SatansBestBuddy posted:So has anyone beaten the game yet? Be interested to know how big this game is, at least from a storyline perspective. As of yet no one has beaten the game to the collective internet's knowledge. Furthest along streamer is in Chapter... I wanna say 8 or 9, not sure, haven't been keeping up with his stream. No sign of being close to the end of the game, either.

Here's some gameplay and the music in it is pretty good (no vocals either, no idea if it has spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06ZMXPK8M-g And for those of you complaining about the soundtrack, sure it's not as good as Xenoblade's was but that's a really loving high bar to reach. Just remember it could always be worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjxPj3al5U  Supercar Gautier posted:Jesus christ, you'd hope (maybe not expect, but HOPE) they would at least keep it in their pants with the 13 year old character.

At a point you need to stop complaining about Sawano and start complaining about the people who told him what kind of music they wanted and signed off on what he gave them. There is some really poor usage of music in this game that is definitely not his fault. Like hey maybe we should ask him to chill out on the lyrics for this music we want to use in big dramatic cutscenes with lots of talking. Nah. Maybe we shouldn't make music for flight mode start and stop every time you hop in your robot and fly fifty feet. Oh we've got this cutscene with a lot of action and stuff happening in it maybe we should put one of the many big bombastic tracks we have to work with behind it. No, actually we had a meeting and decided that silence would be better for some reason. Save the music for when people are trying to talk. lets hang out fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Apr 28, 2015 |

I dunno they didn't change anything about Iron Bull in Dragon Age and that has the same rating as this game. ESRB rating for this is M.

As nice and chill as it was to just wander around Bionis it was a little slow without wasting precious gem slots. And that music is pretty great, so I have a lot more hope for the overall soundtrack now. Besides, Persona 3/4 have given me a healthy tolerance/appreciation for English lyric battle music; it seriously grows on you after a while. e: also sharrrk posted:this song owns what the hell are you talking about

Playing through XC on the Wii for the second time, game's much more interesting with the map and art descriptions and enemy info all turned off. Plus I can't believe I went Shulk-Reyn-Sharla so drat much last time, almost any mix of the other four is so much more hectic and fun (and hard with less health recovery).

Xenoblade came about because Nintendo told them to put the Xeno name in the series since these were the same people who made Xenosaga and Xenogears and it would help people warm up to Xenoblade.

I wouldn't say that different means better. In many ways I feel as though XBCX looks inferior to the original. The classes don't seem as distinct as the original party's different kits, party members appear fairly bland, I personally dislike the music, the setting isn't as obviously interesting, turbo mode doesn't seem as satisfying as chain attacks, etc.

But yeah not a whole lot of party shifting was needed in battle and I mostly did it just for the heart to heart events. that and to 100% all the achievements ont eh first playthrough.

Here's another picture of Lyn in questionable armor for those of you easily skeeved out for dumb reasons who want more reasons to not get the game, I'm watching a stream and finally managed to get a good shot of it: This stuff doesn't affect me or bother me at all.

I think it's perfectly fair to see "and here's the DLC pack" and have misgivings. The industry has bent over backwards to make "DLC" a dirty phrase, after all. However, while I don't know how much of a grip on the reins Nintendo has at Monolith, I am reasonably sure that the DLC they throw down for Xenoblade X will not be bullshit. I will not say without qualification it will be good, but it's more likely than not, and if nothing else I expect that it's going to be a satisfyingly large and/or interesting chunk of content for the price. The armor for Lyn in that screenshot is actually really close to being good. It just needs a shirt under the jacket. Is anybody streaming this who took the Forcer path? I want to see those in action, but everybody's going down Assault or Command trees. And my desire to see Blast Fencer/Galaxy Knight (the photon saber/psycho launcher class) is in mild conflict with my desire to not get story spoilers, and I don't know how far in you'd be before you could realistically get those classes. I already saw a really huge spoiler and I wish I hadn't.

He spends most of his time oneshotting enemies with his mech now though. On how long it takes to reach and max rank one of the end classes. About 15-20 hours maybe? Based entirely on how many quests and stuff you do.
