Why
>majority of content is only available online
Why
Does it run well in CEMU? Can you play the online content in CEMU?
No
>Majority
More like 2%
you can emulate having the online content enabled.
cause its a fucking shit game, that's why
>Majority
What?
>majority
Weird way to start an XCX thread. There actually are a decent amount of hidden things in the online quests like a rematch vs the Vasara in Cauldros but most people never found them because they’re hidden behind other online quests.
Is 2 less complicated than X? There's just so much shit in X it's overwhelming.
wait what
I turned off the online notifications pretty early into the game, is he telling the truth
No. He probably hasn't even played the game.
It's less complicated, but still overcomplicated. They try to introduce things gradually but the tutorials suck and there's no real review option while X at least has an expansive manual.
That's not true
Runs at 60fps and you can enable online content via graphic packs (to an extent)

What the FUUUUUUUCK
I had to take a break from the game for a while to process everything, it's been a long time since the last time a game surprised me this much
There's over 300 unique missions regarding online play. Tons of achievements are online, and squad missions are pretty much required for grinding tickets. Plus, it's hella fun decking out your base and putting up display figures that you unlocked to other people you're playing with.
The content isn't anything amazing, but there was a lot of it. The developers wanted people to play online so badly that they punished you by adding the ugly "offline" in the corner all the time
There's so much content in XCX's base game that all of that is hardly a majority, yeah it's a lot to miss out on but the base game still has hundreds of hours of stuff to do.
w-what is this all about?
I cut the red
Sidequests have multiple endings in XCX, you can get a lot of NPCs killed if you don't know what you're doing.
Why do i need to do extra if i can just edit it out using hex editor lol
>Expansive manual
That shit sucks as well. Too much unnecessary crap in this series is why no cares about.
None of the online only missions are of any consequence at all you moron
>Best way to grind materials is online
Such a stupid idea when they made this game.
That "twist" hardly even matters on the global scale.
They might not be. But they're still fun and unique mini challenges that you will never get to experience ever again
heck of a time getting into this game.
I like the setting, the tone, and premise.
But good grief, this 'gameplay' is something else.
I struggle to say it's bad, it's just so abstract. Which might be another thing, if it seemed to matter. Instead I feel tightly reigned into a given level range, and the only particular method of progression is level grinding, where all encounters fall cleanly into realm of doing A single thing that trivializes basically any encounter.
Is there something I can do in the character building that say, affords seriously pushing leveled content, or is most of that realistically going to be post game when stacking gear augments is practical.
Isn't In the Forest only during that online superboss fight? Not top 5 songs on the soundtrack but I still enjoy it.
I think i stopped playing when you had to fight the cat people. I liked my time with it but I put like 200+ hours in XC2 and will probs at least finish XCDE when it comes out. All the censorship and translation really put me off too XCX. Would be nice if they did a rewrite and decensor of it but thats too much cash and time for such a niche game.
>All the censorship and translation really put me off too XCX
>I put like 200+ hours in XC2
What the fuck are you asking? Are you saying "How do I clear content without huge level advantages?"
Yes and?
Yas Forums definition of censorship is visual asset changes. Script changes in the localization process are a completely different subject. Put it to bed, I'm tired of seeing the same 300 post argument over dog mode Poppi over and fucking over again.
Ignorance or hypocrisy. Which is it?
You can basically kill everything from Chapter 5 with Elma using Overdrive. Level doesn't matter. Decoy (an ability the dual guns get) let you avoid practically all attacks except Spikes, stacking Potential makes your TP arts hit harder, attribute resistance reduces damage by a set %. Shop gear can trivialize Primordia because most of it has Physical/Beam resistance.
>Script changes in the localization process are a completely different subject.
And that different subject was explicitly brought up, you fucking idiot. Just because they didn't hide the hueg animu tiddies doesn't mean that the localization wasn't garbage. Hell, it's even worse than in X. And you can't fix it just by swapping some files.
I'm just going to wait for the inevitable Switch port
>inevitable
People were saying X would get ported as far back as the NX's reveal event. Shit, in the same breath most "insiders" """deconfirmed""" a Mario Kart port and """confirmed""" a Xenoblade X port.
FYI, the online multiplayer still works and there's a small amount of people still playing. This also applies to Smash, Splatoon, Mario Kart, etc.
The problem is that Miiverse shutdown so any in-game social features are gone like the gamepad chat. But the online multiplayer and sharing of other people's characters as hireable party members is still in tact.
looking at a FMJ over drive guide. are there similar setups for other classes, or is decoy / ghostwalker the only sort of thing that makes this possible?
Here's your inevitable switch port.
They're gonna release it after Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition gets released
Just look how many games have abandoned the Wii U hellhole
If they bring the game to the Switch, it'll be the censored version, only just like with #FE, Japan will get to experience the censorship too, because Nintendo (not just NoA) is too prideful to ever openly admit a mistake.
2's less complicated but more difficult.
Most classes have ways of staying alive (like reflect auras on other melee weapons; you only need to prepare for the elements that the enemy you're fighting has). Ghostwalker is by far the most well known and popular though.
or they'll make it Switch Pro exclusive like how XBC is New 3DS exclusive because the old version had such a shitty CPU.
alright, thanks. Should I be looking for, and hanging on to armors with innate + _element_ res augments, and swapping around if necessary? Or is there another way of stacking respective def?
I'm finding out this game is pretty soft of failure, so resetting/gearing for the encounter to give it another go is generally pretty reasonable
Most armors have innate resistance based on manufacturer + type so look for that first. You can move augments around as needed so you might as well make a few of each element type too.
I did not Sakuraba/Granada stuff is pretty well weighted physical/bashing, so that has worked out OK.
>You can move augments around as needed
This may change everything. Where do I go to make this happen? I might have missed that in one of the hundreds of 'single page non-interactive tutorial to explain a game feature' the game liked to throw at me in the first couple hours.
Equipment have innate augments but also augments you can put into empty slots. The latter is what I meant. IIRC you hit X on a piece of gear and that lets you add/remove augments.
Ah! I thought the mods were consumeable, and DESU, gear feeling disposable like level-locked MMO was really discouraging, but this makes me feel a lot better about those gear mods as mission rewards.
Thanks a bunch, mate
All good. The game has a lot of shit going on and it doesn't explain most of it nearly as well as it should.
Do I need to download anything other than the basic homebrew launcher to play Gamecube ISOs on my WiiU?
>no boob slider
>no fundoshi
>lin wears more underwear
>but every other piece of skimpy armor is kept intact
>boob slider can be worked around even in the western version via savefile editing or XCGecko
It's really not that bad. Chances are they'd add more stuff (including armor (including SKIMPY armor)) than was even changed in the first place.
>It's really not that bad.
Fuck this sentiment raw. Apologists like these let localizers go wild. The reason Nintendo calmed down after 2016 was solely because people were loud and bitched a lot.
The bust slider bullshit
I want to fuck Lin in her Koo
>game that feels like a discount mmo when it's suppose to be a single player jrpg
>story is pure shit
>repeated endings of ooooo going to put you in a pot!
>nooooo! >wlaugh track
The game is pure shit. Music is decent, but the story is pure ass, and the feel of the game was shot on arrival, trying to enforce all this online shit in a single player JRPG.
UH
Post YFW >OVERDRIVE
I actually knew to send the guy south on my first try because of familiarity with the map. Made me feel like a pro until I didn’t recognize that the big birds are auravis’ and got the kitties killed with bad advice.
I don't understand how to use it
The non lyrics version plays in the opening cutscene.
