@TheBigBlue yeah... the site does that sometimes lol

Dude when to go buy dbz breakers, and forgot to spend the gold points, my god whyyyy! ):

@Eagly PS5 likely won't happen, but I would like to build a decent PC before too long. Not only for gaming, but a bit of sandbox-y game development on the side too. Either way, GoW is certainly a series I'd like to dive into sometime.

I did all the Hero and Ascension quests available in base XC3 and would like to grab the DLC heroes as well when I get it. That said, I'm biding my time until the story DLC releases. From what little we've glimpsed so far, it will be VERY interesting... especially for those who played the other games. Class grinding was a pain after awhile, but that was before I realized experience wasn't gained for it if the group was too over leveled. One of the very few complaints I had about the game.

@Sunsy I did participate in some Sonic Dash events, but I also played to earn characters/upgrades in general. Some score chasing too. I had more time back then, namely because I didn't make fitness a priority and also worked closer to where I live.

IIRC, Pokemon Shuffle on 3DS was way more lenient with gems from what I've read. You could get hung up, but not to where you couldn't progress. The mobile variant is definitely way less merciful in this regard after a point. I will say that Pokemon Go makes it pretty easy to play without paying - I've never put real money into the game - though they've been trending more into exclusive passes and content gated behind paid tickets for certain events. Usually nothing that can't be missed, but sometimes they put a shiny legendary unobtainable elsewhere behind them....

I go on Reddit for one minute and I see this.

This is fake, such beauty doesn’t exist.

@blindsquarel that person is forgetting three versions Pi, Education, and the very obscure Pocket lite.

@Eagly Sorry, are you saying it should be higher or lower than T?
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Also, makes it a win-win situation for me, if you're right then we get to actually see something I'd quite like and if you're wrong I can make you look really weird.
@Snatcher So, who's your favourite character in it?

@Eagly ok so I somehow never got a notification for you post, so sorry for missing it lol.

I know like one or two spoilers but I can only remember one of them well, other than that my experience has been perfect.

I love her so much too, but something tells me there’s going to be some reason to take her off the team, I know there’s gonna be something, with how much this game is throwing at me, i wouldn’t even be surprised if I don’t want to use her anymore.

Oh no I love them, I think they’re actually really unique! It’s just Tera’s battle lines that get really, really repetitive, and I know that’s the case for literally everybody else, it’s just his, I don’t know, it gets a little tiring, just a little, Now Nia , she will never get tiring.

I always, always go subs, and it’s so rare that a dub is better then. Sub, but that just tells you how good it is!

Yeah I have definitely gotten used to it, it’s way better than before that’s for sure! It was just at the start, like it sounded really bad.

“But the that most radiates from xenoblade for me it it’s quality. Everything in the game is in service to the world and player. The graphics even in 1 which is a remastered wii game are breathtakingly beautiful. The character models especially look so good sometimes I forget that xenoblade is a Nintendo switch game. Then of course you have amazing character dialogue and interactions it’s just fun to hear these guys talk they feel like a somewhat dysfunctional but very loving family. Then you that is bolstered by the incredible voice acting which does have the occasional hiccup but is some of the best modern voice acting based om the accents alone. Then you have music both instrumental and vocal like drifting souls which all sounds superb. And I haven’t even talked about the story which like all xenoblade games only gets better as it goes on. Oh yeah and the gameplay is amazing almost forgot that when praising everything else about this franchise. One undeniable thing no matter which xenoblade game you are playing is tthe artistic integrity of its creators. Down to every rock and blade of grass. And I noticed I did actually forget character design and I will say Xenoblade characters are incredible memorable visually as I said a few weeks back. Just look at Pyra/Brighid. Both are story fire blades and they both look incredible and nothing alike. Xenoblade is a good franchise”

And with this you summed up the quality vary well, this game, is just so high in quality it’s crazy, so much care put into it by the devs artist, just everybody, and it just shows that games like Pokémon only look the way they do because they just don’t care or try, xenoblade looks like it could be on the PlayStation, it’s insane, and I said playstation ok as in Universal.

@TeaCatherine It’s so hard to say for sure right now, but if I had to pick one absolute, Nia, like if I had to take one, nia, I love her so much! She is a great character, which is crazy because I disliked her at first.

Though I think this could change so before I have a for sure favorite I think I need to finish the game first, because my feeling for everyone keeps changing whenever new lore gets brought up.

Oh yeah they said that, is it a spoilery reason for why you guys think it shouldn’t be T oooor something else? Or is the story just that mature?

I know it's not addressed to me but I'm Team Nia too... though I also have a soft spot for Zeke since he's just an adorable goofball. So is Pyra to be honest, her kindness is something we can all take inspiration from. For me it's a case of which characters I don't like rather than which is my favourite

@TheJGG Who doesn't love Zeke and Welsh catgirls?

@Snatcher I was mostly saying that about 3 and to be honest I was more referring to the fact that over here in the UK the whole series has the same age rating as like Ocarina of Time and stuff (12+).
Nice to see a fellow Nia fan, by the way.

@Eagly Yeah, but over here the whole Xenoblade series is the same age rating as Super Smash Bros and that seems wrong to me.

Not me, that's for sure XD The whole cast is strong as Eagly says too, but that's a common trait among all three mainline Xenoblade games anyway. But the character writing is at its best in 2 and 3 since we get lots of character moments and subversions. Their dynamic also feels a lot tighter as a result, and you get special moments where they bounce off each other really well. In 3 I feel like the cutscenes don't make it very subtle though, since some scenes are just random convos between two characters. I'm still mixed on Sena, though that's a whole other debate!

But the writing itself is very mature, and it suits the dark tone of 3 overall. The thing about the use of a dark tone is that it's still possible to give us happy moments and 3's moments are perhaps the happiest in the series, or at least the gap in tone is.

@Eagly Yeah, PEGI are weird. (I do think Mythra looks better with leggings though.) Actually, now you mention it, he did remind me of Shulk and Fiora design-wise so I suppose it's possible. The ones I hope are real are most of the ones about peoples parents and stuff and the Pyra/Mythra/Nia/Rex one.

@Kermit1 @Eagly @TeaCatherine

Hope you slept well after all, I humbly apologize for my inexcusable behavior yesterday

@Eagly Yes, I unironically do want that.
@ComfyAko You are forgiven.

@ComfyAko idk what happened sooo.... You are forgiven?

@Eagly your pfp is unforgivable

@Eagly There any heroes you want to see in this thing the DLC won't be? Also, Eunie babysitting who? On the third point at the end of 1, at the very least Fiora should have stayed a cyborg.
