I unironically love the new art direction they're going for in Xenoblade X Definitive Edition. It fixes one of the biggest problems with the games - the faces on the human characters.
Everything else about it, at least what we've been shown so far, doesn't look like it's an upgrade though.
I love the Victory-I class Star Destroyer, bros...
FPWP
Everyone in Wii U XCX looked like they had down syndrome.
Not everyone
New information when?
In the January Direct that reveals the Switch 2. XCX DE is going to be used as an example of the power difference on backwards compatible games.
I prefer old Elma, but the new one doesn't look bad. New Lin looks way better than old Lin.
Of all the games to port they went with this one. WHERE IS TWILIGHT PRINCESS YOU FUCKS
Twilight Princess fucking blows. Unironically one of the 5 worst Zelda games.
Here's to hoping they uncensor her for the West in the Definitive Edition.
the only bad part is that the old faces were perfect for the memes
Who gives a shit about Twilight Princess? X deserves to escape the Wii U.
I bet you would want the hd wind waker too
This but for Wind Waker. Twilight Princess is dogshit. It's the entire reason BotW-fags meme about dungeon items only being used twice. That actually came from TP and was a real flaw with the game.
Wind Waker is really charming, it has very solid bones and it feels very quality especially at the start but it's so full of padding and corner cutting that I never want to play it again.
WW has terrible puzzles and is an utterly barebones game. The worst things a Zelda game can be.
I don't disagree. It's my childhood Zelda game (born in '96) so I have intense nostalgia for it, but I don't think it's a good game. It's the best of the OoT-formula games still though.
new art direction
"wow, now that the faces aren't ugly, i can finally appreciate the armor/monster/alien/skell design!"
it's like 99% the same game, it always had this art direction.
Yeah, but now I don't have to put a helmet on every character.
a whole new generation of Elma people are going to show up as a result of this remaster
can't wait desu
Skell
Doll*
Lin was the only real bad one, the rest were fine 90% of the time
I wonder if she'll stop being 80% of the porn for XCX when people actually discover the other characters.
I wonder why it is that everyone memes about being an Elma person when Lin has the exact same H2H where you can say you're a Lin person and she chimps out on you.
I think it may be the worst for me. It lacks the depth and substance to carry its length. Most of the bonus content is wasting your time for worthless rupees too.
It baffles me that there are people who still replay Twilight Princess. It's such a bore by today's standards. It's was pretty mid when it originally came out. Already showing signs of stagnant design. But now? It's a chore to get through.
replaying the game, beat chapter 5
start working towards my OD build from way back
have it half done, see how well it can sustain itself on some overlevelled tyrant
open fight with OD and just focus on juggling my arts but can't build up enough tp to loop
tyrant just dies without me noticing
I forgot how broken this was
Elma's skin tone was better on left, I think the best of both worlds is left skin color with right face
What the fuck. Make your own thread.
Already confirmed it's censored for all regions this time, just like they did with TMS.
Sorry, I really don't give a shit about Xenoblade. I was just mildly curious about the redesigns, when I read that retard's comment about twilight princess.
I think the new faces look better in ways, but worse in other ways. I'm a fan of anime styles that show more attention to anatomy. More in the Satoshi Kon school of anime. So when I see things like their lips being reduced, and their nostrils disappearing, I'm not entirely pleased with the results. It just shows that they didn't even try to make the original style look good. Opting to cut out those details, rather than shape them more pleasingly.
Twilight Princess is unironically the last Zelda game without any retarded input or mechanical gimmicks
I wonder if we'll get any new party members. The original game's DLC was just turning 4 of the characters around town into playable teammates.
The ugly faces were 100% a turn off for me, not to mention being on the Wii U
oh no no no switchcucks how will we handle the lack of on-demand seamless access to FrontierNav™ that wiiu chads had??
Probably with the new post-game story. Though if it's like Future Connected they might be versions of other characters? Probably not but some weird weapon combination that isn't covered by another character.
Why did the trannylators change only a handful of names? Like, why change Ga Bow to Ga Buidhe? Why Axena to Alexa? Why Blue Bloods to Mimeosomes? Why Dolls to Skells? Why Beyond the Logos;Artificial Destiny Emancipator to Building the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth?
Honestly, that is going to be a huge downgrade. I hope they add more Tatsu jokes to make it up to us.
18 is too many already. Adding content for existing ones would be better.
now you see me
NOW YOU SEE MORE OF ME
I'm looking forward to exploring Mira again and seeing how different everything is. I just hope they didn't change any of the photon saber animations. They were so cool.
The same reason any localizer changes things. They think they can "improve" things with the change while completely disregarding the future consequences.
Because the new ones don't sound retarded?
