That's it! No more hiding in tomato crates! It's time to show that idiota Germany how a real nation fights!

For pasta~! CHARGE!

DLC healer is probably the best healing class in the game. Reason being, it has a lot of recharge in the skills and it's Keves, so you can equip the Signifer suite. End result, a better version of the best healer of the game.

Any recommendations on who to give Iota Goods to? Are any of the rewards especially good? Or is it really just whoever you like most?

You eventually get more, enough to give to everybody, so give them to the people you like first.

I got the DOC and kinda like having this tank hero along for the ride this early. It lets me run 3 dps and makes everything feel smoother.

Soundtrack is announced for July 29th and it includes DLC Wave 4 songs, so it's highly likely the last wave will release on/before then.

Also a bunch of other Xenoblade music stuff announced including a 20 disc box of all the music from Definitive Edition + FC + 2 + Torna + 3.

Given how much I love the music work put into these games, I might have to get the box set of the trilogy. RIP wallet.

e: Oh my god the 3 limited edition has replica flutes but the trilogy set doesn't. This is how people get decision paralysis.

Can you buy the soundtrack digitally anywhere, instead? I love the music but I really don't want to have a bunch of CDs cluttering up the house.

Itunes has the soundtracks for XBC2 and Torna but nothing else unfortunately.

Like Mill Village said 2 and Torna are already available digitally and 3 and DE will be available to buy digitally once they release, no word on streaming though. The OG Xenoblade soundtrack will probably stay CD only though.

I've never used iTunes. Can you just download songs you buy there on regular media players, or do you have to use the official app(s)? (I'm guessing the answer is "lol, no" but figured I'd ask...)

Ah, this is good to know. Don't need streaming. Just looking for "purchase and download the music so I can listen to it on Winamp or whatever."

I have the OG soundtrack already.

No clue about Apple Music but they're on Amazon as well for downloads, pretty sure you can just buy and download those.

No-frills MP3s are just what I need! And the soundtrack to XBC3 and the DE will be available the same way later in the year?

The iTunes format isn't weird at this point. Pretty much any player can play AAC.

Trawling videos during Easter holidays I happened down a vtuber playthrough of 2. The video with Rex's line (you know the one) it's about one month before 3's release.

I can confirm the line is at least ten times funnier now and the reactions twenty times funnier.


Do we have a rough date for 4th DLC release? I'm loving glad for this dumb series, ever since what I once described as a friend as "this is one of the best jRPGs in the PS1 era; well, disc one is".

Random Question: if I use my bonus xp to level all my heroes to like 10 levels past the rest of the party, does that affect xp/cp/etc gain?

Take me to your Shida

after cycling in and out of this game multiple times I finally sat myself down to finish the story and I swear to god the 4th dlc better give me my god drat happy ending instead of this dumb bittersweet one :argh:

Also because I'm sick in the head I decided I'm going to try to get every X gem and master every blue mage spell is there a good way to track either of those things? Especially the former because I hacked together something from an old reddit post for the blue mage stuff that will probably work fine if there's not something more intricate out there.

So are we figuring that Niall is (for real end-game spoilers srsly don't click this if you haven't finished the game) Noah and Mio's kid? That was the vibe I got.

However my brain is fried at the moment so I could just be imagining things.

I'm continuing my save. I had left myself all the postgame megaspoiler Nia's daughters stuff to do later on when the DLC story was close by and welp. I'll do that and the DLC heroes and a bunch of other stuff until the DLC comes out and then chug that DLC in two weeks aaaaaa

the girl who looks like pyra's daughter and the boy who looks like fiora's son randomly being here seems like they're setting up for the funniest possible xenoblade plot point and i am devastated that it seemingly doesn't come to pass

e: having finally seen the character names it actually seems like the DLC plot might just be batshit insane instead of including an epilogue, hosed up

Those are what I'm referring to. Matthew's sister is named Na'el and their grandfather is named Ghondor. So there's a pretty good chance that "Ghondor's choice" is referring to grandad and "Na'el's World" is the penultimate cutscene.

On the other hand, a lot of those last 10 chapter titles really do seem like they might be a flash forward and the promotional image for this DLC featured Noah's sword, so I guess there's still a chance. It just seems a lot less likely to me now.
