Xenoblade Chronicles looks like something I would totally play
Neither
Xenoblade will be a decent game weird people will jerk off to.How weird? I’m a Huelen/10.
Sonic is a bad game even weirder people jerk off to.
The question is: how weird are you?
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 appears to be an actual video game with more than 20 minutes of game play.
On the other hand, it doesn't have amazing story like this:

Tough decision for sure. :thinking
Actually buying Sonic Forces
:trigger
I'm happy I don't know a single Sonic fan in real life.
just say you like a shitty game damn
:success
I will buy Sonic Forces when it's in a humble bundle for 5 bucks
still need to get LOST WORLD tho!
Yes, because you cant attack and move at the same time. Like, uhhhh wat
Why does everyone seem to dislike this Xenoblade whereas everyone seemed to like the one on Wii U? What's the difference?
I'd play Xenoblade 2 if it's art style and voice acting didn't seem putrid to me.
it does but I'm not understanding how it's different from literally every single other jrpg

The english VA is so terrible. God damn

it does but I'm not understanding how it's different from literally every single other jrpgMaybe because I'm lame, but most high quality jrpgs do not have s shitty art direction as this game. I mean I'm sorry but games like Persona, Final Fantasy, Nier, and Lost Odyssey have a less super anime art style while being clearly Japanese. Even the "anime" games like Valkyria Chronicles and some Tales game character designs, mechanical designs, and overall art direction that makes things at least look cool. Everything in this game looks lame.
Instead of fixating on the silly animu aesthetics, can someone who's already playing this game tell me if it's actually good otherwise? Gameplay, decent narrative... Does it have the same throw-away side-quests the first one had?
everything i've seen so far says the game is fucking great
Current Tales of is painfully generic, but for some reason I thought the Team Symphonia games were still okay (despite generally dumb clothes for all). :yeshrug It hadn't yet entered modern animu as much as the above at that point.

whole lot of angry incels flipping their shiz over this trash char design getting called out. :doge
Based on that character design I'd like to bestow upon the game, all the Game Awards! You deserve it Xenoblade 2.
10/10. (Especially the Games for Impact one.)
So far I think its the worst xenoblade.Yeah, I'm not too hot on it either right now.

Trails of Cold Steel 3 will change your mind. I'm so excited to play that. At least the english VA know how to scream
Da fuck? Falcom games have lower budgets for a reason, breh. They don't have tons of money and they make games for portable systems or that were made like ten years ago for the price of a craft service table that are just now being fucking released in America or on PC.I like Falcom games. Love Ys. I don't like when Ys has a story though.
Yeah Ys VIII...was...uh. What about the Vita one? That looks cool. Should I try that. I know it has story but is it fun?Ys Seven is a good game, although it would be better with fewer conversations. Same goes for Celceta.
I don't think the game looks good graphically either way you slice it.
playing any jrpg with english voice acting is an insta-failFinal Fantasy XII.

Didn't XCX also struggle with not explaining the mechanics and desperately needing a manual?
Look who I got last night. Bonus: she has a Southern accent. I'm so straight right now.

dammit, you dudes got me hyped for this now. might pick it up this weekendSo, have you succumbed yet? Did you indulge over the weekend?
my backlog :stahp
Shorthand for aggression aka when the enemy is targeting a particular character. You want your tank to draw the enemy's attention as often as possible as they are more durable than your other characters.

I don't think I'm at the point where I have tanks yet?
Yeah I got Tora and Poppi. I thought you meant something different, like a real tank :P"Tank" is not XBC2 specific vocabulary. It's from the old ages of RPGs. Tank and spank. Recruit a meat shield that is so heinously obnoxious that an enemy can't help but beat their ass with ever-growing enthusiasm, then amass as many damage dealers (dps) as possible to kill the enemy, plus maybe a healer or two so the Tank will survive getting their shit pushed back in for long enough. It's the holy trinity of RPG party game design. Most MMOs feature some sort of this setup, even the ones that claim they don't.
The nomenclature in the Xeno games is a bit weird to me even after all this time :P
Also do I need to do the gatcha stuff (rare blades) to be successful or can I just grind things out? Do you ever get more rare crystals? I used one up and got shit from it.
This is the weebest thing I've ever played in my life holy shit. :rofl
Just had Xenoblade crash on me after not saving for about an hour.
Cool.
Started this last night
once you get to pyra I can confirm this game is maximum anime
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is easily in the top 3 JRPGs I've played in the past few years, only games that really come close are Final Fantasy 15 and Persona 5. I'm in Chapter 6 right now and the game is moving along at a pretty good pace, but it still gives you plenty of room to go off and do other stuff. I've got just over 40 hours in this so far and still feels like I've got a ways to go before I reach the end-game, so I'm happy with the amount of content the game has. I think somewhere earlier in the thread was saying that maybe the game was rushed a bit, but I don't get that feeling at all. Everything feels pretty fleshed out and handled well, with lots to do and see.
The sidequests get exponentially more obnoxious as you get further into the game.
On a positive note, I got Dahlia tonight :uguu
Despite getting a continuous flow of rare and sometimes legendary crystals, I haven’t received a non-story related rare blade in a while. Just a bunch of toilet tier blades. Hardly seems worth it to bond with any crystals.
Huh, I don’t really understand the merc system yet.
This and other Xenoblade games are dubbed "action RPGs," but is there any point to actually moving around during fights? I notice I still get damage when doing so.
Huh, I don’t really understand the merc system yet.
There's not much to it, you just send blades on missions and wait X minutes then collect the rewards. The more recommended skills you match up when picking blades for a mission, the shorter the amount of time it takes. Pink missions are one-time missions (they generally offer the best rewards) and blue ones can be repeated.
And the rare hasty potion grab to force Nia to finally stop running around and start healing.This and other Xenoblade games are dubbed "action RPGs," but is there any point to actually moving around during fights? I notice I still get damage when doing so.
Just for readjusting to do back/sideattacks.

The other excuse to do Merc missions is that, as your blades get more skills, the character attached to that blade get more idea points. And, supposedly, with more idea points you get better chance to get a rare blade. Of course the gatcha is so fucked up that you can get a 1 crown common blade with a rare core while your idea Level is 9 in every category.
Where can you even check idea points?It's the "Thought Cloud" graph under Characters. Choose a driver then navigate to the appropriate sub-page by pressing L/R a couple of times.

A release window and details regarding Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s next patch have arrived. The 1.3.0 update will be released around the middle of February 2018. This patch will add the ability to begin a new game plus file and fix an issue with a certain Driver’s Blades disappearing after a certain point in the game due to a 1.2.0 patch problem.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s new game plus mode is being called “Advanced New Game.” The official website does not mention what will carry over in it.
The bug regarding the missing Blades is one that can occur in Chapter 7, then continue through the rest of the game. If a specific Driver has a Blade equipped, then that Blade can disappear from the Blade list due to certain action. It has not been accidentally released or deleted, but it no longer appears in the list. 1.3.0 will make sure this does not happen and the Blades all remain in the list.
Up to chapter 9 and some of the battles are getting pretty frustrating (not to mention the skill checks too)...at level 66 now... so I'll go back and catch up on sidequests and blade quests for a bit... I think I'm missing like 10 gatcha blades.
I need to get to level 5 affinity quickly for 2 of my blades to unlock their quests... any easy way to grind affinity?
They datamined the rare blade drops, KOS-MOS is of course the lowest:
