I feel like this game is telegraphing its twists in such an obvious manner that they can't even be considered spoilers Also I like the conceit about people from different Titans having wildly different accents since they're meant to be different countries. Is it like this in the Japanese version too

8-Bit Scholar posted:Honestly if they announced a DLC pack that added 20 new unique blades to the game, I'd probably buy it. I finally got my second unique blade and for Rex, so I feel a bit better. I dig how much dialogue the unique blades have -- I got Boreas on Nia and it's hilarious. According to the store page, one of the dlc packs is exactly that. It's scheduled for May (Wtf?) with a story pack in October? Are those dates just placeholders or what

I'm just now leaving on the first mission and I am wondering about the DLC item pack. Do the items go straight into your inventory? Will I benefit from them now, or should I just wait until I get to the next town? I guess I'm wondering if I will miss out if I wait a little bit before buying it.

Totally not digging the pile of backtracking fetch quests. The Concerned Carpenter: "Hey, thanks for saving me from getting gangbanged by some gorillas, but can you fetch a stack of this ivy from farm nodes?" "Thanks for the Ivy, I'll go back to town now but the quest isn't over, suck my dick!" "Thanks for saving my dumbass kid but I need this rare rear end wood, so get hopping, bitch" "Hey you want this rare rear end wood? Well how about way more money than you have or you can go farm nodes some more, rear end in a top hat" "You farmed nodes? Sucker. Here's the wood, *snicker*" "Hey slave, you brought the rare wood, here's some BS reward that totally wasn't worth your time, bye."

I started the game in with the Japanese voice pack but I just can't stand missing out on the during/after combat banter, which was one of the best parts of XC1, and it's not subbed. Onward to the extremely British voices, I guess.

I've watched the GameXplain video like three times and have played the game for about 10 hours and I still don't think I understand the combat. I get the art cancelling on the third hit stuff, I get that it charges my driver special. That's when it kind of falls apart, I'm doing driver combos and blade combos since I see things being unlocked on blade trees for those "do x combo" requirements, but I feel like I'm just kind of pushing buttons. If someone could answer/explain my next question, I think I might be able to piece how this stuff works. So when Tora's indicator comes up that says "Stone", do I want to use that first or use my own special first? I can't actually find "Stone" anywhere on the character sheets, is Stone the combo itself? GameXplain says that in order to do combos the following special has to be a level higher than the last, how am I supposed to know what level Stone is if I use that first? Also the little grid that pops up is confusing as well. I get that it's an element grid or whatever, I just can't make any logical sense of the layout.

My first Rare crystal got me some 2-crown cat healer. My second got me a creepy steampunk doll blade called Azami. She's some sort of low-hp booster, seems pretty cool.

That's when it kind of falls apart, I'm doing driver combos and blade combos since I see things being unlocked on blade trees for those "do x combo" requirements, but I feel like I'm just kind of pushing buttons. “Stone” is the initial special move for Poppi's default element, Earth. It doesn't actually matter what level Poppi is charged to—if she's charged to level 4, she’ll do the level 4 Earth super-move, but for the purposes of blade combos when no one else has used one yet, this still counts as using Stone. The little tree that appears afterward shows you that you can combo off of it with a level 2 or higher special of the fire or earth elements. If anyone in the party has that element, you'll see a little colored box either on the sides or bottom of the screen with their portrait and the name of the follow-up special they can do. (The sides are for your companions and the bottom is for your lead character. The companions will automatically switch blades if one of their alternate blades has the appropriate element, but the lead won’t switch unless you do it manually.) Once you or your companions charge their special to level 2, a button prompt will appear in this box (ZL/ZR for companions, A for your lead), and if you hit it, they’ll do the combo move. Then the process repeats, except now you have to reach at least level 3 to do the next move in the sequence. Zoran fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Dec 2, 2017 |

Okay, so it's not AS complex as it seems. Basically, blades all have elements -- Tora is earth by default. Pyra is fire. Elements have different formulas that combine into each other -- fire + earth + wind is one you can get early one. To build those combos, you need to hit the enemy with your special move (the A-button attack) when it is of a higher value than the preceding attack. So Tora uses Stone, a level 1 earth attack. You have a brief window after he uses that move to build your special meter to level 2 (you'll see the Roman numeral for 2 in that spot). Use a level 2 fire attack continues the combo, and now you need a level 3 wind attack. You'll see an icon from Nia that indicates she can use an attack. She'll build her meter, and since you didn't have her use her special earlier, she'll probably reach level 3 and then you'll get a prompt to press her trigger button. This will trigger a cutscene special attack -- three successive blade arts results in a blade combo, which is really awesome. A driver combo is using the Break, Topple, Launch and Smash effects, and the game will actually do a guided tutorial for you on that later on.

I know it shows the blade combos while you're attempting one but is there anywhere out of game that lists what elements chain into each other and what Seals they cause, or some rubric by which to remember them

Kinda bummed that while the environments are as cool as the original, the music is not. It's just generic anime butt rock. Had they put a track like this during that "top 10" anime battle at the end of chapter 1 I would have had to change my underwear. Instead it was just generic anime grunting and edgy butt rock. (Actually I played that over top of a youtube video of that cutscene, starting it within a few seconds of just before Pyra busts out of the tube, and the whole thing actually matches up eerily well to what's going on on screen. I might weeb out and make an AMV out of it to show what it could have been or something.) It's not even the most remembered, or beloved song from that game, it's not the one they use as an homage in other games (they use the Guar Plain theme -- which I understand, since that one is great, they even try to emulate it in XB2 in the Gormott area, and the regular battle music as being the most memorable). But that song is so anime in a good way and it actually made the JRPG anime stuff better for it. They sort of start it up as theyre leading into the battle, during the cutscenes, and it adds a lot of drama. I have a lot of thoughts on these games, I could sperg forever. Also I just killed some random dude in a town? He was looking at the wanted posters in that town in Gormott. He didnt have any dialogue or anything, and I was able to just walk up to him and murder him, and nobody really cared? What's up with that?

I'm about an hour and a half into the game so far (probably meeting Pyra soon I imagine) and I'm enjoying it a lot. Rex seems like a pretty good guy, and I can get behind him just wanting to make some good money while also maybe finding a solution to that whole "everyone's gonna loving drown eventually" problem this world has. The voices are also good too, just like the original Xenoblade. The way people billed it I was pretty worried about this stuff, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised.

abraxas posted:Is anyone else having issues with Rex not running at full speed when pressing straight up? I'm playing this on a pro controller and I haven't had any problems with it in either BotW, Mario Odyssey, Mario & Rabbids or really anything else I've played. For some reason when I just press straight up on my left analog stick Rex walks slower than when I just press even a little diagonally to the side. I'm having this problem too with my pro controller and recalibrating hasn't fixed it. Anyone else? It doesn't happen 100% of the time but occasionally - at first i thought the game was just making me go slower for a moment to hide that it was loading stuff.