Yeah the original names were so stupid. What significance could Logos have to the series.
Axena sounds better than Boze, Yelv, Phog, Frye, and etc.
Blue Blood > Mimeosome
Doll = Skell
Jap BLADE > Eng BLADE
TRASH TALK
The originals sounded dumb.
They sound better than their replacements.
Ga Jiarg and Ga Buidhe feel like they were meant to be playable and there's a few NPCs who would work too.
The originals would never be spoken by Americans.
Blue Bloods sounds cool.
The won't add the Wrothians as party members because they won't fit into the class system.
Censored trash
ga jiarg uses a photon saber and ga buidhe uses a javelin, seems like they'd fit just fine to me
Neither would the replacements. Except Blade but the problem there is that the Japanese acronym had significance that's lost. You can't even argue in favor of the Blade change it's just shortsighted.
To a tard.
no one fucking cares
I'm gonna miss the xenosaga-tier faces.
why change Ga Bow to Ga Buidhe
Because they're Gaelic to begin with and the Japanese names were approximating them the same way the English names are. What a stupid example.
never 4get
They fit in just like L and Celica do. Ga Jiarg used the Photon Saber and Ga Buidhe uses the Javelin. Every other weapon besides those two has 3 users (except Knife which has 4, but one of those 4 is Mia, the secret party member). Photon Saber only has Yelv and Doug while Javelin only has Lao and Boze.
If Ga Jiarg and Ga Buidhe were playable, every weapon would have at least 3 users while whatever ranged weapons they used would have 4. Hell, they could give both of them the Multigun so they could use that as their gun of choice.
Wrong image.
the Japanese acronym had significance
lol
Armor wouldn't work on their models.
Beyond the LOGOS Artificial Destiny Emancipator
Troons complain this is "whitewashing"
Never acknowledge when I point out that Elma is an alien doing blackface if you considered her "black".
what is this absolute word salad
then they'd modify the models? it's not some insurmountable obstacle.
Brainlet time.
Imagine going into a thread for a game series you don't play just to defend localization. These are the people who tell you you're too obsessed with changes that "don't matter".
Malos isn't in XCX.
That's Alvis
Meh, I still doubt it'll happen. It'll probably just be more Mims if anything.
It reads like shit in English, they were right to change the acronym.
You've spent the past 10 years being mad about dolls and destiny emancipators.
No shit retard? Logos refers to Malos
Reversed. Malos refers to Logos.
Either way it's not Alvis.
Yes, and? It's Beyond the Logos.
Doesn't matter because Malos isn't in XCX.
But Logos is.
In the context of Logos is referring to Malos.
Where?
You could say that X is beyond him...
ENG - JP
Harriers - Avalanche
Reclaimers - Testament
Curators - Colepedia
Interceptors - Interceptors
Outfitters - Arms
Pathfinders - Pathfinders
Prospectors - Land Bank
Mediator - Companion
Translators butchered this game.
No American would ever call them "Land Bank"
No it's not
I would. I do.
Yes it is retard, fuck off
The localized names are way better. Many of the jap ones are outright stupid.
No you don't, dipshit
No it's not. The pic isn't even Malos it's Alvis.
Avalanche > Harrier
Testament > Reclaimers
Land Bank > Prospectors
Arms = Outfitters
Interceptors = Interceptors
Pathfinders = Pathfinders
Companions < Mediator
Colepedia < Curators
Alvis isn't Logos retard
Land Bank > Prospectors
stopped reading right there
nah
Yeah, I can only play it on the GameCube, Wii, Nvidia Shield, Wii U, and most computers with Dolphin and/or Cemu. Now I'm stuck with Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Echoes of Wisdom, Link's Awakening, Link's Awakening DX, Skyward Sword HD, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, The Minish Cap, A Link to the Past & Four Swords, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, and Age of Calamity.
You can play Xenoblade X without any limitations, full access to all the features, on anything whenever you want. Twilight Princess is an obscure game that lost its only 4th chance to be on a console (not counting Nvidia Shield).
Testamentbros got FUCKED
Reminder. All newfriends might want to save this.
Or you could stop spoiling and let people make their own choices in an RPG.
Lin looks better, Elma looks like she has downs now
Not this fag again
Pathfinders - Pathfinders
Cope
It's not spoilers.
Yeah it is.
It is
You will never be japanese.
The thing is what you prefer doesn't matter. Because the games are written in japanese. And the japanese writers are using the original names when they're writing the story or future stories. When the translation is inaccurate like that it's fan-fiction. And what's going to happen,what always happens is something in the future is going to rely on the original name and meaning. And when that future thing is going to be lost entirely or butchered heavily. And localizer never care because they're probably not the ones translating the later game. It's some other poor sod that has to maintain continuity compounding the errors. It's short-sighted.
