Monolith Soft's anniversary got me in the mood, so I felt like updating my thoughts! No hard feelings btw, it ain't that serious lol.

If the switch 2 really is retro compatible, Monolithsoft will have to make something really interesting to make people that already bought the original to buy it again.(I'm saying this as if I'm not going to buy the preorder as soon as I can lmao)
Honestly, I think if they were to re-do it. this is what would most likely happen: 1: dig points would be like torna [so you would KNOW what it was]. 2: they'd fix the 5th row of the gacha, (or just flat out remove it. my hope would be - just increase Kos Mos to be 1% flat vs being less than 1%). 3: give us the Pyra costume early (I don't like that you can't get it `until basically chapter 4, i would make that aux core like the MMM aux core, and make it like a side quest). 4: just having better tutorials. 5: making the transition scene seamless like 3 6: maybe change the art style a touch so it's more like 1/3 (this one might be a bit of a stretch) 7: SAVE. SLOTS. the reason why they don't have it is due to save scumming reasons and whatever. it's a single player game. i WANT. SAVE. SLOTS
I would also adjust certain field skill check points, namely the ones that require leaping in combination with wind or earth mastery, and the under water paths that need water mastery. Make the need of the levels a one time thing, so in the future we can just come by, interact, and we're off. For the first point, I would also give players invincibility for a short time to prevent fall damage, and would make Fan La Norne a temporary party member/Blade that can't be used during our first visit to Temperantia, so you don't have to adjust your team to get back to the fight on the titan weapon. On the Gacha system, I would just like a system that can guarantee rare blades if we have random ones left to collect, and maybe a "Build Your Blade" for post-game, because once you get to that point, it really is just about optimization, and experimentation would be far easier if we could have really tight control over the attributes of common blades. I should not have to go through a hundred legendary cores to get a 5 crown dark element Katana blade with 5 levels Orb Master, Front Attack, Pinpoint Weakness.
I think the reason why it did not have multiple save slots it because the game auto-save after summoning a blade. So if you farm 9 legendary core you could not redo the summoning if you got unlucky with the pulls
I doubt there'll be a XC2 definitive edition. If anything, as we can fairly well imagine the switch successor will be backwards compatible, with enhancement capabilities, Monolith Soft may well just release a patch for all of the switch xenoblade games that improves some visuals and performance. Like Xenoblade being remastered in prep for Xenoblade 3 makes sense. But xenoblade 2 nor so much after. It'd make more sense to try and connect XCX and Xenosaga towards the next thing Monolith wants to do after the Future Redeemed setup.
Screw the haters I love the English dub. Even the 'bad' Rex lines are wonderful. Not only do they make me laugh, but you can't seriously tell me that a 15 year old boy can do good battle screams the first few times he tries. It totally fits him that his ones in the early game are bad! (also oh my god I would shill so hard just for the clothing stuff alone that you mentioned)
3:49 Idk if this is a good argument to be using, because people were real mad about these being made. Overall, the only way I can see them getting away with a XB2 remaster without pissing everyone off is if there's an upgrade path (and a way to transfer data). We've never seen Nintendo do something like that before, but you never know what'll happen...
Yeah, 2 DEFINITELY would benefit from a DE-like remaster, if only to fix the QoL with a brand new UI, better tutorials, etc. and maybe other Blades like guest characters from other Xenoblade games (I'm Thinking Melia to represent FC, Mio for Xenoblade 3, and Glimmer and maybe Linka from FR), and make Jin and Malos (and Dolmes lmao) finally playable. Maybe a small FC-like story addition, too. BUT I think they'll wait for... "Switch 3" or whatever. X DE is coming next for me, with either an extra story or preferably a few more chapters (and raise level cap from 60 to 99 + add some new post game and MAYBE more classes?). To me they'll focus on "X's arc" or whatever next with X DE and X II before coming back to 4.
We don't need any Xenoblade Trilogy remasters. Switch 2 should be backwards compatible, so all they need is a small patch to help their games take advantage of the stronger hardware. The Xenoblade games already have scaling performance and resolution, so just having those turned up to the max will work just fine enough. As for the Royal comparison.... that's disingenuous. First off, many of us Megami Tensei / Persona fans do indeed take issue with the fact that Atlus does their releases the way they do. Persona 5 R was really DLC and Quality of Life enhancements, but sold again for full price alongside, the full game. It wasn't just a normal remaster. Same goes for Shin Megami Tensei V and SMTV: Vengeance. Keep in mind that it's also not a "Game of the Year" edition with all DLC either. Persona 5 released, and got DLC. Persona 5 Royal released with all the P5 DLC... but then got even more paid DLC of its own. So buying Royal when it released... that didn't actually give you all the DLC released for the game. This is something Atlus does all the time, and it's not a practice that other companies should follow.
