I've died, but it's usually because a higher level enemy somehow joins the battle.
Otherwise, I agree, a lot of the battles feel long, not hard.

Really would just like a way to see how gear/items in stores compare to what I have equipped prior to purchase. Seems like such a basic RPG thing that's been around for generations, and yet it's not here.
BOTW-like autosaves in addition to the manual save slot would be appreciated as well.

why do I see a lot of people complaining about HP when I have to lurk for enemies that dont dies in 1 LVIII blade art?
I agree with a lot of your suggestions but especially these. The audio mixing is pretty awful. Random background noises and ambient music should not be overpowering the indicator that I did something good. You're messing with my Pavlovian responses over here.

Because apparently there are a lot of people who aren't very good at this game.
The Map. The goddamn map screen. It's confusing and unintutive. Quick Travel should also show your icon on the individual locals, in addition to what it has now (the Titan you're on, and then showing the area you're in on the map, but not on the name of the area). I think it'd also be nice to mark a location on the map and that makes a waypoint for you. It's especially frustrating navigating when the icon for the map is small and you're not sure if you're going in the right direction when you quick travel somewhere.
I'd like to see more Rare Cores added, and a Collection book you can add stuff to, maybe granting bonus XP or other rewards.

It would be convenient that quicktravel automatically selects the area or at least the titan you are at the moment, instead of having to navigate from Argentum to your desired location, when most of times i want to travel to another point in the same titan I am.
I thought it would be very good but i'm glad it even exceeded my expectations, a really great game and JRPG. This is what i would want from Square Enix too. (fantastic world, good story, good characters, good fighting system and the most beautifull jrpg towns in years, or ever)
Also agree with the qol updates and i think they will adress some of the problems.
What game are you playing and what level gap are you to where a level 3 blade art one shots an enemy? It also depends on their elemental weakness.
Everyone is saying that it shouldnt take as long as it does to fight an enemy thats on your level or slightly above.
but thats standard Xenoblade, hell X even had enemy Size into account so a lower level enemy of a big size could still kill you
Also I guess don't use NoE again for the localization. The writing and voice acting don't really fit the anime stylings. Also jesus does the voice acting sound bad. I laughed so hard when the voice actress for Mythra tried to toughen up her voice and that line of "ask her bye!!" sounded less like some goddness super weapon and some fly girl. I haven't laughed so hard at English va in a jrpg in so long.
im just at chapter 2, but there is a side quest that the reward is an item that increase teh auto gather area for item
You could at least use an example of bad localization if your gonna critique NoA. That line was great.
Stuff like not bringing over all the dlc or copypasting the Rhajat lesbian romance instead of translating the original.
that was the example of bad localization
Nope. Same basic context but adds some nice character to it. Looks fine to me.
Seriously the localization has some genuine issues. No need to make mountains out of molehills like this.
One idea I have to address the costumes issue is doing something similar to the blade upgrades. Instead of doing a complete head/torso/legs custimization (which if fun but often looks sloppy), do costumes that change the general aesthetic. Whether or not these are tied to any abilities, idk, but just an idea.
It could also work that it changes depending on your "class."
But yes please fix the darn map!!

Seeing as how Xenoblade Chronicles X didn't have a mess of localization, yes NoA with 8-4 would be a lot better.
My main complaints are a little too fanservicey, handheld could be better, and allow me to have a big easily accessible map. Right now I have to go to skip travel and jump around to see points outside a very small nearby window:

They show all of them because they stack. For example, if you need a level 3 lock picking, you can get by with three level 1 used in succession.
The game seems balanced around using driver/fusion combos on enemies. Trash mobs die very quickly if you set up your team for instant break/topple/launch/smash. Pouch items are also incredibly strong mainly for flat arts/special regeneration.
I think the main issue is that the tutorials are awful as they only mention most things once, the game really needed a manual like XCX.

Exploit enemy weaknesses, specifically making sure that the level 3 finisher is their weakness
Don't chain attack enemies at the start of battle because you'll lose the ability to revive.
Strengthen your Arts with WP.
Use SP to unlock the Rapid Attack ability ASAP for everyone and put their Driver Art move on A so you can immediately break, topple, launch an enemy at the start of battle
AOE is your friend.
Use pouch items to auto charge your Special and buy a lot of them so they instantly refill. Put Art auto charge items in the second pouch.
Use your common blades on merc missions when you unlock it; S ranked blades give valuable items to power you up further.
You have to look at the blade affinity chart to unlock the nodes.
Accessories have levels, so make sure you get the best ones. Same thing for Aux Cores.
Use your core chips. It makes a massive difference in auto attack.
Always cancel into your Arts and Specials. They get a damage boost when you do. If you cancel on the third auto attack, it restores three times the Special attack.
Always level up in the inn. In addition, always go exploring in a new area before you go back to the main quest so you'll have lots of bonus experience. And make sure to constantly run merc missions, because that's bonus exp too.
So basicly just play the game.....yeah none of this is hard to grasp.
I know they stack, but if I reach the required level with 2 blades (for example) i don't see the reason to show me the rest of blades that have the skill.

This is the best and directly to the point Advanced Combat tips I've seen online for the game. Cheers!
Huh, this was a B team? Kind of makes XBX that much worse to me.
I will try it thanks!
On the same topic, can you skip as well the phrases the blade say every time they activate some skill related to collecting materials?

It really needed the trail ball from X. I'm actively avoiding side quest because just figuring out where to go in this game is obnoxious. The compass just points in a direction but doesn't really take in account where the objective really is. Is it blocked off? Does it require a special way to get there? Do you have to go around.
I can't believe how much they fucked up this area of the game. It feels so poorly designed compared to the others.
It's honestly pretty hilarious. With the verticallty of the levels. Something that simply says "go in this direction" doesn't help.

Thanks a lot!
Well it's a minor issue, but hearing Byakko's phrase every time he activates Botany 2...it's a little bit tiring.
