3 hours and 43 minutes until the Japanese eShop version goes live.

Time to stuff my face with food, and go buy tons of snacks to keep me happy while I play. I'll be going straight into FC, as while I will play and love the main game again I really want to know what the future might have in store. Couldn't ask for a better way to spend the last few days of lockdown.

Now the dilemma as a non native english speaker:
-Playing with the original japanese voices with voices that fit the characters but not getting almost any of the party banter
-Playing with the horrible English VA that gives 16 years old kids as Shulk or Reyn the voices of 30 years old adults but getting the Party Banter.

When those fuckers will start adding subtitles to party banter?

I really enjoy the English VA so far, one of the best I've heard in a long while

 

[Spukc]

I hate these guys







this is a terrible reason to be a collector

Hoh?
It's a picture disc tho you don't want to actually play it

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I don't want any Future Connected Spoilers! But I don't want to play it first I need to grind to level 99 in the main game first

Just go with the original voices. It's what i did when i played it on the wii. Sure the english dub is good, but to me, the voices still dont fit the characters at all.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

It was NOA's fault we got the voices we did, NOE did the work because Nintendo of America did not want to release the game here. I don't mind the voices Xenoblade just does not sound like Xenoblade without them, they should always go to the UK for english voice in Xeno games.

Haters can enjoy the Japanese, French, Spanish or whatever you are no lacking choices

There is only a English and Japanese dub. At least I am not aware of any other.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

To be honest I'm not really feeling future connected. I'll play it and I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but one of the things I'm most looking forward to is trying to exploit the chain attack mechanic and see what kind of higher level monsters I can beat and what sort of crazy damage numbers I can get. So hearing they removed chain attack from future connected, combined with reviewers saying it's quite short, makes me more interested in revisiting the main adventure.

That shouldn't be so surprising since the main adventure is the meat of the game.

You can always play Future Connected for the swimsuits to use in the main game.

I don't know this because I never checked the NOE version but yeah I guess that would be right

Yeah, there's only one english dub. No game ever had 2 dubs of the same language, that would be a waste of resources.

Rewatching gamexplain's review, the swimsuits come from challenges in the main game, dunno if fc unlocks new ones... >.>

that makes sense the main game has lots of girls while Future Connected only has the weak girl Melia according to IGN that is

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition's New Chapter Is Light-Hearted Fun

Included in this week’s definitive edition of Xenoblade Chronicles for the Switch is Future Connected, a short playable epilogue. It ties up a dangling plotline and has a lot of fun doing it.

I hate when I start a game with subtitles on and can't remove them yet

 

[Smiles and Cries]

there is a casual mode, you can change your time easy in menu

wooo so nice

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Playing it on my switch lite and what the fucking hell is the fuss about the resolution. Yes it's not native it looks soft but the TA has been improved in my opinion and it's not mud smeared image at all. Cut scenes at least the initial ones seem to run at the 540p max which is fine. So far it's awesome. Didn't patch it yet would require a system update. To lazy to wait.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

you should really patch Nintendo games before you start bro lol it took 3 seconds for the update

 

[Wunray]

Wasn't prepared for how bulky this makes the switch but it works amazingly well.

It is bulky but its much more comfortable to play than original Joycons.

I don't know how to tag other users but he was in here a couple pages back, he had a claim in the OT creation thread.

So I preordered this on eshop, I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about this game so looking forward to it. Still want my damn Xenosaga HD remasters.

What are you smoking? It's great for long handheld sessions and much more comfortable to hold than the joy-cons.

 

[Wunray]

Don't knock it till you try it, it's better than the joycons, only wish they had gyro.......also no drift.

 

[ultrazilla]

Is this hitting at 12 midnight Eastern time tonight? Thanks

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

They don't have rumble either, right? I seriously considered getting those when I had to replace a Joycon recently. I could see it being comfortable, but I'd miss not having rumble.

Please, please, please.

I’m shocked they did orig Xeno first, because X is pretty much ready to go. As is, it would look gorgeous on the Switch, and that’s before any possible resolution enhancements or clean-up.

It’s absolutely perfect for Switch in every way.

I believe they had an interview where they said that X would need to be re-created from the ground up to run on the Switch and that it would be a massive undertaking.

I want to know about the rumble as well. Actually I was reading some reviews (which tend to give 9s and 10s when the reviewer is familiar enough with the game to know the characters' names btw) and one reviewer said that the way they use rumble makes it easy to perfectly time the affinity boost and chain attack extension button prompts. For people unfamiliar, if you time the button press perfectly so that you do it while the circle touches the edge, instead of just inside the circle, you get double the boost to tension and triple the affinity increase. Doing so in a Chain link also extension increases the chance of another link.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Postmortem: Breaking Down the Inaugural Switch RPG's Success With Tetsuya Takahashi

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the Nintendo Switch is a sometimes-inaccessible game dotted with inconsistent character desi…

www.usgamer.net

X Marks the Spot: Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch?

As the sun set on our conversation, I ask Takahashi a question that's admittedly predictable, but burns my soul nevertheless: "Is there a chance we'll see a port of the Wii U's Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch?" Like many excellent games on the failed console, Xenoblade Chronicles X faded into relative obscurity and is deserving of new life on the Switch.

[Pounds fists on table] Mechs-on-Switch! Mechs-on-Switch!
"Well, the future at present is unclear," Takahashi says, which is the same answer I received when I ask about the possibility of a Xenoblade Chronicles 3. "Personally speaking, I'd love to play the game on the Switch, but it would be really difficult to make it."

When it comes to roadblocks that stand in the way of Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, Takahashi's answer is simple.

"Money," he laughs. "It's a massive game. Re-creating it would be really difficult."

With so many Wii U ports popping up on the Switch, it's easy to forget developers can't just wave a magic wand that dumps code from one console to the next. Still, let's hold onto the hope Xenoblade Chronicles X comes to the Switch. The world deserves to have the New Los Angeles theme pumped into their ears.

It has online functionally to organise and stuff too. It would be a big job and monolift have their hands full. Plus the game's reception was somewhat lukewarm too, at least compared to Xenoblade.

It's definitely a bit hopeful but luckily nintendo are making sure every single wiiu game gets ported lol

See, I don’t get that. Why would it need to be recreated? It’s fine as is, and many, many other games have shown that Wii U to Switch ports are very doable and profitable, even niche and third party games.

While I understand that porting isn’t always the simple process it appears to be, especially for a game of this enormity, the answer still makes no sense to the point where I wonder if something wasn’t lost in translation, either in the question, or the answer.

The way he’s talking, seems like a remake.
