I jumped down a bottomless pit with my skell. I didn't realise that would destroy it. Fuck...

Thats why I saved before trying to see if I could reach that floating island in oblivia, hint, its alot further than it looks

 

[TheMoon]

Is there a way to influence the weather?

fast traveling anywhere will often make the weather change.

 

[desu]

I actually prefer Caesar, the Hundred-Eyed in the Lava Cave of Primordia (Tyrant 68). He drops Skell Wear helmet with XV+ Fuel Bind. Such a good item.

Well the Joker has like what, 20-25 LV60 adds around him. Does Caesar have the same ?

(post chapter 5)

Spoiler

I mean I wouldn't have expected them to not continuously reference it but it gets to the point of where everyone is just like "I'm a mimosome, not a person everyone, that explains everything." Prior to post chapter 5 I think the only point that word shows up is the repair center sign though I'm not sure cause I never bothered to read it till then. Still, it's pretty much my only real gripe with the story at this point (only just completed chapter 7)

You can do

Spoiler

the Hope recruiting mission

before starting chapter 5 which the opening cutscene has the question

Spoiler

"can mimosome conceive?"

which if you've not beaten chapter 5 is a bit of a "say what?" moment. There is also the more subtle things like

Spoiler

"They were soldiers" affinity mission with the line Doug: (referring to Irinia) "I've repaired the damage" and the fact a healing art is called repair

The first game was a bit like that with a plot twist as well.

Spoiler

After beating Xord a woman in Colony 9 mentions her father was called Xord and a blacksmith but was lost in the battle for Sword Valley.

 

[Thorwaldsson]

What is the point of skell wear, I'd check in the game... but I'm at work.

 

[Golnei]

oh GOD
THINK OF THE MODS
THINK OF IT
just Mod the Gundams, Xenogears, and any other mechs in

Unfortunately, it'd be impossible to mod in a decent version of Jehuty - the cockpit animations would be misaligned. You could get around it by not rigging those parts, but it'd look fairly rough.

 

[Blues1990]

Hnnnnngggh, Noctilum is my favorite continent (and I haven't even discovered the "rest" of that place). The day music reminds me of an unused Sting/Peter Gabriel experimental track. So good.

Any GAF folks playing focused on multyplayer/playing in the same squad? NNID is Jockystar

Any specific Sting/Peter Gabriel track you are referring to? I need to listen to the music from that band, as it's on my to-do list.

Oh, and my NNID is ChickenPotPie23. See you online!

 

[Qurupeke]

also... ppl said there's only 9 or 10 storage probes in the game... but i have 11 lol

Whaaaaat.

 

[Boss Doggie]

At what point can I change my class?

 

[Haunted]

Does anyone have a good spot to level from 48-50? I have level 50 Skell patiently waiting in the hanger for me.

Also what are people naming their Skells? I heard about the Ares the same day I got my first Skell and decided to run with that name scheme. So far my Skell Pantheon is made up of Aphrodite, Apollo, Persephone, Zeus, Hera and Poseidon.

Skellie
Skelleton
Skellma
Skelletor
Skellster

I wanted a Skellington but it doesn't fit in the character limit.

 

[random25]

At what point can I change my class?

If you level up your drifter class to 10.

 

[Rebel Leader]

I never would have known how to get the honey oil if I hadn't looked it up

Holy shit this game.

40 hours in, haven't started chapter 7 yet and I just hit 1 million credit.

You go to blade barracks and buy it. That's it.

 

[NeonZ]

Skell Wear's augments give Skell bonuses.

Also what are people naming their Skells? I heard about the Ares the same day I got my first Skell and decided to run with that name scheme. So far my Skell Pantheon is made up of Aphrodite, Apollo, Persephone, Zeus, Hera and Poseidon.

I basically included model number references to the color schemes I'm homaging for the chosen mecha- so, K-66 Strike for a mostly green with white and yellow robot, RX-78 Arma for one with original Gundam colors, etc.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Something I just figured out and something anyone considering trying to farm things like Phoenix or G2-Buster should definitely do (or any other rare for that matter).

Equip your party with armour that has treasure sensor. It boosts drop rates and does stack (I don't know if it has a cap or not). Examples of things that have it are L's bodywear and the cat and dog face armour. I'm going to search the shops when I next play to see if I can find anything that has better stats.

Since it is special I assume it works when piloting Skells?

Making the augments probably isn't that practical.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Is the Eagle Eye art bugged? When I upgrade it it says that the R attack up skill increases in lvl, but when I use it it's still R attack up II, even at art lvl IV.

I get drops for days (and good ones too) and I've got the level 55 (I think) Heavy one (chest is ____ Bulwark I think. It has rank V Treasure Sensor) on everyone and I'm swimming in gold/orange drops

 

[Benzychenz]

Went to jump across a small gap, but an enemy aggro'd halfway across so I just lost all momentum and fell straight down.

All these small little annoyances are really piling up and making this feel really unpolished.

Reminds me the treasure sensor bug in JP version, sigh.

At least that didn't lead to you dropping your Skell into a bottomless pit.

But it is surprising that an enemy attacking you causes that to happen, since if you're in the air while exiting combat; you'll maintain your momentum instead of falling. Having it apply when being attacked would seem like a deliberate decision in that case, though I'm not sure why.

It's called Flinch.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hmm is melee ideal or should I stick to ranged?

