Well, I'm not surprised

Good think the Switch emulators are being updated again.

No point in emulating if I can't play online from the emulator.

How do you think people have been playing X online nowadays? Not that the online in X has ever mattered at all beyond "Reward Tickets".

So you can play online with CEMU if you dump keys from hardware. I could not do that though. So yes I ended up cheating tickets in (didn't feel bad about it).
But I really wanted to engage in the online aspect. I never had a Wii U so I never could do this.
None of the Switch emulators have online support.
That's why I will pay $60 in March.

Good think

I am. No reason for this game to exist. Going to pull in less numbers then 3 did. Also no good word of mouth to boost it. It is going to be 500k to 700k at best. They would have done better just going ahead with an X2 on Switch 2 and not bothering. Once this flops and it will, Kojima is going to be laughed out of the office and no one will listen to him when he demands an X2.

Kojima

Kek, based retard

This coming out so laughably late just comes across to me Nintendo having just sat on this for a while and waiting to use it to pad out an otherwise dire release gap. This is 100% going to get FE Echoes'd, even if Nintendo waits until the last fucking second (March 31st) to reveal the Switch 2.

Koh Kojima, the director of the Xenoblade games. Takahashi has never said he wants to make a sequel to X, while Kojima has.

March in general is a death spot. Nintendo knows it won't do well.

I feel you might be right. They should have tried adding X1-3 crossover outfits to real the fanboys in at least.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions tried that to compensate for the censorship in addition to more side quests. Game was still a flop cause nothing sells better than titties.

what are they gonna censor?

dumb secondary

They'll probably use the censored version as a base since that already had the dlc baked in and that censored Lynn's bikini's and the boob slider.

Yeah I knew this was coming sooner or later, but goddamn its so tiresome trying a 3d game on my shitch and having to play at sub 30fps sub 720p holy fuck.
I'm tired of emulating, I just want to use my shitty tablet to play on bed, I'll take 720p vut give me 60fps at least aaaaaa.
God I hate this shit tablet so fucking bad, if games weren't literally free I wouldn't own one

I don't really understand how they're so out of touch with their audience. I'd consider giving the game a try if it was the Japanese version but I have zero interest in the censored American version. This honestly deserves to flop if they're going to continue to be so bullheadedly retarded.

I guess the rumors about the switch 2 were just rumors. This is one LATE release.

I think this will do about the same as 1DE. Since it was stuck on the Wii U a lot of people haven't played it so to them this is just a completely new game. I have a friend that's played 1, 2 and 3 but never X because he didn't have a Wii U and he's insanely excited about the news.

It's about having a unified version I think. Western censorship affecting the Japanese versions mostly started being a thing with worldwide releases. Back when Japs would get the game and then the English version would pop out 1-2 years later we didn't really have that issue.

If you want 60fps then just wait to play it on the Switch 2

I doubt this will be better than just emulating the original version at 4k with an fps patch

What's the point of making your own avatar in this game if you're not even the main character?

Why not both?

I feel like it's a wast to not allow this to be a Switch2 launch game. Same with Prime 4.

does the switch 2 not have BC?

Yeah, honestly since it's still censored, I'll probably pass on it. I'm not even saying I want to make a female character with fat tits or stick Lin in a bikini, but I don't want them to think they can ruin a game with censorship and I'll still support it like a good goy.

Plus, and this is the bigger reason, I'm not all that interested in replaying Xenoblade X. I got to the point where I could get my Skell Flight license, flew to the other two continents that were too far, then got bored with how much random shit there was to do. None of the characters gelled with me, the plot didn't hook me. Going off XC1, it was a mild disappointment, BUT I was willing to try it again.

Not anymore.

So the guy who voices that guy died from COVID right? You know who I'm talking about.

I guess we can safely assume that XC2 Definitive Edition for Switch 2 is inevitable at this point, and it's going to be censored to shit. Now that I think about it, it's already a miracle how XC2 got past Nintendo's censorship in the first place.

Not liking X is fine, I just don't really get the support argument when you can just emulate it. Hell, even if you want to play handheld you can still pirate it on an actual switch.

Already confirmed to be the censored western version.

Creating the perfect vessel to be an Elma person.

Wasn't the original already censored? So this like, double censored?

Please! Please! Please for the love of god!
Let this be uncensored. And let it have dual audio.

Fuck NoA!

Luv meself a good think

Are you retarded?

They said it's based off the Western version but then goes on to say that it has the DLC baked in, which is what the Western had

Maybe that's all they were getting at and it was a misinterpretation. The DLC is in but they will still have the features of the Japanese version with the customization. One can hope...

I played the game on Wii U, but don't actually have it so I might buy it. Though I wish they could stir up some positive interest by loosening the censorship a little, but it's probably like with TMS.and they don't want to ever admit they were wrong about something. Interesting that Lin implies that Earth disappeared in light more than it was destroyed. I wonder if they'll retcon or clarify anything to make it match the series more.

Well, yeah. It is.

This is cope

Yeah but Takahashi also told us XB2 was not connected to XB1 before release. Its a troll move to hide the twist. The new story content will obviously connect to the other titles.

Every Nintendo game on Switch with full voice acting has had dual audio.

Everyone is getting the censored version even japs,it started with that fe smt game no one bought.

That dialogue is straight from the original. You never saw the Earth clearly blowing up.

Like with 1DE there's a new epilogue and will probably be substantial QOL features.

This game utilizes the western version of xenoblade chronicles X that was originally released for the Wii U as its base, and it will be a unified version worldwide

This is what it says in the Japanese page. There is no real room for interpretation. I think you're tripping.

nooooo you cant lewd the cunny its shit! its censored!!

...really?

You now remember the random Xenoblade X reference in the western version of Danganronpa V3.

The new story content might be just to tie in the lose ends that the original game had, considering that it leaves a lot open for a sequel that never happened and will obviously never happen. So yeah, in the end, it was a standalone.

I mean it is. Even if there are some connections, the story off X really has fuck all to do with what's going on in the other games. The only hard plot relevance is the strong implication that Earth didn't blow up, it was split by Klaus' experiment.

I am. No reason for this game to exist. Going to pull in less numbers then 3 did.

lol there are countless casual fans that don't even consider emulation as an option, especially for recent (not retro) consoles like the Wii U. Soo many new fans came aboard way later after X also. I genuinely think it can nearly match 1DE and 3 sales easily, just on the fact that it's expanding on some story elements.

That's a terrible idea. First off, 2 hardly has anything worth censoring. Second, I would rather play original XC2 with it's old graphics, field skills, Tiger!Tiger! and gacha bullcrap over having all of that be modified, but now all the females are covered head to toe.

Well, they used to joke that X is actually 10 in Roman numerals but that might actually be true after all. We'll get XC4 to XC9 eventually

That guy is either shitposting or coping. No matter how you feel about this game, it's pretty fucking obvious it will sell like hotcakes to the average audience.

XCX already has plenty of loose ends that should be tied up before attempting to connect to the numbered games, and I feel like trying too hard to connect it to 1-3 might feel forced, for example:

Samaarians were actually the humans from the post-Aionios fused world

Mira is actually the ruins of the fused world a long time later, and Primordia’s Titan Rock is Uraya

The Orbital Ring and Rhadamanthus were actually there in X’s opening all along, we just don’t see them since the cutscene isn’t changed

These sound very forced, although I expect Takahashi to do it better

NPC reply

runs terribly even in the trailer

Should've saved it for Switch 2.

I'm really surprised we got it now, it really seemed like X was a sure-fire for the switch 2

I really wonder what's going on with the switch 2. Everyone's just waiting for it but it's just not happening at all and Nintendo is still dragging things out

WHEN AND WHERE WAS THIS ANNOUNCED
DID I MISS A DIRECT????

I don't even know what to think. I thought the switch was on its last legs but then they announce this. Do they just want the switch to be here for ever or what

I told myself I wasn't going to buy a Switch 2 unless it got either a remaster or sequel for XCX, now it's looking pretty unlikely.

avoiding a wii u scenario and creating a new gimmick for the console hybrid. unless there's a bad economy going on and console manufacturers are suffering due to minerals use to make hardware.

the switch 2

at this point it doesnt exist. nintendo is gonna announce that shit a year before the next generation. fucking christ

Yeah, they announced Mario Galaxy 3 and F Zero GX Remastered and a bunch of farming games

Sooo, any words on a Collector's edition? you know, one where you(ll have to fight teeth and shit to maybe (not) get one on Nintendo's own shitty website.

