No they didn't. The vast majority of reviewers noted the lipsynch was absurdely off in a lot of cutscenes and they clearly didn't have the voice pack. Meanwhile, I've very rarely seen that with the JP dub.

I played the first 2 chapter with the JP game, then the EU game, and they have the exact same animations. They probably just added few more lip flaps at times, but if you go watch cutscenes in English, it is way off.

The lip sync is especially jarring in parts where it is required to watch the movement of the lips to get the message. Hopefully, an XC2 Secret File will shed light on those parts.
Speaking of books, does anyone know if the special edition artbook has any storyboards or short stories? The page count of XC2's art book rivals that of XC1's Secret File. |

None. The book is basically a huge collection of sketches, illustrations and design concepts. Not sure if it has content regarding cut stuff from the game like XBX though. Going to check more thoroughly once I'm done with the game (chap9 with 52h)

I finished the game after 60 hours, and I definitely agree with this statement. To me, it goes like this: XB2 > XB1 >= XBX.
The game itself is a bit rough with some QoL features severely missing there, but aside, it was a wild ride and I think I will increase the timer count around 150h+ at this rate. If only the extra story DLC wasn't in a year... Quote:
Playing it on the wii or the wii U is better, but if all fails, well... there is emulation so heh.

There isn't really any formula yet.
My advice is that you should only roll for 1 extra rare blade for everyone and keep your cores for later. Note that I'd definitely not recommend using too many cores on Rex considering he doesn't really need a lot of them.

Just in case: Think twice before using an overdrive protocol. Those are extremely rare (found 3 of them) and they are one use only.
Also, avoid hybrid build, they are really inefficient in mid and late game.

Physical/Ether hybrid isn't that bad, but it is mainly role hybrid that doesn't work that well, especially for Tanks.
The reason is that you can't exactly have your tank switch from a tank blade into anything else as they are at risk of taking spike damage during that period, and since you have no control on the IA blade switch, it is not a good idea. Even if you control the tank of your party, you are limiting yourself in that case for the same reason. Also, note that the class bonus such as aggro UP is inferior with 2 TNK + 1 ATK/HLR compared to 3 TNK. This kind of optimization isn't exactly necessary early on, but starting approximately from chapter 5, it isn't really a good idea. ATK and HLR are fine with 1 blade from the other type, but you shouldn't put a TNK blade on any of them. But similarly for tanks, the class bonus (damage UP and potion effect UP etc) isn't maximized if you don't put the 3 blades of the same type.

Just got start of Ch 3 and my god the pain of using a rare core crystal plus booster, only to waste by getting a trash bllade is almost unbearable.
Besides that this has been pretty fun so far. I'm staring to get fair good at battle system, but half time it's hard come grips with it when stuff get's really hectic. I'm thinking of going back to Goldmouth and trying to farm some boosters right now.
