I had a glitch. Upon first arriving in NLA you're supposed to get a cutscene walking out and looking over the city. I managed to explore most of areas in the city looking for where to go until I went back to the entrance TWICE which finally triggered. I had previously walked through the yellow spot a few times since the map is pointing there and I was like...am I above or below where it wants me to be? Funny.

Yep. Game isn't as bug free as people made it seem. Wait until your gun flies off your body lol

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Quick question: without saying spoilers, what chapter can I edit my character again?

 

[Chaos17]

how do you connect online with the 32 player thing? is it automatic or do you have to wait until certain chapter??

After chapter 3, for more details : https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_...z/xenoblade_x_multiplayer_information_thread/

 

[TI82]

So many damn cutscenes

 

[Super Stardust]

Man this is taking ages to install these data packs, the time remaining is going up instead of down lol

 

[richd_3]

Later in the game chapter 5+ (something like that) and you will be able to change everything including your gender.
You just cannot change your name.
Check the OP FAQ please next time.

Sorry, stupid of me. Thanks very much.

Thanks! Should be tolerable for the weekend at least.

Well considering it's 10GB it's not that strange it takes a while. I have too say however that the loadtimes on objects like cars, skills and boxes is much faster with the packs. I highly recommend it. Without it's really breaking my immersion.

 

[Sadist]

Well after almost five hours of play, time to sleep. Game is awesome, but there is a lot coming at you all at once.

 

[Malus]

NLA's night music is growing on me.

 

[105.Will]

In the correct lighting, my guy looks like white Michael Jackson. This is both amazing and horrible

 

[mjc]

Have any of you guys had an issue with the voice overs? Every few sentences of dialogue, the first word doesn't come through, just the second on. Some kind of bug maybe?

 

[Kouriozan]

I have to say, the musics are a lot better than my early impression based on the survival guide.
The desert day and night music is pretty awesome

 

[Formless]

Lin is awesome. Damnit Japanese trailers for making me worry.

 

[Shun]

I just got my collectors edition and only had time to make 2 characters. Can I change my name midway through the game regardless of gender or will I have to stick to a name the entire time?

Also is anyone else having issues with the Colector's edition USB? My computer isn't reading it or mounting it so I'm not sure if I have a dud or not.

This is probably the only case where the little Japanese girl hasn't drove me mad

 

[Malvingt2]

Lin is great. Made me laugh a couple of time.

The first plot twist

x has come too

you can't change your name

Indeed, first ever english voice actress I heard who take really a voice of a youngster.
Usually, they're bad in english.

 

[jrcbandit]

Ugh, I didn't check my download. The 10GB download was corrupt and now I have to redownload again before playing the game at 2+ hours....

 

[-tetsuo-]

First impression is really bad. Awkward controls. Stillted voice acting. Characters models look bad. Can not adjust any sound settings. Ran into a couple bugs in the first hour. UI is just lol worthy. Gotta power through the junk.

 

[Renewed]

I feel like sharing. Moving at a snail's pace just taking everything in (talking to people, exploring NLA and nearby).

The speed of the cameras is throwing me off, and customizing it doesn't make it much better. That's my biggest control gripe so far.

 

[Malus]

It's a different feeling compared to the first game when a strong monster finds me, I sprint away, superman leap off a cliff, and I turn around to find the thing charging towards me. Damn.

Yea I cant find a setting I like so far.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Lame, all ready to play. Pop disc in. Got an update, okay I'll download that. Then it installs, ready to play! Nope, installing downloadable content which I'm assuming is the data packs? And the bar is barely moving. Nooooo. Does this take an hour or what?

 

[Numb]

My girl
It's always the eyes.
Managed to make her not look childish/freaky.

 

[Evilkazz]

Character 1

New Character 2

Guess I'll stick with her, I prefer this design. Luckily I gave them gender neutral names.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I want to finish a few other games before getting into this, but I bought it right away for the $10 card at best buy and thought it might get a low print run.

Turns out my best buy had 50 or more copies on the shelf. Crazy after how much resistance there was to the first games release.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

The speed of the cameras is throwing me off, and customizing it doesn't make it much better. That's my biggest control gripe so far.

Fighting with the camera is almost a nostalgic thing at this point. The bounding makes it all worth it, however; just the feel of exploration and constant incredible vista after vista makes the price of admission feel like a bump in the road.

I like her, I found her nice

The music is so bad, and they won't let you turn it off. Why. WHY

My character and her team of bad woman ready to go wreck some bad guys

Fuuuuuu my OCD is forcing me to grind for a full armor set before I reach the first area...

Took me about 10 minutes at most? I left to clean dishes in the meantime lol

 

[RPGCrazied]

Jesus, it's saying 2 and a half hours to install DLC. Is that normal?

Please tell me this is wrong! I'm not even halfway yet.

 

[ike_]

So one of the first quests I got was "Welcome back, Connor." Connor later used the phrase "oh sweet baby back ribs."

8-4 was involved in the localization weren't th-OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TWO?

Anyways, I am enjoying this game a lot.

I don't understand why you bought that game if the aethetic isn't your type...

Thanks.
Looks better zoomed in too but couldn't be bothered.

swapping high-pitched Japanese VA #29607983228 for Edea's VA is obviously gonna result in a massive improvement

She is the best thing so far.
Had to geek out with her at the place lol

"installing downloadable content"

also why the hell did it make me clear up ANOTHER 10 gigs on top of the 15 it made me download. I thought the DLC packs only needed 10.

 

[RPGCrazied]

"installing downloadable content"

Yeah, this is really slow for some reason.

 

[-tetsuo-]

I don't have a problem with the asthetic, the character models just dont look good.

I think that's his character. To one on the right is

[OrbitalBeard]

Anyone grab the strategy guide? Worth picking up?

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah, this is really slow for some reason.

Weird, yesterday it took me 10 mins to install the data packs.
Edit : I moved stuff onto my external hdd so I could get everything directly on the Wii U. That's maybe why it was faster.

 

[Chaos17]

I want to know that too.

Weird, yesterday it took me 10 mins to install the data packs.

Same for me, only the download took me a little time.

 

[Azuran]

I was just walking by this huge monkey monster who decided to wake up as soon as the sun went down. I tried running away but this huge boulder from miles away one shot me lmao. That's probably enough random exploring for now. I haven't even reach New LA even thought I been playing for 2 hours already.

Maybe its the old USB drive I'm using. I just hit halfway now.