I hope they actually keep it standalone, but throw it heavy references at the very end. Like pre-invasion they (not Klaus) were reverse-engineering the conduit at the Aeacus tower instead of Rhadamanthus. What they end up producing was the lifehold tech. More references that has player compare/contrast the world of Mira, and the world of Origin in xbc3. In retrospective they do seem kind of similar, it's just that the people in X didn't build it, and more so were tossed into it like the other ayys.

and Nintendo is still dragging things out

Why wouldn't they? The switch is still selling like hotcakes and no one other then journalists really want the switch 2 right now.

CRINGE KINO IS BACK

WILL THIS HAVE DUAL AUDIO

I mean the only reason I don't want a switch 2 is because then games will start coming out for it instead of switch. Games being on switch means I can pirate them.

I don't think Nintendo is very sympathetic for my specific reasoning though...

Censored trash

and store fronts will slowly remove old switch games for new games overtime. where do games unsold go to?

im not buying if the story is still shit. That cliffhanger ending pissed me off

Video game graveyard?

switch

What is even the point of this "definitive edition" it's going to look just as bad on the original hardware.
Emulators made it look good even when it was on wii

546345645361.jpg - 3840x2160, 3.15M

I'm only interested in this if they make enough changes and new content. But we all know well get one 3 hour side mission and thats it.

Probably won't even be any changes or quality of life shit added.

I will literally kill tendies on the street if they do the Treehouse shit again.

So you can emulate it and make it look good again, except the faces won't look like ass anymore.

But it looks better.
They don't like potato faces anymore

I won't be surprised if it runs worse on switch and its emulators.

Jesus fucking christ...Elma is absolutely ruined.

I really hope they can tone down the censorship at least a little because it was at a time where it was really out of control. I don't think Japanese fans would appreciate them censoring the fundoshi in their release.

2UxXipa.jpg - 1280x720, 818.12K

Switch 2017
Next gen 2020 ~ 3 years

Switch 2 2025
Next gen 2028 ~ 3 years

I guess that's the only improvement.
Also I wonder how they are going to handle the touch screen features and the MMO faction missions.

87967895.jpg - 3840x2160, 1.78M

It's also adding some more story bits I guess, should be good.

create cliffhanger ending

leave it unresolved for 9 years while working on Xenoblade 2 and 3

The Xenoblade 3 DLC story was kino as fuck but god damn yeah I'm not buying this if Lao is still just lying there on the beach with life pumping through his veins without any explanation

Soul removal...

It literally looks worse, all they did was change faces and downgrade graphics.

I will kill everyone in this thread if they will keep calling Dolls skell.

They just add some mod to add back in the boob and censored content. It would probably run better on a emulator.

vgh... sovl...

I actually really hated the human combat in this game and was about to drop it but then I unlocked the mechas and the mecha combat is great. I never fought on foot again. And on the final boss where it forces you off the mecha, I found a way to cheese not being forced out.

Reminder that if you played with Japanese voices, Lao's original voice actor died from covid. Dude was such a legend.

You had 9 years to learn anon...

Looks like they changed dialogues too

What is even the point of this "definitive edition" it's going to look just as bad on the original hardware.

How did standards get set so low that graphics are what people look forward to.

That's what I'm wondering. They're gonna have to redo all that and more. Guaranteed it'll be given a new look like 1DE.
Anticipating a Direct Mini showcasing all this hopefully around January. (Unless they pull another fast one and release this early)

Instead of potatoes they look like garlic. They kinda look good but I wouldn't say it's much of an upgrade.

It's a trailer so it wasn't 1:1

The original release had no dual audio, censored outfits, removed chest and height sliders, and probably a lot more that I can't remember. Please don't buy this if all of that still remains the same. What's the benefit of a character creator that arbitrarily removes customization options? Is young anime girls simply existing illegal or something? The last time I checked, this isn't an R18 porn game. I wonder how the Japanese audience is going to take this news. The "definitive" version is one that applies nonsense American censorship, yeah that makes a lot of sense. This game is trapped under so much baggage like being on the Wii U and all the censorship so you would think that the definitive version would finally fix everything.

Can't wait to see this dude slaughter a new generation.

"HURR DURR The Schitch CAN'T and will NEVER be able to handle Xenoblade X"
*crickets*

I'm sick. So fucking sick of these retards spouting this nonsense for 7 (seven, sieben, sept) FUCKING YEARS. When it was obvious the Switch was more powerful than the Wii U from the get-go.
And these retards, instead of killing themselves like how it should be, are likely posting in this very thread feigning innocence.

Keiji....

And i am not learning a fucking name that literally exists because one localizator thought it's funny because it sounds like skeleton.

Please don't buy this if all of that still remains the same.

no, still buying :)

And i am not learning a fucking name that literally exists

Oh no I meant Japanese.

I still don't get why people are surprised or freak out at that. What, was this their first vidya? Did they also freak out when old ruined guardians woke up in BotW? Even my fucking 12yo nephew wasn't surprised since it's so fucking obvious.

XENOGODS WE ARE BACK!!!

WHO /GALACTICKNIGHT/ HERE???

Anything to do with religion removed, whole dialogues removed in Fates style, Lin...
It was a mess. Nintendo in that time was completely retarded. I hope they fixed their ways.

cute chink got cuter

How hard are the XCX superbosses? I find the superbosses in XC2 and XC3 to be a joke, at least on normal difficulty.

I was always here!!!
Everyone that isn't Mastema Team CAN SUCK MY DICK

XCX just clicks with some people, but with some people it don't. It's a heavy dose of SF tropes, weird animes trope, absurdly good overworld design, and hardcore JPRG. Also mechs.

If you're not one to want to grind 8 hours to get a fucking cool alien lightsabers by killing the same xenos lions in an absurdly impressive location, it's not for you.

No shame on that. It's a weird game. But if you like it, you really, REALLY like it. I was astonished how I liked it once I emulated it, it took me by fucking surprise.

normal

?

Anyway, they are not very hard. They can be pretty fun though, especially if you're a mecha enjoyer.

Hopefully Monolithsoft can at least find workarounds like if Lin's outfits must be censored they can be altered to slightly cover her more instead of that stupid black thing underneath. There's really no excuse to not have height and breast sliders though. Maybe tone down how large breasts can get or something as a compromise. I really want to know how good or bad this can get after TMS changed nothing with its release and bombed horribly.

Lin still looks like a potato, as she should.

Why end of March and not Jan/Feb fucks sake

What do they even have coming anymore? Pokemon TBA Metroid TBA Xenoblade Late March

I wonder if they'll retcon or clarify anything to make it match the series more.

They mentioned clarifying who the mystery nigger at the end of the game is. 100% chance it is a character from Saga or Blade 2/3 despite the fact it clearly wasn't before.

you consoomers disgust me man
extreme amounts of cope yet you'll still give them money

She's a cute potato now at least.

It's jank kino, and I love it.

X.jpg - 1240x676, 521.28K

What games are you looking forward to anon.

when it was on wii

It wasn't.

I'm hype as fuck for this game. The original took a while but it clicked hard with me after like 20 hours and now I actually love it. I want to replay it with different visuals and see what's the new stuff about.

All that said, I'll pirate it.

switch is so weak it cannot do shadows

Everyone always says the Switch is like 2-3x as powerful as a Wii U, but I've yet to see it. Even when BOTW first came out, it had stable framerates on Wii U while it dropped to 20fps on Switch in some areas because the Switch couldn't handle the heat.

Wii U, same shit. Who cares.
You know perfectly well what I meant.

56475675467.jpg - 3840x2160, 641.64K

*infinite Overdrive*

Even easier than in any Xenoblade, kek

yall ready for FORCED LIN AND ELMA MISSIONS when you have 16 different party members to choose from???

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

anyone else see it?

Xenoblade 2 was already censored and no one cared about it because only SOME censorship matters.

Even when BOTW first came out, it had stable framerates on Wii U while it dropped to 20fps on Switch in some areas because the Switch couldn't handle the heat.

You know that's never been true right? The frames dropped harder and more frequently on the Wii U version than it did on the switch version even pre patch.

ATTENTION: All Prospectors are cheating WHORES. Pathfinder chads rise up before they can cheat to the top again. We will be waiting.

