So, are the three enemies at the end of "A New Rival?" supposed to be wiping out my party in like 5 attacks even though I'm at level 14 and this quest opened up at level 12? Or is my armor just that terrible?

Is there any way to view what exactly gear attributes like "draw surge II" do? Or is there an online guide that does? If you go to the weapon manufacturers to upgrade the gear attributes you can see exactly that info, but only if the item is upgradable.

Currently downloading all of the textures and stuff so it runs better off the CD. Is there any game mechanic that unlocks later where you should wait until then to do quests and stuff? Also, what is so important in the manual? Without playing the game I don't know what is or isn't in the tutorial that would be good to know.

Zore posted:Oh, thats good to know! there's an unlockable photon saber art (from one of doug's affinity quests i think) that reduces ether resistance, and blast fencer gets a skill to boost ether damage. you'll probably have to get skills from other classes if you want to go with some other damage type.

Also - is there anything you lock yourself out of over time? If I stay relatively close to the story stuff until Skells unlock, will I still be able to go back and binge on side content?

You're going to be forced to do a fair amount of side content as it is to progress in the story. There are a few things that lock out based on time, but they almost exclusively happen after chapter 9 which is way after you get Skells.

Is there a good reference for what the different "elements"armour protects against? Im guessing that the first 2 on the top row are melee and ranged damage but I have no idea for sure which is which. I checked the manual but couldn't see anything there.

I can't believe how fun it is to get around in this game; moving around in Xenoblade was okay but your characters were so slow unless you gemmed up for it. I'm thinking of other games that tried copying XB's massive environments, like Tales of Zestiria. They sure hosed up though because movement in that game is so slow and there's nothing interesting to see or nice places to explore so the world just feels giant for no reason and it makes the game unplayable essentially. XBX did it right by letting you run fast as gently caress, jump really high, give you some really cool platforming that leads you to cool places and new shortcuts, and peppers the world with challenging enemies and not that many level walls. It's really nice.

I found an NPC named Monica on the lower level of the administrative district who told me the locations of a couple of rare collectibles. She also said to ask her again later for more info, so I'm hoping this is a thing and she'll keep giving out info like this for different items as I get further into the game! Here's the stuff she told me about: California Sunset can be found west of Biahno Lake near a cave, spherical EM motors are in the Weeping Whitewood area in Noctilum

Got a skell finally and I like that they don't invalidate the on foot fighting. My main character feels like it can put out almost as much damage on foot as in a mech but when fighting giant enemies the skell can take hits and its disable skill fells really good to use. Also the increased mobility feels incredible. The extra jump height completely changes how I get around. The best thing though is constantly transforming and doing donuts all across the untamed alien wilderness.

Bussamove posted:Man the aerial cam is the best god drat thing that I was never loving told about. Was running around last night hunting down What is this "aerial cam" and how do you use it? So, in my continued time with this game I just find myself having more and more questions: 1) At the end of chapter 3 you get some notices that there are two additional party members you can recruit beyond Mia and Mel, but they're not in the barracks to add to my party. How do I find them? 2) Is it a good idea to accept all the missions on the mission board even if you don't plan to do them immediately, or do non-accepted missions cycle out for new ones over time? 3) Is there a consistent way to cause a particular type of weather pattern to appear? 4) If I was a fan of playing Dunban in the previous game, what with all of his skill combos and such, what class/classes should I invest into?

Saigyouji posted:It's actually pretty easy to make Psycorruptors/Masterminds into really good damage dealers, since at Psycorruptor 10 you get the Core Crusher skill, which nullifies appendage damage from ether attacks in exchange for giving a 150% damage boost at max level. Combined with the fact that Masterminds get Black Butterfly, an ether attack that reduces ether defense, it can get kinda silly. Is the damage boost just for ether attacks or for anything?

Brackhar posted:What is this "aerial cam" and how do you use it? Aerial cam is used by holding R and pressing up on the d-pad. It gives you a birds eye view of the area. For party members, Gwin is on Division Drive, Irina is just south of the barracks. Sam Faust posted:Is the damage boost just for ether attacks or for anything? Just Ether attacks, AFAIK, but most of Mastermind's attacks are ether in the first place, and all the ones that aren't are weapon damage. (Except Gravity Blast).

Brackhar posted:What is this "aerial cam" and how do you use it? In Order 1) The other party members show up on your map. All the main story dudes who have affinity quests lines and factor into the story (There are 8 who all unlock by the end of Chapter 5) will be hanging around the Administration District, people you get from sidequests tend to be in the other areas but it will show up on the map. 2) You can only accept 20 missions at a time from the board so just pick the ones that you wanna do. 3) No, its random. If you keep fast travelling it'll reroll 4) Dunban's playstyle is spread out a bit. Galactic Knights get a lot of melee combo attacks and Auras, while Gun Samurai have some of his tanking stuff. Nothing is going to be 1:1 because of the dual melee/ranged weapons and artes though, but what are you looking for? Shitkicker, Tank, Debuff inflictor?

As long as it isn't a plot or affinity mission you might as well accept it. Worst comes to worst you can drop it, but otherwise it gives you something to do while doing other stuff.

Also, something the game doesn't really mention but is important as you go on. Once you hit level 10 in a tier 3 class you can equip that class' weapons no matter what class you're in. Since classes don't have intrinsic benefits, once you've mastered a class just transfer to a different one and re-equip your old weapons to continue getting new skills and unlocking stuff for weapons. This also lets you create hybrid classes (You can pick any 2 weapons skillsets to use together) and once you've gotten everything you want you should stay permanently in Drifter which has 5 Skill slots to the tier 3 classes 4. Now, a lot of weapon artes are designed to be used with the weapon they're paired with in the tree so you might find yourself missing a buff that knives or whatever have if you want to rock a longsword instead as a psycorrupter. But you can build some pretty cool and unique artesets, especially when you add in the affinity skill rewards from doing Affinity Quests which usually have more generalized attack artes and buffs.

You Complete the Marry Me! mission while doing the affinity quest, you just need to accept the quest. You also need to be level 21 and have finished chapter 3. BTW you are most likely to die if you don't have a skell it will send you to Cauldros.
