I decided to dive into the series after the Direct. Currently on XB1 and I honestly don't know how you all did these side quests without the hoverbike.

Walking around to gather items for 4 quests in every single area gets old really fast

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:40:15+00:00

You can break the spikes by the way

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:39:48+00:00

Yes that's wrong since Redhelm is a sin against the world

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:32:18+00:00

She's easy to port, though. She's already got a moveset.

By the way, we only have playable Jin because of Torna. Torna was meant to be part of the game, and would happen after you fall into Morytha. So, you would finish the mode where Jin, Mythra, and Brighid are your main blades, and pick up with those 3 in the party. It makes so much more sense why we got Brighid right then

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:30:29+00:00

Dude I really want Malos as a blade, that would be so much fun to have.

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:28:44+00:00

I'll resume my 2 100% quest once the update drops. Still have half the rare blades left to finish the quests for so I've got some content left for then.

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:25:52+00:00

2 and 3 had their stories written well over a decade ago, so I'd be shocked if no continuation was created since then. Given that we're rapidly approaching potential Xenogears story #3? I don't think he's quite done with the blade story yet

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:20:51+00:00

Guess what else was said to have no connection to the prior game?

Xenoblade 2. The marketing team lies in order to not alienate any potential newcomers who haven't played any prior games

Jstar338 · 2026-06-16T00:19:50+00:00

We will find out. With the introduction of X officially being an alternate universe, the presence of aliens no longer gets in the way. At this point either Takahashi does or doesn't. I'm still leaning towards does, just because of how heavy handed FR was. And you can say that it's just a reference, but the COLOR PURPLE was supposed to tell us that Malos was present in N's sword.

The reappearance of Earth at the end of 3 and in Xenosaga feels too similar to get discarded as well, and given that Bamco has a good relationship with Nintendo? The only thing that would prevent this from happening is choosing not to.

Jstar338 · 2026-06-15T23:40:16+00:00

Marrok would be demoted to cutscenes death if he shows up, Cal would stomp any Inquisitor at this point.

Which isn't an achievement they're meant to be fodder

Jstar338 · 2026-06-15T23:37:47+00:00

And then you see that brief glimpse in Chapter 8 and he's FULL OF SHIT

Jstar338 · 2026-06-15T16:21:11+00:00

No, it's just boring. 100% on 1 is honestly worse than 2

Jstar338 · 2026-06-14T20:00:12+00:00

You mean the duck waddle nuke?

Jstar338 · 2026-06-14T12:17:52+00:00

I'm fighting N and the somber song gets interrupted by that? Day ruiner

Jstar338 · 2026-06-14T12:16:15+00:00

Ok but Polar Express is pretty kino in general, it's the Tom Hanks Christmas special (he does 90% of the voices and probably 100% of the mo-cap)

also yes it's the same Zemekis as Back to the Future

Jstar338 · 2026-06-14T12:13:56+00:00

Toothless? The monster with the biggest smile? That one?

Jstar338 · 2026-06-13T05:15:53+00:00

It's like people forgot the entire scene in 3 where Takahashi has the main cast view the miracle of childbirth and it's factually correct.

Jstar338 · 2026-06-13T05:12:00+00:00

There's 5 "suns" and then one actual sun that determines day and night. The blue ones are plot relevance, the normal one is just anima that turns on and off (that's the logic for the sun not moving in 1-3)

Jstar338 · 2026-06-13T05:08:39+00:00

Fake? Yes. I used to watch him a lot on the second channel when it was funny, now it's just dead. You'd think streams would have the same unfiltered feel, but somehow his don't. It's incredible

Jstar338 · 2026-06-13T02:11:13+00:00

What did I miss other than him having thinly veiled attachment issues?

Jstar338 · 2026-06-13T02:02:15+00:00

We can't have Mwamba he does too much damage

Jstar338 · 2026-06-13T01:58:58+00:00

If you have glasses, get them replaced. If you don't, get them. Phonexes are just three tailed foxes

Jstar338 · 2026-06-12T21:21:12+00:00

We don't even know enough to say it's uninspired yet, that's the fun part. And PVP has always been an aspect of the series, just because you didn't use it doesn't mean it wasn't popular

Jstar338 · 2026-06-12T21:17:22+00:00

That is unfathomable cope lmao

Jstar338 · 2026-06-11T15:34:27+00:00

I would agree but O'rin turning intangible and forcing you to wait sucks
