It's trash. Simple as.

This was fun when it was an uncommon exclusive on an uncommon platform. Few people actually played it, and when they did, they meant it.
Now?
4 different variations across 3 platforms + PC emulation and bots are programmed to spam threads.

Internet~ The year 2026!~~ !~YAY~!

>>734075818
You know she's just going to kill you and take all your savings, right?
Also it's weird how anyone would team up with someone named 'Murderess'

I actually really like this game. Fucking comfy lying in bed playing a game like this in 1080p60fps. Also Elma is hot. I am still in the first few hours so I have few other thoughts. I hope Xenoblade 2 gets the same treatment one day.

Maybe they could update the game to use DLSS instead of whatever they're using today.

Can someone help me understand what the specific problems are with the added chapter? It sounds like some autists are upset the game has been placed in a multiverse alongside the mainline games, but I assume there's more to it than that.

Anon, it's like comparing different endings to the same film:
>1 = CLIFFHANGER
>The ending reveals a plot twist and THE END~!
>Writers get to make a last bang, build expectations, and then let anyone define the plot how they want. People love it because it's like they get to talk about all the "what ifs" they, or anyone else, can think of. They can replay the game with new plot knowledge and look for any more hints and talk about what they find with friends and family! Instead of closure, they get an exciting jumpscare and feel thrilled!!

>2 = EXPLAINED
>The ending continues with the recent plot twist, creates new explanations for the revealed twist, closes all discussion points with endings, events, deaths, marriages, etc. and THE END~!
>People walk away from the media with product to digest and discussion becomes synonymous with rantings. Writers have to live up to expectations, usually without success, and any closures stop the fun of imagination. Tying up points with already established plots from other stories now brings outside opinions from previous (and future) titles into relevancy, which usually leads to enormous criticism.

Does that help you understand?
In summary; the added chapter stopped gamer imagination. And, for a fantasy story, that isn't fun.

>>734076456

Anybody else wanted to play this game since the Wii U days, but knew the Wii U version would be ass, and also the Switch 1 version? I actually used my last Switch voucher on this game in January and then the Sw2 Edition was announced and released pretty damn soon after. Finally playing after 11 years of waiting for the "good" version.

>>734078528
I played both versions on PC

>>734078459
Not yet, I hope we don't have to wait until the physical release for an update.

>>734078220
>no idea
Yeah, I guessed as much.
Just decided to gossip and repost the "DE" media images, over and over and over and over for years and years. Some "emulatePIRATE" it so they didn't buy it, either. You're very right.

>>734078106
>In summary; the added chapter stopped gamer imagination. And, for a fantasy story, that isn't fun.
I think there's truth to this, but it's all about striking a proper balance between mystery and explanation. It's equally bad for a story to end by setting up some massive mystery which it never resolves since it typically leaves you feeling unsatisfied and frustrated. What you really want is a story that explains the focal mysteries whilst leaving some things left unsaid on the periphery. Tolkien really had the right idea with Tom Bombadil, him being unexplained added layers to the world of Middle Earth.

>>734077250
Retards thought a small epilouge would "fix" X's story when in reality the story got fucked the moment they reworked it mid development back in ~2013 and had its plot elements repurposed in XC3. I can understand why they just wanted to put a bow on X and move on

>>734073507
I didn't even buy the switch 2 edition because it fucking SUCKS

What if we added a chapter to "The Sixth Sense" and include it in the "Star Wars" universe? Would that make it better?

>>734078589

>>734082231
You can eject the update if your copy is physical, supposedly there is a way if your copy is digital, that you have to press + 5 times so the upgrade doesn't download or something like that. Apparently the mass refunds was a reddit psy op and even if they refund it I wouldn't waste your "one and only" refund for 5 bucks.

dude I have a pretty strong pc. I know I could have emulated it whenever over these years. I wanted the actual game on the new console so I could play the game in bed lying down in 1080p60. Any problems with the Sw2 version I imagine will be improved over time.

I really don't understand why ch 13 is disliked that much. I understand most of the greviences the wii u fans had. But the ending itself was great.

