But if they had changed the joke for the western release most of you would have thrown a shitfest.

How do you even go from the godlike creature that is Riki to a shitty wannabe heropon like Tatsu?
What went so horribly wrong?

TATSU

LMAO

BAZINGA

get off Cred Forums Lin

Tatsu is NOT colonel sanders $5 special!

Tatsu is a more accurate representation of the typical Xeno mascot than Riki is.

In every chapter
In every quest
In every cutscene
>le potato joke

I couldn't keep playing that damn game

Tatsu taste like poop and poison!

It's the equivalent of western writers throwing snark into everything and thinking that's comedy.

Just watched Tanaka-kun and found that shit pretty fucking funny.

Get in the pot you potato L-O-L

XCX has to be one of the biggest let downs of my adult life.

WOAH OH OH

HEY LIN

i liked the music

__________________________TATSU LMAO__________________

>UGH ITS NOT LOCALIZATION THEY'RE CENSORING TATSUS JOKES

I was neutral about it at first, then I started hating it
Then at some point I went so low I hit negative hatred and loved it unironically, to the point I had to sing along every time.

I thought people were exaggerating when they talked about how often the game makes the same joke

it's really fucked up, literally every single scene Tatsu is in. ends with COOK POTATO LOL.

I hated the music too but it grew on me after awhile. Still vastly prefer Xenoblade's music though.

They hired a black person living in Japan to do the music for the city. Just saying.

It was probably too much to ask that the only black person in Japan would be good at making music.

SLIDING SLINGER

What are you implying? That black people can't make music? Go listen to your white trash hard rock music honky (that Jimi Hendrix invented and who has not been surpassed) while we make real music. By the way, the reason that whites can't make music is that whites have no soul. Because that shit was sold to the devil by the white businessman even before you were born.

Posting the superior game

Tatsu is not Heropon. Tatsu's dad is Heropon.

VIOLENT STREAK

Considering Elma is the main character, and her primary weapon are the dual swords, why are dual swords worse than every other melee weapon besides knives?

WE

I have over 1k hours but I'm too scared to try our multiplayer.

>over 1k hours
>Try multiplayer
You wot? Multiplayer missions are easy as shit, even in a level 30 Skell. By 1k hours, you should have a maxed Mastema/Lailah Queen with perfect augments and all the super weapons you can fit.

WUZ

Why? I don't think people are that judgemental of what armor/weapons other people are using.

No, that title belongs to Psycho Launchers.

>1k hours
Literally an offline mmo

This. I just returned the game after 20 hours to the store I bought it from. The night time theme was okay, but the daytime theme drove me fucking insane. Same with any regular battle that would get to the portion with lyrics in that song.

It was such a bummer because I loved XC's music it was very fitting.

Oh sorry, you said Melee weapon.

And regardless, Knives are not bad at all. Screamer and Black Bane builds are nice to see.

X-2
yes or no?

Psycho Launchers are a secondary weapon, and they're amazing. Not for damage or anything, they're amazing for fighting super bosses because of their buffs.

yes

Every other weapon deals more damage/has more utility.

Longsword > Beam Saber > Shield > Javelin > Dual Swords > Knife.

>X-2
No

>NX
>Y
>XX
Yes

>No, that title belongs to Psycho Launchers.

This is the weapon that has an area of effect art that inflicts topple, it's actually pretty decent.

Not to mention it's really good for boosting your defenses. If you're planning on solo'ing the superbosses, you'll want Psycho Launchers + Shield.

can we take a moment to appreciate how good all the battle art animations look?
Especially Javelin, Photon saber and Sniper rifle have some sexy as fuck animations.

I love the quick cannon animation. I modified my build to base it around that art after getting it.

Photon Saber is just the coolest weapon. It's really useful, has a lot of damage, pairs up well with pretty much any gun that isn't Psycho Launchers, and it looks sexy as fuck.

I get the feeling that balance wasn't a primary issue for the dev team, considering the huge gap of power between Longswords, Photon Sabers, Shields, and everything else.

Not to mention ranged attacks being useless for anything besides support because of the naturally low damage of ranged weapons.

What species even was Elma?

And why were her assets bigger on her mim?

I wouldn't call all ranged attacks being useless in terms of damage, especially when "Executioner" builds exists.

>Not to mention ranged attacks being useless for anything besides support because of the naturally low damage of ranged weapons.

Not even remotely true.

At the moment my ranged build can deal more than 100,000 damage with a single ranged art and also inflicts blaze which I've seen go as high as more than 80,000 damage every 2 seconds. I've seen builds that are nuts with the augments doing over 500,000 damage with a single attack. This is before getting into the benefits of overdrive.

Aren't all the time attack records held by sniper rifle users?

Why does Lin have the best porn if she's the worst girl and underage as fuck ?

You deal far more damage with equivalent melee augments. Javelins, used by the same class as Sniper Rifles, can deal over 140k in a single hit, without factoring in crits.

>13
>Underaged
>When humanity has dwindled to

At least she doesn't have the personality of a pile of dirt like Elma does.

Literally the only viable endgame build is the memesword infinite overdrive one. Balance in this game is a joke

I don't mean to say ranged is better, I just mean to say that ranged weapons aren't useless.

You'll can defeat almost everything in the game without too much trouble and fairly quickly using the right range build same as you can using melee.

Javelin is one of the worst, lowest damage melee weapons in the game. Even knives deal more burst.

???

Shield + Psycho Launchers is literally the only way to solo all the Super Bosses on foot. Beam Saber also shreds in an infinite overdrive build, just less so than Longsword.

Lin's the cutest.

Well, cutest until you rescue Mia.

If you are running around one hit killing everything but the toughest tyrants with a ranged build it's pretty meaningless to say melee weapons are better.

Whatever you say.

They sure did. I dislike that Elma and Lin are the only relevant characters in the game.

NX port when

Who says you can't fight it normally? All you really need is an optimal armor set with good defense and resistance and a bit of good knowledge of what the Tyrant can do.

I miss the post-Xenoblade days, when we all believed that the next Xenoblade game would be one of the best games ever made and the series was stainless and could do no wrong.

Then XCX came along with its shitty American setting, shitty typical American VA, hyper-anime overdramatic corny Sawano soundtrack, and shitty flat writing and we all realised that Monolith really did only just strike gold that one time.

Did the same team that made the original make XCX?

Yeah buh

You Xenoblade cucks are insufferable, Jesus Christ.

>the next Xenoblade game would be one of the best games ever made and the series was stainless and could do no wrong.

Ya blew it, falseflagger.

Those tyrants are what matter, though.

Xenoblade-fags are almost worse than Super Metroid-fags or SM64-fags.

Because she's a robot. Robots aren't protected by Age of Consent.

Why is it seen as a bad thing to like good video games nowadays?

Sorry that I like to enjoy the games that I play instead of putting up with disappointing sequels.

Because Xenoblade Chronicles X is also a good game, and better than the original in some ways.

Mia is best girl. In the entire Xenoblade series.

NLA's theme is bad, but it grew on me. It's kinda like sexual deviancy. You start off normal, than start getting more and more deviant, and eventually you get so deviant you loop around and get hard only for pure loving sex and hand holding.

Except replace the sexual deviancy with hating the NLA music, and looping around to liking it.

Your post went unnoticed but i feel the same way user, this game actually made me give up any hope about console gaming
I'm not buying any console ever again because of XCX, i'll play DQXI when ps4 emulation comes out in 10 years and that's it.

She's pretty qt as well. Tons of NPC girls are cute as heck.

Why did we get Alexa as the DLC partner again instead of May?

C'mon, the 30 FPS wasn't that bad.

