THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME

YER DONE

Best switch game.

DONT FORGET ME

BEHAVE

It cured my erectile disfunction

Nia a perfect

I enjoyed it very much, it's a flawed game but not enough to dampen my opinion of it looking back on the entire thing.

I think though, if I hadn't played XB1, I wouldn't have had such a high opinion of it by the end due to how much the (ending spoilers) events of the first game tie in with the second game, especially as they kept saying there was no connection

Nia is the most cute
So I should do with an absolute Japanese voice
I do not recommend doing it in English dub

Is there anything besides Shulk talking

Takahashi is a genius and an absolute madman.

amazing game marred by absolutely retarded design choices

made the Switch worth the money for me

This work is really a highroad
If you understand it you can really enjoy it

It's a game that's very hard to put down for me. Sure, it has a lot of flaws like poor map and compass, too much menu-ing, and awkward english voice acting, but I just like this game too much. Definitely playing it again when we get the NG+ patch.

ENDING SPOILERS:

The final chapter takes place on board the space station that you see in XB1 thousands/millions of years after the phase transition experiment.

Humans found an artifact called the Conduit (which is basically a Zohar) and have this big research facility built around it. The conduit is basically a gateway to multiple parallel universes, one of which supplies power which others can try to harness.

Another Human faction is trying to take the Conduit for themselves in what is basically a WW3 with gundams type situation, but before it can be used to power up their ultimate weapon, Klaus from the first game locks the facility from using it and tries to turn himself into a god because humans are fools that are destroying the earth (oh the ironing).

Because they can't contain the power of the conduit with these 3 computer processors, the experiment fucks up massively, and many people and things from earth get flung into different dimensions, including half of Klaus' being, along with a woman called Galea and one of the processors.

The half of Klaus that gets lost is his hubris and he tries to become the god of the new universe (Zanza), Galea becomes Lady Meyneth and the third processor becomes Ontos and uses the power of the conduit to give them reality shaping powers.

Meanwhile, the other half of Klaus is left alone of the space station, and spends the next however many years trying to rebuild life on earth.

The cloud sea is actually nanomachines, that are working to restore the ruined earth atom by atom, and the core crystals were an attempt to replace human brain cells which bonded with the naonmachines molecular structure and formed new life, the titans, which gave birth to their own life, creating a new evolutionary line on Earth

There's more but it's a lot to go through in one post.

I'm only 10 hours in, but it's brilliant and terrible in equal measure, but at this point that's exactly what I expectand want from a Xeno game. XCX had more pronounced highs and lows than 2, which plays it a bit safe, but it's still a unique take on JRPGs and the shonen plot is more enjoyable than I thought it would be.

NIA BLADE IS SEXY

It's a fucking great game. Best Xenoblade game to date and one of the best JRPGs of recent time.

Bonus for having superb waifus

Better than 1 but not quite as cool as X

>Bonus for having superb waifus
>Pyra, Mythra, Nia, Poppi, Morag, Brighid, Pandy, Fan
Any one of them would be best girl in a different game, and Takahashi managed to put them all in one.

she gets cucked tho

Absolutely based.

Amazing game that I am absolutely loving. However, I have to admit it has a lot of problems. An absolute garbage map system, the merc missions, field skills - I find these bog down the experience and can be frustrating.

>tfw going from poppi to poppi QT
My fucking dick

Reminder that the patch we're getting just now is fixing a lot of it!

I really like the combat and music.
The story and characters are good too.
Graphics could be better, but sometimes the scenery looks great.
The map system absolutely sucks

FUCK FIELD SKILLS

yeah! they're going to fix the map... and then...

youtu.be/qWGO8MhrEiE

I love this video for some reason, it's great

They also make the menus less annoying to navigate

They aren't fixing the field skills at least yet, but I have an idea how they could be improved: Have the game automatically find the Blades that have the skills you need at the moment, instead of making you search for them

thankfully there's a patch coming in a week, (ver 1.1.1) that will make the X key go to the map you're currently on, immediately.

Also i agree with the guy im quoting, but i hate the ENG VA, as someone that really liked XC1's

(im on chapter 3)

A masterpiece if you love delicious JRPG goodness like I do.

Enjoyable game. some stupid choices. Not as good as XBC but still good.

A pretty good game though the RNG thing is a bit annoying

Are you playing with a Japanese dub?
I'm wondering which way to go

It's pretty great but flawed.
Story isn't very original but well executed and because of the small cast all of the characters get to shine. Even 100 Hours in the damn Noppon is still getting meaningful scenes.
Combat is fantastic, probably the best of all 3 Blade games since all the systems are actual needed and not just completely invalidated the by fucking Overdrive.
Dub is trash but entertaining if you don't give a fuck about the story and just want your memes.
Quests are mostly better, at least 90% of them have actual stories attached to them that give a bit more context to the world but there are still a bunch of awful rare item drop quests.

My biggest issues are the menus and blade management.
Why do I need to open fast travel, select the titan I'm on then select the area I'm in just to view the map of my current position?
There are no means of tracking Affinities other than the Affinity Menu itself and every time you unlock one you have to sit through an animation and voice line to actually have them take effect. This is especially bad for Merc missions where you have to sit through 3-5 of those in a row.

The Gacha system is easily the worst part of the game.
Having no control over who gets what and only having 8 (5 of which are only obtainable towards the end of the game) OD Protocols for an entire playthrough is insanely retarded and so is having diminishing returns to the points that you can go through 20 legendary cores without a single rare in a singleplayer game with no microtransactions.

Autism over.

Do you really want to listen to fucking Yorkshire and Welsh accents?
Didn't think so.

really? I don't see it in the patch notes

that's the problem, all the stupid shit can easily be fixed but we don't know if they will

youtube.com/watch?v=2odHwVcY9y8&t=191s

This scene alone exceeded XC 1.
Nia, I love you too

I unironically like Irish Nia and All Australian Vandham

Dub is okay. You get used to them and there are genuinely good performances in there but the localisation hurts Jin and Nia a lot.
The original jap VA is mostly fantastic, especially Griffith as Jin and Rex's VA can scream super well.

>don't have it yet
>heard that they're patching the problems and adding ng+
guess I can wait

Nia's hips!

One of my favorite scenes in the game, despite it being a bit cheesy. I just love sappy confession scenes like that one.

Pretty great game, but I want to punch whoever directed the cutscenes in the neck, holy shit. How do you fuck up such a basic-bitch generic plot?

>patching the problems
There are no problems, not really. I mean, no game is perfect per se, but XC2 is pretty damn close to it as it is. It's far and away superior to trash like Nier: Automata, and nobody was calling for that to get patched.

i'm loving it, i'ìm at the final boss, but he kills all my aprty with a fucking hit, now i'm farming.

>I love you too Nia!
>I love all of you guys!

It's a lot less painful in japanese since they just use "like a lot" instead of "love".

You get Overdrives by sending away 4 star maxed shitblades.

Doesn't really matter at that point anymore since Pneuma basically always guarantees you a full burst so if your gear is good enough to survive for 3 minutes you just won the fight.

It is my GOTY
