>I tend to get bored with things pretty easily, so I'd like to keep creating things with different approaches every time. Along those lines, I'd definitely like my next project to look and feel pretty different from this one. The 'Xeno' name, by the way, really just exists to make it clear that these are Tetsuya Takahashi productions.
> I'd definitely like my next project to look and feel pretty different from this one
PLEASE be a sequel, you can't cock block us like this
>>320425665
Still on chapter 6 because I love doing dem sidequests. Been mostly avoiding Xenoblade threads as to not get spoilered, which has worked so far. Chapter 5 was such a trip.
>>320426235
Doesn't sound like it will be a direct sequel to XCX's storyline at this rate, so many questions I still need answers to
>meet Yardley
>asks me to bring him some shit
>20 some odd hours later
>still haven't found a California Sunset
I swear to Christ I had an easier time finding the Sword of Kings.
>>320426235
Bro, he's just gonna make a Wild Wild West version of XCX
It'll be amazing
I just got a FILE-USP something or other and I can't find it n my inventory. What the fuck is this?
>>320426235
>He's going to reboot Xeno again

>>320426467
Blueprint for weapons development. Go to the AM terminal and go to Develop New Weapons.
are there exploits in this game yet?
Should I even bother with level 50 skells if I'm just going to get level 60 ones soon after? I really don't want to drop ten million on something I'm going to use for three hours
>>320426612
Thanks.
>>320426235
In a way I kinda respect this. But in the same way, Chronicles was a complete story. X feels like the prelude to humanity getting rebuilt.
>>320426284
I'm on chapter 8 lvl 40 doing every side quest too. Also bringing everyone up to lvl 30 so they can board skells.
>>320426717
There are levels 60's ? Tought you got 50's and it eas done outside special ones
>>320426593
>>320426612
Oh shit nigga it was a skell super weapon.
>tfw so bored by the story and lack of variety in areas that you''re replying the first one
I'm actually having more fun than my first playthrough.
Maybe because I'm not just running straight to quest markers.
I'll finish this game someday.
I hope that a possible third xenoblade game goes back to the style of the first game however.

Isn't there like an Ares 50, 60, and 90?
Holy shit,Chimera Laowas an ASSHOLE. Hardest boss I've fought, easily. Didn't lower difficulty cause fuck that, but WHY did he hit half my health when he was near death?
>Xenoblade
Why -blade again? The Monado is nowhere to be seen outside of a reference in a silly Nopon quest. Was the brand recognition of the first Xenoblade that strong?
Personally I would've named it something more fitting, like Xenocore or Xenoworld
>>320427070
You unlock a whole bunch when you beat the last story mission in the develop new gear category.
Ares 50, Ares 90, and lv60 versions of each of the other frames.
However you'll want the lv 50 frames since the shit you need to make those frames is rough to get.
>>320427702
The lower difficulty mechanic is dumb, they should have let you toggle it off in the settings
>>320425665
Still at chapter 7. Just got my Skells so I'm having too much fun steamrolling every motherfucker that gets in my way with my huge swords and my superior firepower, rolling around while I do side quests and leveling up my teammates so they all can get mechs too.
>>320427837
Nintendo wanted the name
Originally it was only going to be X
>>320427837
Don't forget Lin's hairclips
>>320427702
Bosses I had the most trouble with were the Tainted Sphinx, the cat mechs, andthe Vita's second form
>>320427837
Does the cat lick his balls all the time and nothing more? I just got the little puss.
>>320427837
Marketing.
Hell, Xenoblade wasn't even going to be called "Xenoblade", they just renamed it for the same reason.
>got first level 50 Skell
>farmed Phoenix and G-Buster
>Leveled group to 60 and plowed through several classes
>Finished collectopedia in Primordia, Noctilum, Oblivia and Sylvanum

Busy day it was. Shame I'm probably hopelessly overleveled for the story by now. 2 chapters to go.
>>320427837
Marketing purposes.
Rather shameless as far as I'm concerned.
>>320428068
They change positions and poses periodically from what I've seen
why is breaker crush so hilariously op
60 second cool down is a bitch but if you roll cockpit time you two hit everything
>>320426235
What the fuck. The next game is looking more and more like it isn't going to be a sequel with every interview he does (he said he wanted the next game to be a new genre as well).
Why the fuck would you leave so many cliffhangers then? Why not just make a simple story about humanity crash landing onto a planet and having to survive, wrapping it up at the end with no threats and with humanity settling into life on Mira?
Fuck you Takahashi.
>>320427837
Did you forget that the military organization you belong to is called BLADE? And that you are technically Xenos on Mira?
You are the Xenoblade anon.
>>320428049
I got through theVitaeasy-mode cause I had made the Megaflame Launcher, but then, yeah.

