Here's the reason to use
Dunban: he's a tank, just like Reyn. But rather than having high defense and taking a lot of damage, he absorbs aggro and has such a high agility that he dodges basically everything thrown at him, especially if you're good with levels and equip agility gems. Plus, his damage output is significantly better. He's a beast.
I think the maximum affinity thing is a smiling pink blob, though I may be wrong about that.

What I find with overleveling is I'll be overleveled one area. Then in the next area be about the right level due to having very little fights in the other area. Its nice to be able to go about quests and other things without engaging in battle all the time.
But then your equipment might start to lag due to not fighting anything.
and kind of want
The drawbacks are you end up spoiling
and of course general imbalance due to having some equips way too early (even if you don't level that much).
You're right but if you focus on (skill tree)
also don't forget to skill link
Defence depends on what you're fighting. Ether is magic based basically. Agility is both accuracy and evade so it is a very important stat for most of the cast.
You can see max affinity but looking at the skill tree and scrolling down. The symbol for max
. You can also use Gem crafting to kind of see your progess at the current affinity level (the number of turns goes up but 1 after some point its hard to explain really...).

Thanks for that, I just looked up the trick. I'm levelBennettt2 said:

to kill the Dark Hox (which it also works on) so I can continue rebuliding colong 6. Its only a few levels above me but I raely land hits on it and it likes to knock me off the platform
The drawbacks are you end up spoiling
your 7th party member by the loot that drops
Heavy Armour is iffy. Good defence, mediocre ether defence no gem equip slots (some come with pre-equiped gems though). Thing about Ryen is
you get a character thats practically as good at tanking
You're right but if you focus on (skill tree)
Wizdom you could go for no armour. But personally Agility up gems will surpass +30% for a long amount of the game and I'd rather the safety blanket of armour
Shulks equipment weight -5 skill

I think if you go through the effort of using this method than you're going to be aiming to imbalance the game to a certain extent anyways. I know I am.
:lol
I posted a video of how to do it on this page, if you haven't already found it yourself.

I need help with Colony 9. I can't find any new quests apparently. So far I have 4 stars and story-wise I just met a certain hero-pon, but no matter where and when I look, I can't seem to find new quests anymore Do I just need to progress in the story or should there still be some quests left?

I'm trying the
levelling trick, but I can't get it to work.
I hypnotise the enemy, but then my teammates auto-attack it and it wakes straight back up.
How do I stop them from doing that?

Quests unlock with story progress. Some quests also require others to be done and a few are multi-area.
Apparently you issue the run away command (hit down on the talent artes for the green symbol).CruxisMana said:

Question about a sidequest in colony 9:
I need to give a shield or sword to Emma (I think?) so she can beat a guy in a test. I found the shield and gave it to her but she lost and now she hates me... Can't find her anywhere and I lost 3 stars affinity with colony 9 Was it better to give her the sword and if so, can you pick up the sword after you found the shield? I have a savefile from before I gave her the shield but I already picked it up...

I'm trying it too. You have to use the ZR button along with down on the d-pad to get your teammates to 'follow' you and temporarily stop attacking.
Edit: Yep. After about 30 tries, that's how I did it. The problem is getting it close enough to the ledge...
Okay, so I put an hour and a half into the game so far. First impressions:
Graphics - Looks so much better without FLV compression. Also appreciate the full 640x480 framebuffer. Looks reasonably sharp on my TV because of it. Though at the moment I'm failing to understand why the detailing on the characters is so inconsistent. Some characters are noticeably more detailed then others, which is very jarring to see in cutscenes.
Music - Soooo good.
Gameplay - Nothing too exciting yet. Battle system seems more engaging and hands on then your typical MMORPG battle system which I definitely appreciate.
Story - So far so good. I can definitely see why people like the characters. The dialogue has a very believable flow to it and characters behave and react like real people would (most of the time). I'll definitely be interested to see how things pick up.

I'm useless at it...

The technique:
Target the lvl 78 Gogol.
Lure it and while you're running to the cliff, select Hypnotize.
When it gets close to the cliff, hit Hypnotize and immediately hold ZR and down on the d-pad.
Get in position, let go of ZR/down, and quickly select the Spear and hit it.

If it isn't possible to play it via Dolphin, the best way to play Xenoblade is on an old CRT, which unfortunately brings it own share of problems.Diffense said:
I like the looks of Xenoblade, but it's one of the Wii games that would have benefitted from additional horsepower the most. I can't wait for what Monolith delivers on the Wii U.

Using the sword would achieve the same (the vision showed you it was poisoned this comes as a shock to her and she doesn't trust you or anyone...) as far as it goes. Apparently she is hiding where Otharon was in the Ether mines. An endgame sidequest with
Miller
resolve this pot line.
The shield route is delivering a letter(?) and the sword route is some sort of investigation(?)
As for the affinity
I'm sure you get it back by talking to people and buliding up links. Did it actually go from 3 stars to 2 stars. The Japanese webpage says you gain x000 rep points (can't rembmer is x is 3 or 5) for doing the quest anyway so I'm wondering if it is a missing negative symbol there
Then the text and HUD are a mess (as you get image compression artefacts* all over them making them blurred). The only thing you can really do is sit far away. I sit about 1.5 metres away from a 23 inch monitor and it looks a bit rough in places but acceptable.Diffense said:
Also, I made sure sharpness was as low as possible.
*-Thats what composite does I think. Compresses colour info into one wire so whenever a colour changes you'll get a mess...I think its something to do with waveforms.

This I find really strange, cause the least detailed character is the main character shulk(his face)
my party for story is
shulk(you need his monado in the story most of the time)
reyn(tons of health, takes the agro from the team, has a strong thrust move and oh its reyn time)
sharla (healer)
hard quests battles
dunban(great topple move)
reyn(shield bash to daze foes)
sharla(healer)

Ah k thanks. The affinity didn't drop from 3 stars to 2 stars, it's just that instead of gaining affinity for completing the quest, I lost 3 "stars". Never had that before so I thought I picked a wrong choice

It gets easier to perform the more you do it, and the experience you get remarkably increases as you get closer to its level. I'd be interested in the math behind the experience calculations in the game and the rationale for this system.
I'm just very used to the fixed EXP systems of Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy.

I just watched the Xenoblade trailer on my newly bought 3DS. With that I've probably exhausted all the good content the 3DS has to offer.
