Xenoblade 2 |OT2| THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME!? DON'T FORGET ME!
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
Finally got around to finding the Argentum drink people and following around the traveling dude. Gotta finish up the murals and the doubloons now.
Did some more pulls, got Agate on [4] and Perun on Nia. Still gotta throw Herald and Praxis on people.

have you complete the Captain Noppon Shrine Quest? cause
Noppon are not dumb, their whole speech patter was designed to create the illusion that they are cute and harmless and maybe stupid, but they are incredible smart and good at schemes and plots
I haven't done this quest yet, but I read your spoiler and this is pretty amazing, lol
TRUST NO ONE!
It's better if you keep invested on the main story first until ch4 maybe? After that the core combat would be pretty much fleshed out and will keep you hooked on mastering it (with few minor combat tutors later), also various new things like merc system. This is important because having to do fetch quest and grinding without the mechanism would be pretty tiring.
it's a good thing I cleared out the Old Factory during the story, because that is not a good place to be right now
there's some other locations that do this, right? there's plenty of places that were already terrifying during the story that are now more reasonable, like that one lakeside cave in Gormott

Probably the best non-blade sidequest in the game, due to that revelation.
Super early in at about 6 hours and loving it. Question about the Japanese VO, though. I'd like to switch it from English because some of the voice acting isn't that great but I notice the the battle cries and victory conversations aren't subtitled. Will I miss out on anything if I like play this way? Did anyone else g9 through it like this and feel like they didn't miss anything important? On the other hand, there seems to be a ton of repetition in the victory conversations so it's probably be good to switch anyway.
I juuuust switched to Japanese and loved their VA, but went back to English because of the battle cries like you mentioned.
This English VA's worse aspect is that their voice inflections don't match up at all with their body language. I'm typing this as Nia is stamping her fight and leaning forward as if yelling, but her voice is completely normal as if she were sitting in a chair talking normal.
It's really a shame because I like Pyra as a character a lot. But yeah it is hard to take her serious sometimes.
There's spoilers of endgame content in there. The characters section (through page 85) should be safe, though. If you start from the back, the weapons and misc. objects sections (after page 179) are safe. Locations have no spoilers after Chapter 7, which go back through page 134 from the back. The sections in between pages 85 and 134 should be avoided until you reach the end.
There are a few. I wouldn't look into it until you're at least past chapter 8.
The dumb stuff that doesn't go away (skill checks, dubious character designs) aside, it's pretty impressive how much better this game is once it hits its stride. Everything is awesome, makes me willing to forgive a lot of flaws.
Also, 5th + Herald, Rex + Mythra, GG every enemy in my path if you don't kill me before I get two orbs on you
The OST to this game is legitimately in the conversation for greatest game OST ever. It's a tremendous achievement.

No news yet.

yeah, im sure its a memory/ ram issue, after several hours of gameplay the game is prone to crash, specially on Skip Travel. so to avoid that, I save constantly to the point I made it a habit, ewvery time I complete something for a quest.. Save.
Every time I get a new location on the map..Save
Every time I will Skip Travel among Titans... Save
Every time I complete a nod on an Affinity Tree... Save

speaking of Artbook. I would totally buy a 2nd one with the design works of the Rare Blades
I've spent about 20 hours farming trying to get any more rare blades at all during Chapter 8 with no luck at all. It's starting to be really demoralizing. I hate the idea of having to push on to the end without getting any of the blades that I really wanted, nor the ones that are amazingly useful for farming (Adenine), but I may just have to do it because all the farming itself is making me hate the game. I'm missing 7 total including KOS-MOS.

There's definitely going to be a commercial artbook with hundreds of pages. There are a ton of designs not in the LE one.
A commercial artbook, in English? I would love this since I didn't get the LE artbook. Buying digitally was more important to me.
The bolded is definitely questionable. XB1 got a huge art/info book but it was never released in English.
in Japanese obviously... they still haven't released XC1/X artbook in English yet...
Nah. Not likely in English. But if the XBX artbook is anything to go by, it's going to be delicious. Hopefully that's more indicative than the XB1 artbook, which I didn't like much.
Hmm, I suppose I could get by with the pretty pictures. That is the main draw after all.
This game's art direction is so good. I've taken more than 4,000 screens at this point. O_O
(Tempted to start an open spoilers screenshot thread for this reason.)
Oh yes, this is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping XC2 gets an artbook and album release soon!
I think my Floren affinity glitched.
When I tried to talk to one of the skill check NPCs (Ashe in Torigoth), there's no trophy icon so the skill check won't trigger. I have Floren equipped, and I already checked and make sure that I talked to the previous NPC.

Check if you have accepted any quest from NPC, you will need to complete them first before trigger tbr trophy
OST is up there with Nier for me this year
Every Nintendo game this year has had an absolutely amazing ost, Arms and Splatoon are super interesting.
Mor Ardain is such a killer track

Nope, the only quests I have right now are the Nopon Doubloon quest, the Ursula merc quest, and the Agate quest. Pretty sure none of these quests have ties to this particular NPC.
This OST is one for the ages (like Nier: Automata's tbh). I think I like this one even better than that one though...
Sonic Mania and Persona 5 have great OSTs too, but not like this
Aggro up parts in poppiswap, core chips that give aggro up special effect, Nopon mask accessories or any accessory that amps up aggro draw.
As long as they let you bring over your blades I don't personally don't care about anything else, but fuck that rng bs
I imagine they will at least have rare blades carry over. Not sure what else they could do though
EDIT: Beaten
I think I found a sequence break by accident.
When I went to the bottom of tantal during my first playthrough, I must have taken the wrong route/not the route the game intended me to take. And when I reached the bottom floor, there were only lvl 80+ monsters there. I thought sneaking by was part of the challenge.
This time I took the correct path and everything is in the correct level range... booo
kinda... depends. Some characters are definitely more fun in japanese like Nia, Zeke and Pandoria for example.
on the other hand... I also felt like it was way funnier in other languages, like German. There's a lot of jokes that are neither in the japanese nor the english dub.

Things I feel they need for NG+ to make it appealing for people to even try it out for the new content:
- Carry over almost everything: especially blades, affinities, and anything that involves heavy grinding collection
- Double or triple rare blade chances on rolls
- Have some unique challenges for seasoned players
- Make us work for the stuff that's NG+ exclusive, but don't make replaying old content a chore
- Give everyone new outfits or a fashion slot. I don't even care if they SELL costumes as DLC.

Nah it's a weather thing, if you got there when it's foggy you get tons of higher level creatures
I'd like some unique challenges, every post game boss has been pretty face roll for me. But I think I've got a decent comp so who knows?
To add on, one thing I'd really like for them to do with NG+ is a chapter select feature. Don't know how possible that'll be though.
You need a fairly mid-late game accessory (auto-balancer) which will stop the deflections from their blocks.
I'd love for the whole party to carry over, so you can play with your endgame team from the start. And also for all of the enemies to level up so as to provide a challenge.
That AMAZING feel when you decide "Oh yeah. I think it's time to wear all the Luck gear and finally pop those 6 Legendary Cores and 38 Rare Cores burning a whole in my pocket" and get jack shit for it.
What an OUTSTANDING game decision that was.

But did you also have luck % blades on with luck weapons and maxed ideas? D: , this made a difference for me
Oh, I like this idea. It's be hard to implement given the story constraints though.
