I wonder how much of a problem her sleep walking was in the past. How many times did she end up sneaking into Addam's bed. How many times did she beat the shit out of him?
Evan Thomas
This is the real reason he locked her up inside a battleship vault and sank it.
Blake White
Next time please make sure there is not another thread already made ahead of time like there was already. That will limit confusing.
And please post a link to it on post limit and not before.
Luke King
Is there a guide to where I can find the 12 Brothersisterpons? I've already found over half of them and am getting pretty tired of running around in circles searching for the rest.
Jacob Gomez
This. Ideally people shouldn't make a new thread until the current thread has - hit the bump limit - is on at least page 7-8 and autosaging And if you're going to make a thread in advance tell everyone in the thread so someone doesn't make another one.
Jace Phillips
not to resurrect any shitposting but do people seriously think the japanese names are better? >Homura (means flame) >Hikari (literally means light, how imaginative) >Serpent >Byakko (means white tiger) and so on
Justin White
No, but weebs and purists will always say that Japanese names are better.
Caleb Sanchez
Stupid people who think it's a good idea to spoil things the game treats like major revelations do, yes.
Bentley Stewart
Sure. Homura and Hikari are actual names and Byakko is a mythological creature like most Blades.
Ethan Martinez
auto saging is the bump limit, you don't need to say it twice
Michael Ortiz
I've been making the new threads 10 posts ahead of time every day though. I just wait for bump limit and post it. not sure why another one was made. If they wanna do it though, that's fine. Just make sure the information of the OP is correct.
Only reason I don't say anything is because there are those who would make it and post it before bump with incorrect information just to fuck with people. It's happened more than once. Call me paranoid.
Isaac Bell
Don't get mad at me you got OP cucked idiot. Don't make early threads without telling people
Wyatt Barnes
Just got chapter 8 and I dont see the final poppy form heart to heart in leth.
Am I missing something or do I need to go even farther in the story?
Levi Nelson
>Vale wants to be and pretends to be an edgelord but deep down she likes girly stuff CUTE! Shame zanobia is the better attack blade and prerun is the better shit hits the fan / anti aggro blade.
Ayden Cruz
im not OP, maybe you need to calm down
Oliver Parker
>I've been making the new threads 10 posts ahead of time every day though. But why user. Just let the general flow it's natural course. Doing that will just make people think it's okay to rush for the next OP.
At at least appreciate the people who have been making OP's have been dutifully sticking to the format though. At least no one's tried to fuck up the OP yet.
Leo Reyes
You have to go to tora's house
Daniel Gray
Opened 22 Legendary Cores. Got 4 rare blades! Not bad at all. That's 4 more than I was expecting.
Parker Peterson
Don't give up user I got her only a couple dozen cores after Vale. Only Agate is left but I don't care that much, it'll happen when it happens for her since she's not one I'm targeting.
I actually got her at the point that I was basically numb from grinding so much. Starting making a snack in the kitchen while going through another 40 rare cores Noticed that the music playing wasn't the usual generic blade song and saw she had come to me at last through the kitchen window.
Robert Rivera
>Zenobia's questline isn't going around dueling all the """"""superbosses"""""
Hunter Sanders
WHERE THE FUCK DO I FARM LEGENDARY CORES SOMEBODY GIVE ME AN ANSWER OTHER THAN >check the OP
Chase Roberts
Is Blade HB any good?
>but why I dunno. Been doing it that way since /xbcgx/ #3 was around. Though eventually someone took over that job. OPs are important user. way I see it, the conversations trail off after 750, so I post it at 750 to keep the flow going, not really to disrupt it. Posting new thread before 750 is haram though and should not be tolerated, no matter the intent, but people will move to it anyways. Oh well. Not much to do about it.
Carson Allen
if you're willing to grind his affinity chart twice, sure
Jeremiah Hughes
Pick a high level unique monster you like and smash it as often as possible.
Liam Adams
Hope you're going to enjoy the final 3 grind

It's about killing the one truly immortal being on alrest so that's pretty close.

Cooper Hall
>Daniel Radclyff Is that an actual enemies name or are you fucking meeming me. That's pretty funny if it's real

Liam Sanders
>10 legendary cores >Implying that's anything
Colton Harris
I like that this opens up affinity shit for me but jeez. I wish they weren't so bad.
Austin Wright
Yeah but his Special Animations are sick. There's something about him brushing aside his cape, slowly walking to enemies then slamming them that's incredibly satisfying to watch and summoning a throne just so you can sit in it and do an unimpressed boss before you get up again is radical.
Thomas Collins
what is best exchange and salvage point to get justice boosters?
Leo Adams
She would be perfect with Zeke too bad my Zeke has like 3 spears on him right now.
