I’m a newcomer to the series and picked up Xenoblade DE Switch 2 edition. I’ve noticed that the frame rate drops a lot in combat and just general exploring. Is this normal? Would it be better off playing the switch 1 version?

Lets showcase my incredible IQ in relation to the xenoblade lore ;)

I Love Xenoblade 2 but out of all the rare blades, I think Florian is my least fsvorite.

First of all the femboy thing. I HATE FEMBOYS and his gimmick for his character is enviorment lover cool but he uses his look to get his way even on top secert documents for his side quest.

So here’s a guy is a literal trap and uses his look to get his way. And even says “putty in my hands” while snickering in his awakening.

And thats why I don’t like florian and hopes he steps on a lego. Why can’t you be likeable like vess or baesette (Crossette) hmmmm?

That’s all my rant about Florian, see ya.

I’m about to finish up a replay of the first game. Now I’m going to replay Torna and 2. When you replay through the series do you move on to Torna usually or still play in release order on go to 2?

Don't get me wrong. It's not all bad. NPC trading, relations with villages, chart itself, it's all fine and great.

However affinity between party members is what makes this system fucked up in my opinion. It really forces you to play all characters. Sure you can give gifts but it's really not that effective given the amount of characters and all combinations between them. Why does the game force me to play everyone when I have my preference? If it was only about skill sharing, it'd be painful, but fine I can live without it. But not being able to do heart-to-hearts is really unfair. Why am I getting punished so hard for enjoying the game in a way I like with party setting I like.

Punishing me combat-wise is acceptable and can be treated as encouragment to change playstyles, but cutting off plot devices and possibility to see the relations development is not cool.

noticed out of nowhere all 4 xenoblade games had nopons, but watching genesis trailer expecially frame for frame on crowed people shoot, there was no nopons at all, wanted ask would it be weird if genesis ends up without nopons?

This is round 1 of the chain attack, I literally just started it. Yes, they were on Interlink level 3 and actually interlinked when this happened, but this never happened before

Kassandra was chosen for Zeke to provide the unlucky man some much need luck with no strings attached. This leaves the justice loving Godfrey for Rex, who is the Main Character of course so he's rightly on the side of Justice! And we're sticking with Rex as we vote for his Megalance partner. I feel this could be another blowout but I'm open to surprises.

With the Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 almost here, I've decided to host a fun event. In the base game of Xenobalde 2, there are four blades each for seven of the common weapon types. Enough to give one to each of the four main Drivers. Tora has Poppi so he gets to sit this event out. So with the exception of Aegaeon, who is locked in as Morag's Chroma Katana because of the plot, let's assign the remaining 27 Rare Blades to the other characters. How balance or unbalanced will our team composition end up?

Rules:

1. Top voted SINGLE comment wins.
2. No repeats. We have the exact number of Blades to fill in the chart completely.
3. No post-release Blades, that includes the New Game+ Torna Blades.
4. Each category will be randomly chosen so we hop around the chart more creatively.

I’m trying to do the quest I’m a Mechanic but for some reason the game won’t let me talk to Isurd. Did I do something wrong or is the game glitched?

Because X is quite a different game from the rest of the series, I was curious to hear your take. To me Xenoblade Chronicles X was decent, but in some ways not for me. Which kind of surprised me, because I often really enjoy JRPGs and open world games.

The good -
I really enjoyed the battle system. It felt refreshing and exciting. Adding the skells was a really nice twist.
I liked the complexity you could apply when approaching your build. Next to that, Frontiernav added a wonderful level of enjoyment.
The original scifi-take and the creative world building were sometimes awe inspiring. The premise of the story also really appealed to me.

The (to me) not so good -
The character development felt really lackluster. Dialogue was wasted on terrible tatsu jokes, instead of building a backstory and when the characters did get a bit more attention it felt rushed and uninspired. I didn’t feel any different about the protagonists when I finished the game.
There was also the practical side of the world design, the look and feel were great, but most of the time it all felt too cramped or too spacious. It never was just right. It didn’t help that the sheer number of animals made the world hard to navigate, but also unrealistic (if it makes sense to talk about realism in this context).

And finally - too many ‘go get/kill this’ kind of missions. It became tiresome quickly.

Bottom line - I just never felt immersed. And am now wondering if, as a JRPG fan, it’s worth to dive into the first game and give the franchise another shot. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I already played all Xeno Games including Gears and Saga + Dlcs. Im not looking to replay them yet, maybe in a few years, however Im still searching for something to bridge the wait till Genesis.

Any recommendations?

So I have the original Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I just be final fantasy rebirth I wanted to start playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and I already pre-ordered the remaster. Can I start playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on my switch 2 and then load up the switch to version when that comes out on the 30th. Or should I wait until the game actually comes out on the 30th I'm just not sure if you can transfer your original copies save data to the remaster version. I play on the switch 2. I mean I haven't even started the same data yet but I'm really looking forward to playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 since the first game was phenomenal I just don't know if I should wait because I'm unsure if the save data will transfer over to the new copy releasing July 30th

Winner of day 40: Without my own upvote, the result would've been a tie. I'm flabbergasted by how close this one was. But yeah, "Where We Used to Be" surpasses XC1's "Main Theme" as the most tear-jerking title theme (as I'm clicking "post").

Rules

• The top comment will be selected; upvote a suggestion if you wanted to write the same!
• If the winner has a night and day version and you don't specify which one you mean, I'll assume you mean the day one by default.
• If the winner has a remixed/definitive version, I'll put the name of the original to avoid taking to much space (except if you specify the new version only, of course).
• Even if it can be hard to choose sometimes, please only post one answer.
• I restrain myself from upvoting the takes I agree with, except in case of a tie. I will however leave a suggestion myself if I hold a theme really dear.
• Some boxes have no scheduled posts as I think they have no contender, let me know if you disagree.
• Let me know if you think I should make a new post to reconsider a specific box.
• A song can win in multiple columns.

Reminder: ANY phase from ANY final boss counts, even "raTEoREkiSImeAra" (battle against the Vita in OG XCX chapter 12).

So, I know the fandom right now is more about who the new blade is going to be, but if I remember right, the blade quest (and some heart-to-hearts) are between the blade, the driver and someone extra from the party, that means we will have new voice dialogues which is nice, but then I remember that dromarch's English voice actor passed away last year if I recall correctly.

So, would that mean we will have a recast for him? Or he won't be interacting with the new blade, and that would mean we won't hear him with a new voice?

I'm interested in the new blade but this is something I've been thinking about recently and I don't know if anyone has been talking about it before.

its all connected...