Two pharagraphs in and he is already adressing a Nintendo problem: excesive pandering to Japanese audiences. Pretty based tbqh. Xenoblade X at least didn't turn out as another Skyrim wannabe.
Just got to post-game.
What do I do now?
>>320428717
They had to condense a lot of it into 3.
redid my frontier nav - here's my layout if anyone cares to take a gander
i'm sure it can be more optimized but I need to get more probes, i'd especially like more research probes
I'm waiting on a fucking island in the middle of a lake for it to start raining. Apparently, this Tyrant that I have to fight only comes out when it rains.
It's been four days without rain.
I am becoming delirious.
The end is near...
Dear God, send the... rain....
>>320429385
Fast travel should change up the weather.

Speaking of the first game, I skipped it. Is it completely unrelated? Can somebody summarize it or something?
Yo niggas let's compare soul voices and argue about what options are best.

>>320429614
It's unrelated but you'd be tool to skip it and just read a summary. Its a great game.
>>320429784
When you start getting close to 60 start hording them.
If you don't want to farm enemies for a lv 60 Skell Frame you're going to need thousands probably to buy all the drops.
>>320429614
If you were ever going to play it, you're fucked having played XI went back yesterday for a quick play of the 3DS version and FUCKING HELL the gameplay of that game is awful at times
Apparently I have almost 32 million credits. Money sure lost it's value in the post game.
It would be nice if I could buy late game augments for 5-10 mil a piece just to have a reason to even be collecting money.
I've yet to reach 0 insurance on my Ares and I doubt it's that expensive.

Also it's been a while since I've played an RPG, the last one I played was FFX.
>>320430217thanks doc
>>320429826
That sounds kinda dumb, and they totally recycled thehuskpart. Where the hell does it take place? Some random planet with humans in it just because?
>>320429904
This is why I'm not gonna play it: >>320429996
I hate that pseudo MMO bullshit combat system. The only reason I deal with it is because of the awesome setting, the exploration, characters and mechs. There's no way in hell I'm gonna go play a game with worse gameplay and not even a sprinting feature, sorry.
My internet connection keeps dropping, and it's rare that, while playing XCX, "X - OFFLINE" isn't in the upper left corner.
Am I missing much? Doesn't feel like I am, but I could be.
>>320430321

>Whew, that was a bit rough

On two gods.
>>320430342
Here's a big tip. Read the fucking in-game manual. It'll help you a lot.
>>320430217
I'm glad I bought the skell with the G-Buster. That sword is fucking great.
>>320430402
Nothing worth the trouble. If anything being online gives you squad coupons that you can exchange for some items, so they can come in handy sometimes if you're only missing one or two to complete a quest, but other than that, nothing.
has anyone made a list of blueprint drop locations yet
I desperately want to see what photon sabers you can build
>>320430473
Happened to me too. Wasn't expecting to run into something like that for that quest.
Luckily I said fuck it and jumped in my skell and repeatedly one shot them all every respawn with phoenix.
>>320430342
Be ready to see the sites of Mira, because it is a big world.
>>320430635
The tickets are more than somewhat handy. They can remove a good chunk of item grinding when you're trying to make high tier stuff later in the game/post game.
>>320430738
I tried to do that.
But on the 2nd wave they all oneshot my party members and focused fired my Skell down in a second because I wasn't expecting another 10 to spawn.
>>320429337
What happens if every single probe spot is a red line combo?
>>320430510
Oh, shit it's true.
>Xenoblade Chronicles takes place on the frozen bodies of two warring gods
What the fuck man? I'm glad they went with a more traditional sci-fi approach this time, even if weird things end up happening or whatever, at least the setting is initially coherent.
>>320430389
>He doesn't like the Xenoblade X combat system
Shit son, what a shame
>>320430389
>Where the hell does it take place?
In the bodies of two gods
>>320430389it takes place on two gods, the bionis and the mechonis, bionis having biological life and mechonis having mechonic life, and you basically travel across all of the bionis then shoot up the mechonis inside with shit tons of elevators and whatnot
>>320430938
You unlock the secret MGS5 ending.
>>320430938
it gets a boost in performance, I don't think it goes over 80% though
>>320430970
There was something Lovecraftian about climbing the bodies of two sleeping gods in XBC. Don't knock it until you play it.
>>320431039
I'm one of those guys who hopes the Squeenix building suddenly collapses and everybody working there dies.
Seriously, MMO combat is the worst shit ever. If you want an action game, make an action game. Otherwise stick to turn based combat.
MMO is some sort of shitty middle ground that only translates into characters moving around doing nothing, awkward pauses for no reason, hits that never connect, and a shitty camera that never focuses on what it should be focusing. It's the worst shit ever.

