Definitely didn't try to take it or something...
What improvements are you most looking forward to?
Personally, I'd love for them to fix the music. My god, once you unlock flying and infinite overdrive the whole game's soundtrack devolves into two tracks over and over and over again. It's awful.
So that's my #1 most requested change.
What about you guys?
Just recently got a Switch and having a blast with 3. 1 and 2 finally came in the mail today and I'm just so excited to experience them all! 🤣
Please let me cook. The green light glowing on Elma’s chest in her suit is the Pneuma crystal. The Black Knight at the end of the trailer is Malos/the Logos crystal.
I refuse to further elaborate.
After a long day, Kos-Mos demanded to be cleaned after appraising herself and realizing her external visage degraded by 5%.
Like many people in this sub I guess, I heard about the recent announcement of XCX DE and I am planning to buy it. However, I never played the original title and had some questions related to it, for people who ideally played all titles 1,2,3,X
Thanks a lot for your help and see you in March! (Or earlier if they decide again to randomly drop it earlier)
With the announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, I can't help but be excited for its release next year. It's the only Xenoblade game I have yet to play, so it will be a whole new experience for me, from the gameplay and the world of Mira. I never thought XCX would come to the switch, but here it is. I'm glad cause this is an excellent opportunity for newcomers to come to the series.
We've come a long way, and now, Xenoblade as a whole will continue to receive the love and attention it deserves. To think, we got here because of XC2, which is also why I hope it will receive a definitive edition. It started Xenoblade Chronicles' journey on the switch, but we'll have to wait and see. Until then, I can't wait to begin my XCX journey.
What changes do you hope are made in XCXDE?
If XC2 gets a definitive edition, what changes/additions would you like to see?
It was not a short time between the original announcement of XCX and the time it was released a decade ago or maybe it just felt like a long time to a 15 year old, regardless I let my expectations run completely wild to a degree that no game or product could ever hope to reach. All I could see was what the game wasn't and how upset that made me rather than what the game actually was. Flash forward to now and I'm realizing I remember almost nothing about XCX other than my negative feelings towards it, in a few months I will be going back in with unreasonable expectations but in the complete opposite direction.
I only played the rom on emulator, but i really hope they incorporate the positioning arrow at least instead of text saying “right” or “left.” X has too much text clutter in general in the UI, it needs to be simplified for the definitive release. They could keep the arts scroll (even though button shortcuts are way better) but at least give me the positioning arrow. Also hope they make the camera feel better to control as i remember controlling the camera in x felt just bad/unsmooth.
I don't know this community well, so I don't know what you'll think of this, but I only heard about Xenoblade from Super Smash Bros Ultimate with Pyra and Mythra in the DLC. Funny enough Pyra and Mythra are now my mains in the game, and I enjoy their designs and gimmicks. I did some research about Xenoblade and am interested in getting into the series. I'm a Switch only gamer, so when I went onto the EShop I was a little overwhelmed. I would assume I should start at Xenoblade Chronicles- the base game. But are they in order? Do I need to play the previous games before starting the next ones? And what's Xenoblade Chronicles X? Should I preorder that? I'm really confused at where to start and was hoping to get some advice from real players. Thanks!
… Could someone please explain exactly what happened in the opening fleet battle over Earth?
Like, was it JUST the Ganglion fighting the… I think they’re called Ghosts? Or were the Ganglion part of a larger force?
With the release of Xenoblade X Definitive Edition it made me curious if anyone has made an affinity chart guide for X. I know we have the wonderful guides for 1 and 3 from Stargleam and Kedoya (I believe) so I was curious if there was one I could use for my first playthrough of X.
And yeah I'm the same Terry from EVO 2024.
What do you hope for in a Xenoblade 2 Definitive Edition? Better tutorials? More Blade variety? Noah and Mio as Blades? New extra side story?
There are some of you who still think Xenoblade X is a standalone series. It is clear that they are adding new story content especially end story content to soft retcon and fully connect the series. Future redeemed radio scene should've already proven this yet you still wont believe it. What will it take for you to change your mind? Guess we will find out this March, better meet me back here, I wanna see yall admit it.
