No. There are three Attack, three Tank and one Healer NG+ Blades. I myself got all the attack ones in a row which was kind of funny.

Ahh this poppibuster quest annoys me, I guess it's time to farm common core crystals. Is there a good way to farm crystals?
I'm in chapter 8
I'm in chapter 8
Gold chips + unique monsters + Break/Topple/Launch/Smash = lots of cores. Vampire Bride Marion in Uraya is a good option.
So I'm almost done. just started chapter 10.
I might have been missing something regarding getting Herald but from my understanding due to a skillcheck in chapter 9 that requires 5 Electric Mastery, you can't complete the game without gatcha.
So thats good to know.
I'd like to fill out my main parties affinity charts so how do you get the 3000 trust drink and is it availiable if you are on 1.4.1 but don't have the DLC?
thanks

I've been on a bit of an odyssey in Alrest in recent days. I don't usually dabble in side quests, but the recent addition of the love source potion seemed too good to pass up.
So I pick the quest, head to Tantal and get the flutterheart grass, only to find I need to get a handful of other ingredients to create the potion.
And of course the game doesn't tell you where they are. lol
I didn't have one or two of them, so couldn't even look on my item list to see where they were.
So I embarked on a multi-hour globe-trotting adventure visiting every collection point in the game.
Thankfully I managed to get everything I needed (and now have way more than I need) but during this quest I had the joy of discovering a few new areas and unique monsters.
It was awesome to discover new stuff 200+ hours in. It really made me appreciate the level design and how much is jam-packed into such small spaces.
Discovering a few new areas in Argentum was particularly cool.
I also completed Pyra's affinity chat. I looked at the easiest meal to make, tallied up how much I would need to create 50 meals and spent a couple of hours collecting what I needed...
... only to find out that once her cooking skill levels up to level two, she starts making two meals from the same ingredients. In short I'd spent ages collecting almost double the number of things I needed.
This game. lol

Finally got around to getting Poppi QT Pi at the tail end of last week. I think I'm in love - she's so good.
You mean both at the same time? I thought they were planned as 2 seperate releases.
Challenge mode only, story won't be coming soon, most likely end of this year.
I'm fully prepared for disappointment, that is, XC2 doesn't show up at all.
I've gone from thinking Rex and Pyra are going to be in Smash, story DLC will be shown and more a few months ago, to fearing we won't get get anything. lol
Believe.
We're all in this together, gang. We're going in. We're getting DLC. We're getting smash reps. See you on the other side :']
Challenge mode, extreme difficulty and a bunch of stuff are supposed to be coming this or next month.
Yea, my personal favorite is XC2 for sure, but all of them are doing different thing while delivering similar top notch quality, so I kinda love them all equally.
But XC2 has Nia and Poppi so it's the best.
Same, I can't really rank the games, I love all 3 on different points and sometimes my appreciation is tied up with my mood.
I really love some XC2 characters way more than the 2 others, and I'm still missing XCX's exploration/lore/visuals. And I still love XC1 story/world concept/party system.
I plan to buy Torna stand alone in physical edition but the meaty content on Friday is playing with my nerves. September is soooo far. :'(
I guess I'll have to bait my husband with this content to buy both, hehe (he's only interested in Torna stand alone so 1 copy is enough for both of us).

Hey guys, I got my Switch last week and put seven hours into Xeno 2. I'm right in front of the first city of the game, I'll go inside later today. So, early impressions here, I'm sure I'll change my mind about a few things as I play.
I'm a big fan of Xeno 1, but I'm an even bigger fan of Xeno X. I'm enjoying the game, but the beginning is a bit too linear for me. It looks like I'm right at the point where the game will open up a bit, so I'm optimistic, but I'm still a bit worried that I'll miss the freedom Xeno X gave me. Also, the map is confusing as hell, but I was probably spoiled by the Xeno X map on the Wii U gamepad.
I'm surprised by how much I like the characters. The anime style was a bit of a turn off for me when the game was announced, but Rex, Pyra and Nia look like an enjoyable crew (for some reason I really like Bana too ^_^). Story looks interesting, and it will probably get very confusing soon. Being a Xenogears fan, that's totally fine by me.
Technically, the game is a mixed bag. I'm not exactly a graphics whore and I have a hard time telling a 960p image from a 1080p one, but looking at my relatively small 32 inch TV, I can easily tell the game is kind of low-res (I imagine that's 720p, but I don't really know). Also, the image looks a bit weird at times, maybe some antialising thing. Art style is great as usual when it comes to Monolith, but honestly, I think the game looks a bit ugly because of the resolution :(
As soon as I got to the Gormott Plains, I got into a fight with four monsters at the same time and the frame rate just went to hell. I've seen a few people saying the frame rate dips were barely noticeable, but it sure looks like they are, considering I've barely started my journey.
Thankfully, music is really, really good, and I'm glad Monolith included many volume level sliders this time. I'm not annoyed by the battle voices as many are, but it's great that you can now just mute them.
And that's my early impressions. It might look like I hate the game, but I love Monolith and everything they do, so I am having a lot of fun with it. I'm just a bit disappointed about the technical aspects.

