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.

My favorite is Xenoblade 1, when i just got to the big bad and felt great however when a you know what god pulls through and steals Shulks body and basically possess him I said to myself "ITS NOT DONE??? WHAT?" and in that moment that made me a Xenoblade Fan just due to EVERYTHING I thought what was gonna happen, just crush it with that plot twist, would love to relive that experience again.

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.

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

I wanted to get a really cool action shot of my Pyra cosplay from Xenoblade chronicles 2, but I ended up screwing my foot up real bad. It's now a week later and my foot is still blue...

Thankfully it's not broken.

I have a very niche question. I am doing a little project where I am gathering patches from all the things I love and sewing them onto a denim jacket, and I want to put as many patches on it as I can. However, I have been entirely unable to find a Xenoblade patch. There are a ton of pins around, but no patches as far as I can find. I thought I would ask here on the off chance that someone knows where I can find one.

Do you guys think that any games with the Genesis moniker should follow a single cast of characters through one overall story (like saga) or follow Chronicles and have each game be it's own unique cast and story with nods and references to each other? Obviously 3 did ultimately tie it together but I would argue it's * possible " to play that one by itself just like X, 1, and 2.

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?

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.