I literally dropped this game after having to put up with his introduction
How they went from making such a great character like Rikki to something so cringe inducingly embarrassing as this fucker is seriously perplexing.

The exploration and graphics were awesome but... that's it.
How can you just ignore the story and characters on a RPG i just feel confused, Takahashi lied to us

What was everyone's favorite continent?

I ended up liking Oblivia the most by the end. I didn't think I'd like it during the early reveals, but I ended up liking it more than both Noctilum and Sylvalum, the ones I thought I'd liked.

>L-LEAVE TASTU ALONE!!!

PINK PYJAMA WEARING FAGGOT DETECTED.

Story wasn't bad, just ended on a cliffhanger because it tried setting up for a sequel.

Characters were definitely not bad. They had a ton of little flavor texts, and their 3 affinity missions were more than enough to develop them. Some were more developed and had more personality than others, but they weren't bad by a long shot. It's just a shame that the most interesting characters aren't part of the "Main crew" with Doug, Irina, Gwin, and Lao.

Plus, the game improved on the gameplay from the original. Mobility was far better, thanks to a run button and no fall damage, combat was vastly improved upon, and the game tried making hard enemies without giving everything spikes, while also not giving every character easy access to stagger + topple.

X isn't bad, far from it.

Of course you would never admit that, because you didn't want a new game, you wanted Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Electric Monadoloo

Tatsu was actually really funny outside of his interactions with Lin.
>Ga Jiarg tells everyone to put down their weapons

SAVAGE AF SENPAI

Wasnt there one of these that wanted the MCs dick?

Nopon? They don't want sex, they only want your wallet.

Plenty of other aliens wanted the Big Human Cock, though.

>Story wasn't bad
ye man i'm sorry i didnt read your post

Anime writing at its worst form.

>Characters were definitely not bad. They had a ton of little flavor texts, and their 3 affinity missions were more than enough to develop them. Some were more developed and had more personality than others, but they weren't bad by a long shot. It's just a shame that the most interesting characters aren't part of the "Main crew" with Doug, Irina, Gwin, and Lao.

The characters never go beyond being cardboard anime tropes who are defined by one or two traits like one likes cars and cats and another likes cooking and Skells.

Fucking shit characters mate that I was never able to grow attached to because they were so bland.

>It feels like all life on earth is flowing inside me!! WUUAAAAAAARRGGGHH

Defo up there as one of the worst anime dialogues I've ever heard.

Maybe if you're legitimately retarded and never paid an ounce of attention. None of them are cardboard cutouts, lack personality, or have only a couple of basic interests. They're all extremely varied.

Alexa is pretty bland, but she's definitely the worst it gets, and she still has personality besides liking Skells.

Post it so I can judge if it's really the best porn.

I would've liked XBX's story a lot more if didn't build up to a big mystery that was left completely unresolved. That ending was utter garbage and made no fucking sense at all. It also rendered everything you did effectively pointless. Whoever thought that ending up needs to be slapped across the face and fired.

I could've sworn there was one that called your guy cute and sexy

The ending wasn't bad. My only gripe is that they introduced a huge potential plot point after the credits.

>SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLANET!

I think that's Lara (N/M)ara. The two faggots that hang out in the industrial district and hit on guys. They're pretty chill, though. Definitely some of the least faggoty faggots.

>Maybe if you're legitimately retarded and never paid an ounce of attention. None of them are cardboard cutouts, lack personality, or have only a couple of basic interests. They're all extremely varied
Prove it. Give me examples. I've played the game - the characters are all cardboard and one dimensional. They're just shitty bland tacky anime characters that you find everywhere in mainstream anime shows.

I didn't like the fact that they setup the whole mimeosome mechanism to only have it not make a lick of sense at the end because the original bodies are dead.

Yeah, Riki was so much more tolerable than Tatsu.

Sylvalum tho

You're the one making the claim.

I'll take Alexa, as an example, since she's only really into one thing - Skells. Her story missions involve her being completely oblivious to everyone's needs and wants around her. She's flat out obsessive over Skells, but she actually likes doing her job, and does it specifically to help others (or what she perceives as helping others).

She's unable to emotionally connect with anyone who doesn't really like weapons, and she's downright resentful of others who criticize her (particularly Frye). Plus, her lust of R&D goes to the point where she bribes the defense secretary with a bottle of alcohol so she can get a budget pushed through. Whenever she goes out on the town, she's incapable of doing anything normal, and just hits up shops to buy food that tastes good. Not to mention she's a tomboy robosexual.

Much more than your perceived "one-dimensional" character design. And again, Alexa is the worst example of character development in the game.

Frankly, I think the story didn't need Mimeosomes at all.

I agree, and that's what I kind of hated about it. It's like they liked the concept of mimeosomes but had absolutely no idea at all what they wanted to do with them story wise

That's the big shocking end game reveal.

Mimeosomes are still a major plot point, though. They're pretty much the basis for all of the late game story. They're an example of a plot twist done well, since they were foreshadowed from the very beginning, and they become increasingly more story relevant as the plot progresses, from being just something that everyone is to a huge deal among the surviving humans.

Plus, the ending is just hinting more at the fact that Mira is a living planet that is fucking with space and time to make the plot progress. If you paid attention to all the minor details, especially the ones that Elma, L, Professor B, and the Ma-non give you, it seems that Mira is either an simulated planet, or some Alvis-like figure is putting on a show.

Shouldn't have left that plot point unresolved, if that's the case.

They wanted to set up for a sequel, if it wasn't obvious enough.

If the sequel is good, most people will look back favorably on Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Iwanna fuck a Nopon

I just think that the idea of earth being destroyed and humanity trying to carve out a life on this new world, while fighting off these hostile aliens was a good enough premise to work around. There didn't need to be all this 'everyone' is robots thing going on. Don't get me wrong, I know they justify it, but I couldn't help but just frown when I saw it revealed.

I wanted a good story/characters with good gameplay.

XCX has the gameplay but lacks in every other area, especially the music.

>KAAAAAAAATSU
what did he mean by this?

I figure that they had to go with this weird, nonsensical story path because it's a xenoblade game so they couldn't just have the story be less fucking stupid.

It absolutely does not, though. The only thing it lacks is a solid 60 FPS framerate, a byproduct of it being developed for a console.

It means "stop being a fuccboi" in Asian.

???

Also, I just figured out who you were thinking of. One of the divine Nopon says she thinks you're cute.

At least the sidequests make up for it.

Not that user, but there were some Nopon in XBC that seemed pretty high on the ara ara scale.
What made it better was those particular ones also spoke perfectly normal without the typical Nopon speech.

It was still mostly about survival on an alien planet, but they threw in everyone being a mimeosome for added complexity. It really does wonders for raising ethical and moral questions, and paints Elma and Lao in the same light, even though the game would previously have had you believe they were polar opposites.

I think it was a wonderful plot point, but I wasn't really cool with it at first. Later chapter made me love the idea, though. I think some of the chapter 11 - post game missions make them a lot more sensible.

I feel like the story would have been a lot stronger if they focused on a static main character instead of allowing custom characters.

There's certainly positives to being able to make your own character, but there are also drawbacks. But when you allow custom avatars you have to make some major concessions, the biggest being you can't really do anything with them. They end up being a hallow shell with no character to them, and the story and narrative usually suffer a lot from this. In the first chronicles, shulk worked because he was his own character. He had his own opinions and voice, but X is just a nobody that has to be able to stretch for every single role. You also miss out on actual interaction between "you" and the other characters in the game.

I like some of the gameplay improvements, the open world is really well done, but the story is just so much poorer than the first game.