I hope to god they fixed the GODAWFUL pop-in that is literally PSX-tier. Embarrassingly bad. Monsters poping in your face 2m from you at times, what the fuck.

It's because Xeno 2 was never censored, the closest thing to censorship was a handful of dialogue changes.

Don't think 2 had localization censorship. If it was censored it was global or rather at a development stage, in which case it would be more like self censorship (arguable if you can even call it censorship) as opposed to any agency telling them to fix X or Y.

Unless you mean text stuff. In which case yeah, it had a few I guess.

Censoring sexual jokes is censorship.

I know this game is kinda infamous for having mechs that are a damage downgrade from being on foot.
Do you at least go between the two or are the mechs just glorified cars?

Everyone always says the Switch is like 2-3x as powerful as a Wii U

they're retarded. there's zero evidence of this and BOTW is the best example since it's the best looking swirch game(also on wii U)

crimson desert

the visuals are 99% the same and the remaining 1% is mostly not good changes. at least you're pirating it, nothing wrong with that.

No, no it isn't.

They wouldn't have showed that shit in the reveal trailer if they didn't intend to follow up on it, that scene only means a thing to people who played the original and were begging for some kind of resolution.

Eat my dick, pathfinder cuck. Interceptor chads, where you at?

Nah man, when you get Massive sword on your Mastema and then smash it over the head of some alien fucking shit...you are never walking barefoot again.

he didn't download the data packs.

Pop in only happened when entering an area and it was textures only.

Out of the top of my head, they kept the dick joke which is 亀頭 in jap and one-eyed snake in the English. What jokes did they censor?

The mechas are still absolute gods, it's just that there are some cheese builds for foot that go beyond. Still, you can play the full game on mecha and never feel like you lack damage. Not even a little bit. The mechas are GOOD. And you can mostly change between them at will.

Breastfeeding slider wasn't removed because booties too big it was removed in conjunction with height slider restrictions because Nintendo fears the oppai loli

We'll probably get another continent if the 2 and 3 dlc and future connected are anything to go by

Reminder that we humans are Absolute CHADS in this universe. Every single alien fucking shit species is below us in strenght, technology, everything.

I get some crazy pop-in on emulator but I also play like this so it's probably my fault.

What jokes did they censor?

He's probably talking about the one Dog mode heart to heart.

This. Also, female wrothians owe me coitus.

HELLO IS THIS THING ON

why does it look so..ugly

Wii U game

Still runs better and looks more graphically impressive than the ENTIRETY of the Switch library and it came out in 2015

How did they do it?? Will XBCX finally get the recognition it deserves this time and have a chance at GOTY for 2025?

I'm just curious about what will change and what will remain the same because when faced with censorship in the past Monolithsoft found workarounds like Mythra's leggings and they're working on the base version for the of the game so even if stuff is still censored they have more ability to at least not make it looking fucking stupid like Lin's black thing.

Do you think the diskbomb glitch will be fixed in DE?

There's something about this planet.

>Still runs better and looks more graphically impressive than the ENTIRETY of the Switch library and it came out in 2015

You're looking at the switch trailer. The Wii U version didn't hold a candle to xeno 1 on Wii.

BASED BASED BASED
Only BIG HUMAN COCK Can penetrate through those Massive asses.

Mechs are decentish for small creatures your character can fight on foot. They're a boost in DPS, but on the tone of 4 or 5? They do provide an absolute boost, and once you get one you can use them for though fight, but not so much that combat on small creature loses its fun. It's a very though balance, which is struck there.

Mechs somewhat trivializes small creatures combats, but not so much that they really trivializes it, and you will be getting out of your mech just for the fun of it or the gameplay or the levels quite frequently. That's part of the XCX magic/balance.

Mechs gives you a level playing field to large creatures, which are Godzillas, and which you simply cannot fight without mechs (you're one shotted).

Monolithsoft found workarounds like Mythra's leggings

Anon, that was a design made by the smash team that was added back into xeno 2.

In the sleepwalking scene, Byakko is supposed to gush over Hikari's outfit, but instead the localization turned it into him chastising Gramps for his comments.

Primordia's day theme is essential explorercore.

Only BIG HUMAN COCK

I mean isn't the human average like 5 inches? That's laughable.

The Wii U version didn't hold a candle to xeno 1 on Wii.

This. I remember when Xeno 1 first came out. 1080p on the Wii? Friggin mind blowing.

You are very ignorant of the Switch library if you believe this, and I don't doubt you're not counting anything that isn't exclusive

and they're working on the base version

this is another thing I hate about you coomers, you take everything devs say at face value when evidence contrary to what they say is plain in view. like people saying the FF8 remaster would be good and worth buying because "the original team" came back to work on it, yeah I'm sure they wanted it to look and play worse than the original did, they definitely didn't outsource it to some shitty studio.
the original devs already censored it once, they'll censor it more if anything

Humans aren't the worst on the size/cock ratio but we are far from the highest either.
Poor gorillas.

Are they keeping these costumes?

54675675.jpg - 1920x1080, 489.06K

Mims have horse sized cocks by default to impregnante All Alien species

Reminder that's literally only the case because mommy Elma took pity on us and decided to make us her pets. .... Or whatever the hell her motivation is, I hope they actually explain it this time.

These are the costumes you should care about.

look generic and boring.
yawn

Switch games look like ASS and only tendies that don't play on a PC or any other console actually thinks their games look good

they'll censor it more if anything

Anon, there hasn't been a single censored first party switch game to date why on earth would they censor one of the last games on the system

battle pass players vs f2p

What's this fucking faggot shit?

coomers first costume

I'll stick to the amusing ones and suits.

Actual botposting

Finally, all the Xfags that come into every single Xenoblade thread to whine if you don't put it at the top of your favourites can have their own threads.

I don't see this doing very well, but hopefully it didn't cost much to port.

KILL ALL MANON!

It was Japan before they fell. Not that guy, but honestly JP has been putting out ass the last 5 or so years, Final Fantasy too has fallen. Thank god for KINOBLADE, Monolith Soft is still doing great work

that one dude who sacrificed himself because "you guys will just ress me anyway"

the memory banks are destroyed

famicom detective club remakes were.

We actually have the largest penis-to-size ratio of all primates, just for the same reason the human female have the largest breast size of all primates. And the cutest features.

Natural selection was HARD on our specie when we developed sapience. Our females have kept a retarded amount of neoteny that no other primates keep. We kept a big dick.

She a party member this time, I BELIEVE IT! They will fix everything!

No, no they weren't.

Xenoblade chronicles X is good because... I HATE THE POPULAR THING

Why are X fags like this?

Why does XC3 look so much worse than XCX from the graphics down to the map design? Did Monolith Soft lose their touch?

Then explain the human average being something puny like 5 inches when you still have humans who are between 7 and 8. Shouldn't we be only at the 7-8 margin then by your argument?

NTA but the most there were dialogue changes.

wah wah wah muh sales bad game doesn't need to exist if sales bad wah wah wah
what possesses somebody to be this whiny and soulless? who gives a fucking rats ass how much a game sells you absolute nigger buffoon
I couldn't give less of a shit about braindead nigger cattle garbage like CoD or FIFA and I enjoyed free RPG maker games or fan projects/romhacks that didn't get a single "sale"
NOBODY WITH A SOUL CARES ABOUT THIS SHIT PLEASE KILL YOURSELF

Don't you find some NPCs talking about that shit too? All like "I mis my husband but I'll se him again"

Because wiiu was strong!

Man I can't wait until they fix that.

what is wrong

There's no argument. I'm just telling you how it is, given the studies we made.

Then explain the human average being something puny like 5 inches

Punny? Punny? PUNNY? Given our size? Our height? PUNNY?!!

Did Monolith Soft lose their touch?

yea so did Nintendo as a whole, hell Japan as a whole

kicks homo flag

based

Yes. When you have humans who are 7-8 (not counting the absolute freaks who reach 9 like that mendigo dude) 5 is puny. I'm talking within our own race here. If natural selection worked like you said, our average wouldn't be 5, it would be higher and closer to our max potential.

do you actually believe in evolution

You dont know what youre talking about. In terms of endgame, on foot outpaces mech damage no matter what because augments are absolutely broken. you get a power spike from mechs throughout the story but at some point it is indeed a glorified car.
You cannot fight The Endbringer with a mech, you one shot it or get blown up quickly. Only when you first get ares 90 do you feel like mechs are OP.