You know, the ones that turned a perfectly fine JRPG franchise into literal MMO and MMO-like crap one. Sure, that's only part of the problem, but still they're like the ones that started that trend, and the ones that keep doing it.
Also, Takahashi used to work for Square.

I don't think I've gone from outright hating to eventually loving a theme quite as dramatically as I have this one though.
NLA Night is still awful though.
>>320433730
UH UH UH UH
YEAH
>>320433091
Is core system necessarily the plot though, earlier in the same paragraph he says "The design focus for this game was on map exploration and character builds during battle"
Where the fuck are the 2 sightseeing spots on FN 315 in Oblivia?
>>320434009
http://imgur.com/a/n7zxi
How's the game compared to Xenoblade Chronicles? Is it a good time waster or is it a bit more mediocre?
>>320434105
It's a better time waster than the original, so long you don't mind a lack of an actual storyline.
The story is just mostly there to drive the actual gameplay.
Where are Yelv's partner's legs? I got notes from NLA citizens of their general location but I can't find shit.
>>320430509
that was fun ;)
>>320434105
It's miles better imo.
>>320431501
I agree with everything you said and i still like it. What the fuck is wrong with me?
>>320425907
I've hit my cap for squad tickets, I'm level 35 at Chapter 5 and none of the side quests need items I can buy with them.
What do?
Just got my skell license. I love how trivial they make 95% of all combat encounters
>>320434079
Oh shit, thanks anon.
>>320434442
Buy items that need like 200+ squad tickets.
You'll need them.
Should I even bother equipping a ranged weapon on Amdusias? All the bonuses are for melee.
>>320434201
Is the gameplay satisfying? The combat system, mecha driving, the side quests and all that fuzz?
>>320434545
ye
>spend 1 million credits on god skell
>can two hit enemies 11 levels above me if i get cockpit time
why cant i just put breaker crush in every slot? itd make combat much more 'exciting'
>>320434558
Just random bits and pieces?
Whats special about the classes?
All the stuff I see say the same things
>>320434648
Stuff for the high end crafted Skell later in the game.
Should be able to look up exactly what you want on your own.
>>320434638
>1 million credit skell
I await the day.
>>320427437
Not really it show me that the story doesn't have much depth
>>320426235
Great let's fuck Xeno more
>>320434769
Cheers.
>>320434105
Much better. Tons more stuff to do, exploration is much more fun than just finding a secret location once per map. Side quests don't overlevel you, in fact they are required to keep up with the main storyline. Game is hard, and you can fight higher level enemies if you want straight from the start.
>>320434637
I find it surprisingly addictive, actually. But it's somewhat overcomplicated and has a lot of things to take into consideration, and the game's difficulty doesn't fuck around.
The feeling of exploration dies out slightly after you get your giant robot, too, which is a shame (but it's entirely understandable and feels like a decision that actually respects your time, unlike many open-world RPGs where you get shit base movement speed and can't do much about it).
It'sfunin all.
Is there a way I find out what I will need for my level 60 skells ?
I remember someone posting a badass webm of nagi fighting and teleporting and shit
does anyone have that saved?
>>320434796
well i bought a 500k level 30 frame (i forget the name, you prob know the one) and then i bought like 500k of weapons
breaker crush is op as fuck but so expensive, god
>Some higher level missions are appearing on the board
>Some of those clothing prizes
Fuck. I might be stuck with tank tops now, but pretty soon I'm gonna have a pretty sweet wardrobe
>>320435027
I also found the wonder of exploration was kinda ruined by skells but I also appreciate blasting across a hex in about 3 seconds. Plus, by abusing jumping I've managed to get to a lot of probes / artifacts I shouldn't have due to placement & enemy levels etc, so I appreciate their benefits.
The initial exploration of Primordia and Noctilium was amazing though.
>>320434243

