except xbx was only about those things in concept

in execution it was about delivering pizzas to high pitched annoying as fuck aliens and listening to utterly trash jpop garbage while you fly over a barren overworld to go to your next obnoxiously kindergarten level labelled map waypoint

fuck this game and fuck the potential it had and fuck them for not just making xb2 sooner

More excited for 2 than I was for X desu senpai.

Wait, what was the first game about?

Judge a game by its trailer why don't ya.

>you fly over a barren overworld
The overworld was absolutely not barren.
>to go to your next obnoxiously kindergarten level labelled map waypoint
Wait, you're complaining about marked points on the map? you know XC did the same thing right?

You should apologize to jpop.

Gnosticism, the futility of prejudice and the cycle of revenge

Fuck you. Delivering pizzas was dope.

>it was about delivering pizzas
Literally one sidequest, you have autism.
>high pitched annoying as fuck aliens
High bitched: true
Annoying: shitty opinion
>high pitched annoying as fuck aliens
Top kek, the soundtrack is one of the strongest points of the game, you can't even pretend you don't have shit taste now.
>high pitched annoying as fuck aliens
How is the overworld barren? What does this even mean? What would the game needed to have done for you not to consider it barren?
>obnoxiously kindergarten level labelled map waypoint
??????

Conclusion: you are absolutely retarded. Kill yourself and your offsprings as well if you had the nerve to reproduce.

...

I will since a trailer is supposed to get me hyped for the game and this one did the opposite.

Elma for Smash when?

She's irrelevant now that the new game is coming and she's not in it.

...

...

Is anyone from X in the new game.
Checkmate.

Shulk was irrelevant and still got a place in smash 2bh

I'm not sure I see your point, elaborate?
Shulk was irrelevant in the overall sense. But he was relevant to Xenoblade because he was the protagoinst.
Elma is irrelevant to Xenoblade now that they aren't making an X sequel. If there's a new Xenoblade character in the next Smash, it'll be Rex.

THE WIND BLOWS

HARD IN DECEMBER

Hoe much shit do these people eat on a daily basis?

The field themes were great. NLA and Black Tar were shitty though. And I didn't really like uncontrollable, I'm glad they have another song play during overdrive

That logic makes no sense. Shulk was added when Xenoblade 2 wasn't even a thing, and 4 years after it's release.

Why samefag

youtube.com/watch?v=RD4r8ufspg0

At the time of Smash 4's release, Shulk was the most recent Xenoblade protagonist.
At the time of Smash 5's release, Rex will be the most recent Xenoblade protagonist. Not Elma.
Does this make sense now?

More than just the ending theme this time.

XB2 gunna have quality town music like:

This may come as a shock but many people hated the music in this game because it was shitty and cringey. Good for you for not being ashamed of your terrible taste though.

Literally a samefag tho

Why the FUCK was this allowed?!

>aliens who fucked over humanity cuz muh prophecy.
That's not the reason they attacked Earth. Did you even play the game?

what did she mean by this?

XBX barely had any story and once they moved past any plot point or theme it was completely forgotten about and just moved past.

Also, XBX was fucking horrible compared to the first game, featuring worse combat, worse story and characters, and DEFINITELY worse music.

>Riki
>not important in team dynamics

>once they moved past any plot point or theme it was completely forgotten about and just moved past.
That's because X was intended to be the prologue to a larger story that would be expanded on in sequels.
But noooooo, you fucking smash babbies just had to have MUH NADO back so you fucking bitched and whined until the game that was finished got a fucking sequel instead of the one with a cliffhanger.

what did he mean by this

>that one guy itt desperately defending XBX

Relax man just accept that the game sucked major dong

Or maybe it's because X was completely underwhelming and far worse than the first game.

You must be someone who has like 200 mecha figmas in their room.

this, fucking retarded blade babies don't realize the pacing of XCX is on point with XSI. XCX set up the concepts of the soul, hell, GitS, etc.

>Worse combat than XC

This is how you know someone is trolling. Complain about all the other subjective parts of the game if you want but XCX's combat was a direct upgrade in almost every regard to XC's

>Or maybe it's because X was completely underwhelming and far worse than the first game.
So why does it have a better metacritic score and better sales than the first?

