Xenoblade X thread. What are you working on?
For those who have done Yelv's affinity missions, how did you react when you learned thathis memories of his buddy are fake, there's another Yelv mim in the maintenance center, and that Eleonora is involved?
I just got it today and I'm really enjoying it so far, about six hours into it
God that snare drum in NLA makes me want to tear my ears out what the fuck were they thinking

Got the game today and played for about four hours.
No idea what the fuck I'm doing, even though I played XBC. Should probably just read the manual.
Is there an easy way to tell who's aggro'd at who like there was in XBC?

I don't get this, what the hell were they defending from the fat slug at the end then? How were they able to make that cat without the data?

That was the computer
And the cat is not a high intelligent being, so it's just a cat
They can make humans but no ai in the database
Working on affinity grinding via the support missions in the barracks. Want to finish the character affinity quests for quite a number of my team.
I'm post end-game. Already have a firm grasp of my Duelist set-up and built a custom lvl 60 Mastema (and Ares 90). Right now, despite all the very nice gear I have, the Ares is still my safer and more powerful option, sadly.
>>321496819

I think this OST would have gone from 5/10 (average) to 7 maybe 8 out of 10 easily...
...by removing all the vocals.
>>321497181
I spent so much time grinding Seidrs for advanced cranks that I wound up getting almost every non-Yggralith drop I need for Ares 90. I could probably make it right now if I had two golden Yggralith hearts.
Knowing I can make that but not my level 60 Skell is killing me inside.

Yes, otherwise it'sRIP all mims in NLA. Elma even points out that the ganglion only needed to stall by that point and the humans would shut down
>>321496091
My face waswhy the fuck didn't Elma deactivate her mimeosome when they landed instead of waiting 2 months and actually in the core? She clearly believed that the Lifehold Core was still working since everyone had personalities and functioned. She clearly believed it was very close since she calmed Lin down earlier that there was no "lag" in their actions. She also didn't use the terminal, at all, to turn off her mimeosome, either. She just said, "it's faster to show you." Then beep boops on her wrist, collapses, and the real body emerges and she steps out. Stupid idiot woman, you coulda done that at the START.Where's the Lifehold?
We can't find it, sir.
Well, Vandham, since I'm the only living body in it, I'll just shut down and turn on the backup power with my real body. Also, I'll take a peek outside and describe what I see, let you narrow down what you see.
Cool, Elma. You do that.
K...all done. Everything is working. Outside is nothing but ocean, so it's floating somewhere in the ocean. Don't bother searching only landmass for the lifehold.
Got it, be there in a jiffy. Maybe send out a private signal and we'll be there in, like, 2 hours.

>>321497712
I wanted to say something like you can only open it from the outside or had no way to contact them once it's activated, but fuck. That was some dumb shit
Just got to NLA
About to hop on a thing and take a tour.
How long til I get my own mech?
>>321497295
Frankly, the Ares 90 is still better. The only reason the lvl 60 customs can outperform it is the use of superweapons. Even then, it's just to OHKO, and requires tons and tons of equipment and end-level augments to get it right.
I suppose the lvl 60s are also capable of a lot more of the fun different arts than Ares 90's 4 arts, but the Ares 90 is far more evasive, has more fuel, has more power, and it overall just a superior weapon right outta the box. Don't feel too bad.
Also, you should (or should've) just grinded the global nemesis for reward tickets. Break all the appendages and abandon. You'll get a couple hundred tickets each run.

I bought the hardcover Prima guide. Did I do good?I think I did. It's pretty nice so far.
>>321495551
Seriously surprised the hell out of me. The only quest in the game to 'end' and then continue on with a cutscene, right?
Sadly, there's not really much to discuss. It's just Takahashi leaving yet another 'wait what' plot point behind.
>>321497712
because if the lifehold was under the ocean or the section she was in fucked up, in a volcano, etc. she would have been fucked
there were too many variables
>>321497767
Almost all Arts will attack with "Weapon's Element" and the point is that there are weaknesses in all the enemies to certain elements. Generally though? Pointless.
>>321498181
According to many Amazon reviews it's very badly put together.
>>321498331
Examples? I don't see any gaps.
>>321498015
I could do the grinding tomorrow. Fighting Yggralith down to 25% of its health before LOLBUFFS isn't that hard. I just don't wanna constantly rely on Ares, if that makes any sense. It's the end-all weapon, I'm sure, but I wanna give attention to my favorite Skell.

