You'll probably end up getting most of the low level stuff just randomly as you go, and for the high level stuff most people just skip to the final tier with Nopon Coins because gently caress that poo poo. You'll end up with waaaay more Nopon Coins than you need for other uses anyways.
This~ you can skip tiers! The UI is a little counter intuitive from what I remember but you can definitely do it, even using normal mats.

Xenoblade 3, middle of Chapter 2.

The first two chapters are very linear and hand-holdy. The developers are terrified if I don't know what a quest is or how to equip an accessory.

I bet asexuals hate this game. It starts off with everyone being all Starship Troopers in the shower, but after the inciting incident they all turn into normal people who'd get embarrassed about kind of thing.

So there are no consumables or weapons and armour? What the hell is money going to be used for?

It's recommended never to over-level because your classes can't grow by beating beating weaker enemies? That sounds like a pain in the rear end.

There are a ton of similarities to FF13 here, only they properly establish poo poo and don't force you down a narrow hallway for twenty hours. I give the original Xenoblade credit for bringing back actual side-content in JRPGs, even if had 400 too many fetch quests.

money is functionally worthless yeah i don't think I ever spent any

basically just never use the bonus exp and you won't outlevel stuff, i wouldnt worry too much

and yeah money is pretty useless on purpose. you use it in the early game to buy some accessories and then the shops never really update

One in a dozen examples of 'a scene must mean something and that thing is a callout post to something they're projecting dislike towards'

Nothing has changed since people were reading Homestuck, everything's a set up to troll some group of fans of 'Bad Thing' in some manner. There's a deeper meaning to Palmer being hit by a truck after you beat him, 2B isn't designed to be attractive just because, there's definitely a 7,000 page long novel explaining why.

I keep forgetting that people didn't like the exp system in XBC3 because I just played with a hack that patched in level select from the start and constantly lowered my level whenever I felt too strong

I used my bonus exp all the time and never had issues. I never grinded or did every single thing in every area as I played tho so maybe that's why I wasn't super overleveled.

XBC1 was also the same era as "persona 4 and dangan ronpa are not anime, and infact are actually making fun of anime" so frankly goons brains were just more broken than usual back then.

Quite literally just because they had british accents. That's not a joke, that was somehow proof it wasn't anime cuz people sounded different than what they perceived jrpgs did.

the sequence isnt that bizarre. if you're looking for a logical justification for it then sure i guess but. ff8 isn't a story demanding logical readings, it's purely emotionally driven.

iirc you are floating tru space with rinoa contemplating certain death and what not, randomly stumble into a derelict ship, and then you do the alien movie for some reason. id say thats a bizarre sequence of events
