Board 8 > Xenoblade Chronicles - information/hype topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

it's really not complicated at all! Check NeoGAF's tutorial. I literally understood not a word of any of the technical terms and I was still able to do it very easily in about an hour

She has a nice rack.

Got all the timed quests on the Leg taken care of, I think. Now I'm pretty close to Bionis' Crotch.

you better not be talking trash about Fiora SHINE


Fiora only person I played as a lot other than Shulk =/

also woo Colony 9 got more quests for me

though I just went completely through Tephra Cave again to find a second Shin Gecko for one quest, but haven't found one augh

I been trying for a long time to setup my ipod as the wii drive, but so many errors and failure.. Wont let me reformat etc..

Solution: use WBSF.

Man, the hardest thing about this game will be deciding what party to really use, between badass and functional.

finally done with all those quests and did all the story events leading up to Colony 6 (and what a bunch of events those were)


switched skill trees with Reyn real quick so he can equip heavy armor


oh mans he actually looks like a tank now

went back to Colony 9 and did the new quests that had popped up before I head to Colony 6.


Now they're requiring me to do things like kill Gentle Rodriguez and having 2 female party members with a strong friendship

both of which are impossible for me at the moment because GR is 40 and I'm 26 and I still only have one female party member (spoilers I end up getting another female party member thanks a lot xenoblade)


I guess I'll finally go to Colony 6 >__>

I still don't understand skill trees and I'm not sure if it's worth it to try to.

--
EndOfDiscOne

what's not to understand

there 3 skill trees each with 5 skills

You get SP from battles which helps you learn your current skill


You can hit the minus button and link your skills to other party members. The higher affinity you have with that party member, the more skills you can share with them. This is where those affinity coins you've been collecting from level ups and unique monsters come into play because it costs a certain amount of coins to share a skill


Like after getting the heavy armor skill with Reyn, I shared with Shulk so he can wear Heavy armor too

i'm dumb as hell holy crap -ExThaNemesis

Good news, everyone!

I just found out the Best Buy near my house owes me about $100, so I'll soon be getting Xenoblade and that sexy red classic controller.

--
If you are reading this, either you're looking at my profile, I'm posting from my Droid, or GameFox is broken again..

I played a ton more today. I figured out how to describe this game.

it's Dragon Quest 8 with a more compelling narrative and battle system. even DQ8's biggest strength, its hugely detailed world, is trumped by Xenoblade.

I really like this game. it's gotta be the most involved JRPG ever made.

--

iphonesience

I finally found part 1 in the collectapedia for that one section.

**** that thing.

--
I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway, right now, do you care if I praise Black Turtle?
Call me numbers.

DQVIII comparisons always good. I'm not so sure that I'd feel the same way about the story and battle system, but a comparison to Dragon Quest is always good news!

--
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

pssh SHINE I just just killed Gentle Rodriguez

within 5 seconds he did a move named Thunderous Roar that did 7100 damage and not only killed my whole party in one hit, but sent us flying off a cliff another 100 feet before landing ont he ground

today I was pushing monsters off a cliff. props to Xenoblade for realizing it's a viable tactic and giving you exp for doing so.

Xenoblade just seems all around smart. people thought about everything you could do.

--
xyzzy

It sucks when party members get pushed off a cliff tho. But it's fun toppling birds when there's no ground under them.

EndOfDiscOne

I got pushed off a cliff during the last of a 12 mechon fight. that sucked.

you know what gets old really fast? mechon-only areas. enchant enchant enchant enchant enchant enchant enchant

I haven't gotten to Mechanis yet but I'm worried it won't be as good as Bionis due to lack of lush environments and interesting creatures.

--
EndOfDiscOne

I sometimes forget enchant exists!

Everytime I end up just using extendo-beam since it does critical damage to them

i really do need this game. anyone heard of any improved chances of Nintendo releasing this over here yet? if not, someone needs to get on the phone with Atlus! they will release just about any JRPG over here.

monolith is a nintendo first party developer, they wouldn't let a third party near it even if they had no intention of ever releasing it here.

darn it work I want to play this more
