Oh, gently caress you guys for talking me into buying what is probably the most engaging game I've ever played. Soon, the lawn will be overgrown, all our fish will be dead, and the sheriff will come by to take custody of our emaciated pets

gently caress, Seven (set up for speed/agility) and Riki will hold their own against hordes of enemies no matter who your third is. They're absolutely devastating when paired--moreso when Seven's got the fast armor set-up.

Guess it ain't party-time until your tank has occasional giggle-fits and the guy bringing up the rear is a muppet. Think I'll throw Dunban in the middle because "BORN IN A WORLD OF STRIFE!" never ceases to amaze.

At lvl 65, where are some respawning enemies I can use to get my party members' affinities up? Melia is a frostybox.

Chronojam posted:That's how I see it. Here's this big British robot yelling incoherently at you, and it is going to kick the poo poo out of you if you aren't actually ready. Makes it more imposing. Yes! The lead-up to the battle and the battle itself were done amazingly well. Just finished the late-game plotdump. Everyone's outfits are so ridiculous--it made the cutscenes kind of silly. Shulk looks halfway normal, but Riki looks like a tiny stuffed tiger, Dunban's bare-chested and sporting the world's stupidest-looking helmet, Reyn hasn't had a shirt on in ages, Sharla apparently stops dressing herself after she gets her bra on, and Melia looks like a Final Fantasy cosplayer. As if that wasn't bad enough, Seven's getup would make Sharla blush.

Thundarr posted:You'll know you are there when a character explicitly tells you that you are at the point of no return and gives you a yes/no choice. You have a little ways to go yet. And by "explicitly" Thundarr means "loving explicitly." There is no way in hell you'll miss it. The wife and I arrived at the final boss last night. I think my two favorite parts so far (aside from "rikisneaky") are the deaths of Mumkhar and Dickson. Mumkhar's final line is just great--"NOT LIKE THIIIIIS!" And Dickson's "I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction of seeing me die..." is perfect. The voice acting is top-notch. Any helpful hints about the final boss? The party is level 78ish, and I'm rolling with Shulk, Riki, and Reyn. Can't seem to take it down.

Thanks for the final boss tips. And yes, I did notice the "b" button mechanic. Missing those because you're having some water or something sucks  This is kind of a long shot, but does anyone have a decent image of the greek star chart-looking "doodles" from the game? Like the ones surrounding the health bar window shown in this image? I'd like something a bit sharper for a project I'm working on.

It's sold from a Nopon merchant that moves in one you max out Colony 6's Commerce. If I could reach through the Internet and hug you goddamnit I would. Thank you for your contribution to Clothes for Hoes. edit: Just got the last items necessary for this--Riki congratulated himself after the last fight (against some fish in shallow water) despite the fact that all he did the whole time was tread water because his little legs couldn't touch the bottom. It's okay, buddy. Sidekicks do real good

There isn't some secret level 6 that I need to achieve before I can find him? It's driving me nuts! Last night, I spent an hour running around this busted-rear end colony, and while everyone was happy to sell me things I already have, I can't find this one dude. Do I need to have recruited him first, from some other place, maybe?

Drawde posted:Ok, I know I'm late to the game, but I have some questions after beating the game: Vengeance. Also, the chance to preserve her race. It killed me that Reyn ended up being Sharla's "silver medal." I was hoping that Melia and Reyn--hoity-toity noble and brutish, unrefined farmhand--would end up together. It would've been a perfect match. Sharla's so hung up on her old flame that when she falls in battle, she mutters his name. Poor Reyn.  Also, Spiritus Nox, go rebuild Colony 6. It's satisfying as all hell. Remember that as you progress down that path, more and more named characters may want to move in, so either consult a guide, or just talk to people. I would actually suggest the latter as characters make it pretty obvious that they want to move when the time comes (for instance, an oddly-named nopon at Frontier Village is loving sick of people making fun of her name, so if your Housing and Nature levels are 3 or higher, she might want to move to a place where people don't mock her incessantly). As the community develops, you'll find that the new residents have their own problems that the team can help with, allowing you to raise that area's affinity. Plus, it's just neat to watch a prosperous town rise up from the rubble

This is among the more embarrassing posts I've ever written, but I feel the need to come clean and admit that we're in NG+ with a 200+ hours in and just figured out that Melia's elementals could be launched at the enemy by using her talent gauge  edit: TIP FOR NEW GAME+ There's a pretty big endgame event that occurs, after which you get one last chance to grab some pretty hard-to-get endgame collectibles/items. If you're going to play NG+, since you can take some of it with you, take the time to hoard some of this stuff (especially "Ocean Elixir of Life" if you want to be able to change Seven's outfit to something reasonable before the endgame the next time through).

Not an Owl posted:I'm level 68-69 at Agniratha and holy hell is Gadolt kicking my rear end. I've tried like a million different teams and I just can't figure out what to do Roll with Riki, Sharla, and Shulk, with Shulk as the lead, so you can cast Monado Armor to deal with that loving laser attack, and Enchant, if you need it. Riki and Sharla should be able to keep up with the healing if their arts are set up correctly. At that level, the fight will be challenging, but it's definitely doable. If that party doesn't work, consider swapping out Riki for Dundun or Reyn and try again. Also, save your chain attacks for when the Monado says he's gonna put the hurt on you--I think he can be dazed, which cancels whatever he's planning.

Violently Car posted:I've heard that he is easier if Sharla is in your party. I can see him being pretty difficult if that's the case and you don't use her (I did use her, so I can't say for sure). I didn't notice a difference. I've read in a couple different places that it supposedly makes her harder to hit or something, but I don't believe it (especially considering that his memories were completely obliterated in light of Fiora's "treachery" when she became a Face Unit. Gadolt would have no idea who Sharla was after Egil got done with him, right?).

