Why is the Mor Ardain music so good?

Oh shit they datamined. I'll have to read this later this afternoon:

Well, it turns out that the game chooses which column gives the base probabilities on your save file upon the creation of said file

fffffff
---

looking at the probability chart and the blades I got in what order I can almost guarantee I got Probability #2 for my save file
---

good to see kosmos is just as unobtainable regardless of the starting seed you get

what a weird system to implement
---

Based on the pity blades I would think I had column 1, but that has really high probabilities for my missing blades (Adenine/Perun). Every other column has either one of those or a blade I got very late (Finch, Vale) as a pity blade.
---

Pretty sure I'm column 3, however that suggests Finch is super common and she's one of the 3 Blades I don't have yet.
---

3 of my first like 4 rare blades were Ursula, Perceval, and Adenine so I'm likely column 1. fairly possible Boreas and Godfrey were pity blades for me too, but I don't remember that as well as my first few blades
---

I'm not really sure I can determine what column I'm in. I didn't get all three pity blades from any of them particularly early, but I also had pretty good draw rates on rare Blades for the most part so I would've been resetting the last one a lot. Column 3 would be my best guess.
---

i got kos mos second and vale third or fourth so who fucking knows where i am
---

they took out "don't forget me" in the update?????????

wtf, why would they remove literally the only thing about this game that I loved
---

too many idiots complaining about it I guess
---

Let those idiots play a different game

Xenoblade fans are here specifically for the repetitive phrases

Starting my first Xenoblade game. In chapter 2, where I wasted most of my money on Cylinders so I could fix the crane. Actually took less time than I thought it would from reading an FAQ. Guess they made those gears easier to get.
---

It's not really possible to waste money on cylinders since you can almost always make more money back with what you salvage. Just make sure you're going to traders and not just selling the stuff by itself.
---

Bump
---

is it march 2nd yet
---

In Chapter 3 now.

So I'm binding blades or whatever, and... Rex gets another generic one from a rare crystal. Then i decide "I'll give Nia one." And... she gets KOS-MOS from Xenosaga? Seriously? That's pretty cool, but kinda wish it had happened for Rex instead. I like Nia as a healer right now (though I'm not sure I need one)

Also find it weird that they told me to 'escape from the battleship' and... I did, but it didn't count because I didn't exit the right way. I just went out the way I came in thinking I'd be clever. Thus avoiding the obvious Trap later I mean obviously the game progression goes that way, but an escape is an escape game! Give me a reason to go that way!
---

Im about to put you on ignore for that
---

Nia is actually one of the two better options for KOS-MOS, but it won't be until late-ish game that she'll really shine on her.

some people have spent tens of hours actively trying to get KOS-MOS with no luck. shes the rarest blade in the game lol

she's super good too
---

Guess I got lucky then. She's only the second non-generic blade I've gotten. The other is Zenobia?
---

lol Zenobia is also commonly one of the last few people get.

she was my second too! we're definitely luckier than most. Zenobia's pretty rare too i think?
---

Now just pull Vale and Newt next and you'll have won the Xenoblade Mega Millions.
---

Now that you've told me that, I'll probably never get them. I think the luck is in not knowing what's rare.

Granted, I've still never in my life run into a shiny pokemon, and never even knew they existed until a couple of years ago.

is it march 2 yet
---

it's march 2 in japan

Xenoblade has made it big

New features added to New Game Plus:
Zeke's "Eye of Shining Justice" has been unlocked.

Hype!
---

...i wasn't planning on doing a second playthrough right away but... now i... hmm.
---

Saving after beginning a New Game Plus playthrough will overwrite the save data in which you initially cleared the game.

:(
---

Yeah, that part is unfortunate.
---

oh shit it's apparently live?
---

it is!
---

A person on the Xenoblade board is reporting that their stuff didn't carry over when they started New Game+. It's possible they made a mistake but to be safe double check that your stuff transferred before saving your game.
---

Okay maybe this is coincidence but my legendary core farming on Insectivore Melvin seems to have gone to shit since updating. My set up is exactly the same as before, but this morning most of my smashes have only been yielding a single common core.
---

That said holy fuck skipping awakening is the greatest.

It's not. People have checked, and it's definitely dropped.

On the other hand, you can buy them now with bonus xp.

In NG+. =/

This revelation kills my interest in trying to get KOS-MOS this run, though...

Might as well just go finish up the last few quests I have and finally beat the game I guess. I wouldn't have waited for the update if I knew this was going to happen, lol.