Landon Gomez
It didn't really strike me as shitposting, it feels like that now any discussion with strong opinions is labeled as shitposting without solid reason.
From what I read, the discussion I saw in the previous thread really made it look like the localization was handled by people who didn't have the slightest idea of what they were doing and were too lazy to completely go through with their changes, which is why you suddenly have japanese names everywhere when you go see your common blades in your inventory.
It reeks of terrible communication between teams if Monolith didn't tell them or incompetence since the translators didn't manage to catch it or if they caught it, that they didn't care about what they were working on at all.
Justin Brown
A king needn't use his full strength among commoners.
Josiah Ward
I always use my cores early instead of farming 99 cores.
Ian Wilson
I wonder if the devs knew how OP Zenobia would be.
Aaron Russell
But how? Pacifist?
Ian Bailey
No. >
Connor Thompson
>She's one of the more uncommon blades like Kos-Mos >Her affinity tree is about killing every unique in the game besides the super bosses >Her heart to heart is about how there's no way she would have fought on Mythra's side during the Aegis war because she would want to fight against Mythra for a tough fight >Her quest line is about letting an actually immortal monster sealed away for hundreds of years free, then milling it It's intentional
Aaron Parker
>secret bonus places This is more than I knew.
Jason Robinson
it would be fine if the english side were consistent at all
you people who push back against japanese names and voice acting while putting the english version on a pedestal are more annoying than the actual localization, because you treat the story like it's a literary work and not straight out of a dumb anime
where do I get a golden Nopon Mask? Also how do I make Poppi a good attacker in Chapter 7? Can I not make Vanilla Poppi into an ATK?
Hudson Baker
not that user, but I don't think anyone is pushing back against it, or putting the English on a pedestal. I think someone in this conversation is just being stubborn.
Levi Davis
XENOBLADE 2 TOTALLY ISN'T LOW KEY WAIFUSHIT BAIT TRASH DESUDESU desu DESUDESU WAAAAAAAAAAAH! PLEASE! BUY THIS GAAAAAAAAAAAAME :( >no mechs >not open world >generic persona-esque ost >p2w gacha mechanics >localized not translated >uguu am i cute now female design >360p W-what went wrong bros? EVEN MY MOM LAUGHED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS GAME! Monolith. Nintendo. They did this to us bros. They turned us, the loyal and regal Xenoblade fanbase, into a laughing stock. WE CAN'T LET THIS STAND XENOBROS!!
Matthew Smith
The Japanese names aren't better. But they had a consistent theme that was absent in the localized version.
If they had bothered to do a decent localization, they would've had an equivalent schtick for Blade names. They could've gone with Royalty and Mythology, for instance. Caesar, Elizabeth, Cleopatra, etc. But they can't even decide why they want to change names.
Samuel Edwards
Yeah, it is in multiple stages apparently. But for stage two, it appears when there is one of those red lobster like creatures on the right side. Move into the border of the screen where the two ether crystals are and you will be transported into the secret area, where a man with a beard will throw urchins and ether crystals at you. Each of those crystals give you tons.
Robert Long
are you including me in that? because i don't treat it like that. i prefer the japanese and don't care much for story
Camden Howard
>She's one of the more uncommon blades like Kos-Mos
You're talking out of your ass here but I otherwise agree.
Leo Thompson
where did you copy this from
Hunter Myers
No, you're just an idiot.
Charles Moore
probably /v/
Jackson Lopez
>a consistent theme that was absent in the localized version. >generic Japanese names and literal words
Isaac Myers
that is unironically how /v/ discusses a game
Juan Kelly
They aren't complete idiots, they perfectly knew, she's not one of the only two blades with 50 slots in her skill tree for nothing.
Carson Thompson
Floren is best girl(male)
Justin Morris
>you people who push back against japanese names and voice acting while putting the english version on a pedestal are more annoying than the actual localization, because you treat the story like it's a literary work and not straight out of a dumb anime Reminds me of Xeno1. That game was absolute trash on all fronts, but nope Nintendrones sucked it off so you can never criticize it.
Adrian James
>he's having his tantrum again
Asher Bennett
what's bad about it
Xavier Morgan
So what exactly do you want any of us to do about? Why are you complaining about it here, senpai?
I'd wager at the end of the day - be it through budget or deadlines -the product needs to be understandable through and through. At some point it probably came down from the top people telling them not to over do it because the people mostly buying this game over seas don't understand what those things are, or even aware that changes exist. that's just how things are. We can't know everything that goes on behind those doors, but I doubt it was "hmmm yeah.. just throw that on them as a name. that'll work.", but Tendy has been known to fuck up their own localization of third/first party games every now and then. Fire Emblem: Fates comes to find when it was coming out, and people got over it.
Luis Scott
Does the AI make use of the "cancel art into art" node or is it a waste?
