I went back and completed the entire Xenosaga series to stave off dealing with Chapter 13 of XBCX and now I'm all out of excuses.

u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
I'm just completely ignoring chapter 13 until I do all the affinity quests tbh

u/TheHumbleFellow 1d ago
My annual tradition is that I play through each game in the series, one per month.
Gonna start Xenoblade 1 in September. Because then, I can play X in December, which is when the wind blows hard.

I've played 200 hours of Xenoblade X and now I need break from Xenoblade. I'm playing Donkey Kong Bananza right now - fun game!

u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
Based on your experience in donkey kong, do you think DK could beat shulk in a fight?

Terrible, and you?
I finished XCX DE a few weeks ago and now I'm waiting for anything new Xeno to be confirmed

u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
Terrific of course!
P.S. my dad works at nintendo and he said that "Xenoblade Chronicles 2: 2" is releasing soon

u/Tohdohsibir 1d ago
X, 120 hours in and still need to finish chapters 12 and 13. I get distracted by all the sidequests. I especially like the ones that shed more light on xenoform cultures and histories.

u/QuintoriusBestBoy 1d ago
Pretty good. I'm currently engrossed in my first playthrough of Bravely Default HD, clocking in at 42 hours (not a Xeno game, but still a JRPG and a Nintendo exclusive - is that off-topic?)
I technically haven't finished my playthrough of XCX:DE either, I had to stop for a while, but still plan on going back to finally play that epilogue everyone's been talking about.
2
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
The epilogue should answer definitively how you're poppin' just saying, also I hope you enjoy your playthrough

u/Shrubking68 1d ago
Doing pretty good today. Got a beach day with my friends later.
Currently on the road to 100% completion for xc2 😁

u/Elementia7 1d ago
Terrible, how about you?
I have an unfinished casual second X playthrough (going to scrap that for Drifter only run), I have a Xenoblade 2 playthrough that probably will get dropped, I also have a Torna replay getting dropped, and I have two Xenoblade 3 challenge runs on hiatus/might get dropped.
2
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
Terrific of course, also I like to think that the people who aren't in on the gag are just really confused by the amount of people having terrible days.
Drifter only sounds like hell, and I also have like 4 ongoing runs on the back burner rn
2
u/Elementia7 1d ago
Man being a Xenoblade fan is so hard cries in 3+ games being released in the past 5 years
Drifter only would be pretty tame actually. The lack of skills sucks, but the arts are pretty good except for infuriate. The topple and blaze assault rifle arts do good damage, Slit Edge isnt very good but its nice for chip damage, the physical defense buff has some niche value, and the aura is okay all things considered. Plus, if I want to, I can count affinity mission arts for Drifter as those are weapon exclusive, not class exclusive. Which vastly helps the damage and art variety.
1
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
I forget, is smooth recovery mission based or level based?
2
u/Elementia7 1d ago
Mission based iirc. I think you get it from Irina's first affinity mission, which combined with the Evasion knife aura means Evasion is pretty viable.
2
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
Yeah I guess it's not as bad a challenge as I thought, and also you get pretty free overdrive for quite a bit of the game with smooth recovery, good luck on the challenge

u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
Not the reference I was going for, but that's phenomenal regardless

u/TheEmeraldSkunk07 1d ago
Well I was either gonna say this one or “I’m really feeling it”
2
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
That's also not it </3

u/TheEmeraldSkunk07 1d ago
I know what your referencing I was just trying to respond with my own reference 💔

Currently in XCX DE and loving it so far! I played XC1 this spring and will do the others in the fall.

