You know, the fifth time we've run into shape changing aliens impersonating crew members, you'd think we'd stop being shocked by their existence and start implementing some security measures against it.

Aggressively normal is probably how I would describe it, she's supposed to be a badass leader but she just likes work and cats and classic cars like your pal down the pub Like L & H.B. etc are real entertaining for how over the top they are but I kinda like the average-ness of some of the others, if that makes sense. It kind of grounds the fantastical setting for me? We are fighting to protect the sacred boring-ness of every human in NLA Yakiniku Teishoku fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Dec 19, 2015 |

Yeah she's pretty boring in terms of personality and voice acting, but you occasionally get little bits of characterization apart from her ~deep mysteries~ that make her feel like a relatively normal person, and it works reasonably well for me at least. She's basically just a jrpg protagonist except not the one you play. Also the ending cutscene of chapter 7 amused me with everyone doing the same hand on hip thing in response to Vandham. chumbler fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Dec 19, 2015 |

Can someone tell me if it's worth keeping Gus around. I knew drat well the "help me guys ;_;" thing was a lie and did it anyway expecting to fight him afterwards like Quincy told me. He ran off giggling into the sunset which is hilarious but funnier still was when I reloaded and a crab gently pushed him over and apparently killed him.

Someone a few hundred posts back said there's a particular order or item you need to pay attention to for the quest to rescue the Tree Clan Prone leader's son and allies to stop his son getting killed in the process. What was it?

So I gave up on the rest of the game, and just watched everything from Chapter 11 onward on Youtube. I got things to say about the end of the game (so yeah, spoilers). Elma being a xeno, or at least non-human, was super obvious. There's like a million hints about it dropped throughout the game. The details are the interesting bits, and I don't think we ever find out where she's from...? I might be wrong. Either way, it's not surprising at all. Who were the Ganglion warring with? Was it the Samaarians? Do the Samaarians still exist at this point in time, if humans are considered their descendants? That stinger raises a lot of questions. Does the postgame ever explain what the planet is supposed to be? Are the Xenoblade 1 references supposed to mean anything, or are they just teasing? Come to think of it, if the database was destroyed the whole time...does that mean those 20 million people are all gone? Is it just BLADE, now? Who the hell are we? Are we just some average joe? Did we have any larger purpose? How come we didn't have our memories while everyone else did? How come we were easily the most effective member of BLADE? Did the planet influence us somehow? I'm 100% certain that my questions will never actually be sufficiently answered, cause I don't think any future Xenoblade games will touch on them, if there are any future Xenoblade games at all.

What was it? Yeah, what you're supposed to do is rescue the other two guys first, one of them will tell you that Simius are repelled by Kepha Holly, so have one of these on you when you come to rescue the son. If you don't have any, you can find some around 313/314/317/319. Also, do note that you can still jump even if you drive off a cliff in vehicle mode, so you don't have to watch your skell fall helplessly after it practices sick involuntary wide drifts.

The protagonist of the game is an organization rather than a person (I strongly dislike this aspect of the story but that's just how it is), and Elma's by-the-book normality is part and parcel with that.

What's the best way to make money before post game (other than just waiting for Fnav revenue)? I just beat chapter 10, I have lvl 30 skells on everyone and I want to get at least one lvl 50 one before I beat the game. Related to that, where's the best place to grind xp?

I've been accumulating reward points passively just from the squad tasks, but is there a way of farming much more of them actively, with characters in the level 30 range? Buying rewards to skip grindy lovely missions is great, but I'm out of RP now.

If you want ground weapon schematics, take your Phoenix to the Kitsune Stronghold in Cauldros and go to town. Also from Milsaadi's in Sylvalum.

Would have beaten Telethia if it hadn't done that Chronicles dodge every move poo poo. Two cannons and 3 gatling guns weren't enough to get rid of that bullshit. Edit: Exact same thing again. Is it there just to prevent me from beating him if I can't do enough damage before he takes off again? Edit 2: gently caress this game.

Having burned through the end of the game, and aside from all the other questions raised before, I another massively spoilery question: So if they're living in their mim bodies aren't they all now effectively immortal? They can just transfer their consciousness to a new mim if they so please, right? They've made more than one reference to 'dying' and just waking up in a new mim, I'm assuming this has already been done before in NLA, or was it just a hypothetical? "Upgrading to a newer, younger model" just became a reality

Mims die all the time in sidequests and sometimes characters will bring up wanting to find the Lifehold so they can bring their friends back to life. Seems like mims can be fixed up much more easily than a human body but death is still death. As it is for all the humans who weren't lucky enough to get mims maybe?

More talk on the ending When you put more than 5 minutes thought into the whole thing, the story took a really dark turn in the end there. Everyone is dead. NLA is it. Doesn't seem like enough people to sustain a viable species population. And if mim's can't propogate, then welp...

Man, gently caress that Misaldii or whatever his name is at Yelv's third affinity mission. It took me 3 tries till I realized my teammates' mechs were G-Busting me. That being said, the cutscene afterwards was amazing because I ha the foresight to give Yelv the heart-shaped glasses.

Any issue with the ending can probably be solved with Professor B actually getting a working time machine in order and transporting a few more ships or fixing Earth entirely. But then again, with all the weird poo poo around Mira they can always pull a Earth and the human race was remade and is an entirely new planet out of their rear end and I won't bat an eye.

Does Murderess disappear after doing The Rich Little Girl? I haven't seen her since I completed the mission and removed her from my team. She doesn't seem to be gone for a Heart-to-Heart either, since she doesn't seem to be around during every part of the day.

Unconfirmed but it seems like weapon drops are based on your party members and your class. I switched from drifter to full metal jaguar and added elma and celica to my party. Dual sword/gun drop rate seems to have increased and I no longer get assault rifle/knives/javelins.

Her first Heart-toHeart is in the Residential District in one of the house's back yards. That's the only one I've done with her so if you've already done it, good luck finding her/the next one I guess. Unrelated, I was tooling around NLA with Irina in my party and she got on another Interceptor's case for calling me a noob. Are there more division-specific interactions like this with various party members or was this a one-off kind of thing?