The ground version of Black Tar is great though.
The Skell version is complete shit.
>>321495551
I'm about 30 hrs in, got my first skell.
I'm really not used to the way escaping combat works. Often while I'm exploring I'll be ambushed by random high level enemy and since emergency escape just reloads you at the last landmark you visited it has no advantage to just allowing yourself to be killed, so I always end up running in a direction as fast as I can, which works about 30% of the time since the way the combat works you don't have to be anywhere remotely near something to hit it.
But now that I have the skell, it makes me want to explore even LESS now that if that happens and my skell is destroyed there are actual consequences.
Is there an easier way to escape a level 70 simian dropping out of nowhere and raping my face? It's a really fun game regardless.

I'm going to purposely ignore all of them until I have a flying Skell. At that point I'll use a guide because fuck remembering which ones I had found.
>>321497934
Enjoy it anon. Game loses all its wonder after you beat chapter 6 and get your skell.
I'm so glad I 20% Sylvalum and at least visited Cauldros before finishing chapter 6.
I was first in 5 time attacks the day I stopped playing was pretty much done and borrowed a wii u
did i keep any first places senpai? i didn't really try in the ones with more than 2 enemies
>>321497960
Every scenario in the game was written for plot convenience only. Kinda how Takahashi works with all his Xeno series.
Give everything religious themes.
Write every character to be motivated out of selfishness except for his true hero.
Don't worry about internal consistency; it's a cutscene. It'll be fine.
There's LOTS of inconsistencies. And, as everyone here agrees, lots of loose ends. Dropped potential. I think the game would have benefitted the most by exploring L's character. It would answer questions about Mira, about this singular being with language idiosyncrasies that shouldn't exist, and be far more exciting of a twist to include to the story thanLao being a traitor oh gosh oh dear, kill the sunavabitch who cares. Clearly not BLADE, because there's so much backstabbing and outright murdering xenophobia in this game, no one give a shit if Lao was permanently gone for his shit reason of missing his dead family.
>>321498515
Vehicle mode is the best way to escape things, till you can fly. There's no real penalty to getting your robot blown up, if you can make the qte afterwards. And even if you run out of insurance, it's not that expensive to fix up.

Good thing she waited until there was less than 2% and in the middle of a huge battle with aliens where tons of her colleagues were dying to decide it was worth it.Also, she firmly believed it wasn't wrecked or in a dangerous spot because of the general safety after at least 2 months. Also, as the Qlu alien who was solely responsible for all the Skell and lightspeed/shield technology to make humans spacefaring, she probably would've trusted the Lifehold's design to suitably withstand external problems to protect everything inside no prob.

>>321498663
There's a qte? I tried going after a big deerlike fucker with it but I got raped anyway. I kept seeing something with L&R while I was attacking but it went away too quickly.
It just sucks that if I'm trying to take on a big bad and a screw up I can't just try again right away, wouldn't you have to fast travel to the barracks, fix er up, fast travel back etc? and when/how do you fly?
>>321498374
You mean the real Yggralith? Nah, do the Squad Mission in the Barracks (though I think he's gone now, gonna have to wait another week or two). That one you can just bust his wings, tail, head and chest up then abandon. Telethia Plume is the same way, but easier (and less rewarding).

does it? to be honest I'm over 30 hours in and I only have a vague idea what TP is

>>321498795
>>321498857
Why is Nagi #1 Husbando?????
>>321498549
I'm not sure what they expected from it. I just wanted a compendium of basic information at my hands. Did they really expect special insight and tips or for them to handhold the player through literally every side mission? It's got a bestiary with all the enemy stats. It's got a guide to affinity missions and the main story. Good enough for me.
>>321499310
Because he's old in a profession with a high mortality rate.
>>321498981
you get flight after chapter 9, it's a mission on the mission board
the trigger thing that pops up is when you stagger an enemy you can hold those buttons to bind them, making all attacks do double damage while you hold them, in my experience, if someone else in my party has a skell they'll immediately close in and try to bind anything I stagger so I never have to bother
after your skell is destroyed, the soul voice circle will pop up when you're ejecting, if you time it perfect you don't lose skell insurance, to run away from anything just push b, flip into vehicle mode and run, mobs reset based on how far you are from them, don't worry about your party, there's nothing you should be trying to attack that will kill you instantly, if you hit something and it hits you for like 2k or something even when you're in a skell then get the fuck out as fast as possible, if it does more than that then you're an idiot for even thinking you could kill it
general rule of thumb is on foot dont attack unless it's white or possible purple if you're confident, if in a skell, if it's big don't attack unless it's white, if it's small don't attack if it's red, blue you can maybe kill depending on what it is, purple you should be fine
>>321499084
I don't really get soul voice either. Do they ever give you a tutorial on it or do is it buried in the manual?
>>321498656
He already said that XCX had two major reasons why the story was lacking
1) They had dropped their first story and adapted it so it could be done with a silent CAC
2) This was Monolith's first HD game and they wanted to put their focus on the gameplay and the world rather than the story. He has said that the next game they do is going to be more story based since they understand the concepts of HD development more now.
>>321499440
Press B when the circles overlap. Goodstuff happens.
So Mediators are the cuck division right?
Like nobody would actually willingly become one?
>>321499082
Tension Points accumulate from your auto-attacks (and arts if you have the right augment or armor/weapon skills). You need 1000 TP to activate TP arts or 3000 to go into overdrive or revive a teammate.
>>321498981
Oh, also get a G-Buster at first opportunity.

