Terper posted:Glad that the Melia/Nia expy is looking like the main love interest, happy for you girl and I don't even know you  this is almost certainly her wearing a mask - there were a couple other flesh eaters in the trailer but the outfit looks very similar & the core crystal shape is the same anyways im VERY EXCITED because XB2 is one of my favorite RPGs of all time

Nyoro posted:On the contrary, don't Flesh Eater Blades age normally? Minoth was an example of one where the process was botched, and he's still alive 500 years later. Jin became one around the same time, but he did it right, and he looks basically identical. They still live for a long, long rear end time, but they only get that one life. A regular blade lives for hundreds to thousands of years before maturing into a titan, but they effectively live several dozen different lives. ...Basically, they age, but only as much as the plot needs them to.

WrightOfWay posted:The gacha system is largely fine for normal play and only really gets bad if you want to 100% the game (don't 100% the game) or are really attached to a certain blade. You can't really get screwed because it's perfectly viable to complete the main game and even a fair bit of post game stuff with just the story blades. I do agree that common blades probably shouldn't exist because they are boring, even if mechanically they can be better than a lot of the rare blades. i liked the gacha for normal play specifically because it was fun getting cool (if bad) blades early on. Like, I think Perun's character design is cool, but I would've never used her had she not been one of the first blades I came across. Or, alternatively, getting Zenobia early on in another playthrough meant I was constantly searching out and challenging the assorted minibosses as early as possible, instead of avoiding them.

Field skills are fine, but they ideally should've been calculated from all of the blades you have, not just who's equipped. (maybe with the requirements changed around to "you need a blade that's at least this level" rather than "you need enough blades to reach this level") Because there's nothing fun about having to swap in 6+ blades to beat the required skill check only to immediately unswap them. If I can swap them freely then forcing them to be in the active party is just pointless busywork.

Shyfted One posted:Maybe if they explored more of his previous life. He doesn't show her the book because the idea of "I knew these people, I loved these people, and now I don't even know who they are" is freaking him out, and he doesn't want to bring it up to Lora because he loves her the same way, and admitting that he found the book is like admitting that he'll forget Lora one day too. And at the end, she's mortally injured and surrounded by enemies, and no one will be alive to mourn her. At best, Jin will be taken by the very people who killed her and used as a weapon. At worst, they'll use him as ingredients to make more things like Gort. Jin can't save her, but if he becomes a Flesh Eater... he can get revenge and, crucially, keep her memory alive. e: beaten while typing this, rip

OhFunny posted:I am really enjoying the gameplay of XC2 and I'd like to thank the goons who effort posted about it so much. Chapters 1&2 were pretty slow, but now that I have a full party here in Chapter 3 and am using pouch items and some good accessories the combat feels great with abilities recharging so fast. Everything has clicked for me in a way that it never really did for XCDE.

Ytlaya posted:I hope they at least balance XBC3 around more frequent regular skill use. While the big orb combos in XBC2 are fun when you succeed in doing them, you get almost no opportunity to do them during the main scenario. It'd be good if a larger portion of your damage came from more "regular" play. You can still give access to wild combos for harder encounters, but in XBC2 it seemed to always boil down to "geneerate orbs as quickly as possible and center your chips/equipment around maximizing the effect of those combos."  You see this thing? This thing has half a million health, and regens it at a rate of 25% every two seconds. You're supposed to defeat it by taking out its power supply. I didn't realize you were supposed to do that!! But hey, when you can get a big enough combo chain going, you can just blast through that entire health bar all at once!!!! Who needs gimmicks when you have overwhelming firepower?

Eopia posted:DE had some trickery you could do with the leveling system to farm affinity super easily with weak enemies that couldn't kill you but were too high level for you to actually hit, so you'd constantly proc the affinity qte things. I think in 2 you can create love sources but I don't know if that's actually faster than grinding it out if you can.

Silver Falcon posted:Hahahahaha I got 100% affinity with every single Blade except one. T-elos? One of her nodes requires you to jump some nutty number of times, sitting there mashing B like an idiot to get one node was where I drew the line. A: it counts every jump you've made retroactively, and i had a habit of bunnyhopping when bored B: there's a little overhanging roof somewhere in torigoth with just enough clearance that you can walk under it and still jump, but not actually have to wait to fall back down. It took like, a third the time it would if you were jumping normally I think one of the last ones I did before giving up was dagas, simply because I did like, 90% of it, did his quest, then realized that his quest resets his entire chart back to square one. gently caress you, dagas!!!

TurnipFritter posted:Switching which character you're controlling at any moment... it took them until the fifth game but they finally did it. Only healers being able to revive fallen allies in combat feels like an interesting choice. Between the Quick Step, Tanks having Aggro Zones for allies to take refuge in, and the other Field/Zone Arts we've seen it seems like positioning is gonna be more important than ever. (sometimes i simply cannot be arsed to walk around bigger monsters to stab them in the butt for +10% damage)

me: "hm, I've maxed all of shulk's skill trees. I should probably unlock the 4th one ASAP so i don't waste a bunch of SP, since that's annoying to farm. It shouldn't take too long to get Colony 9's affinity high enough to unlock that quest, right? I was able to max out the last village easily" XB1: "hahahahahahaha" i have done thirty six quests for these people, and i'm only at 2/5 stars. Shulk, how much of a shitbag neighbor were you before the game started??

nia is the worst driver because then you can't use her as a blade, which is much more fun to counterbalance this, they gave her the best mid-battle animations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-s3ul_N0j0

finally finished XB1 (with the exception of future connected & postgame shenanigans) my final thoughts are that its good and has a lot of fun moments but XB2 is overall better, especially where emotional moments are concerned also my final final thoughts are that fiora's epilogue hairstyle is cute but her being a cool cyborg was cuter can't wait to see how shulk's decision at the end was partially responsible for the world of XB3 getting bent over and hosed

kirbysuperstar posted:XCX isn't a game you use the tablet screen for that much, really only when you mess with FrontierNav so you don't lose much compared to a lot of games and it's easy enough to plonk it on a second screen just for the map or whatever. sadly $650+ is a bit pricey for anyone who doesn't literally use one as part of their job, but it's great if you already have one anyways, it's good to know that the tablet isn't exactly essential to the experience, even if it might be nice to have.

Ytlaya posted:CEMU actually seems like it automatically picks up all the mods, so you only really need to download the game* (which you then unzip and just stick into whatever folder you want CEMU to use for games) + the emulator. I also downloaded some graphics settings file, but this appears to have been unnecessary, since CEMU told me it was out of date and proceeded to download the up-to-date version. It was easier than I expected, since I remember having a much harder time getting Wii emulation to work some years back (this was partly because I went through the trouble of getting the wiimotes to work with the PC using bluetooth, but I also had lots of weird graphical issues when trying to play Skyward Sword). which isn't a problem when emulated, because the whole thing is already on the hard drive there was DLC for the japanese version, but it was bundled into the main game in the international release
