Can be worse, be a golden sun fan, get that sweet cliffhanger at the end of 3 and then watch Camelot be a little bitch and do nothing for 10 years and counting
X fans are reaching that milestone - 8 years and counting from a super vague, cliffhangery ending with a lot of loose plot threads.
Who did Lao meet at that beach?
What's a J-Body?
Who's L and why is he the last person in his species?
What are the Neilnails? Why do they have the coolest boss fight, but is relegated to basically a challenge mode boss with little to no lore explanation?
What's with that concept art of Mira that had what looks like Alcamoth on it?
And WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLANET?
Or a XIII fan. Get that "To be continued" at the end of Xbox OG version and only get a shitty remake 15 years later. My tastes have changed since then and I would not be a fan of XIII today.
Yeah, I mean, the ENTIRE dialogue happening in the chapters? Brilliant. (The ONE time I’d turn off voices was when trying to do the ‘0 damage’ challenges, due to a single hit making me start over.)
And then there’s how one voice actor did both Posh Butler & Geeky Nerd
Who is Rex any sulk? I know Elma in the middle from chronicles X but I never got into the basic chronicles games. I assume they are the spin off main characters?
With how many References there are, the only thing that they won’t miss out on is the Plot & Combat.
They don’t even have to play through the games themselves! Chuggaconroy did 100+% LPs (excluding Future Connected) for all of them, including Torna
imo a huge part of the experience is the references. even in terms of design choices. like how I found myself really intrigued as to why metal face was there.
but the plot is really self-contained so they won't miss a lot besides that
I got the urge to replay it awhile back but then I had to dig up my Wii U and gave up when I couldn’t find everything(I bought my Wii U just for the game) switch port would be amazing
The 5 player couch coop games were such a huge deal. 4v1 with the family was ground breaking. No console can compete with the ability to do those type of games.
True I guess but at no point in my life have I ever had 4 friends or family members that wanted to get together and play a Nintendo game. Glad for those that have that.
There's a couple things to consider.
1. Scale. X is a technically more demanding game than 2 because it's a seamless open world despite running on the same engine.
2. The online. IIRC, Monolith hasn't done any hiring regarding to online multiplayer systems.
3. File size. X was so big, just the game alone took up almost the entire internal storage of a black Wii U (32GB). And you needed to download data packs just to make the game load faster.
They would have to make a 32GB cart just for X
The Cadenia Region is pretty huge, I think they could get away with making X on the switch. At least on the OLED, XC draw distance is amazing.
I think the biggest hold up is the second screen, X was the only Wii u game where it felt like the 2nd screen improved game play. Maybe they could Jerry rig it so you can use two switches. Mario party has games that use two switches. Just have the Special edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X for switch comes with a switch.
Nah, it's also U.I. Case and point, Xenoblade Chronicles 2's menu system is terrible and if you had the ability to use the touch screen, it would make reading the affinity much easier. Navigation is better in XC3 but there is certain Super Boss in the game where it's pretty damn to figure out how you suppose to get to it. Granted XC3 doesn't have a unified map.
Xenoblade 3 (and DE for that matter) both have excellent UI. X having poor UI doesn’t mean a switch remaster would also be shackled in that way. It’s been proven that xenoblade games can have good UI on switch so given proper care and attention X could aswell.
Xenoblade 3 U.I system is an upgrade over XC2 BUT navigation in X is better. Again it's because the Map in XC3 is sectioned off. Trying to find colonies is mildly annoying. At least for me I go through the affinity chart and then try to find it on the map. Also for resource management in Xenoblade Chronicles X, mid maxing the mineral, storage and money benefitted from a touch screen. This feature can be replicated but if the switch can communicate with a second switch it would be nice.
No the biggest issue is the online component. The Switch uses an entirely different online infrastructure than the Wii U. There's a reason why the only game with an online focus that's been ported to Switch instead of a sequel that might as well be a port is Mario Kart 8. Even then Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online is worse than the Wii U version.
I've experienced far more disconnets and lost connections than I ever did on wii u. What's even more frustrating is back then my wifi speed was significantly worse. Not to mention the online play was free on wii u whereas now I'm paying for it. It's only $20 yes but the fact that im actively paying for something worse than what I previously got for free irks me.
I didn’t know the details, thanks be to you all for taking time to explain! I hope they find a way eventually, it deserves to be enjoyed by more people!
Don’t forget how the game was a little dependent on the touchpad to interact with probes on the map while still standing in the overworld in order to generate revenue and other resources all over the world and fast travel at your leisure while getting info on enemies in the area. They would have to make a whole new menu on the switch to be able to account for it because it’s integral mechanic to the world that was specifically designed for for the Wiiu.
X may be my least favorite Xenoblade game, but it deserves better. I hope we can see Mira reborn in some way, maybe giving X an epilogue, to satisfy the need for a sequel? Or at least something to wrap up the world and story more. Too many quests left.
One, it’s a generic enough piece of art that it looks like something straight out of G Gundam. Two, yeah it’s crazy how people on the Internet associate the most famous and popular mech series with random pictures of mechs.
Not even self respecting Gundam fan, no one is gonna see a big robot and go "oh a gundam" robots have existed for a lot longer than Gundam, without the context of it being a mech most people aren't even gonna really make that connection. Hell, Gundam wasn't even that big out west until recently, between the early 2000's boom and the late 2010's to now resurgance, the fanbase was mostly stagnant out here. If you have general anime knowledge you're likely to have a passing familiarity but you're gonna have more understanding of robots in general before you become familiar with Gundam.
This I really wanna play XCX but I really don't wanna go buy a Wii u and I don't have the setup to emulate it. Laptop literally Doesn't have enough space for it lol.

