Also the music composer Hiroyuki Sawano did the music for Kill la Kill. If you liked that thing, that should make you happy.

What is a good division to start out with as you're learning the ropes and I guess gaining any resources you can to help out when the game lets you get out from the tutorial?

Reclaimers for increased loot drops.

The Taint Reaper posted:

the tit editor is still in the game's code but you need to use something like an action replay(which doesn't exist for the wii-u) or whatever to make the slider selectable.

So basically, wait for the wii-u emulator to be a bit more developed

I remember reading that it took 40 hours for someone to finally get a mech. Is that normal, or did he just dick around with other stuff for way too long?

That's about right. There's about 13? or so main chapters in the game, you get your skell at chapter 6 or so, and you don't get your flight pack for your skell till chapter 9.

Even doing the chapters requires you to complete sidequests concurrently or as a pre-req, so you might be able to try and beeline and get it like 25 hours in or so if you rush maybe?

It's getting painful watching people in the EU who got the game early struggle so much, and they're all people who are playing for the first time while im like "Nooooo don't do that, do this, ugh how do you not understand what tp is"

Sure, I have a headstart on them, but the mechanics seemed pretty easy enough to grasp if you pay attention instead of just being like "ugh cutscenes..."

I'm super interested in how the disc version runs without any packs. The loadtimes didn't seem drastically worse to me in that comparison video, but I'd love to see a pop-in comparison or something. Or if enemies spawn inside you or anything equally drastic.

I don't have a video I can show you but out and about it's not too bad from what I've seen, tho it's fairly noticable. In New LA however it's super noticable in that things will phase in within 30 feet.

I like how you can get quests that are impossible to do.

Like okay, I picked up a quest where I got to get a guy's comm device, but I'm level 10, and the item is guarded by two level 33s who are facing the item sleeping, and immediately see me (meaning I can't pick up the item).

I'm waiting for morning in game and hope they despawn or move so I can snatch it because lol.

Gamestop didn't have the guide till 1pm.if I knew that I would have had it shipped to my house :mad:

There's supposedly a bunch of camera settings somewhere that help with that. I wouldn't know for sure though, don't have the game as of yet.

Zooming the camera out (Hold L and use the right control stick) makes navigation way easier for me.


I turned cranked the camera reset speed up to max and that's helped a lot. I have no idea why it's defaulted to such a low speed.

I cranked up the camera to max, and the sensitivity tanks when you're running and turning. It's stupid because at all other times it moves fast enough. It's frustrating.

Your mother is dead karl. STFU

anyways, I went Enforcer straight off the bat, then went into Commando instead of blast fencer

Holy poo poo I dislike commando a lot. I hope striker isn't as bad as this because so far it consists of backslash, some tp moves, and a sliding side attack.

I wanted to merge out the trees, and I feel gimped coming from enforcer. Sure, I do much more, but now I feel way too squishy, kind of like a rogue I guess.

I'm also kind of frustrated because all the drops I've been getting are much better than anything I can buy in the store, and I don't quite get the whole gear creation thing. Should I be doing that? seems like a waste of resources for stuff im just gonna swap out in 2 levels.

Also is 14~ too low for nocilum? I ended up fighting Goetia at 15 and poo poo was hard, way way harder than anything else I had been fighting. Could be that I wasn't doing the fight right, but most of the time I end up staring at my cooldowns while looking at my feet. Maybe that's a WoW thing?

So far I'm lvl 16 after 13 hours. Kind of annoyed how everything is so much higher level than me all over the place.

Terper posted:

Yes, you should be doing that.

No, it's not. You can go pretty much anywhere and find enemies suited to your level.

Have you been upgrading your arts and skills? With a few levels in upgrading them the cooldowns should be way less. It's also better to not just mash an art when it gets off cd and instead focus on finding the right opportunity to attack.

Yeah, I know that, I know about the double/triple cooldown thing for skills. Most of my skills are level 2-3 atm

I also can't find wherever these upgraded storefront items are going. To the left of the research station?

I'm really loving the improved combat from Xenoblade, but I'm worried when Skells are introduced.

Gear combat in Xenogears was worse than on foot, mech combat was terrible in Xenosaga 2/3. The later you got into those games, the more and more it focused on mechs and gameplay went to poo poo.

Whaoh no. I wanted to be in the mechs in xenosaga all game.
