Also great character.

The Riki, Dunban and Melia scene on the Fallen Arm is the best scene in the game.
>>321868095
Shut up, potato-chan.
RIKI LIKE FIGHTING EZ MONSTAHS!

Good taste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otg0CoES8Co

Riki wouldn't put up with Lin's bullshit that's for sure.
Jar Jar Binks
>>321866284
I'm playing Xenoblade for the first time right now, how long is the game supposed to be? I'm like 20 hours in and it still feels early game.
>>321868559
No one in the first Xenoblade would put up with Lin's bullshit.
>>321868618
What part are you at?
>>321868618
Just some advice. Don't think you have to do all the quests you come across, you'll burn out before you even finish them all.
>>321866284
Now, now, BEHAVE!
>>321868709
Nah, Juju would take her snark up the ass.
>>321866284
A nopon.
>>321868618
For me it was 80 hours.
>>321866284
>Nopon in XCX are pacifists
>mfw
>>321868618
My playthrough was almost exactly 100 hours. I did a significant chunk of sidequests but nowhere near 100%. Unless you're going for that 100%, don't feel the need to clear out sidequests and collectables. Just do whatever you end up doing as you naturally explore each area. Getting hung up on sidequests will get boring and you'll also get overleveled and ruin the story fights.
>>321868880
yeah but no one likes Juju.
>>321868990
To be fair, some threats on Mira can only be handled through liberal use of mechs, which the Nopon can't pilot. Missed opportunity not having a Xenogears reference and give them the ability to grow gigantic though. Heck, even Xenoblade referenced it in the quest with the two bethroted Nopon where the guy is too scared to jump into the pond.
>>321866284
Heropon Riki
>>321866284
>not know who heropon riki is
why even live?
>>321868715
Just got to Makna Forest.
>>321868768
>>321869003
Yeah, I sort of noticed that, although ignoring quests feels like a serious struggle against my completionist instincts. Especially when the game basically gives you a shopping list every new zone.
>>321868618
Just play at your own pace, there's still NG+ if you want to get any missed missions and items.
>>321869272
>Makna Forest
That's about a quarter-way into the game, I'd say.
>>321869272
if the quest has a clock next to it, do it because it will expire after a certain story point. Like with the Bionis Leg refugees going back to Colony 6.
>>321866284
>You will never become the heropon
>You will never be a baby-producing sex machine
>You will never be the best party member
>>321869272
I feel you. I was able to give up my completionist tendencies for the sidequests but I would not allow myself to leave any Colony 6 upgrades undone or any Collectable slots unfilled.
Ice Cabbage. Rainbow Slug. Black Liver Bean.
Never again. Never ever again.
>>321866284
Best character.
I wish more JRPGs had interesting characters with unique and fun abilities.Too bad the game was easy as piss, so you never had to make the most of him.
>>321869468
Oka is implied to be somewhat of a cunt though, doesn't she tell Riki she'll divorce him if he can't send home enough money?
>>321869468
Riki's marriage isn't great. Opa keeps threatening divorce and nopon prenups if Heroponing doesn't pay the bills.
>>321866284
a cute
>>321869661
>he did too many sidequests and pointless grinding
if the the enemies outside of uniques and end game bullshit threats stop attacking you, you're overleveled.
>>321869272
Oh I also have another question, since you people seem competent. I've been stingy as fuck with my Art Points until now, fearing that certain arts might become obsolete/useless as characters learn new ones and new characters join. Is my fear justified or should I just level up whatever I feel like?
The completionist instincts also come with minmaxing tendencies I'm afraid.
>>321866284
the legendary heropon
>>321870017
To be fair, it's kind of the game's fault to throw so many sidequests at us and then also make level difference so important in the combat formulas. It's a really bad combination. We get fucked over for completing content that we've been trained to do through years of RPGs.
>>321870017
>too many
Nigga that shouldn't be a thing in a well designed RPG.
The enemies are supposed TO KICK YOUR ASS UNLESS YOU DO ALL THE QUESTS.
When I realised that there would be no damage bump coming at Mechonis, it was already too late and I was maxing out the talent trees at which point I had to grind more to unlock the secret talen trees so I wouldn't waste XP on maxed out talent trees.
Dropped it soon afterwards, what a terribly designed game.
>>321870129
Just upgrade what you feel like, you get art-points pretty fast late-game, anyway.
