I like the idea of poppi's customization system but it's annoying that you need blueprints on top of Tiger Tiger points to actually do anything useful. I wanna change her core but I've never found a single one of the uhh technical manuals or whatever they're called and I'm on chapter 4

IcePhoenix posted:tl;dr - Maxing out any blade's affinity chart gives you an item that can add a big chunk of WP to any weapon type. Maxing an affinity chart also gives the bonded character level ups in their Truth/Comp/Just/Brave levels as well. The best way I found to do this is with rarity 1 blades with as few affinity blocks as possible. SlayVus fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Dec 6, 2017 |

Does maxing out those levels actually do anything other than skew the odds of getting certain elements from blade bonding though? Either way, using merc missions to fill out a bunch of level one blade orbs and then pulling them into my party to finish them off seems like something I will be doing to get my WP grind on.

Still don't know what's the significance of a character gaining an idea level. Does that affect the element of blades they can find?

IcePhoenix posted:Does maxing out those levels actually do anything other than skew the odds of getting certain elements from blade bonding though? The higher the idea level the more likely common Blades are to come with better abilities and higher stars. I've started seeing 3 star commons pop up consistently in chapter 6, and I imagine I'll start seeing some 4 stars and potentially 5 stars soon. And 3 Stars are already starting to look comparable to some of the worse rare blades.

Calaveron posted:Still don't know what's the significance of a character gaining an idea level. Does that affect the element of blades they can find? If you look at the core on the blade bonding screen when you're highlighting a booster, it will have two elements circling the core. These are A: opposing elements, B: more likely to be the element you roll when that stat is higher. Zore posted:The higher the idea level the more likely common Blades are to come with better abilities and higher stars. That's excellent, as it's been theorized (though not proven) that higher level blades will give a bigger WP boost when you finish their affinity. Hopefully I have enough time to figure it out this weekend.

Am I crazy or is there no way to browse the map that's not the skip travel menu? It's not terribly inconvenient but sometimes you can't see a part of the map because you don't have a landmark there (or there just are no landmarks there)

CharlestheHammer posted:Which Salvagepoint is the one with the spawn that is a guarantee rare and common crystal? The salvage point right near where you first arrive in Mors Ardain has a high chance of pulling up Krabbles which always drop common cores and a rare drop of rare cores. You get guaranteed rare cores if you overkill them with a chain attack.

Finished Chapter 3. Used 3 rare core crystals and got 2 more rare blades. Zenobia and... someone else whose name I forget. Both were on Nia and neither were a healer. I hope to god you can farm overdrives because I don't think I've pulled a rare on a job-relevant character yet. Though Adenine is alright on Rex. Also that creepy bunny shiva blade only has an elemental mastery and nothing else. She'd better be an amazing healer if I transfer her to Nia because no extra passives is BS. Anyone able to confirm if moving her to Nia would be worth it considering how annoyingly rare the overdrives seem to be? Tipme posted:Quoting because I also want to know. Some times I do chain attacks but there are no orbs to burst. You have to do a 1-2-3 combo. The game mentions this multiple times. Level 4s just do more damage IIRC.

SlayVus posted:Just walking through an area should give you a discovery to open up the map area. If not, you haven't been over there before. And yes, skip travel is the only way to view the map. I'm specifically thinking of the top level of the trade guild. I can't view it on the map despite clearly being able to jump over there to check out the air flow (which i can't use yet. which is why i'd like to be able to check it on the map without going over there)

No yeah I get that but characters have innate idea levels too, does that make them more predisposed to those specific elements even without using boosters? Like say if Rex is lvl 4 in Fire/water idea and lvl 1 in Ice/Wind does that mean that even when using one ice/wind booster during bonding he's still more susceptible to getting a fire/water blade?

Is there any way to influence the party AI? I had Nia open a blade up and it was Zenobia, an attacker. Which is cool, but now I get dangerously low in combat because her AI seems to switch to it randomly without any real regard to whats going on in combat. I know I can just not equip it on her but I wanna use my shiny new toy!!! Wish you could swap who you're controlling mid combat tbh.

I assumed after the three chain combo but that doesn't seem to work.

So I accidentally found myself in the original thread for the first game. Is the consensus still that it was one of the best JRPGs in recent memory? How do the sequels compare? I'm basically looking to binge run a JRPG series and I'm caught between Persona, Xenoblade (and maybe Xenosaga although I have no idea if there are any tie ins or relation whatsoever to this franchise) or the last couple Final Fantasies that I've missed.

Tosk posted:So I accidentally found myself in the original thread for the first game. the original xenoblade was very well liked due to better than average characters and voice acting compared to the poo poo being released at the time, and also for a whole bunch of quality-of-life mandates like some quests resolving immediately after doing a thing without needing to go back to the quest giver, saving anywhere, an easy encyclopedia of things to do and what you collect, a fairly simple MMOlike combat system, Nopons, and a great soundtrack. It was more of an anomaly than anything because it came out for the Wii, exclusively in Europe/Japan, and was locked away from the Americas for years (unless you just softmodded the Wii like a sane person to bypass region) I'd still say it's very fun and holds up, though a lot of it might feel dated now compared to XC2, FF15, or what games like even berseria and Persona 5 can offer. I still think it's good.

Tosk posted:So I accidentally found myself in the original thread for the first game. I think the original Xenoblade is very much worth playing if you have access to it. Its dated by now but playable and is free from a lot of the bullshit that drags down a lot of JRPGs so its not hard to progress through (the main story at least, gently caress the side quests). I think the biggest appeal it has is a fantastic and unique setting to explore, something that to me still stands out years later. Xenoblade X isn't actually connected to Xenoblade Chronicles 1 or 2 in any meaningful way. Even the gameplay mechanics between the games aren't terribly similar. Some people really like it but I don't think its anything special, and its a much harder game to get into than Xenoblade 1.