Giving an answer to a question you haven't even heard yet is not spoilers.
The JP names sound more corporate, at first glance I thought Mediator sounded more natural than Companion but actually an agency would want to name itself something insistent like "companion" wouldn't it
As soon as they get to the mission with a shower they'll know what it's referring to. If nothing else you're just ruining the surprise. The game is best when you just go in blind.
It doesn't matter if anon is Japanese. The weebs always understand the plot better. They always get the little references. Because localizers always remove more than they add. And when they add it's either not very good or contradicts.
Do you think the soundtrack will be fixed for the remaster?
Having a version without the engrish vocals would be nice.
The originals are random words that nips thought sounded cool. Changing them to something sensible is not going to have major consequences.
YWNBJ
That made more sense in your head than it really does. If I say the butler did it before the murder is revealed, it's still a spoiler
Fixed? There's nothing to fix, anon. It's perfect.
No I really doubt they're going to re-record the soundtrack. That would be expensive.
I CAN'T HEAR YOU
I CAN'T SEE YOU
That's not what the image is, though. Instead of saying the Butler did it, you say "go look in the boudoir for the Butler's glove". It gives you the correct answer without spoiling anything.
Logos (or 神の言葉; kami no kotoba) means "word of God". It's where we derive the word logic, immutable fact, knowledge. In the context of BLADE, it means to go beyond the "word of God" to free themselves of this unnatural fate of being wiped out on Earth. The localized version "Builders of the Legacy After the Destruction of Earth" is a far more accurate description for what BLADE is as an organization, while "Beyond the Logos Artificial Destiny Emancipator" is a jumble of words that no native English human being would say naturally, and it better describes Project Exodus.
Logos in the context of Malos is both a reference to his overall intellectual persona beneath his jocky appearance, as well as one third of the Trinity Processor. Those are Logos, Pneuma, and Ousia/Ontos, and they collectively refer to mind, spirit, and body.
that instrumental Wir Fliegen that plays when professor B drives the delorean back to the future
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS A SPOILER
Old elma to new elma makes the old look like a focal length issue, the art style wasnt bad, just the application of it failed clearly. 10 years of experience has lead to vast strides from monolith soft, xenoblade 3s application of the art is almost perfect, shame we saw a change in art stule instead of an attempt at perfecting tanakas designs, but this may be an issue of tanaka no longer working with monolith soft.
Hello?
Is this thing on?
Am I all alone?
I need a bigger gun...
If you're taking a history test and I tell you a correct answer is George Washington, that isn't spoiling anything.
Having a few more basic combat themes wouldn't hurt.
You're robbing them of the experience of discovery.
Nuh-uh, I want to hear Black Tar as often as possible.
Everyone
Honestly, when comes to graphics on the WiiU, my only real complaint is Lin's model. That was a honest to God fuck up. She doesn't even look like the other characters, completely out of place.
My conspiracy theory is that someone fucked up compiling the data for the production copy of the game and accidentally used some earlier prototype 3D model for the Lin. They could've fixed that up through an update, but correctly assessed that changing the model would just draw even more unwanted attention to the issue.
I hope they dont fuck up alien Elma. She was already cute.
The "experience of discovery" is losing a character permanently.
She looked like that since the early trailers.
Weebs half-ass everything and want everything handed to them, hardly any of them actually learn Japanese. They can't even pick out differences in dialogue because they can neither read Japanese nor understand spoken Japanese. At best they can pick out katakana names and look at graphical differences, which is no better than pointing out a book cover between regions has differences. It's such a superficial assessment.
Do you realize that this game has THOUSANDS of text files? Have you ever seen anyone go line by line for every last piece of written dialogue for a comprehensive analysis in differences? There are probably thousands of lines that could stand to be translated more accurately, but weebs will never notice nor care because it's not a picture they can look at. "Xenoblade 2 wasn't censored because the graphics were the same!" was the mantra in 2017/2018. Nobody actually checked and compared lines because anyone who is actually capable of doing so is playing the Japanese version and not wasting their time spoonfeeding weebs.
Honestly, blueberry > chocolate.
Generic npc death is not all that relevant.
The answers can be found in-game if you actually play and engage with it. You're just enabling lazy players
Why did Monolithsoft drop Kunihiko Tanaka anyway? Was there some kind of falling out behind the scenes? He was there since the start with Xenogears so it doesn't sit right with me that they just cast him aside and will never work with him again for no reason.
Only a couple of them, notably just the wire and the birds.
The early worm gets the bird
What's your point exactly? That weebs are less invested than localizers who rewrite shit?
