Pretty nice, let's get a thread going
>>318447420
Squads are the "passive" multiplayer feature of Xenoblade X. At any moment as long as your Wii U is actively connected to the internet, you will be loosely connected with 31 other players also adventuring on Mira, making a 32 person squad that is actively connected to one another in a handful of ways. First thing of note, this does not mean you can see their actual avatars adventuring around the world a'la an actual MMORPG, but what it does mean is the following...
You can't see the actual players, but you can see NPC versions of their avatars adventuring around the world. When you see them, you can interact with them, and even invite them to your party. They will earn experience (for the actual player), and you gain a temporary, and possibly quite valuable (depending on their level) ally. I believe their membership in your party expires after a couple of hours so do as much as you can with them to get the most out of their help (assuming their character is equipped lvl/gear-wise to help you).
>>318447589
You can send messages out for your entire squad to see. You might do this for a few reasons, to give some advice about something you've found, or in general just send out a message because you're feeling social. Everyone in your squad has the ability to "+1" your messages, and messages that receive a lot of +1's will be broadcast to the entire playerbase.
You can hold a "Treasure Deal" that anyone in your squad can opt-in to participate in. This is sort of like trading but less direct. When you find an item you don't need but feel it would be a waste to just throw away, you can put the item up for a Treasure Deal to your squad. People will opt-in and basically it's a dice roll for the item between everyone who opted in.
You can also choose to see the achievement spam of everyone in your squad but this is a really spammy feature that many people actually turn off. Me personally I wouldn't recommend it but some people get a sense of "liveliness" seeing that other people are earning things in their midst, so to speak. Sometimes you can see people earn an achievement and be like "Oh, how do I get that one?", or "Wow they have an achievement for that?!". Achievements are novelty by definition so this function isn't really helpful for anything other than trying to promote that "community" feeling of the world being alive.
>>318447704
The last purpose of squads are Squad Tasks. Every 2 hours (cmiiw) you receive 5 objectives. If you've seen any footage of XBCX you'll often notice the UI for it in the bottom right. A selection of 5 monsters and/or gatherables and a counter under each one, showin the progress. Players within your squad must work together to clear these squad objectives by killing the according number of monsters or collecting materials that the counter dictates. Whenever you clear each of the 5 objectives, it will increase the number of Squad Missions you can run when you teleport back to NLA and check the mission counter. More on Squad Missions later.
Sometimes the objectives can be difficult to find, so even if you're being a lazy fart, if you happen upon the right objective mobs that people don't seem to be killing, send out a squad-wide message telling everyone where you found it! This happens a lot in the JP version and it's massively helpful in conducting a quick and easy objective clear.
Clearing Squad Tasks will net your entire squad goodies, so it's in your benefit to work with your squad to clear them.
I'd be more hyped if the English dub wasnt absolute fucking garbage. Seriously one of the worst I've heard in years. The entire cast is just a bunch of shitters. Not to mention all the script changes and ridiculous NoA shit like pic related with their retarded puns.
>hurrr this is good writing
Treehouse shouldn't be allowed to work on the sequels. Let them handle Tomodachi Life and Mario and shit. NoJ should just force them to outsource to an actually competent localization company so this crap doesnt happen again. Fucking embarrassing how bad this dub is.
>>318447812
Squad Missions
This is the main multiplayer-related component of Xenoblade Chronicles X. Once you pop any of the 5 squad tasks spoken about in the above text, it will unlock a number of missions at the blade mission board back at your BLADE HQ. These missions can be tackled in a party of up to 4 real players, which is formed through invites which can be sent out simply by scanning a list of your entire squad. You can observe all 31 of your squad mates' levels, class, gear, and make a decision whether you'd like to invite them or not. No matter where they are on planet mira, they can accept your invite, however they can also decline if they wish not to run a mission with you so try to invite as many friends as you can for maximum fun. If you are unable to fill your party, you may fill gaps in your party with any of your BLADE NPC characters such as Elma or Lin. It is possible to enter these missions by yourself, simply accompanied by 3 NPCs, and some of the easier missions are cleared easily in this way, but with higher level/more difficult missions you will want to bring as many actual human players as you can in your party for reasons I will explain later.
>>318448006
Clearing 1 out of 5 tasks will often unlock a low level mission or two at the mission table, this might discourage you to hear, but no fear! Monolith Soft was aware of this conundrum, so they've incorporated level scaling for every single multiplayer mission. That means if you're level 50, and you go in to a multiplayer mission that was designated as lvl 20 difficulty, you will be scaled down to something like lvl 25 or so. This means that while you will still reap the benefits of your earned arts, gear, and of course your practical experience, it isn't an utter and complete face-roll for you, which would make running these missions pointless. The rewards at the end of the mission will give you possibly rare loot, depending on the enemies you tackled within said mission, and squad vouchers which you can spend near the mission table on various special items like for your Collectapedia. I've also seen useful consumable items on that list.
That being said, as you clear the 2/5th task, the 3/5th task, and get closer and closer to clearing all 5 tasks, the amount of missions that begin to unlock at the mission table increases exponentially. Where popping the first task may net you 1-2 somewhat lower level/easy difficulty missions. Clearing a 2nd objective will get you 2-3 more missions of higher difficulty/rarer loots.
Fucking pedophile Gamergate creeps need to stop bullying my super progressive game
>>318448105
Logically, you can presume that in order to be qualified for the biggest, baddest monsters and the rarest, strongest loot, you need to unlock the missions that come with clearing all 5 tasks. This is how you will increase and maximize your chances of getting a "Nemesis" mission which is taking down a fearsome boss which is undoubtedly going to drop you some sick loot. If you join multiplayer-minded squads, aim for clearing the squad tasks! Monsters in Xenoblade X can range all the way up to lvl 99+, so you will never trivialize the content, only make it more manageable (the maximum character level is much less than 99, I'll be unspecific to avoid possible spoilers for people).
Successfully completing Squad Missions will push progress on a Conquest meter bar of sorts. The higher you push this meter through the continuous completion of squad missions, the closer you get to initiating a "Nemesis" event (World Enemy in the JP version). There are various Nemesis at varying level ranges (and again, you are level scaled to them).
The manual will tell you that if you want the absolute best gear in the game for both your skells and your character/s...you want these missions as much as you can get them (and of course, to successfully complete them, which requires team work!).