>>321499730

>>321498976
Incorrect.The only reason Qlu are mentioned are they are the only ones with Trion based technology (barriers). This is noticed when the Lifehold has Trion-based barriers keeping out the Ganglion and Luxaar is pissed because "that technology doesn't exist outside the Qlu system!" Elma, being the only alien responsible to giving alien technology to Earth humans, even stowing aboard the White Whale, is very obviously then a member of the Qlu system. Not in-game, but the original artwork and preliminary art/writing that came with the official stuff depict Qlu aliens and their ships. They look like Elma.Celica is just some sorta cat people from some planet somewhere. Maybe the last of her kind, maybe the last of her village. She's just sum xeno.
>>321499440
it's a good idea to read the manual, tbqh family, there's a lot of stuff the game doesn't teach you that's important to know
soul voice is two things, the circle that pops up or your party calling out to you
when someone calls out to you, one type of your arts will light up, and if you use one of that type, you and the person who called out will heal a little and you get some other small buff, when I say type I mean color, even if it doesn't do what they call out for color is all that matters, like if they call out for healing or a buff just use a green art and it will work, even if the green art doesn't heal or buff them
the other kind is the qte circle, which heals everyone for a big chunk of hp, these only trigger when certain things happen, like killing an enemy or destroying a limb, and they don't trigger every time
successful soul voices are the fastest way to grind affinity, and they also increase morale, which increases the power of future soul voices and there are a few arts here and there that are stronger the more morale you have

You'd be naive to believe something like that for any work in any medium. However for it's time Xenogears' story was unique.
>>321497712
This was my immediate thought when she woke up.
The whole plot of this game is fucking retarded. I think it's obvious that after they made the world, the devs were burnt out and just phoned in the rest. The side stories/quests were written by that anime screenwriter, and it shows, because they are much better than the horrible main story/cast.
I see people crying we might not get a sequel. I hope we don't. Please do abandon this rubbish plot.

>>321499481
You're also forgetting that they put less emphasis on the main storyline, and chose to increase focus on the sidequest storylines.
>>321499985
No
They had dropped their first story when they brought up the idea of multiplayer and CACs
Anyone who hasn't, go read Iwata's Ask of XCX
>>321499985
>The side stories/quests were written by that anime screenwriter
Hold up, now. Got a source on that? I refuse to believe one of the guys behind Seed Destiny could've contributed to the best part in this game.
>>321499440
Whenever you do something that can activate a soul voice (like critting, getting low hp, going into overdrive, etc. It depends on your character), you have a chance to get that QTE, if you succeed your character calls out a soul voice. If one of your teammates responds with the right art, you get TP and HP.
On the other side, if you're the one responding to another character's soul voice, you get the TP&HP, but you also get an additional effect depending on what the soul voice was and who said it. The extra effect is displayed down on your art menu and can be stuff like +1 buff tier, +150% damage, +50% to soul heal (which means the HP bonus is bigger), +10 secs to overdrive time, +topple effect, etc.
They also raise affinity between the two characters, so it helps to do them if you can.
How do I not do shit damage? I'm level 50 and my auto attacks do like 300 with Longsword and 27k with a combo. I'm trying to one shot things. And my GBuster with 500 potential only does 50k. What do?
>>321500028
Forget Xenoblade and jump into X already
>>321499240
...no. It's a fine JRPG sci-fi theme, but no literary masterwork. It's a fine game, don't get me wrong, and far better than most garbage that passes for story in that era of gaming, but like most things it isn't driving or comprehensive.
Totally honestly, as far as JRPGS go, Final Fantasy has some pretty great plots and story about them. Hironobu Sakaguchi is an excellent director and with a talented team in the FF heyday.

Which is fine, the game is still very good, but it's unfortunate that they chose to re-route characterization and plot when writers are not the same as programmers. XCX had a lot of potential to give the wonderful world of Mira some actual meaning.

