@Yosher Oh wow, that is a big difference in terms of progress! Can't wait to hear your thoughts as you continue!

The XC2 DLC is a pretty interesting case. You essentially have 3 different ways to get it...

• You can buy it physically as a stand-alone game (If you buy it this way it'll show as a completely different game on your switch menu).
• You can buy it through the expansion pass on the eShop (this is the cheapest method. If you have XC2 save data then the price for this drops to $30). Doing this won't make the game show up separately on the switch menu. Instead, you'll be able to access it on the main menu of XC2
• You can buy it digitally as a stand-alone. Doing this is pretty much the same thing as the physical release...except digital lol.

@Yosher It always makes me happy seeing new people get into the series! (It's one of my personal favorites! ) But yeah, the voice acting from the smash reveal trailer is pretty in line with the XC2 voice acting for the most part. I don't really think the acting itself was bad it just had poor voice direction at times. Rex sort of falls flat on some of the intense scenes early game (especially compared to shulk) but I think he does improve a bit as the game goes on. But of course, you can be the judge whenever you get XC2.

I made it to Disc 2 in Xenogears (50 hours in now) and holy crap so much happened! The end of disc 1 was really wild...between the truth about the Soylent system, Citan revealing his true intentions, Hammer betraying the party and killing Elly's mother (I REALLY didn't think he was going to do it), and finding out that Fei was actually Id the entire time...man I have no words and that wasn't even everything! I'm currently on the second dungeon in Disc 2 and you know this Disc isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. At this point in the game I'm really eager to have to rest of my questions answered. Hopefully I can finish the game this weekend!

I really can't see the Elder Scrolls 6 coming to switch outside of a cloud version.

Xenoblade OSTs are so good that listening to the music early also somehow feels like a spoiler 😂

Welp...looks like I won't be getting one of these

Lmao that Bayonetta 3 bullet list is funny when you see all the updates over the years compiled together.

I've been slowly making my way through Xenogears I haven't made too much progress but I think I'm currently 39 hours in. I'm quite eager to get to disk 2 because I always hear such mixed opinions about it lol.

Earlier this week I also started CrossCode I was really enjoying it for the first few hours. I was doing a whole bunch of side quests and having a great time. However, I just got to the first main dungeon, and man...it's pretty long. It isn't exactly a turn-off but I'm not normally a fan of super long dungeons 😅

I'm gonna be honest...I have officially reached a point where playing other games just isn't as fun anymore because I just want to get my hands on this one 😅

OH MY GOD I FOUND MY OLD FLIPNOTE PROFILE 🤣🤣🤣

Flipnote Hatena was my life back then! For such a long time it was the main reason why I used my DSi. So many of my current interests came from there lol.

Co-op battle tower is all I want

I'm 35 hours into Xenogears and I'm currently at the raid of Shevat . I've gotta be honest here I think I'm starting to get a little bit tired of the gameplay. The combat was pretty fun up to this point but admittedly it's starting to get a bit tedious now that I've got just about all the deathblows 😅

I'll push through to keep up with the story though!

Oh my gosh if the switch ends up getting all the Ys and Trails games I'm going to be so happy. Ys VIII is one of my favorite games on the system.

I am now roughly 30 hours into Xenogears. I was playing a lot on Thursday night and oh my God I just couldn't stop playing 😂 I was up until like 2 AM. I just finished the part where Billy and the party get back to the Ethos HQ where we find everyone has been killed. I'm very eager to get back into it this weekend, the only reason I stopped was because I needed to sleep at least a little bit 😂

Also it's quite interesting how so many games don't have the option to resize the text. I didn't realize this until now.

I was quite impressed with how many customizable features Xenoblade 2 added through it's DLC. Having control over how much HP an enemy has, how hard they hit, etc. is something I haven't seen many games do. Also they added the ability to turn off enemy aggression which makes exploring so much easier.

I hope stuff like this is available from the get go in Xenoblade 3

I can't wait to play this and see what the hype is about! I've been looking forward to it since it was announced for switch!

IDK why but "GrandMother" sounds so funny to me 😂

I'm currently 20 hours into Xenogears and man this game is getting quite interesting! I think I'm about halfway into disc 1? So far so good!

Why does voice of cards only get 20% off? I was kinda hoping for a bit bigger discount 😅

I never understood how people play games like this without the wrist straps lol. Even on the Wii, it used to bother me if I didn't put it on.

I am currently 12 hours into my first playthrough of Xenogears! It's really fun so far! It's quite funny because normally I would say I hate wild encounters but Xenogears is probably one of the exceptions that I'd make. I love doing the combos and so far the battles haven't been too long!

I'm loving the amount of combat related information that's being shown! My hype for the game keeps going up 😂

I NEED THIS GAME!

I have only ever played Star Fox 64 but I really loved that one.

Earlier this week I finished Final Fantasy VIII. I know this one is a bit divisive and I did have a few complaints here and there but honestly, I enjoyed it! I really loved using the junction system and playing the card mini game 😂.

Now I've decided to start a game that I've wanted to play for a very long time and that is Xenogears! I have only heard good things about this game and I'm quite curious to see what the hype is about! Hoping I can finish this one before Xenoblade 3 comes out!

The new interlink system looks freaking amazing!! I'm REALLY looking forward to getting my hands on it! It looks like you can Daze enemies like in Xenoblade 1 AND Launch them like in Xenoblade 2!

