Also there's only one point of no return left and it's at the very end of the game, so you're fine as far as being able to drop everything and sidequest until you get there.

Sometimes there's weird hangups about quest markers. Try making sure Agate is equipped on someone, and then also go to the location anyways just to make sure. If you're in Gormott, let's say, and a quest updates to where you need to travel to Mor Ardain, the quest marker won't appear on the Mor Ardain map until you actually physically arrive on the continent, and then if you check the map again it'll be there.

Dropping by the thread to bitch about the gacha system since that's definitely never been done. Only KOS-MOS, Vale, and Newt left and after burning 35 legendary cores and 51 rares with 999 luck on the train home -- I have gently caress all to show for it besides a few 4 stars. Worst of all, I swear the game fucks with the player since nine times out of ten it shows the silhouette of at least one of the rares and way too loving often it flashes two of them before awarding me a two star common shitter. Centzon Totochtin posted:Nope not there. Do I need prospecting level 3 for it to spawn? I'm only at level 2 right now but that didn't stop level 3 spots from spawning on other titans so that shouldn't be the issue Make sure: Agate is in your active party, you have the sidequest active, you've viewed her affinity tree to make sure Agate's Mining got filled in after you finished the previous step in her quest chain. The spot should show up in your compass but as another goon said it's on the back left of the Decayed Titan on the bottom floor. Literally on the wall opposite of Parasite Aplacus or whatever that unique monster is called.

Bout Nia I really want to interpret her feelings as platonic even though they're not, just because Rex and Nia make really good buddies and don't really need to be romantically involved. If they hadn't done the stuff in Chapter 10 I would be fine, but Nia comparing herself to Pyra (which they hadn't done at all beforehand and I really appreciated) made it pretty clear that's what they're getting at.

Oh god I was just thinking of that whole saga when you got joint custody of E/N, what the hell happened with ASOIAF? I can see interpreting Nia's confession as platonic if it was never brought up again after that scene but the game explicitly says later that it was romantic love so idk why this is being debated at all

Earnestly posted:End of chapter 3 spoilers What gave you that impression? Xeno games have always been extremely anime. The first Xenoblade game was anime as hell as well. The world is two ancient gundams and the creatures that live on them while the last leg of the story is pure  GreenBuckanneer posted:That's how I interpreted it too. IDK how people thought it was. It seemed pretty obvious at the time, and even moreso when Rex said he loved her back, and then her reaction when he immediately makes it clear his love is only platonic further reinforces that her statement wasn't a friendship kind of love. It's also made abundantly clear (ch10 stuff) when you get to the Architect, because your 1 on 1 interaction with her is her being angry that Rex is focused on Pyra/Mythra while not paying any attention to her and her feelings for him.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:What are the other best ones Poppi Mk.2 is by far the best on paper, but you can't make Tora into a dodge tank without lobotomizing the other two Poppis, so that's kind of cheating. The story blade Brighid is off-the-charts good. She's basically immune to ranged attacks, gets a massive evasion boost at low HP, and has a high natural Block rate. Also, she's the only tank blade with access to Break. Most importantly, she gets a unique passive which gives her +10% damage stacking up to 250% every time she dodges--her damage output and aggro generation are unrivaled in longer fights. In her element, she's basically a tank with no weaknesses. Newt is dumb dumb dumb. She gets the all-important Draw Aggro Blade Art, is almost immune to enemy Break/Topple/etc effects (!) and reduces enemy damage by 40% just by existing (!!). Unfortunately she's also a fire blade, which means you're probably never going to use her on either Rex or Four. I guess if your master plan involves main tank Five you're set, but c'mon. Finch gets here as an afternote, since he has a unique niche. He's not actually very tanky and he has literally no bonus to aggro generation (except Draw Aggro), but he has a unique passive which resets enemy art cooldowns when he uses a special attack. Plus he's the only hammer tank which boosts evasion (which means he's Four's only real way to access Topple). It's not a great niche, but it is a niche, which is more than the really dreadful tanks (hi, Perceval!) can say.

It's not a great niche, but it is a niche, which is more than the really dreadful tanks (hi, Perceval!) can say. Because Nia has Perceval for me I'd never used him until just recently and I was super surprised to see that he was a Tank. I'd never realised! It just doesn't seem to fit him at all. I finally did Dagas' quest last night. I enjoyed it and I especially enjoy his new abilities. The only thing I would remove is having to do a merc mission near the end. It was 20 minutes and I just wanted to get the quest done and go to bed instead of having to hang around! Got Five's luck up to 500. Out of 10 rare cores I got 6 actual rare blades. It's a shame they're all bound to 5 but wow, Luck must seriously make a huge difference when you've still got a lot to unlock. I'm getting close to buying the DLC pass just so I can get those overdrives and start using these blades since I never use 5 at all. They feel wasted, I want to see them in action on people who can use them the way I want! And Rex's voice actor is from Bolton. He doesn't have a super typical Bolton accent but it's a vague mix of Manchester and Huddersfield.

Nia is also quite good with ether cannons, and maybe better than Five with them. Come endgame you won’t need a dedicated healer anymore. The lance user does not give an ether bonus. You’re thinking of Vale. Praxis has a Dex bonus, and most of her passive skills rely on having max Affinity, so she won’t be that effective if you’re also counting on Nia to use healing blades most of the time.

Unfortunately Newt's skill is poorly translated. Instead of reducing all incoming damage from nearby sources, it reduces damage that teammates take when they're close by, and it doesn’t affect her own driver. She's still really solid as a tank, but not as good as she first seems. THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Oops, I guess my 4 Story blade/Finch/Perceval setup isn't as good as I thought?

Perceval is quite competent during the story but weak at endgame. He's a tank blade who actually wants to be an attacker, which helps him draw aggro compared to some of the other katana blades. However, he doesn’t have the survivability that the other katanas have beyond whatever defensive accessories and aux cores you use. And the two drivers who are best at physical attacks don’t want the increased aggro draw that comes from having a tank blade. Gorg has this problem from the opposite direction: he's loaded with tank skills but doesn’t actually have the means to hold aggro as a tank should. Also, the tank driver doesn’t get any driver combo moves with axes.

So if you've got Ice and Water for healing on Nia you make sure your combos have Ice/Water in and she won't switch out. I know that's not foolproof but it's been okay for me!

It's not the lack of healing that's the problem. Nia will switch to heal fairly often. It's that all of Praxis's damage potential comes from reaching max affinity with her, and Nia won’t tend to do that.

I have 2 RNG Blades to go and have opened 150+ legendary cores with nothing dropping. Is there anyway I can greatly boost my chances of something dropping? IMO, they should have just added in a option where you could trade in 99 rare/legendary cores for a guaranteed drop. I think that have made the system a little better.

I'd be fine with the gatcha system if I could just pump luck on a single character - as it's really loving annoying finding the accessories for it in the list - and pair every single blade to them and transfer it out. I don't really see why that's even a problem other than they want to sell overdrives via the DLC! quote:I have 2 RNG Blades to go and have opened 150+ legendary cores with nothing dropping.
