Really loving the game so far. Monster ambushes are hilarious. It reminds me of a random battle almost. I really like the music outside of a few tracks. It is just enough cheese and I disagree with the notion it doesn't fit the game. There are some tracks that embody that futuristic frontier vibe so far while exploring the world, while the music that plays in the NLA sounds like some sort of futuristic R&B. Which seems in line with the timeframe the game takes place in.
My only gripe so far is that when you level up and change classes that have different weapons you really start off with so few useable skills. I changed right before an unexpected boss fight and got wiped out because I had 2 usable skills. (and was a bit underleveled) No biggie, I just went and did a few other quests, leveled a bit and unlocked more skills. Just would be nice to start with at least 4 different skills, especially when you just came from having more than you could fit on your bar.

My favorite affinity quest so far was definitely (affinity quest spoilers)
helping Tatsu get his dad's Kamina glasses back. Too bad he doesn't actually wear them after the quest ends.

I happen to have a clip of my fight with it, sped up because it was incredibly stupid and took forever.

After chapter 5 I heard.. But you have to do a quest first. Don't know which one though... I like to know too!
I saw this and was really confused, than walked back to NLA and now cant stop laughing
I can relate to this.

Keep an eye out on this thread, these guys are trying to find out. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/701151-xenoblade-chronicles-x/72941993
This. Some people are just craaaaaazy for disliking the music so much. I like it. c:
Though I will admit the music can overpower the voice acting a lot during cutscenes.

Is there a post already about how to get BLADE Medals?

Tell me about it... When I saw I needed some random drops from the probes over time, some drops from enemies that only spawn 3 units in the whole of Primordia, and some random blue orb drops in Oblivia (where I hadn't been to before), I knew I made a huge mistake. Thank god I already had 3 of the white cometites and got the rest of the drops pretty quickly, but I still had to fuck around for a while untill I got the last 2 white cometites.

I had your stream on a little bit* and I saw when you had started that quest on your stream at least when you got the collecting objects up on screen and was thinking to myself "when are the frontier net ones going in increase?".
I'm starting to notice a trend in that affinity quest and frontier net equals progress block (many people were having troubles with a new rival).
*-Loved the bit where you deployed a probe at a deposit guarded by some level 40 enemies right before they one-shotted you.
It is in the manual
Randomly upon doing squad tasks.

When you hold R and tap L you can see what you have to kill/collect for the squad tasks. Didn't know about that before.
So much yes.
I already explored a good chunk of the second and third continent meanwhile because the damn mining stuff just did not drop for me. I assume I'm a bit overleveled for the chapter 4 story missions now.
Lol I kinda like it especially since this is a true open world because I'm having to plan out routes on the fly, and sneak by high levels, especially in one instance I had to sneak by these two lvl 30 monsters guarding a bridge, I stuck as close to the edge as possible also using the sprinting jump, and made it without getting wrecked.
Thanks for the tip! Didn't know about that either.
Man, i love Noctilum. Nice music and really colourfull. But then there is this stupid tyrant, Oskar, the Summer Squall, that keeps killing me. I'm lvl 14 and he is 11, but he has an AoE laser attack that is just ridiculously strong. Everything goes well until he starts spamming that :/ Any tips?

How do people level in this game, quest don't seem to give exp
How many hours are you in?

You sure about that? I've leveled up from new locations and I'm fairly certain turning in quests has given me exp.
And instead I take on a quest that has me go to the northernmost continent
This gonna take a while
That guy destroyed me with his disco lasers four times in a row before I just moved on. I can't wait until I gain a few more levels so I can go back and kick his ass.

Is there a fast travel point somewhere inside New Los Angeles?
I joined Curators. Division actually doesn't effect anything other than what buff your character provides when online when people ask for support from it, and what activities earn you the most points towards increasing your BLADE rank.
You can fast travel to any landmark inside NLA. When viewing the whole map (upper left button on the Gamepad) each district is also available to be selected, also including the interior of the barracks.

Huh. I guess you relatively rushed through the campaign to get to it asap then?
Because they kept saying it takes approximately 30 hours. You did it in half the time.
Plenty. But it's silly you need to zoom out to the continents and on the right there's the different areas of NLA in the gamepad. You can choose one and fast travel.
I didn't mind it in the first area as it was mostly easy to avoid and they tended to be out of the way places anyway. However, I'm now going through Noctilum and it's annoying me quite a bit. Sometimes it's really close trying to avoid them, other times its nigh impossible due to them being close together or them suddenly appearing from above/below and you just have to run through and hope that it only kills your party members. I took to saving a damn lot because I was losing too much progress if a suicide run failed. xD
Edit: Does anyone know where these damn Spherical EM Motors are? I've searched about 60% of Noctilum and still not found em.
I defeated it when I was level 15. I'm in samurai class. I increase my defense to 58 for my main character and my team member is elma, lin and lao. Although I was level 15, it was still a hard battle. Try to use soul voice to heal.
Maybe i should do that to. You just wait Oskar, i will kill you
Edit: My soul voice can't really keep up with his DPS. Maybe i should look into the setup. Ah well.

15 Hours ???!! bloody hell it seems you have rushed the game(and that is not a good thing) to get your skell, because 15 hours is VERY VERY short to get it...
And you will realise very soon if your are low level the skell will not really help you...
What? Practically EVERYTHING in this game gives you exp. Even going somewhere can level you up.
Anyway, I need help: how do you people mine rare resources? I need some white cometites for an affinity mission, it specifically says to FrontierNav to gather them. So I found a probe which is in an area that gives them and placed a Mining probe there. After a long time, I received no white cometites. Interestingly enough, I already had three at that point, no idea where or how I got them.
