Here's a fun project, take the Smash Ultimate Character roster and re-do the stage list. Same number of stages as the current game, but each playable franchise needs to be thoroughly represented and every non-echo fighter needs to have a unique home stage. You can bring in stages from past Smashes, but I encourage you to get creative and think of new ones.

To simplify this, I'll just give everyone a home stage. New/returning stages in bold.

But is it better than Sawano composing XCX.

Because that's the bar I'm setting. I liked that game a lot. Its soundtrack was the ****ing bomb.

Ha, I wasn't a fan of the battle music, and a lot of the emotional tracks had that typical "buildup, short silence, Engrish yelling" which I got tired of in Kill la Kill.

I wonder if she has to shave her legs. If she does is the hair red or blonde?

Yeah. Okay. Do it.

Tots, listen to me:

I would love to pick XC2 a lot... But first I must beat XC1 to be prepared gameplay-wise.

Problem is... I suck at that game. But I swear to Stan Lee that the moment I stop sucking at it and get myself to complete it, I will run to the closest store and pick it at first glance.

I promise to do so.

The problem is acquiring the original Xenoblade to begin with. Do you have a Wii U? Lucky you, cause it's on the eShop there as a Wii Virtual Console game. Though if you wanna get it through other means, either you have to pay an exorbitantly insane amount of money for a original Wii copy or buy a New 3DS and get the New 3DS port.

However, I will tell you whichever route you'll take, it'll be worth it. Though, remember that XC1 and XC2's combat, while the core is the same, mechanics are vastly different. I'll be honest, once you find the right arts line-up and core crystals with each character in XC1, you'll have a smooth time and some fights might even be too easy, depending on where you're at. I highly recommend Shulk/Reyn/Riki, but any form of team you want can work just as well. Fiora is exceptional and even Sharla is a pretty good healer, all things considered.

 

[Idon]

No, blades are as pure as the day they are born till they die where they are reset.

Which brings up a **** ton of ethical issues that I can't even begin to wrap my head around.

 

[Deleted member]

When it comes to Dragon Quest, now that we talk JRPGs, I would completely suggest DQ8, which is the game from the franchise I have the closest to my heart.

Another titles worth to check are the Builders games, the SNES remake of DQ3 or Monsters' Jokers.

Geez Gwen. Nice job rounding out the counter arguments. Between you, @ryumo, and myself I think we covered everything lol. Thank gosh I don't receive criticism like this on my pieces.

To play good cop for once, I hope you don't take any of this personally @ShinyLegendary. Our critiques are more towards your essay rather than yourself. You hyped up this essay that was already flawed from the start, changed very little based off of public feedback of your rough draft, and presented a final product on par with Fallout 76 or No Man's Sky that you evidently thought was better than it actually was. Take this as a lesson that you need to put more work into researching and structuring your arguments, unless you want to receive mass criticism like you did with this piece.

For reference, my own speculation pieces take around 1-2 days to type up. This is 1-2 days of research facts and putting them together in a form where they build off of each other to form a solid conclusion. For longer pieces this obviously takes longer; I want to say my Ultimate Square Enix Character Argument took about 3-4 days, with 1 day being devoted solely to Erdrick. Furthermore, I don't hype them up as amazing pieces meant to change opinions; you had a rather smug attitude with which you posted your essay, and that's not appreciated by anyone.

Speculation pieces are meant to come from a primarily objective place, which means putting aside how you feel and arguing facts. Maybe that's why only a few people can really do it here. Regardless, if you want to keep making speculation pieces work on your argumentation skills and putting aside your own bias. Additionally, get someone else to help you write it. @ShotoStar's got a ways to go before he can write good speculation pieces himself, and I'd rather he focus on working on his own skills before helping other people hone their's.

Hey, I am not mad one bit. I appreciate the good feedback from all three of you ( Hinata, Gwen and you ), if anything. I know my essay is flawed, but that is how we develop. We learn from other's people mistakes and move on.