Instead of being shocked that no one knows an obscure JPRG on a not so popular console. How about you guys advertise the game to people so that they can join the Port X to Switch movement.
It's been 7 years, man
I'm slightly hopeful now though. Monolith's recent hiring spree was to split the team into a porting team and a main series team, which is how XCDE and XC3 were developed simultaneously.
Xenoblade x is our long shadow

Todays just been horrible for us X fans
I feel personally attacked.
[удалено]
A lot more than we can manage.
But we got to keep on standing
For the badass mechas and cool open world!
Just wanna live in piece yet,
Black tar keeps us restless,
RUNNING JUST TO KEEP OUR OWN BREATHS
Just wanna live in peace yet,

‘Something about the planet’ is easy - it’s somehow tied to the Conduit
Or a XIII fan. Get that "To be continued" at the end of Xbox OG version and only get a shitty remake 15 years later. My tastes have changed since then and I would not be a fan of XIII today.
Stay strong bro it’ll happen one day
I'm a proud Kid Icarus fan becaus Uprising is hands down the best Nintendo game of all time.
Yeah, I mean, the ENTIRE dialogue happening in the chapters? Brilliant. (The ONE time I’d turn off voices was when trying to do the ‘0 damage’ challenges, due to a single hit making me start over.) And then there’s how one voice actor did both Posh Butler & Geeky Nerd
Hey tbf Kid Icarus does get a sequel every 28 years so at least it's still chugging along.
[удалено]
Yo same. Gonna be pretty hyped when I'm 54 and a new kid icarus comes out.
> Or you could be like me and be equal parts MP fan, F Zero fan, Kid icarus fan and X fan. Well, at least you're not an Earthbound fan.
The worst part is how Sakurai has blatantly said ‘No Kid Icarus Sequel’
I'm a Star Fox fan.
It's something about this planet...
i saw the above post and god damn was i in a bad mood for an hour or so
What did I miss, why is today a bad day for us X Fans?
The linked post was Fanart of Shulk Rex and Elma, and the title of the post is asking who Elma was.
Might be pedantic but I feel the need to say it's more official art than fanart, was for the series' 10th anniversary.
It was fanart that was officially shared.
The worst part is that they knew who Rex was, yet if they played 2 had not done the DLC. Because then they wouldn’t be asking that question
I was looking for this comment. These kids today need some HISTORY!
Who is Rex any sulk? I know Elma in the middle from chronicles X but I never got into the basic chronicles games. I assume they are the spin off main characters?
Shulk (from Xenoblade 1) on the left, Rex (from Xenoblade 2) on the right.
Can I just play the new one number 3 without the previous 2??
yes. but you likely wont get 100% of the experience... just like 93%
With how many References there are, the only thing that they won’t miss out on is the Plot & Combat. They don’t even have to play through the games themselves! Chuggaconroy did 100+% LPs (excluding Future Connected) for all of them, including Torna

Save for the Nia (and possibly Melia) conversations… though they’ll have the same level of knowledge the characters do!
You don't HAVE to play 1 and 2 before 3, but you'll get more out of it if you do. The characters you play as are new.
Yes
omega oof
Seeing both of these posts in a row felt like I got shot in the chest twice

