Is Neilnail the best party member now?
Xenoblade X
heroics your tale
You're welcome
Famitsu: Please tell us about the concept behind the production and development of “Future Connected”.
Takahashi: I’m half-joking here, but there was a lingering feeling of pity towards Melia.
nintendoeverything.com
It’s because we felt bad for Melia… I’m only half-joking when I say that.
frontlinejp.net
“the “half” reason being because some thought Melia was pitiful.”
3 different translations/summaries of the same line from the Famitsu interview where Takahashi either pities Melia or calls her pitiful.
Neil being a Heroic Tale mule already makes her more useful than most of the non-Cross characters
There are so many problems with X, even in DE.
I don't really care because I can drive robots around on a big map. Simple as.
I would give money to more studios that would let me do this. But they are too busy focusing on trodging out fantasyslop or bingbong games.
Gameplay-wise? No, she's a bit of a mess in terms of her arts and skill set (though she's hardly alone in that respect). But other than that she's great.
She's not S-tier but she's my wife so ai used her until end game.
for what is fair this game does more things good than bad, for example:
amazing exploration during the three layers of the game(foot,skell and flying)
amazing world building with each race feeling unique in their own lore and quests
amazing voice acting in English, or at least until chapter 13
now for the bad…
messy inventory system that doesn’t give you enough options for all the messy drops you get.
skells feel underpowered compared to ground combat
UH UH YEAH!,UH UH YEEEEAAAAAH!!(although personally I don’t minded much)
Chapter 13
I just hope the just fix the inventory system for xeno x2
She looks like she fucks mimeosome men.
Obsessed
Your point?
The guy you're replying to is literally schizophrenic, just ignore him
Sexiest Xeno.
Based Meliabro.

are the milsaadis on mount m'gondo immune to heroic tale?
Finally made a skell to one-shot Telethia
Time to kill it 97 more times for the achievement
nevermind they just resist it quite a bit
try to fight dangerous enemy
initiate fight
hit assemble
after a while of fighting your skell explodes in one hit
ok whatever
start fighting on foot
suddenly theres like five things aggrod on you
get incredibly mad at your party member ai
I don’t see why people like the combat in this game
I'd suggest removing aoe arts. Of course that makes Frye completely useless, but what else is new.
if you want to have fun with skells build a melee one with a bunch of positional weapons
transforming into a car and drifting behind an enemy to cut them in half with a giant scythe makes me feel like I'm playing the high moon transformers games
Retard
My god palying with the xbox controler after the switch one feels soo heavy
did they patch the diskbomb exploit
Swing and a miss
what's the meaningful difference between a reflect build with sabers and a reflect build with shields?
can you reflect more than 4 elements at a time?
Reminder that we could’ve had the proper sequel to Xenoblade X we were all expecting, with a timeskip showing how we’ve colonized more of Mira, possibly with new settlements in each continent. We could’ve seen how Mira changed after a timeskip as humans got more used to the planet and began properly colonizing it, we could’ve had new extra continents discovered beyond the main 5; we could’ve had underwater exploration with Skells because the ocean was so huge. We might’ve even gotten the chance to leave Mira and visit different planets like the original scope of the game intended. And we could’ve actually continued the intended story to learn more about Mira and its mysteries
Instead they never did the sequel we wanted and the game itself teased even though Takahashi explicitly said that X was going to be the first game in a line and it was establishing the world and gameplay before they continue fleshing out the story in future installments; and we got Chapter 13 instead
I don't really understand augments can I just stack a billion +melee % damage up on my skell or is it like one of each kind? I'm in the post game grindan and have to pay attention to it now it seems.
She is up there due Heroic Tale potentially breaking Drop Pool thresholds, but i think that is ultimately more Farming QoL then actually fighting Tyrants/Bosses.
but how's it poppin'?
You can stack the same augments multiple times yes. Keep in mind the augments that start with CUSTOM only apply to to the weapon you put it on, but the others apply to everything. There's also ground augments to enhance your skell which shouldn't be overlooked, and skell wear armor comes with baked in traits for enhancing skells.
We didn’t even get an Al profile icon when every other party member got one and the hopes for a direct sequel to X are deader than Melia’s bloodline, so pretty terrible, how about you?
It depends from augment to augment, some are also multiplicative and some are additive also .