Run it on your desktop and stream locally
It is absolutely sub-optimal, but local stream won't have much latency, and so long as you take care configuring your compression/bitrate to just barely stay in limitations of your wifi, it shouldn't look too bad.

fast travel to this area

the weather

fast travel there again

Scoreboard changes just as he obliterates the homo flag

Kino

considering that it leaves a lot open for a sequel that never happened and will obviously never happen

the confidence you have when talking about shit you know nothing about is almost admirable, does your uncle work at Nintendo?

as far as we know the only reason this port even happened was to get the game out of Wii U jail and into a platform people actually own so they can finally get to work on the sequel.

I didn't even notice it was a homo flag

Ga Buidhe absolutely feels like she was supposed to be recruitable.

That's just your cope. It's been 9 years. Open your eyes.

Curious to see how it does. X was really technically impressive and had great online features, it was just trapped on a dead system. I aint expecting it to sell gangbusters, but I wonder if it will reach the same level as 3 for instance.

I don't care that I can no longer put the 13 year old in skimpy outfits. This is because I am not a pedophile. Good luck trying to argue about this game and censorship because it's not going to look good on you.

literally weilding a PSO Partisan

XBX is a stealth sequel to PSO and no one can convince me otberwise

I don't think you understand the problem here, figuring out the mechanical pile of rubble is an enemy is the least of your worries. Go-rha is still expected to wreck you at least a few times during your playthrough, even after you spend several hours grinding for materials to get your Ares 90.

top contender for "10/10 overlooked girl stuck in forgotten game"

I will piss on Nintendo Labo if this one also has the boob slider removed

This doomposting is unreal. The censorship in X is nothing like "covering the women head to toe"

that trailer ending with Lao on the beach

X2 confirmed Switch 2. The leaks were true about DE being switch and X2 being the game that shows off the network capabilities of the next console as a Destiny2 style MMOlite.

I don't really care because I want to see the crazy side missions again then break the game and overdrive ghostmoonwalk my way through post game.

start drinking some water lmao

It uses the censored western version as a base so you might as well do it now.

It's different. I can't even tell whose voice it is.

It's the first game since 1999 to really grasp that futuristic serious feel that PSO had. Even PSO2 couldn't recapture the tone that PSO set. X is the only game I've seen come close in tone.

Good luck trying to argue about this game and censorship because it's not going to look good on you.

You're the reason they get away with it. Censoring an artistic vision is NEVER correct.

My beautiful chocolate tomboy wife Alexa. I am finally going home to you.

So is the decensored WiiU completely decensored or are there things that were so fucked/removed they couldnt do anything about it?

I don't think anybody fixed up the atrocious localization

They also screwed you out of making breasts larger. So I couldn't make my Lamia Loveless expy.

I'm sure Takahashi is secretly seething about his vision being ruined because you can no longer put Lin in a bikini.

Why would it be? Monolith previously said they weren't doing an X Switch port because it was expensive and resource-intensive. If they're finally doing it and they're adding more story, there's a good chance it's to prepare for a sequel. Not to mention it's the same thing they did with Xenoblade DE -> 3.

Damn that looks sick, which SRW is that?

game about humanity fleeing the destruction of their home world in a colony ship forced to fight aliens wjth guns and lightsabers and everyone is playing as a robot

Literally PSO

The touch screen features were already handled if you ever played the game purely on the gamepad
You're never going to be using it while playing, and it fuckin turns off whenever you're doing literally anything that isn't just standing around using it
It can just be a menu option

That's the real issue right there. End of the day eye candy is just eye candy. It sucks that they fucked with it, sure, but actual content being fucked is the real crime.

Monolith previously said they weren't doing an X Switch port because it was expensive and resource-intensive

That would be why it looks virtually the same but with worse graphics. They decided to spend no money.

Looks like 'The Moon Dwellers'

Except that there was never any doubt 3 was a thing, and XC1 wasn't in limbo forgotten for almost a decade.

I know it's absolutely not happening but I do hope they really beef up the story. Shit just happens so suddenly but the game almost expects you to give a shit for absolutely no reason.

Cutscene during the defense of NLA where some random NPC blows up and another says she'll never forget him

This later not only means nothing since the Lifehold was always busted but you never even knew the character that died so who fucking cares?

If it's just a one second teaser of who the guy standing over Lao was I'll be a bit pissed.

You know, you don’t have to defend censorship. You could choose to say nothing especially since the slippery slope has been more than established in the 10 years since this game came out

Localization as in eng dub and some text? Ill just play the undub i understand spoken japanese without much issues.

That one is from Moon Dwellers.

This game is massive under the surface. I can guarantee you that if you're actually doing the side content it has to offer you'd feel more of a connection with a lot of these side characters.

blah blah blah i'm a pedophile blah blah blah

only PS3 and PS4

Well shit. Which one should I play instead for the same feel having only a relatively crappy PC and a Switch?

Assuming you're not just larping, why bother getting an undub? Just play the game in full Japanese if you understand it. If you actually did mean you understand spoken Japanese and only that, then no, you don't.

any special edition announced yet?

I'm sure Monolithsoft gave it their blessing though and everyone loves Mythra's leggings because it was either that or a black void where her undies should be.

Fine. I just want to see how stupid they are to piss off everyone with another TMS and though this will definitely do better with the new story content probably explaining the cliffhanger ending a bit better its still going to be an overall bittersweet experience.

xenoblade 3 is just a shittier version of xenoblade 1 and 2

No, but it's not up for physical preorder yet.

Invest in Candid & Credible stonks. Based Maanons building up an arms manufacturer based on our fantasy & scifi novels and anime.

Don Bogdon.png - 1280x720, 671.02K

To be fair, spoken Japanese is a lot easier to understand, and there's a lot of shit that isn't voiced like all of the menus/UI/etc, and some dialogue.

the seething contrarians are doing their best to boost it while complaining at people who know that X is a pile of smoldering turds.

What? Do you understand how languages even work?

No, questionable if this will get one due to low sales of the original and lack of the same cult following XB1 had.
Feels like this is Nintendo/Takahashi saying they need to get this one out there so people know what the fuck is going on in the next actual new game.

I can guarantee you that if you're actually doing the side content it has to offer you'd feel more of a connection with a lot of these side characters.

No the fuck you won't. Most of those sidequests are literal nothing dogshit and you'll likely forget about the character from it the second you're done outside of the party member quests.

Idea: You can obtain reward tickets offline in XCX DE by scanning amiibo, but only the Xenoblade amiibo (Shulk, Pyra, Mythra, Noah, Mio)

The EN dialogues are borderline comic Sans MS 1998 shittily-scanned doujin rewrites at times. Embarrassingly bad.

substantial QOL features

I hope so. XCX absolutely needed them.

Ew no. If they are gonna add a daily offline way to get it I wouldn't want it to be amiibo.

I have 3 packs of Pyra Mythra and 3 of Mio Noah lol.

They will never fix the localization. And it is censored. This is why i have zero joy with current games. Even the fucking japs are fucking me in the ass

Nah, amiibo locked content like that died with iwata. They'll probably just have ticket shit in the regular shops.

The thing is that a lot of people with surface level understanding they acquired from just watching anime think they "know Japanese but only spoken" because they recognize anime tropey lines here and there. People who actually do understand the language beyond just larping because they watch anime will, in all likelihood, know how to read as well. Either because they properly studied it, or because they immersed themselves to such an extent that goes beyond just anime watching.

So whenever I see someone flexing that they totally understand the language but only spoken language I'll just assume they are larping. The odds are MASSIVELY in my favor with that assumption.

There were amiibo-exclusive outfits (palette swaps of in-game ones, but still) in Echoes of Wisdom last month.

So now it's confirmed 2 is the worst XB game on switch.

Nigger, i know around 3k vocabs and have zero issues reading simple stuff with simple kanji or any manga with furigana. How about you go kill yourself. And i mean it. You have NO idea how langauges work because i can could easily see that the only language you do speak is your mother tongue.

Xeno Warrior soon

Thats honestly probably right but I do still like it a lot.
But fuck was swapping blades for the overworld stuff such shit. Thats really what irks me the most.

outfits

Yeah that's not content, that's a skin.
I'm talking about items, game modes, characters and what not.
If you hadn't noticed that died after about 2017 when the last of the iwata led games released.

