a glitch posted:Any word on how long the game will be? I put about 100 hours into the first game and kinda burned out just before the ending. Xenoblade Chronicles had an average playtime of about 75 hours from just doing plot advancement, with about double that if you went insane and did all the sidequests. XCX was a bit of a trainwreck with its plot, but had about 150 hours of general content. So there's your ballpark.

Momomo posted:I really have no idea how accurate these accents are (I''m assuming they're authentic) but it was kinda hard to parse a lot of those lines for me. Hopefully it'll be better in the game proper. Pretty accurate, given they're the natural accents of the VA's  .It's a rather nice callback to Nintendo EU using British actors because Nintendo US didn't want to localize Xenoblade Chronicles.

Once the Vita finally dies in Japan (let alone being already dead and buried everywhere else), the Switch is the best option to develop for for all the little studios that can't afford the obscene budget for 1080p/4K graphics.

I don't really like supporting this kind of marketing but if I'm gonna pay it anyway, might as well get the freebies for my playthrough Given a lot of the XCX sidequests were really good, I wouldn't use the original Xenoblade's as a basis.

Tender Bender posted:The IGN review reminded me that heart to hearts exist, any indication that those are less insane to unlock? In Xenoblade Chronicles I never came across one that I was able to use at the time, and backtracking to find them after building affinity was a pain because the game didn't adequately track/label them. They were a lot less tedious to grind in XCX. Waltzing Along posted:Another thing I saw in one of the reviews is most of the blades are random and there really isn't any way to get them all. There's a set of randomly-generated "common" ones, the Rare ones are from a pool of 30 (the ones they've been showing off) and are drawn from their own separate Core Crystal so you're not stuck smashing away at that button hoping this diceroll will be one of the cool fancy ones.

8-bit Miniboss posted:That virtually happened to me as well. First rare core, gacha'd into a common. Same happened to me too. I gatcha'd Godfrey out of a common one though, at least. cathead posted:Poor Rex, can't even get a rare blade from a rare core. Meanwhile Nia has two, one of which she got from a common core! Breaking and Toppling aren't spoilers, they've been Xenoblade staples since the original game. It's very easy and forgiving to Art Cancel, you can set it off even just after Rex has smacked his sword into an enemy. What you're looking for, if you're not sure what the third hit of his auto-attack combo is, it's when he thrusts the sword forward instead of slashing with it. As for elemental sequences, you need to be aware that as well as dealing massive damage (and Sealing something) with the third tier it will also give the boss an immunity to that third-tier element. You'll want a second Blade you can switch off to afterwards, preferably one that can take part in a different three-tier elemental sequence.

cathead posted:Just figured I'd do it in case there were goons going in blind who wanted to find out about the later combat system stuff on their own. I fully get where you're coming from. Breaking and Toppling has been a thing since the very first hour of gameplay in the original Xenoblade. And one that you needed to master (rather than, say, being super-pro-strat combo'ing skillz) if you wanted to deal any decent damage at all to Mechon enemies.

Raxivace posted:Do you not get EXP and such from discovering areas any more? Non-Combat XP (Quest rewards, etc) works like in FFXV; Go stay at an Inn and you'll get the option to spend earned XP to level up. Combat XP is still instantaneous, so if you ding a level after a fight that'll just go up immediately.

mabels big day posted:"Hey pyra why can you make fire even when everyone is doused in water?" Did you miss the part where she adds Her flame abilities aren't derived from fire? Also (from the second Titan visited) Vandham is a fuckin' Top Bloke and my favourite character so far . I don't know if it was because the casted dub VA for the character's was aussie or it written in the script first, but I love that all his dialogue is top dinky-di aussie slang instead of just having the accent alone.

Slime posted:That's just how welsh people sound. As someone who's used to it, she sounds fine to me. My only complaint is they've overlaid a calmer personality onto what's clearly a more brash and over-acting character in japanese that doesn't quite mesh right in some scenes, but for 95% of the time her english dub version is great.

Tae posted:That's my main problem. The voice direction reeks of blind recording, and they were given lines but not given much context (or the wrong context). I'd definitely agree with that. Most of the dub is rock-solid, but there's a few scenes where people really needed better direction for screaming or just being more aggressive.

Calaveron posted:What’s a driver combo That AI's generally pretty decent about pulling their Special Artes, you just need to give them time to actually build theirs up. And make sure you have elements that people can step through to get there. Hoping (or Overdriving) a fire-type Blade onto Nia's a good move, as you can three-stack fire between her and Rex, or just have better variety in starting from Earth with Tora.

Game narration is tied to e.g. traveling, collection, post-battle, etc. So what is Battle narration? Battle Naration is Gramps saying things like "Topple Burn!"

Lord Ephraim posted:One thing I really hate about the game is if you get a really good blade but it's on the wrong character. Rex could really use a good tank but he got Dagas as his first rare (axe attacker) while Nia got Electra (lightning tank). I want them to swap blades but apparently Overdrives are the rarest item in the game. You can get a one-use item in treasure chests called an Overdrive that lets you swap Drivers for a Blade. bizarre deformity posted:When I do QTE's, am I aiming for the outer circle or the inner one? It isn't very clear. Neither. You're aiming for the brighter section.

Pierson posted:That op post is super-good and really cleared up how the combat works in theory but how about during gameplay? Most of the videos I've seen are memes about the endless battle cacophonies like this one which do kind of paint it as a bit of a confusing mess. Does it all kind of flow together well once you get used to it? The combat flows just fine, especially if you've played XBC. The maps are very large and expansive, and the cool things like Heart-to-Hearts don't require affection/trust levels at all (at least as far as I can tell). Just go activate them whenever you spot one.
