[Tyrath]

Can't wait really, its going to be a fun August.

Also going to squeeze in Chronicles X in June.

It's the only reason I still have my Wii U. Can I get a Switch remaster please

And Switch versions of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD remasters please. Wii U was a bit too good to be a commercial failure as it was.

[Ayn]

I still need to finish X. Main reason (along with Twilight Princess/Wind Waker HD) the thing's even hooked up.

Every time I log in to X I always forget what I was doing. I just know I'm before I get Skells, but..got sidetracked.

Would totally replay an HD remaster from scratch though.

Special edition pre-sale crashed the Nintendo website and everyone who had it in their cart lost it.

There never was a special edition.

just the friends made along the way?

[Corrderio]

Are you sure it's sold out? I was getting a message about maintenance and after refreshing I'm stuck on a "We have a lot of visitors right now" screen.

"Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

So he's right

We truly are...the 3rd Xeno of the Blade.

[Tyrath]

What are we, some kind of Xenoblade Chronicle?

Well, I wasted 10-11hrs today. Had it in the cart and all. Maybe this will actually be a wakeup call for Shitendo, but we all know it won't be.

Been going through Xenosaga 1-3 over the past 2 weeks. In the middle of Xenosaga 3 now. Can see a lot of similarities to Gears (obviously a huge one on this) and some for Blade 1/2/X. Story is pretty good, but feel like it's been way overhyped by the community.

Actually finished the series on like May 15th or 16th but forgot to follow up. Overall, I liked the series as a whole. The gameplay in 1 is kind of meh, but still okay enough.

Xenoaga 2 I think has good gameplay in concept or in theory, but in practice, it's way too slow and it makes it unenjoyable. I like the emphasis on Ziggy, Jr and Momo though. I read the script of Pied Piper and liked it quite a bit. Wish it made it into a game though. Same with A Missing Year.

Saga 3 was definitely the best of the bunch, between the gameplay and story. I really liked seeing the payoffs from the first 2 games. I do wish

Spoiler: show

Albedo

was in it more. They made

Virigil

a lot more enjoyable in this one, compared to the others. Music felt pretty good overall, and better than the other 2 games. Definitely had a lot of hype moments, especially the whole Miltia scenes that focused on Shion and such.

Still don't think they're as great as Xenoblade and Xenogears, but enjoyed the trilogy immensely.

Probably my favorite song from the trilogy:

[Ayn]

Too soon.

To IceSylph, agreed. While I skipped 2 (came out when life was especially hectic/low access to funds) I REALLY enjoyed 3.

[Tyrath]

When I did my replay of Saga, 2 almost killed my forward movement. I'm glad I powered through though because 3 is great

[Gokulo]

The music in 3 is so good because it was made by Yuki Kajiura <3
1 was good too because it's Mitsuda ofc
2 was a weird monster, most of the OST was made by a guy whose name I don't remember but I think most people agreed it wasn't that good, Kajiura did a couple of the tracks and those were a standout in the game
