The Official 'Xenoblade Chronicles X' Thread: Spoilers will not be tolerated!

[ShinyRegice]

My mother said she wanted to give me a video game for Christmas, so I advised her to get this game as it's currently the one that's catching my attention the most. I love the original game, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this as well, and the fact it is in HD is awesome, too. Not that I'm obsessed with graphics, but I feel like outdated graphics is rather regrettable in a game about beautiful and unique environments. (Then again, blame the hardware rather than the game itself.)

Just a question though (not story related): are the accuracy penalties against stronger enemies in X as harsh as in the original Xenoblade? I don't really like how the accuracy penalties alone make so many fights against red-tagged enemies prohibitive in that game, because you know, I would like to fight enemies 11-12 levels higher than me without having to use maxed out accuracy equipment and still miss most of my attacks :/

I've had the Special Edition pre-ordered for a couple of weeks.

Now it's just a race against time to beat the first game before it comes out.

The most feared moment for every RPG player.

I don't think they're as harsh as before. Thing is, if you want to fight ennemies that are over 10 levels higher than you you probably won't even have the time to see if you can land attacks haha. Lvl 34 ennemies kill me in one hit and I'm lvl14. Sometimes even underleveled regular ennemies beat me.

I FOUND A SITE IN WHICH I CAN GET THE LIMITED EDITION! SANTA EYECON PLZ I'VE BEEN A GOOD GIRL

The NoE YouTube channel just uploaded a launch trailer, which apparently has massive spoilers. I'm not going to post it here because I don't want anybody getting spoiled. I'm asking others to not post it as well. Now would be a good time to avoid the Internet for a while.

Thanks so much for the warning!

Well... Depending on where you live, it's releasing tomorrow. In my case, it'll be exactly 24 hours away in about 4 minutes. Lol.

HYPE!

 

[Tino]

I got a email confirmation from Best Buy this morning while I was sleeping. My copy of the game is on its way.

I'm looking forward to it

 

[GreenKirby]

So are we gonna form a squadron?

 

[Deleted member]

Just got the game today but apparently it takes up a lot of space?
I'm kinda worried about that since I have Smash DLC and a couple of games downloaded via eShop. D:

You could get a USB storage for it. Better that than deleting some things because Nintendo were stupid enough to put only 32GB into the Wii U.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

myeeeeheheheeeee I don't have enough time or money to get this masterpiece
On the plus side it meant I could get an eshop offer yesterday

 

[Tino]

I'm expecting to get the game in the mail today but I probably won't start on it until tomorrow.

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

I just finished chapter 5.
This is literally my new favorite game ever, only beating the original for me. Everything is done so perfectly and I haven't found a single flaw. Shame it prolly won't win any GOTY rewards, but it gets GOAT in my heart.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

IMPORTANT!

For those wanting to avoid spoilers, do NOT go to GameXplain's channel right now. They uploaded a video of the final battle, which as you might expect contains MASSIVE SPOILERS.

Spreading the word so everyone can be aware!

To be fair, the thumbs don't contain spoilers, but the video may be on auto play when you visit the channel on a PC. I can't check since I'm on mobile and I advise you not to unless you want to be spoiled or know what happens already.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Beat the prologue, got my ass handed to me by those Lenyx things a few times though

 

[Tino]

I just now started on Chapter 2 today and I only died once as of now. I'm really loving the game so far.

 

[Bebe Mignon]

I got the game one day early! Just started Chapter 2 and I'm really liking Elma (duh) and Lin!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Chapter 3 gives you an item that's sooooooooooooo helpful for people like me

 

[Tino]

I already made it to Chapter 3 but I haven't gone far into the main story because I was doing a side mission. I'm just taking my time progressing through the game by killing indigents and leveling up my characters and their Arts and such.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm about to begin the Chapter 6, and oh boy I'm glad I didn't get spoiled about Chapter 5's events.

My only complaints so far is the biiiiiiiig lack of tutorials, and the sudden difficulty peaks, like when you have to beat ennemies 10 levels lower than you before fighting an enemy 6 levels higher than you.
And the fetch quests, like with the first Xenoblade, which could have been a bit less boring if the bestiary was a little more detailed, like indicating which zone of such area is such enemy located.

On the bright side, I enjoyed every single music track made by Sawano, especially the one playing during the battles against the tyrants, with Primordia's and Oblivia's themes as well.


Here's finally my avatar, I tried to make it to look how I really look like as much as possible.

 

[Schnee117]

Here's something that NOA shared on their twitter in regards to some armour being Samurai inspired.

Spoiler

The #XenobladeChroniclesX designers were inspired by samurai when creating the game’s armor. Can you see it? pic.twitter.com/esD2nQTsZk

I need that armour. It looks badass.

 

[SuperSmashSean]

On chapter 3 and I LOVE the game, it might actually replace Mega Man X as my favorite game.

 

[TiralKami]

Ever since this game was announced that it would have an english release I've been excited. But as of late I've been somewhat hesitant to get it...
My Wii U library is currently small (only consisting of smash atm ; _ and I would love to add it to the collection, but i'm not sure if the game is worth it or even my type of game.
I was one of those people who bought the O.G (esc) Xenoblade Chronicles, hence my love for Shulk. But how does this game compare/size up? Since I thought the first chronicles game was amazing. Any points whatsoever about how it compares to the first game and or how it compares to other games would be wonderful.
Id love to get some more opinions before I decide to make my purchase
Thanks!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Buy it yesterday.

If you already liked Xenoblade Chronicles, then it is your type of game and you should get it.

Moved this (and the responses) to this official thread since it doesn't really require a separate thread.

Yeah sorry about that, wasn't sure if it should go here. (obligatory "i'm new excuse also" =P)

 

[Neo Zero]

Finally got my XCX LE today and made my character

Made as close to possible to Pascal as possible (only real issue being the white hair on top of her hair, is more on the grey side since there wasn't a good white choice) and best part is, the Joker voice is literally her voice (both voice actress and portrayal is the same). Can't wait to take best girl across Mira.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

GUYS FOR THE LOVE OF BIONIS DO NOT DO 'THE REPAIR JOB' I'VE DONE MORE THAN 10 HOURS AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEATEN IT

 

[Tino]

I made my avatar to be a close resemblance to what I look like as best as I can, although I probably should've made his skin a little bit darker.

 

[Deleted member]

I just started playing this game and I'm enjoying it so far.

 

[GreenKirby]

*flips table*

**** you, Chapter 5! Just **** you!

 

[Deleted member]

Before you begin the Chapter 8, I HIGHLY recommend you to pass your Skell license first if you don't want to make your nerves to suffer more and to avoid to throw your controller out of your window.

 

[Tino]

I have no idea what I'm suppose to do in Chapter 4. I'm just running around like an idiot not doing ****.

Hold R. Press X. Follow the shiny. You'll find your objective. You're supposed to be very stealthy as you'll encpunter almost nothing but ridiculously high levels monsters. I HIGHLY recommend using ShadowRunner

 

[DragonBlade64]

Despite the fact that I've had the game for a week now, I just started playing it today after I finally beat the original and since I'm still a bit confused by it, I must ask: How exactly do the data probes work? (or anything new in this game for that matter)

 

[Tino]

Okay, so I finally started Chapter 4 today so that's pretty good. I would like to correct that I didn't actually started on it as I was still doing the three missions required for me to continue with the story.

And I must say that "the shiny", as Teh Epic Anna described, really is useful for reaching your destination point.