MASTERMIND VS GALAXY KNIGHT
BOTH SOUND COOL
I just accidentally changed the difficulty down while fighting the sexy alien. Can I change it back? I haven't saved in ages.
>>320435540
FMJ.
>>320435451
There are so many little nooks and crannies as well as things you'll just zoom right over if you're in a Skell so exploring on foot is still pretty helpful.
But they are a godsend if you're attempting to nip into areas to find specific objectives like field actions or probe spots.
>>320428425
Damn, that's good. That's really good.
>>320435389
im not usually one for plainclothes paladins but hipster gwin is godtier
>>320435529
better load times and model loading in the general. Even then the view distance is still pretty shitty but it's not gamebreaking bad. It's more noticeable in NLA.
>>320435027
>The feeling of exploration dies out slightly after you get your giant robot
Much more then slightly for me. Prior to getting mine I loved running around the huge world just dodging monsters and looking at shit.
Now, I just run between objectives, sometimes stopping to crush something enroute.
So, I decided to park my machine when i'm doing affinity missions or story missions. Only use it for the jank ass collecting or run around missions. And everything feels great again! Plus, I know I can always just grab extra fire power if i feel I need it!
>>320426235
So does that mean Xeno is Takahashi's "Final Fantasy" in that the games are loosely connected through references?
Does that make the nopon the "moogles" of the series of titles from now on?
>>320427880
Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking about skipping out on level 50 frames since they're so expensive if level 60 frames were just right there. I'll be sure to enjoy the grind
>>320435705
That's a pretty badass MC.
>TFW X was a dumbed down, westified aberration of Chronicles and people are just eating it up
>>320435467
Thanks for telling me what I already know so that doesn't help at all. Is there a quest I have to wait for, any enemy that drops them or is a tressure spot? I've looted all but the lvl4 bio stuff near those places and nothing so far.
>>320435808
Cauldros is pretty much designed to be explored with a Skell and the flight pack, though, at least outside the coastal areas.
Anyone know what the song is that starts at 10:36 here?

I've asked this in another thread but I figured I'd try one more time
>Give L the Party Suit
>Realize it is about the most perfect option I could have chosen for him specifically
It just works.
>>320436020
Party Suit AND round sunglasses, bro.
>>320433091
Seems like he's mastered the exploration and battle system, which could be the "core" he refers to.
I wish he'd just come out and say whether or not he's talking about the story and characters
>>320431441
Really reminded me of a Monster Hunter map that is inside a huge monster carcass.
>Most missions in Primordia and Noctilum now use enemies 10-15 levels above me
>Shitton of missions want me to go to Sylvalum or Cauldros
I should be okay if I have a skell or two, right? Trying to reach Cauldros on foot for Hope's mission was a pain
Also is dual guns/lances a good weapon combination? Or is the standard FMJ just better?
>>320435868
thanks man, was hard to make a good face with all the bases being irredeemably anme
also that gwin looks great. what shirt is that?
also you should finish the mystery man quest. it's amazing, probably the best questline in the game (though i'm only at 40 hours so i can't say yet)
>>320434593
It's always fun at least setting up some drones before binding an enemy for consistent damage while holding them down
>Thought Ryzz and Dhaghan were going to get development
>Nope, dead
Pretty much every villain so far in this game, except for the cat people who were barely even villains in the first place.
>>320436236
I believe it's the yellow camo tank.
And yeah I finished that quest. The pic is from a few days ago

