Guys, I'm buying this tomorrow, should I get the disc or just go digital? Just to note I never resell my games
Unless you have an extra HDD.. i usually go with hard copy on the WiiU.

Yeah have an external for my Wii U. I just heard it is best to download all the data packs for the game so digital sounded like the right way to go but I do like having a physical copy...

okay I'll take a look
I hate to switch discs + digital has faster loading (which can be achieved by downloading half the game for the disc version)
Oh really? like faster load times? if it helps with the popin of things, like assets and textures i woudl go digital then. Right now on disc the popin can be pretty obnoxious in some areas.

I'm getting this as an xmas gift. I really need to finish fallout 4 soon. You guys like the graphics? Only thing making me reluctant to play this game is the weak hardware of the Wii U.
It looks awesome. Game is quite ambitious and it delivers. Every area is different, the monsters have variety and they can be really breath taking. I think its pretty detailed in an MMO style but a lot more dense. I like it a lot. I wish it had high resolution shadows... but can't have everything i guess.

Yeah... This makes getting the disc kind pointless if I still have to download half of it for the optimal experience

Sweet, I'm really in the mood for some JRPG action. Last games I've played: Witcher 3, MGSV, and Fallout 4. I'm a little intimated by the scope but it should be fun. Now I just have to decide if I go with a male or female character...

I don't think grinding will help you much in this fight. Try switching to a different class.
I had trouble with him at first. Switched to Mastermind (not maxed), and managed to beat him first try. I was basically managing my party's health from afar (heals and buffs). They pretty much did all the hard work for me. Felt pretty amazing when I did it, lol.
Just try to have your heal/buff arts always ready for immediate reuse, and maybe save your TP for when a party member dies. Also, try to never miss a soul voice chance.
The all-party heal item might also come in handy (division reward).

time to take a break

I'm currently grinding with Nagi trying to get Blossom Dance

Currently doing the same thing. This is not an easy task
Ya like I was saying I couldn't find the NPC who tells you where Elma's 1st HTH is...
I had already found the locations of her 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th ones. :lol

I just heard good things about it so I want to try it

Okay, here's another really basic thing about the game I've only realized several hours later, that makes navigating the map much less confusing:
The FN sites are ordered from top to bottom in single-line columns, starting from the very left of the map and moving to the right. So FN101 starts at the very left of the map, then if FN102 is in the same vertical column, it'll be below FN101. If there are no other FN sites in the same column, then you move to the next column to the right - FN103 could be north or south of FN101, but it'll be the topmost nav site in its own column. FN 104 could be below FN103, or if there are no additional nav sites in FN103's column, it could be in the next column over, etc.
Whenever I was searching for a specific FN site, I could never figure out how they were organized, and why the numbers would "skip" between FN sites that were right next to one another... it's because they're organized vertically (which I guess makes sense when you have a hex grid).

It's a good thing though, since it resets all your cooldowns
About 10 hours into the post game. Got bored of going through old low level affinity/normal mission and just decided to find some good fights.
Are there any good ground level fights anymore? What I mean by this is that most of the harder enemies are all significantly large and are better suited for Skell combat. Most gangleon camps are all a lot weaker than me (unless I start taking 4-5 at a time).
I'm only asking because I just started to really experiment with some fun set ups but everything I find seem to be better dealt with in a Skell. Is this true for all the postgame besides multiplayer missions?

You could do time attack missions, which usually prohibit Skells and aren't actually multiplayerz you could also try your luck at just not using a skell vs the high level tyrants
Yeah, I had the same problem, that's about when I went for the Ares 90 skell.
2 of those 4,2M level 50 skells wasn't enough, at most I could remove half of his HP before getting destroyed.
It's really the hardest quest of the 3.
I just noticed that I haven't even tried 1 time attack mission yet (109 hours in). Will do.

I love that it resets the attacks I want to use
it saves me in near death situations
G.Buster go go go
Oh.. Didn't know that
Now I wish my camera didn't swap my Skell's vehicle/dash camera angle when I used it :\
Ugh I hate the camera in this game fierce.

Why the hell would you want to? It resets all of your arts and makes you invincible for the duration.

So what's up with sectors saying there is a normal mission in that area but there is no normal mission to be found?

I think that the area is for when you complete a quest that leads you there.

What....what even is this game, yo. I started the Chapter 5 quest and I'm level 15. I might be underleveled but I don't think so. But I can't get anywhere because in Noctilum level 34-38 monsters are not only everywhere, they're hostile AND they can pop out of nowhere to OHKO me.
I don't even know what to do anymore. >_< Is there a safe route that I'm just avoiding because WTF. And Noctilum is absolutely beautiful too, but I can't enjoy it 'cause everything's going to kill me.

L+right stick to control your camera distance
it goes a little crazy when too far out in closed in areas
I don't let the camera better me in battles
arts are pretty forgiving as long as you already had the enemy targeted you hit it even if you lose sight of it
You are a bit underleveled... I think 19-20 is probably good for Ch 5
wait isn't Ch 5 in Oblivia?
also there's almost always a safe route

Yes. Ch. 4 is in Noctilum, though.
20ish would be the right level for Ch5, considering the enemies you go up against.
As to high-level enemies, just avoid them. They aren't meant to be fought during that chapter and it's entirely possible to avoid engaging them. This applies to both Oblivia and Noctilum.

There is one prerequisite affinity mission that needs Gwin but I forgot what level affinity. I think 1 heart.

depends on chapters, other missions you have to do before this shows up, or time of day/night
I went to the base hangouts of the
cat xenos
the world does change a little depends on your progress the map is only marked because you get clues from the NPC bubbles that goes to you map

Sometimes the camera angle in cutscene is just too good
Smiles and Cries

this depends on how maxed out your Skells are
do you have all gems slots full?
did you get all your gear?
some enemies are just though no matter what level they are
while you can find level 50 enemies you could beat easily at level 25
edit: another reason you get killed, it by something bigger you did not see that is nearby who joined in and one shot you

I'm doing an affinity mission (to progress to ch11) to kill some enemies with a soldier rifle. I'm doing so but it isn't counting. Do I have to use a specific soldier rifle? I have around 6 of them in my inventory.
This is maybe a weird thing to notice but I love how they've made the game camera feel like a real one without stuff like annoying lens dirt effects. There's a very restrained use of lens flair and after MGSV I can really appreciate that.
Mostly, I like how when the camera is pointed in the direction of the sun, the whole sky around it is a bright white. It lends a weirdly realistic quality to the lighting even though shadows don't move.
The exiting caves lighting effect could use some work though since everything outside goes from looking like night to daytime when it should look bright from inside the cave itself. It seems like it has to do with how their engine handles the shift of lighting in a scene, like outdoors to in a cave.
