Xenoblade

this shit is too long, taking hundreds of hours to tell a pretty basic story. it lost my attention after around 45hrs.

not that this kind of disrespect for the player's time is unusual for jrpgs tho...

I skipped scenes a lot. I felt I didn’t miss much, I got about 350 hours in with maybe 270 missions done. I think I counted over 300missions. Not to mention mining and collecting every item. The battle system is unique and fundamental in a easy way, the only confusion is crafting and store buying.

I love the world, combat, exploration, and side quests. But I fucking HATE the main story. It's so poorly written and it's that kind of lazy "epic" writing where they constantly try to raise the stakes and throw new mysterious bad-asses at you, but it's completely incoherent and there's no reason to actually give a fuck about any of it.

is this game fully playable on cemu yet or is there still graphical glitches and crashing?

Fully playable

I'm 30 hours in and I haven't crafted anything, should I do it?

You could get a few attachments or whatever they're called, boost to melee attacks are pretty easy to make

Yeah the main story sucks. The most fun I had in this game was just exploring and finding shit

Theme X and The Way are absolute masterpieces if I could buy music from others and use it in my own video game, I would.

I used to watch this trailer multiple times a day every single day for months.
Never ended up getting a Wii U or the game itself but it still gives me an amazing sense of wonder when I go back to it.
I'm not usually one to beg for ports, remakes or remasters, but I'd definitely love to have this on the Switch.

Finished the story after 70 hours.

Fuck you Takahashi

sequel never

He was planned to be some kind of super alien early one, I think L stands for Lucifer.

He introduces himself as "L'cirufe"

>Better things to do
Assuming the mainline ends with XC3, the only thing left to do will be the X series, the supposed "third route" Takahashi mentioned in one interview, or those fantasy JRPG's they wanted to do. I'd rather X get its focus in the future though to be honest. Like, on the next console.

Xeno- is a very Abrahamic-referenced video game series. Both implicit and explicit.

>but whats the deal with L?
L introduces himself as "L'cirufe" which is an anagram of "Lucifer."
Mira is a pan-dimensional, time-expansive, all-consuming, ever-growing location in the universe where "L" is literally the only sentient native. No, the Nopon are not natives to Mira, they have simply been there the longest, it is not their homeworld either. Mira is a location where those who have died seem to find themselves at, sometimes inexplicably. Sometimes those that arrive can't seem to remember their death; all events lead up to it, but then...Mira. Mira is also a location where those that arrive cannot seem to leave. Mira is a location where beings from all across the universe can communicate to each other in their own languages, no problem.
L'cirufe admits to having existed for a very, very long time. He enjoys new company in his world, regardless of who it is. He's supportive, teasing, helpful, insulting, enigmatic and hides his own history and the planet's. He opens a caravan of goods and spends all his residential time in NLA playing the part of a salesman. Interaction with everyone he can, and always at a cost from you.

>but what's the deal with L?
L is Satan.
Mira is Hell.
It may be a mere Limbo instead of soul punishment, however.

I just wish this game had a proper cast instead of a bunch of random character out of whom only like 2 even matter. Worse is the main character being a mute with no purpose or personality.

I would appreciate a fantasy JRPG

Cookie cutter melodrama made out of looping library samples doesn’t really count as “his music”.

It doesn't emulate well.

I'll be so sad if this doesn't get a Switch port.

But it does?
It's flawless and depending on your PC better than the original Wii U version

>Is the game likely to come to switch?
Probably not, seeing that they're releasing Xeblade Chronicles for the third time looks like they don't want anything with X anymore

The black wire, back to the fields!

You act like it makes a difference. The original draft for X actually had a main MC. You'd likely still be able to customize your characters, so it really doesn't matter.

Wait, what? First I'm hearing of this.

>now
Having never watched the television drama program, I cannot tell you.
Also, the fact that Mira isn't explicitly stated as Hell, Purgatory or some sort of Xeno-limbo leads to pic related.

Takahashi tends to reuse a lot of elements, or general themes from his prior Xeno entries, so Mira is probably just a renamed Imaginary Number Domain. It would make sense, considering everyone's souls are trapped on the planet, and Lin hinted that the Earth isn't really destroyed.

