I was on the border for the Pyra figure since she's meh but now that we've seen Mythra I really want the set. Especially since the series won't get any other merc ever. Since the soundtrack and all those voice lines are out, does this mean we get all that delicious Ardanian soldier in glorious HQ rip form?

Don't care, I want an Adenine figure that defies physics.

Things like this should be in the OP. Just saying.

What's wrong with undocked screenshots?

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J2x0OAxhOyxJexgT70igRCfgDTqa7cGFOo8lihUilMA/edit#gid=0 Should the blades tier list be updated? The criteria for how points are determined is pretty nebulous and cons include irrelevant things like how hard the affinity chart is to fill out. Also Adenine is classed as the worst blade in the game in the healer category despite being one of the best DPS.
Isaiah Wood
dear god
Owen Lopez
You gonna put it on youtube? all my OSTs are on youtube for convenience...
Lincoln Ward
Upscaling I'm guessing.
Sebastian Ortiz
I think they already are.
Nolan Phillips
>Using google VS. >Being an nth level weaboo
I've listened to all both Xenoblade OSTs a dozen times. It's amazing how you can't get sick of them.
Shoot. That makes them limited edition?
Charles Morales
I made the mistake of confusing nendoroids with funko pops. I felt like a fucking idiot bashing something that I knew nothing about. turns out I love nendos and I want them but they are expensive and not usually of the characters I want.
Jonathan Hall
And you'll have to buy the inevitable Pneuma figure, too
Jaxon Watson
It's all the same shit. It's dolls, no matter what weeb shit you want to call it. You clearly don't know what a jay peg is. The OST has been up on youtube forever.
Jordan Brown
What's the instrumental Drifting Soul called?
James Nelson
Nope, I'm not seeing anything wrong.
Ayden Sanders
wait, seriously? made to order is a thing for figures now, finally? Jeez it's about time
Jayden Cook
>inevitable
Mason Young
>Shoot. That makes them limited edition? Yes. Order them while they are up since I "think" that they won't bin.
Easton White
Imagine her going around fucking with people's body just because she's pissed.
Samuel Reyes
yeah but this is new, right? some new tracks, some full rips or whatever.. >It's amazing how you can't get sick of them. masunori or whatever his name is is an absolute master of that, which is damn important for RPGs since you sit and listen to some tracks endlessly. I think it's about making each song go in different places
Joseph Wilson
Link died user.
Christian Allen
Yeah the new rips are on there.
Mason Anderson
>masunori or whatever his name is is an absolute master of that Which only makes it that much more confusing that Temperantia is fucking insufferable from the moment you first go there.
Ian Reyes
See
James Bell
it's not that bad. It's just not great also did he do EVERY Track? surely not. That one sounds like something from X.
Grayson Barnes
how do idea points work?
Aiden Barnes
placebo
Noah Parker
The problem with Temperentia is that it's fitting for the 5 minutes you have to actually go there but if you want to do all the optional content here you're stuck with this high intensity song that never lets up once. A lot of things about Temperentia are pretty bizzare actually, feels like it was added late in the development cycle.
Daniel Fisher
Pretty fun, nice knowing I'm not perfect.
Kayden Young
Nia puts on a tough facade but deep down is to nice to just give people super cancer. Probably just tell you to put yur head up yur arse
Mythra, on the other hand will level towns just because she’s on her period.
Parker Cox
Is is not on the OST at all?
John Torres
It isn't.
Michael Hill
To me it feels like it was just that they ran out of things to add. You can see a lot of places where that happened. I actually applaud them for going for lots of areas for lots-of-areas' own sake, when clearly the amount of content in the game didn't warrant it. to me it feels like a place that was a big part of the original story as written, and then it turned out they couldn't code the titan weapon battles so they just had you fight on top of one and fight its turret, but they'd made the models so they put them all around and kept the important story aspects of them.
as for the music, it's the same situation with elysium post endgame. I miss its peaceful feel but after you go that far it's allll urgency
Brayden Wood

Isn't that a gamefaqs fanfic?

