I'm hyped for my Special Edition. Feel like open world done right. It's not "go to the cave because your curious and find nothing" but just travel everywhere because everything you do actually helps you. Putting up probes, finding caves, fighting wildlife, ect. Also you actually have to work for your Skell unlike FO4 which just hands you the power suit in the first few hours.

Yep, and the japs have done nothing but say how dissapointing it is.

>throw all that shit out of the window with mechs that outclass ground combat by miles and all share the same 'class' since they can all use the same weapons and arts, making the classes pointless
Am I just misunderstanding this? I'm kind of worried that ground combat becomes useless after a while. I like the mechs a lot but I don't want to be forced to use one.

The skells don't outclass ground combat at all. While they make it easier, it doesn't make every encounter a cakewalk and sometimes, it's better to be on ground. When it comes to arts and weapons, while they all share the same frames, there can be deep customization based on what weapons they have since that determines what arts they have.

Situations where the enemies have anti-mech weapons. Should be pretty fucking obvious
>>
>>317352858
Situations where your skell could be in danger, mostly. Since arts are tied to weapons on the skells, you could actually have arts and on your own character that could do that job better. It's really all about utility.

Encouraging has been replaced with Soul Voice, which is pretty much customizable encouraging with stuff attached.
Chain Attacks have been replaced with Overclock Gear, which you could describe as a one-man chain attack.
Arts have a heavier focus on chaining shit together now. Not just break > topple > daze. You get damage bonuses for doing combos and a lot of arts have secondary effects that kick in based on the condition of your enemy or your own.
Visions are gone, of course. No reason why they should be here.
And yes, it's just you. Faggot.

The melee weapon used by Blast Fencers and Galactic Knights.
>>
>>317352078
they are actually very balanced, some monsters pretty much force you to fight on foot or destroy your mech at the first hit. Having someone on foot while someone is in a skell gives him a defense boost, and overall the fuel/cost of the mech encourages you to not abuse them
>>
>>317354202
>overall the fuel

Is actually not much of an issue.
>>
You can use one melee weapon and one ranged weapon from any two classes if you mastered both right?
>>
>>317354202
>overall the fuel/cost of the mech encourages you to not abuse them
Are you even drilling for oil?
>>
>>317354239
Most Mech arts require fuel to use at all, which is sort of a issue unless you're using heavy frame mechs which basically have infinite fuel.

Though heavy mechs are awful to begin with, especially in the air.
>>
>>317354320
Yes.

It's just you. It's more complex.
>>

also there's now to consider that you can choose to break certain parts of the enemy.

But that's not Fallout 4.

>>317354393
Weapons only require between 30 and 200 points of fuel for an attack. That is manageable even with the smallest tank size.
The only weapons that really hurt your fuel meter are the super ones.

duelist is dunban

I never played Xenoblade Chronicles but I like how the mechs look in this game.
Do I need to play XC or can I get away with just playing this one? Can I just fly around in a mech?
The music sounds cool.
>>
>>317355674
You dont need to play XC.
Unlocking mech and flight-module is a bit far into the game, but yes.
>>
>>317355674
You can jump on this since they are not related, but Xenoblade has a similar combat style so you would be more familiar with it if you played it.
You can just fly around in a mech after you get your license, few missions in.
>>
>>317355674
You don't need to, but Xenoblade is a really good game so its encouraged.

Yes.

Yes. After about 30 hours of being on foot.

It started out as NoA Treehouse, but it was literally too much work for them because they're lazy faggots, so they outsourced the rest of it to 8-4, the people who censored Bravely Default and Fire Emblem Awakening.

Unless you preorder too late, or the they didnt stock enough(doubt it as it isnt really a huge million seller), from my experience amazon always ships a few days earlier so you get it either a bit early or on release date, unless its something that requires a personal identification check.

>>317367154
Xenoblade sold around 800k and it was considered a success.
If X manages to sell the same amount of copies on a console with a 10 times smaller instalbase, it will also be a success.

Unless you mean by /v/ standard, in that case it's either 15 million copies or it's a flop.

And how much does it have to sell to be successful? Because unless I am mistaken (I dont know if Sony still does this) but to hit "greatest hits"-tier they had to sell around 200k~500K copies within a few months. Which a lot of games can do quite easily.

Should at least posted first trailer vs released game cutscene if you really want to go full bait.
Even before JP release there were tons of footage even from damned treehouse, you can't actually argue about being misled by trailers when 90% of footage online shows current version.
And yeah, downgrades always happen, in every game. If right now trailers were upgraded and way more beautiful than game is - then I'd agree with your argument.

>>317369168
It's not completely debunkable, because there are shared gameplay mechanics, especially in X cause of complete open world.
But, for me at least, all differences are hard to put in a words.
If you are interested in title, play Chronicles, emulate/pirate/buy it, whatever. X mechanics gets more complicated than Wii's Chronicles but base is the same.
It's really like/hate it type of gameplay. You will see similarities as well as differences for yourself instead of relying on some anons.

The only similarity is that there are quests and an action bar.

My preconception is that you have a big open world, and you grind your way through the game by collecting stuff and getting stronger. You also have shitload of quests which are based on collecting things either from enemies of from locations. You spend a lot of time going from point A to point B which is in itself a waste of time because game artistic side is nothing to admire. Narrative is too childish and too weak, characters are stereotypes, music is what you'd expect.

most quest about killing and collecting are called basic quests - you can accept 20 of them and instantly complete whenever you done.
Drive of sidequests stuff is normal and Kizuna quests, which are all about characters and lore.
>game artistic side is nothing to admire
Too bad visuals and designs are pretty fantastic, disregarding pop-in and some bad textures at places. Probably best sci-fi armour and variety I've seen in awhile, not to mention beatiful dolls.

>Narrative is too childish and too weak, characters are stereotypes, music is what you'd expect.
can't say much about narrative, but at least side characters are not your usual tropes.
Music, well, it's Sawano. Quite a few people like it. It's a bit of shift from Chronicles, but it fits.

I dont know about XCX, but unless it was a side quest string that was related to relationships, you barely had to go back and talk to the NPC again.
>>
>>317371394
all basic quests which are actually about killing and gathering - automatically completed.
Normal/kizuna quests are usually more elaborate with dialogue choices, so you need to go to NPCs usually.

You don't actually spend a whole lot of time traveling, but artistically speaking the game actually is really gorgeous. Collecting stuff isn't really important, although while traveling you'll inevitably grab things as you go. The game is somewhat grindy unfortunately, but not to an extreme degree. The story and characters are about what you'd expect from a shonen anime, albeit a quality one. Music is pretty gud. Quests are entirely optional and really shitty anyways so people can just ignore them since they don't really add anything to the game anyways.

Xenoblade Chronicles X however appears to be changing the music from "pretty gud" to "fucking amazing" as its got Hiroyuki Sawano on board, the same guy who did the soundtracks for Attack On Titan, Gundam Unicorn, and Kill La Kill.