Yeah, but fucking a Nopon? Your dick would obliterate their organs (unless you're a gorilla-dick'd loser). Pretty much the only thing sexual you could do with one is get a blow job or a wing-job.

>she's downright resentful of others who criticize her (particularly Frye). Plus, her lust of R&D goes to the point where she bribes the defense secretary with a bottle of alcohol so she can get a budget pushed through.
To be fair you wouldn't know this unless you put her in the party with Frye and Nagi, and just by virtue of there being so many party members, most people won't try out every single combination to see who gets post-battle dialogue with who

Just the tip tho

I actually prefer RPG with less set in stone characters. The point of the genre is to role play, and I am not Shulk/Cloud/Lightning/Geralt/ etc. I have my own opinions, and I react to certain situations differently.

Shulk being his own character is fine. It helps the story a lot. But I prefer the no-name MC, since I can project my own feelings into the character. It works especially well in X, because the characters react to you (in a crude way, but they still react), and your decisions can permanently change the world.

It would've helped if they did customization a little bit better, though. More options, less retarded facial features, and more voiced lines would've been great. We know your character can talk, because they do so in battle and whenever you have a choice, so why don't they speak? Would it really have been that hard to record an extra 200 - 300 lines?

Well, I suppose it would've been more difficult, but it would've helped the immersion a lot.

Just came here to say Hope is best girl.

I guess, but I went out of my way to hear every single one. The party banter is top notch in this game.

youtube.com/watch?v=Iz_Zo1N1Cyw

It definitely fleshes out the characters a lot more. Especially the ones that are the most bland.

Why are all the people so old in this game? Almost everyone is 30+. I was really surprised the first time I went into the affinity tree.

>Farming tickets for materials
Going to have to take another couple week break, fuck this shit.

They didn't make her as annoying as I thought she'd be. Considering her entire design is as a religious girl with heavy daddy issues, I thought she'd constantly be shoving the Word of God down our throats, like religious zealots in the actual United States.

Japan makes me feel better about those kinds of people. Up until they knock on my door while I'm jerking it and try to proselytize to me that's actually how I got my current girlfriend.

Its especially bad because the nemesis bosses never show up anymore because everyone stopped playing.

They should've done something Mass Effect-ish, allow complete customization in terms of appearance and build, but keep the character his own character, with some player decisions along the way.

Have you never fucked a midget/short girl before, user?

Yeah, it would have been better like that. It just feels like your character isn't even there because he never says anything and no one really brings attention to him in most dialog.

2 years of space travel between Earth exploding and now. Most of them are in their teens/20's, though. Only Elma, Nagi, Doug, L, Boze, and maybe Frye (I forgot his age) are older than 30.

Mia is 18, Celica is 16, Lin is 13, Irina is 29, Yelv, Phog, Gwin, and HB are young as well.

>started a second account for another playthrough
>always offline cause I didn't want to make another NNID
>mfw farming for Elemental Clusters
>mfw eventually farming for Ares 90 crap
Online vidya was a mistake.

Because the White Whale and other ark ships were made to carry useful people, like engineers, soldiers, scientists, etc.
Why the fuck would they bother putting in a shit ton of retarded teenagers?

Nopon are an entirely different bucket of fish. They're like 2 feet tall at max.

I'm on my second character as well. Getting those tickets isn't as hard as I first thought. I'm nearing 1900, and I use them every time I have a stupid quest drop.

Getting machine drops is easier than I thought. Xe-Doms aren't that bad on your second playthrough when you know what you're doing. I'm now able to reliably kill Molybdenium Xe-Doms.

it worked for the story since nobody besides Elma is anything special and everybody has the same goal in the game.

Lao is more of a protagonist but because of his story arc he doesn't work as a player character.
They probably set him up to be the protagonist in a potential sequel though.

They can probably work the MC of X into the whole Yelv j-body thing.

Doug would have been the best choice as a player character for X because of his friendship with Lao.

>and I use them every time I have a stupid quest drop.
you'll regret that when you need mats for a level 60 skell

All of the young people are in the Lifehold. There's a couple of NPCs that talk about this in the Residential and Commercial districts. Lin is the only kid who didn't get put in the Lifehold because she's actually competent. She's like one of 8 people who can cook in the entire NLA, and she's a prodigious engineer.

I already farmed up an Ares 90 on my old character. Two of them, in fact.

I had my fun on this character with a DMC-like gameplay style using Javelins. Finally got around to leveling up Long Swords around level 50. The amount of tickets I have is almost always at cap, and I have to spend them so I'm not wasting them. Just bought a bunch of Sapphire Xiphias Horns for Ether augments 2 days ago, and I'm already almost at cap again.

The problem is how bland Doug is. He's just kinda... there, trying to be as inoffensive as possible.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that that's his character, I just vastly prefer some of the "spicier" characters, like Sharon or L. If they were going to make an MC other than Elma, it would probably be either Doug or Gwin.

>If they were going to make an MC other than Elma
Elma has way too much insider knowledge to work as the player character.

What should I use with my Longsword? Assault Guns or Dual Guns?

Or Sniper Rifles?

Skells and Overdrive ruined the game for me way more than Tatsu

Skells just made the world feel really fucking small and Overdrive completely changed the combat dynamic

>check scouting terminal to see what builds people are using
>someone had a whopping 50000+ HP on their ground build
>more HP than a skell

Huh, HP builds do exist.

They could just have her not reveal any of it until the end of the game, just like they did in this game.

What the fuck am I reading

>mfw you say you're an Elma person

AFAIK, the only person to solo Telethia + Luxaar's Xern + Vortice the Deific Blast + Drakken the Drifting Cloud on foot was a guy who was using a Shield with Psycho Launchers for support.

Nah, still wouldn't work. In chapter 7 she calls squid lady a Samaarian witch even though humans have never met them before, and also is unwilling to let the MC hear about the Ares project in chapter 6
There's some evidence she might know about J-bodies too since she trained Yelv and gave them the tech to create them.

It sounds like she knows about them before in Chapter 7, but before, she reacts weirdly to hearing one of the Ma-Non talk about the Samaar Federation. I wonder if she actually knew before Chapter 5, or if she started studying

Goddamn, grinding augments for an endgame build is ridiculous. This is pretty much anti-fun.

>I wonder if she actually knew before Chapter 5
Im pretty sure she knows about them considering how big and influential they are.
She used tech from Celica's people (the Qlurians) to build the Lifehold Core's defenses.

Doug only really got interesting during Chapter 12, but the same goes for every character.

Chapter 12 in general has some great character moments and shows all the missed potential.
At least it proofs that the characters themselves aren't the problem.

>When you try to teach Lin dog tricks

At least she finds it endearing. Elma just gets 100% mad. Probably the maddest she got during the entire series.

Yeah, but she reacts to oddly to hearing the Ma-non talk about the Samaar Federation. She knew about the aliens coming to attack Earth, but it seems that there's a lot she didn't know.

I'm still kind of confused about the ending.

If everyone's mind is stored in the giant computer, how do are the ones in mims supposed to go back to their bodies after the 3d printer makes them their bodies? What happens to the person in the mim? Does the consciousness stored on the computer transfer to the new body? Does that mean the mim person just dies and a copy of them inhabits the flesh body?

A huge chunk of the war that's been happening is a result of the Ganglion rebelling against the Samaarians, and she warned the humans 30 years ago that the war was coming to Earth.

>how do are the ones in mims supposed to go back to their bodies after the 3d printer makes them their bodies?
They don't, they're stuck in their mims for now at least.

M8 the computer is destroyed, Mira is keeping the Mims alive

The actual Samaar people are dead, or at least turned into humans. The Samaar Federation lives on, and is ruled by the Ganglion.

