This is correct.

XB2 > XBX > XB1

All 3 are fun.

I know the sidequests are shit but why is 1 that low

my favorite>your favorite
prove me wrong.

The order is correct, but I wouldn't put in a power gap.

>Characters, story, atmosphere, visuals and art, music
Xenoblade 1
>Combat and moment-to-moment gameplay
Xenoblade 2
>RPG elements, stat management, world design, exploration
Xenoblade X

Every Xeno is godlike, but none of them get EVERYTHING right.
If I'm being honest with myself, I'd say that they're all equal. It's the last pure, good JRPG series. Pretty much what Final Fantasy should've become post-FFX.

The sidequests really suck. The big appeal of the blade games are the big explorable environments which the big expansive side quest fill out. Also 2 and X become cooler as you get towards the end while 1's the reverse where the last act is the worst part of the game

Area/town/battle music is better in xc2 but cutscene music is better in 1

XC2's soundtrack is mostly mediocre in my opinion, but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best songs in vidya youtu.be/E8pFzQ1lyF8?t=132

About to play X for the first time. Any tips? Things you wish you knew when starting out?
I've already been spoiled on story stuff.

Also, what does the DLC add? It's like 10gb.

1 had awful visuals, especially character models.

>Mor Ardain daytime for the first time
>Tantal night for the first time

Religious experience

play Samurai

When you complete a class's upgrade path you unlock those weapons and their respective arts for any other class

If you want to beat everything easily and have no challenge, get Ghost Walk. If you want to have fun, do anything else. Save your tickets for Ares 90 parts.

that's not wir fliegen

You got it. OP isn't a fag for once.

>Also, what does the DLC add? It's like 10gb.
The download packs? Just improves loading time for the Disc version. Download version doesn't need it.

Gameplay wise X has the best customization, systems, and game design, 2 has the best in-combat gameplay. 1 has the best story.

Exploring Tantal at night cemented this game as my GOTY, and as one of the best JRPGs I've ever played.

>2 above anything

>tfw no romance subplot with Elma and Mia

What do you guys think about the Elma char I made in Sexy Beach PR? Are there any Elma outfit mods for Honey Select yet?

not deadpan enough

Honestly X would have been perfect had it just had a proper cast instead of two main story characters and a dozen pointless chums with no relevance whatsoever. Quality over quantity.

You're a fucking retard.

10gb just for loading really? Well shit, I thought that maybe some new quests or something was included in there.

I'm doing digital, so I guess I'll pass on it.

>XC1 has the best artstyle, that just looks bad because it's a Wii game
>XCX had an awful artstyle and XC2's artstyle is pretty meh

What went wrong?

XBX > XB1 > XB2

nah,
XC1 is by far the best one, XC2 might be slightly ahead of XCX
still good though

The Striker line good for beginners, yes, but the Forcer into Mastermind line (Raygun + Knife) is probably the most fun class imo.

I just download the basics pack it works fine it speed it pretty good you need to download them all or at all.

Replace some of those dozen pointless chums with the cool ayylmao designs too while we're at it.

>>XC1 has the best artstyle, that just looks bad because it's a Wii game
>>XCX had an awful artstyle and XC2's artstyle is pretty meh
The only bad part of X's artstyle was Monolith's inability to do faces in Tanaka's style which always looks great in 2D, meanwhile the designs of enemies and the world design is better than ever.

Blame the shoehorned in multiplayer during mid-development for those problems. They originally had other things planned with a developed MC but trashed it.

I swear all the XCX shilling comes from people who've never played any one. It was good but it sure as hell wasn't a masterpiece.

Damn shame as well since some of the extra party members were pretty entertaining. Like HB, he was pretty neat. I like Hope.

>reading black tar lyrics
who writes this shit.

It comes from Xenofans, Bladekiddies like you wouldn't understand.

This is agreeable

That fucking song, when it turned to night for the first time I just stopped what I was doing and listened.

XB2 was a mistake

1 > 2 >>>>>>> power gap > shit > X

Then they should shill Saga or Gears instead of making X out like it was the second coming of Christ.

X is the game I always wanted since playing Xenogears as a kid.

HELLO
IS THIS THING ON

According to metacritic:
1 > X > 2

Why? X was fantastic and everything I wanted.

Also this.

Quickly post your favorite track from each Xenoblade game!

Who knew a handful of songs could ruin so much. Fuck

still my favorite main cast of any JRPG

All this Sup Forums shilling made me buy X from my local flea market. So far it's a pretty fun game. Getting Phantasy Star vibes and the world is fucking huge. Amazed they were able to fit this shit on a Wii U disc.

