Main story can range 50 to 80 alone and 100+ hours if you do all those sidequests.
And you get a lot more of arts on the way, if you think that you just need auto attack you going get fucked fast.
Also Spike aura is going eat you alive.
>>342407617
>When does this shit get fun?
Never. You will probably drop it in 20 hours or so when you get bored of the sidequests that you will be doing all of the fucking time. And once you are done with one town's sidequests, you get to progress the story for a hour or two until you hit the next town with million sidequests to be done.
It's one of the most dull JRPGs I've played, and is a quite good proof that JRPGs are not that good anymore. You ask anyone the best JRPGs of the last couple of years and most will say this and Nier. Both are fucking awful games when you really think about it. JRPG fags are delusional.

It's a boring offline mmo with an extremely generic story.
I think you should stick to phone games. Your attention span is too short for RPGs.
I'm playing through the game right now and just beat the octopus like mechon before another one popped up and kidnapped the girl or guy I don't even remember
I guess I haven't played anything so far right?
>>342411465
Not him, but why should I continue playing agame if they can't even make it interesting in the first ten hours? That's not an investment I want to make when all I'm going off of is internet people saying "omg it's the best thing ever!".
>>342411684
Man, at least Nier let me press buttons and fight. This game is auto attacking. There is no sense of control or fun. It feels like I'm just moving the character but the game does the rest of the fun shit.

Not him, but technically not true. I breezed through the game so I'm more than capable of telling you that every boss from Valak Mountains onwards will be either way too high level or so high level that you won't be able to hit it.
Granted, I fucking suck and found out after I finished the game that you can craft gems that give you 100% hit chance. But really, I had to dedicate a couple of hours to grinding monkeys in Gaur Plains before fighting the boss in the Arena of Prison Island 2.

It's more like if you do sidequests you'll be overpowered and the game won't be fun.

>>342413653
The only way you could possibly have an issue is if you actively avoid combat whenever possible, and you shouldn't even be playing games if you do that. Doing even a moderate amount of quests at the intended levels puts you well above the target level for the plot.
>>342413653
How about level up you damn arts and put gems?
Using a Gecko code to reduce my XP gain to 1/3rd was the best choice I've ever made. Do all the sidequests you want, and always stay just a little bit underlevel.
>mfw beating lv. 35 reckless godwin at lv. 30
it's definitely slow in the beginning. I thought it picked up after the intro sequences and the first big death, a couple hours in
>>342414459
>i have to gimp the game to make it fun
So i've been meaning to play this for awhile now. Is there any serious changes/downsides to the 3ds version that I should be aware of? I'd like to have a physical copy, but if the wii version is noticeably better in someway ill probably just emulate it.
>>342412976
XB and XBX feature cool-down based arts combat with auto-attack to help fill up your arts faster.
XBX is much better in combat IMO because you have to consider your soul voices and skills to bring along with your arts based on the class your playing.
In XB, your main source of damage is chain attack and seeing the future gets you out of most binds pretty easily (these don't exist in XBX), so XB is much easier overall.
If you've ever played an MMORPG like WoW, you'd understand combat is more similar to that except positioning is much more important and you also have the break+topple+daze mechanic to give you the best amount of damage.
To OP, try WoW or MMOs like WoW, this game is like WoW even down to talent trees and whatnot.
Why does everyone look so fucking retarded in this game?
>>342414845
All graphics. It's kind of a shame to play a game where entering the first big area is breathtaking on a 3DS screen at 240p
>>342413464
>shite vocals vs based english vocals in Black Tar
Do you even need some protection?
>>342414939
Because Monolith Soft is fucking awful when it comes to character models.

Just graphics.
But, you get a model viewer and jukebox. Your pick.
>>342414845
It manages to looks worse.
You get some unlockable stuff on the main menu with play coins.
>>342414845
Graphics and not being able to switch between English and Japanese audio IIRC.
Yeah if you didn't love it in the first 3 hours you probably won't like the rest of the game. If you force yourself it just won't be enjoyable.That being said, it is definitely one of my favorite games of all time desu.

What'd you think of X? XC is pretty cool but XCX is my GOTY 2015. I'd even say it's in the top ten of the best RPGs Nintendo has ever put out.

