Thanks @ mc lem and Blazing Darkness. I actually didn't realize that Bionis' Leg has
, that's why I've never seen Spiral Valley on the map.
But even then, it's easy to miss. That "boss" is tiny.

dont try to do every single side quest, it will wear you out. play it like a MMO: get a bunch of quests, go out, explore, kill monsters.RPGCrazied said:So if I get this today(I seriously doubt it.
If you already have enough for a future quest, then you'll get a vision when you pick up the last item. Otherwise, you won't know. Honestly, so far I've just been selling all unused equipment and weapons instead.arit said:

I think the problem is, he is partly right and so are you. Theres a sizable amount of no-named NPC quests, which have very little story to them and you're just killing or finding stuff. On the other hand, the named npc quests tend to have quite a bit of story to them, but depending on where you are, they're often in fewer numbers than the no-named npc ones.wrowa said:
I was surprised to see many, many TV ads for the game in France.Jaded Alyx said:
But I don't understand Nintendo, I went on the launch day to shop for the game, three shops were out of stock, and most of the others didn't have the bundle (I bought the last one in a my 5th store, and saw none of them in subsequent stores, except the one in the supermarket near my house). All sellers said that the game had a very short allocation, which seems stupid with many TV ads...

Got (party members/locations)
Got a million new quests to do though, so I'm going to spend tomorrow completing them before I move on to the next boss. The Nopon sure do have a blood lust.
Melia and Riki today, but I practically ran straight through Makna Forest to get to the SUPER CUTE FUZZY Nopon Frontier Village (in which I gained 3 levels just wandering around), so I haven't seen any of them in combat yet. Even Riki's initial stats are high. I do want to try out the Dunban/Melia/Riki combination, but with the addition of the Spike system I image that I'm going to need Shulk and the Monado for at least the rest of Makna Forest. So I'm torn between which of the 3 to use alongside Shulk... Edging towards Melia/Shulk/Riki at the moment.
I did however swap Dunban for Reyn for a little bit and it definitely shows that you don't need a high-HP tank for everything. Although Dunban has much lower HP by comparison, even in his starter equipment he was still dishing out the damage quickly and avoiding a lot of attacks.

I don't get the relationship between the Makna Forest and the Esomething Sea though. The sea is directly above the forest? How does that work?

Does anyone know of someone who will trade a Sirius Anemone? They can be found in Colony 6
My crystal inventory is completely full. I guess I'll do some gem crafting for a while
That item can fuck itself, I spend about an hour running back and forth to colony 6 to find it Tried trading about every NPC I could meet and none of them had it Ended up finding one on a platform right of the entrance to the colony base... And I still need one to complete the collectopaedia :/

But would Nopons be as adorable as they are if you yourself was one? That's not a risk I'm willing to take.
Decided to break the mold and try out a different party instead of the typical 3
Shulk/Riki/Melia is working pretty well, the lack of a proper healer is made up for by how fast things tend to die. Though the forest boss was a little on the tough side

i completely agree. i was just saying, dont overdo them when you are just starting out. you can always come back later during story breaks.wrowa said:
Just so they can twist the knife even more. I like that all the great reviews just makes NoA look worse and worse. Good sales again helps as well. If I didn't have issue ordering I would most likely have the game now but can't be bothered it seems to give my bank a heads up and let the order go through. Just annoyed. That an I have this false hope that NoA will pull it's head out of it's ass or NCL will force it out for them and make them release the game.Bulzeeb said:
After the 3DS the Wii U will most likely be coming later rather then sooner. So that means the Wii's life has to be extended. They can either release games to lead into the Wii U or do what they've done before and release nothing. That NCL and NoE have decided to release games makes me hope, maybe pointlessly, that NCL will make NoA release games.
Amazon.co.uk only has one copy of Xenoblade left in stock for all of you guys looking to get in on that.

NCL should've mandated its release to begin with...
Also I just checked Nintendo's Facebook, seems the whole campaign is still going on lol.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
365Games has not yet shipped my copy. I am not pleased. Last time I shop with them that's for sure.

Is the platform at Hope Farm?
Bel Marduk said:
Very true. There is no reason why any major game form the platform owner shouldn't be pushed out in all areas. That NCL didn't mandate this when it has a design style geared toward western gamers still makes no sense at all to me. If it was a budget game then yeah I could understand them not putting out. This a major 1st party title.
If I can work out my payment issues I'm not going to double dip and get an American release if it happens to come though.
I think they've all but said a few weeks ago that they were ignoring their Facebook page.

I'm not as far as some other people (around 17 hours now) and I think it's fantastic.
Each character has a different accent and they all manage to pull it off.

Voice acting is good in cutscenes and the like but there is too much talking in battles for my liking, especially because it repeats the same stuff over and over again, I never understand why a lot of JRPG's do this.

I like the tension between (characters/accents)
Reyn and Melia over the differences between his relatively common accent and her BBC English. And Reyn's taking the piss out of the way Riki speaks/acts.