>literally a westaboo
Only thing I don't like are his sentiments every game needs to have a massive open world.

tfw you spent 20 minutes swimming to sylvanium when if you had waited ~5 hours more you would have had a skell and could do it in 5
>>320437601
You get that just for doing the heart to heart
>>320434638
How does cockpit works anon kun.
I just got my skell and i dont understand what it does besides recharging all my arts.
Also, is it random? or there is a way to trigger itiy?
>>320430497
There a good 5 chain in the south-middle oblivia with lots of sightseeing spots.
>>320437678
>squad member
>>320437951
It resets the cooldowns and it's 100% random
>>320437957

Random whenever you use an art. Recharges all your arts, including the triggering one and makes you invincible while in cockpit time.
>>320437951
manual says it randomly triggers when you use an art
and yeah it just recharges your skills. which is why it's so powerful, it skips the 60 second wait on breaker crush so you can completely fuck enemies
Does the game get better when you finally get a Skell? Been playing for about 20 hours now and while the feeling of grandeur of the world was amazing at first it's starting to wear on me now.
>>320426235
Basically the same things he's said already, in fact some of these things like respecting Western development like Bethesda is old news.

should i play as girl or boy
>actually decide to do squad tasks since they're plausible this time and don't consist of really hard enemies or collectibles

Thanks game
What would you like to see in a sequel?
>More focus on story
>Have party members actually talk during cutscenes if you drag them along
>Voiced Protag
literally GOAT game if anything like that comes into the sequel
how do you get past the red forcefields that are in some of the caves, I don[t understand what they are why they are there and why they wont let me go spelunking more
>Having problem fighting a guy
>Reload
>8 cockpit times in row during overdrive that never seemed to end
Holy fuck I guess that is one way to win.
>>320439278
Interplanetary travel
>>320439278
no elma
ok fine, elma can stay...
as long as she isnt mandatory in every goddamn mission
>>320439372
>skells in space
yes
>>320439330
>8 cockpit times
someone hasnt been using breaker crush
>>320439278
>>Have party members actually talk during cutscenes if you drag them along
This so damn much.
I brought L along on the mission where you get the Ma'non. There is something supremely odd about having Lin talk about L like he's not there, and then have L grin slowly and nod sagely.
should i buy this game? Or should I wait for NX?
>>320436475
Ok here's Irina's current outfit.
The shorts are called combat stabilizers
>>320439278
Smaller cast of characters with more development. More along the lines of the original where all characters have affinity with each other and have heart-to-hearts instead of just main character and everyone else.
Maybe more linear? The originals world just feels so much more memorable than this one, maybe a smaller open world filled with more complex caves and dungeons.
Keep mechs but improve the combat. Relying on a random chance to reset the cooldown of the two powerful attacks you have is not very fun.
>>320439694
That is the reason I got 8 of them.
Why is GBuster so broken ?
>>320439827
nice
thanks broseph, i dig that color scheme

Depends on the person really.
On one hand you are clearly empowered. Even without flight, vehicle mode just cruises over the landscape and everything.
On the other hand if you are like me, you already explored all the continents and everything possible without the flight module long before you get your first Skell. At that point it wasn't really ruining anything. It just opened up more places I could reach now.
>>320439934
No prob

