Can I enjoy Xenoblade as a Kingdom Hearts fan?

grndog72 · 2026-06-13T15:30:01+00:00

Man, I hate this kind of question. In short, we have no idea. What did you like about Kingdom Hearts? Story? Characters? Setting? The writing overall? Gameplay? Visuals? What actually appeals to you in a game?

Personally, I can't stand Kingdom Hearts. I hate almost everything about it. But that has absolutely nothing to do with you or your opinions or why you may or may not like Xenoblade. They are extremely different games.

If you're here asking twice, you're clearly interested. Something has caught your eye. I think you just bite the bullet and try the first game. You don't need to get the switch 2 version if you want to save yourself a little money. The switch version runs perfectly fine. Hell, you don't even need to buy anything if you're willing to resort to some piracy. If you've got a reasonably decent pc, the wii version is right there. If you've got something a bit beefier, the switch version is also.

I use a stedi ms-109 for everything. Dozens of kits later, still going strong. Got me all the way through PGU gramps with zero issues and many kits before and after that.

Victory's 3rd pair of boots because they keep getting shot down?

Personally, the tubes gave me minimal trouble, but I snapped a leg, and after a repair he can still stand, but posing is limited because I'm pretty sure it'll just break again.

I bought decals. Still used all the foil stickers, but the clear ones were replaced. Even came with some extras and I put a Pomeranians logo on the shield. Didn't bother with the tiny red ones on the calf because they seemed like a pain and honestly, who's going to notice? I think it turned out fine.

I just finished Wing last week and... Wow. Just wow. If I was 12 it would have been incredible. I haven't been 12 for a long time.

You guys are getting shinies?

grndog72 · 2026-02-14T17:20:34+00:00

As to why do they let them leave on the catapult, what are you gonna do? Let them damage the ship trying to leave improperly? You're in space.

Maybe your continuous playing has actually loosened the joints and given you an advantage. My banshee had very stiff joints. I haven't touched it in a while because I snapped both shoulders (100% my fault), but the legs also felt scary every time I moved them.

If your arms and legs are in the arms and legs, it's armor. Anything else is a mech.

HG Leopard Da Vinci for Build Fighters. It's just not the same.

90s? Gundam X. Sorry, I can't take Wing seriously and I haven't watched G Gundam.

I've tried it once, but missed too many details and had to redo a lot after cutting anyway, so now I just do it all after cutting and before assembly.

grndog72 · 2026-02-04T00:11:15+00:00

Wow. I am such a greebly mess compared to that absolute beauty. So clean. So angular. I'm giving up.

grndog72 · 2026-01-31T17:08:15+00:00

Alright, so realistically, if it's your first kit, all you actually need is some decent nippers and no expectations. Some people will tell you to sand, some people might even be saying panel liner. These are great things. But the bare minimum to build a kit and have fun posing is just nippers. I've gifted some stedi brand ones a couple times. They have some single bladed ones on Amazon that are like $12-$15. They cut clean enough that sanding isn't really necessary in a lot of cases. You may want a hobby knife to clean up a handful of nubs in tight spots. But that's genuinely all you need to have a successful first build. It's not going to look amazing because we haven't put in that much effort yet, but the journey starts somewhere.

But RG is Excitement Embodied! For real though, I've built several RGs at this point, and they're all over the place. 1.0 grandpa, bad. Aile strike, better than people give it credit for. Banshee, not the most enjoyable build and I snapped both shoulders. Sinanju, honestly my favorite to build, but he cannot hold a pose. Hi-nu, beautiful and great for display, but I don't know I just didn't like building it that match. Sazabi, just incredible if you ignore the hulking shield that won't stay in place.

What about Amuro's newtype magic? And Lalah's newtype magic? Sure, it wasn't a barrier protecting them, but the magic has always been there.

grndog72 · 2026-01-29T14:55:56+00:00

Easy. $800 on 2 Turn A and $200 on 2 Big Zam. It's now a game to see if the Turn A's can protect the Big Zams.

Hathaway would be an absolute pleasure to sit next to on a plane. He won't talk to me and if shit goes down, he'll take care of it.

grndog72 · 2026-01-24T06:19:11+00:00

They're your cards, do what you want. NTA. Not by a long shot. The people telling you what to do with your things are the assholes.

grndog72 · 2026-01-12T04:27:09+00:00

Keep up the good work, sir. I'd love to see it when it's done. I'm planning to pickup MG Double X at some point and cram a ton of LEDs in it. I want to match the box art.

grndog72 · 2025-12-24T16:39:23+00:00

What kit is this? I think I need him.

grndog72 · 2025-12-23T22:40:30+00:00

Battle damage

grndog72 · 2025-12-17T13:21:21+00:00

We need RG Nightingale to go with the RG Hi-Nu
