Xenoblade Chronicles Thread

Now that the dust is settling, what's next for Monolithsoft and the Xeno-franchise?

Do you want another Xenoblade or a new Xeno(Word)? Do you want one that keeps aspects of the previous games like ether or the races, or something wholly new? Do you want any specific changes in gameplay? What do you NOT want?

I just want the DLC to give me more cute Shulk/Fiora shit. 2's DLC did fuck all with them in that regard.

I don't think the next game will be Xenoblade 4, but also don't expect it to be something like Xenoblade X2.
Not sure exactly where they'll go since Takahashi said the next game would still be a Xenoblade.

REMINDER
Harem ending is just a meme based on an interpretation of Rex's body language rather than explicit confirmation.
All three kids have the hair color of their mother and Rex is stooped over all three seated girls because Takahashi wanted it to be vague and open to interpretation who Rex got with.
It's a whole different story if all three babes had the same hair color as Rex, like Noah's CONFIRMED son shared the same hair color as his dad.
Nia not once confirms she married Rex or that Rex is Mio's father.
Takahashi is a fucking pussy that wanted to please everyone and it backfired.

Blades game without gacha system

Was that in the Vol. 6 interview or whatever on Nintendo's site?

Why does such a cool robot have to be tied to this stupid fucking loli?

Melia is dual wielding Monado and Lucky 7. Nia has aegis sword which can change modes.

I want new game about mechas in the space.

DLC first and foremost should fix the blue balls ending in XC3. Not pandering to dead characters who already got more than enough screentime in their game.

Attached: Screenshot_20220903-041433.jpg (745x1079, 197.88K)

I'm ready for a new IP or at least a drastic shakeup of the formula. I still enjoyed XC3 a lot but the formula is getting a bit stale for me.

There's your 6 man team for the DLC there, a triple date

I felt kinda bad that there wasn't a sidequest when you bring Ethel back to her colony. If you take her to him you just get some joke dialog.

I want a hard sci-fi Xenoblade. Mechs, modern/future aesthetic, space stations etc.
Or just make X2.

Funny things are Isurd literally let's that happened

>dead characters
user. How long do you think it's been between the endings of 1/2 and the intro cutscene of 3?

Yeah, at the very end.
nintendo.com/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-6-xenoblade-chronicles-3-part-3/
I was misremembering in that it wasn't Takahashi who said it.

>Rex and Pyra
It's going to be Rex and Nia for easy family joking.

>Literally all these graphics supports are in XCX
>>>Cutscenes
KEK, mind broken.

Why does such a hot loli have to be tied to that stupid huge robot?

I don't think they'll do a new IP, but maybe something beyond "blade". Xenogun, rail shooter or some shit lmao

Doubt that Fiora will be playable. She needed mecha body to be on par with the rest of the party.
She can be cooker of the group though. Like Manana.

I liked Xeno 1 but didn't like Xeno 2 enough to beat it. Would I enjoy or dislike Xeno 3?

>More cutscenes

So mad we didn't get the sick mech when using the class.

Xeno 3 has a lot more in common with 2 than 3

Maybe next is a spin off.
Xenoblade kart when?

Just port X, I don't need it to look like the other three, just want it to not be stuck on the Wii-U. After that they can work on X-2

Why did you dislike 2? 3 is more like 1 in terms of how it presents itself. The combat is more like 2.

Fiora is able to fight before becoming a robot and she can fight in Xenoblade 2

You won't like it, if you didn't like 2 you have atrocious shit taste.

Attached: Screenshot_20220903-041645.jpg (843x1079, 213.9K)

I would absolutely be down for that.
She fought just fine until she got skewered. And that was more a consequence of being stuck in the mobile artillery. She's just as much a fighter as the others, machine parts or no.

>STILL cutscenes

Attached: Screenshot_20220903-041703.jpg (812x1079, 209.17K)

It definitely feels more like 1

Maybe dislike, Xeno 3 has a direction close to 2, even though it brings bits here and there from both

I got to chapter 4 and was just bored with the cast and how bad the RNG was for the blades. But I've had other people say I stopped right as it gets good. I still own the game.

X2 or a new IP

3 is so unappealing I don't want to play it at all.

I liked 3 for the first 30 hours then it became an absolute slog

Attached: Screenshot_20220903-041746.jpg (748x821, 183.28K)

Chapter 4 is the worst chapter. The game is non stop kino from 7 to the end.

3 doesn't have gacha shit and the main cast is the best in the series

Lemme guess, too silly and anime for you? Get a little bored with the random detours during the story?

Yeah, you'll like 3. Serious to a fault, anime only in looks, and laser focused start to finish. Side questing is mandatory, otherwise you'll be very unsatisfied by the story mode alone.

No, she isn't on the same level as Shulk, Dunban or even Melia. Also she became mom and didn't have a lot of time to improve her skills.

>caring about rare blade RNG
You can beat the game by using common core blades and you will get plenty of cores and chances to get all the blades you want later on.

There's no proof of that yet

Oh no no no bros we got cocky

4 is the worst chapter in the series. It does get a lot better and I'd recommend finishing it before playing 3, but you can move on if you can't stand the game, 3 is mostly standalone.

>Serious to a fault, anime only in looks
This is a straight up lie.

Xenogun. In a completely sword and sorcery fantasy world, the MC finds a crashed spaceship. Inside is a dead alien and an alien gun. MC takes the alien gun and uses it to obliterate all the sword wielding losers and nerd mages.

>Thinks people don't know that script events is still tied to cutscenes.

It's pretty obvious though.

I didn't mind the anime bits. I did get annoyed at how most fights felt like HP sponges even if I was using combat properly and doing combos. I'm still willing to give it a second try since I also didn't beat Xeno 1 but am currently in the middle of trying to do so. I'm at the part after the snow mountain where you fight that one dude who defected to the mechon for anyone wondering. I figure I might enjoy 2 more on my second attempt. But I wanted to know if 3 was more like 1 or 2.
