Xenoblade Chronicles X countdown. The RPG that places Nintendo back on top in the industry

Or get good at getting a Perfect when your skell blows up, so you don’t have to change divisions.

Or just press y before it blows up and save the repair bill entirely.

Interesting. I’m gonna stick with Pathfinders for now, then. Might switch to Harrier or Interceptor down the road, but for now gaining a shit ton of experience just for exploring sounds gdlk to me. Reminds me of how I always methodically seek out all the Vantage Points in Ass Creed before doing anything else. The idea of divisions in general is pretty cool.

On another note, the multiplayer functions kind of confuse me, but it seems like you’re able to ā€œborrowā€ other people’s characters as an NPC in your party? Kind of like how you can use other people’s pawns in Dragon’s Dogma? Is that pretty much the only multiplayer features the game has?

Not easily possible when in flight though. Unless someone can tell me otherwise, I don’t think you can exit unless you’re grounded.

In the barracks, there’s a terminal where you can do missions with other live players. There are also time attack missions where you can fight previously defeated bosses. Then there’s the squad missions were you have to defeat certain enemies or collect certain items. In these missions, you contribute to the mission in your own world when you find the correct targets. By doing these missions, you can unlock special missions where you fight super bosses who only stick around for a limited time before they disappear, and then the process is repeated.

You have to be grounded before you can exit.

Also, your BLADE Lv is not your character level. You have 3 parameters to level up on your character: Rank(your player level, maxes at 60), Class(your equipped class, maxes at 10), and BLADE(your rank within the division, maxes at 10). The boosts you would get to EXP for exploring would go toward your BLADE level and not your Rank, though you still get Rank EXP for it.

I feel I’m missing some playable characters this far in (finished Ch 10), what I have access to so far is:

Spoiler

Elma, Lin, Doug, Hope, Frye, Phog, Alexa, Gwin, Irina, HB, Murderess, Boze, L, Nagi, Yelv, Lao (though not anymore)

I can guess one more as I’ve seen 'em but don’t have the level prerequisites yet to do the affinity mission… but should I have access to any others at this point?

Finally got that telethia bastard, got the everqueen down to yellow as well but it started spamming some curaga bullshit and the mastema I switched to to get a bit of extra damage can’t handle the long game like my formula zero can, going to have another crack at it tomorrow.

Finally got a copy of the game…
… But is till don’t have a fucking tv :mad:

Start up the game, mash a to get past the title screen and eventually you should see a few little icons down the right hand side of your pad, one will be to show the game on it.

Kind of dumb you can’t just swap screens before the title screen, but whatever.

At least I hope it still works like that on a new game, done it on continuing my existing save and it worked fine.

After game loads you can just hold a finger on the pad and it’ll switch over to it on title screen.

:coffee:

@Cyntalan, I answered you in the IRC. In case you didn’t see it…

Spoiler

You’re missing Mia

Spoiler

You’re also missing Celica there should be a mission to find a small girl and a giant in noctilum then a recruitment mission in New LA

Who comes from a pretty lengthy questline and special conditions.

If anyone needs assistance with recruitment let me know.

any reviews.

Finally took out Bitchwald the Regenerating Asshole, he face tanked 3 Zenith Cannon blasts but the last 2 were both together thanks to cockpit time and that’s what made the difference.

Seriously that regeneration is insane though, like making the Deus Crusher look like it does fuck all damage insane.

I went inside this thing and got attacked by something:

Didn’t get a good look at it. Saw it was Lv. 90 and got the fuck out.

Ah, you met Joker lol. I did the same thing when I found him. As I flew away, I remembered people saying he was a joke(lol) Tyrant… Considered going back, but nah.

Nah get the fuck back in.

Seriously, like how big enemies the same level as you or below can murk you on foot, you can murk Joker pretty easy.

Like using a level 50 Skell with no augments easy.

Spoiler

It’s only a blatta

Does he drop anything good? Just got Blossom Dance, so I can probably take him on foot lol.

Speaking of Blossom Dance… Nagi’s a beast. Man went HAM in that one scene.