I believe a middle ground. I can see 2 getting a remaster on Switch 2. But I dont think it'll be in the next year or 2 which implies there's a different new game or remaster coming before it. Which I do think is gonna be either an X remake or X2. The Switch 2 rumors imply the Switch 2 will be more than powerful enough to run a game like X. Which is the main reason they said it'd be too hard on Switch, because the Switch has very similar hardware to the WiiU which was pushed to its very limits to make X. So if the Switch 2 has moderately better hardware it'll be much easier to put X on
I think the ways to gain Trust on Blades is one of the biggest problems that needs addressing in a Definitive Edition, since Trust being tedious to increase bleeds into many other problems like not having enough field skills or new blades feeling weak. Especially battles should award a different amount of Trust if you beat an overleveled Unique Monster compared to underleveled generics.
@@PJDAltamirus0425 What the video described, plus the ability to have separate cosmetic equipment from your equipped stat-determining equipment, a la Xenoblade 1 DE, including with core chips
@@hyliastone286 Ah, yeah, that would be fun. Imagine like someone rummaging through tora's closet and stumbling upon diguise pyra esque dresses for Mythra and Nia and a sidequest you have find for Nia, Mythra and Rex to wear them.. Tora convincing Mythra and Nia to wear by saying Rex would love it and their reactions to that.
@@PJDAltamirus0425 Right up until the suggestion of more weird and uncomfy fanservice moments, I loved the idea. Seriously, if we get a Xenoblade 2 DE, those creepy, CREEPY fanservicey elements need to be *heavily* reworked, limited, and rein in as much as possible. Ideally I'd like several character designs redone (mostly of the rare blades) and Tora's whole creepy misogynistic shtick to be heavily rewritten to be less "haha horni nopon let's sexualize every woman" and more "well-meaning yet ultimately maladjusted weeb slowly learns to be less toxic about women," or at least show the beginnings of that arc. And I mainly want more cosmetics in the hopes that I can de-sexualize the main cast. Aside from Brighid - in her case it's tasteful
@@hyliastone286 Eh.... diguised Pyra outfit is adorable and I would interested see a Nia and Mythra version of it, mine was a abet awkward sidequest tie in. Still thin it is less wierd that the maid lesson Tora tried to give Pyra in Uraya but that is a low bar. Another is be thing where everyone dresses like Morag and Morag teases the crew about it. The rare blade redesigns probably wouldn't happened besigned like... color and designs variations of leggings cus alot of are cus.... decent with one that just makes it wierd, expect dalia...... idk if there is fixing Dahlia. Brighid would actuall be super easy, just darken the center stripe a bit more and it be perfect. They do that on Sena's throw back outfit. Tora........ yeah.... he is creep and wierdo.... I think what they going with is a mixture of goku from dragonball, goku lived in the mountains with a martial arts teacher so didn't have boundaries as a kid so in that show, he actually groped people several not knowing what the big deal is. Tora is younger than Rex and raised by two massive perverts..... so he grows to be massive pervert... no one is truly alone... good or bad..... they ran extremely hyper tasteless cringe worthy extent. Also, top Riki cus everyone loves and overlooks even though he bangs to a irresponsible degree to they into debt and is implied in FC to be a crappy father, with Nenee basically stating she kinda had to raise Kino. No that I think about, the flamboyant to the downright mardi gras stripper design of the rare blades came to two places, time to create characters so loading out to guest artis (probably another why so many of the rare are in the gatcha mechinic, and if your check old forums...... being just generally not carrying the crazy skimpy outfits of Mechon Fiora and..... fucking Sharla....... almost, which is basically almost of her clothing options is XCDE. Not to excuse cus yeah, loads of them are in bad taste. Another, selling figure cus this was one the first titles on the Switch.... As far as great female character designs in XC2, I like Lora's, Driver Nia's, Praxis, Morag, Brighid, Zenobia (shirtless is barbarian aesthetic is a wind barbarian in my she gets a pass), Haze, Crosette's designs. An think a easy thing to fix as far as the rare blade's is the breast physics, I remember absolutely mind numbing wierd and distracting bit such as Vale's, Dahlia's, Perun's. Also, this might nipticky, but I it cool to the fool with the camera during a blade combo, so ya have the zoom in on a character's butt, crotch, clip through the character, thus ruining the hype from a generally awesome time.
