do Final Fantasy shills have such an inferiority complex towards the Xeno series?

>Recruit a new species to NLA
>Suddenly have them populate the city and see them interact with all the other races
>A dozen new plotlines open up

This was my absolute favorite part of X

yeah, I loved it when they came from an affinity mission, not even from the main story at all - playing 1 mission can suddenly lead to an entire species arriving, and 5-10 new missions relating to those

REEEE REMOVE XENOS FUCKING MANONS EATING ALL OUR PIZZAS, NOPONS JEWING OUR SHOPS AND PRONE WOMEN SEDUCING OUR MEN REMOVE THE XENOSCUM PURGE NLA

>A bit of street bullying unfolds into a manon genocide scheme

MAKE MIRA GREAT AGAIN

What about combat?

They apparently planned on expanding the city similar to Colony 6 but it had to be cut, that's why it remains half finished in the game.

Would have been great to get more stuff like the nightmare fuel facility near the lake.
Maybe in the next game.

Which is really an accomplishment considering how dogshit XBX is in every single way.

Yep. There has never been a less 'open' open world. Cliffs and fucking walls everywhere.

Doesn't help that the map is so fucking useless.

I thought XCX was poor after the magical opening 10 hours when you're still getting used to the world. Having played FFXV I'll have to reassess it completely - it's a masterpiece by comparison.

The one thing that should be unanimously agreed that is superior in X

that's more than it deserves

I haven't played FFXV but it would have to be pretty fucking awful to be worse than the combat system in XBX and it's impossible for it to be worse than the Skell combat at least.

>watch friend play XV
>tries to jump up one of the small hills
>you can't
>can't even swim
>it's just an empty flat surface with barriers everywhere
whats even the fucking point of it being open world?

Dude, all of FF15's quests are fetch quests

I hope the next game takes place entirely on the other face of Mira or some other planet where another arch crash-landed until the post-game where you receive a beacon from NLA and manage to reach them and you can explore all the continents of XCX once again Pokémon GSC style but now NLA is a fuckhuge megapolis that spawns most of Primordia

Do you like holding circle while flinging the stick to make useless combos and pressing the d-pad randomly to make flashy moves instead of actually thinking?

>same ip.

Embarrassing.

>same ip
Pathetic

If the next game isn't what X could've been without the online shit, I'm gonna get mad.

No surprises

>Says one game doesn't have this or that
>Proceed to say that this other game has all the same shit the other game has and actually did better

embarassing

>combat
They're completely different though i prefer xv's to xcx's offline mmo combat
>sidequests
Shit in both games
>story
XV is good until after chapter 9 and xcx is just boring compared to xc
>world
xcx is more varied and huge but i like exploring amd traversing xv more because of the roadtrip vibe
>graphics
They both have the same water but other than that xv is way better looking

Nice mspaint job

>FFXV bombs, have to resort to shitting on XCX again
>PSVR bombs, have to pretend it never happened
>PS4 gets outsold hard by Xbone on Black Friday, have to resort to shitting on Microsoftpals again
Sonypals are really having a giant meltdown going into 2017, huh?
Doesn't it just feel great to be an idort?

XV has awesome bug people gotten through sidequests and Jew Mascots. Way better than XVs.

Though at least Tonberrys are Jedi now.

fucking this though XV was literal trash

>i prefer xv's to xcx's offline mmo combat
XV's just as "mmo", just with less options.

>I'm bored I can just take time off and explore the world, go fishing, find camera spots and hunt things for money and items or just drive around and take in the views.

amazing what XV can offer! you can't even "drive" the damn car it's on fucking rails user
literally all the quests are fetch quests

>an AA wii u game that's been in development for 3 years looks better than an AAA PS4 game that's been in development for a decade

>ffxv bombs

ffxv sold 5x as much in one day as xcx sold in over a year cry more nintendies

>a 7 year old wii game looks better than a PS4 game that came out this week

>Both games are terrible and vastly inferior to their previous games

Really makes me think

>vastly inferior
XBX was an improvement to XB on almost every level except for story.

