What are the best augments for fighting Ygg-something and Telethias?
>>321534489
Lin has no redeeming qualities. At least Elma is cute and talks cute and has cute expressions when she turns into elmao.
>>321534469
Seems like an excessive wait considering she'll still be the same age.
Reminder that defending this game's godawful story is a futile effort
>>321497712
>>321534590
The only augment you need is an Ares90. There's literally no way you can die in Yggralith that way. For Telethia is good to have any augment that ignores reflect of beam/thermal damage.
Unless you mean the real Telethia the Endbringer.Is there a real Yggralith or is it just the global nemesis?
>>321534735
The story is not "godawful". There barely is any. Only thing people can say is "Why didn't this happen" when the game doesn't let anything happen because it ends. All you can do is speculate. Everything in that post can be defended by saying "What the hell do you know? The story ended before it could be explained".
The story is simply non-existent
Post yfw 99 stuffed lobsters
Holy shit wtf I thought this game came out a couple weeks ago not decades. Shit looks like a launch dreamcast title.
Is this what passes for next-gen nowadays kek.

I'm going to be really disappointed if the story really is as bad/nonexistant/whatever as people say. I probably won't buy any other xeno or monolith game again. The gameplay is okay, but I'd rather have a good plot than thousands of affinity/collectathon quests
Just got a second Aeris 90. This one for nagi.
Wonder if we can take down the Everqueen inside the orb together. Any tips for that thing?
>>321535176
Thats the power of the wiiu
>>321534735
They story is more or less a Xeno game. They skipped the Christian imagery this time but if you think Gears or Saga had something 200000000XD times better then I'm calling nostalgia goggles
>>321535156
>Always at the top of my mission list
best girl
>>321535507
What I heard is that getting more Ares90's ain't gonna help you. If you can't one shot it, you cannot kill it.
I never bothered asking what you are actually supposed to do, but yeah, expect wasting all your miranium in party fuel for nothing
>>321535503
>I'm going to be really disappointed if the story really is as bad/nonexistant/whatever as people say
you should always assume that it's even worse than people say. At least then you wont be as disappointed.
>>321535156
Already finished it thanks to the guide.
>>321535503
the affinity quests aren't even really good. People say they give character development, but they don't. Each character in this game is one dimensional and has one single defining trait, and the only thing those affinity quests do is shove the one dimensional traits down your throat, as if you weren't already thoroughly aware of them
>>321535503
You probably already got spoiled of literally everything remotely good about the little story it has. Seriously. EVERYTHING. And execution isn't very good either.
Don't play this game for the story. Simply don't. You'll be mad, disappointed and, well, the game doesn't even want you to do that so expect the shittiest pacing ever if you do that.
I'm only chapter 9, so I don't know how the plot goes, but would a sequel even be possible? Unless they manage to somehow leave mira at the end, you've already explored/colonized/seen all of mira, that's the best part of the gameplay already recycled
Think we should eat the talking potato tonight?
>>321534204
So how many chapters are there? I feel like I'm at the end up but I'm only on chapter 12
>>321535987
Yes, its very possible, he said he wants space travel or something like that for the next game.
So how do I make a level 60 frame more worthwhile than the Ares? I haven't really been doing anything the last few days because I have no idea how to progress.
Then again if it involves too much asinine grinding I might as well just make an entire Ares party.
>>321536045
There are 12
>>321535987
A sequel would definitely be possible. You will walk away from the last chapter with more questions than you started. Unfortunately, Takahashi's comments in a TIME interview seem to lean toward the notion that he doesn't want to do a sequel. They're pretty vague though, so who knows.
Basically, just play for the exploration and don't pay much attention to the story. You'll be less disappointed that way
>>321535176
(You)
>>321534305
what, is this your 1st Sawano?
>>321536045
12 is the last chapter.
>>321536109
Top tier super weapons and the right set of augs.
It's grindier than just getting four 90s
what does it means when the game says triggering a melee combo or a range combo?
>>321536117
>>321536157
>>321536209
Ah alrighty thanks!
>>321535507
>Everqueen inside the orb
What?
>>321536220
Having more than 1 Ares90 does nothing.
>>321536269
It means read the manual.
>>321536316
Say that to my team of decepticons
>>321534403
will never top this however.

>>321534343
I wish there was more Lewd Elma
>>321536269
Use an art tied to the weapon you want to start a combo with (purple is fine as long as its tied to that weapon) and then within a few seconds of finishing that art, use the art that has extra effects from a combo.
For example, if you have an orange art that says "extra damage in melee combos" use an art for your melee weapon and then use the orange "combo" art.
>>321536441
I disagree, Uncontrollable is the better song.
>>321536441
I agree, but it just would not fit at all. There's nothing worth comparing between the two, outside of the combat
>>321536529
The retarded lyrics make it worse
>>321536526
ohhh thanks
>>321536441
to be fair, you will know our name only stands out so much because the regular battle theme is absolute trash
>>321535987
Mira Probably use sme underground ancient alien tech, thats cause the weird shit happening on mira.
>>321535771
It's a natural bump in quality above normal missions.
Basic missions: Who cares about context. Just accept every quest on the board and do some things.
Normal (npc) missions: Have some dialogue boxes. Your quality will strongly vary.
Affinity missions: Now you have voice acting and some better moments with side characters.
Story (chapter) missions: You might actually get a cutscene that isn't canned animations. And a boss.I beat chapter 7 yesterday. Does the story do ANYTHING with the lifehold unit at the northern beach of Primordia? I can't believe they would find the second one in Oblivia first.
>>321536610
I like them
Lin would be my favorite character if she shut up about cooking Tatsu.

