Is there a concrete number of Permanent Party Members that can use Core Crystals by the end of the game? Wondering how many of the 38 unique Blades to save for later party members, and how many Rare Crystals to just blow on Rex and Mia at the start of Chapter 4.

Lol what the gently caress was the ending to chapter 4. Like what the hell did the game just do because I'm really confused. Am I playing xenoblade still. Help me. Also in regards to the start of chapter 5 I got Morag 4 rare cubes. She got 3 uniques back to back lol. Dhalia, Agate, and Azami. Haha what.

Don't blow any on Rex though. Just give him the two guarenteed ones. Beastly core and the story one.

I gave Rex some cores and I use Ursula pretty often on him and GEORG when I wanna mix things up a bit. I suggest doing what you want because the game doesn't punish you at all.

There is also a later game mechanic that means you don't want a ton of rare blades on Rex. And if you want to use party members 4 or 5 it really pays not to stock up Rex and Nia since rare blades seem to get rarer the more you have.

Mechanics spoiler for the mid/late game Rex eventually gets the ability to use everyone's Blades without them being assigned to him so any blade on him is kind of a waste after that point unless you never wantee to use it with anyone else.

I can attest, I had 1 in 3 rare cores giving me a unique for the first half of the game, but once I started getting a relatively regular source of rares, the well's run a lot drier. This is maybe the first game in a long while I sort of want to buy a strategy guide for, but I don't wanna spoil anything for myself either.

Valatar posted:So now that people've had a few days to get used to XC2, I have a question: Is the combat less tedious than XCX? I got XCX because I loved me some Xenogears and wanted more mechs, but the actual gameplay was just... eh. It was like playing a MMORPG with only four buttons. I bailed on it hours before getting far enough to actually get a mech, I just couldn't take any more. XCX's problem when it came to combat was putting a loving load of stupid worthless and ultimately convoluted statuses and elements and other factors within weapons/skills that barely get utilized. It was overly complex for zero reason. The combo and Blade system is a way better take on refining XC1's combat than the godawful lard of XCX's systems.

From the general look, they tried to go with recognizable mythological counterparts from UK/European folklore. UK People might not recognized Kagatsuchi as a goddess of blacksmithing, but they might know of Brighid from irish folklore.

The new town in Chapter 4 sells Golden Tanks for Salvaging. Use those puppies down at that Titan's dock, preferably with Blades who have Salvaging Mastery and work that loop for like ten minutes.

DLC Inc posted:this still sucks to some extent especially when a big fuckin bird who is level 70 butts into your battle but it's nowhere near as obnoxious as XCX was, which lietrally made you wade into nightmare territories of these enemies to plant your dumb mining equipment. I'm sorry, this is from a couple pages back, but XCX still had a ton of Nopon though? Just not in the main storyline. They had some really fun sidequests too.

XCX had plenty of Nopon in the form of Tatsu. The problem is that it was loving Tatsu.

You do have to do a few sidequests to get the trading companies into NLA, but after that the city is positively stuffed full of Nopon. A fair few even join up as BLADES.

Easiest way I've found to get money is to spam gold salvage canisters at the Toragoth salvage point near all the shops. Any mobs that come up get one shot (assuming you're at least mid game). When you run out of canisters hoof it over to the salvage turn in shop and sell whatever you can at the bottom of the shop's menu. There's a 41k item and a few 30k items - just don't sell the items at the top cause it's not worth it. Buy more canisters at the shop next door and repeat the process. You'll get rank 5 development for Gormott and a cool million gold in like half an hour or less of salvaging.

Ugh, just got my third freaking wind rare on Nia. I think the boosters definitely effect the element of commons but it feels like a total crap shoot when it comes to rares. Is it possible to get light element commons?Leathal posted:Easiest way I've found to get money is to spam gold salvage canisters at the Toragoth salvage point near all the shops.

I think ranking up also makes the QTEs easier.

I need some help with the sidequest "We Meet Again" in Mor Ardain. I'm on the step where I have to go into the old underground warehouse at Admar Storage Zone but I'm too stupid to find the entrance. I got a key and everything but I have no idea where the lock for it is and the map is (as always) awful. I'm standing right on the marker but it's 35 moon units below me... urgh.

Heck yeah, I got my second rare blade from another common core crystal (Adenine) and also bonded it to Nia so I don't need to transfer it. Going to just save all future crystals since I already have one extra rare on both Rex and Nia. By the way, I finally did my first actual 3 special combo now that I'm home and can try out what people explained to me in this thread. It did a heck of a lot of damage. edit: It's interesting how it seems like the Nopon's only speech quirk in Japanese is adding "mo" to the end of what they say, as opposed to the caveman-ish thing they do in English. edit2: By the way, do 3/4* blades exist? I haven't gotten anything but 1/2* ones and two 5* ones. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Dec 6, 2017 |

You gotta climb on a building then jump from a pipe over a gap on to a ledge where the door is. The door is literally on a ledge not connected to anything else.

I'm not sure if I'm bad at the game or if this Merc miniboss is just lying about his level. He's 42 and if I get him down to 25% he just one shots my entire goddamn party. I've tried a handful of different combinations/equips and he just kills everyone in one shot even though we're 41-42. It's really frustrating as he's blocking me off ranking up.

The game bloats itself with tons of mechanics it explains poorly and makes them all sound important but a bunch of them are extremely minor. At other times it doesn't make any effort to explain what is going on in combat to you. I had no clue what a bunch of the status effects actually did because the game doesn't bother giving you an explanation for them.