They did that for 1DE
Weebs are cringe larpers.
Love this Luciferian Lad Like Little're Likely to
(jk fuck tanks)
1DE didn't have Sawano involved, he would probably want more money to come back.
XCX has way more vocal tracks and also Sony Music owns the rights to Sawano's music.
It fixes one of the biggest problems with the games - the faces on the human characters.
They aren't even human retard. Did you even play the fucking game.
hurr
Tanks are the best party members other than Irina. L is the worst of the 3, but he's still the 4th best party member in the game.
of all the games they decided to port the game no one got to play since the wii u was such a failure and fans have been screaming for a port of instead of a game that has already been ported to multiple consoles and was easily accessible from the beginning
They are meant to look and function like human bodies, just with machinery instead.
left looks bad
right looks better
which is which?
I have to ask because honestly the left is obviously technologically more advanced but that doesn't mean it looks good
it looks like what happens when retarded devs try to use realtime lighting on lowpoly models while the right is using global illumination or diffuse lighting which is the based efficient GREAT simple looking rendering method we NEVER should have abandoned
L is tied with Murderess for the highest amount of purple soul voices. Both are really good for debuff builds. L is also the tankiest of the tanks.
left is obviously technologically more advanced
Are you high?
Left is the 2015 original. Right is the 2025 Definitive Edition. X is a good looking game, it's just the characters' faces that look super fucked up.
Companions sounds a little weird considering they're supposed to be the equivalent of the police and they literally have guys with rifles watching over the commercial district.
Yeah, all the tanks have their upsides, but L is saddled with the worst weapon in the game other than Javelin (Psycho Launchers). His Shield arts are what you'll be using most of the time anyways, but his ranged weapon is pretty much useless unlike Lin and HB who both have good secondaries.
That if weebs truly cared, 日本語を勉強したほうがいいよ
Never trust or be satisfied with ANY translation or localization, there is ALWAYS a loss in information. You want the original, then learn the original language.
PS2 graphics looked great
they were not relying on real-time lighting but art instead
right looks diffuse shaded with less real-time than left
trust me I know it sounds dumb
but what's really stupid is how retarded modern game devs are when they try to do everything with "shaders" and real-time lighting instead of just making ART like the old games used
baking detail into textures is an old trick and it works fucking great
he's not really wrong though lol, original has better lighting
trading nicer lighting for rim lighting
Astral Protection is good for tanking.
anons are going to pretend the game needs the faces changed just like the first xenoblade games
please fuck off
I don't think I've ever seen that blue bastard use it because he either doesn't get enough TP built up or he uses Dual Dynamo.
Yet. Don't forget they retroactively changed Alvis's necklace in 1DE.
trust me I know it sounds dumb
You're right and smart, don't let them tell you otherwise.
WHERE'S SHULK?
I mean, that was an obvious change. There's not anywhere to insert Malos.
Why would you put dual dynamo on him, when his damage output is ass?
I keep hearing about Elma having a human boyfriend, when was this mentioned?
I don't remember it.
They said they're adding new story content, doesn't necessarily have to be in the main story, same as they've been doing
Malos is not the Black Knight.
He's one of the voice options for Male Cross.
Pick the classic voice and use photon sabers
Man I wish cross had post-battle banter, his soul voice already characterises him in battle so fuck it
God I hope this means we get X2
The original Ares was a romantic tandem skell for Elma and her Boyfriend.
I like giving every character their 2 signature arts because it's what makes them unique.
Takahashi said (in a Japanese interview) that he wants to "release Cross 2", Cross being the Japanese name for X.
Sometimes I have no idea what they were thinking with X's storytelling, it's like they introduce elements just to pawn them off onto side quests and never return to them mattering in the plot itself
I also hate how the world has all these cool visual elements that have zero story to them
Elma references her "partner" and "old teammate" a couple of times throughout the game. He's the guy in the opening that kills that big fuck-off alien that attacks the White Whale and makes it crash. In Elma's post-game affinity mission she reveals that she and him landed next to each other, but he was heavily wounded and ends up getting eaten by some big bugs
Then don't give him Astral Protection. The ai can't juggle auras very well.
Honestly I forgot about that, which is kind of ties into the point, I was thinking of some actual character specific back and forth like the npcs have with each other. I know that would require exponentially more work but that doesn't change my desire
The plot is just a way to gate the quests chronologically. Everything interesting happens in the sidequests or final chapter anyways so it's not a huge issue.