Yelv was supposed to be the MC. Well his design anyway.

Being at the start of the game and reading these spoilers are making me think this game is not what I thought it was

>I heard you get the Skell after chapter 6 and I really want to explore using that
Well, two things about that.

1. Skells let you travel faster AND it opens up AIRBORNE regions for you to explore, too. It opens up more spots you couldn't get to, it makes it easier. It opens up a new combat style. It's cool!

2. Skells are expensive as fuck pic related and you grow bored/annoyed with them VERY quickly. Did you know: you get a different travel music theme when you fly about in your flying Skell? Cool! Oh? What's that? The theme ends when you leave the Skell or when combat begins? Well, you expect that, big deal. What's that? The theme STARTS ANEW when you re-enter the Skell or when combat ends? You mean, it doesn't pick up where it's left off? O-oh...

Attached: Nice Skell there.jpg (824x824, 1018.38K)

Skells trivializes a lot of the exploration, i say hold off on getting one until you start wandering about Sylv... Sylvalium? Sylvavum? The white region, that shit is too open and obviously designed for skell use

>and Lin hinted that the Earth isn't really destroyed.
When did this happen?

A setup for a trilogy no doubt in my mind.

XB Definitive first though. The fact that Elma exists in XB2 shows that they clearly have an interested in continuing XBX at some point.

I change the girls' clothes a lot

There's a lot of concept for who L is, both for XCX and in Xenoseries in general.

Attached: concept L.jpg (1280x1834, 333.92K)

Well obviously they want to continue X at some point. Takahashi, and Koh said they wanted to make a sequel at some point. I assume they're just going to put it on hold until after the mainline is finished. That's assuming XB3 is the end of the mainline, anywho.

>Mira is the IMD
>Earth is Lost Jerusalem, again
Makes sense, considering you never really see Earth explode or anything. Everyone just gets sucked into this white light, and dips off to Mira. I want to know more about the Ghosts, though.
Pretty sure it was late in the game, or in a side quest.

Well, I did for a while, but then I gave them their own styles and let them keep that.

Attached: hope the religious nun she is.jpg (655x900, 351.13K)

Mira also is reference to the Mira in Baten Kaitos, which represented a state of limbo being in a intermediate dimension

The reveal that everyone on earth died and all the "people" in New LA are just digitized copies of the dead people's consciousness' really messed me up. It isn't that their consciousness' were transferred over, they were only copied. Which means the actual people are dead, and only data that THINKS they're the humans remains.
There's something so existential and terrifying about that concept.

Attached: 1582858352297.jpg (648x960, 48.33K)

The real question is will they finally settle on hiring a permanent character artist or keep shuffling between different artists between games? For me, it'd be pic related as for who I'd want them to use.

Attached: xenobladex.jpg (2758x3905, 3.93M)

>an actual xeno thread where we talk about concepts and philosophy instead of mythra pyra and minge

what planet am I stuck in?

Earth probably isn't even destroyed. We never see it explode, or anything. Now what would really be trippy, is if thousands of years passed by on Mira or something, and everyone's bodies are still on Earth, decayed.

Well this isn't a XC2 thread for one, and secondly, why even bring it up? Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I'm tired of that shit. Takahashi supposedly said they were looking for a head artist to hire moving forward, but we probably won't find out until the next game releases. I like Choco's mechs more than his character designs, but meh.

I wish I could play Xenoblade 2

>Tfw everyone is in limbo while their souls are stuck on Mira
>End of the X series has everyone return to their bodies, and they begin to colonize over planets
Would be nice

So, hows cemu in the optimization department?
>Look up requeriments
>NVIDIA GPU: Runs as expected on most recent driver.
THE FUCK DOES THIS EVEN MEAN

The mainline will continue until Xenoblade 9, then we'll finally have XI

I don't know, but if my shitty PC can run it so can yours I guess

>Xeno- is a very Abrahamic-referenced video game series. Both implicit and explicit.
Ironically they altered the naming of a lot of religious themed things in XC2. The Architect isn't called God, Elysium isn't called Heaven, and the Aegis aren't referred to as Holy Grails. I think there's some other shit too, but it's annoying.

game isn't very gpu intensive unless you play in 4k. It's cpu intensive in nla and sylvalum

it means if ur using an nvidia GPU, with the most recent driver, your basically not going to have any issue, because any nvidia GPU that is remotely relevant is more than enough to run anything you throw at it with CEMU

Not even other mythologies were safe as they changed the names of the 4 onmyoudou gods, i believe only Genbu survived

>Takahashi, and Koh said they wanted to make a sequel at some point.
Kojima definitely said it but when did Takahashi?