I assumed Nia was chosen as "queen" because she's a blade eater and has the longest life span besides maybe Pyra and Mythra. And Pyra and Mythra were needed elsewhere to help with Origin. Same why Melia was picked, they both live for hundreds of years. Melia just so happened to be actual royalty. Like when origin reset I don't think Nia is still queen of Alrest.
Honestly, I think we might get a Trilogy Collection, similar to what we got in 2009 with the Metroid Prime Trilogy. All three games, plus the DLC, in one package.
You make a compelling points. XBC2, was built from the grounded with the nature of the hybird system in mind, hell, some the tedious bits like the gatcha and merc system were probably added cus they easy like on bus, train, sitting undocked, a any QOL improvements and additions to a XBC2DE that could be panned would not work in XBCX. In essentially with be a test bed to see how well the Switch 2 cus designed from a older hybird to newer is less intense than a pure home console to hybird. A super cool think I think XC2 DE could that isn't talked is add narration by jin in Torna the golden Country, cus that was originally supposed to extra chapters in the main story I imagine Jin basically told the party all these while traveling with the party in Morytha.
As much as I'd like to see a Definitive Edition ASAP, I personally feel they'll probably wait for the Switch 2 to come out first. I'd be happy to be wrong, though
Nia was a blade of a duke of ecshell, a big wig of Torigoth and by extension Gormott. The titans in XBC2 are more independent minded that the colonies is xbc1 and the closet running up candidates, Morag and Zeke sense emperor Nial basically judges himself to be unfit on a throne, thinking Morag should be, are politically volatile choices, and if Rex is King, Nia would become Queen via marriage. We even get a little tease of this in the Fonsa Myma playhouse, Nis is pressed the as a Queen during a skit with Tora, watched on by children. In Alrest, Nia would probably function with her royal advisor Morag. She super cocky so she know she would in over her and lean into her allot for general governing concerns. Rex would probably the head of the Garfront Mercenaries, which be a international policing service, like interpol, Mythra historian cus ya know, Aegis, dromach and Pyra help with speech writing, you kinda see that in the way Nia when she talks formal that is kinda like Dromach.
My reasons why a XC2 Remaster would arrive: 1. First and foremost, another mainline Xeno title is going to be released, new OR old. 2. If I were the developers, there would be a lot about XC2 I would and would NOT be proud of. It might be the best of the 3 in the trilogy, but it no doubt has some of the worst features. It has the worst menus, the worst tutorials, and the worst system to acquire blades which amounts to a significant waste of time. It is the best game with the most room for improvement and XC3 really cemented that they can now make a great game with an experience that feels like butter from start to finish. 3. XC3 music in XC2? If they actually threw XC3 characters as blades in XC2... day 1 purchase. (Also, hated the XC1 models in XC2, cmon... why were their eyes so lifeless lol?)
Yeah, they underutilized side quest rewards and the salvaging mechanic. Imagine pulling a comestic from a hard chest, or unlocking a blade throgh a intricate sidequest... or clothes or a blade for helping someone.
Please remake Xenoblade 2, that game is so good it deserves another chance. Why did people hate that game: Poor tutorials, too much fanservice (just give the player for more alternate costumes, like in Xenoblade 1), and not great voice acting (redub), (also the blade gatcha system but that can't really be solved). All of these issues can be resolved with a remake or rerelease, and on better hardware that game would be magical all over again.
About the Gacha system, I have 2 solutions, but these will be exclusive to the end-game, maybe even locked to chapter 10 of NG+. 1. If you still have random rare blades left to collect [glares angrily at KOS-MOS like a child who got caught with her hand in a cookie jar a half hour be dinner] I'd like to be able to buy cores with a guaranteed chance at one of the remaining random rares. 2. I'd also like to see a Blade Builder type of thing. Give us control over the weapon type, body type, and battle/field skills. Anything that can exist on a common, would be available to you here. Dark element Katana with 5 levels each of Orb Master, Slamdown (same as Dahlia's Spotlight), and Ultimate Combo? It can be yours!
