    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    What annoyed me was that all attacks are locked to specific weapons (when on foot, I never got a skell). There is no way to unlock attacks for use with every weapon. Once you've maxed out all tge classes progressions then maybe they could have allowed attacks to be used with any wespon, not...

    You can remove most of them in the game's setting menus.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Someimes I wish there was an elective mode when you mastered every class and weapon type on main character. So you can then can use a specific art with any weapon. There are a couple of arts I can't use but would like to, but they are for different weapons ot the ones I use. Also this would...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    XC is not better than XCX. It's not worse either. It's just very different. Both XC and XCX have good and bad ponts. XC's linearity and overly complicated affinity system to many is a flaw. But to some XCX's music and combat is a flaw. Neither game is perfect. I personally like XCX more...

    External. A format fixed everything, just lost the data and had to re-download it all. I keep the XCX data on internal now.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Chapter 5 or 6 I forget which. I do have overdrive and I know the secret of the town clock. It's been a while though. I had to restart because of a dead HDD. So I decided to see how much I could explore on foot. And what I can do on foot as I really like that form of combat. I know I've...

    I would not know. I've never used a skell in XCX yet.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    When I get back into this game which is hopefully soon, I want to try out the inf overdrive build. I don't like how overdrive warps you into the void in terms of how the game looks while you are in overdrive mode, but that build looks fun.

    I see no one has talked about their Limited Edition NA artbook. Would anyone like to put up a few screen shots of it? We EU/Aus folk would really like to see what it's like and what we missed out on. I was thinknig of getting it on ebay, just the NA artbook, but I'm not sure how worth it is...

    You are welcome. If you can win all your battles it does not matter who is dead at the end, they all get the same exp, dead or alive. The Lobster Quest is not completable unless you have access to flying skells and a very powerful skell to battle with. I did most of the quest without a skell...

    What @Lozjam said. You go into the barracks and use the derminal off to the side room. The one all about Divisions (not the other barracks customisation terminal). Then you select use tickets. It's one of the options there or a sub option. Just remember tickets are only good for most monster...

    Wow so different to me. I use my tickets all the time. At the mostly for the XP booster XX gems. Later on I'll use them for Ares 90 mats.
  13. the8thark

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    What does a boosted division give more of? @Ver-go-a-go-go I tested it and it's correct. Once you have either the top listed item or all of the items needed for it it appears on the list to make. Tested and confirmed.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    As far as I know you unlock an augment when you have all of the materials to make it. I will test this out to see though.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I have restarted the game, no thanks to my WiiU destroying the save on my external HDD. Anyway I'm back at level 20 and having fun. This time round I am farming the items for the XP booster XX augment. The required materials are: 5x Golden jewel (costs 42 eickets each) 5x Jiant Jade Pearl...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    When I restart the game soon I'll power level my self to level 60 ASAP I think. I will hit chapter 4 then spend 20-30 hours or so just killing everything I see to increase my level. That will make the game easier and also different to how I played it the first time. Still have not gotten a...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Later on in the game you can get more storage probes. You also get storage and booster probes from completing continents of the collectapedia. 3/5 of the continents collectapedia is doable without a skell anytime Chapter 4 onwards (skell not needed). The last 2 continents are almost...

    Fetch quests in most games suck because the games never tell you specifically where to go fetch the items. They just give you a rough location one quarter the size of the entire game and basically tell you "Good luck, you'll need it, Hahaha!" The quests themselves don't suck, it's the fact...

    Yep she is. I'll keep her till the story is done then I'll trade her out for someone else. Who I really hate is HB. He's just so arrogant and thinks he's the best at everything. So much so that he instantly turned me off having him in my party. I tried him out for a bit but his arrogant...

    That's exactly how I got onto the walls of NLA. It seems collecting the lobsters are scripted in the way you have said. I'll collect them later. I'm still avoiding the story (I'm in Chapter 4) and doing as much side content as I can. I might hit the story soon though. Thanks for the advice...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    That is correct (all of quests are called "Off The Record") and I know the mechanical one requires a flying skell. Not sure about the other two. Thanks a million for the tip. That I didn't know about but it looks like a really good tactic. You just have to make sure it's not an auto complete...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    My comments on this are as follows. But first thanks for saying all of this. Much appreciated. :) 1. I don't see the issue. Sure some of the rarer collectable fetch quests can take a while. But if you know what areas in each continent to farm them, it's not all that bad. This does require...
  23. the8thark

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    The only issue there is the lengh of time you need to run away from tougher enemies before the combat stops. That is slightly annoying. But not too bad. It is a lot less in XC Wii. On continent discovery sake, 4 of the 5 continents are very explorable. You can explore most of them at a...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Well we shall see how many I can get without a skell. That could be a while yet as I want to do more % discovery before starting chapter 4 quests. I just did 100% of the Primordia collectapedia. And on Saturday (or maybe Friday night if I am not too tired) I'll do the other cinstinents...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I kind of suspected this as I don't have skells yet but the skell frames only started out at level 30. I just assumed you could only use a skell frame that you were of equal of better level than. Ie you need to be character level 50 to use a level 50 skell frame. I am surprised actually that...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    Thanks so much. :) I just thought this would be fun. For me it was. I think there is a few more normal quests I can do though In Chaptewr 4. I'll check. One thing you can do a lot of in Xenoblade Chronicles X is mountain climbing while on foot. There is so many rock faces that are not...