Also I am not an expert on leaks at all, you are right about me needing to do more research on stuff like marketing.

I agree with the sentiment though.

But is it better than Sawano composing XCX.

Because that's the bar I'm setting. I liked that game a lot. Its soundtrack was the ****ing bomb.

Oh boy, get ready for a pretty molten take. Having played the original Xenoblade, ACE+ did such a masterfully crafted job at making Xenoblade Chronicles' soundtrack. I think if you have a good amount of talented musicians working on the soundtrack, you're bound for greatness.

Xenoblade Chronicles X, however? Pretty terrible soundtrack with only very, very few tracks I can get behind. I don't like how they only had Hiroyuki Sawano as the only and main music composer, and honestly, once you've heard his style and music, you've heard them all. I can see why, to fit the whole setting, but as a "Xenoblade Soundtrack"? Nah, not even close. I can respect the efforts and hey, if people like it, all good. I'm just someone who doesn't wanna hear something that sounds like Kill la Kill's Don't Lose Your Way multiple times. Gotta diversify a bit.

I can guarantee you Xenoblade Chronicles 2's soundtrack, however, is amazing. It has Chrono Trigger's Yasunori Mitsuda and ACE+ at the helm, with others, and it really does make a lot of scenes, even doing a better job at some points than the original Xenoblade.

Ha, I wasn't a fan of the battle music, and a lot of the emotional tracks had that typical "buildup, short silence, Engrish yelling" which I got tired of in Kill la Kill.

That exact recipe is what I love though. It's the best kind of trash.

Sawano is fantastic at making legitimate emotional scores, which XCX also has, but there's a strange sort of beauty to the Engrish rock tracks he makes as well. Kill la Kill won me over entirely because of its soundtrack. I gave up on the show four episodes in when I broke up with the girlfriend who made me watch it, but came back a year later after listening to the soundtrack on repeat. Now it's one of my favorite animated shows I've ever watched.

What the [Profane word] did you just [profane adverb] say about me, you little [Profane term for women]? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the [Profane adverb] out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my [Profane adjective] words. You think you can get away with saying that [Profane word for animal excrement] to me over the Internet? Think again, [Derogatory term]. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, [Derogatory term]. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're [Profane adjective] dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable [Profane term for the Gluteus Maximus muscle group] off the face of the continent, you little [Profane word for animal excrement]. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your [profane adjective] tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will [verb using the profane word for animal excrement] fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're [Profane adjective] dead, kiddo.

People speculate about it getting announced this week or the next one.

I have the game on 3DS.

And yeah, I'll follow these tips.
Thanks Tots!

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/xenoblade-chronicles-3d-3ds

Here's a quick link for you, when you get the chance. Remember, though, it's only playable on New Nintendo 3DS systems, and will not work on the original models. The reason why it's New 3DS only is that they just simply couldn't get the game to run or scale the game on the 3DS' original hardware limitations.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Still waiting for the 1st Fighter's Pass Character for anohter couple of weeks has me like:

So uh weird dreams huh? Well I had ones where It was just me opening a jar of Pickles. Of course I remember having a few involving Erdrick being revealed.

There's a difference between innate purity and resetting the memory every death, especially when you factor in the technical slavery and/or romantic relationships.

 

[staindgrey]

You know, on all this talk about OSTs, you know what game didn't have a great OST?

Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

There's a ton of **** I liked about that game but the story, conversation system and constant shrill violins like a Halloween ambient CD being blared by that one annoying neighbor trying to make their place a haunted house are not some of those things. Playing through to get 100% and having to hear the same nails-on-a-chalkboard "scary" music all over again really hurts the post-game experience.

 

[Deleted member]

Seriously...

When are we getting a direct announced?

We're getting one this week.

And if not this week, then next week.

And then if not that week, then the week after that.

This is why I don't like speculating when directs happen.

 

[Pyra]

Nintendo should release a Xenoblade gacha game for mobile so I can scratch that itch

I’ve played the fire emblem one also don’t get me wrong
