Guess we'll have to agree to disagree! Not like I'm trying to defend the twist, swerve, whatever the fuck you want to call it, I thought it was dumb

This is a really bad review. And not because of the score. He took this much extra time and what he ended up writing was pretty short. It feels like the "end" of the review is mid-thought.

Xeno Gaf is a cool section on Gaf and what would make Xeno Gaf better is if all of ya'll be mindful of spoilers and spoiler images. Not everyone on Gaf can trailblaze like some of you can.
She's mix or more Latin American in likeness if you ask me. She has no tan lines if you ever get her into Sammy's armors. I don't see why she'd need to be tanned, or why it matters.
That's fine. I actually liked it from a story telling perspective. It was obvious for a while and it was handled well, imo. The story and presentation are stiff as a board but its been surprisingly genre savvy and so far the reveals and plot movements have been pretty good.

All right cool thanks. Not sure if Skell armor simply is included in one of their packages then, assuming you didn't see a "unlocked skell armor" notice when you upgraded it. I have it at level 4 and haven't seen anything besides skell wear.
Well it would make her, the basically main character of the story, a non-white protagonist which is quite progressive for a JRPG

I think everyone knows. When Elma explains it to you she makes it sound like everyone who got onto a Project Exodus ship was put in stasis and transferred to a mim because she says they don't know how long it would take to find a new home and they didn't want people dying off because of old age and that the player just forgot because of stasis amnesia.
I mean, I was pretty shocked that Monolith decided to create New Los Angeles and not New Tokyo. It's clear they had a western audience in mind from the start.
I haven't gotten to this point yet but I know about it. I wasn't really spoiled. I was just watching someone else at home who's a little ahead of me. There were some things said that definitely foreshadowed the events of *that* chapter. One thing that confused me at the time was when Elma was talking about the
lifeholds and she said something to Vandham like, "We wouldn't be here talking if the Lifeholds were destroyed"
She's the linchpin of the story, the protagonist. X is still the actual hero/enabler.
Its a rare example of a lack of a hero protagonist that is the player at the same time.
This is another example of where I think it was handled really well. Its minor details in passing conversation that make perfect sense to everyone in-universe, to the point where they wouldn't even think of it as confusing, but you.

I just bought it, the first game in a long time I actually paid full price for and only a few days after launch. In fact, the guys that run the store were really surprised how well that game sold there.
The turorial and all the explainations took quite some time, but once I got my first real mission I was completely hooked. I just played about 3 hours and this is quite much for someone who doesn't game that much anymore. Lyn grew on me quickly after she fangirled about that skell.It feels so good to explore the areas and I simply just can't wait to play some more tomorrow.

I like Lin, but man was she useless in the. chapter 4 boss fight, she kepr screwing up my team, only this fight tho which was weird
The gamestop near me sold all of their initial copies. I hope this anecdotal evidence is a good sign that the game performed, at least, up to expectations.

XC also had inventory management issues, so to me, it's a valid point since XCX didn't improve on it... they just threw "equip best gear" at it.

I had to go to the neighboring city to find a copy. I think this is selling well for a Wii U game.

I'm not going to trust anecdotal sellout reports, especially after Bayonetta 2.
fortunately the game does provide us a somewhat decent stat here
I was trying to be careful about what I posted earlier, but it's hard to know what some people consider spoilers.
UMMMMMM, doing the affinity quest BFFs and when I
What am I supposed to do?
e: oh thank fucking god, it just added a new mission for the next objective for some reason I will never understand. For a second there I thought the game had glitched out.
PHEW
go meet the second caravan (Tatsu's mom), the cutscene about her missing triggers, but after that it still lists "head to Dodonga caravan and get a signature" as an objective.

??? You don't have to fight everything you encounter.
You're not supposed to fight that stuff. This game has a natural distribution of enemies instead of having them get stronger as you progress. Sneak past them.

they allude to it pretty heavily in the first affinity quest, "we were soldiers" or something when
you get to Irina and she's injured and Doug says he was able to make the repairs here

Ok XenoGAF, make my decisions for me. Should I power through chapter 6 to get my Skell, or should I finally slow down, enjoy the sights, do affinities and finally take a look round NLA?
I don't think sales will surprise in any direction, really. In context as a Wii U JRPG releasing in December it will probably do well, but not as good as it deserves.
Purely anecdotally I've never been much of a RPG-fan, but the trailers and build-up to this game really excited me, and now I've bought and very much enjoyed both Xenoblade Chronicles-games. The game markets itself very well in videos and screenshots, IMO.

One hour and a commute away from playing. Maybe I get to my skell tonight.

Aw man, I thought XBCX was finally delivered today, but it turns out it only arrived in my city. I was ready to go berserk when it wasn't in my mailbox in spite of its 'arrival.'
Yet another lesson in cooler heads prevailing.

I did find that line odd when I heard it but then assumed it might've been a weird translation thing.
That's the thing when playing JRPGs, you can't really know if something that sounds weird is supposed to be that way or was just translated too literally.

What level should I be for Chapter 26 quest. I'm lvl 20 now for X, Elma and Lin with my 4th (Irina or Gwin) is around 17 and 15 respectively. I didn't have much trouble in chapter 5 but I had to duck and weave behind all those 22+ guys

I had to listen to some of the OST on youtube just to see what you guys are talking about
The New LA theme sounds like what would come out of 2005's mouth while it dry humped 1992 on a leather couch Nickelback threw away

Meant to fight 3 humanoid enemies, mission objective, i'm like 5 levels below them. Only option is to grind on enemies around there, but keep getting killed by them too lol.
Hmm you might be missing something, im 31 hours in didn't stop to grind once, it all happens while exploring doing sidequests do you beeline the story mission ?