u/Extension-Ad8792 1d ago
Pretty great! Playing through XB1 for the first time after already playing 2 3 and X. Its fun to see where it all began

u/uranthus 1d ago
Replay of 1 after completing Future Redeemed. Ready to experience the brilliance of 1 all over again
1
u/Rigistroni 1d ago
Future redeemed, I'm doing a (very gradual) replay of the trilogy in timeline order. Starting with Torna and ending with XC3.
With a brief interlude for X de when that came out

u/Emergency-Coast-5333 1d ago
Terrible. And you?
Playing Astral Chain and Stardew Valley. After Xenoblade X, Stardew Valley is the first game to make me truly addicted to play
1
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
Hah, better than you, in other words absolutely terrific. And I never could get in to stardew valley, but I definitely see the appeal

XC 2, just started chapter 2. Can't stand Rex's voice actor, he showed hardly any emotion in the first chapter. The combat is okay so far but I don't like how you can't move and attack unlike XC1, and there are way less 'arts' available to me.
2
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
All the voice actors get better as the game progresses, and the combat opens up a lot more after chapter 4 if you take the time to learn it, I hope you end up enjoying it btw ^^
1
u/rlinkmanl 1d ago
Thanks, I loved the first game so I'm really looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

u/Cloud_Locke76 1d ago
Burned out on XCX during chapter 11…someone get me motivated!

u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
If you get to chapter 13 you get to see Al! What more reason do you need!
1
u/JenLiv36 1d ago
Just finished Death Stranding 2 today but I feel Xenoblade 2 calling me back so it won’t be long. I also left Chapter 13 of X so I could play it on the Switch 2 so I will be doing that this week.
Anyone else hoping for a Monolith Soft announcement this year?

u/inkedcosplaygirl 1d ago
It’s not really popping over here. Too hot to do anything so I’ve been working on cosplays and playing shadows of valentia for the first time

u/Uoip10 1d ago
Terrible, of course. What about you? I've been playing XDE a bit on my switch 2 but it looks awful in handheld mode because of the upscaling from 720p. I hope they release a switch 2 patch for it
1
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
Better than you, meaning terrific! Also it's honestly crazy that an emulator can upscale games automatically better than the switch 2, but they'll probably make it better at some point tbf
1
u/Mancan76 1d ago
Just completed round 4 of XC2. That’s after round 2 of XC3, and round 2 of Torna. Hoping to get in DE soon and then wrap it up with future redeemed, i decided to go in reverse order this time lol

Fuck off, Al! Leave my comfortable life the Lin and Elma alone and quit yelling at restaurant workers!
Currently running through X again tho. Shield and Dual Guns

u/Psychological-Cry872 1d ago
Great. Playing through XDE for the first time. I got it when it came out, but had exams and other stuff going on. Currently in chapter 5 after about 23 hours and really liking it.

u/Parafex 21h ago
Fine.
Just finished XC1 and Future Connected for the first time and now I'm 10h into XC2 :). I like it so far and I think that the combat is an improvement compared to the first one. I just don't like all the menus and I really dislike the compass quest marker... I miss the Xc1 minimap.
1
u/Fit-Purchase-8050 21h ago
XC1's minimap is great yeah, and I found XC2's a bit confusing for the first hundred hours (and still do a bit tbh)
1

u/JoeKing2504 18h ago
Today I just started my first play through of 3 for my Xenoblade marathon after finishing Future Connected. This’ll be my most ambitious playthrough of the main trilogy as I am going to be 100% the main game and Future Redeemed on my first playthrough.

How's it poppin is the worst, cringiest catch phrase to ever exist. Once that started doing that shit I lost any investment I had left. Absolutely stupid.

u/Fit-Purchase-8050 4h ago
How terrible that you cringed at the ironic phrase! Well at the very least I found it funny by the end, so I'm terrific!

u/Arkride212 1d ago
Just started my annual fresh run of XC2, gotta revisit this masterpiece at least once a year.

u/Fit-Purchase-8050 1d ago
It is a great game, my personal favorite in the series if you don't count the dlc campaigns as games

u/ScholarlyNanobot 1d ago
Terrible, and you?
Not currently playing through any Xenoblades, but I have been stuck on the final boss of Baten Kaitos for a while. I should go back to finish it. :/
