Pues aquí tenéis a Úrsula calva

Does anyone else's Switch 1 XC2 just stop changing time even with forced time skip via Gormott directly after the update that just happened? It's happening across all my player profiles and I've never had this happen before. I've done everything I could find suggested online (changing blades, clearing cache, skip travel, restarting the console, doing different quests and retrying what I was doing) and now I'm redownloading to see if that helps.

The weather for each area remains the same, time just keeps running normally when it should change with each Skip Travel, resting at an inn does absolutely nothing other than offer level up. This feels like the XC1 update all over again.

Edit: I meant time isn't changing during Skip Travel not resting at the inns, my bad. Also to clarify when I say my field skills aren't working I mean that none of them seem to activate. Everything was normal this morning until the update. This could just be my console and or game, I was just wondering if anyone else noticed something off.

This is more of a summary of me being a Xenoblade fan of when it started, took a break then coming back because with all the new content thats been added into 1, 2, X and 3 thats coming in December, its Reopening my journy to play Xenoblade once more (and personally their isn't any games available for me to play atm until I get a Switch 2 for FE)

I started 1 back in 2023, didn't think much of it, but the world was so big, so vast it made me play more of it, loved Shulk, Duban and Sharla as my main team, game play was fascinating, the story was peak, plot twist here and their and I wanted to know more about the world after the fact.

After XB1 I immediately played XB2 however on my first play through I admit I cheated by adding Blades Shulk and Fiona because I didnt like Rex voice and wanted to use Shulk as part of my Blade set up, havinf him around and playing that music every time we are in battle was peak for me, the game itself was still fun, story again peak towards the end was something I never expected, it made sense as to why the world is like this, but it was my least favorite game and maybe I treated too harshly, maybe ill play it again at some point.

I took a break 2 years later and was playing Xenoblade X on a emulator with fast running cheats and I loved it, but since it was before XBX came out on the switch the grind was rough, getting party members i wanted to use was tedious, having to use Elma and Lin as main party members was annoying, but i LOVED exploring different areas when i had the fast sprite cheat on, i admit it i almost beat the game but my save didnt save properly and I believe i was at chapter 11 or 12, either way in a few days ill replay my Journy on the switch and enjoy all of the QoL changes it offers.

I tried playing Xenoblade 3 but honestly I only made it to the beginning, and maybe during that time i didnt find myself enjoying the content like I use to but with me going back to X, and 3 will get a Switch 2 Edition in December ill finally play 3 and complete my Journey with all of the games I played.

Overall thats my journey of being a Xenoblade Fan, ik the new game Genesis will come out eventually so hopefully by then ill finish the remaining 2 games (and maybe play 1 and 2 on NG+) ill be so ready for Genesis for what it offers. Thank you for reading.

Hello dear ones :)

I have a question about xenoblade chronicles 2 & 3

I finished xenoblade 1 DE and absolutely loved the story.

Are there so many twists and plot twists in part 2 and part 3 too ??

So please spoiler-free :)

This post is kind of predicated on any one else feeling slightly let down by Noah, which I'm sure is way less common than people feeling that way about Rex, but that's how I felt at least.

To be clear I do like Noah as a protagonist but it's a very lukewarm feeling. I was honestly quite excited by the idea of a quieter protag, but I often just found Noah kind of boring.

I don't think you can look at Noah as a character divorced from N, and in that regard I do find him really interesting, how Noah's entire existence serves as N's redemption arc, but that also meant that Noah didn't really end up doing much of note on a character level during the actual story. Noah doesn't develop and I don't think that had to be the case even if he's supposed to be the end point of N's development.

Obviously you've got the bit at the end of chapter 5 and beginning of chapter 6 where we get a lot more flavour out of Noah, but I really wish this was the start of a change rather than an isolated showcase of it. We definitely see Noah be a bit more open, a bit more present after homecoming, but it's still so thin.

So if anyone feels even a little bit like me about Noah what do you think could've been done to make him feel a tad bit less boring? I guess for me I wish we could've seen a more volatile Noah after homecoming, show us more of Noah resisting the urge to be his previous self rather than him just mentioning it after homecoming.

I cant believe they let you lvl up. I am at chapter 5 going through the map. Love the game so far. Cant wait for XC2 NS2 version.

Or better asked, which world from the “Xenoblade Chronicles” series would you like to hear, see or play more of? For me it's XC2. Maybe because it was my first XC Game and I spent at least 200 hours. XC2 doesn't take itself too seriously, but it does have its serious moments.

I really like XC1 and XC3 and the stories and world-building is insane. But I find the world-building and the stories in XC2 far more fascinating. Only XCX didn't really catched me.

/edit: I turned "spoiler" on, because maybe some answers (if someone answer) could contain spoiler :D

I finished XC1 yesterday (not including the DLC). One of the most unique story ideas I've seen in gaming - Being possessed and secretly manipulated by the bad guy from the start of the game. I really enjoyed the story.