Much like the Ghost are part of an unnamed faction, a faction that controls, as far as we know, dark-matter based lifeforms.

Doesn't matter how often you repeat it, it isn't fucking dmc

Supposedly, they'll just transfer the consciousness to their "real" bodies again, much like Elma does.

(Not true by the way)

Ganglion are still loyal to samaarians, they are just warmongering and go to earth after finding out about humans (which they know Fuck up ganglions)

Flying around and doing comboes in the air is very much DMC.

Or Bayonetta, if you want to be picky.

I feel bad for the people who thought this game was a letdown.

Except you aren't weapon switching or dodge offsetting or jump cancelling or any of that jazz
You hit left or right and a
That's not "dmc like gameplay"

Ganglion want to destroy humans because humans are the last of the Samaarians, and contain Samaarian DNA, which kills Ganglion.

Bleeding on a Ganglion would outright kill them, apparently.

>go longsword/dual guns
>find out it's the meme build
FUCK

>and is ruled by the Ganglion.
No, the Ma-non specifically say that the Samaar Federation makes them Ganglion look like a small-time space crime gang.
Wrong. The whole reason they're going after humans is so the Samaarians can't use that as leverage to control them anymore.

That's not DMC, it plays nothing like it at all. Why do you say that every thread? Nobody is going to go "oh shit it's dmc I must play it!". Are you retarded?

But you can switch weapons in midair.

You keep trying to simplify it, but isn't pressing a/x/y and different directions what DMC/Bayonetta gameplay is?

Oh wait, it's only okay if YOU boil down things to their absolutes. Hypocrite.

who the fuck cares? Its the only viable build to kill the endgame tyrants on foot, you're just saving yourself a bunch of grinding in postgame.

nobody knows how they can still be alive or how their soul works now, so it's pretty much just like before the lifehold existed.
That's probably the point of this scene youtube.com/watch?v=xA7sH0pcUuI&list=PLpVpBRIlzWuAPrRuKI4LZKMQiO4dIOWo8&index=90

now that the data storage is fucked they are probably unable to transfer their souls again.

The only issue is that if you kill someone in the middle of an aerial animation in overdrive you just stop midair and pose rigidly

Because it is DMC combat? I'm not saying you're connecting comboes and dodging, I'm talking about how that build literally makes you fly.

Every thread it's posted in, the same 3 retards take offense, because they can't handle metaphors. I'm hesitant to call them non-native English speakers, but you really do not understand any sort of figurative language. Either you're actually autistic, or you're a non-native speaker.

You're intentionally being retarded and I fail to see any reason why

No, I'm just using logic against you. Get fucked.

Mad because whatever you're trying to do isn't catching on?

WHO /DOUG/ HERE?

No, the Ganglion are the head of their faction. The Samaarians, the original heads of the Samaar Federation, are long gone, they turned into humans.

The Ganglion, one of the most important factions in the Samaar Federation, are at war with the Ghost.

>Because it is DMC combat
>I'm not saying you're connecting comboes and dodging,
These are two contradictory statements.

I'm not even the user you've been arguing with. I'm just going through this shit and seeing you, for some odd reason, trying to say an RPG is somehow, in any way, similar to the gameplay of DMC style games.

>Japs are not funny
I'll agree that Tatsu jokes are lame but Japs can make me laugh sometimes.

I wasn't the same person, I am just tired of you fucking saying that stupid ass shit.

No, it is not like it at all. No matter how you fucking look at it. Xenoblade X is nothing like DMC, nothing like it. The way you think and are bound to type has me thinking you're actually "autistic", and probably not a native English speaker. Seriously, you're unbelievable.

Flying around like a fucking tard and touching one button to execute an attack is nothing like DMC at all. hat the fuck is actually wrong with you? Is Mario DMC now because I can fly in the air with a fucking Tanooki Tail? You are braindead, fucking braindead. Stop pushing your stupid ass fucking bullshit.It's not DMC.

It's just a figure of speech. Several people in threads past have already understood what I meant. It's just you idiots who take exception.

Because the combat is only the delivery, and not the response. Right.

mia a best

until she joins you and turns into a literal whore.

...

Now you're purposefully being obtuse. You really are autistic.

Flying around and executing attacks in the air is a staple of DMC and Bayonetta, and it's exactly what the Vortex build does. The way you execute it in all 3 games is different, but the result is the same thing. How fucking retarded do you have to be to ignore this one simple fact? It's like I'm arguing with a child who only wants to argue within their arbitrarily defined parameters.

>The Samaarians, the original heads of the Samaar Federation, are long gone, they turned into humans.
No.

Please tell me you're just pretending to be retarded

Mia is best girl, always. She has the best banter, tied with Murderess.

Well you are on Cred Forums.

how is realtime-cooldown-based-mmorpg style combat with some quicktime events thrown on top in anyway similar to stylish beat'em'ups/"characteractiongames", aside from the animations?

>Flying around and executing attacks in the air is a staple of DMC and Bayonetta
holy shit guys, I just realized Titanfall is a DMC clone

Do you know what the word gameplay implies you retard

>humans turned into Samaar
Never stated by anything in the game, and in fact you are told that humans were created by them, not something they turned into and then forgot all their technology.
You'd have an easier time arguing the samaarian race is actually homs after they escaped Mira's spacetime bubble.

*The Ganglion are just one tiny part

I've stated this multiple times. The delivery is different, but the result is still the same. I'm getting real fucking sick of you purposefully ignoring the one thing that destroys your retarded arguments.

*samaar turned into humans
Though now that I think about it humans becoming samaar wouldn't contradict anything. Stable time loops are allowed.

You should check out LBX for more Bayonetta/DMC style gameplay my autist friend

Could be, but the Humans have Samaarian DNA/blood, which is what kills Luxaar, remember? He dies in a vat of Human DNA because the Samaarians created the Ganglion to be killed by their blood, so that the Ganglion could never turn on them since killing a Samaarian would get blood on the Ganglion and kill them.

Really, it's up to interpretation as of right now.

>wanted to be JRPG Space Patrol Dante
>friends end up calling me a tryhard when I'm playing
It's always something.

Maybe you should get some friends who aren't assholes? What a petty thing to say.

Are you still using that bunk argument?

>He uses some cursewords to define how fucking stupid I am
>he must be autistic!

If somebody started shouting "THIS IS DMC COMBAT!" in every bodies fucking ear, people are going to get annoyed. The fact that your brain thinks this way has me believe you are autistic, because you won't give up and you're pushing something that isn't there. Like a child with actual autism.

Flying around is nothing like DMC or Bayonetta. I don't know where you are pulling this shit from. Did you even FUCKING play them? Holy shit. The result is not the fucking same. Oh my fucking god. If by the end result you mean the enemy dying, then yes, obviously. But seriously, making yourself less approachable by calling me autistic and a child constantly only seems to prove the fact that there is something factually wrong with you and how you make comparisons.

Nobody is going to believe you. Because you're wrong in every single way. DMC and Bayonetta are combo heavy action games that play nothing like that stupid build. You're literally just pressing one button to execute an attack that does it by itself. You have no fucking clue what you're doing.

Except nobody ever says they can't attack samaarians directly. They only say humans are rumored to be designed to counter ganglion, which turns out to be true.

So the input is different and the output is visually reminiscent? That doesn't equate to "dmc combat".

Maybe they'll eventually become cyber people like a machina? They were robot people and could breed, I think.

Ah, but it does. The outcome is still the same. You're executing stylish combat commands while falling back to the ground.

Bayonetta and MGR have different control schemes from DMC, but I'd still classify them in the same category (even though you're not really encouraged to do shit in the air in MGR).

>and could breed, I think.
Nope, they can't breed.

