Man, it's getting really frustrating needing to get somewhere for a quest and I can't get there because I run into cliffs which I can't get over. And the minimap + FrontierNav maps are useless. Has anyone found a good way to manage this? I'm in Noctilum right now trying to progress my Chapter 4 quest but just can't find how to get where the game wants me to go and I've been pointlessly running around for 20 minutes.

I've noticed that as well. It is what I have her in, but more because it's like the least weird thing to have her in.
I don't know about comeities, sadly. Actually, once I chose option A after taking the cables, the affinity quest ends right there lol.

What's the difference between Potential up and Potential boost? Which is better for a melee character or a character that relies on TP arts?

up is flat raise, boost is percentage raise

one is % the other straight increase
If I'm just trying to navigate around geography, I usually tap on the top right button on the gamepad to get rid of all the FrontierNav symbols and see where all the bodies of water and stuff are instead. I usually find all the symbols distracting when I'm just trying to get to a specific point on the map. New data probe locations help too. Usually I end up just following along cliffs and lakes in one direction until I can finally loop around it. I remember that part makes you do a pretty significant detour to get around to it.
Potential up increases the potential stat by the given points. Potential boost increase by percentage of your stat. In the long run, with high potential, Potential boost increases the stat more. Just experiment which augment gives the higher points increase.
This thread's scrolling awfully fast, but I wanted to say that I had totaled my basic skell over three times before I gave it to another party member, and one time I screwed up while trying to stealth around level 50 enemies and she died I ended up having to pay the recovery fee for some reason.
I've been really digging the Mastermind class, with several effects that enhance my TP limit and a focus on keeping auras on others, group healing and abusing the two arts that deal a lot more damage if you have an aura on you (meanwhile, my character gets healed for 500 HP every time an aura is applied thanks to the enforcer's Buff Heal skill). All that that plus the TP aura that boosts ranged damage makes for a really natsy combo that dealt around 1K damage back when I started using it, and now that I'm level 30 it can deal a lot more.
Something I only recently realized is how TP actually worked. Before I was kind of puzzled at how some of my skills weren't abailable even when they weren't off of cooldown, but then I stumbled across the "TP Cost: 1000" description when I was leveling my arts up. The same thing happened with fashion gear and the way I was supposed to set augmentations, since the game didn't bother telling me how neither thing worked, and I thought the sub-menu screen was only for looking at your character model, since that's the only function it has while in the shop menu (I think).
By the way, I really like being able to jump around like a mountain goat to try and get into high places, so now that I've got a skell I'm even happier since you can go up practically anything if you keep mashing jump and finding the right slopes to step on. Another little trick I found is that you can always transform into vehicle mode as long as you've walked off a ledge, stall in the air for a split second with that and immediately cancel the transformation with jump to cover a nice extra bit of distance. It also looks to me like skells in vehicle mode can go up a couple steep slopes where you'd fall down if you tried to climb them while in biped mode.
Something I wanted to ask here is when you're given the ability to change the MC's physical appearance, and where that place is. For reference, I'm currently getting started with episode seven and am level 31.

I understand that one is just a number while the other is a percentage. But if you had to choose one vs the other which is better? I mean does the flat number end up higher? Does the boost percentage depend on your class/level if it's better?
Ah there we go. I guess I gotta see a screen to see stat increases. Is it an option in the store?
edit: and I just saw there's a potential listing in the bottom I feel like an idiot haha.
I love this game.
Go press 'X' on that statue.
Once you fully max out a tree to the right you can keep that weapon on different classes, and also use that weapon's arts.
Arts are weapon specific.
I think it requires using the same weapon type to carry over the skills.

There are three basic classes and six advanced classes. I guess the most mage like would be the Mastermind class, which largely focuses on support.
That said, don't expect anything as magey as Melia from the first Xenoblade

Before I dive in for another few hours, I just want to say that right from the beginning I found the music to be unique and varied and I've really been enjoying it.
I can totally understand why it's a divisive topic, but personally, I think it's fantastic. It suits the game better than I expected it to.
Though I got the SE with the 10-song USB, I'd love to have the entire soundtrack.

This photo was taken after the team learned a new wisdom earlier.
Same here. It actually kinda has the same effect that Persona 3 had on me. Its unique to the point where you have to listen to it multiple times to really get it.
Also thanks for the heads up on weaponry.

Needs a Holiday on Gallifrey
Just got my smell license. Only took like 45 minutes, since I instantly "completed" 4/8 upon accepting the mission. Only ones I had to do were fetch the map, and the kill quests.
Is anyone else like me just not using augments?
I kind of forgot about the system until recently but I dont really have any desire to mess with it. Just seems like another thing to continuously worry about (change augments every time you change weapons or armor) No thanks.
But will I need to use the system in the later stages of the game? I'm around Chapter 10 and have done okay.

Lesson well learned.
I only wish there was an easy way to look characters up, since I don't think I remember who that characer could be.
The music sounds a lot like Kill La Kill to me, which is always good in my book.

Thanks -- getting rid of symbols helped and I've now met the fantastic

Were you able to speak speak to Kristy ?
That npc will introduce you to probes.
If you did not see her green quest marjker yet (she is the the adminstrative area).
Dump Lyn affinity quest if you can.
Doing Krystie quests first will help you a lot for Lyn quests.
If Kyrstie isnt unloaked advance to chapter 4.
Doing chapter 4 first before Lyn quest will also lead you to a zone where Lyn item will drop.
Went to Oblivia to go kill some grexes for a story quest, end up climbing a cliff and finding a path leading to a ravine with a probe, leading to a monster nest with treasure, leading to a huge lake with another probe, and I end up completing the skell license quest by accident lol. I love this game.
And now I find this weird-ass thing called

I actually think it might be ok this time around. Some of the affinity quest rules are frustrating (one at a time? Wtf?), but in general they're a lot less mind numbing than XB's. I'm pleasantly surprised with that so far.
What IS still annoying is wandering around looking for quests.
I would say the mage class is the enforcer branch tree, first branch of it lead to mage-healer.
Second branch to paladin (dps warrior with some healing skills).
Don't expect though to have a laser staff, lol
It will be gun and laser saber or knife.

Try to level up+affinity your companions so you can do their affinity quests, that is more painfull than just talking to npcs and doing their little quests, lol

Ok, Ive been making alot of kick ass progress today, walked myself into oblivia where theres practically free probe areas everywhere, they throw 2 of them at you just by walking straight, I now have 19+% of primordia surveyed(would have some more but some level 39 grexes are blocking the way to a probe mine on both areas, i was stunned when i went to the other side and there was one right in the middle, son of a bitch) I also managed to collect two of the item I asked about yesterday while in this areas, and now.....I stumbled my way into noctilum.....this place is breathtaking.....
And yet they removed the fundoshi.
I had no idea this game had Heart to Hearts.
For those as clueless as me, the first Heart to Heart for Elma is on the west gate below the elevator you arrived to the city in. You have to be there in the afternoon, and she will appear as a normal character AND REMEMBER you have to remove her from your active members team first, otherwise you won't find her.
Kind of sneaky.

Right? man speculation was rampant back then, i also remember the thread of people apparently not knowing how xenoblade played like despite gaf's infatuation with it and making the biggest hissy fit about it.

Guys I'm trying to recruit murderess but her affinity quest isn't appearing. What gives?
I know it needs you to be a min level 22 and to have beaten chapter 5. I've done both of those. So where is the mission? Not seeing it in map.

heart to heart as in what it was in OG xenoblade and not a affinity mission?
Dont forget to put her model in your barracks. Pretty sure you get it right after the fight.
