Xenoblade Chronicles appreciation thread

[Jibril]

everyone should hunt down a copy of this game after you buy your wii u for mario kart and zelda

i guess monolith decided to troll everyone by making the best jrpg in the last 15 years. i still can't get over the irony. sequel looks incredible

That fight is indeed a bitch, but just like with the spider, your tactics are a bit more important than your levels. Finding ways to break the future somehow

Just got to colony 6. Darn Juju

I am wondering if I did something wrong because apparently Fiora is supposed to be a playable character and she died

I will continue posting my progress because I hope it encourages discussion and I can talk to people about it Hope that isn't annoying

[Vyk]

She (SPOILER)WAS a playable character :P

You didn't do anything wrong.

Did you do all the quests on Bionis' Leg before getting to Colony 6? If I remember correctly, there are a bunch there that expire once you progress.

[Pumpkin]

I did a few of them but not all of them, I don't think

[Pumpkin]

I just got to Makna(?) Forest and I'm crossing the bridge and I just have to say that looking over at the waterfalls is absolutely beautiful

[jodymcdougle]

I'm a pretty big wii fan! in fact, I'm one of the only people who own a WiiU that I know of. I really want to play this game! but why is it so expensive???

[Wolf Kanno]

It had a limited run in the US because of Gamestop and Nintendo. Not to mention since it came at the end of the Wii's lifecycle I don't think either of them thought it would be a smash hit like it was.

shion: Have you jumped off the bridge and swam to the waterfall yet?

[Pumpkin]

Not yet. I just got mage girl, super excited

Is she a good character to use as my main character? Will Shulk automatically use his ability that let's everyone attack Mechon if I run in to them?

You shouldn't actually be running into any Mechon for the time being so its safe to switch to Melia, in fact she is a better character in the players hand anyway. She works on the principle of Buffing your party but then said buffs can be used to launch damaging spells so she's kind all about balancing buffs with offense. Her and Riki I feel are the two characters that are the most fun to play as except maybe Seven and Dunban once you get their higher skills and better builds.

[Pumpkin]

Well that's exciting

So I should switch to Shulk though when facing Mechon? Also, what's a good level to be at for the next part of the game?

[Wolf Kanno]

Shulk will use the Monado ability though he's not as good about it as the player might be. Luckily, you are not far off from the point where the game will start giving you weapons that can hurt the Mechon naturally without the aid of the Monado though you still have a ways to go for that point.

Level-wise, I always try to be around the same level as the enemies in the area. In truth I never bothered looking at levels unless I was trying to hunt some nasty monsters in a sidequest. There are a ton of little side missions and locations to discover in here that you won't have to really worry about levels until you reach the Bionis head.

[Pumpkin]

Alrighty, thanks!

I'm going around doing quests with Melia and she is just precious This makes me happy because I always pick a character before I start a game that I want to be 'my character' and sometimes I've been disappoint in the past (Aeris ) so I'm glad I like her so far

[Wolf Kanno]

You'll really appreciate her during the next area cause you have to deal with her past and backstory for the most part. She's a pretty important character in the game.
