The menu in the barracks that controls the colours and stuff. It's in there. It lets you assign skells to different characters (Eventually they can all have one)
Very cool. I'm getting Xenogears vibes all over again

I need to find Elephant's Nail or something in Noctilum to fix a helicopter. I've travelled a ton of Noctilum to no avail.
A spherical EM motor.
Area Discovered: Vitriol Cesspool. Well doesn't that sound lovely. At least it's pretty!

I finished chapter 5 last night, and I gotta saythat "twist" was clumsy as all hell. They clearly designed the cutscene with your arm getting ripped off and revealing the robotics to be shocking, only for the characters' explanation to just be "Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you about that, NBD."
Rewatch the conversation at the end of the previous chapter with the higher ups.The characters obviously were talking about the twist like it was common knowledge.

Curators get 5 BLADE points per blue collectible. I switched to this Division for that reason.
Wait WHAT!?
Is this for adding entries to the colleectpedia or just getting collectables on the field. Is their a limit in the case for the latter.
Cause this would solve any BP worries I have and make gathering quests worthwhile (not as boring) if you are a curator.

So you have to get to level 30 to use any skells except the starter? Looks like it's a bit of a wait for me then. At least I can save up, I can only afford one mid-sized one right now.

How do I take control of Elma for example?

I'm not sure how best to level up all the characters... I just got access to like 3 or 4 new ones after finishing Mission 4. I hate to switch out Elma and Lin because they are the "main" characters and I don't want them to fall behind, but I would like to be able to do the affinity quests for some of the others, so I feel like I should use them some, too. I'm a bit annoyed they don't level when out of party.
How much of this game is PSO like? I have been looking for a PSO similar game for a while.
Huge/scale landscapes are not impressive at all when they are made of primitive geometry and little to no dynamic objects with the same primitive geometry. Huge landscapes can be done by both lastgen platforms, that's a no brainer. Ever heard of assets streaming? Streaming system allows you to make the world pretty much of any size, you're limited only by disk space. Problems occur when you want to make it alive - add croud simulation, traffic, weather, night/day cycle, physics. That's when a simple student level project becomes AAA title in a technical sense. And on top of that GTA 5 and RDR have a top notch render system - dynamic HDR lighting, dynamic shadows, better AA, weather simulation with proper rain implementation, atmospheric effects (it's not a day night cycle when you don't even simulate atmosperic scattering), post-effects, complex animation system etc. And with all of that GTA/RDR 5 has huge landscapes - just stand on a mountain and you will see huge draw distance even on last-gen consoles. Xenoblade just doesn't hold a candle in any possible category. let's be honest though, they did good for the budget and hardware they had, obviously it wasn't gonna touch Rockstar games technically, but they made the right sacrifices considering there budget and the hardware.
The lack of them leveling when outside the party is perhaps this game's biggest flaw. Second-biggest is not having any easy way to move the characters into your party.

I've been wondering about this. What's the reserve party section for? Can you stuff four people in there after you have a full team and get them levels passively?
Chapter 5 spoilers:
This game just keeps delivering. It's easily my GoTY unless they majorly screw up the rest of the game from this point on.Holy shit that twist, I legitimately never saw it coming and it actually shocked me. One of my favourite twists in a game, despite being very cliche anime-y. Makes the whole search for the lifehold thing actually mean stuff. Also I like the alien ship.
Even from the start of the game, there are some word choices that indicate this twist. Even without the spoilers, I kinda guessed.
A few Basic Missions that guide the party to specific Story, Affinity, or Normal Missions may be missed if the corresponding mission is started without the Basic Mission, but these have no rewards and do not count towards completion percent (they are, however, logged in the completed mission log).
My plan for tonight is to get Hope and then use her as my perma fourth. After that all four of them are going to level 30 so I can start buying more sweet sexy Skells.
Currently I'm at 26, Elma and Lin are at 27 and I have Lao at 28. Going to swap him out for Hope.
How do you unlock her?
CHAPTER 5 SPOILERS:
For me the bigger reveal was the fact that they actually acknowledged the lack fo a language barrier between all the alien races. I thought I was dealing with a "lol video games" situation and now it's actually a plot point.
Chapter 5 is the one I just finished and I am glad the story has finally picked up. It feels worthy of the Xeno name.

It's sitting as my GOTY too.
I didn't guess but I immediately though back to some of the stuff said earlier in the game and was like... "oh fuck, that makes complete sense!"
My biggest gripes so far, which I'm pretty sure I've stated elsewhere in the thread, are that the camera fucking SUCKS when it zooms in and forces you to a slower camera speed, and also that there are no audio settings. Please let me mute bgm, or voices, or either. No reason this shouldn't be in the game.
I'm pretty in love with the game overall, though, so don't let me get you down. This also seems to be stuff they could fix with a patch ?
After buying it and putting in some serious hours, I have to say it feels like an evolution of PSO somehow. The aesthetics are very similar, the sense of exploration is also similar, the feel of the world, weapon design also. If it had 4 player co-op where you went out rare hunting it would be the icing on the cake.
Ive been looking for a PSO-like game for years now, and this is the closest ive come to finding one, and from what I've seen so far I will play this for months and months like I did with PSO back in the DC/GC days. Awesome game, buy it!
Guys.... SKELLS ARE FUCKING AWESOME.
Nope, it's pretty baffling that the reserve party window exists at all. It doesn't seem to have any purpose other than to have a person in it that the game is saying you have to add, or to move someone into when you're dismissing them.
Damn, guess I'll have to switch to curator and then go to .
*spoiler is a location with lots of blue crystals, someone linked it to me and I don't know how common knowledge it is.
GG, doesn't even show where it is on the map. You got a pic or something?
e: is it the easternmost probe?

I'm so happy I manage to beat chapter 6 without reducing difficulty (5th try after changing some arts, skills,etc)! With only 3 characters too! Fucking Leo kept on dying. And I was 1 level lower than the boss.
I think you gain more rewards if you do not lower the difficulty, but I have nothing to confirm it, my friends didnt really take notice of the rewards.
