Does this game give you a sense of being in a larger universe, in terms of other players? Kind of like Demons Souls where you had a real sense that other people were in that universe, hard to explain but almost like the feeling of an MMO without it actually being one? Sorry if this is kind of vague, I love playing games where it puts across a sense of being part of something with evidence of other players/community.

Is there anyway to find the general location of a squad task?
The NLA music is pretty regrettable, and the battle theme really doesn't get any better with time; but I think I managed to lower my expectations enough to not take issue with the music - at least there are a couple of good themes in there from what I've heard so far.
I still want to play the alternate version of X from the universe where Takahashi approached Keiichi Okabe and MONACA for the soundtrack...

I would pay 50 dollars for replaceable DLC music. 60. No, wait, 70.
ONE MILLION DOLLARS. FINAL OFFER.
ONE MILLION DOLLARS. FINAL OFFER.
that would require either buying some single usb to y cable thingy or the purchase of an entirely new harddrive
Not to mention that as far as I am aware the second plug of a y cable generally is only there to strengthen the power supply(which is why for example the gamecube adapter when plugged into a pc only requires on plug to be in), which is not necessary as this harddrive is sufficiently powered via ac plug
About the second suggestions: Does nintendo have some digital refund system? Because while I have considered a physical copy, I am definately not paying twice for this game
If you active the squad missions yes.
Not really. The only hints you'll get you're even "playing" with other people are the squad achievement popups in the upper left corner (which get annoying fast) and the squad tasks on the lower left corner, which are kill/fetch quests that everyone do at the same time. No ghosts of other players or anything like that.
This is when you're doing normal gameplay. The game has actual coop squad missions too, which I have yet to try.

Covered in the OP's combat section. Look up "secondary cooldown."
The avatars of other players appear at random places throughout the world.
Also you can send messages to all squad members and communicate in real-time while out in the open world.
The game is USB Keyboard compatible also, which makes communicating faster if used.
I'm just going with it and wailing along with the seemingly random groans that accompany the track. Once that stops being amusing though (it already has) this music will drive me insane.
You can also put down messages for other players in your squad,kinda like Dark Souls and you can offer to trade items which makes finding items for quests a lot easier.
Oh yeah, you're right. Most of them were standing in the barracks for me, though, and barely anyone ever sent messages in my game so I completely forgot about them.
So yeah, I still don't think it feels like a living world when it comes to online players. Maybe my opinion will change later, though.
The choice to break away from the typical JRPG musical direction was sound in itself, but I'd rather they ended up with something more nuanced than the typical modern Sawano sound. If the vocal themes were of the calibre of those in Anarchy Reigns or Madworld, I don't think as many people would be complaining.
I do agree that the soundtrack is by no means all bad, though - I've just started, and I've already found a few tracks I really like.
Just let it go son.

Nice! didn't know that. Is that done by just changing the type of message you send?
This explains everything about the multi

I do seem to have misunderstood the "messages" you can +1 and such. It means normal chat messages and if they get +1 enough they get send to the ENTIRE playerbase.

Haven't had as much time as I'd like to play, only did the prologue and explored a little bit of NLA so far, but the game is so beautiful, so happy to finally be playing it. And I know they've been pretty divisive but I really love the cheesy lyrical tracks.

How do you level up your mechanical, archaeological and biological skills.?
People not liking the Sawano
People liking vocals being louder than the game dialogue...
Oh yeah I skimmed over that before and forgot about the Treasure Deals thing.
I had a good conversation going with my squad last night about game mechanics and where to find certain enemies. Definitely got those MMO feels (I used to play a lot of them!).
I noticed It doesn't display the name of the player who sent the message when they pop up on screen which is a little odd. Overall though I've been pleasantly surprised by the online features in the game.
To be fair to Sawano, that's not his fault.
I'm loving the game so far. Awesome battle system, huge depth in terms of the world and how every gameplay element works, great graphics and pretty good music. At least better than what Sawano now puts out there (the music was written before the Attack on Titan OST).
BUT.... there is one huge issue with the presentation. This game - I shit you not - is missing 5.1 surround sound COMPLETELY. It's in 2.0. First I thought it's like Nintendo always does it: Music's in stereo (which sucks, btw) and sound effects are in 5.1. But no, this thing is in stereo. Probably due to disc size constraints, but this still really, really sucks for me personally. And yeah, I'm the audio-nerd who is that one guy who has to answer for all the "Who the fuck cares about surround? I don't have it!" replies he gets on Twitter. Damn it.

You have to increase your BLADE level. After chapter 3 (i think), there's an NPC at the missions terminal who allows you to level up the field skills, 1 per BLADE level-up.
Level up your BLADE rank and talk the the woman next to the mission computer

It's because the gamepad has the sound disabled if you are not playing in Gamepad Mode.
Haters gonna hate but this is me every time a vocal hits in:

press HOME, go to browser, go to image upload site (imgur.com/abload.de) and upload. grab link, post.
HUD needs to be disabled manually.
TP are explained in the OP
...also in the survival guide video about combat. You guys should really watch that stuff.Xenoblade games don't have grinding. Just sidequests to do
You have to restart the game. (returning to title screen should suffice but don't forget to save!)
OP has an FAQ for a reason
They can affect the outcome of a quest, cause your party members to approve/disapprove (affects affinity rating) and potentially have dire consequences for the people you talk to
No. Only way is to enable Off-TV but then you have to disable it every time you need the map/UI.
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 it
Well it's not actually Mike Shinoda though (it's Sawano's go-to rapper dude whose name I don't know). But he does sound a lot like him which is why I always have to think of Linkin Park
No.
Hiroyuki Sawano, ladies and gentlemen. Love him or hate him.
(I choose the latter^^)
Yeah but which option is it?
The very last one on the Settings > Social page, has 'Achievements' in the title I think.
Perfect, thanks!
The music is an atrocious fit at times. Like why is there vocals playing in the background for a random conversation?
Sawano isn't responsible for the way the music is mixed into the game or how it is utilized after he has written it.
(I'm not defending him as a composer, to be clear. I think the music is terrible and a very bad fit for the game.)
But i can play other games on my TV while using headphones, how can i fix this?
