Louisgod posted:Shame Xenoblade 2 has turned into a loving generic predictable anime shitfest instead of the pioneer the first game was. The thing that made the original such a standout was how it broke traditional JRPG tropes (inns, saves, battles, you name it) but also offered a cast that was incredibly likable and a story that had really cool "WHAT THE gently caress" moments. The anime tropes that were in it were overshadowed by what the game got right. Xenoblade 1 was anime as gently caress sorry. Plus TOB has a great plot.

But Rocks Hurt Head posted: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. It's okay the British voices own. With the exception of when Rex yells, that needed a retake

Internet Kraken posted:No its pretty bad. Like, even if you think all the voice acting is perfectly fine, lines being repeated extremely frequently is obviously a problem. Also none of lines sync up with the actual models mouths which creates a huge disconnect. Oh I don't care about any of that. Because it isn't very important

Internet Kraken posted:Well a lot of people would disagree with you on that. Regardless, those are all parts of what could actually be considered a good dub. So even if it doesn't bother you saying the game has a good dub is pretty silly. A lot of people believe the earth is flat, you can believe what you want. Doesn't mean I have to take it seriously.

mabels big day posted:Hey about how far into chapter 4 should I expect to get a new party member. I want to use these cores but I don't want to use them until I have another driver in my party Soon from what I understand and yeah you want to save up the crystals because the new one starts with only one blade putting then at a massive disadvantage

Which Salvagepoint is the one with the spawn that is a guarantee rare and common crystal? I would like to get more unique blades but I don't have a lot of cores so might as well grind a bit

Zore posted:The salvage point right near where you first arrive in Mors Ardain has a high chance of pulling up Krabbles which always drop common cores and a rare drop of rare cores. You get guaranteed rare cores if you overkill them with a chain attack. Aren't chain attacks the one you use the plus button to proc? When do you use them? I assumed after the three chain combo but that doesn't seem to work.

8-bit Miniboss posted:Go to Upper Level > Ruined Laborers’ Bridge in Skip Travel. Once there, head up to the nearby stairs and that top of them, there’s a collection point that is a guaranteed drop (for me it was at least). Repeat by skip traveling back to the Ruined Laborers’ Bridge until you have what you need. Yeah I did that and the drop happened every time, thanks

SloppyDoughnuts posted:I asked the same thing like 80 times. Gotta go to the Gates of Ulcaria skip travel spot. There will be a place nearby you can use ice mastery to make a bridge to another island that if you climb all the way to the top you get a secret location and the Airborne Throne skip travel spot. On that island is an ice ramp that if you slide down will launch you to the island with the quest (It's quest is to go to Airborne Throne). You have to jump midway tho or you will fall short.

Taear posted:A pretty convincing post on Reddit (or gamefaqs maybe) said that rare cores don't increase your chance of getting a rare blade. They just increase the amount of crowns a standard blade would get. This definitely fits with my experience where a rare core has never, ever given me a rare blade. But they're getting me ones with more crowns than a normal one each time. I have only gotten rare blades from rare cores. I stopped bothering with common cores.

People don't complain about XB1 being anime because they like it and desperately dont want it to be that. Because people in the games forum have really weird hang ups about anime.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:And you have this really weird hangup of never actually discussing any of the complaints people have about the game and instead just try to insult the posters themselves both here and in the JRPG thread. Before it was the idea that feature bloat was just a codeword for things I don't like, now anime is a codeword for things I don't like Both true statements yes. Which was weird for the bloat complaint as you can just say you don't like a mechanic rather than using a phrase incorrectly. Hell most his complaints about anime stories could just as easily be used to describe western stories as well. XB2 is a generic story but nothing particularly anime (whatever that means)about it CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Jan 3, 2018 |
