    I've always loved how D just says "So you guys are now called Ouroboros, we're Moebius, we hate each other but we're kinda similar. Got all that? Good" like he's just reading them the wiki or something before trying kick their asses. Great video all around by the way. Really fun to watch, but now I realized how big of an issue AI teammates falling off cliffs is gonna be

      I just realized...HE WAS!! Z just told him to take a rock and kill whoever's there. D didn't act like he had seen an Ouroboros form before. "So you've got an Interlink going, eh?" Throw in a pause and it makes more sense...

    43:39, you also didn’t realize that power ring is the only way for Eunie to charge her talent art. So by removing that, you also took away her healing ring.

      Happened with my first playthrough the radius was too small and the other characters kept moving out of it so I thought substituting it for a different art would be better it was initially better DPS but as soon as I got into a longer fight I realized I didn’t have enough healing because the talent art wasn’t charging.

    What's so funny about Herbert the Ropl is that it is NOT counted as a Boss (no orange wings on the health bar) but is much harder because of it, because Noah does not receive the damage buff from the Swordfighter skill that boosts damage against bosses (80% at Rank 10). If the only change made to Herbert was making it a Boss it would die much faster.

    Mwamba is technically a Hero. Since you can't edit Hero Accessories, it makes sense that you don't remember equipping him with the Feather Band: you couldn't have in the first place.
    21:00~22:39 Personally, I would've just used the minus button menu to surrender and continue from there but still consider it a new run. Since it's barely into the first chapter, it'd basically just be skipping the stuff that would've been practically the same anyway.

    Personally I don't really count all the deaths in this video. It's sort of like in a Pokemon Nuzlocke where it doesn't start until you get pokeballs. It doesn't start until you get the classes tutorial.
    If you compare the time scale of a Pokemon game and Xenoblade, pokeballs and the classes tutorial probably happen at the same time.

    • @janrosa7243

      Probably takes longer. 3 hard difficulty specifically is fairly brutal by the standards of most of the games in the series. It's not to the level of BoC but that's because that's balanced around NG+. It's also unfortunate that your only means of healing in the beginning is with the talent art which just makes the initial chapters among the hardest since you're basically required to grind to beat the one enemy he really struggled with.

    @rathknight0361 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ok, this is awesome. I love the editing and commentary. I know this is 4 months late, but lemme say what I think about this whole challenge
    You can shift the difficulty down to normal if it all feels too much to handle. No shame with that. Fun's the importance of this whole thing after all.
    As others have said, power ring is Eunie's way to charge her talent art, so um... don't remove it again, please.
    A neat trick I use to use in my own hard mode playthrough was to use the party commands "gather at the leader" to position people in buff and healing circles. Though, know that this tactic will make your party stop attacking and leave everyone open to aoe moves, so use it and disable it accordingly. Idk if you know of this trick, but I hope it helps.
    Another trick I liked using in hard mode was evasion arts. If timed correctly, you can avoid all damage done by enemy's big art attacks (the attacks that change their name plate for a second)
    That's all I have to say. Good luck with the rest of the run.

  • @drantino

    a game like this for the begining are always hard to consider a full reset since the fail state is so easy and the inability to change basicly nothing if reset is why letting the herbert chronicles exist like it does doesnt actually mean anything(the pride of trying it as if it was valid is intresting). the class changing and such later is what makes any of the nuzlocke part even valid.
    the idea of moving difficulty from hardmode to normal imo is fine considering how brutal the early game is with the lack of actual tools to even do setups. a bunch of the early part of the game balance is vary fine tunned till you get options avilable that is mostly on the fusion arts end

    This was great, I'm looking forward to the second part. I remember that when I started playing the game I also wondered if a nuzlocke based on classes would work. It's really cool to see someone attempting it. I might try it once you show the full rule set because I am not smart enough to come up with one on my own. Also I like the joke at the very end about not being able to count higher than 10, it was very relatable, since I cannot do that either.

  • @44burn1

    There are a few changes that I would have made in this Nuzlocke
    1) just like in a Pokemon Nuzlocke (the Nuzlocke does not start until you receive your Pokeballs) this Nuzlocke shouldn't start until we are allowed to swap classes
    2) you can use any hero available even if they die. This is so they are still available for quests and that certain Heroes (Nopon Champion) are not crippled. (It also makes it easier to gain classes)
    The reason why a Nuzlocke would normally work with Pokemon is because you are in control of said Pokemon. The biggest issue I see doing a Nuzlocke in this game in such a manner is that you are relying on AI Control of 5 characters. I can see you having the same problem as relying on AI in raid dens in Pokemon. (I've had AI throw themselves into the void, per your rules this means character death.)
    Still, I might try this in the future with a TPK rule instead of character deaths. It sounds like a challenge especially later on where it's easy to overlevel. (Currently supposed to be level 45, currently level 82 from exploration and side quests. I only use bonus XP to keep the levels even which I haven't had to use since chapter 2)

    At least on hard difficulty, I don't see a future for this run. The combat is completely balanced around revivals on hard mode (there is a reason you can only basically infinitely revive in XC3), so you have three options:
    -Completely overlevel and make the game unfun
    -Lose very quickly
    -Lower difficulty, if that helps. I have only played on hard, so I wouldn't know
    Obviously the only good option would be lowering difficulty, I guess.

