I don't really think so, because it feels like the whole point of the story is that the main party is caught between the two sides. Certainly seems like the story will be about stopping the conflict. The trailer and the whole "fighting to live, living to fight" tagline have a real anti-war feel.
I was actually joking with my post lol.
If you're counting Morág and Brighid then you should also count Jin and Malos, their relationship seemed really romantic (more so on Malos' side but still).
I see, then maybe we really are returning to XC1 collectibles.In the trailer they look randomly scattered, especially in that area with the flame-like leaves at ~1min into the trailer. There's at least 4-5 of them in that split second.
I know some spots in 2 were close together, but not to this extent.
We have to see how the function or if they have indicators telling you what class of items are in them.
Lol, definitely waaaaaay nicer than what I suggested. Alternative narcissistic love song Myself, sung to the theme of my girl, replacing girl with self.
the high entia in the black dress? that's Melia
I know you're saying all of this tongue in cheek, but a scene of them bonding over past experiences would be wholesome.
I guess so. Because that's a really freaking dark shade. Go from white to downright black? Like, jeez. lol Though perhaps the lighting engine isn't fully implemented yet or something? Different coloured wings would be cool though. Now I actually want a High Entia with black wings.
Right now I feel the biggest clue we have is the screen on all the weapons, that change between an orobourous, and a circular bar graph of some measurement.
Given that the battle system will be balanced around four party members, our best guess would be to look at how X balanced its combat. Perhaps the Ouroboros power is akin to overdrive, where you build up the team gauge and then go crazy spamming infinite arts? I do think just by having 4 active combatants in each fight teambuilding is going to more dynamic than it was in XC1.
I'm very stupid
There will surely be a shakeup in the formula given the history of the past games. Hard to really predict without any gameplay footage for now.
It’s all good lolI'm very stupid
That first shot of Noah looks straight out of Mo Dao Zu Shi / Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, so it'd be extra disappointing if XC3 is yet another heteros-only event. I'll try not to get my hopes up though.
It seems they're trying to be a little more inclusive since this time the party is not just white people, so maybe there's a chance? Lol
Ah, that's right, I forgot about the final book, 3001!
I don't think it will be THAT different (using a different UI and arts count), but it would be interesting if each group worked differently, like Tora but not limited to 1.
| XC1 group | XC2 group |
| Alternate weapons | Alternate elements |
| Talent Art per weapon, with unique mechanic | Special attack per element, with 3 levels |
| Arts combos (like Dive Sobat or E. Gutbuster) | Elemental combos (like Blade combos) |
| Arts charge over time | Charge on Auto-Atks |
This could be really interesting, tbh! It would give more reason to try and mix and match between the two groups of characters, rather than letting bias for XC1 or XC2 rule the way you build your party.
Same, can't get enough, it's like a dream.
We make good obsessed Xeno fans.
For you and people going back and playing through the Torna expansion, an important tip: The game tells you early on to not worry too much about sidequests and they're optional. That is a lie. Don't neglect sidequests.
Sharp eye! That does stand out... If she dies, though, I wonder
Her right leg (the lifted one) has sort of a faded purpleish cast over it, if you compare it to her other leg. I think that's her lighting effect.
Fur eel?
If it is, it doesnt follow the colour pattern and definitely not that shiny. I hope it meant other thing but it is not a coincidence for sure.
