So, do any of the heroes actually wonder why Homs are piloting Face Mechon like robo-suits or is it all "Fiora is alive" awe?

C-Euro posted:Yeah, robo-suits is probably the safest direction they could have taken to explain those things but I still haven't gotten tired of robo-suits in my media. Isn't that the opposite of what the rest of the game so far has been showing, though? At this point, "the future didn't refuse to change!" kind of comes as a breath of fresh air; it'd be a pity if the writing abandoned that.

Well, not any more, at least now that Zanza went on Grafh on it and turned it into a super-Monado. Now Shulk gets to see if he can balance "gently caress I HATE MECHON  " with "I don't want to hurt Fiora  ".

JT Jag posted:I assumed that the Faces were machines with the spirits of humans in them, or they were fully integrated with humans like a cyborg deal. And I thought the red liquid on their surfaces was literally blood, probably from the body of the human that inhabited the Face. I didn't expect them to just be robo-suits. I honestly wonder if it was meant to be a double-fakeout. The blood pumping through idea seems like an easy logical deduction for the player to make (I thought the same thing - they eat Homs and circulate it around the outer shell of the Face Mechon as a kind of shield), so when the FACE MECHON ARE PEOPLE!  reveal comes it's still a surprise.

PleasingFungus posted:Isn't that the opposite of what the rest of the game so far has been showing, though? Now that I think about it, I don't think Shulk was trying to change what he saw in his visions of Prison Island. In fact, I like to think that there's some small unwritten implication that he wanted things to play out this way- "sure the Emperor dies, but I saw that in my vision right before I saw myself cutting down Metal Face, so if I let him die then I get my shot at revenge!" It would really drive home the vengeance at any cost angle, right before that vengeful side shrivels up.

Mighty Dicktron posted:I really really like how entirely reasonable the High Entia rulers are. The Emperor was the entire time, Melia is a party member, and Kallian offers Shulk an ambassador position and when he declines, still helps him out. It's really refreshing to see the jrpg "ancient advanced race" to actually be diplomatic and respectful even through their alleged xenophobia. It's just a small faction that are a bunch of jerks, the rest are cool people. Seconding this. I mean an elf analogue just admitted that hiding behind their defences and letting everyone else fend for themselves was kinda a dick move. I mean holy poo poo they actually apologized, that almost never happens. Behold the standard elf leader - "Oh the world is in peril? Well we, the Elves, knew all about this danger right from the start  ... but with our great intelligence and wisdom we bravely decided to ignore the problem.  But now things have escalated to terrible proportions we'd very much like it if you foolish ignorant humans could bail us out. Chumps"

Have you been doing the Colony 6 stuff? You should be able to get everything up to level 3 about this point.

    I had to redo this a few times because I was losing my voice, and I kept sounding like satan doing an LP. Edit: Commentary does start about 7 minutes in. I was too busy being VERY confused by flat escalators. That is pretty much how I take them in real life. Lethemonster fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Mar 3, 2014 |

Somewhere between level 43-45, Melia gets “Starlight Kick”.

I pretty much blitzed through this area because, after seeing that Fiora was alive, I really wanted to see her again. She was my favorite character, you see. I think at this point I started rolling with Melia, Riki, and Dunban and never looked back... well at least for a long time. Those three were the first I got to max Affinity.

This area is pretty well designed to let you speed through it if you choose. Satorl marsh had that 4-item fetch quest towards the end, but this one only has one item you need to fetch (for the obligatory mini-boss), and it doesn't take that long. I keep picking this game up thinking I'll make some progress on the main plot, but all I end up doing is finishing up collection and sidequests.

This is interesting. It seems like Fiora's been overwritten by whatever Mechon personality is in her, but is that the case for the Homs in Metal Face? Or is the clawing a memory the Mechon can access like Fiora's love for Shulk?

I'm sorry about the persistent delays guys. Unfortunately I am still quite ill. My doctors have managed to kill pretty much everything in me apart from the drat infection I've had for two months! It's in my ear and jaw. I've been sat on a bundle of updates but talking for any period of time is just too drat painful. To give you something more interesting I would like people still ready to post a couple of their favourite characters. I will do some background running around and prepare a host of the heart to hearts and interesting side quests since Dug and the Minions commentate those!

I like Melia, for some reason her unusual combat style really clicks with me. She the fragile mage actually has one of the most reliable and easiest single-person Topple combos in the game.

How is that you have not unanimously voted for the mighty Heropon?  Lethemonster, please take your time and rest up as much as you need to. Any infection that sticks around for two months is far more important than an LP.

This is actually a pretty difficult question, because the entire party was so drat likeable. I've also found that to be surprisingly rare in RPGs. There's usually three or four party members who I rotate through while I ignore the rest.

The character I really avoided playing as was Melia because I just couldn't wrap my head around her playstyle, yet she saw about as much party time as everyone else did by the end of the game. I didn't really play as Sharla that much either because her cool downs were far too slow for me, but the AI handled her great, so I can't complain. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Mar 17, 2014 |

For the love of me, I cannot find Agile Albatro in Makna Forest. The brief says it's in the Barren Moor area but I've swept the area up and down and not found it, and I'm *PRETTY* sure I didn't already hunt it down before. Weirdly, I *did* find a unique lizardman farther north that I hadn't already seen before.

I thought this was the regular Xenoblade thread for a minute A word of warning about Breezy Zelos - he spawns right in the path of a roaming t-rex enemy, so you have to gib him as fast as humanly possible if you don't want to get your face chewed off by a dinosaur in the middle of the fight. I never had a problem finding Sunlight Schvaik, he always managed to find me first. I couldn't go two seconds in that part of the zone during daytime without a screaming eagle divebombing my head. He somehow manages to be everywhere at once vaguely fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Mar 18, 2014 |