She's never had a boyfriend (at least officially). Considering she's a 50+ year old alien, I wouldn't be surprised if she did, though. The self-inserters who favor her would flip their lids, but there are plenty of other waifus in the game to choose from
how does resistance to debuffs work? I was trying to beat one of those unicorn tyrants that inflicts sleep and I crafted two augments that increased sleep resistance (one for 75 and another for 50) but he kept sleeping me everytime. Didn't seem to be inflicting me with debuff resistance down either since it always uses his sleep attack first
do the murderess quest
pulls a gun on us
Figure she's doing the old "shooting something out of frame" thing, because it's too retarded for her "betray" us in this context
Oh no she's just actually going to murder us for some cash
And instead of shooting us she just leaves
And then we never report her for attempted murder
Hello? Is this thing on?
Don't you need to use an aura that has a resistance for augment resistances to go online? I know that's how reflects work (never turorialized btw, great game monolith)
The funniest part is that Irina told you this exact thing would happen.
Level actually has an effect on your debuff resistance. Even a 1 level difference decreases your resistance by a non-neglible %. I don't know by how much, I never looked in the code.
She knew you could handle it.
So who really was at fault here then?
As long as I can keep rolling around colonising foreign lands with a gang of All-American sluts I don't care
And i hate it even more because at this point i am a legendary warrior god. one bitch with a gun is not gonna stop me. Yet, the plot demands i job to this cunt. She needs correction.
All-American Sluts
Elma
An alien
An AI
A Chink
A Russian
Fuck I need to cop that leather pleather again
I find it amusing how busted Cross is for no reason
camo tank-top = America
simple as
Yeah DE literally is perfect. Really looking forward to this and the secret dlc
Cross doesn't get the extra skill slots the others get for their classes. The one and only thing Cross has over everyone else is that Cross can learn all of their Unique Arts and can use any combination of weapons and not just the 2 they're assigned.
Cross isn't any stronger than the others, Cross is just more versatile.
You can choose to fight her goons, but shell just escape when the fight begins.
Elma references her "partner" and "old teammate" a couple of times throughout the game. He's the guy in the opening that kills that big fuck-off alien that attacks the White Whale and makes it crash. In Elma's post-game affinity mission she reveals that she and him landed next to each other, but he was heavily wounded and ends up getting eaten by some big bugs
the co-pilot of the duo skell was sucked out to space shortly before crashlanding and completely unrelated to the teammates who died to the giant bug
Cross is the only character that can have 5 skill slots. Others get max 4, many having only 3.
that's so fucked if true, shit was like 11 levels higher than me. I did resist it once in like 5 attempts so I guess I just need to craft more
Nagi has 5
Nagi is a tryhard.
Every party member gets +1 skill slots from the usual for their class IIRC. Classes also give you passive buffs like +HP or +Potential that you don't get if you switch to Drifter. It's not exactly worth the extra skill slot, but it's something.
I think it's like 2% per level. It might be 5%, but I don't know exactly. I noticed that I needed quite a bit of resistance lowering augments to debuff the level 90+ superbosses, but I didn't need like 150%, just 90%.
Just bring Murderess or L for purple soul voices.
I wonder if they'd add actual guest characters this time. X's gameplay structure would make that very easy.
I mean, I'd prefer getting some of the more notable NPCs as playable characters, but I wouldn't mind getting Shulk or Eunie or Dunban or Nia or something.
Murderess is my wife anyways so now I have more reasons to bring her along.
the OG style made them look like plastic action figures
That's basically what they are.
Is there any source with info on what buff and debuff tiers do?
I tried the wiki but they don't have all the information. I've mostly just been flying blind. Don't think debuffs are really worth it other than the mind control ones on knife that let you sacrifice Millesaurs to grind.
Reminder that blonde-haired pink-shirted Cross is the official Cross design.
Blackout, fatigue and virus are all great, but it would be nice to know what the difference between the tiers actually is.
Official according to what? It's not the default design
Sorry Lao your wife and daughter cant get on the ship because we need room for random thugs and 50 million pizzas
funny of you to think that there is nobody here old enough to remember your OC from the original threads.
the Xeno Series Wiki has most of the information on these. Virus 1-5 all do the same thing and last the same amount of time but 6 adds 10 seconds to its duration, while each level of Fatigue reduces melee damage further, same thing with Blackout and its respective stat debuffs, both of these also last the same amount of time between levels 1-5 with level 6 again adding more time in addition to lowering the stats even further (and by a greater amount than going from 4 to 5)
I hope X will flop.
it already did, this is just a side thing
Thanks, the wiki had just what i was looking for.
it's almost December
Bros...
I've played through the game 4 times already and put in closing in on 700 hours into it and I didn't know half of what these buffs/debuffs did. I thought Virus was a DoT, not something that disables ranged attacks/arts entirely.
i hope they show phog in the next trailer
You may not like it but DE should just let you access every party member while in NLA
what do you mean
Almost
Anon, there's 23 days left
People actually like Phog?
