The camera in Xenoblade 3ds. I have to keep moving that poo poo. There is no good default. I love the name to bits though.

Unleashing my best...

LUMINARY UPPERCUT!!

Xenoblade 3D looks bad because it's a MASSIVE Wii JRPG being ported to a system that can't exactly handle the game's graphics or resolution. The game should've been designed around the 3DS' specs and be ported better, yes.

At the same time, if you don't have a good enough PC, and you wanna play a Really Good RPG, AND you have a New 3DS? Xenoblade 3D is a pretty good investment mainly for the story and gameplay. It's a good game, the port DOES have flaws, but the graphics shouldn't hamper you too much to experience a JRPG that's hard as hell to find for the original system anymore.

It's more about the camera angle and how with some larger enemies the arts bar covers up the player. I love exploring with the camera zoomed a bit closer, but combat necessitates a more pulled out view.

I should muck about with the settings sone more, but it at least it's still super fun to play and the cut scenes have their charm.

It's also absurdly predictable so I'm not sure why people act like it's a twist.

I feel like half the people who are really all-in on Xenoblade's plot are people who never saw a mecha show before and so don't realize it's basically a giant bolted-together collection of cliches held together by British voice acting and so have convinced themselves it is distinctive and unique. Which is hilariously exactly what happened with Xenogears too!

I like themes, I like the various free themes I have acquired since that became a thing, but every time I get a new one I switch to one of the plain colors about a week or so later and I figured out why: the sound effects and music starts to become annoying instead of pleasing. Like, right now I'm toying with the idea of buying that purple Espeon/Umbreon theme because it's gorgeous and even the music is great, but I know I will get annoyed at it and switch after a while. I wish there was a way to just mute the themes or preferably to revert to the basic system sounds, while keeping the look.

Do you really spend that long on the menu to really get tied of the sound effects/music?

Also, there's also the Shuffle option you could put all your favorite themes into so that no one of them gets used too often.

I guess I'm not sure how you could be spending enough time on the home screen to get annoyed by the sound effects. Like I've bought a few themes but I'm only on that screen for like 5 seconds every time I turn on my 3DS

I keep switching games, going to Miiverse, etc, which always brings the home menu, which always does the beep effect of getting to said menu along with starting the theme's song. It gets rather repetitive. Just wish for more options to deal with themes, but now that jivjov is here it will be impossible to discuss that.

I really do plan on getting this theme regardless:

Why would my entering the discussion make it impossible to discuss? I can imagine if you're bouncing from app to app, the first handful of seconds of the theme's music would get annoying...but again, if you have a collection of themes, could you not use the shuffle option to keep things fresh?

This wouldn't be a problem if you were using the MGS3 theme, the greatest theme of all time.

No seriously why would you even bother with another theme? They're just there to annoy you OP.

Have you not noticed that most of the time anyone wants to discuss something they are getting annoyed by, you drive by, disregard the whole issue, and immediately go on the defensive? It's disruptive not to mention bloody annoying and it happens every single time.

Like, do you think I don't know there's a shuffle option? I have like four themes: shuffling them wouldn't make this issue better.

Jeez.

I didn't know if you knew about the shuffle option; you didn't mention it in your post, so I thought I'd being it up if you didn't know about it.

The only time I "drive by" is when people are being irrational, spreading false or hyperbolic information, and making mountains out of molehills. You posted a perfectly rational concern and weren't raging about how Nintendo is incompetent.

As for the MGS3 theme, it came as a bonus for buying the game digitally, but it's also available for individual purchase.

Got the Luigi, Hanafuda, Onemuri Pikachu, Sonic Boom, Splatoon, Pokemon Hanafuda, Game & Watch and Shantae. The only one I hate is the Onemuri Pikachu one because they looped the music badly. Hanafuda and Game & Watch have great themes because they are original songs and I never get tried of hearing them. Just need 3 more for a full shuffle, Thinking of getting Swapnotes, RIP Nikki, and a Pikmin one.

I don't think the 3DS has Vita levels of battery where you can leave it in standby for 3 weeks and it'll still be at like 60%

With Streetpass off it gets pretty close. All that passive wireless stuff is what kills the 3DS sleep battery life.
