Gosh, that absolutely breaks my heart they needed to put that stuff in the gameI'm feeling like I will be skipping the rest of this game... Really too bad.. Been absolutely memorized by the monsters and scenery displayed in the preview trailers over the years.
Now I have to figure out what to do with this Collectors Edition sitting on my shelf 8....(
Oh, just keep playing and enjoying the game! It's not like you're going to be around those NPCs 24/7! You're going to spend more time exploring in the fields and hunting giant monsters than you are with the NPCs!

Sometimes the drops are just really, really bad. Use your tickets to get enemy drops if you have some.

So I just finally got my Skell and I'm level 27. I'm reading around and getting the impression that this first Skell really is pretty terrible and I should just wait until 30 to dump some cash into one of those? Looking for some suggestions.
First, the turning radius of this Skell is terrible - so much that I don't even use vehicle mode. Any recommendations on a level 30 that improves this aspect?
Next thing, is the combat in Skells as slow as it appears? Seems the CDs are pretty long and I find myself kind of waiting around a lot compared to fighting on the ground. Ground combat definitely seems to be more dynamic and fun but again, I just got this guy so I'm expecting that it gets a lot better.

I was really hoping not to use my tickets, as I don't know how to obtain Blade Points, and unless if people invite me, I can't do the online squad missions on my own.
I would recommend keeping that Skell until you can quire some cash for a fleet of level 50 Skells.

Ok thanks, finally found her. Hiding behind everything. Worst is that it's an all day heart to heart so she's not around for recruiting till you find her or find someone to tell you about it.
Been wanting to go through the game as FAQ free as possible till I beat the game but Irina is one of my main 4.
I'm not 100% on this, but can anyone discredit finding research probes from something other than (picture below) this type of wreckage? My last 3 were from this type of wreckage specifically, I've been trying to discredit myself, but having trouble finding anymore...

I think one main complaint at this point is that after raising the diff specs of my weapons and armor, there unquestionably better armor if those stats weren't there. Like a piece of armor I have is 4, I can buy a 8, but my shooting range and efficiency goes down because I focused on upgrading that stat.
I just wish there was a way to dismantle all the upgrades back into mknster drops. I'm tired of farming all these various Suids just to get the tails I need for upgrading.

I don't agree with that at all. Level 30 skells are relatively speaking, pretty damn cheap and make a huge difference if you ever want to do something like boost yourself to level 50/60 quickly. Those things by themselves can handle even some level 60 creatures with the right loadout. Obviously I'd go for a middle weight or even light weight one though.
I'm still in the opening hours of the game,
but it's really weird that they're taking everything seriously except Nopon. I get that they were jokes in Xenoblade, but in the context of this game it seems odd that they're talking seriously about indigenous threats and diplomacy while just making fun of Nopon.
I was just thinking the same thing.
A part of me suspect that they're more important in long term than we think.
They speak often about the first game.
But yeah, des made them more selfish and silly than in the first game, lol

Think in part it's that the exploration effort is a cooperative one. There's so very little information on the game out there and whatever there is, is often kinda confusing.
Well the Joker has like what, 20-25 LV60 adds around him. Does Caesar have the same
Did some loose tests, drops are better from Caesar for money value.
Exp is better from Joker from sheer density. Caesar only has about ten petrimands you can aggro along the way.

I have to say that some of the side quests in the game (particularly ones you get in the residential and commercial districts) feel like episodes of Star Trek TNG.
oh. Same shit happened to me last time I did it.

So I have a 1TB Seagate external hard drive and a 32GB Flash drive.
Would Xenoblade Chronicles X do better if it was installed onto the external hard drive or the flash drive. I remember reading that the external hard drive was the better option, but I'd like to be sure.

I'm pretty sure testing showed that it was slightly faster on the external storage, but not by a significant margin.
Sorry, I can't help.
I installed everything on the Wii U.
But I did heard that some people had some crash but never mentionned what support they used. Personally I didn't any cras, lag or freeze compared to them.
True, but I was somewhat expecting a lot of people to either get overwhelmed/bored by the abundance of mechanics and drop the game, or that it was going to fall into the nice niche game market it seemed to be heading towards (still is?).
On another note someone seems to have finally extended the Noctilum day theme, just pure bliss right there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhsDSyTw7pk

Getting flight is much sweeter than getting the Skell itself I feel. Especially when you see FrontierNav income practically double thanks to Oblivia.
Exploring Noctolum I find a prone base I'd totally forgotten about and inside was a level 28 tyrant. Scythe to the back didn't OHKO it so I used phoenix and kind of killed about half the base It was a lame base with no robots but that was the first time I had seen quite how much the AoE of phoenix can do.
In other news the game is dumb in how it gives you quests at times. I got a weapon testing quest for a weapon I can't equip for another 10 levels and I'm pretty sure a retrival quest I got was actually impossible pre-flight when I got it (the nav ball would literally go to waterfall and move vertically).

Upgrading armour is very expensive in comparison to making equivilant augments and since it is one-way should be done on armour you will use for a while. Yes augments require a free slot on armour

Is it just me, or has western reception been far more positive compared to how this game was received in japan?

Going full Wesley with Astral Crusader at the moment. Focusing everything on ranged attack, and might go with an ether weapon for Core Crusher shenanigans using Shrapnel later in the game. Stuck with javelin at the moment, but Hair Trigger is a decent buff, and Raijin should help keep me alive with some extra reflect augments. Considering switching to a shield for Supershield/Shield Wall once I've mastered this class, though.
It's likely better compared to the importers, but that might be about it.
I'm almost done with my longsword/sniper custom combo. Just need to get Sidewinder to replace Shrapnel, as damage is down when there's nothing to break, and it's done. Not a super overdrive build, but it's cool and deals high enough damage to kill shit I normally shouldn't be able to.

I dunno. From my perspective, Japanese reception was decidedly mixed whereas western reception seems significantly more positive.
Which would be in keeping with Takahashi's own predictions, where he said in an interview that western gamers are generally more open to open world games compared to Japanese gamers.

CAAAAAW, do you still have a copy original spreadsheet where the stuff isn't translated?
8 variants of Xe-dom... it is in CAAAAW's spreadsheet

Yeah. You meet intelligent indigenous life on this planet and the first thing you do is threaten to eat it and constantly make jokes about eating it because of course that is good for interspecies diplomacy.
Oh fuck those things. I'll wait until my Urban has 1000 evasion, ain't soloing that shit any time soon.
I should really stop doing sidequests for a half hour and see what the fuss is all about shouldn't I?Chapter 8:
This game doesn't have a story, right?!

Usually the people who make that claim are the one who wants comapre X to Xenoblade 1 and blindly love first game.
*run away*
I do not remember where is Lin and Elma's first heart to heart place because it doesn't show on the FrontierNav
This helps and I hope it works!
How would I do that from NA?

check A90 evasion value, that should be enough to avoid most of its attack
but yeah its gravity-based attacks are deadly for skells w/o proper setup
