I just want to be overleveled they never give me that option, I have to grind that myself. All the people who want to waste EXP should give it to me and my crew of level 99s

No and the pacing it depends on how much you want to do side quests, this game has crazy amount of side quests that you can spend hours doing without ever progressing the story.

I don't see what was wrong with those
It might take Nintendo at least 15 years to reach 4K guys (at 30fps, add another 5 years for 60), you better enjoy our 720P Remaster while we can. Long road ahead if you feel down now.

If this does not sell well, at least chances are good that they will double down on the boobs and ass candy waifus for the next release.

Aren’t the Xenoblade game doing better than what they expect normally?
I don’t remember where I read that but I think Nintendo said in the past that they are satisfied with the Xenoblade sales. It’s not a top seller but that’s ok.

I really wanted to see a XBX remaster.
Now I do not. At least, not on the Switch, if this is what they'll put out.

Yeah Nintendo is happy with the IP sales, but this is like the 3rd release for this game. I think they wanted to milk more out of it not get a 720p backlash. Still hope it had good front loaded sales but it won't have the best word of mouth now.
true when it comes to Wii U vs Switch I don't think the power difference is all that mind blowing I would wait at least 2 more power updates before I want to see my Elma in 2K or 1440P

I would buy it digitally if you want it right away and don't mind not having a case / cartridge.
I cancelled my preorder because of the June 2nd delivery date. Ordered with best buy, and it says May 29th delivery.

It'll sell well. Switch selling like hotcakes, and its a major release on the platform.

What a smart Devil.
If it is not the collector's edition, not sure why people even open those to play the game. DO NOT OPEN THE BOX!
Get it from Japan eShop they see Friday sooner unless you are in New Zealand and AUS

You might be right, people who are purchasing the Switch right now with all the next gen hype are not really looking for it to be a beast. I think they just want to say they own a Switch. So weird.

And it wouldn’t be GAF if someone didn’t complain about the resolution and fps
Ridiculous. Xenogears has a good balance of story and gameplay in disc 1. Sure it has lots of dialogue but plenty of cities, dungeons and battles as well. Disc 2 is the way it is because the development team ran out of time and budget. It was an unfortunate situation and the devs made the most out of it. There is nothing stupid about it.
But rest assured that all Xenoblade games never compromise on gameplay.

Last batch for tonight.
Overclocking (this is why I love homebrew) virtually eliminates the dynamic resolution, other than when you're fighting a bunch of dudes. It also allows me to play "full fat" when in handheld. Much happier now.
Nice to not have a sudden drop in the resolution just by turning the camera.

Potentially running it in CEMU at 4K will be interesting too.
I actually don’t think poorly of what I’ve seen so far. On the whole, it looks really good? Still formulating that opinion. But there’s crazy potential for the upgrade this could get there.

Theres plenty of games on the Switch in handheld mode that look better and 3 times sharper. Its either this games engine or the studio doesnt know how to utilize it properly. The game literally looks the same as on Wii except when the cutscenes happen.

I've only ever triple dipped twice in my life, on Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy IV.
It's (Reyn) time to do it again.

Yep, get hyped for 2030 when they release the High Definitive Edition. We will do a 60 day countdown thread.
8k will dynamically drop to 4k when you are on a mountain top rotating the camera

Edit: one thing thats gonna take time to get used is I might try to cancel arts in this game like I did in Xenoblade 2 because I got used to doing that so much.

Despite this whole visual controversy, and however it ends up...
I’m still really looking forward to the game. All the footage I’ve been watching to see about the visuals has had a side effect; it looks tremendously fun, and like a fantastic experience.
I’ve only been able to play a bit of this game. 3DS really wasn’t the right place for it, despite an amazing, almost impossible job done on that version. Getting to finally sink into this classic on the big screen will be
For a whole lot of other people too. This game has never had a straight release in North America, without some kind of ridiculousness being involved, whether it was only being playable on an upgrade system, or NoA deciding that the best RPG of the generation didn’t need to be released, and then only in limited quantities at GameStop, far too late into the Wii era.

I personally have no issue with visuals, I played Xenoblade 2 in both TV and handheld and I had a blast and the resolution really didn’t bother me.Despite this whole visual controversy, and however it ends up...

I love 2, but handheld in that looks almost like gaming on a much older system. It’s just a ridiculous difference from other games on the Switch, especially first party.
For that, handheld kind of became a ‘I don’t have access to the TV right now, and this is the only way I can play it’ last resort thing. Imo, that completely goes against what the Switch is about.
Thankfully, I think the handheld mode here actually looks a lot better for what it is. People said similar about all of Torna, so hopefully that’s the case.

Its definitely using Torna’s engine which was improved version of Xenoblade 2 engine.

Well most stores including Best Buy and EBgames haven't re-open in my area, so if I cancel my Amazon pre-order I have to go with digital copy.
Decision, Decision.
Really? Best buy here isnt open normally but they are still doing curb side.

Day 3
The sword of Mechonis served as a bridge for the Mechon to invade Bionis, when Dunban fought them off with the Monado at the Battle of Sword Valley

Seriously people on TrannyEra and Reddit called this game a quick cash grab just because of dynamic resolution numbers and simply just a wii game port without even looking at the state of game vs the older version.
even the undocked is on par or better than the most technically impressive games like the Witcher 3 and Dragon Quest XI

nice was it still 720P just does not drop?
how safe is homebrew these days, an update from Nintendo won't brick your system?
I have the launch hardware not the revised version