When this game was first announced this was the game that would have got me to get a WiiU. Glad I dodged that colossal bullet, maybe I'll play in with an undub in a decade off an emulator.

The removal of the Boob Slider is disappointing, but not enough for me to get super mad about.
Who the fuck cares if your potato wears spats or panties?
Changing the name from Dolls to Skells is directly contradictory to NOA's marketing strategy saying 'the people who are going to buy already know about it'. Fucking dumb desu senpai, but it still matters little.

That's the same score Disgaea 5 had in the first 24 hours of reviews. I expect it drop a few points like like D5 did as well. Disappointing score but we all knew it wasn't that good after pic related.

>wanting to get spoiled
It's not a huge deal, considering how much FUCKING STORY there is, but it still sort of sucks to have the main plot spoiled that hard.
If this were any other game that'd be a serious punch in the nuts. The fact that the game's actual story is so spread out among the 100 affinity missions and the normal missions softens the blow, but it still stings.

Nintendo censorship precedes Capcom cenosrship.
It's happened in 2 Nintendo games versus 1 Capcom game.
People already raged at the Nintendo censorship for weeks and Nintendo just sends automated e-mail responses.
Nobody is willing to take a stand and form a group like Project Rainfall did to get the 3 Japanese Wii games over here for this particular fight.
Those are your reasons.
As for whether or not it's a deal breaker, it isn't much but it definitely hurts more if the Japanese release also gets censored for SFV as a result of SJayDubya backlash.

How are you finding it? I got about 90 hours in, haven't played it for like a week or so. I feel as though I'm at a point of no return as far as the story goes so I should really just complete it. Constant grinding at level 80 now through Satorl Marsh.
Maybe it's a testament to how much I loved this game I just don't want to finish with it.. Every time I load it up I only spend time trying to max out every single Art.
Looking at the quest list I still have ones left from an area that cannot be returned to (not gonna spoil shit for you).

Any chance region lock will ever be removed or someone will have a simple fix for it? I don't even really want this used because of the fucking voice acting, if they let you turn off sfx in options It would be okay but they don't.
I hope funimation burns to the ground I hate that retards love hearing the same 10 people that have no range and never sound the age of their character in very game/anime (how is anyone past the age of 14 watching anime STILL watching dubs?

It's all up to you. The digital version is like 23 GB though.