I never had a shortage of art-points in my playthrough.
Bigger problem was finding the right unique monster that had the item to level up my art to next tier.
Best girl coming through.
>>321870346
Alright, thanks. I'm going back to playing the game.
>>321870129
Never be afraid to upgrade. You'll hit skill caps that require rare late-game drops to lift and you'll be swimming in skill points. The amount of skill points you gain increases dramatically. There's no use being stingy over 500 points when a couple hours from now 500 will be like pocket change.
>>321870431
I got spoiled before I got to the part where she comes back. I didn't like her in the prologuewhich made her demise more of a relief than a tragedy, does she get better?
>>321868302
>>321868398
Rikki is great. I'm glad they didn't get an annoying voice for him. It fits perfectly.
>>321868070
>riki
>tank
HAHAHAHA
>yfw Tatsu
Fuck this worthless faggot. Riki was awesome, did great DoT, healing, was funny and wise.
>>321870665
Not really.
She's fun to play as but her voice when she jumps is one of the worst sounds I've ever heard in my life, and as a person who jumps at every opportunity during video game travel, it was simply unacceptable.
>>321870665
Why didn't you like her anon? She seems sweet and clearly cares for Shulk. She does become more of a badass later though.
>>321870665
What was there to not like about her?
There's like only one Heart-to-Heart with her before she "dies", so you don't really know much about her anyway.
>>321870665
nope she continues to be the mary-sue of the franchise, having literally no flaws and evengets her precious vagina back so she and shulk can have lots and lots of sex while melia gets nothing
>>321870665
If you didn't like her at first, you won't like her later.I sense a fellow Meliafag in the making.
>>321867982
How does what is supposed to be the "cute character" end up being so awesome instead?
>>321870750
I didn't have much issue with Tatsu but everyone around him seems to shit on him more than necessary. Also constantly wanting to eat him which is very worrying considering they humans might think the same way about other Nopon that live on the planet.Yes I know it's a recurring joke but who's to say humans can't be bastards like they have in the past?
>>321870750
I'm actually really surprised that they played Tatsu's annoying sidekick-shtick so straight.
With Riki I got the feeling that they wanted to do something a bit different with the usual JRPG cutesy-character, which I think they did well, but with Tatsu it's like they went backwards.
Best girls press on and on and on and on
>>321870746
He isn't as good as Reyn or Dunban ofc, dipshit. But the rest of the party can't hold a candle to him, so he's a tank.
>that scene when the party's split up and Riki pretends to be tired and hungry so the party will rest because he knew Melia needed rest but was too proud to ask them to stop for her sake
>then he goes and catches fish for them to eat when they do stop
Riki is fucking based as hell, even as a guy who normally fucking hates mascot characters. Probably because he's an actual character and not just there to look cute and provide exposition.
>>321870871
>that subplot of used goods Sharla helping Melia woo Shulk away from Robutt
>Christmas cake doesn't expire and ends up heavily implied with REYN TIME
>Riki has a loving family
>Robutt ends up really feelin' it
>Bird girl ends with nothing but a devastated home and no family
>>321870746
Riki can do everything and most of those better than the characters dedicated to those traits trait. He can definitely tank better than Reyn, which isn't difficult because Reyn sucks ass against everything that isn't physical attacks.
And he is definitely a better healer than Sharla.
Riki even has the most HP of every character, although that did start out as a joke at first.
>>321866284
>Riki is here to serve not be served!
What did he mean by this?
>>321870982
>Hey Takahashi, what do we do about the obligatory non-human kawaii sidekick?
>Let's turn him into a middle-aged deadbeat father.
>Genuis.And it was.
Which songs have lyrics in the original xenoblade? I can't remember the title of teh track that plays when Shulk encounters Metal Face and Seven in the snow area.
>>321870750
I miss Riki -_-
>>321871253
>That Heart-to-Heart on Fallen Arm where Riki realizes that Shulk is an orphan and offers to adopt him
>Instead of brushing it off as comic relief, Shulk is genuinely moved
My heart couldn't take it.
>>321871296
>Bird girl ends with nothing but a devastated home and no family
Kind of sad the more I think about it. Melia basically got robbed of a happy-ish ending.
>>321871406
Surprisingly enough it really was.
