And they also confirmed online play!(Even though it's a no brainer)
So it's not just me! But yes, it's starting to grate. Shulk has SO much more to say than "I'm really feeling it". I've been trying to pinpoint why I don't like people who haven't played Xenoblade throwing the phrase around so much, and I think this is why. They'll have the wrong impression of him.
Shulk mirror matches are fun. You know it gets serious when you both turn on Buster, or both Smash. ALL OR NOTHING
Yeah, one of my friends says in an imitation to Shulk, "I'm really feeling it!" whenever I use Shulk, or when I pull off a vision he copies the way Shulk says both lines when performing a counter. It was cool at first, but now it's been bugging me. The worst part is that he played the game himself, and stopped right before Satorl Marsh.
It bothers me a lot too, I guess just cause people think Xenoblade is a FEELING IT party but it's not even close. I convinced my friend to get Xenoblade though whenever he can get money. I showed him some of the characters and he says his favorite is
I just got to this part earlier today and I didn't exactly like Zinnia..UNTIL NOW. "I'm really resurrecting it!" - Zinnia, 2014Edit: I have to wonder if someone played this far through the game just to make this joke.
B-but how can you stop at Satorl Marsh of all places? HOW CAN YOU STOP PLAYING THAT GAME AT ALL? Satorl Marsh made me practically die when I first got there. It's impossible to resist GLOWING TREES
He stopped right at the boss fight in the Ether Mine before you get Dunban. Since he didn't do many quests, he wasn't a high enough level to defeat it. That, and he didn't know about skip travel so he thought he had to walk everywhere to do anything.It bothers me a lot too, I guess just cause people think Xenoblade is a FEELING IT party but it's not even close.

FIORA. (non-spoiler Homs of course)

Xenoblade Chronicles didn't really have a basic storyline, though! It follows some of the typical JRPG cliches, but it still had a lot of twists and turns and character development to separate its plot from the rest.
I always get frightened whenever I am in a Shulk ditto fight. (well, when I am dealing with a Shulk who uses the Monado Arts; I easily beat a Shulk who didn't use them and I did) Those fights are absolutely tense and it's more of a fight of, "Who can use the Monado Arts better?"
Try to get Xenoblade on the Wii. Trust me; you won't regret it.
Knowing how the Internet is, they probably did.Edit: I have to wonder if someone played this far through the game just to make this joke.
I can't tell if this is either a coincidence or if it was an intentional reference to Shulk (because you know how much Nintendo loves memes).
Happy birthday!
I was having some skilled Shulk dittos online yesterday and we typically went to the same Monado arts until somebody racked up enough damage, in which case it was either Shield or Smash. I like to go to Shield when both are at high damage since Shield does not lower knockback much, but he would go to Smash to try to counteract. I think in Shield vs Smash, Shield wins, and if both are high damage it would definitely win.
An internet buddy of mine is writing that, she's planning to update it as info comes in through the XCX Twitter and other news. Good to have it all in one place.
Naturally everyone here will say this - but get it. It's worth the price tag and Shulk's inclusion in Smash is well-justified.
Happy birthday man! Hope you have (had) a great day! I'm 22 in about a week, myself.
Happy birthday!! Enjoy your last two years before reaching the century's quarter~
I just realized, I completely forgot to tell you happy birthday, sorry about that. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and I hope you've had a great day so far.
I hope Tatsu is just as magnificent as THE LEGENDARY HEROPON, however it'll be quite hard to beat that title.You're gonna be disappointed. We already have new Heropon Tatsu!
Heropon Tatsu very cool!You're gonna be disappointed. We already have new Heropon Tatsu!
Given how expansive the class system is said to be, I can easily see one class be dedicated to emulate Riki's combat style. I'm hoping he'll be a surprisingly effective fighter just like Riki was.
I think the AI might be programmed to mostly use arts that they have a favorable stat in, or if the party's in danger.
Tatsu is a confirmed party member, if I heard correctly. Along with Monado-Hairpin-Girl.

