Worst Xenoblade game.
Not only do you have to grind, you heavily have to backtrack based off rng gacha bullshit.

>>737143609
Youre scaring me anon

I haven't played a JRPG that requires grinding in almost 30 years.

it's not grindy it's the opposite there's so much extra xp that they came up with this system where it's all stored as bonus xp that you can use at your will at the inn. you can choose to be wildly overleveled if you want and just use all of your bonus xp as soon as you get it.

This

and this

>>737142838
Nigga, you can't even use your final abilities and skills untill your 75% into the game. This is literally not a lie and is in every review OP. Have you done no research OP. Ignore this game. Literally any other xeno game is better.

>>737144695
Try Octopath Traveler 1, didnt even finish that one
>>737146056
I played 1 remaster before and liked it but this one has big boobs which 3 and X don't have so I don't care about those

>>737143609
This is like saying pokemon games need grinding and require rigging random encounters to beat, it's just blatantly not true.
It is the worse Blade game so at least you got that right.

dont believe this dude >>737143609
just playing through the game normally you dont need to grind at all, but the game does expect you to interact with all its systems so yeah actually look at all the weird types of items you can buy and equipment. also the game literally hands you exp you can use when you feel like to level up
>>737146056
I dont see how that's inherently a flaw

>>737147660
>Try Octopath Traveler 1,
even with that the only time you might need to grind is the super secret boss. grinding just isnt really a thing anymore

>>737148442
Bullshit it's hard as fuck

>>737148528
like the whole game?

>>737142838
Outside of X Xenoblade games are not really grindy as long as you don't just follow the fucking story like a noob, explore, fight the unique monsters and make intelligent use of the bonus exp system and you'll never have to grind.

>>737147660
If you liked 1's plot 3 is closer to that, 2 is the weird turboanime offshoot that feels like a 60 hour beach episode.

>>737149695
That sounds Kino, I will never buy 3 cause they have small boobs

>>737149547
>you don't have to grind as long as you grind via side quests
Doesnt sound good

What? I never once had to grind in Xeno 2
I even had to refuse the bonus xp stuff on my second run because it was too easy
The one thing I will say about Xenoblade 2 is that you have to spend far too much time managing things in menus
Its a shame because of how amazing the world is

>>737144695
XBC1 was kinda grindy in acquiring some of the items for sidequests or colony 6.
There's also a weird spot where even if you've followed the story up to PNR and done all the sidequests you're underleveled for the post-game stuff.

XB2 is grinding basically
Basically you'll grind for
>Core Crystals
>Money
>Aux thingy
>Items
>Affinity Points
It's weird because when all the systems are played and pushed, the game is actually pretty intese, strategic and fun. But getting is by far one of the weirdest trips. That said, technically speaking, most of the grind is only if you want to autist max stuff like getting all blades, doing all their quests, and doing the superbosses. Otherwise, the game is fine-ish if you stick to the main story.
But this is a game you play mostly while listening to something or tuning out.
Still think the game is neat and has a lot of charm, care and things to love. But i won't deny i'm turbo tsundere for it.

>>737147660
OT1 was so easy I had to implement level caps with mods, and it was STILL too fucking easy.

>>737149804
>playing the game is grinding now
Why am I not surprised that this is a post on /v/eddit?

>>737151924
>But this is a game you play mostly while listening to something or tuning out.
i cannot agree with that at all

>>737143609
It was so easy to overlevel in this game that enemies outright stopped attacking me after chapter 7, I climbed the world tree utterly unapposed

There's 0 grinding but you need to understand the combat system which requires a PHD. Most people just overlevel to deal with it since it's too complicated

Is Xenoblade 3 good? I finished XB1 on the Wii and XB2 back when the switch launched, im on an itch to replay the games but then i dont see anyone talking about XB3.

>>737142838
just play it on easy?

>>737157116
It's fine. It has its ups and downs like the other games.