Just wish the next game actually implements your skell in the cutscenes.

>>734078220

>whole game about starting up a new stage for humanity and colonizing a new planet.
>Spend hundreds of hours getting to know the side characters, building up relationships with other alien races, incorporating them into this new civilization.
>original game ends on a cliffhanger of "there's something about this planet" in the mainstory, and Elma's final story is essentially an epilogue of "Can't wait to see what's next for Mira."
>DE comes out, chapter 13.
>"How's it popping?" Al steals the show. Hinted at once or twice in the main story, and everyone all of a sudden starts sucking his dick like he's the greatest thing ever!
>This whole planet you've been building up? Akshurry, Conduit multiverse story shit dictates this whole planet has got to go. Everything you've built up is now meaningless.
>End game on them entering another universe and looking at another planet to colonize.
>Maybe it's connecting all the Xeno stories together cause everything has to be fucking connected now in the most tasteless way :^).
It destroyed the chance of a X2 because it's now just incorporated into the Conduit Multiverse shit. We could've had the sequel of humanity taking the next step of colonizing other worlds with new alien tech and space fleets, but instead Monlithsoft has a huge boner of wiping away everything you work on. They did it with Xenoblade 3, and they had to do it fucking again for XDE. I'm really sick of their shit.

>>734084246
Not your boogeyman. X will never get a sequel. at best, it will get a cameo in the main universe.

>>734084334
i mean your last point can still work for a sequel. the ending basically teases it.

>>734084334
This is why I want them to move on to a new IP.

>>734084539
The way they incorporated the multiverse shit in chapter 13 spells too much doom for a sequel to me. Even if they did do a sequel, it's tainted with the multiverse shit, knowing anything is that sequel's game world is meant to push the multiverse leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Monolithsoft is really wanting to tie them all together so once we get to Xenoblade 6 or whatever, we can have Shulk say "Xenoblades, Assemble!" and all of the Xenoblade protags show up to battle the evil Conduit man once and for all. It's funny to me that years ago, the hints of X that connected to the original Xenoblade seemed fun (Telethia apperance), Xenoblade 2's connection to Xenoblade 1 was a fun surprise. But I feel like since 3, they are REALLY obsessed with the multiverse schtick that it's muddling everything. Who cares about any new world when we know it's some ploy to connect back to the conduit?
>>734084554
I think they do need to move onto a new IP, cause Xeno is getting out of hand.

As a man who's only played the Wii U XCX, I love the plot line of
>Escaping humans land on new planet
>Perfect for colonization, New Earth
>Downside it, they lost their energy core and a lot of storage tube humans -- gotta find 'em quick, before time runs out
>Literally only one single sentient lifeform is found on the planet and already calls happy-go-luck horned self L'cirufe
>As events progress, you discover that, after being MORTALLY WOUNDED... you're actually a robot!
>Actually, EVERYONE'S a "robot!"
>Yeah, they're alive, they're just in those aforementioned storage pods that we're all looking for.
>You can "die" all you like, it doesn't really matter, you'll just come back to life and continue
>**game plays**
>You find the main pod/core/whatever that you were looking for!
>"Hooray! Now we can restore everyone from their living sleep and get back to colonization on this real planet!"
>WAIT
>UH
>...turns out... everyone's DEAD!? I'M dead!?
>In fact, we've ALL BEEN dead since, like, months ago!?
>Then HOW THE FUCK have we been running around as robots!?
>WHAT IS THIS PLANET???

I will always stick with the idea that XCX was about USA humans have crashed on Mira... and Mira is Purgatory or maybe even Hell, and Lucifer is having a great time. THE END.

>what the fuck?
Mira (Hell) becomes a place for all sorts of living things to die and be reborn at, from across the universe, and possibly from all sorts of different time periods. Mira could be one of many Purgatories, really. The only way all this "could happen" is through what's essentially magic, or, in this case, super-natural spiritual afterlife miracles.

What's wrong with the Switch 2 update? I haven't bought it yet.

>>734085401
I was going to buy it but I've heard that it is broken.

I only have 1080p TV and monitors, should I buy it?