>who cares that the input is nothing alike
>m-muh animations!!

No, I mean the machina could breed couldn't they? There were kid ones running around I think.

They can fuck but can't reproduce.

>If somebody started shouting "THIS IS DMC COMBAT!" in every bodies fucking ear, people are going to get annoyed
This isn't what happened, at all, though. I used a figure of speech comparing one game to another, and you got really fucking autistic and started attacking me. You're fucking twisting the entire situation around to paint yourself as the victim of some evil figurative language user, but you're the one who goes on an autistic rampage every time.

>you are autistic, because you won't give up
Fucking lol

>Flying around is nothing like DMC or Bayonetta. I don't know where you are pulling this shit from. Did you even FUCKING play them? Holy shit. The result is not the fucking same

It actually is, though. I've played DMC 1, 3, and 4, as well as Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising. It's not exactly the same thing, but they're notably similar.

You sperging out about a figure of speech is where your autism comes into play. Just give up.

>Bayonetta and MGR have different control schemes from DMC, but I'd still classify them in the same category
Because they are the same type of game. They're all three beat-em-ups/charater action.
This whole bullshit you're doing seems like you just being stupid intentionally, for whatever reason.

Yes, the machina were machines with biological processes. I imagine they could eventually get J-bodies to work like that if they didn't want to just make new people start as adults for some reason.

It's not about the animations, either. Comboing in the air is comboing in the air, whether it be in an action RPG or an action Beat 'em Up.

They grow kids in pods, the process in which the kids are made is unknown, for all we know maybe they made them from scratch or using spare parts of both parents. Or maybe it's a more bio-organic approach. Until someone produces Machina porn there's no way to know for sure.
I hope someone produces Machina porn

Not with that attitude.

So you feel genres should be designated based on what appears to be happening on screen as opposed to the inputs required by the player?
Answer me this : If a chess game had dmc animations every time you captured a pawn, would you describes chess's "gameplay" as dmc combat.
Checkmate.

Really? Because it's only 3-4 people who have a problem understanding this figure of speech comparison. I didn't even come up with it myself.

>if they didn't want to just make new people start as adults for some reason.
But the Lifehold core can't make "new" people. It can only replicate the minds/identities/personalities/whatever you want to call them of the people who's data it stored. Theoretically they could make perfect copies of the same person, but if they were to sustain humanity solely on mims they'd just be replacing the people who died with exact copies of themselves, never really "progressing" or making new generations.

Why are your skirting around the fucking answer?

No, there's a difference between just executing commands on the ground as opposed to jumping into the air and doing combos. It's a very DMC/Platinum Games thing that appears in multiple of their games, and it appears in Xenoblade Chronicles X when you use Vortex.

...

I do think it's stylish or cuhrayze or whatever the fuck you want to call it, but its neither dmc combat or dmc gameplay or whatever else the parasite in your brain wants to call it
You're retarded and going insane trying to justify your retardness
Go take your medicine

So, what does Tenderizer actually do? Do the explosions hit multiple parts or something?

Don't worry, user. Dunban is on the case!

Chapter 12 felt like the halfway point for the game

>finally getting into some interesting philosophy stuff concerning humanity's condition
>main 'villain' dealt with, 90% of the issues concerning the main plot still in place, additional complications introduced
Then nothing. Fuck. I feel like after 500 hours I can pinpoint every problem I had with the game to perfect detail. Exploring was fun as hell but I can't wipe my memory of the geography so the best part of the game is only fully appreciated on my first playthrough. I get fucking nostalgic for the days I spent in air conditioning running at clifffaces to try scale them, one clip at a time.

>I do think it's stylish or cuhrayze or whatever the fuck you want to call it,
So close, yet so far. You keep stumbling on the answer and then fucking turning away. You're right fucking there. So close. So close to understanding. Maybe you're not retarded afterall.

Ratchet and clank allows you to attack in middair, is ratchet and clank made by platinum?

>You're executing stylish command while falling back to the ground
>input is completely different and the output is visually reminiscent (barely)
That person literally just explained to you why you're wrong, and you still keep going. Like an autist.

>B-BUT ITS A FIGURE OF SPEECH STOP SPERGING OUT
Do you know what a figure of speech means? It means a word or phrase used in a non literal sense. Like me calling you monkey. You're not actually a monkey, but you sure do act like one. Because you constantly throw shit at people and try to save yourself by saying "its just a figure of speech" but you constantly try to push it as a fact like you don't even fucking have any self-awareness or anything.

It's nothing like them. Never will be no matter how you say it. Xenoblade X forces you to use "commands" in a fashion where you are still playing as it is a turn based game. Just because the visuals of the attacks look like you're executing some crazy combo and damage counters flashing on the screen after you're done using Overdrive to give your autism a kick doesn't mean it plays anything like DMC or even is the same outcome.

You're fucking hilarious. You are literally autistic, I'm not joking. You keep pushing everything like you are the only one who understand it. You want to be right. You want it to be your way. Sorry, it's not happening. You will never be right.

I put in quite a bit of time trying to decipher the story. It's all there, but you have to comb through the artbook, through NPC dialogue, through passing lines, and then understand Perfect Works.

It has problems, but they're not as striking as some make them out to be. Going through everything takes a long ass time, so I don't blame anyone for not getting it.

>if they were to sustain humanity solely on mims
meant to say if they were to sustain humanity solely on artificial humans from the Lifehold.

The kids are also ancient by human standards, so I suspect they grow naturally at a very slow rate.
They could just make new bots and put new personalities in them if they needed more people before finding Alvis's server.There's no reason the AI can't be modified to create different behavior.

He said nothing about the localization. You're bringing it up out of nowhere because you're still butthurt people criticized Treehouse (not even the devs or the game, but the fucking localization team). And GOOD localization is praised. All the bad choices are naturally shat on.

Think for once in your lives, you drones.

Literally did nothing wrong

Do you really want me to go on an autistic rant about how the games aren't similiar at all just so you can worm your way out of it with some bullshit excuse you made up on the spot for replies
Because I'm about to do it

Because Xenoblade Chronicles X actually puts emphasis on battle position and height, and the result of Vortex builds being that you're comboing shit in the air.

How do you not get that this is something that is prominent in DMC games? I never said it was a copy and paste of DMC combat, but merely that it was highly reminiscent of it, especially because it's only prominent in one out of 20 or so different builds.

>and put new personalities in them
But that doesn't make any sense. The Lifehold doesn't just pull personalities out of thin air.
How would one even "create" a personality? Like you just select personality traits from a list on a computer then it creates a brain, with thoughts, feelings etc? I really hope they don't do that, that sounds fucking retarded.

Go ahead, keep ruining these threads because you're too autistic to understand simple comparisons. I only started using the term because of spergs like you.

>All this talk of DMC combat in Xenoblade X
>no Xenoblade X that plays like Dragon's Dogma
Scaling tyrants to dual sword their faces in while my pawns- I mean, recruited Crosses shout out obvious advice would be hella fun.

There's a lot of implied stuff about the setting which I like too (for instance, 1. people can't leave Mira once there, 2. there's signs of dozens of other civilizations on the planet, which combined makes me think every civilization to land on Mira ends up dying on Mira because the planet has it's own agenda). I haven't read through any of Perfect Works though.

Yes, I'm really happy that the breast slider, posters and costumes were removed and that the voice actors couldn't give a shit, that there was no dual audio and that the sound mixing was terrible, I am so grateful for that.

Yelv's personality was created. J-bodies are a thing.

Not bad user, Now I wanna play DD.

It would be nice if there was more variety in the playstyles. Dual Swords and Knives especially are wasted potential.