It's got its flaws, but I enjoyed it. One of the few games where I genuinely liked the entire cast. They'd be fun to hang around.
>>342414679
I never got this argument. I mean at the end of the day you're still having fun right?
>>342415823
>this is a wii game.jpg
I can't get over how Shulk looks. It's like he came from a 64DD game. I don't usually care about graphics but god damn it's so hard not to notice.
>>342415585
Not him.
X was GOTY for sure, and I played that game 10 hours minimum every day for the entire month, right on time for the New Year.
The main reason why I would prefer the original is simply due to how underwhealming the story and events were. I'm far from a storyfag, but the game simply lacked oomph.Also fuck, 85 hours of PURE GRINDING to kill Telethia. FUCK. I felt like I was going to lose my fucking mind. I had a god damn list at my side with "Kill a minimum of 120 of X enemy for Y item" FUCKING FUCK
Anyways, great game. Story or lack thereof makes the lasting appeal suffer
>>342415937
>artificial fun is now fun
>>342415823
I was about to argue with you about every character being likable but then I realized I completely agree.
Oi m8s.
So I'm playing XBX right now and wondering who comes next after Gwin and Irina as recruitable party members?
Also playing as Partisan Eagle with the Adam Howden voice.
>>342416158
What makes fun artificial? How can you artificially have fun?
>>342416272
you get new characters through sidequests, and not the main story
>>342416301
Fun is just a buzzword when you can't actually think of any real reasons as to why the game is good, don't use it.
>>342416301
Not relevant to the argument at all, butskinner box MMO's are god-tier at getting people to play long after they've stopped enjoying the game itself. "It'll start being fun if I work for it, honest!"
That said, nothing wrong with modding a game to make it more fun for you.
Why they didn't make more vehicle like cars or bike , I have to wait for 6 chapter until I have to get a motherfucking skell
>>342416301
Don't respond to anime girl faces, anon.
>>342407617
great game. best played on dolphin
>>342416064
Small mercy that meme rockets and drop sensor gear made the grinding less tedious.
>>342416561
Because once you get the Skell the world becomes a peanut. And the flying skell makes it a dust particle
>>342416503
I'm not arguing as to whether or not a game is good, I'm just asking what the problem is with modding a game to make it fun.
>>342416530I didn't like this game that much either, I did complete it though. Not going to be getting the sequel
>>342416170
I don't hate any of the characters but I foundDunbanto be a bit unpleasant, which is funny because a lot of people like him
>>342413727
How do you deal with spike aura?
>>342416561
The Skell is cool for combat but it makes exploring become boring. If anything I wish the skell came later.
OP here. If the combat was like Monster Hunter then it would be enjoyable. Auto attacking is shit and I am off to play a better game.
>>342416907
With anti-spike things
>>342416272
>using Shulk on a caffeine overdose
Studious and Joker are your acceptable young options.
I think the earliest recruits are Lao (automatic), Phog and some of the former dlc (all optional). Take Foggy Dilemma off the board and look around for affinity missions. The dlc characters don't show up on the main map like the others, so keep an eye out or read their quest descriptions.

>>342416907
Purge, Spike Defence gems, or topple. Some enemies have a permanent spike aura that you can't remove, and that's where the real headaches come in.
I had the impression I was playing a mgs game ,because how much I sneaked on the enemies back to avoid the fight that were so dull

>>342417178
Seriously. By the time it wears off you're only half done charging your special art button which can only be done with auto-attacks, even if you have haste gems on to the max.
>>342416272
The main five in XCX (Elma, Lin, Doug, Gwin, Irina) are pretty trash, the side characters are far more interesting and generally more useful in battle
>>342417231
> but asking for more active fight is falseflagging now
If all the "This would be better with Souls combat" posts are anything to go by, yes.
>>342417275

The problem is you're playing it like an action game where it's clearly an RPG where you have to plan out your abilities accordingly.
Know when the right time is to use buffs or coordinate topple or charge up your burst.

