Play xenoblade 1

Is there a way to fix these awful fucking camera controls when indoors in X?

They're tools/weapons. Does the hammer get jealous of the screw driver in your toolbox? They all get used.

Xenoblade 2 is my favorite. Is the best selling in xeno franchise, more popular, most fan art images. Hope they make more and stop pandering to normies and their shitty taste.

why does everyone hate the zanza stuff?

Pyra and Mythra are more or less the same person just split up by unexplained bullshit because happy ending must happen.

For Nia it doesn't really make much sense.
Honestly she should have just not have been in love with Rex to begin with, but Japs gotta have their side-girl romance drama.

I think XenoX and Xeno1DE are among one of the best games I've ever played and I couldn't finish them.
With games so fucking long it's too easy to get burn out. I'm going through XenoX a second time with the definitive edition and I'm feeling it again after 80 hours of playing and still not being done with it.

2 is my favorite as well.
I list them
2 > X > 3 > 1
I don't think any of them are bad though.

Same with 2, but 3 is very good. Its just hated to death by a dedicated squad of discord raiders, just like what happened with 2 at launch.

not him, but wasn't the point of the game to not see them like tools/weapons? I played it like 10 years ago and no dlc

I think I've average something like 130 hour plays for every Xenoblade game. I don't feel like they're ever a drag until I start cleaning up all the stuff I didn't organically do.
Field crap in 2 with all the blade swapping was some tedious shit I'd never want to do again.

2 is easily worse than 3 just because of the baffling gameplay decisions and some of the areas are utter garbage in their design. I wanted to drop the game by the Cliffs of Morytha because that area just complete dogshit and probably the lowest point in all 3 games for me. The game's still not terrible though. The blade gacha system and a few other decisions just do so much to drag it down. Whether you like the story depends on how much you give a shit about everything that happens between the first chapter to the final 3 chapters. It definitely has a stronger climax and final over 3 though which just blows its load too early and never recovers.

Shut up and post sex

The gacha system is so easy to cheese. I always have the blades I want a few hours in.
2 has the best in combat gameplay hands down
looks the best, sounds the best, plays the best

can't even bring myself to finish 2

What a tool you are

it sucks

1 is great but the other games are whatever. I dropped 2 multiple times as well, just can't get into it. Prepare for lots of salty replies though OP.

NTA but if the gacha can be cheesed (and by end game its piss easy to farm core crystals) then they shouldnt have even bothered honestly. Should have just made all blades obtainable by quests or something.

I think the original idea was just to give you different party members every time you play through. But it's really shittily implemented.

Never really cared for the smaller arts pallet, elemental combos, or blades system replacing individual party member roles. Although, 2' blade system isn't as bad as 3's job system which just homogenizes all your party members. Auto-attack cancelling was cool I guess, and it's fun to melt everything with Mythra.

my NTR queens... I kneel!

Tbh, it does show they are willing to experiment, no matter how it end up.

Maybe one day we'll be blessed by a Xenoblade 2-2

2's combat sucks balls, Arts beyond one that inflicts break/topple/etc or heals may as well not exist for most blade and character combinations.

I am having a very hard time trying to understand what your point is here.

3 is literally the best fag
Great storytelling, best gameplay, best characters, best aesthetic-wise

best aesthetic-wise

that's X stop lying

3's tone is more like 1, if that's what bothered you about 2. 3's combat is like 2's, though.
Gacha and Blade field skills are a 2 thing only.

Can't speak for X. I only played 1, 2 and 3.

Gacha and Blade field skills are a 2 thing only.

That's the best advertisement for 3 they could have had. Should've led with that in marketing.

severe case of shitaste
recommend seeing a doctor

3 is pretty good, but playing it without 2 just leaves you with the incomplete experience.

XB1

Good story

Even by 2010 standards kys

I like it, I find the entirety of the Mechon area a drag though. the fight with Egil in itself is great, the fight with Sharla's husband is boring, everything after Egil is boring to fight, but Dickson and everything after is incredibly climatic.

Nia is aware that eventually Pyrhha and Mythra will have Rex to themselves right?

Its not that 3 blows its load too early but it does climax a bit after the midway point, and it decides to go for spectacle for its last chapter

the only problem i had with 3 (besides how shit some classes were and how broken others were) was that finale or what felt like that last 4th of the game. everyone spouting the same shit over and over. by the time the final boss came around i wanted them to shut up cause i got the point hours ago.

Although, 2' blade system isn't as bad as 3's job system which just homogenizes all your party members.

