Is there some setting to enable headphone audio? I use a computer monitor that doesn't have speakers, and a headset for sound ... but nothing seems to be coming through the jack on the gamepad?

My copy of Amazon arrived rather randomly as it still says scheduled for Tuesday...

But it has my name on it so its definitely my copy. Am I going to get another copy on Tuesday?

Reading this thread, seems stores are running low or are people having trouble with online orders?

Wouldn't surprise me for Amazon to screw something up especially during the holidays.

Reposting a few pages later:

Does anyone know if there is a way to re-connect to the server after being disconnected other than returning to the title screen?

 

[aravuus]

So is there a clearly obviously best division to go for? I was thinking of Harriers, since I'm going to be grinding a lot, killing a ton of enemies. Something like Pathfinders sounds like it could be really hard to get good amounts of division points early on. What are the division points used for, again?

Doesn't seem like it

 

[Astral Dog]

I like the one they used for demostration at E3 last year, other than that it would be a Shulk look alike, team boring

 

[Jarmel]

I'll probably just swing buy Best Buy after work and return the other one whenever it's finally delivered

I'm debating doing that myself if it doesn't get here in the next two hours.

Yeah, you have to switch to Off-TV play, click the button/icon on the GamePad. Then the audio will come through the GamePad.

Looking good and feeling fine.

Also, I fell in a hole and got killed by some level 40 bugs, lol.

Interceptors should also be good if you're just going to murder a bunch of animals. They go towards your BLADE level, each level lets you level up a field skill. Eleonora should have made you do some tutorial thing for that.

I just made it up to chapter 3 and I'm enjoying the game a lot. I just wish I could make the text a tiny bit bigger.

Here's my character

I decided to try and climb the crystals outside of the NLA's east gate just to see if you can and took a picture of the view.

Also, I fell in a hole and got killed by some level 40 bugs, lol.

I went swimming at night and ran into some level 50 flying angler fish with fire lanterns. Needless to say I noped right out of there. The creature designs in this are amazing.

 

[blackflag]

15gb just to load faster? Ok Nintendo....that's half my total space on your internal drive.

 

[sublimit]

Yes. Not just bigger, there's also more stuff in the NA book.

I'm happy for the NA fans though.You guys deserve it for all you have gone through with the release of the previous game.

 

[AdanVC]

Finally got mine. The store opened later than I expected.

Spoiler

Damn you GamePlanet.

Now to spend way too much time on character creation. Yay.

How many pesos?? Oh god I was thinking on pre order it but then decided not to but now looks like it's too late to try to get one

 

[daxgame]

Audio Language: English-only. There's no JP voice track, sadly.


fuck
oh well, still bought it but that's disappointing

 

[etking]

Very nice game so far. As a Xenoblade veteran, I had to struggle dealing with the controls at first, especially the battle target selection and party battle commands are very well hidden. Also I had to struggle finding out how to unequip fashion armor.

Currently playing as Elma all the time because she has more and better arts (you can switch the active character in the active party menu) and I still have to find out how to carry over arts to a new class after class change.

Currently playing mainly with the pro controller because some youtubers claim that controls are more fluid and responsive that way.

 

[boxter432]

out for delivery at 7:17 am. yeahh baby.
good job Amazon/UPS (ordered it on Tues night, very late)!

.

If I sit on my couch, the text is unreadable. I either have to Off-TV play so I can hold the GamePad up to my face, or just move a chair in front of the TV.

It makes no sense, plentys PLENTY of margin space in the menus for the text to be bigger. Its like this game was made for you to sit in front a PC monitor.

 

[ANDS]

This game install is ridiculous. Is this the norm on the Wii U?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Kinsei you have the best looking character so far in this thread. Good work.

 

[TheMoon]

No.

The only workaround is switching to Off-TV Play and going back and forth when you need the GamePad map/UI.

 

[etking]

Now we only need an update to bring the boob slider back.

