I still remember the first time a choice I made ended up killing an NPC. It was like, damn did that really just happen

This happened to me and it was the quest story was as close at it gets to Xenogears-esque story. And then I found out things could have gone a little differently......

 

[QisTopTier]

Whats the quickest way to level up? Need to reach 30 to progress the story .

do normal missions

 

[sora87]

So, waiting around for FrontierNav to gather these white cometites... whoever thought this was an acceptable quest needs to be stopped.

For me I just fucked up when I arbitrarily chose which wire to connect to fix a helicopter

So I was all about the affinity missions having nice cutscenes etc, but the one you have to do to unlock chapter 6 was pretty damn boring. I believe it's only the second one I've done.

I guess some have a little more love put into them than others? Why tie such a dull one to the main plot? Hmm...

Oh well, this game is still my favorite.

Do you have data probes in the right areas? Not all data probes can collect them

Also, it's annoying now, but later in the game these types of things are amazing because you'll be swimming in these resources without even trying

Look for the red question marks

I seriously got lucky on that one. Didn't even know something could have happened on the flight back.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Did ya? Or did you just kick the can down the road?

 

[george_us]

Lol beach wear makes you OP?

Welkin Auravis' most powerful attacks are fire based and the beach wear has fairly high fire resistance. I was able to take those guys on while three levels below.

 

[Vena]

I picked the correct wire and they got home safe.

Personally at around level 28, I started killing level 36-40 Grexes north of NLA. I leveled up pretty fast. This is also easier if you already unlock the first skell.

 

[Rebel Leader]

For now, fellow Blade. For now.

 

[Evilkazz]

OH MY FUCKING GOD I'M A MURDERER!

FUCKING SIDES QUEST HAD ME FIXING HELICOPTERS. I PICKED THE WRONG CORD.
I feel so bad. I haven't saved in forever either so I think I might have to live with this guilt.

[theprodigy]

Why is it that the food of choice for aliens is always Pizza? Like almost every time aliens become infatuated with an earth food in fiction, it almost always ends up being pizza

I dunno about normally, but did you see the Treehouse Splatoon tournament? Those guys all prefer pizza, I know 8-4 actually did this game but who knows

 

[Rebel Leader]

Is that the one about a downed chopper in noct?

 

[aravuus]

For me I just fucked up when I arbitrarily chose which wire to connect to fix a helicopter

That was kind of a dumb one imho

But yeah, at least I also got lucky and picked the right option

 

[Aaronrules380]

I mean this was clearly something decided by the dev team, given that the manon constantly flock around army pizza

Was about to say that. This literaly happened to me right now.

 

[Rebel Leader]

What's the quest title?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Yes

 

[Wyndstryker]

For me I just fucked up when I arbitrarily chose which wire to connect to fix a helicopter

Luckily ran into an npc that says which wire to pick just before finishing that mission

 

[Teknoman]

Do Grex randomly kill those pig indigens, or are they just snacking on one as a background object?

 

[ultimalionbgh]

Ouch. I seriously did not know about the consequences. Luckily I picked the correct one ><

 

[Malus]

Hmm...can I jump to that island over the abyss in Oblivia with my Skell?

*save*

nope

*load*

 

[Aaronrules380]

On another note, what do people think of the various xenoforms

Spoiler

I like the orphea, and I think the Wroth are really cool from what I've seen as well
Wroth seem pretty cool, but I haven't seen much of them yet
Orphea are really interesting

 

[Evilkazz]

A Proper Chopper

Yes you can reach that floating island with a non flying skell from the right angle(from the south) but the node required mechanical lvl 5. >.>

Just curious, but do you remember which npc was it? Was it a blank npc or a named?

That happened to me. Led to me losing an insurance. And now I'm uninsured on my main skell D:

Then I came back with the flight pack and learned you need level 5 mechanical

some japanese players ended up remaking the entire first trailer from actual gameplay

the part with shulk is the best

level 5 actually. I have level 4 and can't use it

edit: nm, there's another console

 

[Evilkazz]

I've also just been informed of another quest with diverging paths.

Did anyone else do the quest where you can Kill or Spare the piglets?

Did you kill or spare them?

 

[Vena]

For now, fellow Blade. For now.

I don't really give a shit. I am roleplaying my game hard as a nameless mook who, as much as I figure by the end of the story, will go completely unremembered and Elma will get all the credit.

If the other mooks die then whatever!

 

[Shun]

I 100% recommend Blast Fencer and especially Galactic Knight. You're basically a Jedi, lol. The melee combos you can do once you get to Galactic Knight do insaneeee damage. I'm sad to have switched off it honestly.

What's the focus on the class and how is the TP gain on that class?

I've just been sticking with Full Metal Jaguar because I rack up TP like no tomorrow and overdrive combos do a ridiculous amount of damage and benefits.

Doing combos from behind the enemy + buffs mean I rarely ever have to wait for cool downs and I don't have to waste TP on unnecessary moves, just buffs.

I tried the sniper class and it took a while for it to get going and do decent damage. It's a lot of work and I guess it's alright. Just focuses more on arts since TP gain is slower on that one.

And the Psycorruptor class is basically a heal/support while the team does stuff. I think QisTopTier uses that class.

 

[MrPanic]

Yes you can, I did it. You'll have to drive off the cliff and jump mid-fall to keep enough momentum to make it.

Spoiler

Sadly it was a lv.5 mechanical though.

GK is starved for TP with the standard build, you have to delve into another line if you want to make it good.

there are a few

xenoform to unlock through normal mission (maybe earlier). So far I am loving the normal mission. I have not progressed on the story for the past two days because of all these normal mission. It is surprising how flexible they are on the choices for normal mission.

Apparently I am the only person who isn't a monster. I let them live. If someone dies because of it, its not on me.

How do you unlock level 5 again?

Count me in the not a monster club.

Only in missions though :3

 

[Not_Mario]

They're found in caves, and the lake area in the northeast part of the continent.

Thanks. I went into a bigger cave and found them quickly.

I didn't expect to like the ma-non as much as I do. Their dialogue in NLA is pretty funny.

 

[Shun]

GK is starved for TP with the standard build, you have to delve into another line if you want to make it good.

So after I get the final class in the tree to level 10, I can use those weapons on any class? Dual Guns/Blades?

I haven't leveled them up to 10 yet, just to like 8 for 3 classes.

I guess I'm glad to have done the FMJ class first because that class is &#128293;&#128293;&#128293;&#128293;&#128293; it's good as a standard build but it requires a lot of positioning management and cool down management for maximum overdrive damage. It's really fun but it can get kind of hectic and complex for other people.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Time to start chapter 9. Is it right that you get the quest for flight after?
