I'm almost done! Is the post game something you all continue playing? How is it?
The Vess quest isn't that great.I'm toying with it. I've been experimenting with my party, taking on UMs, cleaning up some heart to hearts and having a good time.
HOWEVER!
After hearing people talk fondly about the rare Blade quests I started one tonight and well... I can't say I loved it.
It was the Vess quest in Gormott. To those in the know, did I just stumble on a pretty naff one or is this the norm?
Like, I didn't hate it, but it felt like busy work... I got pretty close to the end of it and just gave up.
So I'm not sure if this is right or not but I'm in the middle of Chapter 4 with the in game clock around 50 hours, but the Switch system only says "over 25 hours."
Is that typical for Chapter 4? How long is this game??
Game clock is probably wrong, it's bugged and sometimes counts in sleep mode.
I just did the Vess quest last night. The narrative element of it is very sweet and touching. But boy they have you running all over the place, lol.
I like that Vess herself looks like '80s anime, though. It's a bit jarring but I appreciate that they represented that style.
Any UM that you drop of a ledge they die and the game gives you the kill, knock + topple UM birds is funLmao a unique was in the way in the walk way out of Fonsett. I went for him and was getting him down to half health, and then I knocked him off. The game gave me the win and Zenobia's ability :)
#4 and #5 clothing Swap please
YES
Pyra personallity is intended to be passive/ mellow, you later meet people with strongers personalitiesJust finished Chapter 1 and I have a question. Is this game kind of awesome or is it just me? If I had a minor MINOR request it would be that Pyra was a bit more tough. She sometimes can be a little...helpless? That's way too strong of a descriptor for her....Maybe it bugs me more that Rex is so aggressive and "I'll protect you!" in scenes, and that should be Pyra for me.
Not even close but is fun to explore, specially if you take into account all the verticallityGod damn.Tanal is massive. It's the closest to X's continent sizes so ar.
That's really what I meant. Getting to the ground level and looking around and where you just came down from reminded me of something like the verticality of Sylvalum.Not even close but is fun to explore, specially if you take into account all the verticallity
-too convolutedjust got approved to ERA so i thought i'd drop by here since i have been following this OT for a while.
I finished the game mid december but wanted to offer a few thoughts.
Have a few more thoughts that i might drop into the spoiler thread at some point
- It took me about 110 hours to finish the game with a fair few side quests. i never usually stick with games that long so its fair to say i liked XC2 quite a bit.
- XC2 was both occasionally incredibly brilliant and incredibly frustrating, overall it was probably more frustrating then good but with 110 total hours that still equates to a whole lot of good
- The simplified battle system was great, it felt like an Arkham take on a JRPG ATB system once it gets going. I hope it gets reused/copied by future games
- The writing had its moments but was ultimately too convoluted. There is an amazing X men inspired story inside XC2 that never realizes its full potential
- The opening chapter especially does a great job evoking a Jurassic Park meets Jules Vern tone combined with the whimsy of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
- When the game started to set up the Malos v Mythra conflict i started audibly cheering in hope that XC2 was going to pay off on some of the promise of the FF Versus 13 trailer with a twist. In some ways XC2 does pay off on those themes/Idea's but never completely
- Rex is the worst, especially with all the foreshadowing and Arthurian mythos that is needlessly surrounding his character and never paid off on.
- Party members 2 and 5 are the best especially 5. anytime you manage to condense/combine what makes both Flynn Ryder (Tangled) and Goro Majima (Yakuza) beloved characters you have done a great job
- Party member 4 was the true hero of my play through. I had them set up as an agility tank from fairly early on and with the right augments the basically Solo'd chapters 6-8 including some of the most difficult boss fights in the game
Aegeon uses the water element.According to mine i've played for over 150 hours. I'll have to compare it to the Switch's clock to see what's real.
The World Tree has been very annoying. Enemies with oodles of reinforcements, awful enemy gangs, those motorcycle guys who keep toppling you. Ugh. Plus that noise that sounds like a ringing in your ears that plays in the region in lieu of music.
I'll be glad to put this one behind me.
Trying to bond Boreas, Adenine, or Dahlia to Nia. That's the next target. What element is Aegeon?

Ardainian Soldier is the best character ever, I hope he's an assist trophy in Smash SwitchHoly moly. I just noticed the OT title. I JUST got past those guys last night. I went back and forth between being annoyed as shit to laughing out loud to being annoyed as shit.
Normally yes, you need to be on the level the nod of the side quest is forHow do you start Finch's sidequest? The affinity chart says it starts in Goldmouth Wheelhouse but no quest markers there. Do I need to get to affinity level 5?
