Boss fights were like that in XC1. The point isn't that you're killing them, but that you're fighting them to the point of a climactic point.

The point I think is that bosses are challenging and for a lesser player who might die a few times to them, the time where they win with barely any health might have a fixed cinematic like that make more sense. You've optimized that fight to the point where you dont see that (using mechanics well, being overlevelled, just being a veteran rpg player) and it might make better sense if you were a newer player. Plus, its super anime and its an anime cliche.

Well, at least I got chain attacks before I got overdrive in X. Cancelling autoattacks is a bit more tricky when you’re playing in portable mode with the sound off. Had to zoom in lol

I can at least understand why characters don’t change outfits. Guest artists have a unique vision, not 8. Plus, Rex really needs that specific suit to do all the salvaging with, and it would also have required a different category of items. Not impossible obviously, but this one has a strong emphasis on story so the corners they cut are consistent on that.

stack a single orb on it, and then use the big thing to farm up 3 bars for a chain attack. It's fragile enough to kill in one chain attack.

Just two minutes of nothing but "YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE MEH??!?!" screamed by five goddamn dudes

You can change each sound option in your settings. I turned my music up and my voices down and its much better. I would see if you can't find some settings you prefer before you get up on the horse

I see the gacha system as being a better fit of you don’t grind for all of them and just roll with whatever 7 rares you find first. That way your playthroughs are different as you try different party configs.

I think if Nintendo decides to gate quests and things like blades behind ever decreasing luck with every rare you pull again, i'm just going to avoid the game it's in outright.

At least 700 pulls of nothing now between my last rare and now, and I still have 5 more to go.

What chapter are you on?


I get the feeling that the gacha system has to ‘reload’ by doing something in game that provides invisible points to the system. I do pretty scant pulls and it seems that I’m never too far between rares, but I usually am just looking for a common to fill out a field check so my expectations are different. I bet in several months we’ll find out that gaining trust, doing quests, or filling affinity bubbles, or killing uniques, SOMETHING, influences the gacha system so that as long as you don’t try to force them all out at once they are not that hard to pull. I just don’t see 700 pulls as being creator’s Vision.

End game spoilers

Now Adam Howden is basically voicing the triforce


XB2 Klaus has the triforce of wisdom

XB1 klaus has the triforce of power

Shulk has the triforce of courage

Rex channels from the big central power of the goddesses

Alternatively zanza has the triforce of courage and only loses it to shulk because he was no longer worthy.

Malos has the triforce of power in this case.

Don’t forget you can send out multiple teams as well. Realistically that could just be 10 hours, which, frankly, is how long it would take me to fill out many affinity charts.

Man I can not get any Cubic diamonds or whatever for the poppi side quest.

Though I did get a rare blade from my first Legendary.

Cubic Diamonds are very rare. A good spot to mine them in Mor Ardain would be in the lower level, near the landmark labelled "Pipe..." If you haven't discovered this landmark yet, I would suggest poking around in the upper level; The Mine Pit and Elevator might lead you in the right direction, and there's a separate section where you might be able to bound downwards towards the titular pipes in the rock. There's only one mining point afterwards so having Brighid is great since her Mineralogy helps farm it fast.

Use them indiscriminately until you're trying to get KOS-MOS, then try to use the ones that let you prefer light/dark blades.


Theoretically they also increase the chances of your commons being 2-3-4 stars as opposed to 1. So really, I would use as many as possible for every pull whenever, just so that over the 25 hours of playing you end up with overall a stronger roster of commons to pull from. More than once I've lazily been looking through my commons and gone 'wait these skills are amazing, why am i not using this blade?'

Ugh chapter six I knew about the ice pillar but now I'm past that and the stupid waypoint keeps getting further away not closer, and now there's a collapsed ice bridge that needs 5 focus and blargh. Am I even going the right direction?

At least I have number one best character Zeke to keep me company now.


That ice bridge is an option area. The gigantic pillar you're on should have a vertical segment that lets you climb down.