>>318453784
I've seen a couple of reviewers complaining about the same thing. Not sure if it they're retards or if it's a legitimate complaint. We'll see soon enough.
>>318453907
Do I need to download the patches if I go digital? I see them in the DLC section but I have no way of knowing if it was already included in the original download.
>>318453842
After a certain story point, the entirety of Mechonis will no longer be accessible, so make sure to finish up all the stuff related to it while you're there.
>>318454101
Does that include Fallen Arm?
>>318453509
Gems are replaced with augments and work similarly in that you can replace augments in different armor slots and they won't permanently disappear.
>>318454332
No, Fallen Arm remains for the remainder of the game.
>>318454402
Only difference is that you can keep augmenting until every stat is maxed out.
>>318454054
I've never seen a reviewer complain about something like this that didn't turn out to be trivial to resolve. Maybe they included a hint because they know most reviewers can barely feed themselves.
>>318449387

This, not defending the game in any way but if Nier has taught me anything its that reviewers are fucking retarded.
>>318454054
Its the simple gathering quests like the original game where they don't tell you where to find stuff, not quests that have you looking for key items.
Basically, don't accept normal gathering quests and instead just hand in items once you have enough.
Fuck....I really hadn't read any spoilers. This is pretty disappointing. I was really looking forward to this too, I wanted to go in knowing little about the story. Well fuck, this just killed my night. I made it this far without reading any spoilers too, and then I get them by surprise just a few days before.

Confirmed shit. Will not buy.
Is the English dub any good? I've seen a lot of anons saying its pretty bad.
Friday can't get here fast enough.
I was recently laid off and this game is one of the only things keeping me away from crippling depression.

No, you've seen two at most. They appear in almost every thread, paste in the same comments and insult anyone who doesn't actively agree with them. Watch video of the early part of the game (there's at least one, possibly on one of the shittier websites) and judge for yourself.
>>318456612
Half a year of severance pay helps.
>>318456357
On top of mediocre dub, they butchered all most of the archetype and characterization that the original Japanese had.
Not to mention the reduced number to half of available voices to choose from for MC.
XCX is the Dark Dawn of the Xenosaga series
>>318456632
Come on man, don't be so delusional. Theres more than two people who dislike the dub. Personally I think it's pretty bad myself. Characters are pretty lifeless and most of the dialogue is not good. Treehouse and NoA didn't even come close to doing this game justice imo.

Nagi, HB, and Lin are good imo. Vandham is okay. Lao, Elma, pretty much all of the MC voices, and Doug just downright suck. Theres also "SKELLS" which bothers me a lot. Might nlt after to you though.

Of course there are. But there are also one or two shitposters who make regular appearances in these threads just to paste in their dub nonsense, as you well know.
>>318456357
It's not the worst I've ever heard but it certainly isn't good either. It's a damn shame there's no dual audio because the japanese audio had some fucking stellar VAs in their industry and there was more options for VAs for the MC.

Well, there's like a ~12gb difference between digital and the data packs. So I would assume that there's still a bunch of stuff that they have to load off the disc still.

Those kitty ears are legit though.
You have to love loli autists.
They deny most people IRL are grossed out by skimpy preteens so they act as though NoA's reasonable response is worthy of avoiding the game entirely.
>>318458849
Wels in Xenogears is pronounced with a "ue". There's a Japanese screenshot of that exact shot of the giant Wels.

Since when do they care about anything that isn't mexico? They pulled out of brazil and in all andean countries their stuff is extremely overpriced because of the retarded ways they handle imports.
The fact people are aware of the censorship yet still buying into this makes me wonder how fan SJW censorship can go without people caring.

Considering the word is originally German I don't think error the Japanese made in transcribing it really matter.
>>318459054
Basically Takahashi fucked up back then and now he fixed it by having the correct pronunciation and NoA literally translated it because that's how you pronounce it in Japanese.

>some fucking stellar VAs
On that topic, I think it's funny that people shit on Elma's english VA when her japanese VA is Samevoice Jane.
>>318459975
The Wels Catfish is also pronounced, primarily with the v sound /ˈvɛls/
>>318459035
Wait, did the height slider get cut?