    I decided to do a main experiment and a side experiment in XCX. One I have not heard many people try. "Work out how much of XCX is completable without getting your first skell licence." This is the main experiment. "Work out how much of XCX is completable before you start your first Chapter 4...
  28. the8thark

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    It's not that big a deal. It's not too many you need a flying skell to get. You can easily place 80% of the probes for each continent on foot. I've done that for 3 continents so far. (primordia, Oblivia, Cauldros) and I am only level 30 currently. Soon I'll start exploring Noctilum. Also I...

    I would say a flying Skell at a guess. I already have a few FN sites I can see but need a flying Skell to get. I know, I've tried all kinds of mountain jumping to get to them. I personally want to see how many FN sites I can activate before getting a skell. I've only actually reached one Lv5...

    Does anyone know what the quest is called that when completed allows you to trade in/sell your miranium for credits/funds? I am intersested in this because at the moment I have the to spend miranium on and selling it old be nice as I could use the credits/funds. Also the division rewards are...

    A very indepth but very fun game. This game is not a quick hit of fun, like a Super Mario level. Everything in XCX is earnt the hard way. The sense of accomplishment knowing you have earnt everything is amazing. It's really fun. Just don't expect a linear story based game like XC or...
  33. the8thark

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    That is totally fine. XCX is only a spiritual sucessor. The story of the two games are not linked in any way. Also the combat takes a while to get, but it is worth persisting with. At it's core it is just like any modern MMO, like World of Warcraft. Automatic auto attacks then you have...

    I just got Dualist rank 10 and thus mastered the longsword. So I am using the longsword and all of it's arts to master all the other classes. The only thing I miss is not being able to use arts of mastered weapons, with other weapons. Having arts locked to a specific weapon is limiting. In...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    What I plan to do is to master the weapons I want to use the arts of, then I'll pick the class that has the best combination of class passive and skills I like. It's not so straight forward as different classes have different numbers of skill slots available. As fair as I know once you've...
  36. the8thark

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    That's strange indeed. When you do the last class in a set (ie one of the 6 final classes it says those weapons are mastered). You have to max out Samurai Gunner then max out duelist. Then you have those 2 weapons/arts mastered and use those two weapons and arts from those weapons anywhere...
  37. the8thark

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    As far as I know you can use the arts and weapons you have mastered in any class. I plan to use the long sword weapon/arts in the 2nd shield trooper class. Not sure what ranged weapon I want yet though. I don't use the ranged weapon though apart from taunting in enemies I can't initially get...

    This is why story mode quests need a level range. So we know what the optimum level to do them at is. Actually all quests could do with this. 4 stars tells me nothing. I beat a 4 star quest easy when I fuund a 2 star quest killing a some tyrant 3 levels above me and it wrekt me. This...

    I have not gotten any Skells yet. I'm still in Chapter 4, just exploring. I am level 21 and roughly 40 hours game played time for me so far. So far I ahve not felt forced to grind. Levelling up does not take that long actually if you kill things at a continual pace whiel you explore. I...

    When that Skell can fly you'll be having :) :) FUN :) :) Exploring as apposed to just plain old fun. I would not know, I do not even have a skell yet. I can only play on the weekend thanks to work.

    Likewise. I like that you explain your points very well. Not everyone agrees with the, but you take the time to explain and not say "XCX sucks" without any more information given. I do look forward to reading your comments here too. I will agree with you and say the story quests feel like an...

    XC is many different smaller areas for which you have to enter most or all of them to beat the game. You can not choose to skip entering Gaur Plains at all. The game forces you to enter Gaur Plains to progress in the game. What if you do not want to explore Gaur Plains at all or you want to...

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I think you get it 100%. XC is plot driven with a side of world exploration. XCX is world exploration driven with a side of story quests. Basically opposite in terms of what they are aiming to deliver. I do think I like XC more as certain things like the music in XC cater more to my tastes...
  44. the8thark

    Xenoblade Chronicles X

    I agree with you 100%. XC is just a different beast to XCX. As far as I know, I could be wrong on this, each hexagon can only have one important quest or action to it. Once you do that, it's done and you can have it ticked off. This is the same for NLA and the barracks. This narrows down...

    If someone said " I do not want to jump on goombas and use fire flowers in the Mario Bros game it should be interesting to do but optional", that would be absurd. Doing those things is the Mario games. That is the whole point of the game. Without them, the games are just not Mario games. The...

    That's one thing I had a slight issue with in XCX. Firs thing I did when I entered NLA (after all the cut scene stuff) was hit up the commercial district to see what shops there was to buy things from. I found a whole zero stores I could buy things at. Disappointed me somewhat. So far Armour...

    If it is anything like XC then you just have to walk really really slowly past them so you do not alert them with footsteps. If not then it's different in XCX.

    @CrimsonCavalier I agree. It's just a spiritual successor. I agree with everything you said. But I do not think think Bayonetta 2 is for everyone. I played quite a bit of it and hated it so much. But others love it. So it's a must try out to see if you'll like it game, that I cna agree...
