Real disappointing from a company that drew the N on Star Ocean to also look live a V

The first five hours before your party sets off are really slow though.

By around 2 hours is basically when you should've already left Besaid

If that's the case then the opening battle, abandoned shrine, and salvage ship sections sure feel longer than they are. Sure you're not talking about speed running?

I've been really excited for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Wasn't a fan of the look of the characters, but I've become used to ignoring stuff like that playing jrpgs. But the latest reveal for one of the "blades" has kind of broken me.

I watched a video of some Xenoblade 2 gameplay and I'm not sure if the people playing it were just terrible or what, but the combat looks incredibly slow. They fought a mosquito for two minutes, and then they ended up fighting a wolf for so long that the day-night cycle kicked in and they busted out like 10 super moves in a row. I loved Xenoblade, but I'm on the fence on this one.

That sounds like they didn't really understand how to use the super mechanic or weren't switching Blades to keep their combos flowing.

It might also be footage from the demos where they upped enemy health in order to show off all the mechanics.

Also one of the times they showed it off they deliberately increased enemy health so they'd have time to explain the mechanics and everyone decided it was going to take 10 minutes to kill anything in the finished game.

That's a pretty dumb idea, but I can see why they'd think it was useful. I'll wait and see how the final game is before I make any judgments.

Having guest artists do the non-story blades, plus the dumb 'intro' animations, makes the game look like a F2P gatcha game, it's not great.

Xenoblade games have always had enemies that were damage sponges, but allegedly all of the gameplay demos/streams before this month have been from a build where enemy HP was inflated to show off the combat.

it's not really the worst design i've ever seen but it's also not good and the only design i've really liked is the goofy jester-y robot



her design changes when you upgrade her though and i don't like it cause it just sort of makes her a mecha maid

I really like the generic no-name blade designs a lot, so I hope they're not dumpster quality or whatever. And yeah same about Hana/Poppi, it's like we can't have a design that's just cool, gotta have her transform into a sexy maid as well of course.

Would you believe it's meant to be primary school and high school uniforms? (Poppi's deal is actually quite weird but I'm curious to see where they can possibly go with it.)

She turns into a maid mecha because Tora has a maid feitsh. That's all there is to it. Xenoblade 2 is full-on heavy anime so be prepared for that.

No, it's maid. Like straight-up he has a closet full of maid uniforms and she starts off with a maid-based personality before he quickly adjusts it in embarrassment.

I wonder if she'll have a third form where she's in college and just dresses super casual.

Honestly, that's an insult to the art in some gacha games. It just looks terrible. Like, it vaguely reminds me of FF8 Shiva, except worse. Which, given one hasn't come out yet and the other's almost 20 years old, is impressive.

At this point I'm convinced the first Xenoblade was a happy accident. It did have its share of annoyances, but XCX and XC2 seem to be on another level.