>>321871437
if it's a good scene it's more often than not "confront the enemy" that is playing
>>321871296
Sharla is just 21, not cake material yet.
>>321871296
There's always Dunban.Worthless cuck doesn't deserve such perfection though.
>>321871385
Riki would never put up with Lin's schtick.
HEROPON NOT FOOD HEROPON LOVE TO EAT FOOD!
>>321870803
>>321870812
As someone who's seen a lot of the stereotype she has, I wasn't a fan. Childhood friend with mild temper.The fact that the first heart-to-heart choice with her was basically a 50-50 on what was the right option didn't help either.
>>321870886
Not there yet either but I'd say you're right.
>>321871621
How long do you think he can tolerate her shit?
>>321871609
Dunban is already fucking Vanea's robutt
>>321871582
That is the one. Thanks
>>321871609
Dunban is a cuck too. There's an interview in the artbook where Takahashi is asked if Dunban eventually finds love and he says that he thinks he will, but he'll also get cheated on because being betrayed is kind of Dunban's thing.
>>321870431
Really, anyone could figure outShe comes back. She has her own class and weapon type. They spent too much time on her for her to be gone after 20 minutes
>>321871609
Mellia wasted too many chances to win over Shulk but failed. Half breed trash.
>>321868398
Compare this cutscene to every single one in X. None of them match this. As great exploration in X is, the story and characters is so soulless. They hardly focus on anything outside of the Lifehold.
Riki, Heropon, Fatherpon, Hero of the Bionis, leader of the wielder of Monado, all around best Nopon in existence.
>>321870871
Explains why she got into Project X Zone 2 over Shulk. I'm surprised she wasn't a playable character in Smash either.
>>321871747
than he beats the shit out of her with his gutbuster
>waifu faggots fighting
pathetic and annoying. Shut up.
>>321871791
>chances to win over Shulk
it's cute that you think she ever had the slightest possibility of doing that when Shulk's entire motivation for like 70% of the game is MUH FIORA
>>321871909
>why she got into Project X Zone 2 over Shulk.
Because she is a sexy awesome robot chick and perfect match to be KOS-MOS partner. Moron.
>>321871867
Affinity Quests.
>>321871747
By that logic, Fiora will end up getting her shit wrecked again since that's kind of her thing.
>>321871909
The chance of pairing up Fiora and KOS-MOS for Final Cross + X-Buster goodness was too good to pass up.
Riki's (funny) comic relief with surprising amount of depth too. Top tier in battle. One of the highlights of the game for mine.
I just started playing last night and met tatsu. I don't hate him or have any strong feelings, but why does he speak english? Is there a canon reason like some advanced/magic translator ala doctor who? Or is it just a thing I need to not take too seriously and accept?
>>321872062
Are pretty damn shit for the most part.
>oh boy sure can't wait to learn more about that mysterious L character
>lol go explore oblivia so I can open a shop
>lol nopon jokes
I can't even remember what one of them was even about, all I know it wasn't about L.
>>321872062
Outside of Hope's. No. They're all jokes with Lin and Elma required. And they don't interact, they they stand around side by side and say things of interest. There's so little animation in the game.
>>321871930
fighting?
who's fighting? I just see a bunch of Melliafags assravaged that their holier than thou, silver spoon, gets infatuated by the first guy that gives her the time of day, got NOTHING by the stories end.
>>321870746
Doesn't he start off with twice the HP of most party members?
>>321866284
Riki is the only reason I was able to beat Lorithia.
>>321872130
>implying Shulk doesn't wreck her shit with his Monado Buster every night
>>321871930
There's zero fighting going on.WeMeliafags are meant to suffer in silence just like her.
>>321872176
>Is there a canon reason like some advanced/magic translator ala doctor who?
Every race hears their own language when a different race talks. Why? There is no answer to that question or pretty much every question you will have about this game's world/story.
>>321866284
Legendary heropon
Killing machine
Hard working father
Best character
>>321872269
That was originally a programming mistake but they decided it was funny to have the smallest character be the bulkiest so they left it in.
>>321872062
Considering Xenoblade's main story, that's just not good enough. Why put all the writing effort into affinity quests which are basically side quests and not where it counts the most?
>>321870750
TATSU IS FOOD GUISE LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO XD
>>321866284
Punished Riki

