Don't get me wrong. It's not all bad. NPC trading, relations with villages, chart itself, it's all fine and great.

However affinity between party members is what makes this system fucked up in my opinion. It really forces you to play all characters. Sure you can give gifts but it's really not that effective given the amount of characters and all combinations between them. Why does the game force me to play everyone when I have my preference? If it was only about skill sharing, it'd be painful, but fine I can live without it. But not being able to do heart-to-hearts is really unfair. Why am I getting punished so hard for enjoying the game in a way I like with party setting I like.

Punishing me combat-wise is acceptable and can be treated as encouragment to change playstyles, but cutting off plot devices and possibility to see the relations development is not cool.

Nothing new but Still hilarious Takahashi called her Eleanor, will she be called Elly by her friends as a nickname.Will the male protag be called Kein(Kei), will a legally distinct Welltall destroy the school lmao.

I have a very niche question. I am doing a little project where I am gathering patches from all the things I love and sewing them onto a denim jacket, and I want to put as many patches on it as I can. However, I have been entirely unable to find a Xenoblade patch. There are a ton of pins around, but no patches as far as I can find. I thought I would ask here on the off chance that someone knows where I can find one.

I’m about to finish up a replay of the first game. Now I’m going to replay Torna and 2. When you replay through the series do you move on to Torna usually or still play in release order on go to 2?

I just started Ursula quest line and thought I would be done after doing each thing once since that is not the case any suggestions?

its all connected...

Lets showcase my incredible IQ in relation to the xenoblade lore ;)

Kassandra was chosen for Zeke to provide the unlucky man some much need luck with no strings attached. This leaves the justice loving Godfrey for Rex, who is the Main Character of course so he's rightly on the side of Justice! And we're sticking with Rex as we vote for his Megalance partner. I feel this could be another blowout but I'm open to surprises.

With the Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 almost here, I've decided to host a fun event. In the base game of Xenobalde 2, there are four blades each for seven of the common weapon types. Enough to give one to each of the four main Drivers. Tora has Poppi so he gets to sit this event out. So with the exception of Aegaeon, who is locked in as Morag's Chroma Katana because of the plot, let's assign the remaining 27 Rare Blades to the other characters. How balance or unbalanced will our team composition end up?

Rules:

1. Top voted SINGLE comment wins.
2. No repeats. We have the exact number of Blades to fill in the chart completely.
3. No post-release Blades, that includes the New Game+ Torna Blades.
4. Each category will be randomly chosen so we hop around the chart more creatively.

This is round 1 of the chain attack, I literally just started it. Yes, they were on Interlink level 3 and actually interlinked when this happened, but this never happened before

So I have the original Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I just be final fantasy rebirth I wanted to start playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and I already pre-ordered the remaster. Can I start playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on my switch 2 and then load up the switch to version when that comes out on the 30th. Or should I wait until the game actually comes out on the 30th I'm just not sure if you can transfer your original copies save data to the remaster version. I play on the switch 2. I mean I haven't even started the same data yet but I'm really looking forward to playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 since the first game was phenomenal I just don't know if I should wait because I'm unsure if the save data will transfer over to the new copy releasing July 30th

noticed out of nowhere all 4 xenoblade games had nopons, but watching genesis trailer expecially frame for frame on crowed people shoot, there was no nopons at all, wanted ask would it be weird if genesis ends up without nopons?

/s

Didn't know it was a thing till I saw it yesterday

So, I know the fandom right now is more about who the new blade is going to be, but if I remember right, the blade quest (and some heart-to-hearts) are between the blade, the driver and someone extra from the party, that means we will have new voice dialogues which is nice, but then I remember that dromarch's English voice actor passed away last year if I recall correctly.

So, would that mean we will have a recast for him? Or he won't be interacting with the new blade, and that would mean we won't hear him with a new voice?

I'm interested in the new blade but this is something I've been thinking about recently and I don't know if anyone has been talking about it before.

I’m a newcomer to the series and picked up Xenoblade DE Switch 2 edition. I’ve noticed that the frame rate drops a lot in combat and just general exploring. Is this normal? Would it be better off playing the switch 1 version?

I’m trying to do the quest I’m a Mechanic but for some reason the game won’t let me talk to Isurd. Did I do something wrong or is the game glitched?

I already played all Xeno Games including Gears and Saga + Dlcs. Im not looking to replay them yet, maybe in a few years, however Im still searching for something to bridge the wait till Genesis.

Any recommendations?