Like for example enemy type slaying Augs are better then you think provided you are willing to micromanage them, DE also specifically nerfed the costs of Augs so people would experiment more (and the deconstruct/refund mechanic is new here too IIRC, so you can actuallly bother making XV and not "waste" rare materials wen going for XX latter on.)
Obsessed
I do not care we're not getting Mira again, I already had my fill. I'd rather have an entirely new setting and chapter 13 was cool.
I'd rather have an entirely new setting
It's just going to be a crossover with 1/2/3, not a new setting
The last “entirely new” setting was Aionios and we saw how well that turned out, right?
It is painful, yeah. Personally I'm glad we even got some sort of closure at all, even though it's far from ideal. It sounds like Nintendo wouldn't greenlight an X2, with how long they've been wanting to make it, so they shoved what they could into a port for better or worse.
I'm hopeful the next setting is divorced enough from the rest of the series to feel fresh, since Takahashi said Xenoblade 4 will be the start of a new saga, and they're doing something very different for it.
chapter 13 was cool
Would you all prefer chapter 13 to connect X to the FC ending or the Xenogears world? I personally want it to stay in its own world and build a story around whatever the fuck the Ghosts are and delve deeper into Samaar.
it turned out well.
The diskbomb exploit that copied your left hand diskbomb ammo count to your right hand was fixed in DE. DE had a new bug that let you dupe skell weapons and upgrade them past their limits so you could get mag up XX, but that's patched in 1.02. Diskbombs with mag up still shoot out a shit load of diskbombs though since that was never a bug in the first place.
SEX WITH NEILNAIL!!!!
boost augs cap at 100%. Though for skells you can get boosts at 100% on the skell and then a 100% boost on your skellwear too.
It turned out awful.
What was the point of the Qlurians? They just dropped 2 of them into the planet, gave Neilnail a bunch of lines to hype her race up, then that's it?
Kys
XC4 will take place on Qlu
So, I just beat Chapter 12 and during the credit scene, I noticed that Irina have two voice actress. Did something happen for that? I know Lao's original VA died.
How do you keep your skell alive? I'm doing ok damage with my lv50 but as soon as something skell sized or bigger goes through my evasion it most likely goes down. Also is it worth it getting a skell for my whole team? I feel mine only started being worthwhile after a long time grinding augments so I'm not too enthusiastic about doing again 3 more times
JP voices? No idea
In the dub Vandham is the only one that got recast
*Irina japanese VA*
Sorry, messed that up
FINALLY found the whore for mechnical skill
God damn do they hide that cunt.
It's Yelena the sequestered. east of janpath lake by a horde of scripios.
AI controlled characters aren't taking advantage of their full kit. If you put them in skells there's nothing to take advantage of, they just have to mash their arts. Assuming you've done 0 or low investments on your skells/characters, skells will outdamage on ground while being more tanky.

All female characters in my party are forbidden from wearing clothing
It turned out
Anyone recall what quest give mastema60 bp?
nice
Kill yourself.
I dress all of them modestly except for Elma and Mia. Elma because I can't help wanting to see more of her skin which seems to be OK with her given her real outfit. Mia because I like to imagine the bunny suit is a hazing ritual.
There's no blue prints for the level 60 skells. You just have to beat chapter 12.
bland landscape that reuses landmarks from older games with none of the context that makes them interesting
entirely new
the problem was that it WASN'T new
ah. well. fuck. I might just hurry and do that then.
there's no lv60 skell weapons besides the supers right?
like you can't go kill shit to farm lv60 pheonix or such?
tfw level 67 and just beat chapter 9
should I be rushing the story
The final continent that they advertised was a fucking trainwreck. It was the exact opposite of what I expected. What a terrible system. I expected so much more than what that was.
Meds
No, enjoy the ground while you can. Once you get flying skells everything changes and the world becomes a straight line to your objectives
I can't stand you fucking people anymore.
Then fuck off already retard.
Didn't ask and don't care
Why?
We don't pop for you anymore?
Don't worry 'bout the future, it's alright
Kill yourself.
Meds
You can always go back to r*ddit where you belong
Schizo
I already played for nearly 180 hours before getting the flying skells, I just don't like that now my level 50 ones are getting outpaced again and hearing I have to beat chapter 12 to get anything stronger is kind of gay
I'm capable of deliberately getting out and going on foot still even though i have flight and I've been using the hsvlekekdnfnng whatever the fuck it's called because flying that around with the locked camera is a lot more interesting and fun than the normal flight even though that's fun too
