I can see you're in need of my expertise.
Connor Howard
It's a new thread everyone!
Ethan Thompson
LOOK ALIVE
Isaiah Green
Here's the itinerary for the day...
Benjamin Reed
What stage is best to get Poppi element cores? Or should I just grind 2 until I get the ether to make them?
Charles Gray
Light Element can only be found in stage 5 from the big chest. everything else you can make if you want
Thomas Turner
So does anyone know what some good blades are for everyone? I've heard Perceval and Floren are good but I was just wondering about others.
Luke Jenkins
Could you be a little less specific?
Cooper Johnson
So I rolled KOSMOS on Morag unfortunately, can she be played well as a DPS and put Tora back in to tank (I do have her final form, can just farm the minigame a bit for mods)?
I supposed I can also just put KOSMOS on rex since he can use anything, but two light blades on one person seem pointless, especially since Mythra is already so good.
Austin Stewart
>You need a separate manual to craft the dark element Fuck me. At least I'm at 7/8 elements in my party now.
Isaac Price
so I got ursula, I've heard you can make her merc missions take as little as 2 minutes, how? Do I just have to get really lucky with blade rolls that have both of the extra requirement things?
Nathan Barnes
...
Noah Ross
Overdrive her, she's useless on Morag
Gabriel Torres
CUTE!! >the jiggle
James Bell
I might try to meme and make Morag a dps, reading some things.
Will probably wind up driving her to Zeke though I guess.
Isaac Sullivan
Why do people say Nia is good with axes? Saw videos of her with Zenobia on YT before and kinda confused.
I always ran a full squad of three healers on her or just equipped her to Rex for when I wanted amazing heals.
Isaac Harris
I just arrived to the first floor of the world tree, chapter 8, how much story is left?
Hudson Harris
Can you post the link I'd like to see it in action
People say that Nia is good with axes because her art that recharges on crit has 3 chances to recharge vs the standard 2. Her str is the lowest though so its not like she completely outshines everyone like how she does w/ ether cannons
Dylan Cox
Would you take her to Elysium?
Joshua Phillips
Yes and I'll choose her sister at the end.
James Perry
>useless No blade is useless outside of Godfrey you minmaxing faggot
Jack Murphy
Having her on Morag is much more useful than she'll ever be on Rex
Adrian Ward
>Merc Mission affinity nodes WORST nodes. Can't fill them with merc missions until you've actually completed that many missions with them. Why even bother if I can't cheat fuck off commons
Henry Turner
>Xenoblade 1 >Melia gets cucked
>Xenoblade 2 >Nia and either Pyra or Mythra gets cucked
So about that next game they're making...
Bentley Rogers
Aren't Pyra/Mythra supposed to be two sides of the same person? Like they share everything including memories. Why do people argue about the "canon" version of the choice when you are just choosing a name/temper when they merge?
Isaiah Myers
Three chances for a crit per art means she's hitting it a lot more often.
Matthew Ortiz
Well it's first girl you met and loved you since you met vs original bitch that has to warm up to you before showing that she likes you.
James Hughes
how is xenoblade x?
Michael Long
>1 >girl never confesses and probably never gets over it
>2 >girl confesses, but never expected to have her feelings returned. Is over it and never had hard feelings, despite the MC fearing she would
>3 >girl with a crush on the MC is a bad guy, confesses, gets rejected, she goes crazy and you kill her
It's the only proper evolution and you know it.
Luke Ward
Coffee and milk give us caffellatte but aren't the same thing.
Wyatt Richardson
Not really. I can still classify latte as a coffee or milk drink.
Angel Gray
>two sides of the same person I want /v/ermin to leave.
Jonathan Bell
The problem here is that Rex would never meet Pyra without Mythra creating her in the first place.
Connor Cox
Nah natural would be >Girl not only confesses but try to push herself on the MC, gets rejected hard but somehow enjoys that
David Thomas
Just beat all the UM, complete the weapons skills and charts for the pilots, so this is when the switch wait in the dust until the dlc?
Thomas Jackson
No, I am here to stay and shit on your headcanons. >muh nintendo pr trailer confirms >muh poor japanese confirms >muh old interview confirms >muh default choice confirms >muh flawed logic confirms
Wyatt King
Clutching at straws indeed
Jacob Jackson
That's like saying you can't love someone without loving their mom because the former would never be born without the latter. Flawed logic at best.
Bentley Jenkins
>you can't love someone without loving their mom If the mom is literally the same person in every way but with a different attitude then why shouldn't I love her too?
Gavin Bennett
When you put it that way Rex should also fuck the Architect because he created her. They are the same coin as an individual, but they are separate beings with their mind. Also most of the romantic scenes are with Pyra not Mythra so that is the reasoning on why people choose Pyra over Mythra. After all it's Rex and not the Aegis who names the merge form.
John Cooper
>muh nintendo pr trailer confirms For some reason, the trailer doesn't make Rex yelling both names, even though they went as far as selecting voice lines that aren't part of the same scenes. >muh poor japanese confirms Except several people confirmed, while guys on /v/ claimed things that go against to the basic grammar rules of the language? >muh old interview confirms Yeah, because a production note that still go consistently in that sense after the release of the game is "old"? >muh default choice confirms Funnily enough, prior even the choice thing, the tutorial itself named her after Pyra, instead of mentioning both girl.
Juan Stewart
more Morytha fucking w h e n
Carson Ramirez
>They are the same coin as an individual, but they are separate beings with their mind wat
Bentley Brooks
Did you really play the same game? Why do you think both girls ask Rex if they want to talk with the other? Sharing memories doesn't mean jackshit when it comes to individuality, otherwise the numerous persona switch in the story wouldn't be necessary.
