Clever Spambot posted:Differing opinions are not "revisionist history" you tool. No, but coming into the Xenoblade thread to say "Xenoblade sucks here's what you SHOULD be playing" is stupid, a matter of opinion and therefore subjective to taste, and I'm pretty sure it's considered threadshitting.

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. If you can get used to this it's probably fine, I couldn't. Classic controller here. Picked the game back up on a whim, not sure what to do with my save after the credits. Working through the replica quests now, but I don't seem to be high enough in level to get the other skill trees.. Any advice?

NTT posted:Confirming that my playthrough of Xenoblade got way more fun when I shelved Sharla and learned to love the "heal from chain attacks"/Light Heal spam that accompanies the dps you put out as a Not-Sharla team. This happened right when I recruited Seven and finally trusted this thread at arm's length again. Holy gently caress, the entire game changed.

Bobnumerotres posted:I hope the new Xenoblade has better designed towns. I got lost at the first one in the game trying to look for NPCs I had to talk to and poo poo it was just a mess. Plus there is a ton of walking, I appreciate the sense of scale but wandering around big empty cities/fields gets old. The only town I ever had issues with was Alcamoth though. I guess if you aren't using some FAQ or the wiki then Frontier Village was a pain, but I felt the rest were very straightforward.

LawfulWaffle posted:Around what level should I expect to get the last character? I plug away at the game here and there, and I just got Melia at level 31. Everyone raves about this "seven" and I'd like to know, roughly, how much further into the game I need to go to find him/her/it and start rolling with a full party. Keep going and enjoy figuring out the dynamics of different parties. You'll recruit Seven before you're done.

Pollyanna posted:I just got to the big snowy area in Xenoblade 1. First of all, what the gently caress is this camera That camera is pretty awful, but the area gets better after the start. Re: Melia, use Thunder and Ether gems and Dunban or Reyn with anyone BUT Sharla. Spend the start of a battle just popping a defensive element, Thunder, and copycat that. Fire one, if you don't pull aggro fire the other. Dunban and Shulk will be very competent at keeping the hate, you can play with your party composition for gaining affinity or doing chain attacks. I hope X plays just like Xenoblade

I've already accidentally fallen off a cliff and died. Second, what's the best thing to do once you enter a new area? I usually replace the more outdated pieces of my equipment with vendor crap and then go after enemies to grind for better equips, but that's usually an uphill struggle since things can kill you pretty easily if they're white or above.

ajkalan posted:I think it's "Like a fly bit me!" but that might be the second battle. Also nothing about Xord ever gets old. Reading this thread and playing Xenoblade near its US release, I really REALLY hoped Xord was Seven. I don't know why I was convinced it could be likely. (Midgame spoiler)

Chronojam posted:You probably talked to somebody that knew more about him and subconsciously made the connection -- BIG TWIST spoiler one of the named NPCs in Colony 9 is his daughter and talks about him being a blacksmith offhand Yeah, I did. And everyone here was being so hush-hush about identity, I was expecting something crazy out of left field. FWIW I don't mind what we got, the identity is predictable but how they got there wasn't so much.

BlackFrost posted:So I want to try this Xenoblade Chronicles thing out that everyone won't shut up about. Do y'all suppose it's worth waiting for the 3DS release, or would the game be better played on a Wii? $60 ain't exactly that steep for a game that looks like it'll consume a stupid amount of my time, but if the 3DS version is gonna be cheaper (and portable, that's a bonus) without losing too much then it might be worth it? I dunno. Portable RPGs are pretty awesome. No one has played the new port, but it's a very long game that's probably better for extended couch time.

Louisgod posted:I think you should get the poster retrofitted onto a body pillow so that you can gently caress it whenever you're in the mood. Make that Monado learn a new art. Jesus, I read the rest of the thread and I'm still laughing at this Somehow the eyes on that Irinachia look more dead than anyone in Xenoblade.

planetarial posted:You mean ACE+ and Kiyota right? Yasunori did one flipping track and Shimamura did like six. ACE+ and Kiyota were responsible for 85% of the soundtrack in Xenoblade. Before Xenoblade I would have told you ACE+ is a really great bandage. So much respect for them, and those orchestral cuts. And to be fair, Shimomura did eleven tracks for Xenoblade.

The Taint Reaper posted:I can't remember where the first one is from, but the second one was just the generic battle music that I have no strong opinions over. It's the named monster fight. Did you even have the sound up while playing XB? You Will Know Our Names is one of the best JRPG rock battle themes since Still More Fighting.

SatansBestBuddy posted:I'm pretty sure you don't need to avoid it, more you need to actually look for it. It's there if you put on armour with lovely defense, but Lyn's your tank so why would you equip that armour on her unless you want to stare at her tatas? Are you dancing around the issue or attempting a "no u"? It's alright to admit that you're excited to play a game despite Japanese fanservice.

That's awesome and all, but don't you think people would prefer spoiler tags for a game virtually no one has played yet? edit: yes you idiot I'm worried about the story when discussing postgame cameos.

I said come in! posted:Xenogears suffers from being a gigantic text dump at the start, the pacing really sucks. This was a common issue in jrpgs during the PSX era. A really bad trend with the reasoning being that making games more and more cinematic and story driven would always been a good thing. Wait, I love Xenogears. I was talking about the Xenosaga games. There's a short text dump, then a town to wander (with a Chrono Trigger cameo!) and some combat immediately after. It's good.