  • @xetsuma
    @xetsuma ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You did great man, this video was really enjoyable to watch and I can't wait to see where this goes. Personally, I would've just made the challenge rules not apply until you can switch classes (like how in a Pokemon nuzlocke the rules don't apply until you get Pokeballs).
    Honestly, the early-game in Xenoblade is always really tough on Hard just from the lack of options, years ago I tried playing XC2 on Bringer of Chaos and the Megalo Aligo (who happens to also have Cursed Cuisine) kicked my ass really hard.

    This seems like a nice challenge.

I hope you don't give this challenge up and I hope this gets picked up by the algorithm!! Definitely earned a sub from me

    • @Robbie_Haruna
      @Robbie_Haruna ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hard Mode doesn't only make fights longer though?
      In addition to giving enemies more HP, they also hit harder, are more resistant to debuffs, combos have a lower duration so locking things down with them is harder, talent arts charge slower, Interlink has a lower duration and probably most signifcantly; Chain attack multipliers are nerfed so it's much harder just to burst everything to death in one chain attack.

    I like this video a lot, I would love to see this series continue. I'm a huge fan of challenge runs for other games so seeing a challenge run for XB3 is awesome. Only feedback i can come up with is that you'll probably want to switch the difficulty to normal as hard is going to scale the enemies up too much for you to make it through a number of bosses without tailored teams to defeat them. I can't wait to see where this series goes!

    Just found this video yesterday and I've watched it twice now, really excited to see when/if P2 comes along. There's definitely some flaws in your gameplay (taking off power ring on Eunie since it charges her Talent Art) but that mostly comes with understanding the core of each role. The editing was really clean and enjoyable as was the narration. Hopefully we get a P2 soon
    Swapping to normal is a fine idea because hard will ruin you with this ruleset long term even if it is a bit easier early on.

    Dude, treat the classes like pokeballs. Until you get those it doesnt matter if you lose, so once you get the Ouroboros and access to Classes, then the Nuzlocke begins properly
    I know the Pokeball ruling is so lockers dont lose encounters they may need later, but i think it can be applied here.
    Not to mention you cannot fully utilize your characters, and have to rely on faulty AI, till you get Mio, Taion and Sena + the ability to control characters and class swap.

    About changing the difficulty, I'd say the best way to handle this would be to keep on playing on hard mode, but at the same time maybe you should save this point in the run on 2 different savefiles, one on hard mode and the other on normal, so that if you die on hard mode you can restart from here on normal

    Oh this is quite a treat! Can't wait to see more of this, and to hear your thoughts! I'm always on the hunt for more Xenoblade content and this seems like a really fun project! Subbed and eagerly awaiting your next upload. Definitely lower the difficulty to Normal, if you'd like, too! It's supposed to be fun for you after all ❤

    I actually found this idea very fun. But I think you should have put in a leniency rule like Pokemon Nuzlocks do to allow the actual run to start once you got access to changing Classes. Since it’s such a huge game, it seems unfair to allow so much to screw you over in the first several hours when you can’t exactly help it. Not to mention actual skill comes into play more when you get more control over your party. Overall, still loved the content. Keep it up!

    If this was gonna be called a Nuzlocke you could've done actual Nuzlocke rules and any deaths before class swapping are allowed for the sake of convenience. But still, this is a great vid.

  • @izaak6632

    If you want another ridiculous challenge run idea, try doing xenoblade DE with only one character. Xord is easier than you think and the late game gets really hard.
    Or you could try xenoblade x with only guns. With limited healing and options its a real test of skill.
    I've done a run similar to this and can't wait to see how you do. Keep up the great content. :D

  • @abyssalkingdra4752
    @abyssalkingdra4752 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know it's supposed to be a Nuzlocke, but maybe a checkpoint system would be fitting in this case? Xenoblade games are very long so some low number of checkpoints could work. Maybe at important points in the story? Or maybe players choose when to use one? You can have multiple saves in Xenoblade 3 whereas that's impossible in Pokémon games, so you could save at a predetermined checkpoint and reset to it later if you lose everything or just lost too many classes to think the run is viable. Also, Pokémon Nuzlockes only start after you get pokéballs, so you could start the Xenoblade 3 Nuzlocke after you unlock the class system. These changes could keep the difficulty, but add an element of risk/reward to the mix and prevent having to go over tutorial sections again and again.

    I'm sure you're much farther on by now, but I would definitely suggest doing this challenge on Normal. The beginning of the game is just too RNG-based on Hard, and lowering it also cuts down on what would be required grinding.

    Great job dude, for someone so small it really doesn't feel like it. Your editing style is great and you don't fall into many beginner's traps especially with audio, most notably having the music quiet enough to not overpower your voice, but loud enough to be noticeable. I'm looking forward to seeing how your skill and style changes as you go through this series.

  • @haxox1795

    Hope you continue this run, very impressive for a first big project and especially so for a smaller channel. Wish you well, I can imagine how tough a project like this could be.
    Also, as for your thoughts during the end, Normal would probably be a better way to play the game. I think continuing onwards you'll probably get wiped playing on Hard difficulty, and that wouldn't be very fun. At least for normal, I could see you making it quite late game and suffering a tragic defeat which would be better than fizzling out at Herbert, lol.
