It had been a minute since I really played Xenoblade Chronicles X, so I started a new game last night. Previously, I was only about 20 hours in.
Got a graphics update for Switch 2: NYCE ✨
Genuinely one of the best JRPGs now, especially in 4K.

It's real! After all these years,the Black and Gold Tecta sleeves! So I'm introducing Golden Onyx Tina. :D Somethin to look forward to drawing in my newest art style! #XenobladeChroniclesX #XenobladeX #XenobladeChroniclesDE #videogame #NintendoSwitch
Almost tore up the Telethia completely before the second phase. #XenobladeChroniclesX #XenobladeXDE #XenobladeChroniclesDE #XenobladeX #NintendoSwitch #Videogames
I wrote out alt text for a Tumblr doodle, so I get to post it here too.
Me, in the shower: ...
Me: Xenoblade X main city hub has a lot of open space with construction hanging over a moat and a water treatment plant right next to the cathedral. I think during the crash much more of the city collapsed into the moat than people like to talk about, and that during the pregame period, cleaning that moat was bad bad bad.
Me: ... did I wash my hair?
I have made my vision of what it will feel like, playing the final game announced in the Nintendo Direct.
If I could choose one collaboration between 2 franchises regardless how unrealistic, it would be Xenoblade X and Stargate SG1.
It's nice how Xenoblade X lets you run around for a bit to get your bearings before getting into your first battle since you've been in cryosleep for some time, remember?

The 2014 treehouse livestream of Xenoblade X is really interesting to look at because they showed nearly the entire class tree.
There are a bunch of changes relating to Arts. Not all blue Arts are TP Arts, some unlock order differences, 2 unused Arts/icons...
And the starting Drifter class has none of its own Arts. It's all other Knife and Assault Rifle Arts but those are also shown at the other classes that normally have them.
It would be cool if Monolith tried the Division concept in Xenoblade X again but actually make them meaningful in gameplay.
I think the biggest problem was that the activities of them just aren't equal in terms of gameplay.
Combat is way more sophisticated than anything else which is probably why nearly all of them gave increased combat stats as their bonus and not effects related to their actual activity.
I just realized how Elma's playstyle is completely unsuited against Void because she really wants to be behind the enemy for bonus damage from some arts and that one skill.
But you can't attack him from behind (or from the sides) at all.
Homage to Samus and Metroid #XenobladeChroniclesX #XenobladeX
Alternate Golden Tina armor without the Tecta arms .

The unfortunate consequence of Lao being designed to be fought on-foot is that I nowadays fight all bosses without Skells anyway so there is a massive drop in difficulty between Vita and Lao.
I slowly get that feeling that we aren't gonna get an official soundtrack release of the new Xenoblade X DE tracks...
I often forget the most important mod for the Wii U version of Xenoblade X that I use: Disable that damn permament "Offline" label!
I cried when Void said "It's voiding time!" as he escaped with the cores.
I remember when Monolith gaslighted me about that black and gold Tecta armor. Yes I am still very bitter.🤣 #XenobladeX #XCX #XenobladeChroniclesX
2017 vs 2026 in Sylvalum #xenobladex #xenoblsdexchroniclesx
Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition (left) & Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U (right) #XenobladeX #xenobladechroniclesx
Sylvalum also gets a special mention of being one of the most beautiful places in Mira. It makes for a nice wintery scene and justifies this getup lol. I also love the song. #xenobladechroniclesx #xcx #xenobladex #NintendoSwitch
Tina's favorite place for adventure is Noctilum. Mine too! Sometimes I go here just to look at the scenery and listen to the music. It's cathartic. #xenobladex #XCX #xenobladechroniclesx
More"Golden Tina" . I was determined to beat chapter 12 w her peak fashion gear. #xenobladex #xenobladechroniclesx #xcx
I managed to recreate this look,fairly easy but the graphics are night and day. I've opted out for the hair since it's non existent and they don't have specific highlighted hair bangs anymore. #xenobladex #xenobladechroniclesx #XCX
Isn't she lovely? Some old looks from the Wii U version I plan on recreating. #xenobladex #xenobladechroniclesx #XCX
Al has balls of steel, challenging Post Chapter 12 Tina like that I chose to do everything out of the mech, melee. Made short work him. :D

Monolith technically has it so easy to please Xenoblade X fans in Xenoblade Genesis.
They just have to randomly throw the word "Samaar" in the script once and we will all act like they have solved world hunger.
Monolith not doing a single Tatsu food joke for Chapter 13 was funnier than those jokes.
If Xenoblade X had a collaboration, then it would've been written like "Xenoblade Chronicles X x Other Franchise"
Every time I'm awake at sunrise I always think of Elma saying "just in time for sunrise".
The actual story reason why you can't assign Skells to your party members at the beginning even though only Cross doesn't have a license is that they don't want Cross to feel left out.
Except H.B., he just wants to prove that he is better than them.
If we ever get Elma as a playable character again in future titles, she should definitely keep her "Strength comes from experience. That's true on any planet." line when leveling up.
What Luxaar actually meant with his line.
I just thought about how the end of Mira would've been much more impactful if chapter 13 had been a later story DLC for the original Wii U version like it was for 2 and 3.
The reason being that there would've been a forced pause between chapter 12 and 13 and the player was more likely to do more side content that are about making Mira one's home before going through chapter 13.
Another brief theory I had about the elves is that they could be belonging to Elma's race.
However, from what we saw, all of them have human skin colors and not that greenish tone Elma's true body has.
Instead of adding an X at the end, Xenoblade Chronicles X should've been called Xenogun Chronicles.
Me: Rolling my eyes when people discussed if the new Fire Emblem is a prequel or sequel to Three Houses. Like, who cares.
Also me: So if those elves are Samaarians, does it play in the past during Void's time or the present/future relative to X?
Because "Void" probably isn't his real name (otherwise his parents really didn't like him), maybe we will meet him before knowing his real identity if those elves are Samaarians.
"This is a land warmed by the light of six suns."
6
You know what else has 6 of something?
The Ares' 6 cores.
Samaarian stuff... please?
Something something, no X2, clown life is eternal.
Anyway new Xenoblade looks cool. I like how the world curves inwards.
Besides that, can't really say much about the brief story bits that we got. Didn't spike my interest yet.
Sadly, no gameplay shown.

RinNoreen (Noreen Pace)'s vocals on this cover of "The Way" from Xenoblade Chronicles X are beautiful. It's featured on Jack Harvey's tribute album, Escape to Mira.

Today I learned about fungal storms, which must've been what inspired that one weather effect in Sylvalum and must be what was used for that one meme of a big cloud of dust going onto a city.
WHO the HELL is this nerd?He looks like if Phog forgot to shave and smoked pot! And he keeps saying "what's popping",holy millennial Batman!And he challenged me to a spar, and my OC is a sparring nut in my head but since she's so powerful people hardly want to partner with her.Idk how to feel about this guy.
I do like his jacket and I'm sad the women don't get to wear it.
With all the recent reverse-engineering projects and PC ports of games, it would be cool if we ever get one for Xenoblade X. One can dream...
Does anyone know where I can find the Sakuraba gold and yellow shirt and matching pants in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition?