As long as I can run around the game with my harem of scantily clad anime girls I'm good.

It's because humans are some distant subsect of the species that villain race was enslaved by and later usurped. A big ol' prophecy called humans would end them.

Listen, he's a goofball, almost a lil brother, and comic relief at times, but he is the most expendable with a far margin.

>You must be someone who has like 200 mecha figmas in their room.
implying that's a bad thing

>XBX had no story!
It did. It just didn't spend enough time on it. The story was delivered in very large chunks that didn't take much time so I guess retards can be excused for missing most of it.
>XBX had a bad story!
Moving goalposts, much? It was standard Takahashi fare with a bleaker tone than normal. Even after the end of the game humanity is hanging on by a thread nobody can identify.
>How dare they drop XBX for XB2!
They started on XB2 soon after XBX. XBX2 is coming after XB2. It's blatantly obvious.

How can people be so trite and ignorant?

Hey look its that one XCX guy.

Everyone point and laugh. HAHAHAHAHA

No, no, it really wasn't. the first game was enjoyable and your party composition actually mattered a lot, every character had their set role that they were really good at and it was up to you to decide how to do it.

Xenoblade X is pretty much a solo affair where your party members exist solely to heal the PC while they do some gamebreaking levels of damage with broken builds. Beyond that the first game's combo/skill system was far superior.

And don't even get me started on the garbage that is mech combat where you just spam skills for hours and hope you get that 20% chance for cockpit view so you can spam more skills for hours.

>XBX2 is coming after XB2. It's blatantly obvious.
How so?

I hope they keep the movement improvements from XCX in XC2. I mean things like running, more air control, no fall damage, and others i'm probably forgetting.
Other things like fashion gear should return as well.

seemaybe not right after XC2, they may do a new IP or something then continue

Agreed. The game would be better with a faggy shota harem instead.

xcx was a slap in the face. it could have been great, but instead they were like "lol to be continued". part of the holy trinity of wasted potential (ff xv, xcx, mgs v)
that sqid, i will be buying a switch when xc2 comes out

Or maybe they just drop it altogether because Nintendo plebs only want muh nado high fantasy shit.

>tfw never beat Xenoblade X
I really tried but there's something about turning a game's music completely off that doesn't feel right with me. I couldn't play it with the music on though for obvious reasons.

considering XCX sold around the same amount as XC (or more if we go by first week japan sales) on a console with a tenth of sales I doubt that

Based on the trailer it doesn't look like there's sprinting.

I hope Xenoblade 2 isn't all about grinding like X. X was so shitty because of that.

No Reyn time no buy

I think those might be transferred to ridable animals, or fall damage mitigated by the grappling hook?

Maybe if the game itself wasn't far worse people would like the mecha.
go hot glue your Zone of the Enders figmas, faggot.

What are you talking about? X didn't require grinding at all until the post-game (which admittedly was really shitty due to the drop rates).
I never had to grind during the main game, if anything I was always overleveled because I did side missions and affinity missions as soon as they became available.

I remember not having to run around and do a bunch of side missions in order to complete Xenoblade Chronicles. X makes me do a bunch of that shit and it takes like an hour to level up once.

a question.


What is the RPG video game more easier than there is?


I look RPG's that super easy and without anything difficult

this desu, i played x first and then xenoblade afterwards and thought that combat was better

most of the side missions are optional dude.

No they're not, because the main game locks you out unless you hit certain levels.

If you do nothing but mainline the story as hard as possible you will quickly hit a brick wall where you get like, 3 shotted by dudes you can't even get down to half health.

I've got no problem with this, the game is clearly meant for you to do loads of side content, but it is something that happens.

Okay, I don't know what you want man. You can grind by fighting enemies, and if you don't like that you can """""grind""""" by doing side missions. The game gives you options. The side missions are actually good (unlike XC) and have content to them, so I'm not sure why you'd bitch about having MORE content.

And the cucking of Melia.

All I'm saying is that the first game didn't force me to run around trying to find sidequests that are actually worth my time just so I can progress the main story.

I guess I can understand that, although not really since the game throws dozens of sidequests at you constantly.
I do agree that gating the main story behind progression is kind of stupid since it means the game isn't truly "open"

>So why does it have a better metacritic score
It literally doesn't. What?

