Look through the weapons terminal for armor that looks identical to it. There's no unique character armor models besides some characters having unique color changes (like Irina's leg part)
Speaking of which, why did we go from head-shirt-gloves-pants-shoes to head-shirt-right arm-left arm-pants for armor slots? Arm parts always look bad when used without their main shirt and I'd rather have a single gloves slot and shoes then two arm slots and no shoes.

Any humanoid alien race should've been fair game for a party member. I get why making the Orphe or Zaruboggan would require too much new animations etc but a prone female, delfinian, Wrothian male etc aren't so different from the human skeleton that they couldn't work. And it just so happens that recurring quest NPCs include a prone female (Slovity), a Delfinian (Erio) and a Wrothian (Gi Zang) who end up being buddy-buddy with the player character.
Not like they'd be any more useful then the other party members but they'd be more interesting to look at.
>>136489734
it's likely a lot of those were cut due to the changes in story over time, like how the neilnall twins (who were qlurians) were probably a plot mission before being moved to time attack.
I've been gone from these threads for quite a while.

Would've loved a Wrothian party member. What a missed opportunity.
>>136494853
Only downside is they'd probably be a longsword user and its not like longswords need any more signature arts If they used a sniper rifle too though they could be forgiven
Superior banni.
>>136497924
The Wrothian party member would obviously be Photon Saber + Sniper because the game is "missing" a user for each of those weapon types.
Considering the quest progression, I could totally see us as suppose to get Gi Zang, but something happened in development to make them cut it.
Maybe instead of Overdrive each character originally had a Talent Art a la the first Xenoblade, with his being the clones he makes, but there was a problem with that system.
>>136485754
Jeez DF you're making my Xeno folder a lot lewder than it needs to be
>>136487259
>mfw
>>136500443Would Valvrave be improved if DF did lewds for it?
>>136499341
Considering how every character basically uses the same system (you can mechanically recreate every party member as an avatar because they just pool specific attributes to make a party member other then stuff like Nagi having 5 skill slots) I doubt there was anything as exciting as character-specific talent arts ever planned for the game. A shame, but that's the cost of focusing on gameplay and solid underlying mechanics to story and unique characters.
well uh
ggs morgangg I guess
best do something about them nets
>>136502625
In the sequel I'd prefer if they either made all characters mechanically equal and let us choose based on personality or gave everyone substantial combat roles and statistical advantages. The current system where some characters just have better art selection outright and not everyone has the same number of slots is arbitrary nonsense.

>>136503494
It works out for certain characters, like Yelv and Alexa have reasons for being superior pilots and the shieldbots are all viable, but a bunch are just kind of there. They also need to make it so the AI will properly position and sequence arts if they're going to build an entire game around situational effects.
>>136503559
Uhh, okay then? You alright, anon?
>>136503943
Considering how each character has limited abilities you'd think that make it easier to optimize their AI.
>Elma: lots of positional abilities, AI should focus on positioning and be mindful of location when attacking (ie not using Sliding Slinger if an edge is within x units of the direction being faced)

>>136505237
Ohhh, okay. So is Pokken worth picking up?
>>136505536
I like it, since it's the first time I've been able to play a "traditional" fighter since the controls are simplified to just four cardinal directions+an attack button, but most of the other mechanics are still there (Dragon kick? Quarter turn? Yeah, after practicing inputs for an hour and I can only get the move out 20% of the time I gave up on those games.) It seems to deviate from the formula in ways that make it interesting to traditional fighting game veterans too.
You'll want a good internet connection or real-life friends since online / LAN matches are 100% of the fun, single player is ass.
>>136505163
I'm pretty sure every character has the same basic AI, which is probably an offshoot of having to account for ALL the combinations that can come from scouting other people's player characters.
It's not like their team is particularly good at coding character AI anyway, remember letting the AI control Melia in the first Blade?
>>136507303
>best party members are Seven, Shulk and Melia

>>136507548

Nigga, you high.
Her equipment design is that of a jack of all trades character, she has agi gear, strength gear, defense gear, even ether gear, but she isn't the best at any of those roles.
She's a worse agi character than Dunban, a worse physical glass cannon than Shulk, worse survivability than Ryen, Dunban and Riki, and worse at Ether than Melia, Riki, orSharla
She isn't even the best hybrid character because Riki exists
>>136508297
I'd trade a bit of Agi for Final Cross + Cross Impact any day. Especially when crits on double attack/heal on crits make getting tension easy and chain attacks allow for topple abuse.
>>136508297
>those videos were people just faceroll bosses with shulk, seven and dunban in single chain attacks
>never managed any of that so just ended up fighting each superboss for about 10-20 minutes at a time, only using night vision and boss-specific debuff gems
i never understood the hype with abaasy, he was a cakewalk. sure i took ages to beat him with dunban, riki and sharla but it worked very well. easy to survive with that setup while still being able to 4x chain blossom dance somewhat reliably thanks to skill links