>>321534735
Presumably she has to be close to her Mim to transfer.
>>321536269
Basically use that art within a few seconds of activating either a melee or ranged art depending on whether it is a melee combo or ranged combo.
You know you have done it right when the damage bubble is spiky.

Nagis affinity mission in the barracks
>>321536701
that is never stated anywhere in the game.
>>321536814
Because the story is incomplete.
>>321536731
Agreed. Criminally low amount of Elma Xeno lewd.
Drawfags too busy drawing Samus for the billionth time.

>>321534343
>implying I'd use a condom with Elma
>>321536648
I'd like the affinity quests alot more if the party members interacted with someone besides the mute MC. For anyone who isn't Elma or Lin, they rarely interact with anyone besides the MC in affinity missions, not even the other party members. This just comes off as really awkward, since the character is basically having a conversation with themselves. You can't really show off a character's personality or wit when they have no one to bounce off of
>>321536924
>elma
please faggot murderess is the one build for sex
>>321536929
That thing is the actual Yggralith? I thought they didn't look alike at all.

>>321535771
>Each character in this game is one dimensional and has one single defining trait
Nonsense. Take Lin for example.
Lin is a mechanic, chef, and suffers from poor self confidence. Shes young, but around Elma, tries to acts mature, although with time she's become a bit more relaxes and carefree. She rarely lets herself be kid, but its evident in her second heart to heart she just wants to relax from time to time. She feels compelled to help NLA and humanity's cause in any way possible due to her parents death and the knowledge they gave her. She acknowledges that she needs a lot of work to stand up to the expectations expected of her, and often spends far too much time working because she doesnt want to let anyone down. She learned to cook from her mother, and finds it a calming activity, and one that again helps out the people around her. She chooses to use a shield in battle not because she's afraid, but because she's willing to do anything to protect her unit. She knows that she was given a spot in Elmas team because Elma seen something in her and shes not wanting to let her down.
No character has a single defining trait.
>>321536929
How do you even get in there?
>>321537250
>>321537113
go farm. if you skell. farm some humanoids that are about 10 lvl above you.

>>321536441
Thats not even the best battle theme in the game.
I dont get the hype from XBCs soundtrack. I really don't.
u faggots play as elma alien form or default mim elma?
>>321537047
Its A yggralith, just like telthia plume and telethia are 2 different monsters. Pharsis one shot my ares 90 with some gravity attack and i havent tried again..
I really like the skell on ganglion skell combat theme. That shit gets me going even with the shit lyrics.
>>321536814
...and? If it were possible she would have done it. Use your deductive skills
>>321537417

also there is some materials you have to fetch for him after that
go plant proves ...except on hte 2 prone bases that are lvl 55
>>321537113
that guy fucked me up too. Maybe I was too low level? (33 to 34). But holy shit I would always get that last dude to the final phase with like 1/8th health and he gets more powered up or something and wipes my ass. It was extra infuriating because I could never keep all 4 members alive for it cause the fight was so damn long.

Alien because the alien outfit gave me a very quick boner when I first saw it. I know she looks good in bunny outfits, but I already have other characters that look good in it.
Alien elma is the only one that can sport the alien costume correctly
>>321537417
theres some mission that is a requirement for an afinity mission where apparently you need 40% oblivia to even see it. Bitch I'm only missing 2 or 3 data probes (one of which requires lvl5 mechanical which I dont know how to get) and I'm only 34%. How the hell do I get 40%

the main problem with Xenoblade's soundtrack is quite honestly Yoko Shimomura who really put out a really basic version of her work except for the main theme, and the battle theme for 60% of the game is pretty boring.

Lao or Gwin they're both mandatory for some quests so you should level them up a bit now to avoid having to grind later on.
>>321538129
Maybe. Shimonura isnt my cup of tea at the best of times (pianos and overusing strings - the composer) but I think I could have gotten behind the soundtrack if it were all by her. It just feels very disconnected from the game at times, but when it does click it clicks well, particularly in a few of the field musics. I pretty much hated every battle theme though. The soundtrack paints this picture of fantasy and then throws metal at you in the battle themes.

The only thing those missions do is take the single trait the characters have and shove it down your throat repeatedly
>Boze hates xenos across three quests
>Alexa loves Skells across three quests
Such deep characterization
>>321538602
None of the above. The characters are genuinely flat as fuck. Theres about 3 characters in the game who get meaningful character development.
I recently obtained the final party member in Xenoblade 1. Roughly how much longer should the game take me and is it worth grinding up their passive abilities?
Just got the game. Picked Curators because I heard it's easy to level at first. I was told that Prospectors is the best choice later when I have a Skell. Not sure what class to start toward though. Which one's really fun? Or which is best to begin with? Just the top path like the game recommends?
I found a nice grinding spot for level 45-60 if you guys want it.
At the top of the waterfall at the north of Noctilum there's 3 lvl 60 crocodiles that go dow really easy yet give 800 exp each, and are right next to a fast travel poi tt for easy grinding. You really only need 2 high level characters (above 50) to take them down so your other characters get the exp as well.
Is everyone a fan fiction writer on this planet?
>>321534204
I wonder what Lin masturbates to
>>321538806
>None of the above. The characters are genuinely flat as fuck. Theres about 3 characters in the game who get meaningful character development.
Then you're ignoring a lot of the development offered to you. Blaming the game for your piss poor comprehension is your fault.
>>321538859
In that exact place you can go to the giant flower and kill the lvl 90 tyrant + the couple dozen lvl 60 critters with a single superweapon blast.

See? Just because you can green text one defining character trait for each character doesn't mean they don't have others you retard.
I cannot believe people are genuinely thinking the affinity quests are good

No, the game is shitty at character development. The developers even said the story is rushed. The characters are cliche as fuck.

