Finally got Intergalactic Phoenix 50. I think I just farmed every single puge and puglith drop to 99 jesus.

I was aggro training two full bases for 50+ enemies, the game was not happy.

I actually got one of those from my first drop >.>

I read about it on Reddit and decided "oh, I'll give that a go. Seems it took this guy a day to get the Phoenix and the Sword, better load up some youtube videos" and then got the Phoenix after I nuked them all the first time.

I'm assuming Monolith will take the Dragon's Dogma approach - a MMO, followed by a PC port of the original game once the period of timed exclusivity expires.]

Nintendo owns monolith.

Man, who thought that car noise was a good idea....

Dude, no shit.

please tell me there's a better way to get savage sketches for the off the record quest...

What's Intergalactic Phoenix 50?

Its one of the most powerful area of effect weapons in the game before you get Super Weapons. It clears out low level enemies in a cast.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Just reached Biological Level 5
I wish I had a list for L5 treasures that was a pain to achieve

 

[Dineren]

I've been fast traveling to 515 in Cauldros and running in circles. As far as I know that is the fastest.

 

[El Odio]

This game evokes a similar feeling of Civ's "just one more turn" mentality in me. I tell myself I should stop but then it's like, just after one more quest, a few more enemy kills, once ____ levels up etc. It's too damn good.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I'm probably in my own head about this, but if I switch classes and sub a weapon out, am I earning less class points or the same?

Is that the huge ball of fire I keep seeing used online? If so, where should I be farming?

Puges in general drop it. So just kill all puges. I was farming in Cauldros in the bases where there are tons of close together enemies.

And yes, that is the weapon.

Now I am making an untouchable Urban. I'm up to 300 Eva, lol, without any optimization.

So lets talk about the ending a bit.

Spoiler

Didn't like how a whole lot of plot was shoved into the last chapter. Would have loved to uncover a bit of the Samarian prophecy earlier on. The whole gangleon motivation in general was pretty weak but not terrible or anything. Also Loa needed more scenes, I think we were supposed to care for him a lot more than I actually did. Sure he lost his family to an unfair system but he was literally going to "Kill" all remaining humans because of it and the game expects me to forgive him because of his sad story. Even when he came back playing the good guy I didn't much like him (and now I'm a little pissed he comes back in the end credits).

Spoiler

Overall I enjoyed the ending we got. The lifestream twist was pretty alright and poses a good philosophical question. But my favorite twist was at the end where it's revealed that their old consciousness were destroyed but they arent dead because of the planet somehow. Which echos a question from chapter 5 I think, which is why all the alien races can communicate with each other in thier own tongue. Quite interesting. Of course it's a little sequel baitey but I'm okay with it. In the next game I just hope we get stronger storytelling (and a less bullshit final series of bosses).

Tied with bloodborne for my Game of the Year though.

If I look at the map and I go to 516 which direction is 515?

just got this quest too

 

[Beats]

There isn't lol. Fast travel to 515 and get the ones nearby then there's also bunch of collectables in the waters east of the location.

The site numbers go up when going down the column and going left to right.

Lol, first base I found with purges dropped the Phoenix for me. Based drop rates.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Decided to look at my art book more while I'm at the laundrymaat, man, these super complex looking dragons must be world bosses or super bosses.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

3/6 come on got to sleep

 

[Admiral Woofington]

finally got the level 5 mech skill

finished all of the probes in every map. Done for the day.

 

[Auto_aim1]

They usually spawn near 515 around the slope. Don't go near the big Xe-Dom mech. It took me around an hour though, it really, really sucks.

[TheMoon]

uh guys, I went to the link in the OT title and well...

buying wii u and this game ASAP

SUCCESS!

 

[It's Reyn Time!]

Does anyone have a good spot to level from 48-50? I have level 50 Skell patiently waiting in the hanger for me.

Also what are people naming their Skells? I heard about the Ares the same day I got my first Skell and decided to run with that name scheme. So far my Skell Pantheon is made up of Aphrodite, Apollo, Persephone, Zeus, Hera and Poseidon.

 

[Vena]

Welp.

Barrage-Cloak is straight out of Gundam. 1500 fuel per use, beam spam.

lol

 

[TheMoon]

How are you guys taking bigger screenshots? Mine keep coming out like 600 x 400 or something.

How do yoy take screen shots on the Wii U?

I've never taken a screen shot on any console ever.

Reminder that a how-to guide for this is in the OP's FAQ.

 

[KittenMaster]

That looks like what Psycho Gundam does, just random very thin beams all over the place.

 

[Delio]

So got my Skell License. I should go for the last Skell on the list right?

 

[TheMoon]

Not sure if serious.

Nintendo owns MonolithSoft. This is a Nintendo game. There'll never be a PC port. Also, Takahashi said he wants to make a more story-focused game like the first Xenoblade again next if they let him.

 

[black_clavus]

So, how you guys know where's the exact node / location for numbering like 112, 202, or 333, something like that. FrontierNav are numbered like that but didn't find that number for other node/location

 

[Super Stardust]

I wish I can disable the skell flying music.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

what does Lyla’s Galdr look like?

 

[R.D.Blax]

Boo you!

Just when I got curious and decided to get a Phoenix, I got it on my 2nd try lol

what does Lyla’s Galdr look like?

It's one of these skell with floating part. But he only appear sometime, the other time it's just a common Galdr in it place

 

[MrPanic]

Like a regular galdr?

This post should help you.

I dont think golnei is ever serious

 

[ivysaur12]

The Enemy Index has some really fascinating stuff on the different Ganglion races.

Why does a level 60 piece of gear have Exp Boost XV on it...

lol

btw, what's a good grinding spot for lvl. 30-40? Have Skells but not the flight module. I think someone mentioned the south coast Cauldros awhile back?

 

[desu]

Btw, the Joker is also a pretty good way to level up your classes.

I actually prefer Caesar, the Hundred-Eyed in the Lava Cave of Primordia (Tyrant 68). He drops Skell Wear helmet with XV+ Fuel Bind. Such a good item.

ran out of fuel as soon as I got it

 

[Macapala]

I jumped down a bottomless pit with my skell. I didn't realise that would destroy it. Fuck...

Is there a way to influence the weather?

Most of the cutscene was fine, but all of the impact it builds up is lost because of how it ends - the NLA music can instantly deflate any amount of anticipation.

Spoiler

Apparently, Hope's mission doesn't have a chapter requirement, so you could theoretically have done that and heard the line about mimeosome bodies being unable to conceive, which would have given away everything. Still, I agree the handling of it wasn't the most deft - it reminded me a little of the way Faces were depicted in the first game as mute for the opening act, and wouldn't shut up afterwards - or how Egil is conveniently always seen in Yaldabaoth until you run into the Machina.

oh GOD
THINK OF THE MODS
THINK OF IT
just Mod the Gundams, Xenogears, and any other mechs in
