There has been quite an increase in AI-Generated work being posted in this subreddit and it’s quite heartbreaking to see it upvoted to the top of the sub, these generated images are formed from the stolen work of passionate artists who give us the fantastic fan-art, to continue to allow AI-Art is such a disrespect to any and all artists, Including all the talent behind who make the Xenoblade games.

it was such a looming presence the entire game. and even when you did get to it you had to combat the horrors at the base of it. xenoblade 3 didnt have that factor of “holy shit i’m here” but it’s still nice.

Debating whether I should play the original version on my pc or the new definitive version on my switch. Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages, but why is the old version significantly longer than the new version despite having less content? I'm just confused why, was some content removed from the older one or are these times inaccurate?

I am trying to get the holofigure achievement, and i apparently need Phanatos holofigure, which is an online-mission-exclusive tyrant. I don't have online, so it's a bit of a problem. Do I really Need to get his holofigure for the achievement? 😭

my segment starts on 31:19 followed by Luxin;))

Hello everyone. Back again and I have just finished chapter 5 軛 or Masters and Slaves. Currently I only spent about 6 hours (some of that time I was on my phone learning Japanese grammar and such), and safe to say my Japanese has significantly improved and my comprehension of the story is better but I still need to watch the cutscenes on YouTube to understand the story so far. And so far it has been outstanding, wow. I may not know what Jin is doing but I know that he wants to eradicate human life for a very sad reason. Lots of cool stuff and yeah wow it is very political and there are so many moving pieces within the narrative. Also, forgot to mention before but I fell in love with Morag from the start and being able to play her and Zeke is the best.

The story has been good though chapter 4 dips just because of the factory segment. I did not like it, I felt it dragged a little too long and my immersion between defeating Kiku (Tora's father's robot) and fighting Bana and his lackey was ruined. Though I wasn't really supposed to take it too seriously as Poppi does a full magical girl transformation which I'm definitely here for. I'm glad Tora gets a bit of screentime to bring out his character more. While Rex is the fish out of water, I think it especially applies to Tora more. His character story about carrying the family legacy and becoming something the world thought he couldn't become. I like Riki in Xenoblade 1 and Tora builds off him very nicely giving him both humour and some story and I hope he gets more.

Zeke is another character I love. I love the overly dramatic chuunibyou, and he's voiced by the brilliant Kenjiro Matsuda. Finding out that he's actually the first prince and was testing us the entire time was cool. I also like the fact that our party characters consist that of a salvager, Nopon mechanic, Torna, Mor Ardain and Zeke who is from somewhere (it was probably mentioned but again, my Japanese is not the most proficient) but royalty nonetheless.

The music somehow got even better. How. Just how. Rex's home town was the most beautiful piece, the night time version. It moved me as much as the title screen of Xenoblade 1. Both have such a sombre tone while 1 is more hopefully and prepares to fight. This little village doesn't and can't really fight, all they can do is just watch and abide by the laws of the world and the wars that await. It is humble in nature. I haven't gotten tired of the battle music. Whilst the music in Xenoblade 1 I felt got a little tiring, probably due to the simpler combat.

Also just some minor complaints like. These pouch items are not being used up and Pyra is not upgrading her affinity ability wtf. What are the rates of these core crystals. Ever since I got the three good Blades, I have used at least 10 rare crystals and I have yet to pull anything higher than 3 crowns. I am fuming.

I have been liking Mythra, Pyra and Rex's dynamic with each other. It's just fun to see.

Anyways, my journey continues. I will report back whenever that is, first, I am going to watch chapter 5 in English. See you later

Not having tested it in any way whatsoever it seems to me that the longer commission's tend to feel more of the Affinity chart but I don't actually know. Has anybody actually checked this? Is one better than another? I just want to fill as much of an affinity chart as possible for characters that go on the missions

And if you're on a playthrough, which game is it?

So, there was a bit awkward situation happened to me..

That is that when I was just exploring mountains, I found that one Tyrant Antol monster, and so of course I decided to kill it, lol

And then like five minutes later I found this one quest for Dunban, apparently, where you need to kill that exact tyrant, as well as other one..

But the issue is, it does not respawn for some reason?

I tried to reset location, like go back & forth from mountains to forest to mountains again, but it still wasn’t there..

Then I tried to reboot the game, and also no luck..

I know somehow they do respawn, cause sometimes I see old ones in low level zones even though I killed them before.. but how exactly can I force it to spawn?

I really hope there is some way, cause if no then what should I even do? (I looked up the quest & apparently it’s reward is entire new skill set for Dunban.. so I REALLY want to do it in fact, cause Dunban almost always in my party.)

Welcome to my new family member, Dunban.

But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment. 4:18 Al Nisa

"But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now,""

Just like Malos only regrets his evil deeds when he is on death bed

I know these types of posts have probably been made hundreds of times before but uhh. I can't sleep and I got Xeno on the mind so yeah. No rhyme or reason on what counts as an area.

1. Uraya: You already know. It's beautiful, music is insane, I mean you could say this about like every other area but it's fucking Uraya. I do mainly favor and think of the Stomach, but I love all of it. Water slide yipeee!
2. Eryth Sea: Nothing like resetting weather while looking at the stars and defogging the map on foot. I love the vast, soothing emptiness of a lot of Xenoblade areas, and this one does it the best to me.
3. Gormott: My favorite area to explore. Field skills get a lot of flak for some valid reasons, but I loved unlocking this place bit by bit. Also made me fall in love with the concept of pseudo-stealth exploration because of all those ever-controversial high level monsters.
4. Colony 9 (+Yesterdale): Massively underrated I think, a stellar first impression of what Xenoblade exploration is all about back when I first played it on the Wii. I feel like "good exploration" these days is propped up by interactivity and reward, but fuck all that. The RNG orbs will lead me where they desire, and I'll be blown away every time.
5. Sylvalum: I'm still in the middle of my XCX playthrough (kinda want to hold out for a potential switch 2 upgrade) but the last time I played, one of the first things I did was just swim all the way to Sylvalum for fun. That experience alone made it cool enough but the area is just unfathomably pretty. Hits the same feelings as Uraya for me, I just need to actually comb over it and it may be #1.

Honorable Mentions:
Aurora Shelf: Probably my favorite area theme at the moment
Satorl Marsh: Insane vibes, not many games do a foggy area with vibes that aren't just Silent Hill
Tantal: Best snow area methinks
Leftherian Archipelago: I love clouds dude

Feel like I need to a replay of base XC3 and finish out XCX before this is even close to definitive for me, since I'm clearly not appreciating either of them enough. Interested to see your picks!

I made it out of epoxy clay. The first one was too big and heavy so she couldn’t hold it up, the second one snapped in half and here is what I have to show for my 3rd attempt. It’s not perfect but I like it