>Pretty sure it was late in the game, or in a side quest.
I'd really like to see the line itself. I keep seeing it referenced but I don't remember it and I've never seen the exact quote.

>I want to know more about the Ghosts, though.
XCX equivalent of the Gnosis maybe?

Probably not.

Get this.

A hypothetical method of achieving eternal life is via simulation theory.

Build a Universe simulation. Accelerate to a point societies can develop. (heavier elements, stable star formations, etc). Proceed. Eventually, civilizations in that simulation will produce their own simultions.

The trick is perhaps in the shortcuts, but the idea is that each layer of simulation is running faster than the lower. Think of that infinitely subdivided Second (time). But relatively, a consciousness inside any given simulation would experience it no different than at any other ordering.

There are potentially hard limits, and it may not even be possible to effectively have a simulation running any faster than the base (hence shortcuts).

Mind, this isn't quite the same as omegapoint simulation theory. Instead of one simulation producing millions by virtue of the 1 directly producing millions, the idea here is that only one simulation per order, but effectively running subsequent simulations in simulations 'faster', since that even if it takes 10 years to effectively simulate the entire history of say 20trillion years of a Universe, then toward the end of that 10 years, you will effectively see total simulations scaling toward infinity, and if you put your consciousness into one simulation, you could enter it into subsequent iterations, for 'eternity', and never exceed (or even reach) 10 years duration in the base simulation.

Xenoblade X is my favorite in the series

I unironicly love that song.

now this is a comfy xcx thread

It's probably my least favorite but it's still an amazing game. X2 has insane potential and I desperately hope it's made.

People usually only look at the other Monolith Soft Xeno games but Baten Kaitos and Soma Bringer both share story elements with the Xeno series as well. World of Baten Kaitos is very similar to Alrest and there's even an orbital elevator in Soma Bringer at the end.

I loved Star Ocean 3

Attached: star ocean 3.jpg (935x600, 113.58K)

Oblivia is covered in mechon markings and contains the shoulder ring of Mechonis. Primordia is bionis iirc

There's dialogue hinting she might actually be a 60 year old man choosing that body

I wouldn't be surprised if the Ghosts turned out to actually be the ancient Samarian. Sort of similar to how the Gnosis originally looked like alien invaders, but they were actually humans who rejected the world. That, and Elma is basically an ayyy lmao version of Kosmos. There's quite a lot of Xenosaga parallels in X, now that I think about it.
I wish I had the direct line, but it's been awhile since I've played the game. I just remember either Lin, or someone saying that they don't think the Earth got destroyed at all.

Skell insurance and needing to ration fuel nearly ruined the game for me.
I barely ever took skells out because I was terrified of having them destroyed and having to pay for a new one.

Attached: 1472854019234.png (1040x1225, 1.32M)

When the skells are destroyed you get a very easy QTE to avoid it being destroyed, won't even waste insurance

Well the main artist for Xenoblade X worked on Xenoblade 2 (and Xenogears as well as Xenosaga) and the remake of Xenoblade 1 is using his art style

In terms of the setting I think it's the closest to Xenosaga.

>Fuel
I felt like Fuel hardly played any role at all. I had tons of reserve fuel left to dick around with. Then again, I didn't spend all of my time flying around when I unlocked the ability to.
>Insurance
Isn't there a QTE you can do to prevent your Skell from getting fucked?
>XB1D is using Tanaka's style
It honestly looks different from how Tanaka designed Shulk, and Fiora in XB2.

>We never see it explode, or anything.
I'm pretty sure they showed it

There is, after all, an outright explicit example of an old man in a young mimeosome body, too. And Yardley can alter your mimeosome, too, so being "identical" is not a required note for your consciousness. Pick whatever body you like.