You're choosing one their traits and claiming its their only trait. Play the game or stop shitposting.

I don't even like lord of the rings, nor have I seen any of the movies. Not sure what you're trying to prove there
>>321539169
Why don't you explain what other traits they have since these characters are apparently so robust
>>321539137
>No, the game is shitty at character development.
We've already established that this is a "you" problem.
>The developers even said the story is rushed.
Really? Source.
>The characters are cliche as fuck.
Every character in every game is cliche as fuck when you greentext them like a little faggot.
Reminder that the world doesn't loop around, so if they ever make a sequeltakahashi plsthey can easily add more continets around what we know.

I hope they make a sequel but I won't get my hopes up, especially after that interview. He said X was more of an experiment anyways.
>>321539448
It's not even that bad, considering the game tells you on the gamepad where theyusuallyare.
Fast travel inside NLA barely takes any time.
>>321539407
the upwards barrier makes sense, the looping around the world barrier not so much.
According to Prof B it's not only Mira that's this fucked up, it's their entire universe that's weird as fuck.
>>321539460
I don't know if you're exaggerating those characters are not, but I gave a pretty fair assessment of XCX's cliche anime characters in my post.

Wow, it's almost if the Samaarian's were Hom Hom's that finally invented space travel or something
>>321539775
Do you even look at your map? Every little orange square is a fast travel point. Not only probe sections
>>321538806
I literally did Boze's second affinity quest this morning and I know you're full of shit.

Look, I get it, different strokes for different folks, but to say someone like Frye or Murderess is just a one-trick pony while "ROCK CAN'T FIGHT HE'S A PACIFIST AH ROCK JUST TUMBLED OUT OF HIS HAMMOCK I <3 ROCK" is better is just flat-out shit taste.

How do I click them? WTF
>>321539962

>>321534204
Yeah... goddess of the uncanny valley. What a mess
>>321539383
Really? I played endlessly for 2 weeks but this passed week I've just slowed down.
Once you've got a good set of skills/arts/augments all the battles just become you staring at the cooldowns and triggering the same combos while listening to Wir fliegen.
I've done most of the interesting missions, the remaining ones are always easy and just more fast travelling.
The grind for endgame items is just so tedious and repetitive. Constant fast travelling and looking for monsters and teleporting back to skells to get monsters to respawn for more grinding.
I'll still 100% it but probably over the next few months rather than days.
>>321539775
>>321539962
nigger
on the gamepad on the map, the exagons with a little orange mark is where you can fast travel
>>321539628
>I gave a pretty fair assessment of XCX's cliche anime characters in my post.
The point was that you didn't. You pointed out one defining character trait for each character and then claimed that was all there was to the characters. My point was that you can do that with any character ever and it doesn't make you right.
>>321539712
>The open world and custom protagonist was the experiment part.
When the hell does he say that?
>>321540071

that being said, still better to walk in the city. so you can listen to people talk and unlock shit

>Once you've got a good set of skills/arts/augments all the battles just become you staring at the cooldowns and triggering the same combos while listening to Wir fliegen.
Did you use a guide for this?
I'm having trouble believing people learn how to exploit overdrive by themselves.
>>321539905
I honestly have no idea, I'm pretty casual
>>321539962
Just click the screen dude.
>>321540235
Yeah I read Iwata asks. He never says that those parts specifically were experiments he just talks about the game in general.
>>321540241
>people use some other people guides
>People exploid the game
>people complain they feel unaccomplished in the game
retards everywhere
>>321540241
Of course they're using guides. Its literally the first result when you google for "overdrive build xenoblade x". A fucking video talkinh through everything.
>>321540241
>I'm having trouble believing people learn how to exploit overdrive by themselves.
WRPGs usually don't involve thinking for yourself nowadays. Even the Final Fantasy games have started to go that route.
>>321535537

They actually removed it during localization
Fuck you NoA.

May as well go right to Sniper/Javelin just to knock the whole center class out.
Anyone know where to find the second quest here?
It's the only normal mission I've got left in the game.

>720p

>constant pop in
>low texture quality
>manages to still be the most beautiful game ever made
Just made it to the blue grass and waterfalls in Noctilum, almost brought a tear to my eye
>>321540241
No, I experimented. I've unlocked all the classes and just looked at the best combos before spending my BP to max the arts out (all my arts are at L3 is minimum.
Ended up with Crit/TP-focus. So just infinitely overdrive and use high-crit high-potential arts for massive damage.
The game is all about experimentation so I suggest you only use a guide when you're seriously stuck at something.
>>321540412
Nope. The game pretty much tells you to maintain your overdrive when it's first introduced. You can see how much it benefits you just from the multipliers and the fact that the music barely gets a chance to play with a short overdrive. So it's normal for anyone actually paying attention to the game to go into the arts and figure out how to achieve that.
People in this thread that don't know how to even fast travel are the types that need a guide to hand-hold them for every simple step.
>all these people thinking there will be a sequel even after Takahashi said he really doesn't want to do one
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Ask me how I know you babies never played a Xeno game before XCX
>>321540519
Gimmie some specific examples, cause I remember getting pretty goddamned religious with the Noah's Ark comment and all the sidequests that were going on in-game.
>>321540704
Forgot the image, nice.
I want the bunny suits. Do people run telethia plume as a party or do you gotta do that yourself. Or whats the best way to farm up the mats
>>321535302
funny cause that isn't that shows name.
>>321539706
I doubt that, but I could see the whole planet being some kind of super alien computer that's basically just an advanced lifehold so like an artificial afterlife basically.
The original Xenoblade was all about there being no need for god so I can see them doing something like that.
>>321540306
Might be the Gamespot articles then. Even then, it's not rocket science to read all the interviews then deduce that the experiments were:
>Making a game in high definition
>Making a large open world game for the first time.
>Rewriting the game to accommodate online play and a custom protagonist.
These are the only things that are new with X and these are also the things Takahashi has repeatedly talked about being new to Mono Soft.
The Iwata Asks even has them mentioning how Takahashi's initial script could be published as a novel because of how much there is to it.

