Thank you! Perfect, I just finished Chap 5 and I do not like how my char looks in cutscenes :-/ Is it a story or sidequest?

Oh, quick question for people who have finished the game/are far into it. Are these all the races that can join? (names might be wrong but I describe too)
Prone - Tree Clan (ugly blue/purple/sometimes pale people)
Prone - Cavern Clan (seems to only be the paleish people?)
Ma-non (sueaky voices yes? Yes yes yes!)
Nopon (Tatsu is Nopon!)
Orphean (mantis people)
Future Human? (Professor B and his 1.21 jiggawatts)
Wrothian (space kitty samurais)
Those ones that are like the Volus from Mass Effect and wear suits (They also have those staffs and collect volt-something from toxic waste?)

my understanding it's that it is doable with level 30 skells but that you really want at least 1-2 level 50s if possible. The level 60 skells only seem necessary if you're doing post-game boss fights/tough battles tbh

Level 60 skells are unlocked after you beat the game so unfortunately no level 60 skells for the final chapter.

The boss in
last affinity mission was probably one of the most frustrating boss encounters in an RPG I've played in a long time.
Bozé's
It's possible it's just that the finale
is a series of fights and if you end up losing your skells in a fight, you can't get another one from your insurance. You can't actually screw yourself over by saving in that situation AFAIK but it just becomes tedious restarting the game to get back your skells on subsequent attempts.
I did it on foot. That's the easy way.
So I gotta say, finally settled in to play this tonight (after a number of problems trying to install it to an SDcard attached to a USB dongle) and is it just me or is the opening .... really.... sloooow... and..... it ...... takes ......... a ..... while....... to ...... get.... to .... the ..... point ?
In the time it took me to play through the prologue , chapter 1 and chapter 2 (essentially one giant tutorial if you ask me) my wii gamepad battery managed to die.
As much as it explains about all the cool stuff you get to do later , it seems like it skips over some essential components like - for example the battle system. It just assumes you remember how Xenoblade Chronicles worked on the wii or 3DS and doesn't tell you anything. I did eventually remember how it all worked ... sort of ... but it just felt a bit sloppy ?
Given how big this game intends to be , I'm not concerned that the first couple hours were just a bit of a slog , running around and exploring seems fun enough although I need to tweak the camera a bit more. Any other issues I have with it are superficial at best - the graphics remind me of Supermarionation and the pop in is pretty bad at points BUT , it's still a fairly impressive streaming world.

Is there a finite number of basic quests?
It's absolutely possible to get stuck, not permanently of course, but if you blow your gear, you can't get it back until after all the bosses are dead or you just restart.
The first boss is pretty doable anyway with 30s. You can still lose your skells.
Second boss is the same as the first boss.
Third boss is a pack of mobs that can wipe out your ground team really quickly.
4th and 5th are the last bosses.
Where people, myself included, tend to actually get stuck is the third part, if they don't have their skells still, or even if they don't have the Phoenix skell weapon.
I beat the entire thing on foot because my skells exploded. That said I was pretty much running a really high damage, easy overdrive build. The absolute hardest part was the pack of mobs, which took me about 20ish tries before I just spammed AOE and stopped trying to get overdrive.
PS does anyone know a tyrant that drops cool dual guns?

Bloody hell. So after about an hour of running around New LA doing heart to heart (thanks to here and here) reading up I think that to do the second one you need 2 hearts, third 3 and so on. That would explain why some were not showing up (I wonder if the hint bubbles follow the same logic), makes sense following the first game I suppose. This also means prior to chapter 9 (something that happens in chapter 9 but was foreshadowed before)
getting Lao to 5 hearts. While in a way it is the only missable content (yes quests have various options that could be counted as missable) I'm going to miss it.
I'll try to find the post/youtube vid on Overdrive breaking. But I don't know if you can do it without key items.
The light frames have considerably higher Evasion and Potential, the latter making them better in Overdrive than their heavy counterparts. Evasion makes them harder to hit, and they consume less fuel in just doing general non-combat stuff. They are tricky to use and can break really quickly if they get aggro.
Medium is jack of all trades but have 3000 more GP total, so they can chain Overdrives by default if they have a weapon's set-up to make it work. I think Lailah is hands down better than Inferno due to the stat spread and the superior Overdrive on the Lailah.
Heavies are "easy" to use (unless Gravity is involved) because they have a ton of health and armor for direct hits. Heavies aren't as dependant on Overdrive for their damage and get a nice boost from it regardless (particularly the Amdusias, who's overdrive greatly helps with fuel issues). Amdusias and Mastema make for great, easy to use Melee and Ranged specialized Skell, either one can use the Phoenix weapon to wipe low-level enemies off the face of the earth in a single salvo and wide AoE.
In terms of frame rankings as far as I have found (excluding the Ares) it comes down to something like:
Amdusias > Mastema (unless you want to heavily specialize range, then its reverse)
Urban (all-around good damage, high evasion) / Formula (crit, evasion specialization) > Verus
Lailah (better Overdrive) > Inferno
And then if you factor in Overdrives and generally put them together I say:
Amdusias, Lailah, Urban, Formula are the better frames unless you have a very specific niche you want to build out of a frame.
I've just finished Chapter 9, but I'm pretty sure you can get
Definians and Milsaadi (presumably?)
Celica and Rock

Guys I forgot where the prone camp is in Primordia ....... I need to fight those puges for that item (I know it's difficuly but I wanna try). Whereabouts on the map is it again? ;;
So he does have Heart to Hearts? I never even found his to begin with.
Straight out east of the city by the coast.
It's in the very southeast IIRC.

It's in the mission board. You will have to "spam" check it until Off the Record pop out. Also ensure that you hit level 4 on one of the treasure skills.

Hmm, sounds a bit annoying honestly lol. ANy good places to grind from 46 to 50 quickly?
First one is at the residential district in the morning or daytime or something like that. He stares at a dog so you may have to have a dog in your barracks.

Oh I found it again! Thanks. Of course there was a probe warp spot right in front of it, I thought it was more up north.
I've been spamming it for some time with no luck. Is there some other prerequisite or is it just that unlikely to show up?

Does anyone have a list of the sightseeing spots in this game? Finding some of them is driving me nuts.
Also, do you need the flight module in order to get to the top of the giant ring in Oblivia or can you just platform your way to the top?

I went right to 60 at point 319. You teleport in on a rock surrounded by water, just run around and kill just the skells with Gbuster and other similar weapons on the rest of your party's skells. There's 3, so just smack them around and teleport again to make them appear again.
You can also go to 202 and fly up into the flower and phoenix the bugs around the level 90 Tyrant, Joker, but I don't really recommend that as joker can probably ruin your level 30 skell's life. If you have more than one phoenix and can get your dudes to hit it too though, you'll make big xp.

You might have too many unfinished quests in your queue even if you're not at 20. I was having trouble getting it to pop so I abandoned a few generic quests and suddenly it appeared.

Keep spamming. Took me a while to get it to pop too...
I stayed around Fallshorn Isle to level to 50 fighting 4 level 48ish spiders nearby. I think there are better places to level. Check the area around the Balance Rock South East of Oblivia.
You will want to fight small enemies over level 50 with your skells.

Ah right. Dunno how I forget them seeing as
I had Celica in my party at the end. don't know why though, she's as strong as a wet paper bag.
Oh my god it just popped up after I leveled up a different skill to lvl 4. I guess I'm not getting mechanical level 5 tho.