Maybe Rex became leader of Alrest at the end and the three of them became his queens, but the other two were needed for a greater purpose when Origin was built 😉 so the role fell to her.
The unanswered questions do depend on xenoblade 2, sure, and that's not a coincidence, but... just because the lore of the whole series comes from 2 lmao. It's the corner stone of the whole trilogy's lore with core crystals, the conduit, Klaus being there, the trinity processor, etc. while 1 has... Alvis, which already kinda counts towards 2's trinity processor and... that's basically it. and 3 reuses 2's lore. so yeah. Also, Nia didn't become Queen. People need to stop with that. Nia is the queen IN AIONIOS. Aionios is its own world with its own rules, Melia and Nia are part of Origin themselves, so they were brought to Aionios in a different manner than the other did and that's what led them to have a special position BUT Keves and Agnus don't exist out of Aionios, they're Z's creations, along with the 10 years lifespan and the cycle of reincarnation. And the "queens" are robots imitating Melia and Nia, sort of figures to idolize and look up to to motivate child soldiers, I'm not sure the real Melia and Nia were ever actually queens at any single moment to begin with. or before the cycle became a thing (also, Rex came into Aionios later, so it could be why Nia took his role: there's one king and he's not there yet, and three queens, two of which won't ever enter Aionios, and the third being herself). Nia is a regent or one of the three queens consort, if you want. Rex definitely is the king outside of Aionios, he's such an obvious pick: Rex has a humble background, he's a hard working guy that knows what an actual job is, and ended up being the master driver, he's the hero who climbed the world tree and defeated the aegis, wielded another, and married it (twice), and could use its power better than even Addam did. He has an actual armed force that's operating in all countries and is loved by all, and he even "created" (indirectly, as a result of his actions) this massive land now shared by these "countries" (which probably fused into a unique nation led by Rex but with, say, a Mor Ardain region administered by Niall, etc. to represent how wars are now pointless etc. so they united, kinda like how at the end of 1, colonies have homs, nopons, high entia and machina). Rex personally helped a lot of people across all of Alrest, may possibly be a descendant of Addam, and he's friends with royalty of all countries (Morag and Niall for Mor Ardain, Zeke and Eulogimenos for Tantal, Zeke again for Indol, Kinda Addam for Torna, I guess? and Nia was a gormotti noble blade, while Vandham is Urayan royalty but said fuck that and left)... And on that one picture, HE is the main focus, at the center of it all. If it's a picture of the royal dynasty, the main focus will be the king (or queen), if Nia was the queen, the composition would be waaay different. Zeke even mentions how "only someone who grew up in a peaceful place like Leftheria could ..." ...I don't remember the exact end of the quote, but you get the point. ...Also did I mention that HIS NAME IS LITERALLY "King". That's a lot of reasons to make that boy the king, if you ask me, he's THE figure anyone can rally behind. He already has important and capable people by his side to help him in his rule, too. And to me, Mythra's kid will be at least adressed in Xenoblade 4, even if it's not a party member (bare minimum mentionned in text or shown in a flashback), because it'll likely be the heir to this United States of Alrest (USA!? NLA was part of Alrest all along!? (no, XCX uses cooldowns and not auto attacks to fill art gauges 😂)), and I'd bet on a son (this way one male child = no succession war or whatever even though I assume Rex's kids wouldn't fight among themselves for power, but who knows, some people think Dirk is this child...), who would be looking like Addam but blonder (closer to Mythra), and named Milton (to give closure to Mythra's arc). Or he may have Pneuma's emerald green hairs. ...maybe for a second, awakened form, who knows? Or I could