>>321872176
They actually discuss that, just keep playing.
>>321872297
THIS IS THE MONADO'S POWER!
>>321871867
Elma, Lin and Tatsu, the main characters in the game, don't even change throughout the story. They are exactly how they started.

that was the moment I knew this was going to be something special
>>321872431
I feel like Monolith has been taken notes on what's considered funny from Sonic Team.
Over 100 hours if you do at least 80% of the sidequests.

No thanks, that's fine.
>>321871609
Dunban clearly wanted to bang her IMO.
>>321868302
That scene is great, but I prefer the one with Reyn and Sharla. He's been so headstrong and sure of himself the entire game, that's the first and only time he gives up in the game.
>>321869074
I like the part where Juju is being a little shit for no good reason and just causing trouble for everybody else. Little cunt can't even drive a buggy in a straight line without crashing it.

Your loss buddy
Is that some XCX-bashing I'm reading here?
Then let me join in:
>XC first major villain
>badass asshole mecha-nigger who the MC has a very personal grudge against and he keeps pissing him off doing atrocity after atrocity
>between 30-40 hours where he reappears over and over again, cluminating in a great climax

>oh boy, what is her deal?
>she dies after her second encounter without a major bang or any weight behind it
>there's zero interactions between her or the heroes, you will barely remember who that character even was
>Let's press on, and On and ON
What did she mean by that?
>>321873139
To keep fighting with similar intensity.
Please put more effort into not being such a meme-spouting faggot
>>321872613
Fucking ouch.
I liked being able to choose the MC's VA in XCX, but holy fuck I'm about a half hour in and I would already trade any of them for anyone from XC's cast.
>>321871867
You know, I have to ask. How the fuck does a developer like Monolith go from Xenoblade's writing to completely fucking that up with its successor?
Gameplay, exploration and visuals are good up but I just cannot fathom how the same effort did not go into the characters or the story itself.
>>321873287
>he didn't make a girl and choose fiora's voice
Shit is hilarious in a skell--she sounds like she's having a blast.
>>321873287

Well done, Monolith.
>>321873380
Not that anon, but as soon as I saw Cristina Valenzuela was an option, I dropped what I had done until that point like a hot Lin and made Shantae.

>>321873343
>Gameplay, exploration and visuals are good up but I just cannot fathom how the same effort did not go into the characters or the story itself.
You just answered your own question.
They were unused to HD-games, so they put their main effort into the gameworld and neglected the characters and the story.
>>321872613
Why would someone make this? Did someone on the team get rejected the same way in their life?
>>321873205
>Suck on this! Bone Upper!
What did he mean by this?
>>321873343
They likely ran out of time and budget. A shame but they should've scaled the game down a bit to fit a better, self-contained game. X just left a bad taste with that shitty ending.
>>321872613
>JUST MARRIED
It's sad that they showed all this bullshit and didn't really give her an alternative. She's a complete outcast with no one on the same league.
>>321873793
Maybe the point is she doesn't need a boyfriend. That she needs be strong on her own.
Just a thought you shippertard.
>>321873493
Actually anon i found a sharla picture the other day doing that exact thing.
>>321873793