I also fuckin' hate Rock. Wanna make him 15-years-old or something? A pacifist? Meek? Fine, no problem, go for it. He's 40 goddamn feet tall and is a bio-engineered weapon of genocide; he doesn't need to sound like a 15-year-old human child.

Hurr it's a fan wiki that still uses Japanese names, is extremely incomplete, allows anyone to edit it and provides precisely NO source for that assertion. It is not mentioned in-game whatsoever. Nothing about "Qlu" relates to Celica in any way shape or form.It all 100% does to Elma, though. It's very foolish to not make that connection when it's very clear that's the intention.
Elma reassuring people the Lifehold is safe, "take a look at the water's surface."
"There's a shied up! I don't recognize it though!"
"Luxaar, sir, there's a shield up around the Lifehold. It looks like a Trion barrier."
"TRION barrier!? No one should have that technology! It doesn't exist outside the Qlu system!! FUCK!"
"Lol, I'm Elma and I now how all the technology in the Lifehold works. Because, I guess I'll show you, I'm an alien. I gave it to humans 30 years ago."
Don't be dumb.

It's different for each Skell frame.
All it ever does is boost stats. That's it. Oh, and will recover some appendage damage or reduce some cooldown. It's not super important at all. The biggest use it has is giving your arts a faster cooldown and/or increasing the chance you go into the Cockpit view (which makes you invincible and restores all your Arts and lets you use one without any cost of Fuel).
>>321500868
How do they level the fastest?

And it wouldn't be stretching it that Elma simply knew of the tech and adapted it
Elma ain't Qlu, Ceclia is
>>321500968
What rewards?
>>321500158
OHKO things only works with Skells, mostly. Get an Ares 90. If not the Ares 90. get a lvl 50 (0r 60) Skell, drop a superweapon on it and give it tons of augments to beef up it up.
On foot, use Longsword overdrive the culminates in Blossom Dance. You'll do millions upon millions of damage. In the case of the global enemies that won't die and go away, you'll do billions since you never leave overdrive when you're doing it right and you can re-use Blossom Dance, the full tertiary cooldown version, every 10 seconds or so.

True enough but there's literally no reason for Celica to be Qlu and every reason forElma to be Qlu

So what's the best arts to rank up for Elma and Lin? I figure they're the two I do have to worry about as I need to take them on story missions. I'm only level 28 but they're both rank 20 so I figured I'd spend some more BP on them.
Also, are there any arts to just avoid the hell out of? I just unlocked Galactic Knight and have ~300 BP to blow

Hopefully the real thing. I heard the loadiine files are like 20gb, so this better be compressed to hell.
>>321502229
I did read the manual and everything in ot can be figured out buly playing the game or by listening to cutscenes/reading the tips.
Besides one or two vage things that arent in the manual anyway theres nothing you absolutely beed to look up.

Hey man, reading is hard for kids these days.

Specific locations for items and monsters would have been a plus.
Also lack of a table of contents is a glaring omission. The affinity quests are ordered by difficulty, so you're just stuck flipping thru pages til you find the one you want.

So this is my first Xenoblade game and I have absolutely no idea what this combat system is. I feel like I wasted Battle Points (I maxed Back Slash first) and after maxing the Full Metal Jaguar class, I attempted to switch to another but can't wield the Dual Guns/Blades, which I thought was possible if you mastered the class.
I keep hearing people talking about maxing red skills or something, or when going to overdrive alternative purple or green skills or something but I'm a retard.
I think I'm going to start over later.

>I attempted to switch to another but can't wield the Dual Guns/Blades, which I thought was possible if you mastered the class.
You can still do that, but you have to reequip the weapon since it gives you the default class weapons first and have to rearrange your arts.
For example, I'm finished the Astral Crusader line, and now currently in the Duelist line with Assault Rifles and Javelins.
>>321504189
>mfw rateoreki simeara
>>321504142
Your arts are tied to your weapons. Once you max out a branch, you can use that branch's weapon types (and thus its associated arts) with any other class. Upon switching class, just go equip one of your old class's weapon and then go reassign that weapon's arts in your art menu.

So are there any frames worth grinding for aside from muh Ares 90? How long does grinding that even take?
Anyone knows if the updates for this game are big in size?
So far I've downloaded 1.7gb and this thing keeps downloading another 600. This is even bigger than the smash update, so I think I must be downloading something else.

>>321504819
6k tickets for everything on a 90? Thats not too terrible actually.
>>321504998
Yes, it's a standalone game, and good on its own merits.
>>321504714
lv 60 frames will do much more than ares 90 with right customization
you cant customize ares 70 and 90, only adding augment
but for its price, it is cheap and quite effective, you should craft one to farm shit