>>321541013
how do you never get tired of posting the same shit in every thread?
>>321541152
That name change wasn't censoring and it also wasn't religious imagery. They changed all the division names to names that actually make sense to their objective
>>321541212
Do your squad tasks.
After clearing a subtask, squad missions appear in the barracks.
Those give even moer tickets.
>>321541013
Doesn't he say that all the time?
He wants to do a lot of shit but it never fully happens because of time/budget constraints. Just look at X. I'm pretty sure he had to cut the story.
They won't have the time to build universe for another game. If they do try to do that again, they're beyond retarded and I won't be supporting yet another "THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLANET" ending.
>>321541261
What? I'm just having a conversation with someone
>>321541152
Literally it and even then Testament had nothing to do with what the Division actually does.

>>321541350
I'M AT CHAPTER 11AND HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT A NEMESIS IS
I'm playing xenoblade on gamecube for first time.
the sidequests are lame and there are so many. I'm 16 hours in and in colony 6 mines with fucktons of sidequests done. but even if you grind if you're too overleveled you don't get exp.
story doesn't seem THAT amazing. the combat feels like ff12 which is fine. the menus are lame and crafting is awful.
with that said...the landscapes and music are truly awesome. but besides this I'm not quite sure if this game is living up to all the hype I've heard.
anyhow I'm thinking of dropping it. or at least make it to some snow area that people saw looks cool. when does the story pick up?
>>321541416
>98%
how many hours
>>321541673
If you still haven't finished the game, don't bother with lewd outfits.
As for nemesis, they are world events that you access in the barracks under Squad Missions. They are bosses with millions of HP bars that you see how many you can deplete in a limited amount of time. When you finish, you get shit you can sell for tickets (you get like 1.5k each run), and at the end of the event (it says in the mission), you get spoils that, in the case of telethia, is like 98 Telethia Stem Cells

>>321542218
You're still getting it wrong, holy shit.
>>321541013
>hints that he wants to move away from Mira and the Ganglion and all that.
It doesnt hint at that at all, goddamn.
Monolith would have to be literally retarded for their next game to not be a XCX sequel. There is too much world building to just abandon it. Not to mention that fucking post credits scene
If you're doing a positional attack, for instance backstab, and you start the attack facing their back but then the enemy starts to turn in the middle of your art animation does it still count? I really hate positionals in this game because AI can't hold aggro for shit and it just constantly bounces around.
>>321542009
The guide says it's a normal mission called Hair Apparent. Given by someone named Nio. The guide is pretty vague about where to start the missions but the first few objectives are at the caravan at Cleansing Springs during the day so I would start there.
>>321541702
>xenoblade
>GameCube
wut
>>321542749
I think there will be, I think Takahashi is just telling people to not expect ATB/MMO like combat again. Which I kinda figured since he was talking about space traveling in another interview and took some of the criticism the game got to heart and would think differently when it came to design.
>want to be Shield Trooper because I want to be the tank
>Lin a shield trooper
>is required for nearly all quests
fucking why
>>321542009
I know that one.
In that area there should be a stray Potamus roaming around.
Kill it and you'll get a Sapphire ring.
Then go to the Sylvalum caravan and you'll be able to start a mission.
>>321542159
you don't want to see them, it's just duplicated and boosted storage probes and extract probes everywhere else, you dont realy need money in late game. i'm siting at 40 000 000 right now and got no use for it.
>>321542840
It still counts. The Hundred Shells art is proof of this. The moment you use the art is what matters, not the animation.
NOW YOU REMEMBER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQnY7L8ucCk
Just got my skell.
>tfw its not even that strong
I hope the sequel focuses on a different ship that left earth and instead of crashing, you go through space on the ark looking for planets that could be inhabitable and getting into various shenanigans along the way, and maybe fighting the race that was fighting the Ganglion on earth and trying to contact the humans on mira.
>>321542980
why would you do this to yourself? the AI cant dps worth shit.
>>321543157
Well yeah the level 20 free one is garbage.
>>321543145
Ma nigga.
I've been listening to this song every day I drive into work for the last week.I'LL KILL YOU
>>321543157
The level 20 one is ass. You'll start doing real damage once you get a level 30 and you can give the level 20 one to an underleveled party member.
>>321538347
The music isnt bad, just give it some time. It took me some time to get used to Black Tar and now i enjoy it more then i thought i would.
There are some other good songs to like Uncontrollable and Dont worry but i can say that the non vocal ones are really good.

Too bad that song played in so many cutscenes, got old quick.
Are Skells and your damage separate from eachother?
Because I 'm a mostly ranged fighter but want to use Amdusias.
I have a feeling the ability to run in the game was added after the engine was implemented in to the WiiU architecture.
If you jog a lot of the pop in is non existent, but when you run its everywhere
>>321538391
yea that was bullshit
>>321538391
Are you sure that wasn't the improved version?

>>321543401
Yes and no. Skells have their own damage and stat values but they're still affected by your level. So you'll still have accuracy penalties against higher level things.
>>321543565
Pretty damn sure
>>321543595
Anything with Spats
>>321543435
if you run you are traversing the map faster so the game obviously has to try harder to keep up with you.