She'll probably get Dunban, bro. It's fine.
>>321873793
She can be the Heropon's mistress.
>Melia and Dunban are the only party members without a love interest in the end.
I think we know what they have to do.
>>321874069
Anyone who speaks ching chong, was it like this in the Jap version, or was it just Brits having fun?
>>321873793
implying she won't end up riding every cock on the face of Bionis
>>321873598
>>321873681
Which is bad because writing is what makes an RPG. And before you argue about what makes a good RPG, just remember, people are unhappy that the same writing treatment wasn't given for XCX as it was for XC.
>>321873920
What the fuck are you talking about?
Melia's biggest arc outside of her being half-Entia is her trying to get in with Shulk. Sharla even has a cutscene saying she'll help her (she doesn't). It's part of the story, not shipping.
Part of her character is she wants someone to love despite her pride. She isn't a strong independent woman.
>>321874075
I'm sure Dunban would rather tap Vanea's robutt.
>>321873681
>They likely ran out of time and budget.
That seems to be a recurring problem for Xeno games.
>>321874165
Dunban is too busy strengthening diplomatic relationships between Homs and Machina with his footlong dong
>>321874237
>And before you argue
I'm not arguing with you man. Like I said, they should've scaled back. Gotten rid of the pointless shit. Probably got rid of a bunch of Xeno races, Celica and other companions, so the story can be more focused.
Better to have a focussed story rather than a ton of unfocussed side stories.
>>321874172
From what I understand, Xenoblade's writing was a lot more bland in general in the Japanese script.
Thank god the game got localized when it did.
Melia should have become the villain in a true sequel.
>>321873131
Wait Goetia dies in the second encounter, I don't even remember that happening and I'm just about to start chapter 10
>>321873529
Didn't even know Shantae had a voice actress, I assumed it was all text-based
>>321874359
Was there ever anything in game to suggest this?
>>321871241
He's also a worse tank than Fiora.
>>321874556
She did. She's Telethia, End Bringer.
>>321874492
I'm guessing they probably tried to figure out why it did so much better than most other recent JRPGs in the west. They probably thought it was the grindan' and the sidequests.
>>321874624
Half-Entia can't turn into Telethia unless if it's Mira Magic™.
>>321874734
>Mira Magic™.
That's the explanation for everything else in the game so why not?
>>321874569
>Didn't even know Shantae had a voice actress, I assumed it was all text-based
She only has voice grunting so far with short sentences here and there, but it's a very recognizable voice. She also sings the theme song to the next game.
>>321874624
Certainly a possibility well the Telethia is more of a Guardian than a villain, but thinking about it is just too depressing.
It's most likely some other random Telethia since Melia is only half high entia.
Which reminds me that some concept art of planet Mira has tiny floating city on it that looks just like Alcamoth.
>>321874492
Just saying since every time I talk about the core of RPGs being the story and characters, there's always the argument of gameplay being thrown at me. Gameplay is good but if an RPG has shitty writing, it can be hard to get through, which is not to say this game has that issue because of just how good everything else is but I'd prefer to be given a reason to care about characters and this game just doesn't do a good job of that.
>>321874624
Prove itpls don't, I want Melia to be happy
>>321874947
Yeah, from what I've seen of it from /v/ catalogues, it looked kinda like Zelda

>Xenoblade Chronicles
>Heropon kicks ass
>Xenoblade Chronicles X
>"Le nopons are pacficits XD"
>>321874492
>unfocused side stories
But all of the side stories make the game feel like a really vivid open world experience. It actually feels like you just crash landed on an alien world and everyone is trying to press forward. I can hardly remember any of the sidequests from Chronicles but a lot of the ones in X are knock outs when it comes to their writing.
I can understand being dissapointed it's not Chronicles 2.0, but it's idiotic to try and downplay the importance of other factors outside of a linear story in an open-world game.

That's because Europe localized it before America.I think I found the problem with localized JRPGs

remember when the Nopon actually went to war flying on fucking petrodactyls
>>321875401
It was localised by 8-4, a Japanese company
>>321875401
Can you imagine XC with NoA-approved script and American voice-actors?
>>321873681
It's more likely that when they shifted from a set MC to a player created one that the story shifted focus. Especially since the writers viewed the side quests as equal importance to the main story.

Pretty sure just this part.