I'd honestly appreciate it for the Ah! My Goddess nostalgia
Adam Long
>You Will Recall Our Names
Is that the real name of the track?
Joshua Campbell
This is my wife, Nia. I'm monitoring this thread very closely on her behalf, so I had better not see any bullying going on in here.
Joseph Reed
You're boring, weak, and your fanbase is awful.
Asher Perry
Don't do this to me, I like Kassandra too.
Leo Bailey
Ye have ta go back.
Connor Baker
Even more proof that Nia's fanbase is terrible, they can't even spell the name of a blade they like properly.
Logan Scott
Sorry, I had Soul Calibur on the brain.
Owen Smith
I wish Kas would bully me
Juan Diaz
Kas is a nice girl why would she bully you?
Alexander Russell
How did the whole soundtracks get mined from the game and not include that?
Jayden Hughes
Kas is a witch, WITCH!
James Butler
Can't wait for NG+ to do a Rex/Nia only run
Luis Turner
Please take her clothes off, her vagina is getting sweaty.
Thomas Reyes
Alright autism ahead but here's how I would fix Temperentia. Keep the story segment mostly the same, but expand on Judicium and how exactly it fell, because I must have missed that. Also make the Ruins of Judicium actual ruins, because I sure can't find any. For that matter, add a few ruins throughout the continent, to make it feel like an actual place where people lived, and not just some random hellscape in the middle of the cloud sea. Small nitpick, but make the Lost Capital Judicium skip travel not a secret area, because it's not exactly hidden in the first place, and doesn't feel at all like a separate area from the rest of the ruins. As previously mentioned, dial down the music a bit. Maybe add some segments that give a "ruined civilization" feel. Make it more clear what animal it's based on. Its skip travel art sorta looks like a manta ray but it's not reflected well in game, especially when taking into account the whole out of bounds area beyond the great wall. Add some color. More poison rivers. More of those bright flowers that can be found near the poison rivers. Make the terrain more uneven. More of those jagged spikes, and areas like the crevasse and that crater in the north east. Add Urayan garrison. And last but not least, have a titan weapon superboss.
At least it's not Tantal's lower level of bad.
Elijah Ward
I’m gonna send Pyra on Merc Missions so I can be with bae.
Carter Powell
I'm looking forward to seeing what Nia's group is named.
Asher Wilson
The Sore Losers.
Juan Ward
>As previously mentioned, dial down the music a bit. Maybe add some segments that give a "ruined civilization" feel. Even just adding a calmer night theme would improve it immensely.
Isaiah Richardson
Enjoy no Driver combos ever.
Xavier Gonzalez
>As previously mentioned, dial down the music a bit. Maybe add some segments that give a "ruined civilization" feel. For real. Maybe that music is fine for the first time you go there, because you're trying to stop that titan weapon, but visits after that boss battle should have different music
Benjamin Robinson
>>For that matter, add a few ruins throughout the continent >the fucking chapter padding where shitkids steal your core crystal and run off >OUR VILLAGE GOT DESTROYED IN THE WAR, WE WANT REVENGE >already know there isn't any ruins to seek out for worldbuilding because the game just tells instead of showing these details Same with "the rebel zone" in Mor Ardain. Christ, Uraya felt like a fucking grand design of world building because I found a village and later found a capital city.
I actually liked Temperentia a lot, it had a lot of cool weird shit to find and I value that a lot in Xenoblade. Stuff like the Igna throne, the demon worship area etc are entertaining to come across. Do wish the music calmed down when you returned, though.
Isaac Diaz
>Xenoblade 2 is now the Awakening of the series Never thought I see the day when a Xenoblade game would become popular.
Jason Flores
>Fall from cliff as Zeke >"NOT AGAAAAIIIINNNN" o-oh
Brayden Clark
Catty Company ;)
Jacob Parker
There's a Siren one as well?
Matthew Morales
The potential was always there, it just finally had a release that wasn't hampered by localization shenanigans or a poorly selling console.
Andrew Edwards
But unlike Awakening, the gameplay is actually one of the better in the franchise
Easton Wood
Nia is break: the character until Tora get big boy Poppi, then Rex gets the rest. It's doable but you'd need to use Roc and that's awful. That happened to me too and I was like "I know that feel, Zeke." All the unfortunate things that happen to him remind me of my life, minus a boulder and with smaller cliffs. >Rex dies >That was POORLY judged >Mythra says "AGAIN?" Yeah I do it like four times an hour bitch get used to it.
Austin Robinson
>>the fucking chapter padding where shitkids steal your core crystal and run off Yeah, that sucked. The intent was obviously to hammer the point that blades lose their memories when they return to their core crystal but the execution left much to be desired. Why didn't they just put a miasma in Mor Ardain?
Daniel Clark
>the final chorus of Counterattack >it starts once, then starts again in a higher key
Levi Kelly
Awesome.
Anthony Hall
Oh, okay. I thought you were doing a solo Rex run with Nia as your only Blade.
Jacob Fisher
Judging as it's made by Kotobukiya it'll be a plastic model kit, in other words it'll be a box full of parts that you have to put together your damn self. I bought the Xenoblade X Formula Skell one and despite having no experience with plastic model kits managed to assemble it in an afternoon.
Brody Evans
>counterattack pauses when mythra uses foresight in chapter 3 >resumes when foresight ends I love shit like this.
Dominic Baker
I'd hope he's not planning on that. Since he has to get passed the halfway point of the game to be able to do that. And by that point in the game you almost never need a healing blade. But he's obviously a madman so maybe he'll do it.
Levi Rodriguez
well here's the thing, it's kind of realistic that important shit from the past is.. important only in the past. Judicium is a fucking dump and that makes sense. It's just disappointing It's also disappointing how they set up this big war and then... eh, peace. but at the same time, that was fun. I loved watching prince shota being all diplomatic
William Barnes
>Pyra tells Rex very plainly that Mythra is stronger than her >In reality Pyra's raw power far exceeds Mythra's across the board, Mythra's advantage is actually speed
Why the fuck did they lie to the player like this?
Gavin Howard
>well here's the thing, it's kind of realistic that important shit from the past is.. important only in the past I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
Jaxson Hernandez
You think she really would burn her?
Bentley Lee
He said NG+, so I think that you'd be able to do that since the devs are prioritizing fun over story integration in that.
Crit recharge makes Mythra the far superior choice in combat to Pyra in just about every way. Even if individual attacks do less damage, that doesn't matter when the attacks never stop.
Luis Scott
Poppi made promise
Austin Hughes
Mythra has the ability to spam arts on crits over and over. Pyra does not
Brayden Robinson
If this is a model kit, I hope it has better colour apps than the Formula. There's literally two bits of orange on it, and Siren is looking too good to be true. And do we have any idea about it's size?
Kevin Gomez
Could be a multi channel file, you just remove the vocal channel.
Wyatt Morgan
Siren actually looks decent unlike the Pyra/Mythra figures. If it's self assembled maybe it might be cheaper since the price is kind of turning me off.