>>321534403
The part where the woman starts singing solo at the end always comes at the perfect timing to me, where the fight is reaching its end and you really start to feel like you've got it in the bag.
Listening to the song alone is fine, but listening to it while fighting a tyrant is fucking hype.

Oh Boy! Anouther mining probe!
>>321544295
I would assume lots of attack range/attack boost augments, Level 60, and a powerful long range art like Shrapnel.
>>321543595
Her lewdest censored outfit in my opinion would have to be this.
>>321535472
They just made it not see through but it's still skin tight and shows off her ass.
Makes no sense why they changed the bunny costume to a fucking clown suit when they could have just given her dark stockings that covered the entire leg instead of the fishnets and it wouldn't have been any more lewd then that armor.
That's my biggest problem with the censorship is that some of it is lazy as fuck. I would have rather them not do it at all but since they did I would have preferred them to not be lazy as fuck about it and make it actually look good.
>>321539443
Gwin shits out damage. Pretty ridiculous. Him and Nagi together + a support is great.

This is what happens when the modellers have to follow the whims of a bunch of suits and localizers.
It's not like Mono Soft gets more money for making completely new and elaborate western versions of the armor so I can't blame them for just trying to get it done.
It's the same thing with the changed camera angles in Street Fighter V. It's lazy as hell because all they did was fuck up the camera angles they used to showcase the animations instead of making new animations that still look good but show less ass.

Use beam resistant armor and gravity weapons.
>>321542980
for fun i had 4 shield troopers. have a cpu and yourself be the trash talker/decoy round user to split tanking. if anything gets toppled it's dead
>>321545293
Melancholia is one of those songs you'll completely overlook while playing the game.
It's basically the only actually 'good' rap in the game (I love Black Tar but it's basically a meme song).
I can't find the suppposed nopon caravan in noctilum

>>321546437
Inside Whale's Nostril cavern
>>321546159
Get some resist topple or topple decoy/barrier augments and try to stay behind her.
>>321546159
Rexoskell is IMO the hardest enemy in the game that isn't one of the 4 end game super tyrants.
Get beam resistance. I'd say at least 60+. If you've done side quests you'll have gotten equipment called 'scouters' that also give +30% electric resistance. Give this to as many teammates as you can. Electricity resistance is necessary.
She has two major attacks that will fucking murder you in seconds.
1. Her electric tentacle swipe attack. If you have any spare 'resist topple' augments, put them on yourself.
2. Her rare attack where she launches invisible mini drones that shoot laser beams at you. You will mostly not even notice this attack is happening aside from a strange "PTHP" sound that starts spamming. These drones will FUCKING MURDER YOU IN SECONDS if you don't have substantial beam resist.
Me, personally, I went Mastermind class and just outlasted her with Irina's AOE heal. One of the worst things she does to you is put a "Extend ARTS Cooldown" debuff on you, so I used repair on myself to purge the debuff every time it came up.
The last 20% she goes berserk and gets 100% evasion. You have to outlast that aura and her insane damage output. Good luck.
>>321546409

>>321546876
You don't, outside of Salvage Tickets from the division spoils.You shouldn't need any of it though since it's a piss easy QTE to save your Skell.
>>321546876
You don't. Salvage ticket or buy a new skell. Git gud at those soul challenges when you explode
>>321546814
I like it.
>>321546876
You don't. Once it's gone it's gone and you have to pay to salvage each time it's destroyed.
>>321538138
?
The game is fucking easy. And grindy. It's just a single player MMO. And the music is awful more often than it's good.
How are you people so obsessed with this throwaway game?
>>321546975
I NEED MORE INSURANCE
I've upgraded to a level 50 skell and gave my old one to elma but I have to pay a ludicrous fee whenever she fucks it up, which is all the time
>>321547237
I thought NPCs always got perfect with that soul challenge
>>321547237
NPCs always get a Perfect when they get theirs destroyed.
You don't need to worry about them.
>>321547237
When insurance gets to 0, just sell the skell. Give it to your team mates when it's at 1 insurance. They'll never waste it
>>321541349
It sort of does. Since a testament is basically a written will. So it fits Reclaimers who are retrieving humanity's last words. Even then it has zero religious conflation if you understand English
>Kristy mentioned that the first BLADE that discover a new territory or area have the privilege to name it
>mfw realizing those unexplored territories are named by the MC

Doesn't matter when there isn't any insurance on the doll.
>>321546975
>Get Perfect on a Soul Challenge
>Still use up insurance
Fuck this game
>>321547141
Of course its easy if you grind. Actually you dont need to grind before the post game. Do you even play the game or did you grind your entire life to beat the game. Just fuck off.
>>321547321
>>321547341
Then why is my skell sitting in the garage with a hefty on it after elma got it destroyed? You have no idea what you're talking about, they only get a free pass when you have at least 1 insurance left
>>321547141
WiiU doesn't get too many games. The owners end up getting obsessed with mediocre games that would be completely ignored in other platforms.
>>321547141
>stop liking what I don't like! REEEEEEE!
>>321547237
>I NEED MORE INSURANCE
Too bad. You can't get more. Strip everything off the old one and then sell it and buy a replacement.
>>321547321
>>321547341
They do get perfects every time but if the skell has no insurance left it doesn't matter if you get perfect or not you still need to pay to have it salvaged.
>>321547427
>tfw May doesn't become a party member
I was really hoping she would offer to team up with you once you finished her little quest chain.

