Nope. One dropped a robot helmet, I will now kill every cute and cuddly thing until I get even more robot gear!
Though the first 30 minutes in both games is similar. A few cutscenes, you thrown out in an open world to explore and a bunch of menus and options that make it look like an MMORPG.
So, maybe play a bit more?
The dev team per se has said that there's less focus on story, but the rest is excellent.
Now that you mention it this does seem to play like an MMO that's afraid of actually interacting with other people directly. Meh, not a huge deal to me.
5 hours in so far and i'm a bit mixed on my experience with it. The story premise seems interesting (although basic), the characters are somewhat cool, and I do like the world itself. However, I don't like the controls, the music is hit or miss (and more often miss), combat is kind of boring, and there's a LOT of asset reuse on the map.
Looking forward to digging deeper with it tomorrow, here's hoping it becomes funner.

I have heard that the end part of the game really picks things up but that's problematic if you want a compelling story throughout.
Do they drop more than the helmet? I'm looking for a left quantlet.
Yeah, I don't know if I accidentally broke the mission. The enemy indicator and positioning of the item seems to suggest that you're going to get spotted, but the angle I came from around the cliff seemed to avoid the line of sight. The first approach I took, they saw me before I could even grab it. I think you have to approach from as far away from the monster as possible.
I think it's supposed to be doable at a low level, since the follow-up mission isn't crazy difficult or anything. It was just the way I did it didn't seem to be how a game designer would want it completed. I dunno.
I did it at night, I think you're harder to spot then.
You monster! How could you kill such a cute critter?!
Robot gear. Don't care.
No clue.

Probably already done.
Just getting to the meat of the game it seems with BLADE quests and whatnot. Has felt like a 6 hour tutorial lol. And yet I'm still pretty confused. Seems like many systems in the game, like simply picking party members, are quite convoluted. Enjoying it so far, but man is it overwhelming.

Near Seaswept Ridge, from the very bottom right of the map go up one hexagonal marker and then to the left diagonally (up). After teleporting there go forward a bit and there's a base to the left, there's a couple of them around there. Btw, when I was in a squad mission that included them they were not dropping anything, after the mission was over they immediately dropped what I was after.
The tyrants in this game are amazing. Watching videos and stuff in advance doesn't give it justice. That feeling of running through a field that you're not completely comfortable in with much higher-leveled creatures in the vicinity... And then, "OH GAWD AN EVEN BIGGER ONE IS RUNNING AT A BREAKNECK SPEED STRAIGHT AT ME, HIDE." Really does feel like you're in dangerous wilderness.
Also love it when those big milousaur things sneak up on me. Just roaming around, making a few turns, and, oh. There's a giant foot.

So I am really enjoying the combat system myself. So much so that I spent two hours on the
I don't really understand what triggers a combo just yet or if there is any way to predict when the B is going to flash on the screen so I can prepare for it and execute perfectly?? Seems like a case of just listen to your teammate and do what she recommends...
Anyway the game is beautiful, the controls are difficult to master but are already starting to feel pretty natural to me and combat is engaging. Liking my experience so far, not impressed with the story however and that may be the only downside.

Gamepad plus pro controller is the way to go
use the gamepad sitting on the charger station while playing with the pro controller
you have the map right in front of you and can touch for fast travel and different views
but I know everybodys set up is not like my room with easy access
Amazon has been doing this for a while. USPS sunday delivery.

Amazon has been delivering on Sundays year round for a while now. They do it via a combination of their own carrier and USPS partnership. Not just the holidays.

So uh..where do i get the materials for Lin's affinity Quest?
Yes, finally. It is glorious and you were so right, it even has Mike Shinoda rapping! Been listening to the soundtrack these past two days and I really like itHaha ...have you heard the main battle theme yet?
It's going to make the wait difficult, but I have a long Christmas break coming up and don't want to start the game before then. I watched the Survival Guide videos and they sealed the deal. This game is going to keep me sane during winter.Quintin DM

Ya same thing happened to me, it doesn't seem like there's any option in the menus to reconnect either, unless I'm missing something.

How do you get reconnected online after it disconnects you?
As far as I can tell, the only way to do it is to return to the title screen (be sure to save first).

Hit the system button and go to the web browser. Go to your image host of choice, log in (so you can access the photo without writing in a long URL) and hit upload. It should show images from the main screen and gamepad, upload it and your done
You can then just visit the image hosting site on your PC and grab the photo.

It's not good.
It's even worse when I have to listen to it for 10 seconds while waiting to respawn.
e: I like the Overed/Tyrant music though. Cheesy, but at least it's exciting.
It's happen to me quite recently, some delivery services offer delivery on Sunday's now. It costs considerably more for the person shipping the product, but it's an available delivery day now.

The beginning of Xenoblade Chronicles had an immediate plot exploration they throw you into to play, the beginning of X was very MMO-ish where they just have some sort of long cutscene setting up the events, absolutely little to no character development, and the gameplay is pretty much the same with the exception of the additions they added. But they changed a lot of the menu's and interactions with objects and monsters which is more similar to MMO games. I felt like I was playing on a empty server of WOW.
I'll play more later, but I'm not having a good first interaction with the game. Which makes me upset D:
Awesome, will try it, thanks.

The first thing to do in this game is conquer a mountain.
The manual is your friend, I have to reference it a lot.

You monster! How could you kill such a cute critter?!
I felt pretty bad when I cut off it's ears.

I'm seeing major NPC's with like actually cool mustaches and hairstyles and here I'm stuck with this pleb hairstyle and beard I chose at the beginning.
Anybody know if we later unlock a way to get new hairstyles/beards? Or to change our character's appearance if we regret something?

They really go either way, for me at least. The main battle song has grown on me and the Tyrant theme kicked ass, but the NLA tracks are kinda silly
