If Xenoblade Chronicles gets a cameo blade, I hope it's Alvis instead of Shulk.

well it kinda should be Alvis since the whole blade thing is expanding on plot points surrounding him

There's already a good system for getting rare blades in the game that it even uses: side quests

Also the story presentation of core crystals is at odds with how the gacha works

How do I make battles not take forever? I suppose I'm meant to be doing chain combos more since I do a lot of fusion combos already, but each time i do a chain combo that doesn't result in a win results in death

No.

If he sucker punches you with it and you don't have your weapon drawn it can kill your dudes outright, especially if they're below level 68 or so. Once you get into the groove of the battle and your healing/defensive passives come into play he isn't bad at all. Spend some of your banked levels if you're having too many issues, or rearrange your accessories and get some more HP boosters.

Also remember that Pyra/Mythra's super form can absolutely destroy his HP if you trigger a chain attack with 3 or 4 orbs on him. It does absurd damage if you can chain the full combo, over half his HP for me with all my dudes either 70 (Rex) or 69 (Tora and Morag)

Ah, when he used that against me Tora activated his 'survive with 1 hp 1/fight' ability and then revived my other characters. I actually forgot about that until you mentioned it

yeah it ruled sitting there unable to attack him only needing a sliver of party bar to initiate a chain attack

That was also odd but I also have to wonder if they've had their memory reset, because presumably they died in the explosion and he re-bonded with them? They could also totally do a XC2-2 on new Elysium where some new evil comes along if they wanted. I kinda get why things went as they did, but Rex's obliviousness to Nia being in love with him sorta sucked because Nia owns and to me was clearly more of the secondary protagonist than Pyra/Mythra were; as the plot goes along it seems clearer that Mythra's really just a means to an end.

It also doesn't help that I found Rex had way more chemistry with Nia than Pyra. Mythra is a bit better about this, but still doesn't really match up.

It took me until near the end of the game to realize that the Torna guys are all designed by Nomura, which makes so much sense now when every cutscene with them in it feels like I'm playing an old Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts game.