You can tell from her samefag face that she is a NPC.
>>321547448
ALL THE PEOPLE CRY IN VAIN
Keep running out of fuel god damn it Ive taken to starting fights in skell BTFO of all their appendages then jumping out and finishing the rest of the fight on foot.This is actually quicker than doing the whole fight in the skell wtf
>>321547531
What the fuck do you mean "it's easy if you grind"
Grinding is the whole point of this mess. Everything is just a sequence of "go get me this" fetch questing. Dialog is awful. The system is bland.
The combat has unavoidable damage. If you didn't grind to get your next tier of gear you're basically SOL because there's no kiting to avoid melee, or sprinting away from projectiles. Everything is a homing missile that ignores terrain collision, so you can't run out of LOS of a dangerous attack to avoid damage. It's a purely numbers-based combat system with no depth behind it other than a fucking QUICK TIME EVENT. YES, A QUICK TIME EVENT. THE SAME SHIT YOU HAVE ALL SHIT TALKED NEARLY EVERY RELEASED GAME FOR IN THE PAST 5 YEARS.
Like really you fucking weeaboo losers? This is the kind of shit you get excited for? All it takes is some pidgeon-toed 13 year old slut with a perpetual smile on her face talk about her melodramatic issues over a J-Pop soundtrack to get you amped?

One of the best things Xenoblade did was levels scaling with other party members to reduce grind and the right combination of characters would get you through bosses better rather than focusing on a a certain few.
Not played Xenoblade X but you seem like an obvious troll retard.
>>321548071
When you finish a fight and open up all the rewards go to the bottom of the menu you can offer 1 loot per fight as a treasure deal you get 100 blade points but lose the loot obviously, I think if your playing online co-op one of your partners can take the item.

>>321548042
Bro i just started grinding like yesterday after beating the game. Do you even play JRPG at all?
You dont need to grind if you know what you do which aperently you dont, i leveled up naturally while doing some quest along the way and also some affinity missions. I didnt do every single quest i see as they dont give almost no exp and literally no class points.
Play the game again from the begining, if your oppinion doesnt change then this game isnt for you. You literally forced yourself to play a game that you knew it wouldnt be your liking so that you can complain /v/ that you cant play the game properly. You are retarded.
>>321548825
Nope
>>321548825
Why would you not play it when it's easy to emulate?
Even then you miss out on a lot of the game by not seeing the character interactions out in the world.

That's different
WoW raids are multiplayer experiences where everyone needs to be good and do things right
XBCX is a singleplayer game with AI party members that you cannot rely on for a complex boss fight such as a raid.
XBCX is an RPG first and foremost, you focus mainly on debuffs and buffs and shit. It's like the real time version of a turn-based rpg
>>321549137

>>321548965

You severely overestimate my computer literate skills. I managed to get my wii homebrewed, but I tried and failed for months to get anything other than pre n64 emulators working
>>321549137
>positional damage avoidance (avoid the fire, dodge meteors, etc)
Do you seriously consider "GET OUT OF THE FIRE!" a good, indepth, complex mechanic? In X, enemies will make fire rain and the only way to "avoid" it is by using the correct arts for that kind of attack. Defense, soul arts, augments, deflects, etc.
>Line of sight mechanics
This is never used in any raid in WoW ever. It's pretty much a glorified range system.
>Crowd Control
This is not a 10-25 played game. There's no need for such thing. "Attack this" and "Do what you want" is enough to engage multiple enemies.
>cooldown rotations to survive particularly dangerous attacks
AKA Press 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3, FOUR, 1,2,3,1,2,3.
>Auto attack until the you see a button turn a different color
That's literally the bare minimum. You wouldn't be able to solo shit that way.
Is there ever anything hidden behind a waterfall?
Can someone confirm or deny so I can stop checking?
>>321549651
there are 2 caves near a WF in primordia

Yes there is. I won't tell you where so you can have all the fun time exploring every waterfall.
>>321549651
Senirapa Water for a quest is hidden behind a waterfall in Primordia
>>321549651
If you want to explore without it being a chore. do chapter 6. then do the skell license quest
>>321549102
You seeing something wrong because thats is impossible, i always get perfect and dont use the insurance. Maybe you are seeing the wrong skell, they are not in order of party members but in order of purchase. Just an example that you are the first party member but you are using the the third skell you got. Your name apears beside the third skell. I dont know how many skells you have but double chekc it after doing a perfect on the soul challenge and when you go to the barracks. I may be wrong but do me a favor of doing that.
>>321549651
Plenty of caves and 1 unexplored area.

Are you forgetting that crucible thing? The single player boss battles in the major cities? Those were very well done once you got to higher difficulties, doable by any class with clever mechanic usage, and 100% solo.
>>321549521
I don't have 100 hours, but I'm just starting Chapter 7. I have my skell license (haven't done anything in the skell yet though). I just don't see how having damage modifiers on "attack from above" or "attack from the side" does anything except make a fight end sooner. And considering the limiting factor in success is how much you heal through damage with well-timed soul challenges and soul voices, it doesn't seem as important as it should be. Unless there's something about being elevated I don't understand.
>>321549575
Line of sight was used on quite a lot of bosses. You're talking out of your ass. And crowd control doesn't have to be limited to multiple enemies. They have an appendage system but do hardly anything with it. Being able to control/shut down an entire appendage would have opened up many opportunities for the gameplay. But instead it's just "bum rush the big cannon on their back" every time.
>>321550096
I said without being a chore. I personally only use skell to power lvl scrubs party members
>>321550134
>That shit usually doesn't appear when my skell gets destroyed
Appears every time. You aren't paying attention.
>It never appears when my party member's skells get destroyed.
They auto-perfect, and won't waste insurance as long as their mech has at least 1 of it.
Still on the fence about this game. What's the best and worst parts of it ? Critical opinion is remarkably mixed
>>321550134
It does always appear when your skell gets fucked up party members skells auto perfect eject and never use insurance.
>>321550134
It should appear FOR THEM when their skells die, and they're supposed to always get perfects.
Now I feel like there was one time where an attack was so strong, the B soul challenge didn't appear and my dead body just instantly fell to the ground, but it could have just been I was so engrossed i didn't notice it?
>>321550134
Yes. It appears right after your skell's health completely diminished and BEFORE your skell get destroyed animation.
If it it still doesn't appear then your game might be bugged.
>>321550134
>That shit usually doesn't appear when my skell gets destroyed.
Yes it does. Every time.
>It never appears when my party member's skells get destroyed.
It's not supposed to. They always get perfect ejects.

