The music of this game gets exponentially better the farther you get from New LA and Primordia. Nocturne is where it starts to get good but it unfortunately suffers from the greatest sin of the soundtrack, how obviously repetitive this is as it abruptly stops and restarts the song instead of blending into a few ambient cycles. Sylvalum's music is the best at lulling you a false sense of security before you wander into the level 60 pond of death right when a fog rolls in.

I really like Oblivia's music, particularly during the daytime. It can be a bit overwrought sometimes but it really accentuated the tension when I was running away from about 75% of everything in that zone when on my initial probe install exploration drives.

Whoa wait how do you get the ramjet rifle back after Alexa's quest?

Also I made the horrible mistake of finishing bastion warrior and then going to enforcer, using spikes and beam blaster as my primary damage. Turns out doing so also makes me pull all the aggro, all the time, without the ability to eat damage. It'd be really effective if I could just not melt after 15 seconds!

You get it back afterwards. I don't think you even have to do anything special

Oh that part isn't bad, I just don't want it to end and end like it does when that hits. Every time it gets to the juicy part I feel like there is a 1 hour jam session that got cut to the bone to fit on the U or was trimmed for more space for I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I CAN'T SEE YOU. OOOH OOH WOOO~.

I think the lyrics for Uncontrollable are actually pretty good re: theming.

But maybe the lyrics are actually bad and the song is just so good it makes up for it. Well it's good so whatever.

My absolute favorite is the Skell theme when fighting Ganglions, because ramming a Prone in vehicle form kicks off phat electronic beats and it's the best thing ever.

The absolute fastest way to earn them is to find three other pcs around the city or scattered around the gameworld, add them to your party and go slaughter enemies with them in your party until they're all star ranked, then remove them from your party and you'll be given a blade medal for each of them.

how does the gamepad work in xenoblade? i am really keen to get it, but at the moment am sharing big-tv time with my partner who's grinding through fallout 4. is there any ability to play it via the gamepad, or is that ridiculous given the text and hud size?

You can put it on the gamepad but the smaller text would probably be unreadble. Regular text would probably be fine though. Hopefully they patch in a large text option in the near future.

I think the text is sorta readable on the gamepad. It's not great, but it's not totally indecipherable.

This game really makes me look forward to VR. Not that there's any possible chance of it getting a re-release but holy heck do I want to stand on one of these cliffs and look around with a headset on. What's the status of Wii U emulation these days? The original Xenoblade was sharp as gently caress on Dolphin after a bunch of tweaks.

How do I kill this Hephaestus rear end in a top hat? I figured I'd come back to him when I got stronger but I'm now 4 levels above him, his name has turned white and he still takes minimal damage from my full ether blast/beam barrage combos and shits aoe damage that I eventually can't keep up with.

Did you register one of the items to your collectapedia? That doesn't tick the quest tracker down so it'll look like you have all you need, even if you don't.

Looks like if you reject a quest initiated by a person, you can go through the dialog again, including all of the options with the affinity gain. I don't know if that's enough to warrant a way to powerlevel affinity, though.

Where the gently caress do I find that data drive in oblivia? map points me to something with level 50 trash mobs, but there's no red item there, so I'm thinking it's underground somewhere. I went way above them and there was nothing up there, unless it was even higher up and I need the flight module...

Have you seen the little canyon path with the level 50-ish non-aggressive spiders? It's in there. Guarded behind a level 50 vermifore standing in such a way it's nearly impossible to collect the item before triggering it. Still haven't worked out how to get it before way later in the game.

You only really get storage probes from story quests and like, a single one hidden somewhere. Make sure the ones you have are chained starting from when you have three of them. If you desperately desire more storage space, I think either duplicator or boosters work with storage, but I can't remember which for the life of me.
