    Dexterity isn't defense, by the way. It's your accuracy stat.

      Lol so he confused Dex with Agil if you played a lot of games or just looked at the meanings of the words in general you would see they are pretty similar.

    • @LookItIsHope
      @LookItIsHope Před 6 lety +1

      YourPalHDee All the RPGs I played Dexterity is for ranged weapons rather than close ranged weapons, which are for Strength. Sometimes even Dex did take the role as speed if Agi wasn't a stat in said game. While agility was the speed of your character. This was the first RPG that I played that had Dex as accuracy and Agi as your dodge stat. I don't even recall XC1 being that way, but I could be wrong.

      I just don't care about the opinion of someone who doesn't like the series. It's irrelevant unless you follow his specific likes and dislikes. His entire review is tinged with negatives biases so unless you also dislike XC and XCX there's very little stock in anything he has to say.

      Why do some people care so much about a review? Most people will buy this game anyways despite a review. I'm not enjoying P5 right now but does that stop other people from enjoying the game? Just seems like something not worth your time when playing the game should be worth your time.

    I'm absolutely loving my time with XC2 so far. Its so addictive. The story is deep and fantastic and epic. The music (oh my god the MUSIC) is stunning. Its amazing that the Switch has given me three of my fave games this gen (BOTW, Odyssey and XC2) all in the space of a year. However I know for a fact that despite all the praise this game is getting and will get, it will remain an underrated masterpiece.

    Played XC and XCX, the first one especially impressed me. I still think about the plot, and the filosophical questions the game throws at you. Completely magical. That said, I looked forward to this game ever since I played the first one, and of course I bought a Switch especially for this game.
    I got 12 hours into it right now, and I’m still in the first town, the hours just fly by playing this game. As far as the story is concerned, I’m already sold. Music is superb as well. I can’t see anything wrong with this game. It’s a perfect game, much like it’s prequel.

    I will say that one thing I really like about XC2 (Though I don't have it - yet), is the choice of English VA for Rex. He's Northern! Northern accents are so rarely used as British voices. That accent is undeniably Yorkshire, and it's pretty damn refreshing.

    Ugh I get so irritated when I randomly see people not buy such an amazing game SIMPLY because of the art style. I really don't see why people get so butt hurt over an anime style. It's literally like they are scared if they play an "anime like" game they are some sort of weaboo or something. Just in general, I simply don't understand why people can't be accepting and just look past or try things. I've seen too many times when people completely disregard a game or film just because it has anime like art or anime like story or whatever. It's really irritating as stated above. I wouldn't mind if someone had a legitimate reason for not playing the game like maybe the story isn't to their preference or other things, but not playing or buying something that is clearly good because of the art is in my opinion utterly ridiculous.

    • @kryzethx
      @kryzethx Před 6 lety +2

      Hm. I kind of agree, but I'm also kind of hypocritical, because I'm sort of the opposite now. If I see an anime art style, I'm immediately intrigued and start looking more into it; but if it's a western style, gritty, realistic looking game, I instantly shy away from it and usually don't give it a second thought.
      But maybe that's just because anime style games tend to be RPGs, and JRPGs are just the best, whereas western style games tend to be shooters or action games, which are not my favorite.

    10:52 My volume setup is this: I've turned off the battle narrations completely. I turned the ingame voices (during battles) down a bit so they're less overwhelming, but I can still get a sense of what my party is doing. The BGM is set pretty high (who can fault me wanting to listen to all that awesome music?), but the cutscene voices are markedly louder to compensate. In my opinion, the English VA is better than Japanese for this game. I especially love Akhos' voice so far! (I'm only on Chapter 3 right now.)

    This game is just incredible. The story had me from the start. The story, voice acting, combat, and music are all just top notch. I’m so glad this game made its release date of this year, was worried earlier in the year that it wouldn’t make it.
    We got Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Samus Returns, Mario + Rabbids, ARMS and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 from Nintendo this year. They have absolutely killed it. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 could possibly be one of my favorite JRPG’s in a long time.

      Only complaint I hav on it, is Rex's scream and attacking yells. Everything else im ok or decently enjoying in VA so far. Not as bad as ppl thought from the trailers tbh. I even got used to Nias more classy adult voice pretty quick, felt natural to me. lol

    Crystal tips:
    - Save the boosters for rare crystals. (Boosters serves only to increase the rate of the type of blade you wanna get)
    - When using a crystal, before MAKE SURE to boost your luck status using the 20+ luck accessory for example. The more luck you have, the better the chance of getting a rare blade.
    - Don't be afraid of using your normal crystals. You'll get plenty of them.
    - You can get rare blades with normal crystals, but also can get normal blades with rare crystals. (So again, make sure to increase your luck status before rolling).

    Y do people hate the voice acting so much? The vast majority is really good. Sure the animations and the voice acting are almost never in sync, just don't let that affect you. The voice acting itself is fine

    • @princeofhyrule2205
      @princeofhyrule2205 Před 6 lety +2

      As long as i know who is speaking and see what the character is doing, i really don't care if it is out of sync. I'd rather let the voice actors speak the lines the way they feel fit rather than bound to trying to sync their words with the character's lips

    • @Turnajon
      @Turnajon Před 6 lety +1

      The lip sync needs work and some lines could use some more oomph, but in general the dub's solid. XBC and XBCX were better, but this isn't bad either. There are moments of stiff delivery, but it's nothing horrible to my ears. I've heard worse. This is nothing at all like ARC RISE FANTASIA or BATEN KAITOS I.

    • @JCeetraTheGreat

    So far its a 9/10 for me. I'm still on chapter 3 so i'm pretty early but I really loving everything about the game. Only a few hiccups such as the sometimes cringy anime tropes (especially poppi and tora) bring the score down. However, the combat, the rpg system, the character progression and the storya re really good so far. And don't let me forget about the worlds. They are absolutely stunning, espcially the part when I'm in, inside the titan's stomach. Its jaw-dropping to look at. Moreover, the music is so amazing. But one thing is if you don't like anime or jRPGs I don't think you will like this game.
    PS: The voice-acting doesn't bother me because I set it to japanese and I can understand japanese because my parents are japanese

    I'm 8 hours in, really loving it so far. What's a little disappointing is that they didn't sub the dialogue after battles. The quotes in Japanese are simple enough for me to understand, but it's an inconvenience for those who don't speak any Japanese and want to understand them.
    It's also a bit sad the handheld mode looks so much worse than in docked mode though since I usually play on handheld 80% of the time... well, guess it's time to stick with the TV for this game welp.

    Spoiler-free, Short comparison between XC1 and XC2
    Story: Xenoblade 1 is better, but xenoblade 2 comes incredibly close. It's very subjective.
    Worlds: In terms of originality, Xenoblade 1. In terms of atmosphere, Xenoblade 2 (chapter 7 is incredible, my god it's just glorious).
    Gameplay: Xenoblade 2 is SO SO MUCH better. It's very complex, but if you know what you're doing, to blows xenoblade 1 out of the water.
    Graphics: 100% subjective.
    Collection: Xenoblade 1 is all about luck via item orbs. Xenoblade 2 is very forgiving and has minimal chance. I found myself with all the items I wanted/needed without going out of my way to find them. Blades, on the other hand, are a different story, but you really don't need the best ones to beat all the super-bosses.
    Overall: Any time I try to go back to Xenoblade 1, I can't. Even if the story and stuff is better, the gameplay of Xenoblade 2 makes up for it.