or if you are playing XBC refer to the chart

There's your problem. JP VAs are so fucking generic it's not funny. Riki sounds like literally every other talking small creature in JP media
2 questions
What's the best set up for Riki and Fiora for the Zanza battle?
After the Zanza battle is there some sort of post game break afterwards? I don't want to do New Game+ yet as I still have a few quests to do.
Currently at the point before the fight with Dickson.
>>342418642
Nah, you're a cunt
>>342420319
IIRC, there is no New Game +, you get to start at your base level at the end of the game and take back a set number of items and equipment with you.
There are super bosses and post-game side-quests for you to do if you want to get some cool equipment IIRC.
Yeah, I'm turnin'n up the heat.
>>342420882
Alright thanks
>>342420319
>After the Zanza battle is there some sort of post game break afterwards?
No, after Zanza it's straight to new game+.
>>342420882
There absolutely IS a New Game+, you crack-smoker. You retain your levels, Affinity and Affinity coins, artes and their levels, skills, achievements, and get to bring 30 pieces of each type of equipment with you. Not only that, you get to keep the True Monado and it's fuckedous 100% crit rate. There's no post game either; you beat Zanza, the game's over, credits roll. Once you beat Dragon King Alcar in the Corridor of Silence, you've opened up everything in the game before the point of no return.
>>342407617
I didn't understand what the fuck I was doing in my first fight in Xenogears, but at least I didn't jump straight to the internet to say its shit.
>>342420319
Get the Speed V body equipment for Fiora. It gives her 45% Haste. Have her learn skills and link Dunban's skills to increase her critical attack rate, double attack rate, and healing on every critical hit she gets. Then turn her into a sanic speed double auto-attacking critical healing monster that's constantly activating Sword Drones.
>>342421694
Fiora is a beast against everything that doesn't have counter spike.
She dies instantly to those things.

I did this at first too, once I heard fiora's jump grunt I was done. Then I had to deal with all the high pitch battle screams and decided english wasn't that bad. Honestly I probably would have stuck with japanese if the voice outside of cutscenes was translated. You miss a number of humorous post-battle conversation in the japanese language.
Honestly this is one of those games that made me wonder why I didn't play it sooner.

I logged in over 50 hours before I even made it to the top of prison island and I had 100 by the time I was done with that game. Truly one of the greatest RPGs in recent years, kinda saddened that I heard that XCX doesn't hold up to it.
What's everyone's favorite team combo and world music?
I fell in love with satoral marsh at night, most gorgeous environment in a game I've played in years. As for my team I used dunban and fiora for dodging and rapid quick attacks, then riki for aggro absorption and light healing.

>>342423043
>>342423254
How is looking up what a deathblow is spoiling the game? It's literally in the fucking game manual. But obviously if you don't own said manual you have to look up what it is.

>What's everyone's favorite team combo and world music?
Not to sure about team combo, but maybe Shulk, Reyn, and Dunban. As for world music it would probably Alcamoth at night. I don't know why but, something about it just feels right with the area and reminds me of nice times.
>>342416503
>Fun is just a buzzword
No
We're not doing this shit again
>>342424747
I feel like I'm the only person that didn't figure this out until the characters did. I got spoiled on a lot of things about this game, but that wasn't one of them.
>>342425071
It's a bit more obvious with JP VA because anyone can pinpoint Norio Wakamoto
>>342416875
That's unusual, dunban was my favorite in the cast.
Ryen was a pretty cool bro, but I stopped using him halfway through.
Sharla was the clutch medic that had your back and a loveable older sister.
Melia came in most handy with the lorethea fight, she was cute, felt bad that her feelings for shulk got sandbagged.
Dunban was the humble hero of days past
Riki was the comic relieffiorawas a clutch fighter, glad she made it
Shulk however kinda disappointed me, given his appearance and voice in smash I expected him to be this cool MC. Yet I was underwhelmed by his character, hell he was almost forgettable. Not to mention his annoying habit of NOT TELLING HIS FRIENDS OF THE IMPENDING DANGER! Especially after ryen begged him not to hold it in.
The only two things I think Xenoblade could've done that would've made it better is Gadolt should've made it to your party. I saw the deathflag a mile away, which is sucks because tons of other characters were getting "get out of death free" cards. That reminds me, poor melia, that girl did not deserve all the shit she had to deal with by the end of the game.
The second would be that they should've allowed you to play it co-op. It would be awesome to coordinate a boss fight between two other players.

i tried to play this game on my wii, and i stopped to play the n3ds version that came out. for some fucked up reason my game (i have a n3ds) lagged when i was playing it. like really bad. but afterwards i fixed something and updated my luma, and made sure to check the setting (cpu whatever) i'm hoping it will go back to playing normally, because i fucking love this damn game.
>>342425479
>NOT TELLING HIS FRIENDS OF THE IMPENDING DANGER!
He stopped that when Reyn told him to start relying on his friends before the Xord fight, and ever since then he starts telling them about every vision he has.
>>342425479
For me it's Melia >Riki >Seven > Shulk > Sharla > Reyn > Dunban
They're all pretty close though and I don't hate anyone.

