^ When you get those new characters IIRC, the in-game list will update the details for any that you've gone over to and selected view on.
That one might be too. One way to figure it out is to look at the music directory (or whatever it'll be called) of the game and see if it is in there, which I'll be doing when I'm done with the game.
There is at least one unused track on the OST. Disc 2 track 6 (Hope) for sure.bubnbob said:

You can consume a bar of your Party Meter by hitting B next to an ally and then using one of their moves. For example, you could maybe warn Sharla and then command her to heal you so as to avoid dying from too much damage. Basically the warning gives you time to either get the enemy to change targets, heal for more than the damage, shield against the damage, or possibly topple/daze the enemy.

the visions are premonitions. most of the time you can adequatley prepare by using Shulks "Shield" Art in order to form a protective shell around you and your party. As long as the enemies attack level is the same level as the the Shield Art you will suffer less damage. Of course, youre going to have to utilize the Art and prep yourself and party before that white bar depletes (enemy attack timer) at the top of the screen
There are several ways to counter a vision. If it's a talent art (white text), you can counter it using Monado Shield. If it's a physical attack, use Monado Speed. If it's something else, use Monado Armour. Those are the straight forward solutions. You can also counter any vision using a break->topple->daze combo. Other than that, you can try to redirect enemy aggro, heal the expected target or use Sharla's shield art - there is no single correct way.Hi2u said:
Levels in the 40s with about 45 some hours logged. I am only in Makna Forest currently being overwhelmed with endless quests in the giant tree. This game is so ridiculously addictive. It's impossible, for me anyway, to proceed with the story without checking out all the side stuff first. The game is just too constantly rewarding to rush through.
The Skill system in this game is so good too. I cannot stress the fact how great the battle system is because of the differentiation between the characters. Each character's Skill Tree is so unique. Skill Linking is really awesome too. There is so much customization opportunity between a character's default skills and the ones you can link from others. I also LOVE how there is basically a limit to how many skills you can link from a character. This way when everyone is maxed out in the end the characters are still differentiated because you can only equip up to 5 skills from other party members (granted you have enough Affinity Coints). It's so beyond perfect.
Oh, and Gaur Plains during a thunderstorm and the Makna Forest waterfalls are just...so...beautiful.

Well obviously it's randomized, but you get at least either demonic everflame or veritas glyph, a rank V crystal with Daze Up and Daze Plus, and some gear like the Glory set.bubnbob said:

50%ish if you've completed it.
Well that was an interesting twist. (Level 50-55 story spoiler, BIG story spoiler)
So how long do I have left, storywise? I'd guess I'm at the 70-75% mark, but I'm not sure.
Yay! Got Fiora back! Huh, she's a robot now? That raises a lot of questions, some I doubt I should ask. Still, Fiora's back, and that's nice. Got the team back together, too, all seven of us. And where am I now? Well, let's just say the game lent me a hand. Then I met the Machina. "We are the Machina, the people of Mechonis." On that bombshell, it's time to take a break for today.

I really can't find the motivation to play any more all of a sudden...
I can't believe an NPC spoiled like half of the game for me. Now I know where do faced Mechons come from probably dozens of hours before it's unveiled through the story.
BIG SPOILERS!
BIG SPOILERS!
Yes, that stupid Desiree mentioned her father in a random not-mission related conversation, who disappeared the previous year and ta-da! He was exactly the same name as the faced Mechon I just battled a couple of hours before in the Ether mines and that talked something about the "conversion proccess" or something like that. Now I'm sure I will have to battle Gadolt and Fiora mechons somewhere down the line
Well, I'm about
hours in at level 45 and the next area I'm supposed to tackle is S
.
But HUGE chunks of the last three areas remain unexplored and several quests remain to be done.
So as much as I want to know what will happen next, I am taking a break from advancing the main story to focus on loose ends.
It's amazing that I already have so many gameplay hours while not being completely thorough.
In other news, that lizard in Mag Mell STILL hasn't respawned for me to complete the quest while several uniques I beat after him have,.
At this point, I feel like I've stumbled on a bug that'll make it impossible to get 100% but I'll keep checking.

The Glory set doesn't drop exclusively on him, he's but one of the monster that you can get them from.bubnbob said:
It's really a matter of taste if you consider this the best getup or not, it's exclusively a U set, and thus you can't choose the gems to put on it. Of course what is on the parts is really good but you can get better gems with crafting, though the stats are quite good.
I used the Lancelot set (except for Glory gauntlets that come with Haste 45%), slightly worse stats but it's a S set so I can choose whatever gems I want.
So if you want pictures of them, there one of the Japanese wikis I use that has them :
http://xenobladedata.web.fc2.com/data/equip_list.html
Just search for ランスロット (Lancelot) or グローリー (Glory) and click on the name. SPOILERS obviously for anyone not far enough in the game.
Mentioned it in another thread, forgot to mention it here. If you got a 120Hz/200Hz capable TruMotion/MotionFlow whatever TV, try turning that setting on. Usually it looks horrible on any game but it makes Xenoblade run super smooth on my TV. I also dont notice any input lag (yes, I know, there probably is some lag but I seriously never thought about the game "lagging"). Doesnt cost anything, try it if your TV can do it, maybe its improving for you too.
Just thought I'd mention it because of another Gaffer who had the same with Xenoblade on his TV.

Wonderful, the game keeps surprising me with the story, and here I thought I had it figured out. It even makes be guess wrong about the details of things I knew was going to happen. Either I'm getting rusty at that, or the game is good at misdirection. Which, considering that the protagonistbubnbob said:
can see into the future and major plot points are shown hours in advance
the vision where you see Fiora's mech fall into the abyss, you'd have pulled her out of it before it fell, so yes, her mech would fall, but she wouldn't.
I did not expect Shulk to dive after it with a busted Monado, sharply followed by an exploding fortress. Shulk's mad some times.
Looking over the arts of
Fiora, I can't remember exactly what her deal is. She looks a lot like Shulk in arts, as in get the enemy to turn away from her and they're in trouble, but what's this with drones now? I'm having a little trouble figuring her into a team, but I'll give it a few shots. I think she'll be great at big single targets.
Ah, well. Enough Xenoblade for today. You know, I still wonder why the game is called "Xenoblade", I mean I get that it's to look like it's related to the other Xeno games, but does that word ever come up in the game?

I'm currently adventuring in the swamp, taking my time and loving it. My god this game is so damn amazing and impressive. Im still so blown away at how great this game is, and how everything else I've played on the wii up till now has been mediocre.
This game along with Demon Souls as of now are the best thing ive ever seen this generation to come to consoles.
NOA you still boggle the shit out of me. Give this game some advertising and bring it state side so many people need to experience this game.

People keep saying that the name doesn't make sense, but I think it does in a fairly obvious way:
The Monado is a blade.
The Monado is of foreign origin.
Hence, Xenoblade.
Finished the game!
Took me
hours and Shulk was at level
at the end. Overall a good game with many flaws. I enjoyed it quite a lot (wouldn't have played for so long otherwise anyway), but there are large stretches where the game feels like a chore.
Also, the story reminded me so much of

So I found some people in the Residential District looking at a weird light moving around on the surface of the water at night, but when I jump in to take a closer look, it disappears.

was unnecessary... I took on a level 53 unique monster on

has an upward of 7000-ish HP! Sort of surprised while everyone else except Reyn were on 3000-3500 range on similar levels. Is he a good character...? I dislike using 'mascot'-type characters though :\ In fact, it would be much better if he did not tagging along with the party...., ah well.
So what part is your ultimate team, GAF, and how do you guys set them up?