also totally see Xenoblade 4 have two party members being the children of this "Milton", and see him be in his 40s, already king, with one of the siblings being the MC, and the other his sister, and SHE would have the green hairs in a Pneuma-like form... (but I'm not sure Xenoblade 4 will have such a direct connection to Xenoblade 1-3, it may take place over 100 years later) By the way, if they add a small FC-like story in a 2 DE, it could be about young adult Rex being accepted as an actual king, or take place later, either before or after 3, and be about his son making a name for himself (and people shall recall that name) as the heir, with personal struggles about being fit or not to rule over people, about having big shoes to fill, having to replace such heroic figures, etc. And this way, fan-service wise, they could put Glimmer and Mio in the party, too. that'd be really nice to have all three in the party. especially if the rest of the party is Rex, Pyra, Mythra, and Nia (and Maybe Zeke/Pandy/Linka, or other children of other characters). And another (kinda cursed) thought: if after the worlds fused both nations from Alrest and Bionis want to fuse too, the best way would be through a political marriage. Melia is the Empress and likely still is single, with no child, so SHE would marry... with Rex then!? that would make his harem ending even crazier lmao (or she could marry Mythra's son, ig). If Melia x Rex is real, then Mythra's kid is likely a girl (as the pneuma core is the feminine psyche, so maybe they cannot have male children), and the next king would be Rex x Melia, and that'd open the door for really cool charadesigns of a king with wings and possibly some pneuma core crystal aspect? (leftovers to Rex's shared life with Pyra/Mythra, like how a Mio concept art showed her final design but with the pneuma core, so that was possibly a dropped idea?) Anwyays, that ended up becoming a huge wall of text, sorry... but TL;DR: No need to explain how Nia became the queen, since she's NOT the queen to begin with
Any chance that Crys is Mythra’s child? I know people say he couldn’t be because he’s Kevesi, but it’s said that he worked with M to create the homecoming and off-seeing 1,000 years into the past. Do we really have confirmation that he’s actually Kevesi and not a consul the entire time? He does look way too much like Shulk. I saw one person suggest that maybe he was Glimmer and Nikol’s son. Who knows? 🤷♂️
Oh my I’d love a remaster of Xenoblade chronicles 2❤ and yea the game actually could use a remaster. The games not perfect and definitely has its own issues. I’d buy a remaster of the game in a heart beat. Especially if it runs a bit better. I want my girl Elma to be playable are right😤😤😤🎉
I have all the blades of this awful gatcha system and the last one was... Kos mos. 😅 I don't want to restart without my S tiers blade a definitive édition. Plus Xeno 2 has a lot of content with the arena DLC and of course Torna. What a definitive could add ? Torna in the main story, no gonna happend i think.

Yeah, 2 DEFINITELY would benefit from a DE-like remaster, if only to fix the QoL with a brand new UI, better tutorials, etc. and maybe other Blades like guest characters from other Xenoblade games (I'm Thinking Melia to represent FC, Mio for Xenoblade 3, and Glimmer and maybe Linka from FR), and make Jin and Malos (and Dolmes lmao) finally playable.

Especially battles should award a different amount of Trust if you beat an overleveled Unique Monster compared to underleveled generics.
Dear god I'd love a cosmetics overhaul for Xenoblade 2
What do mean cosmetics overhaul?
@@PJDAltamirus0425 What the video described, plus the ability to have separate cosmetic equipment from your equipped stat-determining equipment, a la Xenoblade 1 DE, including with core chips
@@hyliastone286 Ah, yeah, that would be fun. Imagine like someone rummaging through tora's closet and stumbling upon diguise pyra esque dresses for Mythra and Nia and a sidequest you have find for Nia, Mythra and Rex to wear them.. Tora convincing Mythra and Nia to wear by saying Rex would love it and their reactions to that.