Is Ares the best Skell or another?, because you can slap mega weapons on a "generic" skell and dish pornographic amounts of damage, but Ares has that "i'll fuck you up" weapons so I don't know.

why is the switch 2 version so shit I want to play

>>734086437
Ares is the best out of the box, but a properly geared up level 60 skell will outperform it.

>>734086071
Wait doesn't this imply that, once everyone arrives at the new planet, no one will be able to understand each other anymore?

>>734086487
that's what I thought I busted my ass for like almost 20 hours to get Ares because some anons told me that Ares was outright the best just to keep my Lailah with megaweapons.

Also what's the best ground combo weapons and class?

>>734086497
Yes, but considering the technological level of some of the species there is no reason they can't develop a translator. Also Xenoseries has literal capital G God(s) in them. Who is to say they don't snap their fingers and make it permanent?

It went completely off the rails, retconned what was previously established and decided to retrofit X to fit in with the 1-2-3 timeline.
I don't mind it, but it was handled kinda poorly. The extra chapter feels like it's from an entire different game.
Xenoblade X was very obviously designed as a prototype to 3, having many of the same plot devices and gameplay elements like the class system and focus on a military setting.
I don't mind the direction it took, and I actually do like parts of chapter 13, but it certainly was not what anyone had in mind.
>The ominous cliffhanger of Lao waking up on the beach with glowing eyes, the hooded figure looking malevolent.
>Turns out it was the afterlife, lead to a peaceful resolution scene and the hooded figure was actually The True Main Character all along.
It was a complete 180.

>>734075881
>threw away the best aspects of the original while doubling down on its worst aspects (MMOshit).
Yep, XCX was a mistake. Seems like Monolith agrees considering they went out of their way to kill the subseries with XCX:DE lmao.

>>734086609
I mean with ares you can beat almost every super boss but if you want variety you can build another one
I can't remember which one I had, I think it was a verus cain because I liked melee attacks

>>734086437
if you're focused on ground combat ares90 will suffice. Otherwise mastema or dozer are the true one/two shot wonders. And lailah for actual prolonged combat.
>>734086609
drifter is the only good class.

>>734086965
Thelethia is aerial so that discounts Ares.

>those smeary ass trees

The cliffhanger was extremely interesting, I mean it was a piece of shit to end with that cliffhanger but the concept of it I really liked it
I guess they just wrote themselves into a corner

>>734086071
Basically, yeah.
And everyone who arrives on Mira can't seem to remember how, exactly, and their most recent memories basically seem on the verge of death. And there are that race of all-female people, too, right?

>>734086849
lao's va was also dead so that cut their plans. I don't really see al stealng your spotlight anyore than elma did. And atleast Al more often sees you as the mc.
>>734087062
you can bait all flying enemies to go close near a ledge or platform.

Something I don't really like is how much they start jerking off your character. In the base game, you're only really the main character of the side content. When it comes to the main story, you're just a soldier on Elma's squad, albeit a good one, and the narrative is mostly focused on her. In Chapter 13, they start sucking you off hard and treat you like a messiah and the next hero. Ultimately I don't really mind it that much but it's just a clear shift in writing.

Anon Xenoblade X had creatures from other timelines since the beginning, Professor B, the other aliens, the Telethias are not native to Mira and probably not even the same universe. Mira was always some tipe of space shithole. It's sad to see it go though.

One is a regular ether spike, if you don't have maxed out Ether res you're going to die pretty quickly.
It later on gets one called Soul Read, that lets it dodge the next 150 hits you throw at it. Multihits are the best attacks there since you go through that counter faster.

I recently started Xenoblade 1, my first time with the series.

>>734091453
I tried the meme ghostwalker trick, it never fucking worked! So I tried to kill it using skells. Im able to do it until a certain point but when the telethia lands it activated its bullshit deus x machina art that all my skells stop working and we all die somehow? So I need to one shot it. It so much grinding man...

