I'm finally finished. I was really impressed
This game looked amazing when it was able to (i.e. not rendering a gigantic landscape)
I don't know if anyone else was looking for it,
Towards the end
It was a masterpiece of a game, though, an I am looking forward to a NG+, just not immediately.
I'm finally finished. I was really impressed
when walking around in space. Very cool.
I don't know if anyone else was looking for it,
but I was still waiting for an explanation about the spaceship stuck in Tephra Cave, from which you retrieve the ether cylinders. Did they forget about this? Given the things revealed at the end I'm figuring that it was just something left from the previous civilization before Zanza destroyed the world. But I was also under the impression that everything was erased and Zanza/Mayneth created the Bionis and Mechonis afterwards.
Towards the end
I got exhausted on quests and just ended up rushing through. I'm definitely not a quest completionist. I think I probably ended at 80 hours played and that took me from August 18th until today, so I was really done.

I didn't read all of the conversation here, but if you're complaining about Japanese writing constantly saying someone's name, that is the translator's fault. People almost never say "you" in Japanese and instead say the person's name. A proper localization and translation would replace most of those with "you" in English.

85hours, at the end now. It really does tell you about the point of no return. 
Is level 78 strong enough?

Egil
Alvis but now Dickson's role has gradually become more questionable as well. Egil is pretty cool but then again so are all of the character designs of the Machina.

The track Tragic Decision is really amazing, especially once it gets going.
Plays during one of the final bosses in the game so don't spoil it by listening to it now!

Yeah.
Endgame spoilers:
That's why I say Shulk's general wishy-washiness and inability to "believe in himself" makes sense
in retrospect. He was dead: Zanza's ragdoll. The very fact that he retained a sense of self at all was a miracle. That wasn't the case for the giant.

Just finished the Prison Island section. goddamn, I predicted that twist regarding (characters)

Geeze, I just got to THAT twist after the Lv 70 bosses. That was pretty crazy. I ended up playing for like an extra hour because of that. Long cutscenes too, part of it was interrupted but I still got the gist of it. I hate it when that happens.
Anybody know if there is a list of where to get Intermediate Art Books? I know there is a list for Advanced ones from unique monsters, but there are a couple arts I really want to level up but can't get the advanced books for yet. Specifically two for the final character -

Figure I know one way to get them but I can't do that yet.

Uhm. I need some help. End boss.
Zanza. How for the love of all that is holy can you beat him? I'm level 78 and trying my hardest, but always get my ass handed to me. And I can't go back and grind so I'm stuck?

More Xenosaga-ish/Xenogears-ish references in Xenoblade:
The importance of will power. The Monado is limited to the will of the user.
And obviously the reverse-KOS-MOS-ing (minor vague spoiler)

ha.
And you can't save it either. So I have to level up and go do all that all over again? They should at least let you save.

Just finished it, awesome is all I can say. Story und drama really picks up the last 4-5 hours.
Definetly the best JRPG this Gen, and one of my all time favorites now.

Now for some endgame content

@RPGCrazied:
I also was level 78. Just kill the adds really quick and Shield at the right times. My setup was Dunban (Tank), Sharla and Shulk
And use your Chainattacks at the adds. After the adds are dead save the chain attacks for emergency heals

Man I know that situation,RPGCrazied said:
I was either level 77 or 78 when doing that, kept getting my ass kicked. Eventually I won after I persevered with Shulk, Riki and Dunban as my team.
So it is doable but it takes effort and a fair bit of luck, two things though...
1. When you respawn after death you keep the status of your chain attack/reviving bar. You can use this to your advantage if you keep losing, starting off a fight with a hard hitting chain attack is handy stuff.
2. It goes without saying but upgrade monado shield so you don't get wrecked.
Aside from that just keep going at it, there is one move which can crap all over the entire team if I remember correctly and it can't be stopped, man that one pissed me off.

Ok, I had gotten to the end several days ago (at level 85) and decided to bail so I could finish upgrading
, fill in all of the area maps, kill any outstanding uniques, finish quests, explore the new areas, and complete the collectapedia and get the final
for each character.
Currently I'm at level 97, which is obviously way overleveled for the final fight. But a question: does the game lock you out of your save after the final boss and prompt you to start a new game plus, or can you still roam around and take care of things afterwards? Because if so, I may have gotten a little too eager.

Sadly it locks you out, but the point of no return is cleary mentioned.

Yay! It took forever, but I finally got it! Amazon.it came through!
My personal timeline to get this game: preordered from Zavvi on July 5th, shipped on August 15th, declared lost on September 9th, money refunded and reordered from Amazon on the 12th, shipped on the 14th, and delivered on the 29th.
And the adventure has just begun!

Victrix is streaming the game from the beginning if anyone is interested in watching!

so what level do I need to be to destroy the last boss? I don't want to level up just a few times and get stuck, and have to redo all that over.
78 was already hard enough. 85?

Lol. I won't be getting that high. Even thinking about 85 is something I really don't want to do.
Where do I level on 80+ stuff?

Thanks, going to go level up now. I gave up trying.

Sorry, I tagged it just now. At least you don't know the context of it. Trust me, what I said is so insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
But yeah, I was exactly level 80 when I beat the game and it wasn't too tough, but it wasn't a push over either. It was a pleasant challenge.

Good to see the game running on a Samsung though.
When it gets here I can see it in person...if It gets here.