Second worst thing, the worst thing is non-required party members get no special lines whatsoever during missions, they just stand in the back and blend into the scenery.
Third worst thing is the lyrics to the regular and skell battle themes
>>321550185
you do know that using the Assemble command can lure large enemies to get stuck behind terrain, which for certain enemies completely disables them while you gun them down.
position advantages provide TP and defbuffs for DOT kills. which is one thing that's overlooked. unlike your mmo the player is given all the tools to do whatever the fuck they want, even if it's stupid, because it is a video game. pump everything into blaze with 2 tanks and watch stuff slowly burn to death.

I hope they ditch overdrive for the return of Chain Attacks in the next game just for how broken overdrive is.
>thanks to our advanced new alien technology we came up with this thing thats calculating short term enemy attack patterns
Could be a way to bring back the vision mechanic from the original without it being part of the main story.
Instead of constantly shitting out visions like in XC it could be a thing that has to be activated with TP, which than gives you the chance to counter an upcoming enemy attack.

I'll chime in here. I don't like anime and typically hate a lot about Japanese culture. This game is HUGELY Japanese. Aggravatingly so. So if you are like me, you might want to avoid.
Three main characters are as followed:
>skinny hero girl that's humble in a cliche "muh had to do what's right" way
>13 year old pidgeon-toed girl with big stupid anime eyes that makes the same tired food jokes over and over
>little rat bastard animal companion that's goofy and annoying with a horrible frasier-esque theme song every time he opens his mouth.
Characters: 2/10
Music? Hit or miss big time. The epic scores in the world are usually quite good, particularly in Noctilum (the Jungle theme zone) using reverberated high spectrum tribal-wind instruments and vocals. However, the music in the main city is droning and awful. 4/4 drums smashing over 30 second sound loop guitar solos ripped straight from some second-rate stock music website. And the same applies to the themes played over people as they talk.
Music: 5/10
cont..
>>321551840
As for gameplay I'm not going to include traversing the world. It's through and through just a single player MMO. Every quest will have some shoehorned reason why you have to collect nonsense in the world. Collecting things is very poor for gathering quests too. All items are little floating Sims polygon arrow things on the ground that are just random items that aren't even distinct to the area it's in. For instance, you'll swim in the middle of a lake and pick up a fucking Rock Armadillo from one of these random floating markers. Combat is okay, but nothing spectacular. It doesn't expand on much of anything, and many combat mechanics that make typical MMO combat like line of sight or avoiding ground-based damage is no there. All abilities will hit at all times and go through terrain. It's strictly numbers-based and not in any way reactionary.
Gameplay: 5/10
Exploration is where the game is worth a damn at all. The world is hugely imaginative and dreamlike, and the land is laid out in a way where you will need to find length detours to get up a waterfall, or through a rocky ravine. The draw distance is wonderful, and seeing monumental landscape off in the distance is greatly immersive.
Exploration/Design: 9/10
Overall? Not worth $60 in my opinion. It's a throwaway game, to be honest. Many problems people rag on much larger and more ambitious titles for is still here, and in general, worse. If you were on the fence to begin with, just hop off it and save your money until it's cheaper.
can we all agree that sylvalum is the most unique and creative environment ever put in a video game? it really feels like an alien world.
>>321551840
>Characters: 2/10
Nigga get the fuck out of this thread right now. Outside of food jokes Lin is fucking great, Tatsu is not the best though. Every other character in the game is top tier though, I never cared for other characters as much as these ones, I had to finish the affinity quests of every fucking body because of how likeable everybody is, it was a fucking pain in the ass but it was worth it.

If you dislike this shit then why did you even bother to buy the game in the first place?
It fucking boggles my mind when people who obviously don't like Anime and Japanese style games buy something that obviously has lots of Anime and Japanese influences and then are surprised when they didn't like the game.
Why didn't you do research on the game before you bought it?
>>321552221
You have a really lax definition of interesting.
Does anyone know if Target still stocks Xenoblade Chronicles X? I got a $40 Target Gift Card for Christmas. I wana get XCX but I can't find it on Target's website and the closest Target to me is about 35 minutes away so don't want to go for no reason. Plus can't call them because they are fucking incompetent. Anyways, has anyone gotten XCX from Target?
>>321550185
FF14 player here, which means I'm used to infinitely more complex raid bosses than in WoW
Xenoblade doesn't have even a tenth of the complexity in combat, but there are still bosses with challenging raid mechanics IF you're not overgeared since you can overgear everything very easily in this game.
The final boss sequence took me a good 5 hours to beat including a lot of learning mechanics, completely changing my build for each phase, actively directing my party members to keep them from getting killed, etc. But I know that it would have been faceroll if I had even a single level 50 Skell. So the depth is there, but since it's a single player game, the game doesn't care if you destroy all the depth and faceroll everything. You need to WANT the challenge.
Also, there's more depth and variety in the character customization than in almost every MMO out there.
>>321552169
yes, if they could have realized the design of the Sylvalum artwork it would have been the prettiest thing ever.
If the NX can fully realize the worlds Monolith comes up with without making any cuts for the sake of performance, than I will never stop playing their next game.
>>321552396
I did research it. Obviously it had some anime inspired designs, but I figured that wasn't a good indicator of the dialog or story behind the characters. I was flat out wrong, though. Everything is as cliche as you'd imagine.
And why did I buy it? Because there was nobody with a taste similar to mine playing it. And I have extra cash to spend. Now at least I'll have a frame of reference for anyone else like myself wondering if the game is worth picking up.
>>321552169
Sylvalum is my favorite continent and the music makes it better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFwBUS7aWfg
My ranking is as it follows
1. Sylvalum
2. Noctilum
3. Primordia
4. Oblivia
5. Cauldros
I havent explored much of cauldros but its reall cool too.