Not before Xenoblade Heroes gacha on phones

What if amiibos unlock blueprints for exclusive Skells - Shulk gives a Bionis skell, Pyra and Mythra give a Siren skell, and Noah and Mio give an Ouroboros skell

Nah it's still gonna be X, a touchup to the end of the game's story teaser doesn't make the actual game fun.

I would be pissed it wasn't a quest/achievment award or something.
Any and all amiibo features are just disguised dlc.

People who actually do understand the language beyond just larping because they watch anime will, in all likelihood, know how to read as well

No, like, seriously, take it from someone learning Japanese right now, spoken comes a lot easier. Ideally you'd have spoken+text for the best chance of recognizing the words, but like I said a lot of the text in the game is not spoken and if you don't know the kanji and there is no furigana you're just fucked.

Cute. It's always funny to me how 1 and X was when they had no idea how to make faces.

2 fans were very lucky, honestly.

Not all anime is N5-level of cgdct. Not that you schizo would know.

nta but I always wanted to play x whenever I saw the announcement trailer. It was massive hype. I remember even showing it to my friends in highschool when they were disrespecting the wiiu (I was a diehard nintendie back then). I'm disappointed Xenoblade x wasn't like Titanfall 2 but open world
youtube.com/watch?v=APWTJMyM4qg

Can't tell if joking or retarded

Oh yeah, like XC3 the amiibo rewards would all be unlockable in-game but scanning the amiibo gives you them instantly

Hideo AND Kojima

They wouldn't lock exclusive skells to amiibo, the physical dlc era of Nintendo fucked off years ago. Nowadays you just get early unlocks of skins or just skins in general.

The faces in 2 are only good because the main designs have the flattest, least detailed anime faces ever. Some characters from other artists with more detailed faces were still borked.

Then thats harmless, sure.

Noabros..

Motherfuckers did it. Im so happy

will probably use the ame party unless somebody else catches me interest this time around

I will stick Celica in that one costume with the green skirt, whatever it was called again.

Enjoy height slider removed, boob slider removed, revealing dlc for characters under 18 being removed.

The face animations in 3 are real good sometimes.
The cast has a tendency to stare at things like fucking idiots sometimes though. Which is fair because they are actually pretty stupid in story.

3 wasn't NoA, retard.

height slider removed, boob slider removed, revealing dlc for characters under 18 being removed

fucking whatever man, lmao

Kek.

Potato faces are not fixed

Not a definitive edition like XC1 was

Yeah, and then expect the conditions to unlock them without amiibo in-game to be stuff like:

Survey 90% of Mira

Craft all level 60 skells

Level up all 3 field skills to level 5

Complete 300 basic missions

Defeat Telethia the Endbringer at level 200

hahahahajha exactly bro fuck it hahahaha based zoomerbro kill yourself

You helped him get a gf.

I don't think you remember what the original faces looked like.

The face animations in 3 are real good sometimes.

It's not the whole face, it's the eyes that's why XC2 looked good too.

Such a pointless argument but alright, sure. I'll engage. I speak 3 languages anon. Including Japanese - which I can read, by the way. What next?

That's because you're still in the process of learning. People can have an easier time with different skills. That's entirely fine and it doesn't refute my idea. If someone truly only understands spoken Japanese yet claim to really understand it, the odds that they are larping is extremely high. In your case, you're still learning. It's possible for you to have listening skills that are ahead of your current reading skills. Again, that's fine. But you can still read to an extent. Also, like I said different skills can be in different levels, but too big of a gap is unlikely. So the likelihood that your knowledge of spoken Japanese is at a master/fluent level while your reading is still in preschool is very small.

I played 1, 2, and 3. Still never playing X

1641318789761.png - 625x657, 238.3K

the Switch emulators are being updated again.

Source?

I'm curious how Japan's going to react to the breast slider being removed, and outfits being modified.

Eat shit, zoomer switch tard.

X is according to Takahashi his favorite game in the series and the game he always wanted to make. X is the best game, it has the most love and effort put into it. Fuck the story heavy 1-3 games. X is way better

Depends, do you work for Nintendo?

Elma kind of looks like A/Alvis

X is according to Takahashi his favorite game in the series

I don't give a shit, the game still sucks to play.

Uhn uhn, uhn uhn yeah!

Japanese is at a master/fluent level

nobody ever claimed that you fucking retard.

I'm garbage and don't know how to play Xenoblade games

We know

So does this confirm we won't be getting another Direct this year? This is something that would've been announced in a direct

Not only that, putting master and fluent as the same thing just shows that that guy is the true larper monotongue.

and the game he always wanted to make

Why lie like that on the internet? We already know by interviews that 2 is the game he wanted to make. And it actually shows.

If we get another direct this year I'd expect it to be exclusively about Switch2 and not mention Switch 1 stuff outside of the fact that it might be backwards compatible, and any games lined up for a Next Gen patch if they go that route.

Well we are now, in fact, no longer stuck on a whole different planet

SRW30 is ludokino.

X was the culmination of Monolith's decades of experience with the Power PC architecture that was present on the Wii U. I'm fairly certain that the game uses literally every last drop of power the Wii U is capable of putting out. Meanwhile 2 and 3 are more "experimental" titles that Monolith developed to get experience with using ARM and getting accustomed to developing on the switch itself. They even said that a Switch port of X was "impossible" back when the Switch was new. Evidently, they feel confident enough in their abilities to attempt it now.
Artstyle is also an important consideration. The Switch-era artstyle has a weird mix of over-saturated and under-saturated colors, while X had a more neutral look.

Yeah.

The deathknell is upon us. This is coming out in March, which is a DEAD month. Nothing new is really coming for Switch. It's totally over.

all that "switch 2" buildup just for another port

ohnononono

It's not a lie, the man has spoken on this more than a few times. Xenoblade 1 was literally a beta test for X this has been extremely well documented you fucking moron. We only got 2 because 1 made so much money

Who’s excited to find the blood lobsters all over again?

why the fuck are you worried about ports of ports

No one said their reading was in preschool either. It was just an example to support the statement that a gap too big is unlikely. The fact that your reply was just stuck on the example and didn't actually counter argue anything I said that tells me you had nothing to actually say.

I'll accept it.

So is there a reason they finally decided to do the port/remaster people have been wanting for years?

It's literally just textures sitting on top of meshes.

Caring about a dead console losing "exclusives"

Acting like you can't just emulate two games that weren't even Wii-U games.

Nintendo Switch 2 is being pushed to late 2025 and they need something

They're going to censor all skimpy outfits showing buttocks and shit. You'll see.

In Xenoblade 1, was the "Resort" set supposed to be fundoshi?

I can picture Reyn in one of those sumo thongs.

Going to pull in less numbers then 3 did

Reminder it took xc2 5 years to sell 2.7m and only xc3 8 months to sell 1.8m which means it sold more than five times faster than 2.

I hope to god they reduce Tatsu screentime
I hate that fucking nopon

who cares, I dont think there's a single "definitive edition" that looks better than the originals they all look like shit. I'm sure we'll find out this port looks worse too.

What the hell happened there lmao?

srw30.png - 241x56, 10.52K

Who needs skimpy outfits when you have superior tank tops?

Are there waifus in this game like Fire Emblem or Persona? If not I'm not playing it.

Either X2 is coming and this is to prepare people for that like they did with 1DE or they just finally had enough time/money to get it off the Wii U now that the trilogy is done.

These are not even Wii U games but since switchfags lose their shit so hard for them. i will continue bragging about them. Wii U bros we can't stop winning!

Genuine answer. Next year. Nintendo's been releasing Zelda titles every year since BOTW, so after the release of a new game (Echoes of Wisdom), they'll fill in the schedule with a littler title, which sounds like a rerelease of WW and TP.

It's my fault. I was repeatedly posting on here asking about how to emulate Wii U, should I buy one, etc., in connection with Xenoblade. Nintendo marketers must have assumed I was more than one person.

The framerate is the trailer was already awful
I don't like the "fixed" faces
They won't uncensor it, infact I bet Japanese version will have American censorship

I still have my Wii U so I don't know if I'll get it.

They will. They removed asscracks in the XC1 remaster and that swimsuit is too revealing. The only swimsuits allowed anymore are those with lots of frills and stuff that covers the ass.