So maybe I should try ether up gems, thanks!
Lol AI control is super hilarious in the game. Like, Reyn, Dunban and Sharla are pretty good as AI because their jobs are pretty straightforward and not varied at all (which is great IMO), but Shulk and Melia are hilariously bad. I remember I tried having Melia as P-leader in Sword Valley and just had Shulk tag along because otherwise Dunban wouldn't do **** to the Mechons, and he forgot to use Enchant like 70% of the time. I mean what the effing ****, Shulk.
/cringe
. Also, tabletop games anyone?
Mother/Earthbound on my end. And Kingdom Hearts, plus a bit of the Tales series. Aside from those, most of the RPG's i've played and mostly Nintendo ones and are well known, so i don't feel the need to mention them.First off, sorry for the double post.
I just have a question. I was thinking of opening a thread about other RPGs you Shulk mains have enjoyed, but I dunno if I should open it up here in Shulk's board or in another section. I mostly wanted to open it up here because Shulk community and RPGs
Yeah. I have to disagree about Sharla... I didn't realize how bad her AI was until I started playing as her. She's bad at healing and curing when it's needed. She NEVER cures you when you're debuffed and she's so slow with her healing. She also always lets her talent gauge fill up all the way before using it even though that's much slower.Lol AI control is super hilarious in the game.

So then I switched to Shulk as PL and Melia being controlled by AI and she either spammed her AoE spells so much that no one could take aggro away from her or just stood there doing NOTHING. I suppose she was trying to keep the summoning buffs up, but seriously she'd just be there. Watching. Like Jeff Goldblum except less hot.
It was confusing at best.
I don't see any reason why not to open a thread with the topic. I think it would help get rid of that that 'Xenoblade is animu,' bs.First off, sorry for the double post.

I haven't really had much problem with the AI but I've never taken on anything harder than the last boss so I don't know if that's an issue that only becomes apparent when you need a strict strategy. I think part of "____ isn't using an Art, wtf" is because they used it previously and it's on cooldown. I think that's part of the issue - the AI doesn't identify your strategy in any way so it doesn't save some Arts for the opportune moment. A common complaint I hear early-on is that Reyn never topples anything - that's only because he's just used Wild Down and can't use it again. Just take a stab at the cooldown length and Break it then.
Yeah, Reyn's usually pretty good at toppling when it's possible. When it comes to Riki not using his ether arts or Sharla not using her healing/curing arts I've grown really comfortable with what the cooldowns on those moves are. For Riki's case, he barely uses the ether arts at all. He uses Freezinate every once in a while, but the cooldown on that move is much faster than the frequency he uses it. Burninate and Lurgy are very rarely used though. He will go several minutes without using them. I tried removing some of his other arts he decided to use in order to see if that would force him to use the two moves, but he instead auto attacks. In Sharla's case, it will even happen on the start of the battle. The enemy burns all three of us party members... what does Sharla do? Usually nothing. Sometimes she will use cure bullet on one person and just let the others slowly die. If she does cure round, it's usually a decent time after everyone has been hurt. With healing arts, I'll realize during the match that she's not healing when she should be, so I'll control Sharla myself and change the character I was using to AI. Suddenly, there's no risk of dying. My healing outmatches the enemy's damage dealing.
The plot of Xenoblade is really streamlined compared to Xenosaga and Xenogear. A lot of "Xeno series fans" have actually complained about how simple the story is , so yeah, if you want to see complex JRPG plots check out those other Xeno games.
So do you know a lot about the Xeno series? I was hoping you could help me with something. I've got two games - Xenosaga 1 and Xenosaga 2. I've just barely started Xenosaga 1. Apparently there's also a Xenosaga 3 out there... Are the storylines connected between the three games? I read online that the people disliked Xenosaga 3. Is Xenosaga 3 like an ending for these first two games or would I be fine stopping at Xenosaga 2 and not going to Xenosaga 3?
