I name no names. But he had two copies. Knew all about my story, and was really nice about the whole thing.
I bow down to him.

Ok so i'm about 20 hours in and i've decided to go back to colony 9 because I should get some affinity I guess? I'm at 1 star with everywhere ugh I dont want to do this lol.
And I'm speaking to desiree and shes talking about her father like she always does and
And I'm speaking to desiree and shes talking about her father like she always does and
she mentions her dads shop was xords armour or something... is he THE XORD??
So I decided enough was enough with coaxing Desiree into giving me that quest and decided to press on
with the story. I'm getting good at calling when the System Saves are going to happen, I can practically count down from 10 with it now. Calling the twists, though... not so much. (Level 60-ish story spoilers)
Also, the game is very good at irony. I've been grinding for (big character and small skill spoiler)
Xenoblade has a good sense of comedic timing some times.
and on and on and ON!
Zanza isn't daed. Called it. Zanza was the one who busted up Mechonis, not Bionis. Uh, okay? Also Totally-not-Alvis told Shulk to find the True Monado. I smell a shonen powerup scene (And a Monado III) in my near future! I hope Fiora gets some Lady Menayth (or how that's spelled) powers for use in battle. Whatever it is she does with her eyes, it's very effective.

Shulk's fourth skill tree for a few days, but then I get a random quest in Hidden Village and suddenly Fiora has her fourth.

He even posted in this thread saying that he'd give you the copy if you never got yours, since he ended up getting two. Look it up!RPGCrazied said:

Ok so the fapping can stop, I'm the one who sold 1 of my copies to Rpgcrazied my BF and I each ordered a copy from (banned site - but they got my copies to me in like 10 days, it was crazy), and he does not *need* his anymore (was more to support the release of the game in an english speaking region). I've kept up with this thread since the game came out, and just couldn't take seeing the TORTURE RPG was going through on this. We mulled it over for a couple days and finally decided to sell him 1 of our copies.
Hope you like it (you're gonna LOVE it, promise!)

:b new to inporting you know what we feel like now all them other times it be other way around
About 12-13 hours in now, although I feel like I haven't progressed very far in the story since I've just been wandering around exploring, doing quests and such. Walking into a level 70 monster was was a bit crazy though, interesting that they would put such high level monsters in early areas.
One thing I really like about this game is that the areas actually look and feel unique. It seems like in each area there are plenty of cool locals to check out if you feel like exploring. Often times in open world games like Fallout 3/New Vegas there is very little to actually see when you want to explore, so its nice to see that while the game world is expansive it doesn't feel like I am constantly looking at the exact same scenery.

Not to be a debbie downer, but isn't that little creature thing a spoiler?
Unless someone's been on a media blackout, [late game spoilers]:
Everyone is creating such nice armor combos and using sets. Most of my people look like they're wearing Halloween costumes gone horribly wrong.
all the permanent characters have been pictured in promotional art for two years

Has anyone (in the U.S.) that preordered from Zavvi gotten their copy? (Meaning your order shipped out on August 15.) Several people who ordered around a week later got their copies, but many (all?) people who preordered seem to still be waiting. Did their entire first shipment to the U.S. get misplaced?

Well I guess even Xenoblade has to have one annoying character. Thanks Riki.
I've put another 5 hours of this game, on my way to
now.
I've spent the previous 7 or 8 hours of the game doing those timed quests. Before progressing and getting
. Once I progressed with the story, all my characters seemed to be in the -correct- level. Does the rest of the game work in the same way? Where completing near all the side quests puts you in the appropriate level against mid bosses and bosses?

Can Riki be used as a tank at any point? I'm still wondering why he has so much HP.

i think it's randomized but fixed in your playthrough. because i told a friend about some orbs in the area i found but it was different when he got there.Feep said:

I thought they were limited by area (maybe even by section - e.g., you'll only find items on certain floors), but there was still an element of chance, with some items being rarer than others? I got a Kneecap Rock somewhere near the Arachnos (and I definitely had to make a pass or two through the cave to find it, along with Steel Silk), so I'd think it'd be in more than one location. Although, when I went looking for a Chewy Radish for a quest (and I hadn't picked up one in all the time I'd run around in the beginning of the game), I eventually found one at the mech. wreckage site, which was the only part of Colony 9 I hadn't revisited.
Am about 20 hours in, level 36 or so, just got Melia. I read earlier posts saying she eventually becomes a powerhouse with certain skills, but how is she when you first get her? Am thinking of using her instead of Sharla, but Sharla's the only decent healer at this point. And it seems like Reyn may eventually outgrow his usefulness? But then I'll miss his "Reyn Time!" shouts and his puppy-dog "Sharla! Did you see that?"