Xenoblade X combat is nothing like dmc combat, it's a stupid comparison no one would or should ever make unless they're fucking retarded. You've been countered and refuted several times and still don't show a hint of leverage on your position. And you expect people to agree with you.

ONE BY ONE

is he our guy?

It's been that from the beginning, but I hate repeating myself 20 times because you're too simple to understand. I could just copy and paste my posts over and over again until you stop ignoring the answer right in front of your face.

Yelv's personality was probably actually based on a real person, but it doesn't invalidate that his existence proves they're designing fully functional AI. There's no rule that says you can't start a project with some premade assets.

THEY SEE THE SUN

You're in such a blind autistic rage that you're attacking the wrong people. Top lel

Just give up

Why the fuck are you thinking that this one specific build is completely reminiscent of DMC games? Why?

You can still initiate a combo attack on the ground with Starfall Rondo, etc. But for some reason you think this one build is totally like DMC because you're in the air. I don't fucking get you. It's like you have brain problems.

It puts emphasis on battle position and height in what way that is reminiscent to DMC at all? You can go in the back of an enemy. That's called your position. DMC emphasizes this by making your position prominent to how you want to attack an enemy. In Xenoblade, I can be 10 feet away not even hitting the enemy and I can still hit them, because the game doesn't act like an action game whatsoever. You can keep pulling back shit you said to try and feel more right in the present, but you will always be wrong,

It would be literally impossible to prove anyways.

no one who has ever played either dmc or xeno x will ever agree with you or your "metaphor"

>completely reminiscent
I never said that. There's many facets of DMC that aren't relevant to that one playstyle. But there are parts that are, and that's what the "DMC-like combat" is talking about.

> But for some reason you think this one build is totally like DMC because you're in the air
This is exactly the reason people use Vortex-builds to talk about it. It's an entirely different can of worms when you're doing combos on the ground compared to doing it in the air.

J-bodies have actual storage unlike Mims (which is why Lao had to store data on a USB stick instead of just downloading it to himself)

FTFY. Man the Engrish in these songs is sickening if you listen to them with headphones.

You think that build is like DMC because you can execute another command while still staying in the air. Is that correct? You're retarded.

That's the same thing on the ground if I were to use a ground combo, and that would be like DMC. But yet, I still find it completely impossible to agree with you because they don't play anything like each other. You can nitpick like this for anything, but I have no fucking clue why you insist on saying it's DMC, when it's just as awesome as it without your shitty and wrong comparisons.

But I've played both of them, and I'm someone who agrees with the sentiment, so your point is moot.

And I didn't even come up with the phrase. I picked it up in the thread I learned about the Vortex build in the first place.

And I have no idea why you're sperging out about a turn of phrase. They're obviously similar. Not identical, just similar. And that's the point. No need to get all autistic about it.

Yes, comboing on the ground is different, because you're on the ground, and not in the air. It's a fundamental difference. You can't break it up any further.

by that logic any game that has moves dependent on your vertical positioning is dmc-like

GUYS

To an extent, yes. The air combat doesn't really get more in depth than mashing auto attack and casting (some) spells. Whereas in Xenoblade Chronicles X, you have to keep up your combo or you'll fall back to Mira.

If you combo in the air, then sure. I don't disagree with that sentiment. There's a difference between popping an aerial attack and performing aerial combos.

And don't forget that Doug was the only one that called her out on that bullshit. He was devastated after knowing the truth

I never said it was.

Nice rebuttal, though.

>more lives would've been lost if they decided to be like some of the other arks and carry actual human bodies. They could've gone to these other arks if they so desired.
I hope in the sequel they meet one of the Arks that Lara Nara talks about, and one of them has real bodies. It would be really interesting to see some conflict and strife between the real and artificial humans, akin to the prejudice and xenophobia that we see from some humans towards xenos in this game.

>I actually liked that the final chapter showed Elma to be a conniving cunt who isn't entirely good or evil.
This and Chapter 11's "I will seriously consider shooting this little girl for a data tape" are really good at hammering that home. More character development in those two cutscenes then a lot of the game, especially about what her actual goals and her loyaltyto them over other people.

I just find the way the Avatar character is treated to be amusingly awful sometimes. Fucker gets attempted-murdered by other BLADEs dozens of times.

>user's respect for Doug grew three sizes that day

>I can combo shit in the air in fucking Fruit Ninja
But that's an outright lie, unless you're playing Fruit Ninja while parachuting to the ground.

Post mims

volleyball confirmed for dmc-like gameplay

If you could react humanly fast enough to combo a volley ball in the air.

Elma is totally a member of a race of aliens who are "curators" of various species at risk of extinction and who attempt to utilize their unique traits (ex: weaponizing human DNA to fight the Ganglion and Samaarians)

I think she's more likely some sort of intergalactic peacekeeper, kind of like Jaco. She's trying to defeat the Samaarian Federation and the Ganglion. Probably the Ghosts as well.

thats what volleyball is you total autist

Wasn't it confirmed that another Ark landed on Mira? New Paris or New Tokyo, I think it was.

Mite b. cool.

>Fucker gets attempted-murdered by other BLADEs dozens of times.
BLADE has got to be one of the most poorly managed organizations in all of fiction. They let a fucking serial killer onboard and no one noticed. Not to mention they recruited a bunch of niggers who are willing to shoot their fellow near-extinct humans in the back for a few bucks.

I hated seeing my mim's stupid face so I didn't give him fashion gear. He wore a helmet and a bunch of mis-matched armor and was essentially a faceless mercenary-for-hire chilling with the people who actually matter.

youtube.com/watch?v=EmUeqMnWmDY

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a combo is. Perhaps this is where your exception to the phrase "DMC-like combat" stems from.

Also, they let on a fucking ton of gay people. These people are supposed to carry on the human race, what the fuck were they thinking?

Guys I'm hungry, what should I cook today?

Knife is amazing though.

Do you know why?
Jam a green count boost on something, and then...

OVERDRIVE!
SECONDARY SPEED!
REPAIR!
SMOOTH RECOVERY!
REPAIR
Repeat and double up as needed until MAX overdrive has been achieved.

I used this with the Rayguns in particular.

MYOPIC SCREEN! resulted in a flat 3k TP every time it's used at MAX overdrive whether you hit or not, meaning I can straight up just recast overdrive as needed.

GRAVITY BLAST! was an immediate reuse cooldown-type topple move. Do you know what this meant? I could topple lock anything with EASE. And then fuck them up with BEAM BARRAGE and ETHER BLAST, which not only gain an extra boost from the monster being toppled, but also from Secondary Speed being active.

My team was nigh unkillable while I did this. HB also had a tendency to use SUPERIOR STAND! to give everyone TP all the time, and honestly whenever he was on my team not only was HE also nigh unkillable, but so fucking often the entire team was using Overdrive and I got to benefit from those lovely Overdrive bonuses. The end result was that either: The thing was always toppled, or just couldn't deal with our mad evasion and healing capabilities. Most extra content giant monsters were done away this way.

There's more human settlements on the art of Mira book's illustration of the planet, but nothing confirmed in-game as far as being on the same planet goes.
There's a side mission where Lara Nara sends you to Sylvalum to retrieve data from a lifehold piece, and he later says that it was two communications signals from other Arks, one in french and one in japanese.
Considering that Mira is heavily hinted to be in its own "pocket dimension", it could be seen as implying that they are on Mira as well or otherwise they wouldn't be able to receive the signal in the first place.

There's like 3 good male faces and 5 good female faces. They really dropped the ball on making the mims look good.

But both of mine have been pretty boys. The first was a cocky Happa dude with jet black spiked hair, and the second was a giant blond Nordic dude with messy Yelv-style hair that's almost as tall as the Orphean.