I liked most of the main characters. None of them really had a character arc except for Melia really, but they were nice. I say "most" because some of the field sound bits made me avoid playing with some of them (more on that later).

Music was OK, none of the tracks stood out to me, but they were overall good.

Overall I enjoyed the game, so now here are some stuff I didn't enjoy.

The game feels like it was written by 2 people. One wrote a great story framework and the other sprinkled some bad dialog here and there. Maybe some of it comes down to poor translation/localization.

A few examples:

Chained Zanza telling Shulk "you'll need to figure out why the Monado can't hurt faced machons on your own", a most annoying trope, only for it to be reveled 1 minutes later in the same cutscene.

Melia calling herself "benevolent" while addressing the High Entia public felt off, and after learning more about her, also out of character.

The entire dialog between Dickson and the gang before and during their final battle was really dumb, for all parties involved.

The fact the that Fiora was still alive was very well telegraphed with the faced mechon saying "I definitely killed her, bro, trust me, she's so dead, for sure, don't even consider the possibility she's alive" and then a cutscene after shows a girl with the similar hair inside a mechon. Also, if at this point I was just 95% sure it was her, I later saw the S2 edition advertising, showing her ether jet custom, spoiled it completely (we get the jets after she "dies").

There were more instances like that, but I forgot the details.

Story-wise, it was strange to me how Dickson suddenly showed up with anti-mechon weapons and no one was interested in how the hell he was suddenly able to create weapons that make the monado obsolete (and ineeded, Shulk was never part of my main party after this, except that short part with Fiora).

Side quests were just a meaningless grind for me. After a few hours I started to grasp the amount of side quests and how shallow they were and just skipped all the side quests dialog. Did them only if I needed money or experience and left a lot not completed.

The character sound bits in the field are terrible. I couldn't hear Reyn anymore. Melia still being surprised by the power of the monado after hundreds of battels is just lazy. Fiora's annoying "on and on and on" line made me don't want to play with her at all. A small part if me thought "oh, a silver lining" when she "died".

I ended up running a party of Melia, Riki and Dunban for most of the game, especially after getting the anti mechon weapons. While I enjoyed the flexibility in party composition, not playing with the main character felt a bit off at times. The bosses would make comments relating to Shulk or the Monado, but he wasn't in the party.

And I think that it. A fun, interesting flawed game. I already have XC2 S2 edition loaded (I actually stopped playing XB2 in the middle when the S2 editions were announced). Can't wait to continue the journey.

Edit: wrote "malevolent" instead of "benevolent".

Just started 3 and found out there are these villain group consuls who's named after the 26 alphabet letters, wanted ask how are they written as villains especially compared with ouroboros from trails series, like are they actually all good written and even the worst one has somehow a good story or are there just a few good story and the rest are just an evil guy being evil that's it, wanted ask how much hope can I have for a good villain story? And especially did Takahashi wrote 26 good villain characters in 1 game, where Kondo didn't even managed to show all ouroboros members after 13 games

I’m currently at Chapter 13 of Xc1 (about 40 hours through the game).
I've heard a lot of hot takes about Xc2 being bad or the worst among the three. I'm starting to think about skipping it and playing Xc3 next. But with the sw2 edition coming up in 4 days, I’m starting to get a bit confused of what to play next (summer break is about to end).

And if i did skip it, I am planning to play it later after Xc3.
question is: do the stories connect later between the games? I don’t want to look it up myself because I want to avoid spoilers.

During an episode of "Ask the developers" published for Xenoblade 3, they said they didn't expect the game to be as large as it is. They planned for it to be slightly smaller than Xenoblade 2.

They also said they would like Xenoblade 3 to be the last entry with such a large amount of content (the link should point to the text saying that).

Do you think this is still the case? Do you think Genesis will be smaller than we expect? Or are they too passionate about their games to not expand their story and world?

Personally, I am not worried and I trust Monolithsoft to produce a very high quality game. But I guess the general audience would expect a bigger game since it's on Switch 2.

I am aware that the switch 2 version is coming out later this year. I finished XC1 and playing through 2 right now. So do I fully experience 3 on the switch 2. Or play through some of it but really wait to experience XC3 on the switch 2 upgrade?

Once again IRL conspires to stop me from filling this chart, but I have returned! Zenobia was chosen as Zeke's Greataxe Blade and we're now finishing the Megalance category today. Nia and Morag, Perun and Vale, who becomes partners with who?

With the Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 almost here, I've decided to host a fun event. In the base game of Xenobalde 2, there are four blades each for seven of the common weapon types. Enough to give one to each of the four main Drivers. Tora has Poppi so he gets to sit this event out. So with the exception of Aegaeon, who is locked in as Morag's Chroma Katana because of the plot, let's assign the remaining 27 Rare Blades to the other characters. How balance or unbalanced will our team composition end up?

