I started playing Xenoblade X on CEMU and it comes with loads of optional cheats. You can give yourself the option of changing the time from the menu instead of having to go to a camp, increase the EXP/Battle points/affinity, anything you want, force certain rarities of loot to drop, increase the range of picking up collectibles, make it so you can see yellow chat bubbles from super far away, turn off the Overdrive/Skell flying music so you can listen to Uncontrollable/the local music instead, modify the rate that you get resources from FrontierNav, have squad missions offline and increase the number of reward tickets you get, and more. I tried playing the game like 4 times on the Wii U over the years, and I kept bouncing off the game because of some of the grindier elements, but I'm really enjoying it now that it is a bit more streamlined with less grinding and some QoL stuff on CEMU.

Okay, been thinking about this some more and out of interest how does the Wii U gamepad mapping work on CEMU?

Does anyone have a link to the google doc spreadsheet? I'm trying to do some Colony 6 stuff before I reach the endgame and I definitely do not remember where some of these materials are supposed to be.

DE has been a lot of fun, turns out I forgot about 50% of the plot so it's been almost like playing it for the first time again.

centrism is a hell of a drug

The character designs are another reason I probably won’t play Xenoblade II even though I’m really enjoying XC:DE. The red sword lady, for example, literally looks like after the artists were done with her, someone went in and made her boobs twice as big, as a joke.

There's another window with touch support for the screen (works well if you have two monitors) and you just bind the actual buttons to keys/a pad.

I believe there is even an option to have a hotkey that toggles between the regular screen and the Gamepad window in case you don't have a second monitor? That would work fine in XBX because you never need to look at both screens at the same time.

Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr Customs Man.



Started Xenoblade Chronicles DE this evening and there's an update for it.

Here's a list I found of possible updates

– Turning off tutorial popups also turns off the casual mode popup.
– Fixed NG+ affinity coin underflow.
– Fixed an inconsistency with auto-attack delay.
– Fixed a softlock if the player falls off a cliff before a vision.
– Seems to have fixed new Tephra Cave skip.
– Fixed some Uniques running away too easily.
– Fixed some cutscene musics/GFX.

The character designs are insane and even though I really like the game it's very hard to recommend it to people.

When I was 14, big boobed waifus were all I could ever want. It's relatable.

e: also, the Xeno series in general has always been pretty drat anime, so I don't even bother recommending any Xenoblade to people who aren't already mecha fans, robot fuckers, or Smash players who think Shulk is neat

Yeah I was kind of wtf on the game for about 20 minutes on the design and then I got over it.

Until I pulled Dahlia out of a core crystal and wtf’d for another 3 minutes, then kept moving on. Game is good.

It can be pretty drat distracting when Pyra does that "holds hands to chest and looks sad" anime cutscene bullshit for the 800th time. Other than that I got used to it and when I pulled some huge-titted nonsense blade I just laughed.

It was ironic to me how Pyra came off as conservative to the point of saying that she's "self conscious" with a scene even about how she's not too confident about her body, yet she never bothers to cover up.

That's probably because nobody uses Sharla after like, Sartorl marsh because she sucks. But yeah, most of her clothes have assless pants.

That Cutscene instantly made me dislike Mythra but it also graced us with the divine perfection that is Dromarch in a sleeping cap with ears so I didn't rage quit the game right then.

I'm not certain of the scene in question, but Pyra comments about being self-conscious whenever it turns into night time because she glows and feels like that's really weird.

I really don't get why people keep trying to hang this on XBC2, considering she spent those 600-odd years between Torna and XBC2 in stasis :confused:. Subjectively she's like a couple years older than Rex at best.

Whenever somebody says something like that, it reminds me of when Disgaea came out and people were defending sexualizing Etna because she has a 10,000 year old demon soul (but the body of a ten-year-old girl)

Edit: this is sort of like the inverse, I guess

There's no excuse for Etna (the new mobile game is quadrupling down on it in the grossest way), but Mythra was a bratty teenager being dragged around by goofy old man Addam. She basically got a half century nap in a KOS-MOS pod and is mentally on Rex and Nia's level, and they don't play up any weird age stuff ever. It's like the one thing XC2 is actually pretty good about!

The current or recent banner (I don't play it, but I see art of it) really focuses a lot on Etna in a school swimsuit as she nearly pulls the thing off. I've seen Etna's original design enough that it barely phases me, and these screenshots I've seen are just... way too much and way worse than anything in the original games.

This tweet may put you on a list.

Is it possible or beneficial to get a 5* affinity in Upper Bionis before the events in the central factory? I know I’m missing later quests like the one that lets you get into the other secret room in the high entia tomb but I forget if that’s only accessible before that point. I ask as I have no quests left to build affinity.

Yeah because a lot of the High Entia move to Eryth Sea which is part of upper Bionis and I think your rating affects what quests you can get there?

Okay, in that case, how do you achieve the 5* if you’ve done everything? This includes all quests AND running around getting those extra boosts when you talk to named NPCs.