>Switch to jap VA

>>342423441
>XCX doesn't hold up to it.
Everything you mentioned in the greentext outside of the OST (hit or miss for people) is improved upon in XBX though.
The only disappointment for most people is the main story, but a large chunk of the game is sidequests (which produce all the character development and world building) and world exploration so it's probably a game you'll enjoy very much.
At least I really appreciate the large amount of characters you can choose from to have in your 4 person parties with much more balanced and fast-paced combat.
You also are able to sprint and jump quite high and far which was something I really liked over teh slow movement of XB.
>>342415956
This is the benefit of playing the HD graphics version on Dolphin then. Most of the changes are main party retextures.
>>342430535
Combat is worse in XCX. Late game relies too much on overdrive and auto-attack crit builds are completely useless despite having a number of skills to support them.
Instead of buying any Xenoblade game
Buy Fallout 4 and its DLC

>>342434841
Only go for the 3DS version if you have no access to a Wii or emulation.
>>342434841
Wii but, 3Ds version is cheaper. You decide
>>342435072
You fuck off MMO kiddie.
Name a vidya character better than Dunban.
Pro tip: you fucking cant
>>342435214
This. I have it for 3ds, and it looks like I'm playing through a goddamn screen door. The framerate is also fucking terrible.
I literally cannot bring myself to finish it
should i finish this game? i'm at the point where the giant mechonis is in the background. pretty sure im at the end except for finishing up quests, getting armor etc. i think the final fight is coming up if i move forward despite being in the open world and having stuff to do at the moment.
got a good 70hrs or so i think out of it so far. highly enjoyed it on dolphin with higher resolution and such. i almost feel bad for people who played it on a wii. they missed out on a beautiful game only because they didn't emulate.

This. For whatever reason, the posh british voices are superior to the JP voices in this case. Literaly the 1/1000 case where english > Japanese.That, andThey at least kinda mask muhmkar and Fiora's voice in the english version adding a "mechanical" tone to it. where as JP version it's literally just the same/
>>342411817
THE GREAT HERO DUNBAN!
>>342423441
>the strategic combat
Its about as strategic as a tales games, and the characters are just about ass deep too.
>>342435601
Sounds like your at Fallen Arm which is like 55-60% twards the ending. You still got a ways to go. It's ok to take a breaks from the game(I know I did) because that place and own ward is pretty slow. You'll know its the final fight when the game stop and warns you to move on.

>giant mechonis in the background
Could you be more specific
>>342408134
British accents in videogames trigger me for some reason. They all sound like fucking chavs.
>>342435601
>giant mechonis in the background
The problem is that the game pretty much render Mechonis on background in a lot of places.
But if you are in mechonis fallen arm you are halfway in the game.

