Clever Spambot posted:I'd rather they just gut the fetch quests honestly. Yeah, I'd much rather have exploration quests or monster hunting quests. Quests that make you rely on the RNG to complete are boring as poo poo because killing 50 of the same monster until you get the 3 items you need isn't challenging or engaging at all.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Wiimote and Nunchuk by far. They let you move the camera during combat and you can keep your hands super relaxed while playing, which is good since it's a loooooong game. This must be the first time I've ever seen some recommend the nunchuck. Use the Classic Controller.

Kingtheninja posted:I remember seeing fuel gauges for the mechs in videos, I really hope that isn't as annoying as it was in xenogears. Although maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, as I haven't played that in...14 years? Eh, running out of fuel in XG is actually pretty hard to do, even when you're abusing Booster. For the two or three boss battles where fuel mattered however, it really really sucked if you weren't ready. Hopefully the mechs just run on cooldown periods or something instead of an actual consumable resource.

Microcline posted:Define "original story". I can pretty much guarantee that this game is going to involve giant robots, goofy monologs about killing God, and a very unorthodox interpretation of gnosticism. Uhhh I dunno about you but fighting Maria in XSIII and snapping her neck over and over was pretty awesome. Almost made up for the Shevat air duct dungeon.

Kirios posted:What about on named enemies? Bosses? I've fought guys even 1-2 levels lower than me that would have likely decimated me if it weren't for Sharla's heals. You'd be surprised how well you can fare without Sharla. When Sharla's in your party, enemies die much slower, and she makes chain attacks terrible because she mostly has blue moves (you get bonuses for using moves of the same color all in a row). Remove her from your party, and slap all of the "this character heals for X% after a chain attack" skills on your party members. Then focus on doing chain attacks as often as possible. Enjoy. Riki is one of the better characters, especially for high level bosses. He gets several moves that inflict damage over time (like poison, burning, etc.), no enemy is immune to them, they each stack separately, and if you use them as the fourth or fifth move in a chain attack, the damage over time jumps ridiculously high (over 10k damage per second, depending on how well leveled the skills are). If you're worried about healing, Riki's got a move that'll heal himself and at least one other person.

Ciaphas posted:Does it generally matter what armor classes I put on each character besides thematic/appearance? For most of the game, light armor is generally better because of the agility bonus, since agility is far and away the most important stat in combat. As the game progresses into the endgame, armor class doesn't really matter because you get better agility bonuses from crafting gems and linking skills. My endgame party was decked out in all heavy armor, Melia included.

.TakaM posted:Thanks for all the info guys, does agility speed up the time in between auto attacks? Agility is your Accuracy and Evasion stats rolled into one. If it's high, monsters will miss you while all your attacks hit. If it's low, monsters will ruin your poo poo while all of your attacks whiff. High agility is a must for fighting monsters that are more than a few levels higher than you. Dunban is often the preferred tank because of his amazing agility, but Reyn makes up for it with his Bone Upper/Dive Sobat combo, so long as he hits with it (lowers enemy agility by 25%. Incredibly effective for endgame superbosses).

Absoloote posted:Anyone else thinking these characters look like kinda wax-work models of real game characters? It's just the natural result of changing the art designers. Xenoblade Chronicles had a team of people who designed the characters, whereas with X we get the artist who worked on Xenogears and Xenosaga. It's pretty disappointing. I really liked the art style of Soma Bringer, and Xenoblade Chronicles featured a fantastic evolution of that style and became something charming and unique. But now we're stuck with the creepy guy who designed MOMO.

Chronojam posted:Especially since apparently Shulk is going to be in Smash now if I hear the rumors right, it's a little disappointing. I really hope they are adding Shulk to Smash, because then we'd probably get a XB stage. Fighting on the Bionis while the Mechonis takes giant swings at you (or vice versa) would be pretty awesome.

mabels big day posted:I was doing some sidequests today when I finished the lighthouse one in Eryth Sea and unlocked a new skill branch for Melia. I didn't even know you could unlock skill branches for characters! Are there more, and are they all tied to quests like that? I'd look them up, but I'd like to avoid spoilers for the game. For reference, in the story, I have just defeated muhmkar at sword valley. Or rather, he fell down off the mechonis in his own hubris. I haven't gotten Fiora yet. Each character has two extra skill branches, and they're all tied to quests that don't unlock until you've got like 3-5 stars in an area. Hope you like sidequests! On the plus side, the extra branches max out much faster than the normal skill branches. The skills on those branches tend to be kind of broken though.

I love that new trailer. A big part of Takahashi's world building style is to constantly impress you with the physical scale of things, and it doesn't look like this game will be any different. You guys are getting too worried about the plot. Xenogears was his first game, and it got its funding cut, and Xenosaga was conceived as a 6-game clusterfuck. Also, Nintendo is overseeing it all. Just because the sci-fi elements are returning doesn't mean X is going to be a dissertation on Gnosticism, guys. I do hope though that the MC gets lines in battle. I'd be sad to see battle chat go away.

Dragon Quest VIII's localization set the localization style for all subsequent games in the series. Maybe the same will be true for Xenoblade, and we'll get British voices despite the game taking place in New Los Angeles.

-Map on the gamepad shows player location and quest goal areas, also allows fast travel to already visited areas. I really hope this also lets you find important NPCs related to quests. Finding NPCs was a pain in the rear end in XB. Junkie Disease posted:I think we could all do with a DK rap via heropons XBX needs a Nopon version of the Good King Moggle Mog song.

Chronojam posted:Is this confirmed? I don't think it's been outright stated anywhere, but I can't really think of any game that both allows you to customize the MC's voice, and gives the MC lots of voiced dialogue in cutscenes. I mean, it'd be kind of waste of resources to record the same dialogue for 20 different people. It's a pretty safe assumption to say that the MC will silent when the plot is happening.

The Taint Reaper posted:Saint's Row, Dragon's Dogma, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Monster Hunter gently caress, I have unwittingly outed myself as someone who has not in fact played any of those games.  How much cutscene dialogue does the MC get in those games? Do they have actual conversations that show personality, or it is more like a series of one-liners?

So happy to see that Takahashi noticed that healing by killing made for a way more fluid and enjoyable combat experience than having a dedicated healbot. I'm also excited to get 4 party members. 3 party members has always felt too small and limiting to me.