@@PJDAltamirus0425 Right up until the suggestion of more weird and uncomfy fanservice moments, I loved the idea. Seriously, if we get a Xenoblade 2 DE, those creepy, CREEPY fanservicey elements need to be *heavily* reworked, limited, and rein in as much as possible. Ideally I'd like several character designs redone (mostly of the rare blades) and Tora's whole creepy misogynistic shtick to be heavily rewritten to be less "haha horni nopon let's sexualize every woman" and more "well-meaning yet ultimately maladjusted weeb slowly learns to be less toxic about women," or at least show the beginnings of that arc. And I mainly want more cosmetics in the hopes that I can de-sexualize the main cast. Aside from Brighid - in her case it's tasteful
@@hyliastone286 Eh.... diguised Pyra outfit is adorable and I would interested see a Nia and Mythra version of it, mine was a abet awkward sidequest tie in. Still thin it is less wierd that the maid lesson Tora tried to give Pyra in Uraya but that is a low bar. Another is be thing where everyone dresses like Morag and Morag teases the crew about it. The rare blade redesigns probably wouldn't happened besigned like... color and designs variations of leggings cus alot of are cus.... decent with one that just makes it wierd, expect dalia...... idk if there is fixing Dahlia. Brighid would actuall be super easy, just darken the center stripe a bit more and it be perfect. They do that on Sena's throw back outfit. Tora........ yeah.... he is creep and wierdo.... I think what they going with is a mixture of goku from dragonball, goku lived in the mountains with a martial arts teacher so didn't have boundaries as a kid so in that show, he actually groped people several not knowing what the big deal is. Tora is younger than Rex and raised by two massive perverts..... so he grows to be massive pervert... no one is truly alone... good or bad..... they ran extremely hyper tasteless cringe worthy extent. Also, top Riki cus everyone loves and overlooks even though he bangs to a irresponsible degree to they into debt and is implied in FC to be a crappy father, with Nenee basically stating she kinda had to raise Kino. No that I think about, the flamboyant to the downright mardi gras stripper design of the rare blades came to two places, time to create characters so loading out to guest artis (probably another why so many of the rare are in the gatcha mechinic, and if your check old forums...... being just generally not carrying the crazy skimpy outfits of Mechon Fiora and..... fucking Sharla....... almost, which is basically almost of her clothing options is XCDE. Not to excuse cus yeah, loads of them are in bad taste. Another, selling figure cus this was one the first titles on the Switch.... As far as great female character designs in XC2, I like Lora's, Driver Nia's, Praxis, Morag, Brighid, Zenobia (shirtless is barbarian aesthetic is a wind barbarian in my she gets a pass), Haze, Crosette's designs. An think a easy thing to fix as far as the rare blade's is the breast physics, I remember absolutely mind numbing wierd and distracting bit such as Vale's, Dahlia's, Perun's. Also, this might nipticky, but I it cool to the fool with the camera during a blade combo, so ya have the zoom in on a character's butt, crotch, clip through the character, thus ruining the hype from a generally awesome time.
I assumed Nia was chosen as "queen" because she's a blade eater and has the longest life span besides maybe Pyra and Mythra. And Pyra and Mythra were needed elsewhere to help with Origin. Same why Melia was picked, they both live for hundreds of years. Melia just so happened to be actual royalty. Like when origin reset I don't think Nia is still queen of Alrest.
I am entirely fine with Xenoblade DE2 coming out.(He says, despite still having to do the insane grind to 100% in the original release)
Honestly, I think we might get a Trilogy Collection, similar to what we got in 2009 with the Metroid Prime Trilogy. All three games, plus the DLC, in one package.
I would KILL for a XC2:DE, the worst things the game has are totally fixable with a remaster, such as UI, tutorials, gacha system
You make a compelling points. XBC2, was built from the grounded with the nature of the hybird system in mind, hell, some the tedious bits like the gatcha and merc system were probably added cus they easy like on bus, train, sitting undocked, a any QOL improvements and additions to a XBC2DE that could be panned would not work in XBCX. In essentially with be a test bed to see how well the Switch 2 cus designed from a older hybird to newer is less intense than a pure home console to hybird. A super cool think I think XC2 DE could that isn't talked is add narration by jin in Torna the golden Country, cus that was originally supposed to extra chapters in the main story I imagine Jin basically told the party all these while traveling with the party in Morytha.
As much as I'd like to see a Definitive Edition ASAP, I personally feel they'll probably wait for the Switch 2 to come out first. I'd be happy to be wrong, though
Nia was a blade of a duke of ecshell, a big wig of Torigoth and by extension Gormott. The titans in XBC2 are more independent minded that the colonies is xbc1 and the closet running up candidates, Morag and Zeke sense emperor Nial basically judges himself to be unfit on a throne, thinking Morag should be, are politically volatile choices, and if Rex is King, Nia would become Queen via marriage. We even get a little tease of this in the Fonsa Myma playhouse, Nis is pressed the as a Queen during a skit with Tora, watched on by children. In Alrest, Nia would probably function with her royal advisor Morag. She super cocky so she know she would in over her and lean into her allot for general governing concerns. Rex would probably the head of the Garfront Mercenaries, which be a international policing service, like interpol, Mythra historian cus ya know, Aegis, dromach and Pyra help with speech writing, you kinda see that in the way Nia when she talks formal that is kinda like Dromach.
For what tho? 2 holds up perfectly fine...