What the hell happened there lmao?

They released the prepurchase rewards for people who hadn't prepurchased the game. Which somehow pissed off tons of people.

Yes, and I also hate niggers and trannies.

Here for you anon :)

3OkhPz3.jpg - 627x1204, 97.95K

It sold faster because of 2 you know

It will. Even Japan is censoring their own games now, both the international and japanese version of Persona 3 Reload has "problematic" dialogue censored.

Of course not. The "people" whining about censorship are specifically mad that they can't put scanty bikinis on a child. Elma's a grown ass woman.

They won't uncensor it, infact I bet Japanese version will have American censorship

The developers already said this. Not that it had to be said, anyone with half a brain would know this would happen.

You won't get that swimsuit.

CAN YOU DATE THE PARTY MEMBERS THATS ALL I CARE ABOUT I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT THEYRE WEARING

Did they? Source on this? Haven't seen any interview or whatever expanding on XCX-DE.

elma sucks anyway only simps and cucks like her.

main story 68 hours

lies

mfw I actually understood over half of it

Holy shit am I actually learning???

Weren't you locked out of story progress at times and had to do side shit now and then?
Or am I remembering wrong?

man discovers jrpgs for the first time

Yeah, you did. Mainly survey rate in the region the main story mission took place in.

There was a time when JRPGs going 40 hours or more was very rare.

No way they'd remove the breast slider for the Japs too?

That was a looong while ago old man, get on with the times.

What else would it mean that they're using the western version?

This. XCX DE looks marginally better than the original, mostly just fixing the faces. The pop in is going to be atrocious because of how weak the Switch is. I would've rather waited for a Switch 2 version with better performance. Especially because the online is going to flop again since everyone will be moving on to the Switch 2.

Still going to buy it, though. XCX is my favorite game of all time. It's pure kamige.

That the DLC is baked into it, which is what the West had
But this would make more sense. It'd be extra work to release two versions of the game.

bruh, they used the US/EU censored version for Tokyo Mirage Sessions' Switch Japanese release.

Since around the late 2010s, all the major Japanese publishers have bent over backwards for the west. All games must conform to western sensibilities, straight from the source. Our only saving grace is Japanese indies and small publishers.

That the DLC is baked into it, which is what the West had

That's the second phrase, actually.

file.png - 1542x126, 52.53K

That one was entirely on fatlus pulling a fast one.

Never played XCX, but I'm looking forward to emulating this. Hopefully they don't downgrade anything.

still censored

into the trash it goes

you can look at graphics comparisons it already looks slightly worse though not as bad as the xenoblade 1 "definitive" edition.

It wasn't treehouse censoring their games again it was the developer

So much cope.

Dude, please believe me

With how sega overall and fatlus specifically been handling censorship lately? Yeah, no, that's no cope.

You should try playing Xenoblade 1 on Wii sometimes.

you can look at graphics comparisons

I told you to use your eyes you retard.

Well the general consensus is that Switch 2 is going to be backwards compatible with the Switch 1, so it may end up not being that big of a deal in the end regardless.

Hi, can you link the emulators that re being updated please?

you dont play it on wii, its 2024, you emulate it. The environments look better in the original, that's why you play xenoblade.

Mario with glasses and fake mustache in the thread.

It looks worse because I say it does

You also think vanilla XB1 looked good, your opinion isn't valid

he's right
it's almost a perfect port but they still fucked it up a bit

pros:

better clouds maybe?

rim lighting on characters

AI upscaled textures(base textures haven't been changed that much so the art style lives on)

cons:

worse lighting

worse specular mapping

worse bloom

worse texture effects(dust)

worse shadows(look at them inside of dust)

more blur

AI upscaled textures(textures are now either too smooth or too noisy)

character faces are still not great and that's all that they really changed

Overall I give it a 7/10 which is really high praise from me and this is just looking at graphics. Remasters/ports are usually 2/10 or some shit, literally garbage.

that game looks fine emulated, on Wii it's just lower res

Good job anon. You're making it.

Unless there's some story retcon, the similarities are only surface level and unintended.

Sure bud

XB2 attracted gacha cancer waifufags to the series

3 and X filer them

Good

Right here, brother. I can't wait. The photon saber arts were so beautiful, I can't wait to see how they look now.

Like asbestos.

we've been over this a billion times, I'm bored of it. the environments on the switch demake look worse, the only improvement was the character models but the entire point of xenoblade is the environments.

after reading my post I realize I made it sound worse than it is, I should have said "slightly worse", I apologize to any lurkers

Humans are actually the 3rd least technologically advanced sapient species in XCX. Only the Nopon and the Prone are below us. Our progenitors, the Samaarians, are the most advanced though.

Was there a direct or something? You kids go too fast

I just fucking said

the only improvement was the character models

Then you post a closeup of a face as if that disproves my point.

Wait what the fuck? Where did they announce that? There was no direct right?

They should expand the lobster quest.

No direct, just dropped a trailer on youtube this morning.

They just uploaded it to youtube.

Lobsters outside the city too this time, 100 per region.

And it made that game fucking tank. Surely someone would protest this time?

that's the only part of the model that was change notably
the tit physics were downgraded, even the weapon jiggles were. outfits were censored too.

switch demake

opinion discarded, kys tranny

Remaster face looks like he's doing a 1,000 yard stare.

Can this scene take place at different times of day? It's the only different I'm noticing besides the character models.

Those times are bullshit. It's more like

Main story

85 hours

Main + Sides

140 hours

Completionist

240 hours

Am I actually rotten? I'm pretty hype for this. Will probably have a shit ton of fun with it. Have I fallen?

Make some of them only appear at certain times of day or during certain weather effects. Have Nintendo's legal department send a C&D to anybody attempting to host a guide on how to complete the quest.

all these people hoping for them to tweak annoying parts of the gameplay

Don't get your hopes up. I'm still upset they didn't touch the XC1 AI at all, making Melia still useless as AI

I don't remember a time of day being forced in this one, it just happens whenever you reach NLA for the first time after Elma awakens you from your pod in Primordia.

Nope, no direct. They just announced it on a Tuesday morning with a YouTube video.

Thank for the actual answer
This is more than a slight bummer to you and probably only you.

Can this scene take place at different times of day?

Yes, I think they did that on purpose since that time of day makes the game a lot cooler looking. There are differences if you look closely enough tho. The cat was the smoking gun for me.

tfw none of the other races came in to help, let alone nowhere to be found during all the wars and battles except L because he was a bro and Celica too I guess

humans busting their asses off trying to survive on a time limit and these freeloaders are busy pigging out on our pizza

and to add more salt onto the wound, human's greatest advancement came from a 13 year old girl when she developed fucking flight on their giant robots

Man the aliens in this game were complete useless assholes. I hope they get inslaved in the future.

The "implying" was when you stated a comment about about how the Definitive Edition character model WAS BETTER.
His "closeup of the character model comparison" proves it WAS NOT BETTER.

m-more pixels

The motion = slower
The expressions = placid
The color = less contrast

The Wii was a better version, through-and-through.

I'm there for the mechs
don't give a shit about swimsuits

Thank for the actual answer

you're welcome

This is more than a slight bummer to you and probably only you.

and me too. that game alongside 2 and 3 are so ugly that I can't stomach playing them. it drives me up the wall.

You really shouldn't be skipping your meds you know.

anon...

In XCX's case, the fixes to the gameplay are actually incredibly simple. Three improvements would fix the majority of the problems.

1. Double tap jump to fly.
2. Reduce the material costs of crafted equipment/augments. Scale everything down by half so the max amount of mats needed for any one craft is 24 instead of 48.
3. Add a way to get online-exclusive resources without being connected online or remove said resources entirely. You shouldn't need to kill a boss that can't be accessed anymore to craft late game items.

Everything else is auxiliary. They fixed the faces already and we'll see if they undo the censorship

Is there a social link system

models look worse. elma even looked better in xbc2 artstyle than what they are doing here.. dunno what it is

ok, arguable. The original had better facial expressions and more character in general but I'm not going to pretend like I was into monoliths old melt faces.

looks the same, possibly a bit better on NSW2

will still probably need to be uncensored through mods

I have remake fatigue. At least that means they're probably already working on XBX2, but that still might get monkeypaw'd to shit.
Better news than no news, for once.

