DragonFlames Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Got lucky again! Xenoblade 2, if you want me to like you, you're doing a good job. On another note, I don't know what to do with all the money I made through that little exploit @Armagon told me about. If only real life was like that, too.

I bought the Core Crystal from Torigoth and I still have enough Gold left to hypothetically buy it again. Twice. Good old Scrooge McDuck.

I don't remember Finch being that stellar, though. Sadly, money isn't that useful at the point your getting to, but I guess it's a nice to collect?

I'm mostly using him for Merc Group missions at the moment. Him being a Defense type, he doesn't exactly fit in with what I'm currently using too well (only Attack type Blades on Rex and only Healer type Blades on Nia). And Tora can't have anyone but Poppi. But I'm still glad I got him. It makes me hopeful that I get more, perhaps more useful, Rare Blades in the future, too. 3 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Sadly, money isn't that useful at the point your getting to, but I guess it's a nice to collect? Well, I could always use it to get more Cylinders for salvaging, if a quest asks me to do so in the future; or to buy more of those items that only last a limited amount of time (bag items, I think they were called). Or if there are more buyable Core Crystals in the future, I could get those pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I wouldn't underestimate the defensive blades, they are much better than they seem. Pouch items, I think they are? Those are useful for raising affinity with you blades to max them out for sure, so I guess money is useful for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I have decided to make every character have one specific role (basically, a pretend-job system), so I haven't given them any Blades that don't fit the role I want them to have (which is determined by what Blade they started with, hence Rex as mainly an Attacker and Nia as a Healer). 2 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Pouch items, I think they are?

They're called "Taschenitems" in the German version, which translates to "bag items" or "pouch items" in English, so I wasn't sure what they were called in the English version of the game.

I thought you had to deposit money with the guy from the beginning of the game who sends it to Rex' hometown (I now realize I forgot that existed for a while). Thanks! I would have left every last coin with the guy only to then wonder why it didn't do anything. Edited March 7, 2020 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered giving them different Blades with different types, but then I realized that if Nia switched hers out in battle (which she does frequently, I noticed), she wouldn't have her healing skills anymore, so I decided against it. I also have an easier time keeping track of everything if I know "okay, this guy has this role and this guy has this role". It'll make selecting Blades to give to people easier later down the line, too. 2 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: It's always interesting to learn about different languages That it is indeed!

I made it a habit not to rely on computer controlled allies in Xenoblade games, they aren't very... reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made it a habit not to rely on computer controlled allies in Xenoblade games, they aren't very... reliable. For now, the AI does pull its weight pretty well and you do have at least a little control over what your allies are doing. If it starts to get really bad, I'll probably just play as Nia (or whoever I'm using as a healer at that point) myself, because if there is one thing I want out of a JRPG if I can get it, it's a reliable way to heal. Though I doubt the AI will ever get to be Dynasty Warriors levels of awful. At least I hope it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, once you get Boreas, you unlock his Affinity Tiers through the same way except instead of depositing money, you deposit various foods. Anyways, in regards to your Blade setups, I recommend holding off on summoning until the last two party members join (by the end of Ch.5, you'll have everyone). Not that you won't have enough Blades for them but you did mention how you don't really have any uses for Tank Blades yet and given that Overdrive Protocols are limited, I'd say wait. 10 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: I made it a habit not to rely on computer controlled allies in Xenoblade games, they aren't very... reliable. *Shudders in AI-controlled Melia* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity: Around how many Overdrive Protocols are there? I have two and the menu shows me a maximum of 99, though I doubt there are actually 99 of the things. 47 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: It arrived :D Hype levels increasing!

I have two and the menu shows me a maximum of 99, though I doubt there are actually 99 of the things. There are three you can find in chests and the like. In addition, you get one Overdrive Protocol for every Driver Affinity Chart you complete. So that's five more. And then if you buy the Season Pass, you get three more. Now the thing is, it is possible to get 99 Overdrive Protocols but Overdrive Protocols are like fossil fuels. Technically there can be more once the supply runs out, it just takes a while. To get more Overdrive Protocols beyond the methods I mentioned, you need to have a four-star Common Blade, max out their Affinity Chart, and release it. But four-star Common Blades are pretty hard to come by and their Affinity Charts take a while to fill out so farming Overdrive Protocols isn't viable. Of course, in the end, it doesn't really matter which Blade goes with which Driver but if you're looking to keep everyone in their respective roles, you might end up using some Overdrive Protocols. But still, you still have plenty of Rare Blades left to unlock so I wouldn't be worrying about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename Shrimp Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 >First Battle >Crosswind Seriously? Wow. Putting a Boss tier theme as a normal battle theme.

Armagon Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Sometimes i wish beta Pyra was the final design. I mean, i suppose there's the argument to be had that it would've looked too much like Mythra but still, i like it. That sword is original btw, i don't recall seeing it in any concept art.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I love Ryza. I mean not only the character, but also the game. Collecting stuff and synthesizing is so much fun. Also the battle system is very fun......just needed some time to get used to it. For some reasons this gives me CSIII vibes. Sounds really like a Falcom theme.

Codename Shrimp Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) So, is Mr. Dragon our token shota dragon? Also, i feel like an idiot, but... How do i equip bombs & consumables? I created 3 bombs, however the option to equip them (Tools) is blocked? And will i get the ability later to view a Map of the area/dungeon i am in?