2 was super homogenized though. The only big difference was initial stats (like in 3), and the intial blades (which Rex can kek from other party members).
Like sure, they had different arts per weapons, but they were not really the big huge bastion of variety that it sounds like.

uguu~

And not to forget best OST

YOU'LL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE

TOTAL PYRA LOVE

looks the best

No, good god no.

I just played 1 and it was extremely mid. How the did the fuckers build a franchise on this?

I hate XB1fags so fucking much, you ARE obnoxious pieces of shit.

XB1 is nowhere near as fellated as you faggots make it, it falls HARD after high entia and never picks up, both 2 and 3 either remain stable and never drop (XB3) or just get better and better s time goes (XB2), XB1 is a great game but if I had to pick a weak entry on the trilogy 1 would be easlily the weakest.

Each xenoblade plays differently enough from one another than disliking one game doesn't mean you'll dislike them all for the same reasons.

I hate the nose in both though. Like yeah, 3 improved on the graphics, but it won't shine if they keep Saitom as the chara designer.

2 Nia>>>>>>>>> Nia.

Soul 2 vs soulless 3, even if 2 is a shitty game and 1 is the only good one in the series.

Saitom is great as a character designer but hes not gonna continue to be the artist from here on. That said, its clear he improved vastly as an artist working on Xenoblade, even Expelled from Paradise looks good now.
nail your heads on the wall.

Hating on sex goddess Nia

1's story is actual dogshit that's hard carried by the dub's script writing and VA performances, 2 had far worse presentation in those regards but the plot itself is orders of magnitude better

I specifically meant the battle effects
I was only talking about battle system

my point is most Arts in XB2 are crap filler attacks.

XB1 and XBX had better Arts and more you could use at once too.

It sounds like you were unable to understand how 2's combat worked.

but 3 is very good

Nah.

play xenoblade

good shit!

play xenoblade 2

good shit!

play xenoblade x

good shit!

play xenoblade 3

good shit!

Great storytelling

best characters, best aesthetic-wise

3's cast is shit.

3's tone is more like 1

XC3 cocksuckers are so fucking retarded

my Xenobrother

3 really succeeds at bridging the gap between its predecessors.
The series felt fucking bipolar when only 1 and 2 existed. Like two entirely different franchises.

3 really succeeds at bridging the gap between its predecessors.

I strongly disagree

How so? It does a pretty good job of bringing the two together mechanically, aesthetically, tonally, etc.

aesthetically, tonally

Not really. The entire world is just copy/pasted environments from the first 2 games with lame military tent camps scattered around.

Ah, that one 3 hater is here.

Mindbroken

To me 3 felt like a fever dream that doesn't matter.
Because that is what the entire story basically was.

I would be nice if the next Xenoblade was a huge ensemble cast without any set protagonist.
The gameplay would be a mix of one 1 and 3, where you create a party of 6 but everyone as unique playstyle. And because there is no set protag, you would have an affinity system take center stage.

anon forgetting how most people in 1 and 2 lived

please take this seriously.

This remind me of that time when a random said that Bionis and Alrest were places you wanted to live in and that's why Aionios was shit.
Bro forgot the plot of the first games to crap on 3 lmao.

3 is apparently the worse of the trilogy

only hardcore 2fags say this

2 had lots of interesting cities. 3 just has 1 mid city and a bunch of boring military camps that all look the same

3 has 3 cities.

3 had like, 5% of Xenoautism. FR? 7%.
X chapter 13, meanwhile, shot up to 16%. God bless Elma quoting Revelation.

Even the worst Xenoblade game is like an 8/10, it usually just comes down to preference or whatever clicks with the individual.
Like I didn’t really enjoy the combat in XB2 but I would still put it as my favourite out of the bunch since the story, aesthetic, cast and music carried the game for me.

No it doesn't.

idk the story took a while to get going for me, only by Chapter 5 was I invested on it. Think in part it was also the dub being so bad, I did play it in Jap because of the bad dub, but with Xenoblade 1 and 3 just hearing good performance in english hits different. Future Redeemed's was awful though, Na'el's voice is one of the worst displeasures ive had of hearing, but nothing tops just how bad Pyra/Mythra/Glimmer's voice actor is. How did she get re-hired?

It does.

The City

Agnus Castle

Keves Castle

those are cities.

You could maybe make a case for Keves castle but Agnus castle absolutely is not.

Hey, fuck you. I liked how you could climb the mecha in Tau, or the absolute comfiness of Mu, or Colony 0 converting the prison into a house. I also like how Valdi and Isurd's were in caves, but I just like those kind of places.
Imo, the colonies were as good as their environements, and most of them were okay. The worst one was Ashera's though, and that mostly because the floating rocks zone suck.