>>318460206
While I like the Japanese VA, I didn't think she did a great job as Elma as some say. Her soothing voice if great for calm Elma, but when Elma gets pissed and lets out a more stern tone she basically sounded the same as calm Elma.
With the English one, her issue is that she is great as Stern/angered Elma, but the soothing isn't as good.
>>318460378
No
>>318460206
Shhh. All seiyuu are talented actors who certainly aren't typecast as a matter of course.
>>318460357
That isn't evidence, it's telling us how to pronounce a word (which is already known) you've declared to be the true meaning as it appears in game. Provide evidence supporting this claim.
Lower than I hoped, but based on what I'm hearing in the reviews it's still worth a shot.
Specifically, the huge, explorable world sounds like a huge plus.
>Ma-non voices
every time I hear one of those fucks all I can do is think about this:
https://youtu.be/T1LzruO-eUU
>>318460641
I'd like you to present the opposite since the burden of proof is on you to prove that Wels is pronounced otherwise and is somehow not the word they were going for. Which you have yet to provide.
>top complaints from reviewers is the game is too complex and that the UI is cumbersome
Are those actual complaints or is this just a case of Western journalists being casuals again?
>>318460894
>soundalikes are suddenly proof of themselves
By that logic Fei is an elf or a homosexual because it sounds exactly like fey.
I haven't made a claim other than the fact that it isn't pronounced with a v in Xenogears. You've claimed to know why it changed and what it means. You are the one who needs to provide evidence.
>data packs finally available in EU
>go to download all of them
>NOT ENOUGH SPACE
I've got the 32gb version, and it's now showing how very short that goes. The biggest thing on my Wii U is the original Xenoblade, I'm tempted to delete it to make room for the data packs. I haven't finished yet but it's unlikely I will at this stage.
>>318461242
what do you think
>>318461263
>mfw no more space on my WiiU after downloading the packs
That NX can't get here any faster.
>>318461259
Something you've yet to prove.
You should get on that if you want me to take you seriously.
>>318461242
Casuals, Polygon's shitty review is western reviews in a nutshell:
>Its too hard
>Tutorials aren't enough I don't get it
>Why can't I heal with magic class or potions?
>Can I customize the UI/Hud? I'm so confused...
>>318461242
Impossible to tell
>>318461242
At this point, you should know that unless it's a Souls game, difficulty is seen as a negative to most western reviewers. If you need further proof, go look at reviews for W101 and Dong Freeze.
>3 days
>>318461242
What a bunch of jokers.
>>318460206
Yes, because her JP VA being bad suddenly makes her English VA good, somehow. Obviously.
Do we still not know the size of the USB? I heard it was write-protected, but all you have to do to fix that is reformat.

Nearly everyone says that the game doesn't do a good job at explaining it's own system. Guess just experiment with what works best for you in regards to combat . Heard when it comes to survey you should to Mechanical more than the others since that gets you better probes. Outside of that read the manual or just try out new things and hope for the best.
>>318461242
>plaints from reviewers is the game is too complex and that the UI is cumbersome
Hard to tell, because apparently most people left that huge "QUEST!" up the whole game without realizing they could shut it off.
>>318461798
I just looked up the Japanese VA and she's not even bad unless she somehow got worse from the last role I heard her in.
>>318461798
The complaining is usually in the context of "UGH I HATE ENGLISH VA ELMA VOICE SUCKS WHY NO DUAL AUDIO???".
>>318461449
>>318461242
Polygon said the UI/combat was too complex and under-explained, Game Informer said it doesn't have enough depth and those two were the lowest scoring reviewers.
So not really, but also yes.
>>318461798
Both versions have absolutely terrible VA, hopefully that improves with the sequel.

Explain how a localized pun is a meme?
Or do you like losing meaning and TL notes?
>>318462709
>Surprised people would rather shit post than play games
>>318463047
In the sense that it's localizing wordplay that exists in the original? Seems like a meme localization.
>>318462709
>"The Skelleton Crew" is an example of meme localization
Everyone's losing their minds about this, but I really want to know what it was originally. Did they take a normal name and just make it a dumb pun or did they take a dumb pun and make it an equally dumb pun?
>>318463331
It was a dumb pun in the original, and they did just that and put quotes around it since the Japanese joke was word play.
>>318447589
>and you gain a temporary, and possibly quite valuable (depending on their level) ally
Sounds shit. Bravely default friends feature broke my game with this shit. Nothing was a challenege anymore.

How does it lose meaning? Just make a normal non-stupid name.

Happy with mid 80's. Just at the right sweet spot where "life support" will soon go away but not high enough to keep going around and screaming GOTY. After a day or so we can have our comfy threads and enjoy talking about what we are going to be riding (Verus) and what Division we are going to be (Reclamer)