That's thinking logically.
Not even a different land we're stuck on a while different planet
>>136514758
Anyone knows the source? For shits and giggles mostly, bdsm isn't my thing but.
so all the rich powerful people that lao hated for abusing their power to put themselves on the white whale wouldn't have been in mims during flight/the crash because they weren't needed for it to actually travel right? (they mention only necessary personnel were kept 'out of stasis', meaning military personnel and engineers etc)
the lifehold's storage being totally trashed basically means nothing of value was lost right
>>136522776
Precisely.
Now, was he aware and just played along or was he as oblivious as the rest?
>>136522776
Didn't Elma say there were something like 20 million people's information in the Lifehold storage? That's far more than the tens of thousands of bodies that the people in NLA were led to believe. So technically they attempted to save far more people than Lao believed. Who knows, maybe his family's data was on there and they just didn't tell him in order to keep the whole "we're not really taking your bodies with us" thing under wraps. Either way, there were far more people on board than just the rich and powerful.Also Lao a shit.
Did anybody else here play Soma? I wonder if the mims are just duplicates of the original's consciousness, and the "real" Cross, Lin, Lao, and everyone else were still conscious in their bodies when the earth was destroyed. It would make for an interesting twist for a future game, at least. Especially since Elma was the only one to keep her real body. They could use that theoretical plot point as a way to turn the characters against her if they wanted to go that route.
>>136523224
Oblivious imo. He's aware of how people in the lifehold storage who die can be brought back; "Not allowed to die... Of course. Even if I killed myself I'd just wake up in a new mim anyways" and "But us? We can be reborn. We get as many damn chances as we want." Nothing suggests he knows anymore about the lifehold then the other 6~ party members do at the end of the game.
>>136523801
I didn't understand how the white whale passenger thing worked. I eventually came to the assumption that 'passenger' = 'brain scanned' but I don't know if that's true. It isn't made explicit, which has caused a shitton of confusion.
>I wonder if the mims are just duplicates- ,and the "real" Cross, Lin, Lao, and everyone else were still conscious in their bodies when the earth was destroyed
Like one of those "kills you and makes a copy on the other end" teleporters? I'd say so. Lao makes a big deal out of "our flesh and blood burnt up with the earth". It'd be impractical to copy millions of brains and have each brain not exist on earth in some way. Maybe the White Whale crew were in stasis when brainscanned and during earth's destruction (as 'preparation for boarding') so they wouldn't know but that's not practical for the regular people getting scanned.
As for Elma keeping her body while no-one else did, she's already shown that she doesn't understand people on a fundamental level ("why do you care about different religions/cultures so much" is "why the rush tatsu no understand" levels of dumb). You wouldn't need a whole lot more for people to turn on her. The fallout from when NLA finds out how the Lifehold actually worked, and then that it's broken would be enough. "You kept your body" would just be extra.
Anybody know what Golden Armor (Vita drops them) are used for?

Are there any new meme builds or people still running around with katanas and dual guns?
>>136527965
The usual reflect and gatling gun builds. There might be some individual gimmick builds as well.
>>136527965
Longsword + Dual Guns is still The One afaik but there's some other fairly popular builds. Knife + Sniper Rifle for insane damage Afterburner, Assault Rifle + Photon Saber reflect all + topplelock, etc.
At least the skell meme weapons have changed. I remember meem missiles and diskbombs not always being known as The Thing To Do.
Quick! You're Takahashi; what's your twist for Xenoblade X2: There's Something More To This Planet: The Search For The Resolved Plot Threads? Remember, it has to be really dumb. Bonus points; it annoys people. Super bonus points: religious imagery
>Cross has amnesia because [they're not a person but all of the personalities from the lifecore being stored in one mim. Mira moved the consciousnesses to a spare mim out of kindness. As a result, Cross essentially has to die for anyone to be able to bring back the personalities stored in them; they're Space Jesus to Elma's expy Kosmos' Mary Magdalene.
>>136529194
After using most of these builds as well as several others, I still find Longsword + Dual Guns to be the most enjoyable.
Shield + Dual Guns is fucking broken.
>>136530870
>Shield + Dual Guns is fucking broken
How so?
>>136531532
I'm guessing Reflect All + Ghost Walker + Topple shenanigans?
>>136531532
>>136531648
Sounds more like heavy support with Mindstorm, Ghost Factory, Shield Wall, and topple-locking. Sounds pretty average offensively, but I'm comparing Drum Roll to Afterburner, so that's not even fair.