its been a while but on pretty much all the open world maps, you can see the mechanic in the background. its alive and moving, waiting for a fight i guess. story wise i'm beyond the mechonis factory or w/e, i was in there for like 10 hours leveling up and grinding for gear. but after you leave you can't go back because the place goes boom.
Do I have to use a Wii remote to play this if I buy it off the Wii U Eshop? They finally put it up in America and Super a Paper Mario which I wanna try but fuck the Wii remote I wanna be comfy and play off the Wii U pad
>>342436801
The game don't use waggle. But you need nunchaku or pro controller.
>>342436801
Nope, no motion controls what so ever.
>>342436657
If the Mechonis is moving you've got probably 70 or 80% done. Then you head on to the Mechonis Core, which thankfully isn't as long as Mechonis Field or the Central Factory was.
>>342437130
Well that means I can atleast play it laying down thank you anon
>>342436801
I got the game off the eshop too and yes you can play it, but I'm having trouble playing it on the Wii U pad. For some reason the movement won't always go forward. It'll just force you to move back in the opposite direction. I never figured out the problem so I just played it with the Wii mote.
I don't know if this is unique just to me.
>>342437362
oh yeah im sure theres a whole long dungeon part yet. i just think im in the last time ill be able to do open world stuff before i move forward. which sucks, i enjoyed it for what it was but this is where i stopped playing. no particular reason i stopped. i just knew the end was ahead and didn't continue. maybe i was going to grind armors or something.
from what i played though, a+ 9/10, would recommend, best jrpg i've played in a long time. and on the wii, ha. its almost as if nintendo shouldn't be a first party self-serving communistic party.
So I got the 3D version of the game so I could check the time on the go
Asides from the resolution how worse is the 3DS version of XC?
>>342438026
Some framerate drops there and there later in the game. It's alright but I think that nintendo should had wait for another Portable to re release xenoblade.
3ds don't make justice.
>>342407617
>>switch to JP VA
>>342408134
You're literally a pleb if you don't do this.
While British voice acting isn't nearly as bad as American voice acting, the original Japanese is always largely superior.
>>342407617
Not gonna lie. This is one of those games that takes a bit to get good. After spending $80 on it because /v/ said it was good (and I was a huge fan of the other Xenos) I fucking dropped it a couple times before I forced my way through. By the end of the game though I had been glad I did because I thoroughly enjoyed it and consider it a favorite.
By the timeDunbanjoins as a permanant character though (right afterEther Mines) the game really opens up with a shit ton of combat skills and characters to pick from.
>>342413653
how about building your party correctly and applying the right strategy for the enemy you're fighting?
>saw this at gamestop
>$70 used
>everyone says it's really good
>shulk is added to smash
>like using him enough to want to buy this
>it's STILL $70 used four years after release
>buy it expecting an awesome ARPG that's the second coming of Chrono Trigger
>it plays like some shitty f2p MMO
>mfw i played up to gaur plain and never touched it again
>>342438026
The 3DS version has shit graphics
>>342438484
But right after all the bullshit at Gaur Plains is when it starts to get good, no lie.
>>342438471
>>342438484
you just have shit taste anon.
If you did have good taste, you would have bought it a long time ago anyway.
>>342438484
>Chrono Trigger
>ARPG
Clearly you have brain damage if you remember Chrono Trigger as an ARPG.
Also, unlike F2P MMOs, it's much easier to progress to the end of the game.
>>342407617
Is this your first RPG or something?
Are you surprised that it doesn't play like a casual action game? I can tell you that's normal, only WRPGs compromise their game to make the action like that.
>it's ok if the combat is bad if the story, characters, and environment is breath taking
wew
>>342438484
Did you even look up gameplay videos at all before buying? The combat clearly isn't everyone's cup of tea
>>342438991
It's no bad though
>>342438921
>is this your first RPG
>literally mentions Xenogears in the OP
I heard American's have poor reading comprehension, nut holy shit.

lol
>>342439128
>It's no bad though
>>342439154
That kind of people just use Xenogears for name dropping, he's probably too young to have even played it.
This is /v/ after all, where people older than 22 are 1% of the population.
>>342438787
>story-wise
Fine then faggot, second coming of Secret of Mana.
>>342439346
The fact that he's going "baww it's not fun yet" but pretends to have liked Xenogears speaks volumes honestly. How long did that game take to get interesting again?
Shit posting aside, Sharla was the best girl.
>>342438484

>>342439652
>How long did that game take to get interesting again?
The minute the first disc booted up.
It wasn't even worth the download.
And i pirated it.
>>342439692

still not it
>>342443703
Bitch, please.
The only Xeno girl better than Melia is T-elos
>>342430535
The characters are not improved. The main character is an irrelevant silent protagonist. That shit hasn't been good since the fucking PSX. The world is not improved. Sure the scale is amazing. I had a lot of fun with it, but it's nowhere near as original as XBC. The combat is not improved. If XBC were slightly MMO-ish, XCX took that shit and ramped it up to eleven. The leveling system is not improved. They took art leveling and dumbed it down, then split it into a bajillion classes. Lazy.
Only one of those things is definitively improved.
>>342443929
>liking worse version of KOS-MOS
>>342444753
You take that back, faggot
the english voices are great, they just needed to talk 2/3rds less than they do now
>it'll never get patched because it's a Wii game
;_;
If your team isn't Melia, Fiora, Dunban then you're a fagwith different taste than me, and that's fine.