My reasons why a XC2 Remaster would arrive:
1. First and foremost, another mainline Xeno title is going to be released, new OR old.
2. If I were the developers, there would be a lot about XC2 I would and would NOT be proud of. It might be the best of the 3 in the trilogy, but it no doubt has some of the worst features. It has the worst menus, the worst tutorials, and the worst system to acquire blades which amounts to a significant waste of time. It is the best game with the most room for improvement and XC3 really cemented that they can now make a great game with an experience that feels like butter from start to finish.
3. XC3 music in XC2? If they actually threw XC3 characters as blades in XC2... day 1 purchase. (Also, hated the XC1 models in XC2, cmon... why were their eyes so lifeless lol?)
Yeah, they underutilized side quest rewards and the salvaging mechanic. Imagine pulling a comestic from a hard chest, or unlocking a blade throgh a intricate sidequest... or clothes or a blade for helping someone.
Please remake Xenoblade 2, that game is so good it deserves another chance. Why did people hate that game: Poor tutorials, too much fanservice (just give the player for more alternate costumes, like in Xenoblade 1), and not great voice acting (redub), (also the blade gatcha system but that can't really be solved). All of these issues can be resolved with a remake or rerelease, and on better hardware that game would be magical all over again.
About the Gacha system, I have 2 solutions, but these will be exclusive to the end-game, maybe even locked to chapter 10 of NG+.
1. If you still have random rare blades left to collect [glares angrily at KOS-MOS like a child who got caught with her hand in a cookie jar a half hour be dinner] I'd like to be able to buy cores with a guaranteed chance at one of the remaining random rares.
2. I'd also like to see a Blade Builder type of thing. Give us control over the weapon type, body type, and battle/field skills. Anything that can exist on a common, would be available to you here. Dark element Katana with 5 levels each of Orb Master, Slamdown (same as Dahlia's Spotlight), and Ultimate Combo? It can be yours!
Please give me another reason to play XB2. I would definitely buy the DE version of that game
Maybe Rex became leader of Alrest at the end and the three of them became his queens, but the other two were needed for a greater purpose when Origin was built 😉 so the role fell to her.
The unanswered questions do depend on xenoblade 2, sure, and that's not a coincidence, but... just because the lore of the whole series comes from 2 lmao. It's the corner stone of the whole trilogy's lore with core crystals, the conduit, Klaus being there, the trinity processor, etc. while 1 has... Alvis, which already kinda counts towards 2's trinity processor and... that's basically it. and 3 reuses 2's lore. so yeah.
Also, Nia didn't become Queen. People need to stop with that. Nia is the queen IN AIONIOS. Aionios is its own world with its own rules, Melia and Nia are part of Origin themselves, so they were brought to Aionios in a different manner than the other did and that's what led them to have a special position BUT Keves and Agnus don't exist out of Aionios, they're Z's creations, along with the 10 years lifespan and the cycle of reincarnation. And the "queens" are robots imitating Melia and Nia, sort of figures to idolize and look up to to motivate child soldiers, I'm not sure the real Melia and Nia were ever actually queens at any single moment to begin with. or before the cycle became a thing (also, Rex came into Aionios later, so it could be why Nia took his role: there's one king and he's not there yet, and three queens, two of which won't ever enter Aionios, and the third being herself). Nia is a regent or one of the three queens consort, if you want.
Rex definitely is the king outside of Aionios, he's such an obvious pick:
Rex has a humble background, he's a hard working guy that knows what an actual job is, and ended up being the master driver, he's the hero who climbed the world tree and defeated the aegis, wielded another, and married it (twice), and could use its power better than even Addam did. He has an actual armed force that's operating in all countries and is loved by all, and he even "created" (indirectly, as a result of his actions) this massive land now shared by these "countries" (which probably fused into a unique nation led by Rex but with, say, a Mor Ardain region administered by Niall, etc. to represent how wars are now pointless etc. so they united, kinda like how at the end of 1, colonies have homs, nopons, high entia and machina). Rex personally helped a lot of people across all of Alrest, may possibly be a descendant of Addam, and he's friends with royalty of all countries (Morag and Niall for Mor Ardain, Zeke and Eulogimenos for Tantal, Zeke again for Indol, Kinda Addam for Torna, I guess? and Nia was a gormotti noble blade, while Vandham is Urayan royalty but said fuck that and left)... And on that one picture, HE is the main focus, at the center of it all. If it's a picture of the royal dynasty, the main focus will be the king (or queen), if Nia was the queen, the composition would be waaay different. Zeke even mentions how "only someone who grew up in a peaceful place like Leftheria could ..." ...I don't remember the exact end of the quote, but you get the point. ...Also did I mention that HIS NAME IS LITERALLY "King".