Julian Roberts
Kosmos seems to have a different rarity from most blades which is why she's almost everyone's last / last 4 or so. Zenobia also seems less common, though not nearly as rare as kosmos.
Tyler Barnes
has anyone tested how much str boosts damage?
Nathaniel White
I like how every single thing in the green text is false but would be someone's first impression based on a complaint or some video footage if they're trying to find reasons to hate it. Adds a layer of subtlety to the bait. Good stuff.
Christopher Cooper
>been grinding cores for 4 days >still no Zenobia or Kos-Mos
Angel Phillips
Stop grinding the docks Finish the game. Grind the vampire bitch for legendaries and rares.
Logan Flores
To be fair, the Japanese who originally wrote it clearly did pull a 'just throw that on them as a name', because all the themed shit the user is sperging out over adds nothing to the story that isn't already present and sometimes has no relevance at all.
Julian Cruz
My mom is dead
Joshua Miller
The most impressive part about this is how he keeps the bird from riding the ledge and dropping all the items bellow desu. too busy wasting all my time here to draw
Colton Myers
That's exactly what I've been doing.
Adrian Stewart
"All Blades are Japanese (even if you don't know they're Blades), all non-Blades aren't" is a consistent theme, though.
I don't expect anything to change. It's a topic for discussion. It's not like Xeno games haven't missed subtext with name changes before (blueblood and mimeosome, for instance). It doesn't make the game less enjoyable, and I don't blame the localization team if they didn't pick up on it or if they didn't have time to do anything with it. That is, as you said, just the reality of localizing a product. Personally I think it's an interesting topic for conversation. I'm interested in localization and how meaning is conveyed across language barriers. I thought playing off 'blushy-crushy' as a Nopon phenomenon to sidestep explaining 'moe' was a clever change, for instance. Or the inclusion of regional dialects for character voices.
Oliver Parker
damn
damn
Colton Ross
>It's not like Xeno games haven't missed subtext with name changes before (blueblood and mimeosome, for instance) What were they changed from?
Brody Nelson
Try not to feel too bad
James Moore
I'm sorry. I'm deleting my post user. I just wanted to try and be an edgy fucktard.
Eli Powell
Oh I agree. which is weird because the job to localize it is sometimes very difficult because they have to give meaning to names that are literally just simple terms in Japan.
It really depends on what kind of game it is on if the decision to directly translate the names or not would be a good idea. XB2 is not the first game in its series, so it would be stupid to directly translate the names to their respective Japanese ones since the previous ones did not do that.
While I believe it's great that they included jap voice DLC for the game, it's also a fucking curse because neither of the other two did not have this problem. and if they did, it no longer persists.
Jose Johnson
embarrassing
Aaron Bailey
Fuck this grind JUST FUCKING GIVE ME KOSMOS, RNG is the true final boss of this game
Ian Williams
shut up. I never meant to make user feel bad. That's serious shit. I feel like garbage.
Carter Roberts
Blueblood/BB was the Japanese name for MimeosomesMims. Blueblood is a term referring to nobles, so the idea is anyone with a mim is fairly privileged compared to anyone left to die on earth. But that's obvious from the rest of the game.
Like the Japanese Blade name thing it doesn't really explain too much that you don't find out from the game anyways.
Alexander Ortiz
Bluebloods would be utterly inappropriate as a term for advanced science in English and would give away a major spoiler from late in the game to people who don't see it as an exotic foreign word. That isn't subtext, it's text, and it's shit writing to leave that kind of text sitting there when you're going to act like it's a surprise later.
Joseph Cox
Saber Slash, Redemption, Hydro Blase good for Rex? Or should I swap one fore Water Flower?
Brandon Fisher
The term mimeosome was actually blueblood in the Japanese version. Blue blood is a term that means "a person of noble birth", so it was a way to suggest that those who got on the White Whale are equivalent to nobility. Given that only the best people were picked to go on the White Whale, the nobility parallel makes sense.
Joshua Williams
>would give away spoilers this for a lot of jap to english stuff. for whatever reason, japs just don't give a fuck about spoilers.
Christian Hernandez
Ok but really what did she mean by this
Adam Hill
dont feel too bad, people say that all the time as a response to "your mom" stuff, im guessing his mom isnt really dead or he's over it. if his mom was really dead he wouldnt say it so flippantly in an inconsequential conversation on the internet
Christian Russell
He wants to fuck a dog.
John Gutierrez
There's that, and I think we tend to overlook how English jargon is less obviously meaningful to them since they'd have to go out of their way to find out what it means. Blueblood might be fine to people who never learn that term.
Josiah Lewis
>Tora >she
Jaxson Johnson
Tora is a degenerate, this is established very early on.

Where's that location in Temperantia with the lizards worshipping the ice demon thing?