>>734091453
There's two likely candidates. One is that Telethia activated one of its auras that reflect elements (electric and ether), and your weapons are of those, so you instantly die upon attacking it. Either use weapons of not those elements or add a Negate Reflect aug to your build.
Second option is that you're misting Ghostwalker. GW makes you invincible during the attack animation, but after it finishes, it gives you a Decoy buff that lets you dodge the next 5 attacks. If an enemy hits you more than 5 times before your next GW, you're just going to die. Telethia has a couple attacks that hit 8 times at once, so you need to ideally activate GW the moment you see one of those, so you dodge all hits with the animation, then have the Decoy buff for the single-hit attacks after.

>>734091629
Yes but faggots will keep playing the shitty version regardless

>>734091634
The "intended" way to kill Telethia is to fight the first phase on air, land for the second phase and fight it on foot, then fly again for the final phase. So you'd need to have both a good mech and ground build at once.

>>734090584
doing this is so counterproductive, frontloading the content on purpose will make the game a drag,

shouldn't take you more than 20-24 hours at that point, this game's exploration shines when you get the skell with the flight module.

>>734092526
I forgot as well to mention that the whole game is about working with the planet but the ending it gives is about EVERYONE FUCKING OFF to ANOTHER PLANET

>>734091629
PC version is best way to play it. That being said this is still a 5/10 game and nothings going to change that

>>734092056
If you mean just multiplayer in general, it's pretty barebones. You just accept squad missions and your friends help you fight it but it's just "kill x enemies" tier stuff. The other online features is squad tasks, which is just general stuff you can do while playing the game normally. You're put into a lobby with a bunch of randoms around the world whenever you start a game and everyone in that lobby has the same squad tasks and contribute to it. When it's completed, everyone in the lobby gets reward/material tickets (they're the same thing but it's a different term depending on whether you're playing the Wii U or Switch version). The main reward from squad missions are also material tickets, so the online features are basically just to get tickets. The tickets are things you can trade to get materials and it's a godsend since farming rare materials can be a pain the ass, so it just reduces gear grind. There are also things called Scouts which are basically just NPCs of other players in your lobby and you can recruit and play with them.

CEMU obviously doesn't have online but there are mods to let you do squad tasks and missions offline. I imagine a lot of CEMU players just cheat in tickets though.

I liked XCX, but if there's one thing I hated THE MOST about the game, it was the constant re-starting music themes when in Skell mode. As a man who loves listening to music, making it probably the most charming and desireable part of any media I consume... having it constantly re-start between two different themes SUCKED. I literally avoided using Skells EVER AGAIN, as a result. Not joking.

To compensate my rant, I liked the Ma-non Ship theme.

So is this another L for the "PC Master Race"? Everyone was hyping this up as basically a PC exclusive, and yet it's solid dogass. What happened?

>>734093150
Just look up the changes between the Wii U version and Switch version and come to your own conclusion. Personally I think the Switch version is an overall better package.

>>734092685
>That being said this is still a 5/10 game
Trvth

The writing and setting is interesting but the game itself is very padded out and is essentially a single player MMO. It comes complete with vast empty fields and areas you can take a wrong turn into and be completely outleveled and theres the whole "contribute to this event or you dont have a resource" thing MMOs do too.

>>734093696
No you are misinterpreting it. The game provides the best overall experience on the PC. Shit like multiplayer is rather meaningless and just adds to the tedium

>>734093428
DE gives the Skell a normal jump button after you get flight so this isn't an issue anymore

>>734093918
Tickets are a resource but you're making it sound like something you need when it's really just an extra to let you buy materials that are available through normal grinding and gathering. You don't ever have to use them if you don't want to. Also saying X is padded out is weird considering it's basically just as long as any other Xenoblade game if you just rush story, the side content is there so people who like the game have more to play. Might as well say the entire series is padded and at that point you just don't like Xenoblade so why are you even here?

>>734094456
Depends on how you're planning to play the game.
The S2 version adds a weird upscaling that can make the game look a bit blurrier, this is most notable when playing handheld. I played mostly docked at 1080p and it was barely noticeable there. In exchange, you also get 60 fps.

>>734094456
The switch 2 version is just the $5 for a patch.