You're the kind of braindamaged shitter who can't live without being told how to play a videogame.

Your party is as useful as you make them. Upgrade their gear, give them augments, learn how soul voices work and customize their arts so they can into overdrive.

Your build is as broken as YOU make it and skells are an option, mostly useful to boost your party members. Nothing, however, will help you pull your head out of your ass.

So you're telling me they spent an entire game just teasing you for sequelbait instead of making a contained, concise, and full story and you fucking think this was better than XBC?

XBC not only had an entire excellent story from start to finish in one game, it ALSO allowed for the player to imagine where the story could continue/how a sequel could exist without spending a whole lame fucking game dicking around setting up """""concepts""""""" for a sequel as if that's some sort of fucking excuse for piss poor story content

xenogears was meant to be 6 episodes and xenosaga was 3 and meant to be 6. Xenogears and xenosaga have better stories than blade so I'm eagerly awaiting XCX2.

You have to understand that even if Xenoblade has a good story, the worldbuilding and lore arn't very good, these are things the other games do better. XCX has established its concepts much like XSI took the time to do so and can craft a far better experience because of it.

Try playing the previous games sometime

What I'm saying is that you seem to think a competent story needs to be sacrificed in order to build a fascinating world which is just silly, because xb1 had a good story and at the same time also made a solid foundation for a lore that can be built upon in sequels

It really didn't. Think about all of the alien races in Xenoblade X and how we learn about them and their cultures through the sidequests. There's nothing like that in Xenoblade.

the new xenoblade looks like a Vita game with terrible anime same faces.

because you learn about hom/machina/high entia life in the main story instead of padded sidequests

Reminder for the Xeno-thread residents.

If you see someone saying
>XCX had a bombastic holywood shit OST because it aimed for the mainstream audience

keywords here: bombastic and holywood

>XCX was mainstream crap and nothing like Xenosaga, XC was actually much more similar to Xenosaga and Xenogears.

>Exploration and side quests in XCX were shit compared to FFXV

It's XV-kun, he always starts off with the "bombastic OST" and "XCX is nothing like Saga" and then proceeds to shitpost the threads with FFXV shilling.

Ignore him at all costs.

pic unrelated, it's the only xeno pic i have on my desktop.

What do you mean by "padded"?
Also what is the problem with putting this stuff in sidequests? Its still there, just accessed differently.

I like XCX more than XC

>solid foundation for lore that can be built upon

the only thing that had foundation was the high entia ancestors and the giants which I doubt will come back

>plot in a tale about transcending fate.

Its literally shonen-tier yelling at god. I love XBC's story, but do go and try to make it sound like more than it is

I really hope so too. XBX's mountain goatting and BotW climbing have ruined other game movement for me

This user is right, fucking Tales of Xillia 2 had the same exact story as xc1, it's fucking anime shounen shit.

MOM SAID ITS MY TURN TO USE THE MONADO

Post more Lyn ass

The art style has nothing to do with the games story or its themes. Xenogears and Xenosaga 1 were anime as fuck but the story is not shounenshit like XC.

What leads me to believe XC2 will be shounenshit is not the art style but the presentation.

That trailer screams "anime story"

>That trailer screams "anime story"

What's not "anime story" about Xenogears or Xenosaga?

where is his nose

Focus on philosophy, psychology, worldbuilding and lore?

These arn't things that happen in Shounen

Xenoblade X wasn't a shounen but that didn't have philosophy or psychology either.

The concepts of the soul and Ghost in the Shell were set up however. Psychology wasn't a big focus as the main character is an AI but it's touched upon a bit in other characters like Irena who contemplated suicide or the various residence going nuts under their MIMs

compare this with Melia who just gets shat on constantly and shrugs it off, or Sharla forgetting about Gadolt like 15 minutes after his death

>compare this with Melia who just gets shat on constantly and shrugs it off,

I wouldn't really say she shrugged it off.

>Sharla forgetting about Gadolt like 15 minutes after his death

You'd rather her whine about him for the rest of the game? The story has to progress.

Playing through Xenosaga 2 right now and it's far better than i expected. You guys exaggerated too much.