I can't seem to find any videos that directly compare the open world sections. That's what is really important to me. The cat looks a little worse because of the lighting but the tile underneath it has a sharper texture now.
I simply want to make sure all the beautiful open world stuff looks the same still.

They removed asscracks in the XC1 remaster

They didn't, they just retextured the models and got rid of the baked In lighting shading on the asscracks to use more subtle global illumination. The ass cracks were still there, just harder to see

Would you like it if they added more skell/doll models in the remake?

If you don't like both you won't like the game. Between sci-fi stuff you hang out with half naked(because you can change their gear) sluts.

The only ayys that are mandatory to recruit are Elma, L, Celica, and the Ma-non. Everyone else is missable. Considering there are 8 alien races you can recruit to NLA (Ma-non, Nopon, Tree Prone, Cave Prone, Definians, Wrothians, Zaruboggan, and Orphean), most of which can be recruited independently of one another, they'd have to create somewhere in the order of 30+ endings to account for all the ayys.

1562557295794.jpg - 988x824, 158.88K

the fixes to the gameplay are actually incredibly simple

No. The party was worthless in X thanks to the absolute terrible scaling which lead to glass cannon builds. The AI is also trash. The problems with X game are far harder to fix than 1 which was simple.

Shame they can't be arsed to just clean up the existing art style instead of replacing it with modern generic '3d anime'.

You left out fixing the nonsense of having Support Missions gated until the end of the game.
Also not being able to fight the "Global Nemesis" of your choosing at anytime.

The ability to turn off the flight music as well.

WHOA anon. Spoilers!

Affinity and companion quests at certain thresholds. No dating or anything like that.

Love this look

XBX is a stealth sequel to PSO and no one can convince me otberwise

Oddly enough PS Nova had a very similar sitting to XCX of humans crash landing on a strange planet trying to survive. You had to build up a small colony and awaken people with certain skills like mechanics and such from hyper sleep in order to build up the colony. Sadly is was a monster hunter clone though.

just lurk in threads for pictures, or watch the into of the game yourself. that's where the trailer mostly took from.
it's mostly characters that will look worse because of the shadowing and lighting being weird, otherwise it will just look a bit bland

While the mechs ARE sexy, you don't get to pilot one until about 30 hours in and you don't get flight until about 50 hours in. And that's assuming you aren't taking your time. If you complete every side quest and affinity mission as it comes up, you're looking at 45 and 70 hours respectively.

You CAN speedrun and get a skell in under 5 hours, but you gotta know what you're doing and you are forced to use a specific class.

its even worse if you play it on the actual switch because it cant even handle the new version and drops to some ridiculous shit like 240p all the time. fucking vomit port, xenoblade 2 had the same issue.

I didn't have an issue with DE on the switch. Yes I pirated it but I still played on an actual switch.

Old good new bad.

the game loses steam when you get mechs anyway

The World sections look the same to me and I like the new character models more, so this one will be the version I emulate then.

You left out fixing the nonsense of having Support Missions gated until the end of the game.

This is actually the fault of NoA. In Japan, those are unlocked from the beginning while Vanity Armor is the post-game unlockable. NoA fucked it up and switched them around so you get Vanity Armor from the get go (allowing you to make use of the trillion tanktops) while making you wait to beat the final boss to get the other missions. That's why there are so many seemingly useless ones - they were meant to unlock throughout the story.

Also not being able to fight the "Global Nemesis" of your choosing at anytime.

That was point 3.

Stop fucking calling everything a monhun clone, it's literally just PSO2 with different maps and a few gimmick bosses. Neither PSO nor any PS that came after it play like monhun despite being the original inspiration, primarily because the non-boss enemies actually matter.

it looks marginally worse, like they forgot to add the final post processing filter, also the lighting on characters is just generally less natural. not a huge deal though, I can stomach it unlike xenoblade 1 definitive.

damn, I thought mechs were the main thing

That's where it picks up the steam anon...

non-boss enemies actually matter

in PSO

No, they really don't. Fodder there, fodder here.

Just take your time and enjoy the game.

Also heritage speakers.

The party is fine until very late game. Give them better armor and use the actually good ones and you'll be fine. I always had Irina with me with pure defensive equipment and the Ramjet Rifle so she could be our party's TP battery.

Sure, they don't play as smart as the player, but with a game like X that's impossible. Positioning, limb targetting, height differences, combos, saving TP for important situations, using Overdrive effectively, and so many other things are impossible for an AI to take into account all at once. Monolith would have to get a LLM AI and train it specifically to be good at playing XCX, and even then it'd take up a ton of resources.

They can absolutely be and they were for me. But yes you will not one for free you'll have to earn it. And upgrading it to better ones? You'll have to earn it. And making it fly? You'll have to earn it.

Earn it, bitch.

hope you got a good cpu.

yeah, you could fix it with a shader pretty easily. I wish this game got a PC port, there are so many mods I'd like to see made for it.

You can eat the grit outta my arsehole.
Also I'll be getting the finder's fee once I drag your bitch corpse out of some cave.
Suck it.

Ah, right. I forgot that there are people who intend to play X now. It's almost a decade old so I just got used to everyone being in the know.

Oh yeah then I guess you'd be farming DF for a Psycho Wand? Good luck with that.

loses steam when you get mechs

So once you get mechs you need to change to epic game store?

You have to earn your wings, anon. The game is about 250 hours long to 100% so even if it takes you 80-ish hours to get your mech and flight you still have 2/3rds of the game left to play.

Pic related is an under-5 hour mech.

1481957288475.jpg - 1280x720, 455.71K

Actually sir, if you gear up your AI party members properly you can even do solo RP runs.
Of course we are talking about using 3 supports while you do all the DPS yourself, but still. Give me a single reason to NOT build a party that's just Irina, Hope and Celica.

The point was if they can't bother fixing the simple aspects of 1. No way in hell are they going to fix X's battle system issues. The reason it became a solo game was bad scaling since the player can't keep up with the enemy once you start fighting anything over 60 and the AI made this problem even worse.

I mean, if you want to say they matter in THAT way, sure. But they're still trash mobs you don't pay much attention to unless you need a specific drop.

the game drops to 540p docked and 378p handheld quite often. I dont know what to tell you other than to unironically look into a pair of glasses since you seem to be sitting quite far away from the screen.

under-5 hour mech

For replays, sure. Go to town. But if people out there are doing this on their first playthrough I swear to god I'll fucki

just 3 fixes

Everything else is auxiliary.

and the awful party management, whoever thought that was a good idea should be guillotined without second thought.
and the shit affinity system. I sure loved having to grind affinity to continue the story because that faggot Lao needed his affinity.
and as a mirror to the previous point, then don't fucking force me to pick Lin and Elma.
and the uninteresting party members whose characterization is behind those fucking affinity points. If you want me to fucking care about a character so I play it, then don't lock up its (shitty for the most part) story behind obnoxious grind.
and the awful blank state MC.
and the unhelpful collectopedia, which should be a priority when the world is so big.
and the shitty Skell combat, but I can live with it.
and the field skills and everything they entail even up to the next game.
and the half assed online.
and how the world is praised even though it manage to be more barren of shit to do than BotW which is saying something, on top of being completely static.
and the quests basically never triggering from your overworld exploration, but from the shitty MMO hub point in NLA. What is this, 2005 "open world" calling from the past?
and the shitty Ganglion camps that serve no purpose as you walk invisible under their nose.
and... I'll stop there, I'm getting tired.

and we'll see if they undo the censorship

The won't.

This (m)anon was shot by Alex.

Already confirmed that both Japan and West get the Western censored version. It's the TMS situation again. So I am no longer hyped but sad. I will be emulating this game when am undub-Uncensored version pops up in a few years. No reason to pay for a censored product. Do not give them money until they revert changes and be vocal about the censorship being bad. Nintendo fans have had to deal with this with Fire Emblem Fates, XCX, and then FE Engage and even TMS.

Censored Product

Kamige

Lol.

God the mechs are sexy though.

The jump from X --> 2 ---> 3 design wise is insane. X has probably my least favorite 'faces' in a JRPG ever while 3 has my favorite.

Levels don't mean squat in XCX, it's the equipment and abilities that matter. If you or your teammates are dying, it means you have a bad build. You can kill the level 90+ superbosses while under level 25. I've done it. I killed Luciel the Eternal at level 24, and I've seen it done at level 22.