That's a lot of reasons to make that boy the king, if you ask me, he's THE figure anyone can rally behind. He already has important and capable people by his side to help him in his rule, too.
And to me, Mythra's kid will be at least adressed in Xenoblade 4, even if it's not a party member (bare minimum mentionned in text or shown in a flashback), because it'll likely be the heir to this United States of Alrest (USA!? NLA was part of Alrest all along!? (no, XCX uses cooldowns and not auto attacks to fill art gauges 😂)), and I'd bet on a son (this way one male child = no succession war or whatever even though I assume Rex's kids wouldn't fight among themselves for power, but who knows, some people think Dirk is this child...), who would be looking like Addam but blonder (closer to Mythra), and named Milton (to give closure to Mythra's arc). Or he may have Pneuma's emerald green hairs. ...maybe for a second, awakened form, who knows? Or I could also totally see Xenoblade 4 have two party members being the children of this "Milton", and see him be in his 40s, already king, with one of the siblings being the MC, and the other his sister, and SHE would have the green hairs in a Pneuma-like form... (but I'm not sure Xenoblade 4 will have such a direct connection to Xenoblade 1-3, it may take place over 100 years later)
By the way, if they add a small FC-like story in a 2 DE, it could be about young adult Rex being accepted as an actual king, or take place later, either before or after 3, and be about his son making a name for himself (and people shall recall that name) as the heir, with personal struggles about being fit or not to rule over people, about having big shoes to fill, having to replace such heroic figures, etc. And this way, fan-service wise, they could put Glimmer and Mio in the party, too. that'd be really nice to have all three in the party. especially if the rest of the party is Rex, Pyra, Mythra, and Nia (and Maybe Zeke/Pandy/Linka, or other children of other characters).
And another (kinda cursed) thought: if after the worlds fused both nations from Alrest and Bionis want to fuse too, the best way would be through a political marriage. Melia is the Empress and likely still is single, with no child, so SHE would marry... with Rex then!? that would make his harem ending even crazier lmao (or she could marry Mythra's son, ig). If Melia x Rex is real, then Mythra's kid is likely a girl (as the pneuma core is the feminine psyche, so maybe they cannot have male children), and the next king would be Rex x Melia, and that'd open the door for really cool charadesigns of a king with wings and possibly some pneuma core crystal aspect? (leftovers to Rex's shared life with Pyra/Mythra, like how a Mio concept art showed her final design but with the pneuma core, so that was possibly a dropped idea?)
Anwyays, that ended up becoming a huge wall of text, sorry... but TL;DR: No need to explain how Nia became the queen, since she's NOT the queen to begin with
I really feel like a Xenosaga remaster is more likely, ngl
And more necessary.
Any chance that Crys is Mythra’s child? I know people say he couldn’t be because he’s Kevesi, but it’s said that he worked with M to create the homecoming and off-seeing 1,000 years into the past. Do we really have confirmation that he’s actually Kevesi and not a consul the entire time? He does look way too much like Shulk. I saw one person suggest that maybe he was Glimmer and Nikol’s son. Who knows? 🤷♂️
10/10 thumbnail had me laughing for a while lol
Oh my I’d love a remaster of Xenoblade chronicles 2❤ and yea the game actually could use a remaster. The games not perfect and definitely has its own issues. I’d buy a remaster of the game in a heart beat. Especially if it runs a bit better.
I want my girl Elma to be playable are right😤😤😤🎉
XENOBLADE WARRIORS PLEASE
I have all the blades of this awful gatcha system and the last one was... Kos mos. 😅 I don't want to restart without my S tiers blade a definitive édition.
Plus Xeno 2 has a lot of content with the arena DLC and of course Torna. What a definitive could add ? Torna in the main story, no gonna happend i think.
pardon?
I've never played Xenoblade 2 ...
One day i'll buy it with my own money
And if Xenoblade 2 Definitive Edition came out
I'll play it 🥹😭