You only get around 20 arts for every character,so if you like an art you'll probably stick with it until endgame,spend those points
>>321875584
>killing god

>>321874256
You're ignoring the other half of her arc, where she comes to terms with Shulk's love of Fiora and Fiora being a decent person in her own way, and moving on in a positive direction. On the contrary, she's proven herself to be a strong independent woman that now knows the value of relationships and will be ready for any future ones. It's actually kind of a better way to resolve a character than just toss them in a consolation relationship just because.
>>321875734
Makes sense considering the fuckton of sidequests in XC. Also I guess somewhere into the writing process, the writers must have changed their stance from equal importance to more important than the main story.
>>321875881
Laugh at me, but this game started kicking my ass when I entered Blade Fortress.
Every fucking fight was as close as possible, Gadolt and Egil were a complete nightmare and I usually tried going around most mechon-type enemies, because they always called for backup.Also I only glanced over most sidequests and concentrated fully on the story, which wasn't a good idea either.
>>321875881
One fight doesn't make the entire game hard
>>321875164
>I want Melia to be happy
So does everyone else.
At least Melia has her sister
>>321876518
Not Takahashi.
>>321872613
That's what happens when you hit the person is trying to help you, they go away with the one that doesn't act like a bitch.
Riki's a heropon
Tatsu's a zeropon
>>321870982
Perhaps it's the same reason the hilariously outdated "funny black guy" in XIII actually ended up being the bestit's not just because they're both fathers
>>321876750
why didn't shulk bring back all the High Entia at the end?
Riki's cute! CUTE!
>>321876239
I feel you man,i didn't actually beat it until the 3ds remake came out because i got stuck at blade fortress and i was underleveled by about 10 levels so i just dropped it and waited for the 3ds remake to come out
>>321877293
Too focused on crushing childhood pussy.
Imagine the thought he put into giving her the perfect hole for his pleasure.
>riki leaves his home, bitch of a wife and annoying children behind to go adventuring with a bunch of strangers because he's fed up with opa and chief dodunga's bullshit.
>>321876284
there's a lot of hard fights in the game though,quite a few come to mind
>>321874165
Dunban is canon too scared of betrayal to commit to a relationship.
Also Melia is now the village fuck bike solely existing to rebreed the High Entia.
>>321875887
>Teddy's VA as Riki
Thank fuck I don't live on a planet where this is a thing
>>321877514
He's going with them because Chief Dunga's going to break some cute nopon-legs if the heropon doesn't bring in cash to finally pay off his debt.
>Sabotage of the White Whale
>Ether Exposure and being able to communicate with Xenos>Elma and her race's stake in the great scheme of things
>Qlurian Systems and Celica
>Samaar Federation
>Zaruboggan & Voltant (Ether?)
It's not like i'm mad about the fact that they left a lot of things on loose ends, it would be fine if the universe that's been cooked up would eventually keep getting expanded in future endings, but considering Takahashi's disposition, it's very unlikely we'll ever see a sequel to this particular storyline, once again...

Little known fact: Shulk did not remake Fiora's body, there's a short story that explains.
>>321878248
I'm glad Riki is proactive.
The nopons in Frontier Village came off as giant lazy hippies. All they do is drink, eat sweets, fuck and sustain themselves.
>>321878593
Sounds like the perfect way of life. Don't forget the underground drug cartel through which they hold the allegedly superior High Entia by the balls.
>>321870750
>Tatsu never dons his fathers glasses, joins the party for real, and becomes an absolute pussy destroyer
>>321876978
That does make sense the more I think about it.
>>321871296
I felt bad for her but really it makes sense. As soon as Fiora comes back on the scene its plainly obvious to both Sharla and Melia that Melia's chances went from fair to zlich faster then air slash's cooldown.
To Melia's and the writers credit though, I loved that they didnt make Melia a sour bitch about it and force a love triangle.
TELL RIKI BED TIME STORY NOW

>do the entire quest line of helping the Nopon in the swamp
>get to frontier village

>mfw you find out that the Nopon from before was tricking you into essentially making Nopon cocaine
>mfw you get to go to do a drug bust on the drugs you helped make
>>321879550
There was once a race called Giants.
Spiders ate them. The end.
>>321875552
At least they kind of acknowledged that Koko probably didnt need your help killing the monster trying to steal her fish. So at least Nopon arnt complete wimps
>>321879957
You forgot the part where the giants left a bunch of their shit lying around.
>>321868618
Xenoblade is DQVII-tier long. By the time you think you're getting close to the end you'll still only be halfway through.
>Riki can win by himself
>riki proceeds to burn, poison, freeze and kick ass