Just replying to a few random points.
If framerate is getting worse, restart the game, rest mode for too long affects it.
Exploration won't be as good as XCX for sure, a lot of stuff, even the main story requires you to really find your way with some hidden path to navigate.
Visual/framerate issue mostly happen in the first titan only, the later parts will be much better.
I didn't see you talking about battle system, but if you felt that the battle system is slow, don't worry, also pay attention to the tutorial, you will most likely not understand most of them so if you need a reference, use this thread https://www.resetera.com/threads/xenoblade-2-blade-chain-driver-combo-advanced-battle-guide.9206/
Battle gets crazy good later on, I swear. It's a completely different game after you get to use arts back to back with a full party of blades and they recharge quicker as you progress through skill tree.
Good to know, thanks!
Not really a problem for me. Having played the other Xeno games, I know combat opens up later. This is actually for the best for me, because I'm a slow learner and I'm easily overwhelmed by games that throw everything at me at once. Now you're probably wondering, "how the hell did he get through Xeno X?" Well, I REALLY liked that game ^_^
Good! I'm already a bit lost regarding the blade combo system ^_^ Thanks!
Only thing I want to stress is, learn about cancel attack.
And watch out for the most important affinity skill you want to acquire ASAP.
Different name for different character, but description should be the same.
I checked the small video in that thread showing how Blade Combos work and it helped A LOT! Thanks!
I just took a 15 minute break from work, turned on my Switch and did a Blade Combo pretty easily. It feels so good! Combat is always great in Monolith games, even going way back to Xenogears.
I'll take a look, thanks!
I've just started the game, but using previous Xeno games as a comparison, I would say you can't interact with the environment as much as in Zelda, but you'll have many beautiful hidden places to discover. One thing I really like about the worlds in Xenoblade games is how the enemies are a big part of the environment. Sometimes, you go inside a beautiful cave and, deep down, you find this huge and awesome beast. I would argue that in Xeno games you're not only discovering places, you're also discovering beasts. It's freaking amazing and fills me with joy, so I don't really care about the lack of interaction.
Also, as I've said, combat is very good. It's fun and gets increasingly complex, so you feel like you're becoming stronger.
Tonight? Well, guess I should power through to the ending of my ng+ so I can ng+ it
Lots of secrets to find. Sidequests are Affinity missions (similar in structure to Mass Effect 2 and 3) where each party member has quests you can do to get to know them better and level up their skills
World Design is great Monolith helped on Zelda BotW and are probably the reason the world design was as good as it is. they are masters of it.
eh could it auto download?
how do you NG+ this? I don't want to start my 3rd NG+ been doing that too much
You get to the end and then the load screen will give you the option for a ng+
yeah I am on my second run but you have to do every quest again
I am already at the door on my second run but not going to do this a 3rd time so hope it is not required to open this DLC lol
Oh I doubt that. There's just a hard mode coming and I want to ng+ that since ng+ on normal is too easy
Sadly I still can't find any info about it.
Update is out. It added 3 new settings in the Game options:
Auto-battle (Fight automatically)
Automatic Special Button Challenges (Automatic success for button challenge inputs)
Enemy Aggression (except for salvage, unique, boss, and quest foes)
No new difficulty options. Auto battle mode is weird and works really well. Might be useful for mindless grinding