Alright guys, Xenoblade Y spoilers all up ins.
The next game is set 5 years after the firstTeam Elma is still in their mims despite the fact that the part of the Lifehold Core that does the transfers was repaired.
By Elma's urging, it's better for them to stay in their mims until the various threats to their livelihood, like indigen and evil galactic empires, have subsided.
She simply refuses to take anyone along on missions that didn't remain in a mim.
As is par for the course though, she isn't telling you the whole story. There's another reason why she doesn't want you having Lifehold made bodies. More on that later.
Since it's 5 years later, during the game Lin gets a new adult mim on her 18th birthday.
She didn't get incremental new ones over time because that's cost prohibative.
The scene is reminiscent of when Emeralda "grows up" in Gears. Not story important though, just a throwback.
There are new humans all over that got made with the Lifehold, and I don't mean a bunch of 5 year olds. I mean it spit them out as fully grown adults.
Part of the J-body project was to see if you could get a functioning adult by starting a human at that point of their development. It was successful.
Interesting thing about the humans made with the Lifehold Core is that they can use Ether.
At first this is hand waved as another example of "Miran magic" like how the Orphean inexplicably got females.
The truth is:They can use Ether because Luxaar got dissolved in the vat of protoplasm.
His DNA being mixed in there is IMPORTANT later
Lao is STILL missing but he gets spotted on a Frontier Nav camera leaving the continents that X takes place on by boat and heading to a new location.
Doug, in a fit of immense homolust, goes AWOL and tries to track down Lao
Team Elma is requested by Chausson to both reel in Doug, and figure out how the hell Lao is alive.
cont next post
>>136529930
Mirais the planet that Alvis's space station was orbiting, not Earth.
>>136534432
This is where things get really interestingMiran magic is because the Zohar is on Mira.
If you noticed that the Lifehold Core is basically the Kadomony from Gears under a different name, you probably saw this coming.
Lao is alive because he's a contact. Note: Not "The Contact", that's later Fei. Lao is kind of a prototype of that.
The Zohar, or rather the entity within, wants to move on from it's current existence. It's old as the universe and ready for a change.
The mysterious figure on the beach that finds Lao at the end of X was a kind of avatar for the Zohar.
It picks Lao because it senses his strong desire to die and feels that makes them kindred spirits.
A problem arises stemming from the fact that the Zohar brings back Lao each time with all his memories, and I do mean each time.
Lao is going to die and get revived AGAIN after a heroic sacrifice in Y against GHOST.
This drives Lao off the deep end. Or it would, but the Zohar lets him off the hook and allows him to actually die, resigning itself to not make the same mistake with its next contact.
Subsequently, the incarnations of Fei in Gears don't have memories of their past selves.
It's also kinda like retroactive foreshadowing for Lacan going crazy and becoming Grahf when he learns about his past lives. Neet.
After Lao is dead for real this time and the Zohar gets carted back to NLA for research, some unexpected visitors show up.
A few other members of Elma's race arrive, and they have bad news, they're being trailed by a larger force of Ganglion than what you fought against in X.
After some preparations, you muster all your allies and get ready to defend planet Mira.
You do a better job of it than you did of Earth, but it the outlook still looks bleak.

The entire point of the Lifehold Core was always to makeDesu. The chimeras were the system malfunctioning? Hell no, it's suppose to do that.
Anyway, any bio organisim that the core spit out earlier is liable to get absorbed by the emergent bio weapon system, so a bunch of humans mutate and combine into the most grotesque Megazord you've ever seen.Deusis able to turn the tides of battle to your side's favor and the attacking Ganglion force is completely destroyed and routed.
So you win the battle, in a super gross and inhumane way, but you win. "Human survival at any cost" that was Chausson's MO anyway, or close enough.
So why doesDeuslater go on to rebel againist it's creator, humanity?
Because of the fucking retarded plot point of genetic memory (why do writers keep doing this shit?).
But they did already use it in X when chimera Lao tells you shit that Luxaar knew, so I guess it was foreshadowed?
Anyway, Deus also has genetic memory from Luxaar and this acts as the seed of betrayal and eventually leads to it rebelling MUCH later and causing Gears to happen
Basically the post credits scene in Y (set thousands of years later) is an approxamation of the opening scene to Gears

I can't clearly see the art left of Bullet Storm, but the entire left side is definitely Knife. I'm not too familiar with Knife arts names yet, but iirc that's Secondary Speed, Energy Source, Screamer, and Black Bane.
All three of the Gatling arts are weapon-dependent for attribute, and they're exactly what you'd use for non-thermal Gatling.
So yes, that's definitely a sleep knife/gatling set. Knife/sniper is also a thing, Afterburner is hilariously strong. I don't know how strong it'd be with the other ranged weapons though

It's not in the FAQ, but the manual says it is possible (bottom of p37, links to p12 which has no useful info about this) to command my team to automatically exit their skells and board them when I do.
Where is this option?