Did you guys know that Phog is a base game character?
Nothing, it just don't click, Saitom got far more positive feedback, but he did KOSMOS for XB2.
they are not human theyre androids
Yes. He's the most forgettable one, even more so than Doug.
Based
i find him to be very scrunkly i almost always have him on my team
I never played the original, but Elma looks better in the original while Lin(?) looks better in DE. I also like the more muted color scheme in the original. I wish there was more of a compromise, but the Xenogears artists already said he doesn't do xeno games anymore.
It's in the datamine but it's hard to navigate because whoever manages it didn't cross-reference all the files.
All characters were done with ingame creator, you can even make your own Elma.
I mean you shouldn't have to physically travel to each npcs hangout spot, your party should effectively just include every available member while in town.
ah yeah
I got a cool partner the other day but I don't know where they are lol
he has sky high so he's cool in my book
You cam see their location on the map.
I forgot about that. I always use Vortex so I can do meme ranged builds in the sky.
oh thanks
is this thing on?
Yes, his signature art is the coolest.
Unless they are at a heart to heart location.
This is true but that just mean you have to change the time.
Good job on proving him right idiot
more like proving LEFT
liberal
I need a gf
That doesn't make sense. There's something about this thread.
Game Freak fucking blows
do you believe in life after love
Some character have 24/7 heart to hearts. Celica and Murderess have particularly nasty ones.
Hearts are also on the map iirc so that's not so bad.
ESLs, the Retards, and now these Newfags… Don’t you find it a little odd that we can understand these posters?
Huh…good point.
Anon, did you study our language?
Schizo's language?
What language are we speaking right now?
What language? ESL, of course! Schizo's ESL very good, by the way.
Elma's eyes are too fucking far apart, it looks ridiculous.
KILL ALL MA-NON
You need to find a yellow info bubble about them first.
There should have been an option there that lets you catch them or wait and see how things play out.
any romance or hint of romance in this game? Who is (you) and what is our purpose?
MOVE OUT! DEPLOY THAT PIZZA!
Watch manon go splat
Elma's affinity goes up
There's 2 imposter-aliens that fall in love with you if you're playing as a male and the final heart-to-hearts for a couple of characters hint at potential romance in a sequel if you're of the opposite gender.
any romance or hint of romance in this game?
Lines that can be taken as flirty once in a whole but no strict romances
Who is (you) and what is our purpose?
You're the guy, your goal is to kill shit. I'm half joking.
post dialogue?
which dialogue?
post dialogue?
Btw, the only way to get shapeshifting lovers is to choose to kill Fortun. Taking her to professor B for a lobotomy results in you receiving a different quest.
A bunch of media outlets have been signal-boosting the "minorities" who want this so hard, I developed a crush on Lyn. I would have otherwise not looked at her enough to give a shit. I already fucked her twice thanks to AI bots, btw. I'm so fucking horny.
Xenoblade X is the best game on Wii U.
Answering both questions actually contains heavy spoiler, so the short, spoilerfree answer is that (You) are a member of BLADE, a military force put together to ensure the continued survival of a makeshift human colony after your spaceship crashlands on a hostile alien planet, and because (You) are a mute make-a-character, (You) don't really get to romance anyone, though some NPCs drop hints at (You) following certain questlines.
The real answer is that (You) are told you are a robot remote controlled by the soul data of an human being that died back when Earth was destroyed, but while that's true for most of your crew, (You) aren't even that. Unlike your companions, you are part of an experimental program to have robots operate on manufactured, false soul data. There's only three aliens that openly try to flirt with you, two of them are shape-shifting spies that take the form of (Your) opposite sex and decide to compete for your affection after you free them from their tyrannical hivemind, the last one is one of two Nopon sages, one male one female, that call you sexy depending on your body's gender at the time of their quest. You can't reciprocate any of those advances and they're mostly played as jokes.
What about the black girl or the cutie white girl in here
That's debatable. Best game left on the Wii U? Certainly. Best game on the Wii U period? It's easily top 5, but it's got stiff competition with Bayo 2, MK8, Breath of the Wild, and DKC Tropical Freeze.
ops here
"inquisitive but composed" Cross is my favourite Cross
The "white girl" you're talking about, I assume, is Lin. She's one of the 3 main characters of the game. I dunno which "black girl" you're talking about, though.
elma i think the one with brown skin and blue eyes. Lin too. anything that come from them or hints ?
The definian most likely.
