I hate when they do this, why even have only one game on the cart and have to download the rest. They must realize not everyone has a 1TB SD card
I realize its for cost saving but still hate it. Oh well , I’ll still probably grab all 3 because I’m retarded like that.
Never played the original Xenoblade Chronicles does it have anything to do with the second game or is it a stand alone story?
Fun little video
In which year are we again?
I'm with you on that one. I enjoyed the battle system and thought certain aspects of it, namely the towns, looked gorgeous. But I disliked the story so much that it dragged the rest of the game down for me. It was the same issue I had with Octopath. If I hear great things about the story in BD2, it'll be a no brainer purchase for me. But until then, I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic about it.

Do it. Don’t hesitate. I thought it was amazing.
Will do brother
I can't recommend it enough. Like you said, there are obvious visual compromises, but the art style really carries it in the looks department and overall it's one of my favorite games this gen.
It is quite boring and I've played almost every JRPG in existence. I'd say the last 4 Tales games were better games. Yeah. Soundtrack is ok though.
Raises hand. It was way too bland and the music blew. Played it with the voices off as well. Ps4 version.
It seems you just don't enjoy traditional style JRPG like DQ and Octopath. I other hand enjoy both SMT/Persona style and more traditional style like DQ and Octopath/BD.
Nah I like traditional JRPGs. Most of my game library is basically that. Octopath started off fine but it relied too much on trying to appease to older JRPG fans without standing out itself. While DQ11 just looked...good? I just didn't expect to be playing 8 again but bigger. Oh wait both games were games I played without it being different enough for me to care about maybe?
Not sure what you meant by SMT being different gameplay wise when most of the mainline games play pretty much like turn based jrpgs. Man I would have loved playing XC2 with DQ11's gameplay. That game had it all for me outside a proper stable framerate and MMO like gameplay.
That's easy.
SMT/Persona are turn based RPG but their structure is very different than your traditional JRPG.
But Xenoblade combat system is part of the series same way press turn system is for SMT/Persona.
I never understood that complain, original Xenoblade was also very "anime" (its seems has become a bad thing for some reason), I think the difference is XC2 is much more over the top which I personally like about the game.
But that's wrong?
Arngrim is literally Guts. Wut.
Everything is a trope by now, but XC2 character's chemistry was what made me keep playing. Japanese animation is different (hell this game had like 13 different types easy) but if you want to get technical all of these games are "anime".
I wouldn't call it kiddy but I agree on the other points. Some of us like the old gameplay mechanics but still want idk a different kind of story. I mean I enjoyed Death End (a compile hearts aka shit company game) way more for its VN and edgy trash over this. Even the soundtrack was better and it wasn't made by an orchestra.
Have you played Strange Journey or Soul Hackers?
I played Strange Journey but not Souls Hackers. Strange Journey plays like very hardcore dungeon crawler rather than traditional JRPG and one of the SMT games that demon fusion is even more important because of alignment system.
The gameplay alone is very much traditional jrpg though. Just because a series has demon fusion doesn't change what it is core wise. Hell I consider World of Final Fantasy a traditional jrpg as well.
Sure, but I have seen people who are in to "traditional jrpg" but not in to SMT/Persona and I think it has more to do with their structure. In most cases SMT/Persona don't have over world or visiting different towns, you are mostly going through long dungeons.
I think it has to do more with the fact they don't look like modern JRPGs more than anything the dungeon crawling is a secondary effect lol. I'm sure these same people would play a ps2 SMT than the 3ds one but doesn't not strip it of being a traditional jrpg IMO.
I honestly don’t care either way it’s considered “traditional JRPG” or not, I love games like. DQ/Octopath, SMT/Persona and Xenoblade 1&2.
Yeah, those games absolutely DO NOT need a graphical update, the visuals aged like a fine wine.
Is brap thread banned
To me Wave 1 - 3 wasn't all that interesting but I really liked Cindered Shadows DLC, especially if you still haven't done all the routes yet, the stand alone side story from gameplay perspective was very interesting and give you nice challenge but you also you get nice stuff for base game like new classes and new area to explore.
