What do you get when you put Xenoblade 1 and 2 in a blender?

I am cautiously optimistic. I'd rather them drop 2 completely (which is a fabulously optimistic idea) but perhaps its faults can be mended by combining it with 1.

Now, excuse me while I get back to Xenogears...

The voice acting is amazing.

Hyped for it, it's probably the game that will close the xenoblade series with a grand finale. My only fear is that they would tone down the fan service because now most big franchises are censored during development, the western branch tells them what is haram. Takahashi has always been a giga otaku so not all hope is lost.

The globo homo trying to make all cultures the same is the biggest threat to gaming, every single game will be AAA cinematic trash in the future.

D1P. First Xenoblade was great, probably in my top 10 games ever. Happy to see that the new one seems much closer to X1 and not X2 (the overall vibe).

The trailer doesn't make me very hopeful. Seems to be doubling down on everything wrong with XBC2. The bland artstyle. Overchoreographed cutscenes. Lackluster English voice acting. I hope this is the last game, because I don't find the XBC world very interesting and I would like to see the story of X get a conclusion (plus, X has Skells).

I'd really like them to reintroduce more of the hard scifi and religious elements rather than magic fantasy (with some throwaway sciencey explanation in the background), but that would clash with the shounen and alienate normies.

Nice. Worth noting that this is officially Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade 2 sequel at the same time. Director of xeno said that this is not something they did recently but it was planned when they started to work on Xeno2.

Which might sound logical if you didn't know how both games end.

I wish though they would do XCX definitive edition and rework game to fix its issues because under that skin there is a lot meat that is rotten and instead i could be nice steak.

They tried that multiple times and it always failed.

Every fucking person who likes xb 1 over 2 is a FF loving nigger, really makes you think. I have over 360hs of xb2 and it's post game is fantastic, something that final faggtansy fans would never get as they are the lowest conmon denominator.

X1 has nothing to do with FF. The main difference (X1 vs X2) is that the second one seems to be addressed to 12 year olds. X1 has some pretty dark stuff happening in the first few hours, vs X2 giving you Poppi and 'yes master!'.

>seems to be

there's darker shit in xbc2 than there is in the first one as well as more sci-fi and religious tones than the first one had and it feels more like the other xeno games in regards to its themes...

I'm convinced most of the xbc2 haters didn't play past the 3rd chapter or something, if even the game, they never say they dislike the game because they don't like the combat system or they don't like the gacha shit (a fair criticism tbqh) or any other number of things related to the actual game it's just "uhh XBC2 is for KIDS" or "XBC2 is for WEEBS it's not like XBC because uhhh it just is!" or trannies mad that female blades are hot

XBC1 looked and took itself more seriously (not counting the so-called "definitive edition" that replaced the painterly character models with generic moeblobs). The main cast has adults mixed in there, and the teenagers don't act like bratty anime teenagers all the time (except for Reyn, whose only character trait was that he was a buffoon). The story didn't detour too much into modern anime hijinks and was focused on chasing down the heads of a killer robot army. XBC2, on the other hand, has a cast pretty much made up of bratty kids, and the story meanders and is bogged down by quite a lot of scenes of the kids fooling around. It looks like XBC3 is also going to have yet another cast of bratty teenagers.

maybe one day XB2 will run good on ryujinx and I care about 3s release. I stopped playing it after MEH MEH MEH MEH MEH MUH MEH was introduced and combat became the most annoying thing since dumb and dumbers most annoying sound.

I played XC2 for a good 80h (finished the game) and is not until chapter 5 that the story starts to get good.. The game is good but it's super inconcistent and the artstyle is a mess because the artist guests. The highs of the game are super highs (Jin , chapter 8-9 and the bosses) but the lows ... ooof. Chapter 4 in general is just why. Also fuck Tora and his stupid mini game. Legit never used Poppi because of him. XC1 is just solid entire game while 2 is just.. weird af. And Zeke is the goat.

Anyway. I FUCKING HYPE FOR XC3. I really like the design of the characters and the game seems more in line with XC1.

I am cautiously optimistic. I'd rather them drop 2 completely (which is a fabulously optimistic idea) but perhaps its faults can be mended by combining it with 1.

Now, excuse me while I get back to Xenogears...


The voice acting is amazing.

I still prefer:

If that's the most accurate representation we're gonna get of jiggaboos in gaming from here on I'll take that every day of the week. Looks like my mate Tim after 2 weeks in Malia.