Guys I'm desperate for some advice
First off, I started this game at the beginning of the month and have been playing it on and off
Just got to Chapter 12 andis there a trick to the chimera part? All of my skells are toast by then and I get rekt in 10 seconds flat. My team's all lv 57-ish in lv 30 heavy skells with g-busters/phoenixes. Do I really need to farm credits for hours to get lv 50s? Even easy modo didn't help. Am I missing something?
Thanks to any anons who are kind enough to share a word or two
>>136582883
At least one 50 with a 50 phoenix is the fast/easy way. On foot you get raped hard.
Try to save your skells through Vita, don't be ashamed to use items.
/vg/ must be pretty fast today
>>136582383
Heavenly pits. They are the best 3D modeled deltoids and pectorals I've seen.
>>136585063
I have 1.7 million credits at the moment
Should I save for a heavy lv 50 or go with a light? Thanks anon.
Also, any faster methods of getting credits? I've tried the crystals in 224 (fucking slow, 20k every run) and trying to leave the game on overnight (didn't tick at all)
>>136585605
Elma's got some nice pecs.
>>136585862
>only 1.7mil
how?
I hit 5mil at 30
>>136586351
How?
I mean, I rushed through the game a little bit (only did the bare minimum for affinities and stuff). That's probably why, I guess.
Not really excited about sinking in another ten hours, sitting at 63 right now.
I wanted to finish the final chapter before doing all the extra side stuff because I heard you can get easy money and resources after. Guess I fucked myself
I love this game, but it's such a fucking piss off when some super strong motherfucker decides to pop up and get involved right when you're getting ready to finish off something else. I just had a neary flawless run against the arrow cinicula, and when it just had a sliver of health left, something I couldn't even fucking see one shotted my whole party from full health.
>>136585862
The game has anti-idle detection, if it detects you're idling then you don't get credits/miranium. Get an oscillating fan and tie a string around one of the control pads and onto the fans.

cash updates every 15 minutes if you're active, so even by the time you're 40 hours in when you get your lv20 skell you've made at least 2mil off probes

Did anyone actually manage that Prone mission to kill ONLY one guy without any others?
Fucking stupid, nowhere in the mission log did it say not to kill anyone else. How the fuck else am I meant to get to him?
Really annoyed me when that cunt said he'd find someone better for the next mission.
>>136600456
I did. They make a big deal out of how the prone tactician wannabe hypes up how killing one guy can make a battle a lot easier. I just flew through the camp until I found the guy, shot him with my skell and flew off.
FYI there's later missions where you have to kill a specific enemy within a time limit several times to get the best result.

Whoa there third world internet, why you dicking me around?
has anyone here tried to make a gatling/javelin build that works via shock 300% damage? i'd hoped there was a topple ability, but i'm guessing not, because i was really hoping to topple/shock/background noise/dirty fighter kind of combinations, but that's likely out - though in a group setting, you can make similarly absolutely broken combinations. it's a shame many of the gatling gun abilities are thermal by nature, since it feels like i'd be wasting a lot of DPS by prioritizing electric with a crank.
>>136607968
I have an electric Saber build that uses 300% shock damage and 18% percent chance to inflict shock and that increased the damage by a shitload so if you're wondering how effective that skill is I can tell you it works wonders. Don't know about any of the other shit though
>every character has 2 weapons instead of one
Would this work as well in a game with a set cast of party members like Chronicles? I kind of feel the two weapons system works to make up for the lack of uniqueness among characters. Whereas if you were gonna make, say, Reyn have two weapons, then you might as well just design his weapon to have the functions of both. Instead of a gun and a shield, just make his 'gunlance' shield capable of firing rounds.

>>136609037
No, the two weapon system is retarded as it means having to maintain two weapons, maybe more depending on what skills you use for certain bosses. There are other ways to implement different skills in a more enjoyable way.
The characters and their unique roles were a lot better than the mishmash of nobodies we got this time. I would have much preferred no MC and just making Elma the Shulk of this game.

>>136612676
Shit taste. Two weapon system allowed for deeper strategy and customization. I mean I shouldn't be surprised that fans of the original Xenoblade prefer dumbed-down mechanics but still.
>>136613197
The new system is more dumbed down than previously, the chain attack system added more depth than anything X has done.
With two weapons you simply select the skills you want most of which are shared, the actual weapon is irrelevant. Soul voices replaces the deep skill system in the first game and makes combat a reliance on the AI calling out to you so you can spam something. That's not strategy, it's barely tactics.
The combat system is objectively worse.

is there any benefit to not immediately cashing in your tickets during a nemesis event? i normally just cash em out, but i remember seeing something where the rewards are doubled if they're defeated (neither will be defeated on the lifehold squad right now), but even when they were defeated, i don't recall anything special other than ONE item.
i assume after the event, any appendages on your person get cashed in anyway?