The black girl is your commanding officer and your relation remains strictly professional for the entire game (though she does call you a retard if you say you'd keep her as a pet), the black-haired girl is literally 13 years old and your relationship remains strictly platonic for the entire game because she's built for Big Nopon Cock.
okay im blackpilled. not gonna play this game.
though she does call you a retard if you say you'd keep her as a pet
cutscene pls?
Not a cutscene
At the end of the game, the final new lines of dialogue you get from Elma hint that she's a lot more partial to you now than at the beginning, but that's where the game ends on a cliffhanger. There's also her getting angry at you saying you're an Elma person instead of a dog/cat person put liking it anyways, see: X kind of ends at a point that makes it feel like the opening act of a trilogy. The devs have hinted at wanting to make XCX2, so hopefully XCX DE sells well enough for them to justify making it.
The big twist is that she's an incognito alien that has guided humanity for the past 30+ years, and she's in an android body
You can make yourself a harem of scantily clad warrior women thoughever.
That and she opens up to you about her past and asks which form you'd rather see her in because she doesn't want to weird (You) out in particular.
Censored sloppa
the faces on the human characters.
neither character in that picture is human
Elma's form is "the choice" for X.
I wish Xenoblade 1 gave me the choice between long or short hair Fiora. Short hair Fiora looks like Shulk's female clone or sister.
the version of X I have modded the main city music
I'm playing a different game
but liking it anyways
every heart to heart -ends- with an affinity increase. it's explicitly not tied to the choice itself because it doesn't result in an affinity increase while the cat option does.
I hope they fix some of the wonky stuff like only being able to do one quest at a time.
port of a port
I dunno boss.
Why didn't SHARTiora get the same choice as Pneuma and Mio?
How would you even do a sequel to X?
Can Lao be the protagonist?
I hope they nerf ghost walker and buff the fuck out of the dolls because fuck you I like running in my ares murder fucking everything. My Car is the Strongest. Get Fucked!
FUCK YES!! getting this game.
I like running in my ares murder fucking everything.
So do
Have a mission where you debate Alex on the merits of the Aliens living in NLA
He's forced to concede they're actually a force of good for humanity, because of events like that Battle of NLA
instead of admitting he's wrong, he instead throws a bitch fit and sides with the very aliens who helped blow up Earth.
Alex and the ideology he represents are a big bitch.
Bottom left
You, yeah you who's been using my screencap for the past 7 years.
Don't use it shitpost against other xenogames.
That is all.
can the other characters do infinite overdrive?
Yes. Elma even has access to infinite overdrive ghost factory.
Best cross is fully armored cross.
Xenosaga 3 is peak aesthetics
Elma Tokusentai
I was coming to say this same thing. I think the only model I really disliked was Lin. Some of the other female characters looked a little bad but they were still okay for the most part and not nearly as bad as Lin. The male characters all looked fine too. XCX's new models are more of a sidegrade than anything.
Now let's try that again.
try to save humanity
also sacrifice millions of potential humans because your spaceship needed room to have a suburb with 20 houses
The issue wasn't physical space. The lifehold just has a limited number of consciousnesses it could hold.
The suburbs are unironically kino. If you were in a fucking spaceship that crash landed in an alien planet full of dangerous lifeform that only survives through high tech and industry, you'd want a piece of home. A piece of normality.
It's understated (the game never tell you "You know, Player, we made it a suburb because we are all homesick, fr, fr, no cap"), but it's pretty fucking obvious given how it clashes with hypertechnological rest.
Creepy as fuck little girl to...still creepy as fuck?
its not an art direction shift the only thing they changed was the faces then fucked up the lighting on the characters so they no longer fit into their environment because they are now scared of ugly face shadows
I think it would be interesting to see other surviving cities and space battles against various alien factions.
when lin says
New Los Angeles was our beautiful lie to ourselves
what she is actually saying is
It helped us forget that we were all on a spaceship piloting robot versions of ourself after our planet fucking exploded, and took the stress off maintaining said spaceship for this god-knows-how-long voyage to find a safe, hospitable planet to rebuild humanity
they'd been in space for 2 years by the time they get shot down and crash on mira. how long do you think it'd take to go stir crazy? how much shorter would it take if there was nothing to cling onto?
the suburbs help stave off the existential dread, let them have a house to go to at the end of the "day".
It depends on what X truly is. If X is some type of purgatory/hell or its all a simulation then there must be a real Mira that somehow houses what we saw in X. You could play as someone on the real Mira trying to save the people in the first game's one.
Only downside of having it like that would mean that it would be a Tears of the Kingdom like sequel where the map is almost the same apart from some few changes here and there.
Its either that or just have them set up a new base on some other continents that weren't in the first game.
