I love how the game tries to get you to sympathize with the genocidal mass murderers. Chapter 9 spoilers Like, near the end of the game all the torna backstories and the sad music and all I could think when Akhos and that patroika bit it was, "loving finally." When gramps said jin had a splendid soul I was just like, "Dude killed you and literal boat loads of people. I guess I really just hate those "You won but you lost" cut scene fights that torna represents.

I feel like they cared more about not hurting Nomura's feelings than making them actually likable or have fleshed out motives.

I just realized it because it's a really goofy theme but all of the Xeno games seem to imply that every hero, no matter how messianic, is one dead girlfriend away from genocidal mania.

Hoo boy nothing like fighting a terribly annoying boss who can knock you down whenever the gently caress he wants, twice, in succession, and the second time he’s not alone

how to fix the crystal issue: remove the gacha, remove common blades, scatter the rare blades inside treasure chests, unique monsters and side quests around the world in a sensible and balanced way. it's crazy how they already did all of these good alternate ways to get blades and still thought the gacha was a good idea

I made the terrible, UNFORGIVABLE loving mistake of making Rex a DPS guy, so now I'm just getting housed by Morag because she has a mountain of health and I can't burst her down before she owns the poo poo out of me. Oh, wait, I'll just swap out some blad-----NOPE sorry you stripped all of my party members and my access to the blades I've actually been building up over the course of the game so I'm COMPLETELY hosed. Uhhh you should have ALL the Blades available still. Hell, it forces Aegeaon into your active Blades, and he will stomp everything for you in that sequence.

What am I supposed to do at Great Blowhole in the All's Fair quest? There's no marker or anything. EDIT: Groaaaaaaaaan. This game doesn't actually tell you when you don't have the right party for a quest, it just silently disables it. gently caress the hell off, seriously. nerdz posted:how to fix the crystal issue: remove the gacha, remove common blades, scatter the rare blades inside treasure chests, unique monsters and side quests around the world in a sensible and balanced way. it's crazy how they already did all of these good alternate ways to get blades and still thought the gacha was a good idea From analyzing the game I cannot come up with a good reason as to why there is a gacha mechanic. There seems to be no real point to it. Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Dec 17, 2017 |

Oh boy I really am gonna have to go sleep at an inn and cash in all my banked experience to get past this huh Like I like what they’re doing with Malos but fuuuuuuuck I hate Jin and also how nothing I do to any of those five assholes seems to have any consequences. They just dust themselves off, call me a bitch and cause the chapter to end I’m kinda fed up with that

But we're not paying money to draw Blades what the gently caress  Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Did you buy the warehouse in the first city? 100k, unless there's a trick to getting it for cheap I haven't found yet You can sneak into it somehow but with how easy it is to rack up money once you can buy golden cylinders and how garbage the "platforming" is it's easier to just pay for it. vvv Yeah, seriously. Just salvage a bunch with gold cylinders and save yourself the trouble.

You'll find a ramp leading up to the back door. It needs something like 4 Nopon Wisdom to open though.

I'm only missing 3 gacha blades after beating the game and they're not really gamechanging (Godfrey, Newt, Daliah). It really sucks for players if they don't get KOS-MOS or Zenobia since those two are the most broken ones.

You have picked up a random identical crystal with no discernable means of knowing who is inside it until you Resonate with it. Also there's no actual way to do your  monetization without bouncing the player to the eShop every time.

I don't think it's tinfoil hat to think that a system that 1:1 mirrors gacha games was at some point possibly considered to have a monetization element in it. I don't think that they were going to be the only way you could get blade cores or anything. But "Legendary Core pack. 5.99 per set of 10!" or something seems pretty in line with how lovely the system is.

If they did, this game would have been practically boycotted. I really want the two megabroken Blades, but I think I'll hold off until I get more rare cores. What's the best way to farm them?

Nah gently caress that, I want the cool unique ones. I'm not gonna let the game lock me out of content.

Oh poo poo, the gacha mechanic/mobilization is also present in Merc Missions taking real time to complete. Was this originally a mobile game?

what is the level cap? I found a level 130 monster, who was surprisingly easy until it did an obvious level check/enrage timer attack that wiped my party.

I get the suspicion, but there's more aspects to the paid gacha model that just aren't here. The lack of replayable/grindable long-run content, number of blades, and absence of online social/competitive features don't indicate a service model imo. Ironically the gacha would probably be better if they took more stuff from paid games (multirolls, unique non-SSRs, more transparent rateups because what do Ideas and catalysts even do), etc. There should also be a way to just outright buy gacha blades with ingame resources, or just not do the insane thing where all rares evidently have individual rates rather than a collective one.

I actually don't mind the gacha mechanic, I think it's neat that people will beat the game with different blades. However, it's way too loving stingy. At some point rare blades should be more common or you should be able to buy something that guarantees them. Although I guess maybe it doesn't make sense if there's no way to realistically level them all without spamming pouch items.

Whoops. when I got to level 2, I sent out Azami on her merc mission, and since it was a special quest one, I assumed it was separate from the normal missions and I could send out my normal team, but it turns out it was because I had 2 team slots all along. I spent all of level 2 thinking this until I got to level 3.

So I just noticed something. Xenoblade X spoilers: Is it just me, or do the Indolians look similar to Elma's true form? With the double-eyebrows, blue-ish skin, and pointy ears. If this actually is a thing tho then don't spoil it

OK i finally got it. Now, I know it's a darkness tank blade, but the question is, do I do the smart and boring thing and give it to Morag (I already have 3 tank blades on her) or do I do the fun thing and have a mixed class with Nia or Zeke

Five has nothing but tank blades whenever I rolled a rare one and I'm not sure how I feel about that as I now have 3 tanks on my team to choose from. Only ones I'm missing from the Gacha Grind is Finch (  )/KOS-MOS/2 obvious fire guys I don't know the names of.Also did a fast travel and got tackled by some horrifying thing called King of the Cloud Sea Ken or some poo poo and now I never want to go to that warp spot again jfc
