I can't think of anything I liked better in XB2 than 3.

So far I dont think much of Noah or Mio as protagonists. Still early we will see.

I didn't like any of the cast of 2 from start to finish. Especially Rex.

I liked Rex the most. Was basically his journey into adulthood.

Totally original character arc in a JRPG right there. Ah, going through puberty while saving the world.

I mean more at the end where he had to accept other people's decisions and not throw a tantrum like a child. You see it how he carries himself afterward. He becomes stoic which is a quality of men not boys.

so in this game you cant change weapons and armor?
only ch2 still, but combat still isnt it.
but i guess im still missing chain attacks, heroes, and interlink, lets see once I get all those mechanics
I like the idea to change characters mid fight but my brain cant keep up on who is who, all their arts etc, plus the AI is already so good at setting up combos, that I tend to stick to 1 person still. Right now I am still simply chaining auto attacks into arts, into fusion, feeling kinda repetitive without much depth (for now)

The combat is a bit of sensory overload, for sure. I tend to stick to one character as well. Thankfully, as you said, the AI is significantly better than past games. It's funny, before I played I was so excited to be able to swap mid combat, but have barely used it. Really hard to keep track of 6 characters!

I’m actually consistently Switch between characters, I especially switch to my healers to heal and give buffs to my tanks.
At first it was little confusing switching between characters in mid battle but I got used to it and just had become second nature.
yeah, thought it was going to be super exciting, but I dont use it. I thought I was going to be doing some next level Neo, big brain moves with all characters lol but nah, not only is it too many characters, but they have moves from 2 different classes.....and when I want a daze or smash, my team just does it, and when someone dies, they go straight to revive, they are much better than me lol
I think I just need to get to Ch 3 and have the mechanics open up, cause doing auto attacks, and basic arts is getting old lol
Been stopping to fight monsters and all, but going to have to push through the story for now
the AI does a pretty good job at that as well, the other games needed this more than this one lol, how many times did I wish sharla would heal me at the right time lol

AI it much better this time around but against tough bosses they are not all that reliable, I need control my healers against some tough bosses and switch between characters makes the combat fun.
yeah, maybe, we will see. I also need to open up a bunch more mechanics

It was. There just seems to be a contingent of people around here who love to push hyperbole like it was a terribly written cast with nothing redeemable about them. Kind of makes you question if they even played the game.
agreed

This was a thing in XC2 either.
Last game I played was definitive edition, been awhile
Got chain attacks, gonna have to watch a video to understand all of that

It’s gone because you can run past the enemies regardless if they can hear you or see you.

Probably they saving it for new game plus, like Xenoblade 2
This. Xenoblade 2 characters are great. People usually write it off because they decided to hate the cast because of the design lol
This analysis is great
He have another Xenoblade 2 videos, haven't watched it yet

I was wondering Is there multiple endings?
Mister Wolf

At this point I'm not trying to convince anyone to like XB2. They don't like it, so be it. One monkey don't stop a show.

I think none of the previous games have multiple ending, so most likely it won't

I'll keep hassling people until they love XCX. It takes a lot of monkeys to fly to space.

Riku & Manana just rip through everything with their grenade attack I love their class, the whole idea of having fields dealing damage over time is a nice addition to gameplay and also reminds me of Riki's bleed in OG XC
I also like Alexandria's class, it's basically Dunban's critical hits playstyle minus the high evasion rate.
Does anyone know if there's a Jack of all trades class kinda like Shulk's?

Pretty boring so far. Story not interesting, characters bland, tutorials all the time, like I know how to buy items thank you game.
I played Xenoblade 1 before this and it was so much better than this game. Day and Night difference.
Will play a little more but if it doesn't get better I will sell it again. The waiting for a good JRPG continues.

I was surprised how I could beat most of unique monsters on my first try, but I finally found one. I forgot it's name, but it's the big camel-like foe in the desert. I got my ass handed to me pretty easily, I only lasted halfway through his healthbar. I'll just have to come back later when I'm stronger.

Exact same situation for me, had to come back later...
Ok so just entered chapter 6 (what a ride) but feel I can make some calls on what feel the game should have done better... there's one big one though, heroes.
You do their little story segment and that's it, I understand they wanted a class swap mechanic and they are essentially there to tie into that, but it sucks... i would have preferred less heroes but they take part in the plot, I understand how much work that would be but Skies of Arcadia managed this with the 3 choices for the 4th companion...
Like I understand at really important parts like the end of chapter 5 to chapter 6 they have a reason your not bringing them along, but for major story beats I have some hot heads who had alot to say in their segments just stood there blankly... not even a cutting one liner they just stand there.
People love their choices being acknowledged by the game... SOME ONE AKNOWLEDGE THE FACT CAPTAIN TRITON IS STOOD THERE DURING YOUR STUPID 10 MINUTE MONOLOGUE! WHY IS NO ONE SUPRISED BY THIS!? it's because he's not really supposed to matter outside his little box, he's there to tick a box so you can learn the blue Mage style class and I hate that these characters are reduced to that once their bit is done.
I had the same feeling with the blades in 2

If you're using a Keves class you can only equip Agnus master arts and vice versa.
Wow ok thanks! I guess you get more Agnus classes at some point. The story has been Keves heavy so far.

I might be wrong but I believe you need to get the ability to ride the zip lines before you can go exactly here, but I remember looking at the structures surrounding this and feeling like I recognised the area.

Okay, got chain attacks, its all starting to click and feel really god
but it is going to be VERY hard to beat the amazing synergy that Xeno 2 had. From auto attacks,, going into arts, arts going into combos, into elemental combos (these were soooo good), to creating orbs on the enemies, to getting a lot of orbs, to then chain attack, to break he orbs, break enough orbs, and do a full burst.
it all had a great flow, and it was all connected, chain attacks in 3 seem cool still, but i dont feel it has as good as a synergy as 2 had with its system
but im very biased with that game's combat, i couldnt get enough, once I beated it, I went after all the optional hard monsters/bossess