But there's like thousands of people in the White Whale and not all of them were military so how the fuck do they even live in 20 houses? Is there like 20 families that have nice houses and cars and then the other 90% live in the barracks bunk beds? Maybe Lao was right
Follow either the Tokyo or Paris arks that were confirmed to have made it off Earth, have them be on the other hemisphere of Mira and feature the Ghosts as the primary antagonists.
By the end of the game, you're able to shut down the forcefields around Mira, opening access to NLA's hemisphere for the post-game, and causing Mira to re-enter normal space as a sequel hook
NLA's just the living quarters of the skeleton crew meant to operate the White Whale until a suitable planet was found and colonized, it was never meant to host ALL the humans in the server.
Nobody wants to know. You didn't fuck anything you gripped your microdick while an if else loop spat out babble at you lol
The Tanaka faces were unironically soul. Now I know how XB1Wiifags feel.
No it isn't. You don't even unlock her alien form until after the credits roll.
I'll just leave you to your meltdown.
Did Elma's race somehow evolve from rocks and that's why her hair is crystals?
I'm willing to bet that because they have to go back and change stuff with the DE, they're probably going to at least make her censored outfits look better instead of just a straight up port like TMS. It goes beyond that too with how in the western version the fundoshis were removed which to a Japanese person would be fucking stupid so if anything is still censored it's probably going to be better than how it was in the western Wii U version at least.
They're silicon based lifeforms.
It's not that I think his designs are bad, but they're kind of uncanny in X's engine. We've seen his design for Elma in 2, and it's not that different for her 2D concept art in X. But the renders and models just don't totally do it justice. They're distinct, but I think the more realistic visual style they're trying to do clashes with his designs. X goes for more muted colors, more realistic robots, more traditional sci-fi. As much as I hate describing a style as "anime", 2's engine and more expressive cutscenes may work better with his style.
I'd really like it if it detected save data for your other Xeno games and unlocked stuff, a sort of follow-up to 2's Land of Challenge.
Elma introduces you to a training program where you can interact with Shulk and Rex and later Noah
Maybe you can take them out and give them their own mimeosomes and use them as party characters, raising their Affinity, doing H2Hs, improving their classes and unlocking their Arts
I like Tanaka's art style but I'm fine with the new take. I only hope they keep the style consistent going forward, I don't want to see a repeat of the Xenoblade 2 blade art styles clashing.
BWC sluts
No Sawano, no buy
Should I play the wii version of xenoblade 1? I kinda like the art style more. Or is the switch version just way better minus art
I kinda like the art style more. O
Yep. Based soulschad. There are lots of cheats to make the game better.
Don't even think about playing the remake if you like the original game, it's got a way better visual experience.
you can take them out and give them their own mimeosomes and use them as party characters,
They wouldn't fit into the class system.
The remake has a ton of QoL improvements like enemy loot not falling into bottomless pits after they die, cosmetic armor over your actual armor, an Event Theater for replaying cutscenes where you can also alter your outfits before replaying, or being able to reduce your level before NG+ if you're concerned about being overleveled.
Then make some new classes and create new Arts. Certain characters were already altered versions of existing classes. My only issue is that it would be a pain to grind up more characters.
The Switch version lets you temporary delevel if you overlevel from doing too many sidequests which is nice. But the artstyle definitely took a big hit.
I prefer to just play the Wii version myself, and just play the Switch one for the added epilogue scenario.
I really couldn't care less about muh quality of life shit. People are way too spoiled these days. Yeah gonna play the wii version as God intended. Thanks lads
Not based.
Super based. Enjoy the game bro.
Godspeed, anon. If you ever decide to try the epilogue on the Switch version (it's cool 'cause it has a whole new huge area) you can select it from the title screen on a fresh save.
No, the Switch version is a complete upgrade.
Then make some new classes
Spoken like a true nodev
You're at least going to play it in Japanese, right? As God intended? I don't simply mean Japanese audio, I mean a Japanese copy of the game on a Japanese Wii. Go big or go home.
Looks bad on both lol should've used the modeler from the other games
It's a matter of looking at everything that goes into making a class. The player character can use any class, and after mastering that class, he can use those weapons in other classes. There's a class tree, and leveling up classes on other characters unlocks their unique Art and skill. Bonus classes don't even have to be treated the same as existing classes, and they can use existing classes as a base like how the NG+ and downloadable Blades of 2 just use heavily-modifed roles, like how Shulk with the Monado is based on the Shield Hammer, but is more offensively-oriented.
Elma is actually BBC slut
i dont know anything about that game but left's eyes looked really cool especially top left looks intimidating
Bad take.
Ignore this guy, the ENG dub is great.
take
Don't reply to me, retarded redditor.
Fucking go back you annoying piece of shit.
The irony is palpable.