Monolith Soft is pretty much Square in a better timeline

They almost didn't. Takahashi was worried the game would have to split across two discs at one point during its development.

why
wasn't
this
the
cover
art

1. Because of Miiverse's shut down, you won't be able to use the blade report function, though it will likely tell you that when you boot up the game

2. Many Normal missions have branching paths that could result in the deaths of certain characters, make your choices carefully

3. Don't rely too much on equipping stronger gear and leveling up. It's enough to get you through the story but if you want to fight monsters off the beaten path, learn how augments and auras work. Eventually you'll get the ability to go into Overdrive and if you set it up properly, you can cheese through almost everything

4. Enjoy your Skell's bunny hop as much as you can and it will later be replaced with flight mode

5. Complete as much of Lao's heart to hearts as you can because as I'm sure you're aware, once you reach Chapter 8, he will no longer be available to you for the rest of the game for story reasons

>Melia sulking on the ground, considering taking the plunge as Shulk gets all up in Fiora

What a good box art.

No idea, best outfit in the game too.

Perhaps my memory is really fucking bad but what is the giant red bastard in the top-right?

One of the flying whale things in oblivia. The segmented blue part is actually the mouth.

One of the world nemesis bosses, the one that's not Telethia.

Is it just me, or does everything in 2 except combat seem to be worse than X? Exploration is held back by characters not being able to jump higher than 2 feet, and the graphics as well as performance took a hit. Switch is more powerful than Wii U, yet the game doesn't look or run as well. Only thing that seems better is draw distance

I have a really irrational fondness for Shulk, I think I just like the VA's performance.

I fucking hated everything about Xenoblade 2 for awhile but this game is quickly changing into my favorite of the 3

I thought there were only two World Nemesis bosses, and the other one was a giant black dragon thing? I didn't really touch online much so I'm probs really wrong

I get tired of fighting in 2 really quickly, i dunno why.
Maybe it's the routine of getting combo to stage 3, get the orb out, crack the orb, hope the enemy dies by then, that never really changes.

One of those snail like creatures in the lava world I think. The ones that tip over and wiggle around

Part of the problem for me is everything picking a fight with you. Can't explore for more than 2 seconds without some asshole chasing you

but that's every xenoblade

The biggest problem with X was having 19 characters in your party but only 4 of them ever actually contribute to the story.

It happened... you became a weeb, you are finally one of us.

Thanks voice acting

I don't know. I don't remember this many enemies chasing me on Bionis' Knee, but it's also been a while

No you're not wrong, it's just a millepod.

Bootleg FF art isn't "a good artstyle"

I love the concept art of this game. That image gives me Phantasy Star vibes.

I agree.

I really like that artist's work in general

That's the cover to the paperback novelization.

Switch is only more powerful than Wii U when docked. Even then the Switch still runs on a ARM based CPU, those suck ass for heavy computing (aka games like Xenoblade where you got a million different things to track and a open world). A game like X wouldn't work on the Switch unless they downgraded it. XC2 had to make sacrifices to get the thing running on Switch.

alone for the soundtrack X shouldnt be anywhere

>XCX had an awful artstyle

Excuse me?

>The big appeal of a Blade game is something that wasn't there originally

user, X's soundtrack is kino

>Buy the collectors edition after the fact because I loved the game and the art and desperately wanted the artbook
>A solid 1/4th of the book is dedicated to the humans which were the worst part
>There's like a single environmental piece for each zone if that
>Your pic comes on a mircroscopic card
>Thumbdrive was shitty
I bought The Art of Splatoon for like 20 bucks and it's infinitely better than the entire Xenoblade X collectors edition, let alone the dinky shitty little arbook.

Love the game still but fuck that collectors edition is just not good.

The first Blade has a bunch of scenery porn, there just isn't a whole lot of content spread around the maps to fill it out.

The tracks with lyrics are off putting at first but after hearing it a dozen times it's not that bad. The non lyric tracks are really great though.

>Also 2 and X become cooler as you get towards the end while 1's the reverse where the last act is the worst part of the game
So I didn't miss out anything by stopping around mechonis field?
I liked it but I stopped playing around there, because I got busy with other shit and never picked it up again.

The concept is nice but they didn't do a good job with the 3D human models.

Did you pick up that one formula skell figure?

The EU CE came with a big ass poster/map.
Almost worth it

I still don't get how the online features in X works.

>the sidequests in 1 are bad
>meanwhile, 2's are good
what the fuck is wrong with you

>People suddenly praising X
Did Xenoblade get a Zelda cycle?

But X was absolutely shit.

> Zero reason to remove Lin and Elma from party because they will be underleveled for main quests.

>Hurrr aliens killed my family so I hate humanity??????

>World becomes incredibly small once you get the flight module.

>Music is horrible and all sounds the same.

The rare Blade sidequests are all better than any of 1's.

Storywise, you missed everything. The plot really picks up by the end of the game. The problem is that the zones after Mechonis are fucking shit.

>suddenly

The plot goes full Xenogears after the fight with Egil in the core.