They're getting good at making consciousnesses, too...

Attached: Eleonora.jpg (150x150, 5.94K)

The QTE itself is easy. But when it pops up is the problem. Since it appears when your skell reaches 0 health. The problem, at least for me, was that you may not be paying super close attention when your health reaches 0 and mess up the QTE because you were trying to do something else and it popped up right in the middle of your inputs.

They're slightly different but the remake is finished yet

you really want to be clear that the Flight Module is accessed later and at first you're stuck with just walking around in your Skell. It's deceptive to say that the skell opens up airborne regions.

So is the protag a J-Body?

Not him but the Wii U is fucking great once you crack it with Haxchi (or some other method) and fill it with emulators.

That was probably my main issue with the game, just let me use whoever I want. I realize there's a lot of characters that you get in a nonlinear fashion and you can go the XC route where everyone is present for all cutscenes. Even if you don't want the immersion-casuals who give a shit to cry, just give people some sort of elective mode where Elma and Lynn show up in cutscenes but you get to play with whoever.

It's the same with the mainline titles. You just have to level up, and come back later to whoop them. Usually with Skells.

Yes, that's half the fun.

Yes. There's a lot of progression. Even the main story ends about halfway up the power cap. And it's multi-layered: there's level progression and skell progression, and skells have several unlockable tiers.

You forgot cringy and/or dumb lyrics.

Yeah some enemies are meant to be fought with a skell.
Some enemies will only aggro you if you're in a skell or lose interest in you when you see you got a big ass robot.
Generally the type and the size of the monster matters more than the actual level. Big shit has much more hp and can still fuck you up even when they are levels behind you. Same way you can sometimes take out small stuff, even if you're underleveled.
Predators/herbivore also plays a role.

Get filtered, westernfag.

It's a shame the enemy aggro stuff didn't play as much of a role in XB2. In XB1, and XBX, you could Aggro enemies in quite a lot of ways. I don't think it's remotely the same in XB2.

His singers are also pretty shit. The only good one was Mika.

Yeah sometimes you're just minding your own business and some fucking Tyrant monkey or wolf comes rushing at you from nowhere and whoops your ass.

Fuck your Switch Definitive Edition, they are going to keep the censor in anyway, so what's the point?
I didn't buy it for these very reason, even when i was looking forward to it a long time, and i am glad that it failed.
Oh yeah, also fuck them for not providing dual audio when XC had it.

I wish I liked X more than I did
Having so many party members and not having them all gain bench EXP triggers my autism incredibly hard, too. I know levels aren't *that* important and it's more about gear, but it still bugs the shit out of me

You just literally download an older version

Cry more and louder.

I swear a lot of you overreact about the supposed censorship in the game. There were still plenty of lewd outfits, and to begin with, I don't think much got changed. You want to see real censorship? Try being a TMS fan, or even remotely playing the game.

You can't get gear without levels.
Post game you level pretty quickly though and you can't use most f them during the story anyway.

>Yeah some enemies are meant to be fought with a skell.
Skells aren't the strongest builds.

Wait, there is undub/uncensor version i can play with CEMU?

Yes, there is a pre patched version with uncensored and undubbed already in the Cemu format

I finished the entire game on Cemu you absolute fucking brainlet. It's possible without any real issues. The worst I've encountered were some fucked up particle effects in 2-3 cutscenes. And that weird tracking light you had had fucked up particle effects too but I never used it in the first place anyway. Don't have them game "installed" anymore but my old version of Cemu apparently still has the playtime data.

Exactly this. But unironically.

Keep crying, it won't make those literallywhos more successful and famous than Sawano, though.

I wonder why it's that short though, after posting this, because I distinctly remember the game being longer. Weird.

That's nice. But if i remember correctly the game had some kind of multiplayer, right? That probably doesn't exist in CEMU.
Does it have DLCs in CEMU?

Kajiura is more famous than Sawano though, and has been in the industry far longer.

>Yuki Kajiura

I played on the newest version and the only real bug I had was white squares appearing all over the screen ONLY if you turn on Elma's true form in the settings after you beat the game.

You can activate most online functions on Cemu using graphic packs mods
And yes the DLCs work
