Has any melee Character here gone with commando instead of striker? If so how do you like it?

 

[komorebi]

I am copying my game files from my HD to the internal memory in order to help with the load times and pop ins. After that it's back into the game. "One, two, three, four!"

I did this last night and its a bit better, I think. My HDD is a 5400 though so that's probably why.

 

[MilkBeard]

Wow...I've already sunk over 10 hours into this game. Yep, it's legit. Definitely clicks with me more than the original Xenoblade Chronicles, even despite the flaws.

Gameplay is just addictive.

 

[CAAAAAAAAAAAW]

So, for scientific purposes, would anyone be willing to make a short video(or point me to one that already exists) of the list of items you can redeem reward tickets for, at the online console in the barracks? The descriptions are all the same, so you can just press right several times to scroll through them faster. And maybe one for skills for all of the classes too, you can see all of them available for each class if you hit X in the class change menu.

Names of collectibles and quests would be greatly appreciated as well, but only if you've got a decent chunk of them completed. You can display cleared quests in the quest menu by changing the filter with the Y button to show All.

In case anyone missed it last night. I've got most of the "where's that?" things in the game listed in my googlesheet, just not with the English names :<

 

[TheMoon]

Blocked in my country :/

No proxtube installed? Anyway, it's this.^^

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

I've been taking down tyrants that were 2 levels higher then my party on my first try, but I had trouble with a normal giant ape that I had to beat for an affinity quest that was just 1 level higher then me . Finally beat him on like the 5th time by adjusting my tactics a bit.

 

[Branson]

Is there no 5.1 sound in this? Can't hear anything from back two speakers.

Like, I still can't believe this. This has actively ruined my excitement over this game.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Which female voice do I choose???!!!! Ahh!!!

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Chooses to geek out at Skells. Lin prepares to show me her Skell fanfiction. I have made a huge mistake. I find it hilarious that my character has a stern look on his face the entire conversation.

But Lin likes tea so she is alright in my book.

I'm enjoying myself so far. Can't wait to pick a division and get back to exploring.

 

[bodine1231]

Is there any way to cycle between targets after hitting R? There were two monsters right next to each other and for some reason it kept targeting the higher level one and I couldn't figure out how to move it,pressed everything.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Fiora.

Yeah use R+Y/A to switch left and right respectively.

 

[Xenoboy]

Can Lin go beyond being a shield trooper?
Like, there's another class after that and I imagine that only the MC can change classes.
Any answer?

 

[Askherserenity]

I keep remaking my damn character. I hate myself.

 

[Kissenkopf]

8 hours in and...and I like it even more then the first Xenoblade. Yeah, maybe the crew isn't as chatty as Shulk and company but the world...this damn world. It amazes me every time I take I step into it.
The fights feel good from the first second on and I just love to explore the world, get new gear, finish a few enemies and progress slowly with the main story. Yep, this game is totally my jam.

 

[Evilkazz]

You can still dash around during battle to get your positioning right!

I'm 5 hours in and I just thought to try that. Being commando class, dashing around to that back of an enemy, and using backslash feels so good.

 

[Kadin]

Old weapons and armor, sell from inventory screen, sell at some vendor or save for something else?

 

[silva1991]

I don't like ZR for jumping.

does this game support pro controller?

 

[lucablight]

How do you install the data packs? I've already downloaded them all. Are they installed automatically or do I have to now go and manually install them as well?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

how are people uploading images from the Wii U?

automatically installed

Start the game after downoading them.

 

[MattyG]

I wasn't going to get this until I played the original XBC but GODDAMMIT I need it now. The sense of scale from the videos I've seen is amazing. Going out to buy it right now.

 

[Qurupeke]

how are people uploading images from the Wii U?

Go Home and then to a site like imgur and upload it.

 

[lucablight]

yes


automatically installed

Cheers mate. Would be nice is there was s way to check they had been recognised.

 

[Auto_aim1]

What field skill should I invest in? My mechanical skill level is 3 and I think it's required to install probes. Should I just continue increasing that?

 

[PotionBleue]

It's weird that you can walk on VERY steep slopes:

It makes exploration fun though, I'm not going to complain Reminds me of Valak Mountain in Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii).

 

[Anteo]

The first area has one probe that needs level 5. Im working towards that first

 

[aravuus]

Imgur -> upload -> browse computer -> choose the screen you want to upload

No idea how it works with other sites

Also, my main point of confusion so far. Maybe someone has some insight. Gear. It all seems pretty terrible. Even the crap I'm too low of a level for. The stats are not impressive at all. I can see there's some effect crafting to be done, but is that all? Or is there actually good gear at some point?

I'm not far in (haven't even started chapter 4) but yeah, it's a bit weird. I very rarely seem to come across gear that's actually a proper upgrade from what I've got. It's always a few points more to some stat, a couple of points less to some other stat.

Not a massive fan.

 

[OverturePT]

Welp, back into this World... doing some off duty shopping, gun still at my back of course.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I want this but I don't have like any space left on my Wii U for all the extra stuff I'll need to make the game run smoothly. Like I'll need to clear house...

One question, does this game have a Bestiary? Xenoblade not having one was literally the biggest flaw for me since the monster's were so lively and seemed to have their own ecosystem, the fact there was no way to really keep track of all of them was annoying and bothered the "PokeDex" fan in me. Every RPG needs a Bestiary imo.

Imgur uploading is AWESOME. You need to make an account of course so you can save them and use the links when you get on a computer.

 

[Exile20]

I nearly spit out my juice when I first saw the opening area with the flying things.

Then my eyes opened wide when i saw that HUGE monster with th elong neck.

This is "Jurassic Planet: Mira"

 

[Askherserenity]

I think it's insane how there's no load between the city and the open world.

How the fuck

 

[Squishy3]

There was another area were the beam was inside a cave, not visible from above. So the other options is a cave around there. Or a cave on top of the rock formation.

I braved the cave filled with level 40 grexes below it that attacked on sight and it wasn't in there, so yeah.

 

[Projectjustice]

What does these green exclamations marks mean above these indigens? Ive looked online and in the manual. I cant seem to find an answer. Anyone know?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

is there no reload option? If I lose a battle but had a save right next to where I want to be, do I seriously have to exit to title screen and come back to game?

 

[komorebi]

Yeah, press X or A to cycle between them.

 

[Dad]

Fiora.

That's the worst one though

 

[Squishy3]

But yeah, holy shit this game is so good. Just finished chapter 4 and unlocked the AM that makes stuff to replicate xenoforms. So good.

 

[Zombegoast]

It's your average slay x number of enemies side quest.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Aren't saves tied to last landmark?

So death puts back exactly were you would be with a save?

 

[djplaeskool]

Yes, you can Skyrim your way to completing some exploration objectives.

Interested about this as well.

 

[Dad]

I think it means they're quest related

 

[R0ckman]

Is there an easy way to track materials?

 

[Projectjustice]

Thank you!!!!

Awesome, thanks!

Ah, thanks. I guess I'll increase it.

I've seen this and looking in my mission log, it may be to kill them using a Titanium Knife II, which I don't think I have. Only a worn one.

I'm stuck on finding this "Calfornia Sunset" ridiculous theres no marker or even rough area to search.

Yes. You can view their 3D models.