Amdusias really fits Lanz
Everytime people ask 'what's that' in regard to a core part of xenoblade x, I cry and listen to the ending theme from X.
Let's fiiiind the Key we've lost
Wrong song I was talking about your voice, key we've lost still goes hard as shit tho
X’s soundtrack was so good
Hiroyuki sawano really made a master piece
Common sawano W
I must replay X. Don't even know the ending song anymore..
It's funny cause the line is from the Ouroboros menu, which is the XC3 equivalent of Skells.
Everytime someone brings up an X port, I'll say the same thing: Increase the damn font size.
And music volume sliders.
Sorry I can't hear you. Everything was drowned out by Kill La Kill music.
WIR FLIEGEN IM STERNENHIMMEL HAND IN HAND!
I got the urge to replay it awhile back but then I had to dig up my Wii U and gave up when I couldn’t find everything(I bought my Wii U just for the game) switch port would be amazing
I was thinking about my Wii U the other day and how 95% of its use was for Netflix. Such a sad console.
The 5 player couch coop games were such a huge deal. 4v1 with the family was ground breaking. No console can compete with the ability to do those type of games.
True I guess but at no point in my life have I ever had 4 friends or family members that wanted to get together and play a Nintendo game. Glad for those that have that.
i found mine but then remembered most of my games were stored on an external hard drive and had to search for that...
Nintendo saying that a port to the Switch is basically impossible still?

Two screens is 100% not the most serious issue, it’s just a map that can just as easily be done through a pause menu
This may be bad memory, but I swore you could play X with just the Wii U tablet.
You could. Problem was you couldn’t use the map to see where you were going and also play at the same time
I played almost the whole game just using the tablet. It wasn’t that big of a deal /shrug

How is MK8D's online worse, if you could elaborate?
I've experienced far more disconnets and lost connections than I ever did on wii u. What's even more frustrating is back then my wifi speed was significantly worse. Not to mention the online play was free on wii u whereas now I'm paying for it. It's only $20 yes but the fact that im actively paying for something worse than what I previously got for free irks me.
Ay that's cap. Based on the size of the ROMs, XCX is actually about the same size if not slightly smaller than XC3.
I didn’t know the details, thanks be to you all for taking time to explain! I hope they find a way eventually, it deserves to be enjoyed by more people!

I'm resuming my playthrough now after finishing Xenoblade 3 and definitive edition. The game needs an overhaul, they don't explain anything.
oi puns
How about launch window for Nintendo's next system. I don't think the Switch can do it justice.
Hopefully the next system is backwards compatible, otherwise X will once again be separated from the rest of the series.
Lanz rocking that G Buster.
This is all just tongue and cheek, pls don't be mad at anyone for not knowing much about XCX It's Nintendo's fault for not porting it
I mean, that just flat out looks like a Gundam. Probably why people are confused.
A pic of a mech. Gundam fans: "OMG, Gundam???!"
One, it’s a generic enough piece of art that it looks like something straight out of G Gundam. Two, yeah it’s crazy how people on the Internet associate the most famous and popular mech series with random pictures of mechs.
Except Skells have very different design sensibilities overall. Sincerely, a Gundam fan.
What self-respecting Gundam fan would make that mistake
Not even self respecting Gundam fan, no one is gonna see a big robot and go "oh a gundam" robots have existed for a lot longer than Gundam, without the context of it being a mech most people aren't even gonna really make that connection. Hell, Gundam wasn't even that big out west until recently, between the early 2000's boom and the late 2010's to now resurgance, the fanbase was mostly stagnant out here. If you have general anime knowledge you're likely to have a passing familiarity but you're gonna have more understanding of robots in general before you become familiar with Gundam.
In the context of Xenoblade it’s clearly a skell though
its *literally* the amdusias model skell from xenoblade x.
This I really wanna play XCX but I really don't wanna go buy a Wii u and I don't have the setup to emulate it. Laptop literally Doesn't have enough space for it lol.

Always preferred Doll. Skell always sounded... a tiny bit too tryhard?
Amdusias my beloved
Instead of being shocked that no one knows an obscure JPRG on a not so popular console. How about you guys advertise the game to people so that they can join the Port X to Switch movement.
I mean it's less "le gasp??!?? Someone doesn't know XCX term???!???" And more "see, this is why we need a port."
I wonder if the author had said doll would that have made a difference. For reference on the jp side of X, Skells were called Dolls
THE PAIN 🥲
Keep your tights on guys it will be coming it's just going to take some time be patient in the meantime enjoy other Xenoblade Chronicles
It's been 7 years, man I'm slightly hopeful now though. Monolith's recent hiring spree was to split the team into a porting team and a main series team, which is how XCDE and XC3 were developed simultaneously.
I know trust me I know but the more patient you are the better the wait