DUDE So many games get delayed and Xenoblade 3 gets released EARLIER than it's anticipated release date OMG

They gave us another trailer already?? Dang I ain't complaining 😂😂

@AndyC_MK111 Atlus themselves also stated that they were satisfied with the sales of SMT V back when it hit 800k so I really don't know why these other guys are acting like it was a flop.

So I'm continuing through Final Fantasy VIII and I'm currently on Disc 3! So far so good! Funny story though I was looking up some guides on the GFs (Guardian Forces) and I guess Google doesn't understand what "GF" means so the related questions will come up as stuff like

"What is the strongest girlfriend in FF8?"

"Which magic should I junction to my girlfriend?"

"How do I boost my girlfriend in FF8?"

"How many girlfriends are in FF8?"

🤣🤣🤣

@Gamer_Zeus

I don't care for this game, i dunno why they insist on releasing more of these games, the entire franchise has sold less than 5m copies. 4 games with less than 5m sales between them isn't good.

This isn't true. Yes it's a smaller seller but the Xenoblade franchise actually has broke 5 million within 3 games (there's isn't 4 games unless you count Torna but there's no official numbers for that).

Xenoblade 1 lifetime sales: 3 million
Xenoblade 2 lifetime sales: 2.05 million
Xenoblade X lifetime sales: 840k

I've seen people say they don't know why this series continues but it's pretty simple. Even though it isn't the best selling series from Nintendo, it's the best selling franchise from Monolith Soft so they continue to make games for it. It's the same reason why Kirby gets more games despite being a modest seller like Xenoblade.

I know you said they should make a new IP but Nintendo has shot down most of Monolith Softs ideas which make them even more likely to just focus on this series for the time being. (They wanted to make an M rated title a few years back).

@Lizuka I have a dumb theory that they do this to show which ones are connected story wise. Maybe if Xenoblade X gets a sequel it'll look closer to the Xenoblade X cover? 🤔

I seriously cannot wait for this game omg! Xenoblade 1 and 2 are both some of my favorite RPGs of all time. Seeing how Xenoblade 3 ties the futures of the two previous games together means that this could definitely end up being my favorite Xenoblade game and it excites me to no end 😂

I really love the trigger buttons (ZL and ZR). On the pro controller, they feel really nice to press.

I've been continuing Final Fantasy VIII and I just made it to the end of disc 1 on Thursday. I have to be honest, so far I'm very thoroughly enjoying it and I don't quite understand why it's so divisive. Personally, I really enjoy the junction system and the card minigame. Not to mention stealing the train with the Forest Owls, and trying to assassinate the sorceress was super fun. I guess I'll find out why as I continue but so far I love it.

Last night I came home and I was planning on continuing FF8 but I had a new idea for a build in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition so I told myself I would only test it out for 30 minutes. Well, I ended up playing it for like 3 hours lol. I'm telling you even after 100% completion I always get sucked back into it!

I'm really looking forward to Live A Live being on this list

Lego Star Wars and Wii Sports both returning this month...my childhood is coming back! lol

I'm not sure how much I'll get to play this weekend but I'll try to continue Final Fantasy VIII and maybe a little bit of Super Castlevania IV.

It's really funny seeing everyone talk about how bad E3 was last year. When I think of last years E3 the first thing that comes to my mind is Nintendos Direct and the Metroid Dread announcement so I remember it being pretty good. I completely forgot about all the other companies that presented and how disappointing they were lol😅

Honestly, I think the holiday title for this year will be the new pokemon games.

I can't say I'm surprised lol but hey 2022 is still stacked with new games so I'm not immensely disappointed

Last night I actually finished two games. I finished Fossil Fighters which was a fantastic game. I can't believe I haven't heard of it until now. Idk if it'll happen but I would like to see a Fossil Fighters game on switch sometime! I might try Fossil Fighters: Champions later in the future!

The other game I finished was God of War: Chains of Olympus. This was my first God of War game and it was alright. It was shorter than I thought it would be and nothing really stood out to me.

During the weekend I'm likely going to continue Final Fantasy VIII. I can't lie though...I've had this big craving to play Xenogears lately as well but I don't want to play multiple JRPGs at the same time 😅

I'm currently playing through Final Fantasy VIII (seriously the card mini game is so fun 😂) and I've heard a lot of hype behind Triangle Strategy so I also started the demo for that game! Really enjoying both so far!

I would actually buy arms if there was more content. I pretty much beat the game during the free trial period they had for it lol

Last night I managed to finish Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna The Golden Country to 100% completion! I did this on ng+ so I maxed out everyone's new affinity charts as well! Honestly in my first playthrough I remember being very annoyed that they made side quests mandatory so I kinda just mashed through the text on most of them. However on my second playthrough I gave each side quest my full focus and I realized a majority of these side quests are actually pretty enjoyable and better written than usual Xenoblade side quests imo (outside of Xenoblade X ofc). The food contest side quest in particular was absolutely hilarious to me 😂

Wow! This actually looks really good and it comes out this year to! Man, I still haven't gotten around to Triangle Strategy yet 😅

I've always considered a game beaten when the credits roll. Thankfully I don't ever feel the need to complete a game to 100% completion to consider it "finished". Some games are just nightmares for completionists. I myself can't imagine trying to find all the Korok seeds 😂

Getting pretty close to the end of my 100% completion playthrough of Xenoblade 2: Torna The Golden Country. I'm also on chapter 5 of Fossil Fighters!