Went with the Harriers, but it looks like you can change anytime you want thankfully, just costs a bit of money.

Harriers are second last on the rankings lol

 

[DarkLegion]

Nice they had my preorder had gamestop. Now to decide what kind of character to make.

Yeah, it's really annoying. I don't know how they didn't even include an option in the game. That shit should be standard.

 

[Adam Prime]

LOL... this game is freaking HUGE. Did you preload the game, or did you buy/install it today?
I preloaded the game like three weeks ago. I was away from the WiiU all day but I mean, it took HOURS. Like ~3 before I checked in on it and it was done downloading and installing, it could've been longer.

... Speaking of other insanties, the game digital manual is OVER 100 pages. Holy crap. It's worth checking out, there's some stuff explained to you in there you may not figure out. But jeesh! Talk about a good use of a digital manual instead of wasting all that paper.

 

[The_Intruder]

Now we only need an update to bring the boob slider back.

And mainly japanese voices.

I was debating whether to get the special edition, or just get the game. Then i saw the collector's edition guide sitting there. I decided to splurge and get the game and guide. I usually dont buy guides, but this game is so vast with so many systems that it will be nice to have this guide opened next to me while i play.
I shouldnt have spent the money but what can you do? Gamer gonna game.

 

[Baloonatic]

There are none, if I remember

Nice, thanks. I enjoyed doing all the sidequests in XC but not necessarily being forced to do them before certain points in the game.

 

[Adam Prime]

How much is the guide? Isn't it 20% off with best buy GCU?

Where you see it at?

 

[Kamek]

If I buy without downloading any of the packs will my experience be shit?

It is $35 but i got a $5 discount buying it with the game at Best Buy

Where you see it at?

Got it at Best Buy. They had one special edition and two guides.

 

[Numb]

How do i hear just the audio with headphones with having to go into offscreen play?

 

[Vitacat]

I have GCU, but ordered on Amazon where it's just $22.

 

[Percy]

I've only just made a start on this game but holy shit it's sweet. It's like FFXV done right

Spoiler

and actually releasing

.

Voice acting is, thankfully, a huge improvement on the last game, so I can live with playing in english this time.

 

[Tcab96]

Is there a reason to pick a certain divison over the others?

It seems like actually picking one doesn't matter.

Let's just say that I'm grateful to people who make guides for that sort of thing.

 

[Askherserenity]

Has anyone gotten the collectors edition guide? Worth it? I wonder of that Amazon code still works for it.

 

[El Odio]

I gotta echo these complaints about the text. My tv's huge and I'm still squinting to read half the info on the screen. Seriously what is this?

 

[Chanser]

I initially chose outfitters, but then changed to pathfinders because of HP recovery.

Its pretty nice. Hard cover. Have not used it yet but im sure it will come in handy.

Thank you. I am kinda pissed.

It's impossible for me to sit on my couch and play this game off the TV. That's a freaking bummer. Luckily I enjoy playing games off the GamePad and its readable on there because you can hold it up to your nose!

 

[Kade]

I've asked these already but haven't gotten a response yet and I can't find anything online:

Is there a storage chest or a way to flag items that I want to keep for other classes but I'm afraid of accidentally selling? I'm also confused about whether to sell materials and collectibles, especially the latter once I've registered them to the Collectopedia. I'm assuming Materials could end up being quest items in the future but Collectibles are just vendor junk once they're registered?

I believe collectibles can be quest items as well.

 

[Baust]

So has anyone made Shulk yet?

I'm seriously considering it when my copy shows up.

 

[BlackJace]

Just picked it up, which reminded me that I haven't bought a physical version of anything in a while.

 

[Jelly Rajah]

Whoa, a character that actually looks good?

Nice.

I've seen A LOT of Shulks in my world and in the BLADE Scout terminal.

I believe collectibles can be quest items as well.

Okay. Thanks for the swift response.
