This is chapter 8 so Zeke is level 68. Has a Luck+30% so he's at....326?

Xenosaga was the first game I did most of and abandoned bc it was just too tiring. I was a young teen and had paid full price with my own money and was going to finish it bc sunk cost etc but in the end I just couldn't

I really like xenoblade to xenosaga to xenoblade not being a real series. It feels like organic legend the way stuff shows up from one game to another. Like chuchu to Tora is a weird evolution that never would have happened in a normal series.

Don't forget me that all blades boost a stat of their driver as well. I have two blades that I'm hanging on to because they give Zeke +18% Luck each. It's not really helping, but it's something I guess.

I go to it and find I've got 6000 points to spend.

This game is such a mixed bag for me. I loved the first one and they at least tried to address some of the criticisms (ie. quests chaining together instead of being all over) but gat dang they fumbled the execution. It ends up just aggravating to collect 10 random bear asses for the NPC to decide they're too lazy to do something else trivial and you gotta go skip travel about for some more rng drops. The new H2H system is cool, the combat is more varied, the world and music are just as good, the story is what I expected but how in the world did they wrap it up in an even more opaque rng fest?? I wanted to do the super bosses but it feels like the grind to get powerful enough will be even more of a slog than xbc1

there's not very much of a grind at all to hit postgame, mostly because all the postgame fights can be trivialized by a big chain attack. the big dinosaurs in temperantia are easy to kill and will give multiple levels per kill until the early 90's. then just make sure you have nia's affinity high, an avante-gard medal on your tank, and turtle your way through all the fights until you have 8 orbs.

I found the postgame challenges in this game vastly more palatable than XC1's. Not having to build around accuracy stuff leaves your approach a lot more open-ended.

Hmm that's good to hear. Is there any tangible character power benefit to maxing dev levels, like how in the first game you had to in order to unlock 4th/5th hidden trees? If I can do post-game bosses without having to hit up the majority of side quests then that's more my jam.

How do I make healers heal? I have Nia with three heal blades and she's still very inconsistent. I've lost a few fights where I've slowly gotten whittled down without being healed, and I'm not able to craft the arts heal core yet to help mitigate that.

I've lost a few fights where I've slowly gotten whittled down without being healed, and I'm not able to craft the arts heal core yet to help mitigate that. Many healing blades have skills that trigger healing outside of arts, like when doing a special or a blade switch. So make sure to use Nia in your blade combos. Check the affinity chart and tailor your strategy to the blades you have.

The strategy for farming core crystals involves using regular cylinders and failing the qte right? Then you kill krabbles or whatever? Is here any specific place that is ideal for this?

OK from the way you worded your initial statement it sounded like you thought the Japanese names were better because subtlety is bad(?) or something.

Started killing the super bosses and while Sea King Ken is annoying to spawn when weather doesn't want to play nice fighting them isn't bad at all. First kill I didn't chain attack until around 20% hp and if you seal blowdown then their annoying juggling move just does low damage over time that Nia easily heals through. Nia really doesn't seem to like using her fire bitball blade though, despite it being an orb master and a means of getting 3 orbs (fire/water/ice) right off the bat. It's bad enough Tora won't stop using his super murdermode blade, but come on Nia don't you do it too.
