Random numbers update
I've got
sidequests activated, of which
are completed. The remaining ones I can't complete yet because of high level mobs/area can't be reached yet
Affinity is
so seems like there's lots more to come! 
I've got
103
99
Affinity is
4 stars for colony 9 and 2 starts for colony 6
About the 25/30fps thing...from what I'm reading, the native framerate of the game for the PAL version is still 25fps...what does that mean for audio/timing issues? Is there one version of the game that will be more correct than the other?
edit: might just be a Dolphin issue...maybe I'll have to just play this on my Wii instead. =\

I'm 9 hours in and I'm not even that far. I'm also level 20 and I just got to the
camp.
I imagine the game paces itself under the idea that you'll complete at least some quests and try and get better gear.
Some of those pictures are great. I'd love to see some video of this. It's like the corrupted levels in the .hack games.

Don't bother with it. Yes, the game runs @ 25 FPS but it certainly doesn't feels like it. Very smooth.TheExodu5 said:
Relax and enjoy the game.

I am a huuuuge framerate nut. Anyways, it seems running the Dolphin version at 120% speed (30fps) matches the Japanese version.
Otherwise, I'm hearing of a crackling audio issue...hopefully the issue is solved by someone by the time I get the game, or hopefully my overclocked i5 can pull through it regardless.

Doesn't seem to be. I can't say for certain as I don't have exact recording equipment but looks like locked 30 to me.
Is it actually running at a lower FPS than the original version? Really may wait until the end of the year to be sure before deciding to/not to import then. It's not a big enough deal to pass over it entirely, but there's still a vague chance of it coming here and I'd rather that die out (or be completely impractical to hold out on) first.

Apparently the clock limit has been removed for the PAL version of the game

Side note, but did you ever get your GameFAQs thing sorted out? That was a pretty absurd reason to ban you over there.
Also, two more questions about the game: is the only purpose of Burst Affinity to increase the chain gauge, or are there other stat increases/benefits?
And I saw a video where someone killed two of the same type of enemy, but they killed one during a chain attack and got more EXP/AP/SP. Do you get extra points for killing during a chain attack or is that because of a skill?

Can anyone tell me what Sharla's Heat Bullet does exactly? I know it's supposed to raise "tension", but whenever I apply it on a party member I see absolutely no visual cue that it's doing anything.

Yeah but what IS tension?

One last question regarding "hacking my wii".
Sorry.
Rather than use a USB stick to load the Xenoblade ISO onto it once I get it...can I just use my portable hard drive that connects through USB?

Hawt.
Now all I need to do is wait for the game to arrive. Not sure who said it but he was right...waiting for the game to arrive might actually be the worst part of going through all this.

Basically, the higher your tension, the higher your critical rate and chain attack damage is. If your portrait is on fire, your character has high tension.
On the other hand, if you have low tension, you miss more often. Low Tension has your portrait sulking.
Reading the reviews and watching a bunch of videos this game seems a lot like FF12. To the people who have played/are playing it would you say my assumption is correct? FF12 is one of my favorite rpgs and I'm still debating whether or not to pick it up. If this were available in NA I'd pick it up right away. But I'm unsure about importing and modding when another rpg (Deus Ex) is coming out next week and I can just drop by a store to grab it.

Are these arriving from theHut or Zavvi yet? I've been out of town, but will pick up bulk mail Monday afternoon. Hopefully have something to play for a day before classes start.

Yeah I did upgrade it to level 4. I guess it increases tension but so far I haven't seen my guy's facial portrait change when I cast it on him. Oh well.
artwalknoon said:
It's like FFXII but with a much tighter battle system IMO, and an even bigger world to explore and more stuff to do.
Also, the story is arguably better than FFXII.
(I'm 19 hours into Xenoblade... and I never finished FFXII to be fair)
Cool thanks. The gambit system in FF12 was not great so its good to here the combat is better in Xenoblades. I still can't quite convince myself to get this game but I am inching ever closer to doing so. The problem is I really want the collector's edition but that's like $90 US.xtrasauce said:

Tension isn't just "bloop - you're on fire" - you have to build it up. It increases when you do the Burst Affinity, or those random B button presses, help your partner, etc.
Heat Bullet just speeds up the process. I ditched the skill since I'd rather set something that is more useful in battle.

The thread title gets tarnished because one guy asks a crazy question? Ugh.

Right, but I thought it was the thin yellow line by each character's icon. I know the big orange line is XP, so what is the yellow line then?

It really wasn't one guy. There were several posts that were frankly skating on thin ice.mattiewheels said:
That said, I say let them get banned and learn a lesson. Change the title to something awesome!