Nathilus posted:It's mentioned in that very fight that it's not possible to completely obliterate a person's memories. Something about a 'heart' being different than but somewhat analogous to memory. In other words, The Flesh Remembers. Egil views people as beep boop machines rather than a complex web of thought, physicality, and emotion; which is a mistake and one reason for his downfall. Ah, I must've missed that the first time through (you're talking to the guy who didn't know Melia could discharge her elementals until NG+, here). Well, just because I didn't notice a difference doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't one, I suppose. I just assumed that after Egil figured out that the faces could retain memories, he took extra care to wipe their minds. If some part of Gadolt remembered Tits, it's pretty tragic--the team isn't just killing some re-purposed husk of a homs, then. I'd imagine that having to kill the love of your life is something you never quite get over. Poor Reyn. So, I'm in NG+ at level 82 or so. I've just gotten to a certain hidden village, and my affinities with everywhere but the new place are all three stars (Colony 9 is at four). I'm having trouble finding more quests to complete. I've seen mention of a spreadsheet a couple times in this thread. Does it happen to include a full quest list? If so, where can I find it?

Last Celebration posted:One of the Heart-to-hearts actually does come right out and say that it is just an abandoned High Entia ship making a delivery that crashed somehow. Thanks for answering this. Coincidentally, I was just about to ask the same thing--also, isn't it a bit weird to have escape pods on a ship that is just delivering poo poo?  My favorite unique "the battle's over" dialog so far is: Reyn: "You can't have a rainbow without Reyn, baby!" Melia: "...Dunban, I think you should have a talk with Reyn." Dunban: "No. Let's just pretend it didn't happen." Cracks me up every time.

Dancing Peasant posted:There's also a point where the party is split at Fallen Arm and you have Riki, Melia, and Dundun in one group. The fact that Dundun took so long to figure it out shows how loving sneaky the little bastard is.

Louisgod posted:The Nopon are pretty vengeful too, asking you to gently caress species up for minor things. Nopon ain't nothin to gently caress with. "Kill the leaders of both sides. That'll fix everything." Also, gently caress the jump you have to make to complete that quest. "GO GO GO GO YES YES YES I'M GONNA MAKE IT THIS TIME FFUUUUUCK, oh hi nopon researchers, good to see you again" shaitan posted:Is using the classic controller a lot better? As for your other question, I agree with the previous posters' advice--go level up a little. There aren't many times during the game that it will be necessary to take the time to level up (not that it takes that long anyway), and you'll know when you need to (like if someone absolutely ruins your poo poo despite your best efforts).

Chronojam posted:Chain attacks double the EXP, so abuse that if you need some levels. Get a lot of enemies provoked and wounded, then start the chains of doom. Yeop. The only thing I'd add is to make sure you're hitting the bad guys where you should be in order to fill the meter faster (Shulk has two arts that are fantastic for this--one for the enemy's rear and one for the side). Oh, and the noble heropon has that happy dance art, which also fills the meter, if I recall correctly. The most badass way to end a chain attack is Sharla's Head Shot art (on a dazed enemy). Seriously. Having her insta-kill those big baboon motherfuckers in Satorl Marsh is immensely satisfying.

I thought that was it, not the very obvious golden Falling stars seemed like it took forever to occur. I found it far easier to conjure up a thunderstorm. Thankfully, there aren't many situations in which you need the falling stars to get your drop/item.

Pyroxene Stigma posted:Xenoblade Online for the Wii U: Party with three other people. One's Wii pad will receive visions, and it's their responsibility to save the party. With voice chat or their own abilities. And whoever plays as Riki must speak like him over the mic or he'll refuse to do anything. Question: My first time through, I kind of blew through the last town without doing any quests for it--if you do all the quests there, does it become revitalized like Egil wanted it to be? I remember the chief saying something along the lines of "he's trying to restore it to its former glory all by himself."

Weird, quasi/pseudo-philosophical question about the ending: Are the Reyn, Sharla, Fiora, et al we see in the ending the original individuals, or reconstructions made by Alvis based on Shulk's memories of them? Since God-Shulk (re)created the world, would the original people have survived? Bonus question: Would it matter either way?

Vilkata posted:This is very early game spoilers, so much so that it probably doesn't need a tag, but is there ever a point where you don't have to cast Monado Enchant everytime you fight the mechina? You'll soon have access to equipment that negates this issue. Louisgod posted:Little known fact about the ending: Shulk's penis is now 14 inches long and Fiora has two vaginas. Shulk's dick was already that big, and Fiora never had a vajayjay in the first place. What are you playing at? While you're spreading lies, how about telling me how to beat Riki's third form? His D-D-D-D-Deathinate attack keeps wiping us out, and it doesn't help that Sharla left the party to open her own pastry shop.

Also, if you pick someone else as your party leader (and Shulk is in the party), the AI does a pretty good job of making sure Enchant gets cast when it needs to be (this will get loving annoying later on, but for now, you may find this configuration preferable).

Louisgod posted:Shulk may have created a completely new "Earth" based on the Bionis or something. Obviously, ending spoilers below: I like to think that Alvis heard Shulk's request for "a world with no gods" and thought "hmmm, not sure what he means, but I hope 'Earth before Zanza hosed it up' will fit the bill, 'cause I'm doin' that." Also, I'm rocking out with Seven, Riki, and Melia right now, and because of Seven's green Art, Melia's ridiculous purple Arts, and Riki's BUUUUURRRRRNNNNINATE, every battle is a loving rave. I'm honestly surprised that the Wii can handle all that poo poo. riki sneaky
