xenoblade 2 is one of those games that you have to get past the flaws to enjoy

if you can do that then it's an incredible game but if you can't then it's best to not waste your sixty bucks
Yeah, I don't hate the game by any means, I just don't know if it would be for me. The game probably is fun, and I've certainly played games with cringy designs before (I put like, 300 hours into FE Fates), but for whatever reason XB2 just doesn't interest me.

Best 60 bucks I never spent tbh. I was almost tempted to buy it but kept thinking "Why is combat so slow?" "why are the designs so bad" "Why?"

It’s weird to me that Rex never thinks much about the fact that he literally died, and went to the after life before being revived. But ehh, I guess that’s anime tropes for you.

Y’know... I’m thinking of making my next art post all Xenoblade 2 related once I reach the 9000 likes mark.

And yes, before you ask, I’m probably gonna reference DBZ somewhere in the post too.

I'm just curious as to why it seems that only the designs alone seem to be the main topic whenever XC2 gets brought up. Not for the reasons, that much I know, but it seems as if that's the ONLY thing that's ever been talked about.

Like the game has been out for a year and three months, and I've never really seen anyone on here talk about the music, gameplay, structure or what have you, cause honestly, XC2 definitely does somethings better than the OG Xenoblade.

But hey, what do I know, I'm just your friendly neighborhood totally legal and actual scientist.

As soon as I finish the main story I’ll be more open to talking about the other stuff more. I feel like before I say anything too concrete I should at least give it that much.


But I mean it’s probably obvious how I feel about it

The Japanese form names also reference the age Poppi is supposed to have with her basic JS(alpha) being elementary school, JK (QT) being high school and QTπ being a college student. Those are abbreviations that are pretty much used there exclusively so a lot of the localization decided to go for jokes.
I don't like this

In my opinion, harems are not my thing. I prefer more slow, and grounded stories where the relationship grows over the course of the story. Are there anyone else who feels that way?
I’m more the same way and I plan to focus on those kind of relationships in my own stories, but I’m not gonna judge anyone who likes that kind of thing.

Eh, I have a idea, but since I'm too tired to explain why in details, I just go that peoples have nothing better to do with their times than repeat the same subject over and over again!:4pacman:

I think it's just bad writing.

Oh also I got through the first part of chapter 10
holy ****

I mean obviously I wouldn’t have the same holy **** factor as someone who actually played the other game instead of just reading but my boy Rex is on a first name basis with god and also just needs to accept Nia into his harem tbh
Let's begin the experiment!
i ****ing screamed when i heard "we're locked out by professor klaus" my mind broke
....

Ok, everyone is going to judge me on this but:

I love Tiger! Tiger!

I really do, I'm not kidding, I played thousand of time and I really like it.

This, I gotta respectfully disagree. The speed of the combat is totally acceptable for what layout and strategies you have to do for any enemy or boss, what have you.

Hell, Final Fantasy IX is slower than Xenoblade 2, yet FF9 is also the best Final Fantasy game and is one of the greatest RPGs ever made, so I don't think there could really be a "slow combat system" in an RPG, IMO.

He just died like, what, 5 minutes?

Is there really much to say about 5 minutes in the afterlife?

What if Game Freak just fails?

Yeah I’m gonna have to continue my Xenoblade 2 game.

I have no idea how far I am, but judging from these posts, my game is probably at the tail end of either chapter 1 or 2.

I feel like the events and revelations that followed kinda outweighed the gravity of that situation

Speaking of Nintendo RPGs, I would love to see Nintendo branch out of just Mario for RPGs.

Basically what I'm saying is where is the Kirby RPG, dang it. You have perfectly good lore just sitting there, do something with it!

It's because the character designs are the only things people can complain about without actually having played the game to form their own opinions. :smirk:

That's partly why I'm willing to try it out. The thing is that despite the horrible designs, it has a genuine following. People were upset when Rex was a mii costume for example. I wanna know why, so I'll try it out when the month is about to close off. I assume it's a good game underneath the questionable surface.

No, it's just that contrary to all of you, I got gud at Tiger! Tiger! Like I have done every stages with all ether & treasure got without getting once, and guess what? I got lots of good **** for it.

Now I'm definitly going to get killed for saying that, and since I'm too tired to deal with this or the same argument I'm seeing over and over again about XB2 having bad design and all that "fun" stuff, I'm going to go until peoples stop talking about it and move on.

So

hell it's not even the afterlife

it's labeled as "dreamworld elysium" in the game, meaning that pyra just showed up in his dying dream as aegises like to do

I've had a feeling ever since plant's release that they might just release Joker without any gameplay reveal at all.

If you want my thoughts on the whole design thing, here ya go.

I could go either way and honestly don't care. And guess what? That goes with EVERY RPG I play. Like for FFVII, Tifa's got knockers for days, but that doesn't mean that she isn't a genuinely great character.

What I care about is how you take these characters with the writing, characterization and more, since I'm going to be around these people for quite a while. People here will go on about booty shorts, but will forget the whole thing about Pyra and Mythra having actual suicidal tendencies for what happened back long ago.
