So there's lots of Xenoblade threads running around. Time for an official thread for impressions game discussion etc.

Whether you're a lucky resident of Europe or Australia, a North American who's decided to flip the bird to Nintendo and import, or even someone who simply wants to live vicariously through the experiences of others, this is the place you want to be!

I'm getting the hang of it now...got a bunch of great stuff out of it (mostly Strength Up IIs based on what I had in my inventory to craft). I might should go back to Colony 9 and do it again. I need to wrap up some quests over there, so...yep.

Cool, cool. I spent a lot of time crafting gems to compensate for my er, carelessness when exploring. Cloaking and fall defense and stuff.

@r_hjort

Cloaking would have been useful when running into the spider's den to pick up a random quest item...four enemies, all level 75+. I eventually snuck through, but it took me forever.

I always had to have the speed-up gem on or whatever it's called, the normal running speed is sooooooo sloooooow. Even with the max gem speed, it still just felt like what the default speed should have been. I guess this is why they're adding mechs to the next game, though it would be nice if the running speed was higher too...

@Secret_Tunnel Aren't there at least three points? Though at least one is pretty minor.

@Mop it up

Agreed about the running speed, but I kind of dig the exploration and the encounters (unless a high-level unique spots me, then I run until I get out of its hair). Plus fast travel has saved me a lot of walking once I know where I'm going.

I'm glad the game's quests usually tell you where to find what you're looking for (or give you a very good idea where to find them). It's made questing a lot more bearable.

I beat two quests last night that had me fight several bosses that were on my level. I had to fight three Deified Queens on top of the Exile Fortress...fighting them one at a time was definitely the way to go.

So I'm mostly done questing for now. I guess I should actually work through the story, huh?

I finally started playing this game and damn can I ever understand why people love this game. The world is so big and beautiful. I'm currently in Satorl Marsh.

This game is like Spoiler Warning: The Game with all the visions

One of my favourite regions in the game! Came there in the daytime and got my mind blown when the sun set. The music alone would have been enough, but the whole transformation of the environment is pure magic!

@r_hjort

Same. I was like "oh great, a swamp". And then night fell and it basically sealed my love for the game.
05/13/15, 14:03   
@r_hjort

Yep, I would just sit there and take it in once night fell. Best area in the game for me thus far...but I've got a long way to go.

Xenoblade: Making swamps interesting since 2010?
05/13/15, 23:22   
I just got to the swamp on the 3DS version as well. This game is so massive that I might not even get around to X this year.

I was surprised that you don't even need to use Shulk in the party, although I don't know why you would not.
05/14/15, 05:16   
If anyone I know is playing Xenoblade, I always ask them how they reacted when they first got to the swamp and it turned night because of how amazing that first moment is, when dusk turns into night.
05/14/15, 05:22   
I think it was already night when I got there, but still it is a damn beautiful place.

As posted in the Epic Center thread, I just fired this up for the first time since APRIL 22nd, 2012. TOO LONG.

I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just mashing buttons in battle. Is there a refresher course somewhere? I have NO DESIRE to restart this game now. I'm 22 hours in; my current Story says I'm making my way along Maguel Road near Kasharpa Falls or something.

Little help?

@Mr_Mustache
Help with what? Battle or where to go? Sounds like you're on your way through Gaur Plains towards Colony 6.
05/16/15, 22:22   
@Mr_Mustache You can review the tutorials from the game menu.

@r_hjort

Actual gameplay. I think Mop has supplied adequate help. I'll let you guys know how it goes..

Good rules of thumb for armor stuff? I feel lost in the water. I just got some Quark Armor?

@Mr_Mustache

Pretty much use whatever the best stuff is that you have. At times you may want things like Spike Defense though. So change as needed.

I tried to have a balance of Defense and Power but you may prefer one over the other.