6x native + hd texture pack is a bit cheating imo

>except for story
and characters
and quality of side quest

>terrible music
>terrible characters
>worse combat compared to the first one

mgsv had a terrible open world aswell
>half the map are mountains
>slightest slope makes you slip all over the fucking place
>everything else is just flat sand

>Nintendo fans think this

JUST

Well XCX was a cohesive game developed under a unified vision with a talented staff, and FFXV is a decade long abortion in the making that nobody really knew what to make out of, cobbled together by the remnants of SE's once talented employees.

It really comes down to one thing.

Xenoblade X has mechs and mechs are the only thing that can make massive open worlds fun.

XV's mistake was not having mechs.

>quality of side quests
That was one of the major things XBX did much better than XB though. XB side quests were largely kill quests and fetch quests. XBX had those, but they also had optional voice-acted side-stories too.

>terrible music
Yeah, no. Name a single track in the original XB that tops these.

youtube.com/watch?v=W6sm6Zld3nE
youtube.com/watch?v=TyDc5DGTb78

>terrible characters
Absolutely nothing to do with the gameplay itself, and stop pretending that XB's characters were any better. They were all flat too, only good main characters were Dunban and Riki. Dickson a best.

>worse combat compared to the first one
Literally how? Ground combat was twice as complex, there were a lot more systems in place.
>b-but skell combat is easy
Don't pretend you can't just stunlock enemies throughout almost the entirety of the original Xenoblade either.

the sidequests in Xenoblade were shit, especially compared to Xenoblade X you nigger

Voice-acting doesn't change the fact that the side quest are still fetch quests for the most part. And the worst part is you're force to do those shitty siqde quest in order to unlock the affinity side-quest because you have the retard heart requirements.

But they were fetch-quests/kill quests incorporated into a little story, compared to XB's "just go kill this."
Not that it makes XBX's side quests good, but they're definitely way better than XB's.

>It's a deliver this item to this other NPC on the other side of the map who is only there at a very specific time just to advance this meaningless sidequest I don't give a fuck about episode

I'm so glad the next game had good sidequest and mechs, Xenoblade was almost unbearable with this shit.

>XCX fetch quest are better than XC fetch quest

Literally explain how XB's sidequests were any better than XBX's, they were the same thing but with less context.

>dat pop-in dinosaur

Whoa...

>I never touched XCX
glad that's settled

Sry I don't find retard manon getting kill with pizza to be an interesting story

And this is why they are both shit. XCX didn't improved shit regarding side-quest

I have 200h in the game but it doesn't prevent me to see when some part of it is bad and could use improvement.

Blame the shitty Wii U hardware, it's kinda amazing the game runs at all considering how much data it has to stream.

Still an objective improvement over "kill this for me".

>XCX didn't improved shit regarding side-quest
The world was a lot more accessible and much more dynamic to explore making side-questing actually fun, even if it was the same general mechanics as the original Xenoblade. That's an improvement in of itself.

Nobody said XBX's sidequests are great. People are saying it's an objective improvement over XB's, which it is.

bullshit, if you've played that much you'd know that there's more than just fetchquests

>and quality of side quest
Nice fucking joke. The sidequests in X blow the ones in Xenoblade so far out of the water it's not even funny.

>terrible music
how did we go from this...
youtube.com/watch?v=LjjZWcp_Lew

TO THIS?
youtube.com/watch?v=trQc33hIreQ

I never said that there's only fetchquests but that you're force to do same in order to grind affinity.
Or you can kill the same mobs over and over again.
>shit vs shit content

Le

This.

I like XV more, not even a contest. I'm a grown man now. Job, wife, kids. I prefer a fun action rpg I can just play through a story on, not a 400+ hr collectathon filled with UGUUUUU characters and bosses that require gridning to beat.

Just my opinion though. If I was a young NEET I'd probably love Xenoblade X, but as it is, it will stay on my shelf, unfinished. Till the end of time.

you didn't SAY that, but it was strongly implied by and

There's been threads near daily since it released, and the general only died in August.

>not everything is a boring fetch Quest
But it is though
