Same, but I haven't finished playing JC2 and copies of JC3 aren't going anywhere for two months meanwhile this is a loving niche game under Nintendo's name, so now is the best time probably.

I'm not sure what item it was, but there were items in Bionis' interior and Prison Island that were rare drops that you couldn't trade for, and you had to collect five of them. I'm not against going out and collecting like most MMOs, but please don't leave it up to some really bad RNG.

Yeah Fossil Monkey was one of those, to the extent there was a good chance there wasn't a single one on an instance of a map

Anyway, hopefully the implementation won't be quite so frustrating this time, or at the very least they're not gating significant amounts of content

I can't believe Xenoblade Chronicles X comes out on Friday. Feels like I've been waiting for it for ages.

Just remember that the first teaser for this game that we didn't even know the name of was published on Jan 23, 2013. That's almost three years ago.

Every release this year has been absolute poo poo other than Xenoblade.

the year before it you just had Bayonetta 2 and Smash brothers that rose above not poo poo, but both games were over within hours

first year of the wii-u was garbage or filled with nothing.

As I understand it, the story missions have required party members and level restrictions, so she's gonna have to come along sometimes, unfortunately.

Regardless of whether or not I liked the show (I'm lookin' at you Guilty Crown), all the animes where I've consciously thought to myself that I really like this soundtrack somehow all ended up being Sawano's works. So It's almost a foregone conclusion that I'll like Xenoblade X's music.

She is your party's tank, so the little girl is the one taking the giant crab claws to the face.

Anyone know if they still have that super heavy accuracy scaling when you are a few levels above/below an enemy?

Also in terms of classes, anyone seen if one of them has Melia's dropkick? :v:

Louisgod posted:

Here's the problem with the soundtrack: It's repetitive, formulaic, and often doesn't mesh with the environment. In contrast, XB's soundtrack was organic, varied and complimentary to both the environments and situations, proving that poo poo-rear end buttrock with blazing guitars could pump you the gently caress up if used properly, or that a slow melodic piano somehow seems part of a snowy mountain that grows impossible to find cabbage on random ridges.

Sawano's music isn't necessarily bad but it would've been better if he were featured as a guest musician along with those that made tracks for XBC. The Iwata Asks with the musicians gives fantastic insight into how much a labor of love the soundtrack was and how varied each musician is. Sawano has a type and doesn't really deviate outside of it.

:agreed: on all points

I also don't like generic anime buttrock so the music in this game was never going to be my thing since that's pretty much all it is. Luckily the music doesn't necessarily make or break a game, just can make it better. FFT is one of my favorite RPG's of all time even though I find the soundtrack to be boring and repetitive. It would be nice if a game had it all thoooo

Don't know how it works, but I don't think it could possibly be that way again, since I hear your level is capped at 60 while enemies go much higher.

If it makes you feel any better Just Cause is looking like a total mess performance wise, so maybe best to steer clear of that til it gets fixed.

I still haven't listened to any of the music from this game. I'd prefer to hear it for the first time while playing the game, to decide whether I like it or not.

Not going to be able to play it until next Wednesday, either way. :( Why did I gotta go out of town over release day?

This is actually a pretty good track (there definitely are a few stand-out pieces) but again, his arrangements are predictable and his schtick of building up "epic" hymns by splicing them to fit the chorus gets old. Still think he'd have been a great guest musician.

You're not going to be hearing any of the music all that much over the screams of agony. VA's did top notch work on game over sounds.