>Mfw at the last boss and Iget fucking destroyed by the chimera swarm, lose all my Skells. Then I think I'm fucked, but decide to keep going without a Skell. Get even more wrecked. So I decide to swap Arts and gear around and suddenly I fucking shitstomp the chimeras and the Lao fight with my supportive lower secondary cooldown healer build.Seriously though, that whole final chapter was intense as fuck, and probably the best boss fight of 2015 for me.
>>321553160

>>321551840
I don't mind anime shit at all, but I don't care about one single character in the entire game. Elma is okay I guess.
I haven't done a ton of affinity missions, but I doubt that will change my opinion too much
>>321553160
Not surprising since it's the same guy who did the music for KLK.
I gotta say, I fucking love the game but the Soundtrack is one of the worst I've ever heard. Why is there so much love for the OST? I love hearing music that is "out there", but this OST just doesn't cut it for me. Plus that New LA track is the worst.

Sylvalum is far the most imaginative area, but it's unfortunately brought down a lot by the actual level design being so boring. It's just a single flat desert surrounded by cliffs and three cylindrical peaks.
Visual design:
Sylvalum > Noctilum > Oblivia > Primordia > Cauldros
Exploration/fun factor:
Noctilum > Oblivia > Primordia > Sylvalum > Cauldros
Music:
Noctilum > Sylvalum > Cauldros > Primordia > Oblivia
Overall:
Noctilum > Sylvalum > Primordia > Oblivia > Cauldros
Biggest complaint about Cauldros is they failed to make it feel as hot and hellish as they obviously wanted it to. That muddy orange sky gradient that even shows through objects right in front of you really ruins it, and the lava looks pretty bad. Simply fixing the gradient and making it go from bright yellow through orange and red instead of just being a flat orange hue with an alpha gradient would go a long way to make it look good. Also, glowing cracks and vents in the ground, and bursting bubbles in the lava like in the lava-filled caves in other continents. I'm pretty sure Cauldros was rushed because of how uninspired it looks.
>>321552873
cauldros probably has the most variety in a single continent, it went from my least favorite to my second favorite once I explored it more

Opinion of someone who's only played XC and none of the previous Xeno titles so feel free to disregard:
I 100% Xenoblade and honestly had fun with the battle system, heart-to-heart, exploration, and every single quest (barring mutually exclusive ones). The story and characters in XCX lacks a lot of charm for me and it's made worse by the sloppy lazy localization. The world isn't as fun as XC since they feel large for the sake of being large without a lot of variety in each maps and you don't get as much comfy exploration moments that you did in XC because everything is out to kill you. I prefer XC's gameplay and battle system but that's subjective. I thought the game could make up lack of main plot with side quests since I loved getting to know the NPCs in XC but I can't really care for anyone in XCX and the quests feel even more collectathon. I think a big problem is that it introduces lands bigger than XC and more races/species but they're 1/5 as interesting so it ends up feeling bloated and shallow. There's some standout quests but it's because they rely on shock-value and they stand out more than they would due to the nonexistent plot. Even the lowest plot moments of XC felt more engaging than the high points of XCX.

Go to the Prone base in southern Sylvalum. Just grind the Puges and Pugiliths and you should get a Phoenix weapon which is a great AOE blaze attack.

What level are you, both story-wise, and actual level? What builds are you using, who are oyu controlling.
If you control Elma and make full use of her position attacks, and critical power, hundred shell then you can do enough damage to have two shield troopers to take the heat off you, on top of that Duelist seems to be a good class for procuring topples, check soul voices as well, so you can get additional topples in

BP is infinitely grindable in the postgame, so don't worry too much about it.
You can change after you reach level 10 in Drifter.
For classes, just do what you want. I went Full Metal Jaguar first time, and now I'm Duelist after being Galactic Knight. Try a lot and see what you like.

It's automatically mined every ~30 minutes by your probes. How much you get depends on how you set up your probes.

party>active members> put her on top of your list
>>321559018
you replace the basic probes with a mining probe. Then you just have to wait in game time for you to get them. It will add up automatically. You'll be limited to how much miranium you can hold until you start placing storage probes.
Just remember replacing probes costs credits so be aware of that.

It's probably best being in a class your character has a load of arts for, but if you get an ending class to level 10, you can equip their weapons in any other class. Also the character you're being doesn't need to equip the weapon, anybody in your active party will suffice, so give yourself the best weapons for re-gaining TP, or maximum damage, and give the weapon to the 4th party member who will likely be lagging behind you, Lin and Elma
Also go on active members and switch Elma and MC around so Elma is first on the list

Top tow worked well for me, as a good class to leave them to, shield trooper is probably a bit redundant given you have to use Lin a lot and you also get L and H.B. as shield troopers.
I'm doing Professor B's last mission
he has the green exclamation point on top of him but when i talk to him nothing happens, he just says what he would say when i hadn't completed the quest
i've tried talking to him at different times of day but still nothing

If it's the very end of the mission, you have to talk to Veven, not him.

There was already another XB thread up, idiot.
>>321559613
