@Snatcher responding to this took a bit longer than I thought it would and in the process I may have gotten tired and made some big grammatical errors I will try to find em but any I miss I will be more than happy to clarify

take a game that everyone wants on switch Mario galaxy 2. People will undoubtedly purchase the game look at the sales of the mario 3D all stars collection or anecdotally peoples love of it on social media. We probably do not have time for another mario game on switch assuming that the successor to it comes out in a year to two years Thats an awful long time without a new mainline mario game. Why not remaster galaxy 2 to hold us over till the switches successor everyone would be as exited about it as a new release and it would cost nintendo less money since they already have an effect wii/gamecube emulator. Ports/emulation is a win win consumers get more products nintendo gets more money. You know like the whole idea of capitalism

Xenoblade is perfect at setting stuff up there is no wasted time. You see these other games even other amazing really well regarded games stall story progress by giving you a series of fetch quests or a boss you have to grind to beat in order to extend the time playing the game. Xenoblade dosen’t do it everything in the main story exists for a reason. The only issue is the side content which is pretty mediocre other than the blade quests. One of the best things about 3 is the side quests are written with the passion of the main story. Every side quest is worth playing meaning xenoblade’s one noticeable flaw is nonexistent in 3.

As for the character designs I am going to be honest it’s not like xenoblade or the xeno series was ever some pure wholesome franchises with innocent character designs

The game does have more fanscervice than the other xeno games but compared to everything great about it the fanscervice is more than overlookable not to mention it makes sense in the lore blades are hot because Klaus wanted them to be appealing to humans. I can enjoy the games and not let some revealing character designs distract me. As for smash I think thats more just because the smash fanbase is incredibly toxic they will find any reason to attack any character that isn’t the specific dlc character they want I realize this is getting a bit rambly now but this video sums up my opinions on smash fans better than I could (naughty words)

It’s fine if people get uncomfortable and personally don’t want to play the games but it gets excessive after awhile. And not being spoiled is always a great feeling

Same I completely neglected this franchise if it wasn’t for covid brain we I may not have recommended 2 to you. It’s a (I guess Jrpg is offensive to some Japanese developers) character driven Rpg. They just don’t catch on here too anime or foreign for many people to risk the investment . Video games are 60 dollar investments especially Nintendo games that don’t drop in value. Why risk purchasing xenoblade if you dislike it you just wasted $60 which is alot of money for people. Now compare it to Pokémon sure the games have some flaws but they are the mcdonalds of gaming you know what the game will be like and you will know that you will enjoy it to some degree. There are probably millions of people who would absolutely adore xenoblade but the $60 hurdle is just too much for them better to play safe then end up with $60 down the drain. Like I have siad a few times now I grew tired of Pokémon dropping the ball with switch releases I wanted a change and xenoblade was the game I chose to invest in. And now I have played too many JRPG’s on a somewhat related note I probably should mention that if you want an experience very similar to xenoblade 2 while also completely different I recommend Nier

People will buy the Pokémon dlc at ridiculously high prices and so why not sell it at those prices ? The disgusting part is Pokémons dlc is 35 dollars and xenoblade 3’s is 30 and Xenoblade 3’s dlc will probably end up being a better designed and longer game than base Pokémon games on switch

one thing about Amalthus though is you have to give him some props look at the size of world tree he managed to climb it. It’s probably what drove him insane

Nia’s voice is perfectly sassy I love it. I am sure her Japanese actress has done an amazing job but I cant give up the angry welsh catgirl her dub work is that amazing

I would be really enjoy some comic about the 2 of them trying to manage a perfume shop. Morag would both grow the plants and hunt them in some cases like those giant ones while Brighid applies her knowledge of perfumes to turn said plants into money add in a romance between them and yeah it would be great . As for zeke he managed to find the perfect family. Zeke despite presented as comedic and having the crazy uncle energy has a pretty sad story and is surprisingly wise. He dropped one of the most important lines in the game to rex she’s your girl you have to quit whining and respect her choices. His luck just magnifies his comedic qualities when really he is pretty nuanced a banished prince who’s family hates him

I think the xenoblade franchise is kind of a hidden gem 3 million a game definitely isn’t the greatest showing a game can have. Luckily the franchise is getting more mainstream appeal it got on TGA that is really good for the health of the franchise. M prime is also an amazing game I have been told but I am glad you got xenoblade instead it’s nice to have another convert and I can’t wait to see your reactions to 1 torna and 3.

I definitely would not consider myself a shipper I don’t really get invested into the relationships of fictional characters as usually it isn’t what I care about in fiction. I am much more interested in seeing the characters saving the world rather than who they want to date. Xenoblade 2 is different I genuinely like these characters and want to see them have happy fulfilling endings. And as for M&B come on they are perfect for each other. Brighid is practically confirmed to be Bi they care deeply for each other and Brighid has said so many things that imply she wants a romantic relationship with morag. And morag isn’t necessarily romantically interested in her during the events of 2 but that’s just morag she has trouble being close to anyone and despite that she was still incredibly close to Brighid. As I said the 2 are the obvious opposites attract couple with the solider and the lady being a common and great trope . I could definitely see a romance form between the 2 and as long as it’s never confirmed or denied I’m gonna ship it and remember Yippee.

And yeah the memes about them say alot it shows something when your ship can be commuicated trough them. If 2 characters relationships are fleshed out enough for head cannons and memes then I understand ships forming I have more memes I’ll post them later because I fear If I navigate from this page it will crash and I am tired

He is such a boring character it’s not funny it’s like the writers put all the personality into Brighid and then remembered he exists again theres a reason no one ships Brighid and him despite hypothetically them being able to have great romantic chemistry which is not explored in game

he dosen’t want to do it but he has to hurt people. That’s what makes him tragic the idea that literally anyone except for the psychopath could have made malos turn out alright. Instead he was just an uncontrollable mistake made by Amalthus that makes it incredibly tragic.

Nia is amazing I really can’t argue against her being the best her voice as I said earlier is perfect and xenoblade is amazing at dubs and this is the game with the dubs everyone dislikes now imagine what the other games are like

Ragnarok was an amazing sequel I enjoyed every second I played it. I legitimately couldn’t tell you if I enjoyed it of Xenoblade 3 more it was one of my favorite game in years. Ragnarok is a perfect experience from the opening to the slaying of the final boss. I couldn’t give it enough recommendations and I give it a 9/10 because to be objective I can’t give a 10/10 to a gamw I had to wait a month to finish because of glitches. I don’t want to go into the plot but it was amazing the characters were amazing the graphics amazing music amazing gameplay amazing etc. It is a masterpiece and worth your time

Take as many beaks as you need spending too much time on online forums isn’t healthy. I will get to bloodborne at some point I have been wanting to play dark souls for a while but I have loose ends to clean up in GOW first
