Just some dude. Not a minor. "I can see it. In this world, all life will walk towards the future hand in hand."

A lot of people are hoping for Fortune's Weave to get additional Part 1 routes for the four other lords. I think that is a fine idea, but it is also funny to think about Bertrand having an entire month of "free time" to stare at a prison wall until Cai shows up to add some color to his day.

That is funny because he also looks like my brother whose ass I also hate. Major bigot.

Not the first time GameStop had done something like this, but it might be the first time I have seen them do it with a console still on the market.

It is hard to explain why the time management stuff is an appealing game mechanic. Stuff like that is part of the challenge and the fun.

I am friends with a dude who hates Persona because the time management stuff gives him anxiety. Thinks missing out on social links ruins an entire playthrough. I kind of get it, as I have reloaded old saves to maximize time, but I also find that way thinking to be very sad. I enjoy those systems.

I am a thorough person when it comes to games, but I know a few people who refuse to play games with missable content. Seems pathological. There is no wrong way to play, but if your measure of a game's quality is how much content you can cram into a single playthrough, are you even having fun?

Crazy how often a character can consistently deliver gold without it ever feeling forced or tiresome.

Hey, everyone, you should watch Paranoia Agent, one of my favorite anime series, for completely unrelated reasons.

Yes, but the distinction from what a lot of people think of when they hear gacha is that there are no microtransactions. It is just called that because random characters are unlocked by using a certain item. Aside from that, it is not much different from your typical RNG item drop in any other RPG.

I have seen people making stuff up and just felt like correcting it. What I am trying to say is the "win in the fight, lose in the cutscene" bit is not regular in Xenoblade 2. It is simply not the case. It is also not true that it is full of unwinnable fights. There is very little scripted nonsense.

Noble Wrot @noblewrot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Getting into less vague spoils, I am not counting the fights interrupted by cutscenes, like when Mythra and Pneuma awaken. The first halves of those battles are the real fight, and they are basically handed to you after the mid-battle cutscene. You still have to earn that victory, though.

Noble Wrot @noblewrot.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
In Xenoblade 2, there is only one time you win a fight and lose in a cutscene, at the start of chapter 3. It still turns out favorably. The only unwinnable battle is at the end of chapter 6. Every other post-battle cutscene has Rex either gain the upper hand or be confronted with a separate battle.

Decided to do Cai's story third, and uh... I love the story and characters, but the progression feels like a tutorial, The mentor side-quests especially, even six chapters in. After playing two other routes, his path feels much more constrained. I have so much time and cannot even explore.

I think almost anytime people ask the bird if they want to train or something like that, if it is not "be intimidating", the somersault is usually the best response. A few people , such as Noctula, also bring it up.

I would question everything too if I my inner circle kept asking where I saw myself in five years, after I had accomplished the only goal that has driven me my entire life. And the closest thing she ever provides as a satisfying answer is, "Keep killing people ig idk."

I love Xenoblade 2 dearly. I think that it has a lot to say. It is one of my favorite games in one of my favorite series of. It greatly expands on the themes and broader narrative that have become core to the franchise. I think that it is worth experiencing this part to fully appreciate the whole.

Noble Wrot @noblewrot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Some things are a matter of taste. The many attempts at humor does not always land for a lot of people. At some point, the game starts to take itself seriously and reins in the nonsense. There is also a lot of fan service. The game stops addressing it after a while, but early on, it lingers on it.

Noble Wrot @noblewrot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
As for the negatives, there are a few. The English voice acting is not the best. Great actors, but the performances and deliveries do not sync well with the characters or the context of the scenes. Definitely the weakest of the series. Saying that, I enjoy the English voice cast despite everything.

Noble Wrot @noblewrot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
There are so many things to consider for an optimal experience. The Switch 2 Edition is definitely worth considering for how much it cuts down on menuing, plus it looks better. Regardless, there things like affinity charts and merc missions that you absolutely have to engage with for proper footing.

Noble Wrot @noblewrot.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
It is a really good game. Its systems take a while to get into, especially if you do not invest in certain abilities early on. It is also tonally different from the other games until the story hits its stride several hours in. Once it does, it is a fantastic experience from there on out.

Truly one of the worst introductions to such a beloved character. He embodies several tropes that I dislike, but he it is also what makes him so great. Deeply flawed but ultimately self-sacrificing and good natured.

"You want a fucking piece of me?"
Screenshot of Dietrich from Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave for the Nintendo Switch 2, during Bird Time. He is saying to a small bird, "I have slain giant birds. Yet I feel I would enjoy battling you even more." The bird's highlighted response is to "be intimidating".A cropped screenshot from Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave for the Nintendo Switch 2, depicting the Pale Raven in all its might and glory.

Almost everyone else is trauma dumping on this bird. Meanwhile, Dietrich is threatening to throw hands with it.

I really respect how Xenoblade fans treat spoilers, too, but there seems to be a different standard across the fanbase. Like some people refer to a certain Xenoblade 2 character as Catalyst, but there is fan art everywhere. Xenoblade 3 fanart of the character just makes it explicitly obvious.

I was just pointing out how absurdly quick Nintendo was to show their hand on that one. The game was not even out yet.

Seven was spoiled in one of the first Japanese adverts for Xenoblade, and not even blink and you miss it. They hired Mayu Watanabe, a popular idol at the time, to model as different versions of them in several promotional materials.

I like that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave lets you recruit the kind of unkempt and dishevelled psychopaths that would normally be fodder for you to cut down in the early parts of Fire Emblem games. Usually, you can only recruit conventionally attractive and well-groomed psychopaths.

To answer the question, yes. I have played through and beaten them all, including the remasters, remakes, and most of the spin-offs. Beat all the mainline games again this year.