 

[LeFAIS]

Please somebody sell me on this game, my Wii U is gathering dust and this game seams very interesting, so could somebody please sell me on this game?

 

[Benzychenz]

It's called Flinch.

Well yeah I know what it is, but that doesn't make it good.

Please somebody sell me on this game, my Wii U is gathering dust and this game seams very interesting, so could somebody please sell me on this game?

Did you like the first Xenoblade?

 

[Limality]

This was such a weird exchange

I can't tell if it's sexist or not. The tone is sleazy as fuck too. My mind is shattered right now

The Irony of that sentence after chapter 5 though XD

 

[Golnei]

Hmm is melee ideal or should I stick to ranged?

Melee weapons should be your default for auto-attacks if you don't have any particular ranged buffs active, but you're supposed to spread out arts for both; at least enough to respond to Soul Voices.

Please somebody sell me on this game, my Wii U is gathering dust and this game seams very interesting, so could somebody please sell me on this game?

It's an okayish attempt at an open-world RPG; whose flaws generally aren't enough to make the entire experience unpleasant. The lack of budget shows through at times, but it doesn't fail to live up to all of its ambitions.

 

[Qurupeke]

Thank me later.

 

[Firehead]

Fucking finally!

YES!

Now, when do I get the option for flight? Around level 30, right? And should I focus on acquiring additional skells for the rest of my party right now?

 

[moerser]

i dont like exploration, i dont play much jrpgs, i hate time consuming games.

man i love xenoblade chronicles x.

seriously, get it.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Gave Elma and Lin skells, now I'm triple afraid.

 

[Qurupeke]

Gave Elma and Lin skells, now I'm triple afraid.

If you have insurances, they'll always perfectly exit from it, so you won't lose the insurance and you'll never pay for it.

 

[Zomba13]

Yup. Give them something with at least 1 insurance then when it pops it's fine (just go back to the Hanger to get it back for free)

DO NOT GIVE THEM ONE WITH 0 INSURANCE
It will just pop and you have to pay or use a salvage ticket.

 

[LeFAIS]

Did you like the first Xenoblade?

Never Played it.

It's an okayish attempt at an open-world RPG; whose flaws generally aren't enough to make the entire experience unpleasant. The lack of budget shows through at times, but it doesn't fail to live up to all of its ambitions.

Hmm, thank you for your input.

 

[Xenoboy]

So how many botomless pits are there?
I only know of the Oblivia one in the beginning.

 

[aravuus]

Never Played it.

And even if you had, no matter! I disliked a lot of things in the original XB, but loved XBX

 

[R00bot]

Pretty sure that's the only one...

 

[Gattsu25]

I'm going to be visiting my family for the Holiday and would like to take my save with me..uh...how do I even do that on the Wii U? I would need to bring my profile or mii or something as well, right?

Gave Elma and Lin skells, now I'm triple afraid.

If an AI member gets their Skell destroyed it never chips away at the insurance counter. You still have to head back to your barracks terminal to get it repaired for free, though.


If you manage to get your Skell insurance counter down to 1, it would actually be a good idea to trade yours with an AI partner just for this reason. Their Skell would have full insurance and, once they are using your old one, their insurance counter will never decrease down to zero.

That's so abstract, but you've managed to intrigue me...

Then play it first.

It's on the Wii U eshop awaiting you.

 

[Xane]

I haven't reached 0 insurance on any of my Mechs yet. How much do you have to pay for insurance? How much on a lv60 Mech?

 

[Rodin]

What's your baby's name?]

Weltall X obviously!

Guys i need your help. Running around NLA i found different people with yellow dialogues saying Elma is doing this at night, Elma is at the water center, Elma is on the

Spoiler

Ma-non ship,

etc

Does this have anything to do with the heart-to-heart conversations? Do i have to kick her out of the party and go to these places to find her? Because 43 hours in i've seen exactly zero of them and i'm wondering what the fuck is going on. The way they're handled is terrible anyway, i know they are in the game only because i read it on Gaf, othewise i would have never known -.-

 

[LeFAIS]

Thank me later.

WHAT THE...

Fucking finally!


YES!

Is that like a unlockable character or what?

Kinda worried for spoilers you see.

...why?

 

[Chris Ticehurst]

70 hours plus and still enjoying exploring the world and manged to get data prones to everything expect Lv 5.

What are some good areas to grind for myself at Lv 39?

 

[aravuus]

Then play it first.

It's on the Wii U eshop awaiting you.

Weird recommendation to make, they're asking about XBX.

XB is 100% not needed to play to fully enjoy XBX, MarocFAYS, to be clear. They're only connected through stuff like Nopons, which would be Xenoblade's Moogles.

 

[Zomba13]

I haven't reached 0 insurance on any of my Mechs yet. How much do you have to pay for insurance? How much on a lv60 Mech?

I've only lost a lvl30 Amduses (or whatever) one but I can't remember how much it cost. I can't remember if it was the full price to buy a new one or a fraction of it. I just used salvage tickets from Division rewards.

I just find it strange that people only ever want to play the newest games.

Like, the first one is available on the same console, it's cheaper, and it has better reviews.

 

[MrPanic]

Welp, hit 95 hours on this game according to that in-game timer and I haven't even finished the main story yet. Always stuff to do in this game.

 

[aravuus]

Maybe with a series like Yakuza I'd agree, but XB and XBX are very different games. Nothing strange about it.

Nah, that's my character.
