Pokémon F/F Ship Tournament - Round 3, Matchup 2

Thinking about the world for this Xenoblade idea. Initially I was thinking of an island world (either in a normal ocean or sky islands) but that could get too similar to Alrest. Then it hit me, cave world. People live underground in these giant cave systems. You can have funky glowing crystals and wildlife, lakes, lava caves, icy caves, weird magnetism stuff like Pokemon's Chargestone Cave, super dark areas, ruins, mines, there's plenty of variety for these caves. There's also the whole "why the fuck is everyone underground what's going on on the surface". Were they forced to go underground, and if so was it because of some natural disaster or the actions of other people? Is it dangerous on the surface? Do the cave dwellers even know the world above even exists? Lot that can be done here.

Haven't done much on the characters yet since I'd like to get the whole situation with the cave world and the surface first. Will probably have a starting trio like Shulk/Reyn/Fiora and Noah/Lanz/Eunie, trio of childhood friends. Mentor figure is also likely, might have a kid join the group, and of course there's got to be a Nopon in the group but I'm not sure what they'd do. 5-7 is the range for permanent party members in Xenoblade games so I don't want to get too carried away.

Aside from humans and Nopon (they are everywhere), there's probably other new races but I don't have any ideas yet. Another thing is that while the numbered games lean towards British accents with some American and Australian accents thrown in and X has mostly American accents, I'd like to think that the cast of this game would have their own accent(s) to help signify that this is it's own universe. Not sure what accent they'd have, I am unfortunately a dumb American.

Bravely Default Community

The upcoming remaster of the first game is making me all nostalgic and had me wondering if there was a community for the series here. I couldn't find one, so I made one!

Reblog to put one of these in your mutuals’ pocket when they’re not looking

For fun, here’s the order I played through Xenoblade (do not do this):

-Started with X of all things because I thought it looked cool. It’s the odd one out, with a bigger focus on side content, a customizable avatar, giant robots you can control, and almost everyone has an American accent (they’re canonically from America it’s fine). Also Shulk and Fiora’s voice actors are voice options for the protagonist, neat.

-Played 1 and it’s sidestory next when it came out on Switch, very good time.

-Played 2 after that, I skipped it when it first came out because reasons and forced myself to play through it because 3 got announced. Nia, Zeke, and being blessed by the gacha gods and summoning KOS-MOS got me through 2. I still haven’t finished the DLC.

-3 and it’s DLC after that, both are very good. I’ve heard the DLC has a lot of references to some older games the devs made but I don’t have those.

I’d recommend starting with 1 and then 2, there’s some cool stuff near the end of 2 that hits harder if you’ve played 1. X can go anywhere after 1 since it’s the closest gameplay-wise and X has some references to 1.

A BREIF GUIDE TO STARTING XENOBLADE

okay, firstly, xenoblade refers to 4 video game. Xenoblade Chronicles 1, X, 2, and 3. They're really good and introspective and you should play them. but its not that simple.

1, 2, and 3 are all on Nintendo Switch. X is on WiiU, so its okay to skip that one if you dont have the console. X is also a little wierd. It's completely different and futuristic, so even though it was released between 1 and 2, play it after those. Maybe even after 3.

The issue is where to start.

You can start with 1 or 2. Most people start with 1, naturally. I started with 2.

The case for starting with 1 goes as follows:

It was the first released

It works perfectly as a standalone if you don't want to continue after it (even though you probably will want to)

more... normal. than 2

The case for starting with 2:

worse gameplay, so its up and up from here

slightly more lore relevance, pulls u in more

get it over with bc its kinda wierd and oversexualized and Rex's voice direction oh lawd

my personal play order recommendation is 2 (and maybe dlc prequel sidestory), 1 (and included sidestory), X if you have a WiiU, 3, 3's dlc. You can swap 2 and 1, but meh.

The dlc for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is important because of the Future Redeemed Sidestory. It's so important both Protags from 1 and 2 come back, along with Computer God from 1.

and then when you're inevitably confused afterwwards, either come crawling back to me (probably in tears. you will cry) or go to Luxin on youtube. have fun, play xenoblade, live laugh lacerate.