Every time
>>320439278
less nigger music, preferably same music as xenoblade 1

Fuck you, Doug is a good man
Doug + Nagi + L best characters

pls no
X gets roleplaying so well it'd be a shame to see it gone, and sidequest choices would take a terrible hit thanks to that.
I'd much rather have Cross than another Shion or Shulk.
>>320440363
I'm sorry. It's just too funny to see him like that in cutscenes
>>320439278
Remove the affinity system.
It was shit in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is shit in X.
It's nothing but restrictive and actively discourages you from trying out new characters.
>>320440476
>X gets roleplaying so well
never mind that half the choices are either "boast" or "say you barely got through the mission"
>literally a single player mmo
why should i care about this garbage again
>>320440476
Bitch, Shulk is better than any of the main characters in X
We posting characters?
>>320440638
shulk was kind of boring but it was nice to have an actual protagonist instead of a half-assed "choose your own protagonist"
every other character was arguably better than him besides riki
>>320440490
The bunny face suits Nagi better as it makes him look even more pissed off.
>>320440497
What is the affinity system for? Like... I don't get what its doing in the game? I go in to check it from time to time, but it seems worthless. Unless its actual only point is to show how much a person likes you via the hearts things. But then why have all the rest of the npcs on there?
WE GOTTA GET HIGH ENOUGH TO TRY
OVER THE WORLD WE GOTTA FLYNear the end of the game I stopped fast traveling just so I could fly to this damn song
Should I bother with the missions that are kill this many things or collect these apples? should I just stick with tyrant missions and the main story?
>>320440750
>every other character was arguably better than him besides riki
Outside of Dunban and Melia I disagree
>>320440913
eh, can't argue with taste
i just found him a semi-generic anime character. not bad, but not the most interesting imo
also sharla was more fun to play
i feel bad i never properly played reyn... i only got to hear his ALLEY OOP basketball noises for like an hour in the prologue
>>320440597
That's not even true, those are only the choices you get after you've completed the quest.
For example, in X's version of the Nopon drug ring, you're just a courier and you can decide to whether inquire on what the fuck the cargo even is and turn in the Nopon that gave you that shit, or just deliver it.
>>320440638
That's just wrong. The little of what we see for X's characters actually make them far more mature and pragmatic than half the bullshit Shulk pulled.
>>320440750
>half-assed "choose your own protagonist"
I bet your imagination must be as nonexistent as your love for actual RPGs.
>>320435916
>X
>Dumbed
The story is simpler maybe but X is literally better than Chronicles in every other meaningful facet.
>>320441030
i was exaggerating, but really in most cases there's two option and neither of them are ones -I- want my character to do
i usually have to say something i don't want to and read a character reacting negatively to the thing closest to what i wanted to say
for example in hope's affinity mission, at the end where the options are 'grumble' or be positive or something.
Mastered the shield, so what ranged weapon should I get next to combo with shield?
Currently working on sniper. Might be a good mix, but whats everyone else's take?
>>320440883
I usually do the normal missions and do any of the lesser missions if I pass by them.
>>320441030
>''Cheer Lin'' option, who just dropped some massive spaghetti
>Literally cheering
God damnit
Also, that nigger who says hes the best at Frontier Nav, was so satisfying calling him a little shit
>welcome to New Los Angeles!
Oh god I'm in hell.
>>320441217
Then your reading comprehension must be lacking, because the choices you get in X are vague enough to actually allow a few bunch of stories or character types to fit within each.
I mean, I would like more choices than the usual two or three, but it still works well enough. And it actually makes the game feel like it's your personal adventure, something I've dearly missed in RPGs.
I'd much rather have that feeling than another Shulk or Shion, as I said before.
Anyone else notice at the end of the game Doug carries off Elma's lifeless mimeosome once they beat Lao.
>>320437951
To be more clear every art you use has a ~10% chance of activating cockpit time. So generally the more arts you have the better chance you have of getting it. Of course if you're using a super weapon or anything that takes more then 1 weapon slot up you'll see the amount of cockpit times you get decrease but that's the bakes.
Stuck on chapter 10.
Do I need four skells or something?
>>320441524
not really??????
they're not vague enough. they're usually strongly one personality type or another. like all those times when you can choose to either boast about your achievements or say you were lucky to get out alive
but, alas, got to walk 2 miles home so i'm gone
>tfw i only found out about sprinting and vehicle mode when I got the flight module
>>320441576So you can choose between having mim Elma or real Elma running around behind you.
Hope the next one expands the shooting and sword play mechanics greatly.
>Same combat system
>New weapons modding, customization and tweaking adds a new layer of stats and gear to use
>Aiming is done ala a 3rd person shooter, weak spots and limbs are only able to be locked on with an art
>Sword combat is similar to Ninja Gaidan
>>320441826>Implying Doug isn't gonna use it as the world's most advanced blowup doll
