Totally forgot about fact haha. You would not have access to all your blades until everyone joins you. 6 minutes ago, Lightchao42 said: There's also another complicating factor (Chapter 8 spoilers) Which would require more Overdrives.

Valkyria Chronicles has a similar system. Any character that dies leaves behind a memento in their will, which provides some bonuses i think. Of course, with the the three turn grace period, you would have to fuck up incredibly hard for you to actually lose anyone.....or just not rescue anyone on purpose. If anyone can get VC units killed, it's Benice. 1 hour ago, Shrimperor said: So Xenobros i have a small XB2 challenge for you that's only possible in NG+ One i might do myself a few months down the line Put all the blades you have in a radomizer and let it randomize 3 for each party member. For Tora you randomize Poppi's roles and elements. Could be a fun run, i imagine Problem: Overdrive protocols might be troublesome. Can you redeem DLC stuff again in NG+? It does sound like an interesting run although it would be complicated for reasons already stated. I take it you'll try to pull every Blade in the game before attempting something like this though? Just to maximize odds and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, is there no postgame super hard dungeon RPGs like to add every so often? Quote lmao Edited February 17, 2021 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Gotta "love" the five support levels limit. So bothersome. Specially since you can't have stuff that shouldn't be exclusive to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't find a favourite setup yet, but i did share my final party when i finished the game On 2/7/2021 at 4:25 AM, Shrimperor said: Before i post my full thoughts, here's my Final Party and the Blades i got Spoiler Here are my observations of my own Party: Rex: The only purpose of Dhalia really is her multi orb strike, she's hella useful because of that and maybe heal specials. Dunno who to replace her with, thinking maybe Vess, but that just seems like the inferior option Roc i only Smash with him lol Tbf with Rex i mostly stick to Mythra and just spam Arts xD Spoiler Blade Nia is also really fun to play with Nia: Dromach is kinda meh, but combined with Nim makes for a good asssaving blade. Nim is good for healing specials, but maybe someone else can do a better job Crosette is good. Tora: Poppi is hella fun to play with, especially QT3.14 Morag: evasion for days Honestly, tankers are usually my least fav. types to play with in XB, from what i noticed during playing XB1, 2 + their DLCs. I'd rather let the AI do that and draw aggro and stuff Zekenator: I am actually pretty content with him. With the blades i have on him i can almost do a full driver combo, and i can retreat and strike from range with Azami if i need be. Maybe one thing i am not completely happy with is that his elements make blade combos hard lol Honestly it's pretty hard to change a party once you stick with one lol Edited February 17, 2021 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be difficult to lose someone -if the bad guys actually bothered to step next to your dying comrades, that'd permanently get rid of them before the three turns are up remember. Sure permadeath is highly unlikely to happen, and the penalty is less hefty than in FE because of generic replacement units existing and the group-leveling system of VC. But permadeath is still permanent, and generics and lesser named & faced characters are still inherently somewhat weaker than those you'll be losing. Permadeath is enough of a means of discouraging players from blindly running into gunfire and getting thwacked again and again until they win, most of the time that is. 35 minutes ago, Armagon said: Tbh, kinda hard to fit in a difficult post-game area when already existing areas have endgame sections. This is true, particularly that hitherto sealed off section of Tephra Caves, that was an interesting idea. Maybe they could run with that again, except, while the blocked section of Tephra was pretty ordinary, maybe it could turn out there was some hidden spoilers-themed section in an earlier area? I'd also think it's a matter of resources. Xenoblade makes each area visually pleasing with at least a minor dose of creativity (other than caves perhaps). A bonus area is going to need that same kind of inspiration and effort, is it worth for an "optional" postgame place not all players may even bother seeing? Thirdly, Xenoblade doesn't do "dungeons" well. The High Entia Tomb, Galahad Fortress, the Ardainian Battleship, the Abandoned Warehouse, the more "dungeony" areas have been among the weaker ones. I don't think "linear, with the facade of open world" as in XC1&2 when I think of postgame areas, I think purely linear and long ordeals of strong enemies and maybe some puzzles.