The fact they talk to each other further confirm they have their own individuality, and the fucking ending even goes as far as splitting them.
Caleb Johnson
An acquired taste. Exploring, side quests, customizable builds are the game's strengths and it has some genuinely amazing moments. But it drops the ball on what a lot people consider key elements of Xeno. Characters, story, even themes are only glossed over and the plot stops just as it starts to thicken.
Kevin Powell
>glossed over So much this. The themes are strong and present, but they are so badly handled that they felt like a missed opportunity. Doug's doubt in the end hit home, but it happened so late in the game that it makes you wonder if you didn't play a different game at some point.
Michael Campbell
>For some reason To not spoil you that there will be a fucking choice. >Except several people confirmed Oh yes the vague phrasing confirms everything >a production note is called like this for a reason >prior even the choice thing so why does it matter?
You fags literally go against the fact that there is a legitimate choice presented in the game. Saying that Pyra is de only way is pure waifufagging.
Chase Parker
Basically they share the body meaning that they are literally the same to Malos and Jin, but since the most stimulating part of the woman is the brain that makes choosing between them more important.
Robert Fisher
Since when admitting only 1 character makes sense for a certain pairing means they are your favourite?
You are missing the point: Mythra doesn't feel like a legit choice because she lacks so much development and actual interactions with Rex that she feels like more some extra to Pyra instead of being a second heroine.
Xavier Bailey
Mythra is pure fanservice
Austin Watson
And now you idiots are going to explain to me why title screen features both of them holding hands with Rex at the end despite the choice. You can't.
Andrew Ward
every female blade is fanservice
Christopher Gray
>responding to /v/ What's the point?
Brandon Harris
>holding hand >he must love both, guys!!! Truly best logic.
Asher Ward
>she feels like more some extra to Pyra instead of being a second heroine. Ever since Mythra woke up I felt like she was in charge honestly.
Tyler Gomez
?
Eli James
Azami is pure
Jacob Nguyen
mamiko noto's voice alone makes me orgasm
Connor Ramirez
To be honest, Mythra sounds like the true Aegis, so I agree when you mean she was in charge (except when Pyra decides to give a big fuck you to Jin and Malos). But as far as her interactions with the team goes, she is sidelined for weird reasons. She has 0 H2H with Rex, and it feels like her closest friend was Poppi.
Oliver Barnes
...
Elijah Perez
Finch is the ultimate fanservice
Dominic Miller
You know what I meant
Owen Brooks
Agreed
Jacob Turner
Ok, so I just got to chapter 8 and got everyone back.
Can I farm for a rare core now? Or should I wait till post-game? I am still running around doing all quests that has been collecting dust.
Daniel Anderson
I want to marry a generic Ardainian NPC.
William Miller
When the fuck is the DLC coming? Why haven't they said anything about it yet?
Samuel Nelson
>trying to find my way to Genbu's brain >end up in a level 80 tirkin camp I honestly don't even know how I got to the bridge to come down here because I was exploring some other tower before that.
Nolan Peterson
>shitposters on /v/ saying the game didnt get good for them until 30 hours ??? Like, theres not some huge shift in level scaling or something. Obviously, holding chain attacks and toppling until Uraya was bullshit (and you could still topple just not with rex), but other than that theres not really some huge shift where the game goes from "alright" to masterpiece The only 2 times like that are right after the first Morag fight where the game completely opens up and thats only a few horus into the game - and then in Uraya when the stop blueballing you with the mechanics.
Jose Sanders
Think you can take me?!
Cooper Miller
>/v/ whats with all of these /v/ related posts here today?
Isaiah Reed
i bought the digital version. faster loading.
Those goggles are straight up the monado/shulk color scheme
Blake Taylor
>i bought the digital version. faster loading. Mythra is only a canon choice for collectors edition owners. Enjoy your plebian Pyra.
Blake Butler
I bought the collector's edition and I still chose Pyra though.
Isaac Reed
Crossposters are upset that people on /v/ think the game is any less than great/perfect/good so they come over here to bitch after losing an argument instead of not giving a fuck.
Aaron Gonzalez
>Engage in battle alongside a female Blade >2/7 >Party is Pandy/Sheba/Dagas, Mythra/Roc/Agate, Poppis >won;t go up from 2 >haven't changed party at all
Easton Gomez
fag >people unironically read /v/ in 2018
Jayden Thompson
Try switching between them in battle?
Jonathan Brooks
Which character? Maybe you're supposed to equip female blades onto the driver
>trying to have an actual argument or fruitful discussion with /v/ Fuck that, I just skip that step and come straight here. I love complaining for the fuck of it.
Landon Bell
Pyra best girl
Isaiah Harris
Apparently it actually means initiate the battle with Sheba out and females in the party. No idea why it stopped counting at 2 though when I had her in the lead for at least a dozen fights.
Juan White
I have only seen fruitful story discussion here than on the whole internet.
Daniel Brown
>two sides of the same person If you're trying to imply that "same person" is Pneuma, you're wrong because Pneuma isn't really her own person.
>A tulpa is an entity created in the mind, acting independently of, and parallel to your own consciousness. They are able to think, and have their own free will, emotions, and memories. In short, a tulpa is like a sentient person living in your head, separate from you.
Nathaniel Robinson
Then Mythra is a gulps too? Without Pyra (or Mythra) = no Pneuma