If I had infinite resources, I could easily craft builds for my teammates that make them nigh unkillable. But that requires tons of expensive armor and augments. It's just not worth making all 18 of your teammates as kitted out as your main character, but it is absolutely possible. Especially if you personally control them, which you can do.

The facial animations really sold how utterly unironically cucked N was in this cutscene.

Honestly, if you wanna vote with your wallet I think that's fine. But I would still argue to give this a shot through piracy.

ANON?

under 5 hours mech

I remember doing that too on a replay, for no particular reason. Just wanted big robot quickly in that specific playthrough and you can just speedrun the first chapters without any issue if you know what you are doing(read: if you are playing as Elma and clicking Ghost Factory)

you're bringing me back in
is there any sort of light customization like color changing

Noah and Mio's ENG and JP VA basically carry that game on their backs. Guess that's what happens when you get actual voice actors or theater actors with the EN dub instead of unfunny youtubers.

For most of the story mechs are > on foot

Late game though foot >> mech.

That's what i am saying. I am waiting for the Rom to pop up with the Japanese VA and our bringing back the character creator with fan mods. It's possible. I played XCX on CEMU and loved it. I will do the same here with XCX DE for Ryujinx or whatever emulator comes out.

It's different, Malos JP voice is super recognizable. Heck he narrates Nintendo direct over there

What else would you need? PSO is all about looking for those cool drops, and a lot of them don't drop from the bosses. Besides, ULT enemies are hardly a pushover until you level/gear up, and you actually have to kill them to unlock rooms very often. But in monhun they really just do not matter aside from pushing you off cliffs occasionally, and the combat system isn't even designed for fighting them.
MH = boss fights
PSO = dungeons (and then boss fights unless not)

Yeah, level isn't going to prevent you from giving yourself retarded amounts of attribute res on your entire party but
Why would you grind 4x the amount necessary to defeat anything.

15 GB

Huh? Wasn't it significantly more than that on Wii U?

You can kill the level 90+ superbosses while under level 25

You can do that in 2 and 3. Doesn't change the fact that in those games scaling didn't get so out of hand that you need a PHD in X to get the most out your battle system. The amount of work to make the game enjoyable is issue especially for casual who will not do what you did grind the necessary mods to finally play the game.

Yeah. I wish I didn't lose my screenshot folder, but there is a lot of customization to the mechas. Gameplay and visual wise.

20, but this isn't the first time a Nintendo remaster is significantly lower size. Compression technology marches on.

and the awful party management, whoever thought that was a good idea should be guillotined without second thought.

I liked it. The party members stand in one spot unless they've met the requirements for a H2H. Seeing them interact, even superficially, with the world was nice for immersion.

and the shit affinity system.

Affinity was fine. You just have to swap out your party members so you aren't giving all your affinity and exp to 3 of them. I never had to grind affinity because they get loads of affinity from you completing quests and answering dialogue questions appropriately. Acing a H2H gets you 50% of the way to the next heart anyways.

and the uninteresting party members

Shit taste. X's party members are the most interesting in the series.

and the awful blank state MC.

Create-a-characters aren't awful.

and the unhelpful collectopedia

It would be nice to know where every item can appear, sure, but it's not really a priority.

and the field skills

Field skills are fine. What's really the issue is the grind for Division Points. It can be brutal unless you pick a select few Divisions (Prospectors and Curators).

X fags just straight up lying now because of how much 2 makes them seethe

Heck he narrates Nintendo direct over there

Even grails have to make a living bro.

nta but you can make very cheap builds at any point in the game. And you have shit like the infamous bd ghostwalker that could allow you to win naked.

X is according to Takahashi his favorite game in the series

Post proof

The issue, as it always has been, is the poor explanation of game mechanics in X. The most important thing to know is that attribute resistance is a %. If you have 100 Beam resistance, you take 0 damage from all Beam attribute attacks. Raw defense is meaningless, but most people don't know better because it's never explained in game. The only way to find out without looking it up is to hit an enemy with 100 resistance in an attribute with that attribute, notice it deals 0 damage, and then actually kill the thing to notice in the bestiary that it has 100 resistance.

I am looking forward to this, I never got it on my Wii U

They even said that a Switch port of X was "impossible" back when the Switch was new.

This was NEVER said.
At all.
In anyway. Or form.
Period.
Takahashi stated that a simple port of X would be equal in cost to a full scale remake, due to how the various systems and interactions need to be redone due to only one screen.
There was never a statement that X was impossible or would go without a Switch version. Just that they would shelve for a bit till they got more time to dedicate to it.

*1 damage
You only take 0 on miss/invincible.

Also if you ask me the biggest deal is the ability to spam arts. When you can do that there is little to stop you even without completely walling attributes.

The colors are fully customizable, including whether you want a glossy finish or a matte finish on your mech. Also, the weapons are fully rendered and your mech actually attacks with them. The big fuck-off cannon that eats 2 shoulder slots on your mech is what obliterates enemies when you attack using it.

1522201801727.jpg - 1568x867, 644.82K

The main game was like 10 gb.

my folder is 22gb

Cheap builds still don't solve the issue you don't need gems, core chips and the like to play 2 and 3 those thing just made combat faster. In comparison without mods X is borderline unplayable.

Tranny fucker

You don't, actually. There are multiple ways around your teammates' fragility. One of which is using a class with a strong defensive aura, like Psycho Launchers. You can grant your entire team immunity or reflection for 2 out of the 6 elements and then give them one of the armors with high attribute resistance towards Thermal or Electric have them be practically immune to half the damage in the game. You could also run a build with Ghost Factory and keep giving them damage dodges since they take 0 damage with a Ghost up. It's the same idea behind Ghost Walker. Elma starts with it so you can just play as Elma and spam Ghost Factory to give your entire team 5+ instances of damage dodge.

They still are, even if you unlock them late. They offer a huge boost in power and mobility and it's one of the most liberating feelings in vidya.

lighting looks a bit fucked

less glowing

like the car lights in

Is "LOD" what you would call that? I hate when they do this shit in remasters/remakes. man. It makes the game look flat. I'm still looking forward to it since I never got it on the Wii U, but still. Every developer keeps doing this shit.

How hard is it to mod the cemu version of the game? I just want cuny and no localization garbage.

WiiU bros how we holding up now that our console has no games

Starfox Zero

Devil's Third

Paper Mario Color Splash

That's way more games than the PS4/5.

Text wise I don't think there's a mod that makes it closer to the jap, you just have to read the localization. But yeah for stuff like outfits and whatnot it's not hard at all to mod.

LOD is level of detail, your draw distance, the remaster improves that as far as I can tell(forgot to mention it)
less glowing is less bloom and specular stuff, part of the lighting pipeline and yeah games look bland when you remove it especially when they were made with it in mind.

An uncensored game could have been a huge selling point and would have made the game go viral on social media.
Surely... they didn't fuck it up?

You forgot Nintendo Land.

There's literally an uncensor patch patch for the game. You need both versions of the game, the JP version and the NA version.

>Devil's Third

That was ported to PC dude.

The funny thing about the boob slider is that they just removed the front end in the character editor. In TCPGekco you could still change the values.
There was one character on Miiverse that used a character with max bust slider in the bikini outfit lol.

also I wouldn't take that pic too seriously because we haven't seen the remaster in the evening and that's when the cool lights start turning on. if it's gutted that will REALLY suck and I'll shitpost heavily about it

isn't devil's third on pc?

forgetting kirby rainbow curse, yoshi wooly world

yoshi wooly world

3ds.
Also as much as I like the clay aesthetic rainbow curse was shit

I owned a Wii U and I'm happy I no longer have to plug it in to play my favorite game of all time.

like fuck it was.
The hell is your issue?

japan is culturally 10-15 years behind the west and have only just entered the phase where they freak out about trannies seething on twitter, its going to take another 10 years before they approach the state we just entered in the west where everyone is sick of bending over backwards for people who dont play games.

Nigga it didn't even have copy abilities

Only the online multiplayer portion of Devil's Third was on PC.

that'll be my cope until further footage then. But the cat image isn't a good sign. Everything is under shadow, but not the cat. Kek.

X is the only modern mecha JRPG kino

censorship shill

But the cat image isn't a good sign

agreed, the character lighting on general seems to lean towards the other Xenoblade games too, where they're overbright even in the dark. it's not as bad as those games though which is cool