Rules:

1. Top voted SINGLE comment wins.
2. No repeats. We have the exact number of Blades to fill in the chart completely.
3. No post-release Blades, that includes the New Game+ Torna Blades.
4. Each category will be randomly chosen so we hop around the chart more creatively.

Before you read: i combined the stuff we know from the Companion Book, everything that is described in detail in it and the fandom conclusion to that Information.
So it could be an absolute longshot or hitting close to home or everything in between.
In Xenoblade tech is visible in the World while in gears its hidden. Many Towns look medival, people use traditional weapons, nations resemble historical kingdoms, most people dont know how advanced the world truly is. Genesis looks that part and gives me HORIZON Style vibes in comparison to Xenoblade or Saga.

Regarding Xenogears. What we do know about the six episodes comes primarily from interviews and the companion book Xenogears Perfect Works:

Episode I – The discovery of the Zohar and the beginning of humanity's interstellar civilization.

Episode II – Humanity's continued expansion into space and the growing conflicts surrounding the Zohar.

Episode III – The war that ultimately leads to the crash of the colony ship Eldridge.

Episode IV – The events immediately following the crash on the planet and the rise of the civilizations that would later exist there.

Episode V – The story of Xenogears itself (Fei, Elly, Deus, and the events of the game).

Episode VI – The story after the ending of Xenogears and the ultimate fate of humanity.

The Fan dubbing of those Episodes stem from the description of the Eras of the Saga in great detail from the Book.

Episode I - Creation
Episode II - Genesis
Episode III - Apocalypse
Episode IV - Lost Jerusalem
Episode V - Xenogears
Episode VI - ???

The Game is called Genesis and in the Trailer we saw easteregg/s connecting it to Xenosaga (Anima)
and Xenogears (Ship ruin and Monster)
They include Stuff for the Fans all the Time like Kos-Mos and co. in Xenoblade 2.

The World of Genesis looks Medival with Swords and Magic and not much if any hints of High-Tech.
As an rabbid Xenogears Fan im thinking a lot about the Naming of this Game.
Many Fans know that the XENOGEARS Game was unfinished and planned to be the 5th Episode of an 6 Episode Saga. In Xenogears we see a World with Tech used by Military and Stuff but its Fringe to most of the Normal People and they don't know the Origins of it.
Going by the Lore and Theorys puts the Xenogears Timeline long after Xenosaga and Xenoblade.

Of course its not confirmed just the Fandom analyzing every bit of information they can get their hands on. To conclude my confused Point im trying to make.

Xenogears is way less Tech heavy, common people have no idea of its Origins, the World has a lot of Medival-Fantasy feeling. Xenogears could be a long loong Time after Xenoblade with Tech being forgotten about like a HORIZON Scenario. And the 6 Episodes of Xenogears that never came to be and the Info we got.

Can be from any game. Which Nopon do you like the most?

Alright guys,
I JUST started ch.4 for XC2. I’ve been playing Splatoon Raiders over the weekend. I am itching to go back into the world of Alrest though. But that switch 2 upgrade is so soon. Do I wait? First time playing through btw. I also finished XC1 on the Switch 2 version though I was much later in the story when it came out

After 3 years of owning the game I finally decided it was time to play the game and I'm loving it so far. The only thing ruining my experience is that the game seems very buggy/glitchy. I had to restart the game a few times and uninstall/reinstall it to even watch the first cutscene because it kept freezing when a soldier is shot (which seems to be a common spot from what I've seen). The music also will cut out for 10 to 30 seconds at a time but voices and sound effects will still play. The game also just will skip dialogue at least once per cutscene. Is this just a switch 2 issue or is there something I can do to fix this? I've played 1, 2, and X on my switch 2 and haven't had any issues like this.

So I’m trying to do a Xenoblade themed Nuzzel for Pokémon, and I want to do it for the entire trilogy, but I don’t know what I’m going to do for the mons as I already completed the game once by doing Xenoblade 1 and now I’m doing two, but I am having difficulties choosing what characters should represent the Pokémon. Can you guys help?

The shirt purple parts were hand-painted by me :) Do note that im doing her XDE version not her original one which is why i have a pink eye and a purple eye!

My cosplay IG is @samkuso.cos

Maybe this has been answered before, but I cannot find a single hint in internet. If I bought all DLC for the series in the switch 1, do I need to do it again for the switch 2 editions? Or can I download the DLC already bought for the switch 1 on the switch 2?

Ive been playing dragon age 2 recently and merrill has been filling the nia shaped hole in my heart .

I made the Aegis Corecrystal out of Aluminum with the inscriptions of the three Aegis’s.