Had 200 hours in it, completed every character episode and 100% exploration. Also built a super mecha that could take on the dragon in the forest. Would be 10/10 if not for the poorly paced epilogue.

I technically only explored the necessary bits because fucking overlevelled enemies everywhere. Getting the skell asap made exploring actually fun.

When you can fly the world then feels small. You've seen everything, the scale dissipates.

Chapter 13 is only a let down because some people for some reason assumed that Xenoblade X, a game that's not even 1/4th done, would somehow have all of it's cut content restored with ONE new chapter.

I want X2 but only if it's made with the same design philosophy as X. 2 and 3 were so mediocre

>>734102124
Ch13 is a let down because it's like the took XB3s bullshit level design and progression, and tried to retrofit it in to X.

>>734117405
>>734117664
The WiiU version had breast slider in the character creator that was removed for the NA version. You had to download the Japanese version and move your save to that just to changes your character's bust. The Switch version is based off the NA version for all regions since that one came out later and had all the updates preinstalled so that's why they used that one instead of the original Japanese one. This also meant Japan didn't get the bust slider too for their Switch version. Real retarded situation

I don't get people who say there's not going to be a sequel nothing about the Ghost was resolved and the plot summary screen's last line ends with a To be continued. I really don't see why the next game wouldn't be X2 beyond the sales thing and MonolithSoft doesn't really care about that.

>>734117848
No

>>734117889
You didn't need to go that far to change your bust size. The address and values for the bust slider in the save file were known, you could pull the file off your WiiU on an SD card (you needed one anyway for the asset pack installation), edit it with Saviine, and then put it back in.

The address and values were quickly figured out for the DE release because they were essentially unchanged from the original.

How does "elma" rank in this?

>>734112124
unironically the game is much better if you've played Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade

So with the Switch 2 version, would you think Monolith would want to revisit this series with an X2, to explore the new planet they all ended up on? The Ghost aren't going away, as far as I'm concerned, the ending's not 100% a definitive series end, so I'd really like to see how they handle it with some more time and effort on new hardware.

>>734126251
Elma is Elma, "that" has been taken into account.

In handheld it looks like its using fsr 1.0 on performance mode, so its costantly shit like fences just stop existing in certain angles and if you zoom out a bit on shit that moves, its constantly warping, so it looks like a real times first gen AI upscaler. Absolute garbage(not that bothersome if you are legit playing and battling shit tho). Docked version is very much fine.

Anyway, it feels like its shitty upscaling from 360p go 1080p. Its really rough and a weird choice

Does she have white fur throughout her body? Do we know what naked wrothians look like? She's basically a furrier Nia. Now I wonder how Nia and Mio would look as wrothians.

What have you been doing? I have a bit more than half your time in and completed chapter 9 and I already feel like I've took my sweet time doing some wildly unnecessary grinds.

getting really high and walking everywhere on foot to ogle the world or butts in bunnysuits
holding back in fights just to hear the music longer
never fast traveling
killing things 40 levels higher than me
this is why I'm not buying the upgrade patch that makes everything look like shit

Does this edition has the multigun?

can someone give me a hint about where electric reflect augments are
it's the only one I'm missing
i just want a HINT

This was basically my interpretation. Mira is some sort of purgatory world where nothing really matters. So the XDE ending feels more like a lateral movement than anything.

Tbh, the ending was pretty much the only of getting out of that cliffhanger.

yes. And it's still shit

No it wasn't. Nothing about it required destroying the entire universe of the original earth.
Elma is also retconned to be from another universe even though original XCX said she was from another planet, not another universe.

I got spoiled by related videos hyping Long Sword as being so good that other melee weapons don’t matter, so now I don’t want to use it. And I heard shield is unusable. So what do?

>>734143905
long sword is broken but photon saber is a close second for strong melee. Photon saber is also the best reflect weapon if you don't want to deal with ghostwalker shit.

It is a drop from a specific superboss. If that isn't enough you can find it in the vitriol cesspool

>>734143468
you have to fight lugalbanda tyrant for both ground and skell version. And that shit has the faggiest status effect.