It doesn't help that most of the facial and hair options for men are ugly as shit.

No wonder Lao was so pissed about it. He did everything to get his family in the White Whale but couldn't even managed that.

you've got your memes tangled my friend, I believe dmc-kun was laughed out of the thread a while back

Nah she's definitely just trying to save her race of people and home world from the Ganglion and her people's elders heard that humans could stop them so they sent her to Earth to save them in order to safe herself but being around humans turned her heart and she sees herself as a human now. This will cause a conflict of interest in the next game

But I use an art HP recovery augment, so I just need to spam high powered attacks to keep myself alive in Overdrive. It'd have been more efficient to roll pure damage and kill the tyrants before I died, but I wanted to solo Lugalbanda.

Holy crap I wasn't expecting for the climax to come that late.

Dude

Oh look, we spotted a SJW apologist.

Yeah, that's what it was. I don't know how trustworthy the artbook is, since it's mostly concept art, but it seems likely that that'll be what they go for in the sequel, if they ever make one.

I hope you get to bring over your mim from the previous games, that way you don't start from scratch. Or, if you do have to start from scratch, make it take place from the perspective of the other Ark.

Pretty much. That's why the story was actually really good. Little things like that. Lao didn't just defect because LOL I'M EVIL, but because he was having serious coping issues over losing his family.

And it's the exact same reason why he's happy with you for killing anyone traitorous.

There's 2 of us in this thread, at least. The other guy is MIA, but I'm still here.

what..

Let's

I dunno, I think space patrol is more likely.

Well, maybe you're right, actually. She does seem to not be fully clued in multiple times in the story. The Ma-non specifically gave her a huge revelation.

Maybe she's from an advanced alien race that are being oppressed by either the Ghost or the Samaarian Federation, and she's trying to raise the humans to overthrow the crime syndicates?

She went through a brief stint with a bionic arm and cat ears with a tank top early on.

This is how I beat the final boss. No jokes.

It does make more sense like that. Too bad he lost consciousness before he could rat the purpose of the Lifehold Core. At the end of the game only the higher ups now it's true purpose

Celica and Lao had some fine ass themes.

I'm surprised Nagi and Maurice didn't get their own themes.

That's how I took down the giant UFO robot before it could smash any of Sylvalum's bridges.

Sylvalum status: fucking flawless, although it does have a huge UFO in the middle of the lake.

Studious voice is hands-down the best.

I feel as if Xenoblade Chronicles X gets an unnecessary amount of shit for waiting to reveal plot points, but those end-game reveals were top tier.

When I was originally playing through the game, I wasn't too absorbed in the story, but now that I'm on my second play through, I'm much more invested since I know the outcome. The story is insanely well written, considering all of the little hints they toss around everywhere.

Has Robbie Daymond done anything else worth noting?

It also gets shit from people who didn't do any sidequests.
The lore and the background subplots are actually all really interesting and come together in a neat way with a lot of sequel potential, but it doesn't lay it all out for you and apparently thats too much to handle for the instant gratification generation.

I remember looking at his IMDB page a while back and it didn't look like he had done anything particularly noteworthy.

But to be fair, neither did Adam Howden before playing Shulk. Loved him as Shulk, but his work in XCX was comparatively subpar.

>The Samaarians are a mysterious race in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are humanity's ancestors and the original founders of the Samaar Federation.

>The Samaarians engineered other races, including the Ganglion and the Zaruboggan. This was not an altruistic act of creation—these races were made to serve Samaarians, and were built with failsafes to ensure that servitude.

>To control the Ganglion, the Samaarians encoded a failsafe encoded directly into Samaarian (human) DNA: If the Ganglion ever turn against their Samaarian makers, then mere exposure to human DNA is lethal to them. Since the Ganglion betrayed the Samaarians long ago, their race has a visceral hatred for humans and a fear of ever coming into physical contact with them again. >tfw you will never get to painfully dick Ryyz, killing her as you blast cum directly into her cervix

not sure if that was before or after Xenoblade

And why exactly would you want to refight that thing? Just go meddle with a Xern if you want mim on giant spaceship action.

>implying they are even remotely comparable
That's like saying if I want more Xenoblade X I should go play DMC.

I'm hoping they make an NX upgraded version for this very reason.

NLA not getting upgraded also feels like cut content, like they ran out of time/disk space to do it. The missing roads feel like they would've eventually been built in after you get Rock/by donating to construction companies.

They have an entire missing district, missing road, a missing lower level (potential 4 extra districts), and we know that they wanted to do this stuff since they had several permanent changes to the terrain. Specifically the arches in Sylvalum, the Nopon Caravan in Noctilum, the Biahno Water Plant, and the Zu Pharg holding bay.

Well mate I was just suggesting a possible replacement, it's not like it's my fault or anything.

People always forget how good the world buildings is in the game but they only seem to care about how shit the nla theme is

...

whew.

...

I haven't played in a long time.

Why is Mia so great?

It would have made more sense if Celica said that.

I've always loved using spears in games if it has them and I'm loving the Javelin especially with vortex its a lot of fun, but I'm still conflicted about what ranged weapon would best go with it.

>guy
embarrassing

I completely agree. You can tell that most of the people shitting on the game never completed it.

They have a fair complaint in the fact that it's too big and doesn't give you an easy access to information, but I completely disagree that the story is bad. Information was just really poorly handled. Particularly the Enemy Index. You should be able to fill in the missing information without having to kill the enemies. It makes no sense that way. Why would they ever do this? You don't need to know the weakness of a Wood Lepyx, because you can already kill it. However, you should be able to look up the weaknesses of a Millesaur or a Xe-Dom so that you can combat them effectively.

This is why my second playthrough was much more enjoyable. I knew their weaknesses already. But it's still really shitty. The way they should've done things is make it so that fights continuously update with their strengths and weaknesses, and it should list all their attacks, not just their static attack stat, as well as all of their immunities/resistances/reflections. That information should've been updated into the Enemy Index as you try it out, so hitting something with a Thermal attack will fill out its Thermal resistance. That way you can wipe, look at the effectiveness of your attacks, and plan a new strategy of attack.

...

Only the Javelin Vortex build though. If you wanted more Longsword action, you should go play MGR.

Don't midgender me you shitlord.

Look at the chest.

...

There was one guy back in April - June that would constantly shit up these threads saying that the world building was bad because it doesn't deliver the information to you right away. He thought world building was story/plot.

...

>Particularly the Enemy Index.
I completely agree with this, and everything you said about it. I also wish it would tell which specific part of the map they spawn on instead of just "sylvalum" or "primordia"
Also I forget, is it possible to check enemy drops from the index? That would definitely make crafting less of a pain in the ass

Because she's absolutely qt, loyal, and willing to work hard.

She's got the personality of a good wife, without any of the skills. Kinda the opposite of Lin.

>They didn't replace their arm with one that looked synthetic like the white armor one after it got blown off for a few chapters under the guise that you were "low on resources and had to make do until you found more natural looking arm parts"

Do you even autistic head canon?

Yes

>Celica
>saying liking her disgusting odor is inappropriate as a human bean
Yeah, no, I don't Qlucking think so, senpai.

Celica is a fine, proper lady. All the up sides about a prissy bitch with none of the downsides.

...

>Enemy index

The most disguntins thing that I read from there it was how fillavents reproduce. In every fullmoon those fuckers release sperm into the air

Definitely not Sniper Rifle, sadly. You're probably best off with Assault Rifle or Dual Guns. Assault Rifle gives you a topple locking method for when you go full DMC, but Dual Guns give you Sky High and some Super Charge buffs, which let you deal insane damage.