Ehhh I still don't think they did enough to make them visually interesting

inb4 b-but they're supposed to look ugly

I still don't think they did enough to make them visually interesting

Tbh, everything was more subdued and less ""over the top"" (if that's the right term).
Kinda like how Noah was far more of quiet warrior poet, while Shulk and Rex were more or less classic anime protagonists.
Or how the special sword is not even the red laser sword, but a silver, more plain looking longsword.

everything was more subdued and less ""over the top""

Which is boring, lame and gay.

Hell yeah. I don't feel the need to pick one game and shit on all the others.

Nah, it was cool. I liked how most of the Levnis where inhumans in appearance despite being mechas.

Mfw I remember Zeon riding one like a horse in the intro.

*were
Anyway, I just think that 3 changing the aesthetic to fit the story was neat. Noah unsheathing L7 for the first time was a really cool moment, and it could only have existed in a game like 3.

XBC3 3: FR

XBC X

insufferable trash

XBC2: Torna TGC

I give some respect to XBC2 purely for the zohar/conduit in the last half, it was a fun ride. The other stuff in that game is "pretty good" at best imho. I see XBC1 as the shonen jump story, and XBC2 as the coming-of-age slice-of-life whimsical story. Point being, both worlds are two different flavored worlds of what used to be one. I personally like that Takahashi told those sort of near-polarized stories, yet at the same time he ties both in.
XBC3's story is more or less the Xenogears chapter of the blades trilogy, and draws heavily from the events from the first two games. If people already hate one of the previous games, then yes they may not like parts of 3 I guess.

Just play X and you're done.

Might've been interesting if they had something besides crappy tents everywhere.

They both looks leagues better than pissant photo realism

2 had the best insert songs

Shut up faggot, Pyra and Mythra were the only good things about this shitty game

Anon, why are you so obsessed with tents?
They are living in tents because they are meant to move once in a while due to being in a constant state of warfare.
The City is written with a capital C because its the only goddamn city, as well as the only one who is not 100% for warfare in the game. The party didn't even know what that word meant and just (correctly) speculated it was a place.

are these easy to emulate

play them legally

why are you so obsessed with tents?

The game is obsessed with tents. They make everything look boring and samey.

They are living in tents because they are meant to move once in a while due to being in a constant state of warfare.

"it's bad on purpose" lmao I knew you would use that excuse eventually

pyra and mythra are two halves of the same person and fully intended to share their partner. nia wants to be all over pyra like a cat on a hot tin roof - check the cutscene when the party first enters tantal.

Its "not bad on purpose", it make sense? You seriously think they would fight a systematic war, and then netflix and shill in their homes wearing their MLP shirts?
Because from all of the complaints, that what you want 3 to be.

Xenoblade 1 > 3 > X > power gap > 2

If you played XBC2, then you already got the gist of what to expect in the prequel expansion. I think the only things worth seeing in that expansion was Mythra and how she developed. The rest is just a sad/tragic story, imho.

Yeah dude, Future Redeemed probably told the best story out of all the games (including the expansion stories, obviously).

X is genuinely a fun game to play. Even the pre-skell gameplay was interesting. Where it heavily lacked wasn't in the story (I loved it btw), it was the presentation of the scenes.
I'm talking about cutscene moments where vocal songs were playing over characters talking. This is jarring as hell after seeing cutscenes from the blades trilogy. You can tell MS used a sort of film/tv-show cadence/rhythm with the OST playing in the backgrounds in 1-3. With the line delivery and timing with the crescendos, it's almost hard not to notice.

You seriously think they would fight a systematic war, and then netflix and shill in their homes wearing their MLP shirts?

Nah it should just be visually interesting like 1 and especially 2 are. 3 is boring and bland.

b-but it fits the setting

Then the setting sucks.

God forbid the game as a story and build the map around it instead of blindly copying 1 and 2, which is basivally what you want.
Go play Kingdom hearts, it has over the top stuff, colors and cities, idiot.

instead of blindly copying 1 and 2,

You are so fucking stupid holy shit.
It should've done something AS INTERESTING AS 1 AND 2. Not just copy them wholesale which is actually what the game did lmao

Bro, go play Kirby. You are complaining because 3 doesn't look like rainbows and unicorn shit lmao.
Get filtered forever and never come back.

You are complaining because 3 doesn't look like rainbows and unicorn shi

Nice strawman, retard.