>>no music box/collection
>>no cutscene viewer
I would've loved if work on NLA progressed as the story/your completion did. So you eventually 'unlock' a movie theater, where you can rewatch any cutscene you've seen. Later you might unlock a 'dressing room' that allows you to dress up characters in the cutscene with any item you've had before. A 'museum' for concept art viewing, a jukebox at a bar for music.

Similarly I'm pissed that you can't use your division membership to provide useful info. Being able to select 3 tyrants/locations/collectibles/whatever to provide info on depending on your division so other players can go to your character for help would be great. Kinda like Dragon's Dogma pawns retaining memory of any quests they do; if you're online (and a member of the Harriers) and you've marked 3 tyrants down other plays would see you on the map near those tyrants and be able to talk to you for info (like enemy index numbers and some of the techniques you used to kill it). Likewise if you're a Curator you'd be able to highlight specific collectibles so people know where they are. It'd make the whole division aspect a lot comfier.

>Implying she isn't getting dicked by Rock

Xenoblade X apologists should kill themselves.

Without any context one could think she's talking about Rock rather than herself.

Sniper if you want to abuse Ghost Sniper/After Burner over drive infinites

Duel guns for memeary

Warrior is the best Male voice and Soldier is the best Female. Real pros play as veterans, men and women of class and savoir faire. Not some youngun generic shonen protagonist.

>Sliding Slinger!
god damn elma this is some nasty ass conspiring, i hate u so much but the ass game ridiculous

Yes.

Enemy Index should've been better, but I think it was more of an after thought to push in some more world building, like, as said, how the creatures disgustingly reproduce, or how evil they are. I thought Xiphias were cute until I read their Enemy Index bio.

And yeah, you covered another thing I would want out of it - location of spawns. That would've been fantastic. If they did that, as well as my suggestions about how to improve the usefulness of the thing, I would be ecstatic. Another thing I really want is the item index to show how to obtain said item, like what body part you need to break for it. Currently, you have to remember from when you broke that specific body part, and some body parts can only be broken while in Skell or on the ground.

Lmao, go back to your bald guy simulators senpai, this game is all about the waifus.

Xenoblade came out in August 2011 in Europe, Tintin came out in October of the same year, chances are he juggled both roles or did one right after the other.

What's the most RP you've taken from Telethia Plume while solo? Try to include all the builds you've used.

Photon Saber + Sniper Rifle = 49
Photon Saber + Psycho Launchers = 125

LIIIIIIIIN

Need some old bald fat faceless guy fucking Lin porn, stat.

Does this game even have any porn, like, at all?

Generic shonen protagonist is a different voice though.

I think Rock is too big for her. Or, he might just not have a dick. His voice is definitely really high, suggesting he's a eunuch. Plus, his race was created by the Ganglion in labs, so they likely can't reproduce.

Lin is totally "experimenting" with Tatsu, though. She probably gets eaten out by him every week.

Dual guns actually does sound like a lot of fun with Javelin so ill go with that, thank you anons .

There is one tentacle doujin on sadpanda right now

>Lin is totally "experimenting" with Tatsu, though. She probably gets eaten out by him every week.
Well she is his wifeypon.

You don't necessarily have to possess a dick to pleasure a woman.

I have a feeling that the devs wanted something like that, but they just couldn't fit it in. Specifically the cutscenes thing.

The 4th district was probably going to be a Recrational District, with shit like Movie Theaters and Arcades (for the refights)

Elma x tentacles
(You) x Yelv

His tongue wouldn't be small enough to fit between her legs.

Believe or not, some women can take fuck huge dildos so I'm sure a dick probably the size of a adult leg wouldn't be an issue

There are some pics of Celica getting creampied

...

Well, definitely not with that attitude.

...

sadpanda?

Sup.

I know Nintendo doesn't usually do HD remakes for a last gen game but I hope they do it for the NX.
XCX's world was fucking fantastic and it needs a better system.

exhentai

...

How do I even get past the panda? Do you need a password or something?

...

Does this count?

notto disu shittu again

The shitty gameplay made me quit playing. One of the first times a game made me do that. I even played Brink because I didn't want to return it to the gamestop

Always screenshot your mims during cutscenes for Maximum Emotion.

Nigga they all generic shonen protagonists.
The wrong kind of Yuri, Bryce Paperbook, Jokester. The lot of them. Even Soldier. You look at their resume and all of them's been in Bleach and Naruto and all of the shonens.

>glasses and swimsuit
uh..

That quest was fairly hardcore.

LMAO WHAT IF WE COOK THE POTATO IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN XDXDXD AND BY POTATO I MEAN TATSU AHAHAHAHAHA XDXDXD YES LETS MAKE TATSU STEW LMAO OMG LOL
I don't even get to see this stupid bitch in a swimsuit because le think of le children meme
Fuck everything

Gotta get matching armor

And for good measure.

She's cute, don't bully.

Hey Jamal

It would be like rubbing your cooch on a couch.

Rock's dick would be too big for little ol' Celica. She needs some of that BHC (Big Human Cock)

My real name and and mim name are whiter than that

If you didn't notice, Celica is tinier than most humans. Even Ayylma is bigger than her, and Ayylma is smaller than her human mim.

I beat Telethia with a knife and a cannon

There's no such thing as "too big".

...

Definitely, and they should do some upgrades to make the game have more quality of life.
>Update the Enemy Index
>Do something with the broken roads
>Fix some animation errors

>60 FPS
>1080p
>You have to double jump to fly, so that Don't Worry doesn't play if you just want to cross a jumpable gap.

will they ever manage to translate the artwork into accurate character models?

A nice hot bukkake would fit her like a glove.

That's literally explained at the end of the game. Ganglion want humans dead because their dna holds the key to their destruction.

Artwork Lin is absolutely fucking adorable. Would daughter/sister her. And then fuck her when she gets hot and bothered

Too bad they fucked up her cheeks and eyes in the transition to 3D. They need to get better cheek modelers.

You can't fucking rate indigens together with sapient species, that's rude as fuck man, not cool.

>tfw Elma was embarrassed about her tiny titties, so she made her mim have massive mammaries so she could feel better about her lacking features

Elma is cute! CUTE! C U T E!

>mfw

Zaruboggans are descendants of the samaarians too

In the sequel, if there ever is one. The story seems like it'd be easy to continue, but the continuity with the Cross? Maybe a little on the difficult side, and alienating to newcomers.

Unless they release an updated version of X on whatever system they want to do the sequel on, and let the Cross carry over between Nintendo accounts.

Lin's chin is not that thin.

>Rock not in top tier
>Not even on the list at all
For shame.

No, the Samaarians created Zaruboggan and Ganglion. The Ganglion were more aware of their bondage, the Zaruboggan were told that the Samaarians were Golbagga, or whatever their God was called.

I forgot where you find this out, or if it was just piecing little bits of information together.

Saltats are sapient. They clearly worship things, form qt marches (or it was the Liceors in Sylvalum that did this exclusively, I forgot), and conduct bands of other saltats (like the saltat tower in Oblivia that is being conducted by a Saltat on the side)

SonRock the Hedgehog would've been high on the qt list if he didn't speak at all.

What if in the sequel, J-Bodies become a public thing and when the game start, they ask you to design a J-Body and give it a personality (VA), and later on in the game it's explained that Cross and Yelv were the first prototypes and the success of their existence lead to kickstarting a whole line of J-Bodies.

But his voice is part of his charm. Rock wouldn't be the same if he had a generic big guy voice instead of being a shota

Yeah, but you'd expect to see the savior of the Human race somewhere out and about town, considering Cross managed to pretty much save everyone, from helping Lin design the flight module, to killing Luxaar.
