Speaking of Yardley, I'm on the quest "Yardley's Scheme" right now, is California Sunset one of the random items you can find on Primordia? I must have picked up a billion items at Primordia but not that one.

In the barracks. For chapter 4 you need to complete some missions first and survey 15% of Primordia IIRC. It should say the requirements when you select the mission.
They can be found in the Cave you go to as part of the probe chainline. In the Silent Mire.
Hold L and move the right stick up and down to zoom in/out.

Wow. I can't believe this is a Wii U game.

So as someone who has a game coming hopefully next week, what are some settings I should remember to fix as soon as I get into the game. Any sort of options or things I should work towards before I get too engrossed in the plot?

I gotta get 15% exploration of Primordia to move on. What raises the percentage besides placing probes? I covered half the map with probes and I'm starting to find it annoying trying to find the hidden ones.
I thought landmarks would increase the percentage but I didn't notice it going up.

Thanks! Just found one.
Completing the "objective" for each hex.

I've been playing for hours with my head up random monsters butt's and unable to see a damn thing.

I'm currently walking around in first person mode talking to people.
It's actually super weird as the camera zooms in over the shoulder so the viewpoint is slightly to the right of my character's head.

At first, I was kinda confused by this game, but now that everything has clicked together, it really is something special. I really hope it does well, the game is a fucking masterpiece.
On a somewhat related note, I really hope the folks at BioWare take note of Xenoblade X. It feels like the kind of party based open world rpg Inquisition was going for, only far more refined.

Oh cool, where can I see those objectives? Thanks btw
That I'm not sure of. They're what the map icons refer, things like named monsters, or loot to grab. At least I'm pretty sure this is all related.
Just grab some quests and finish them off. The Probe-fessional line, that you have to do anyway, helps a lot.

These ladies ready for work in New LA
How did you get the white outfit?
mini rant/question i posted somewhere else but i need an solution. help?
i played Xenoblade mindlessly didn't pay attention to anything as long as something toppled in x, what i'm doing so far is "listening" to what other characters are telling me to use during combat hoping i could topple something
I usually just auto attack, wait for something to glow, use it, then "listen " to what elma wants me to use
Sometimes i kill something really quick even if its a level higher, sometimes it takes too long to kill something even if its lower level cause i usually mess up QTE's
am i playing right??
In xenoblade they had chain attacks in XcX i see something similar like that line connecting your player but this time the line isn't connecting to the other NPC, just the monster so i'm confused
also I don't know how to properly "heal"my teamate, like elma died, game doesn't give me option to "revive" her, also my current class only has healing spell for my character, not the entire team
i sometimes do a QTE right and everyone heals, but that QTE feels soo random
i can't get the rhythm of this combat\rant
I don't know if the text may be too small to see, but if you see stagger you should go for the topple. Adding to that, you want to be on high ground and on the side or rear as much as possible to increase accuracy and crit chance. As far as the soul voices, they text is color coded, so just select an art that shares the color and you'll get bonuses, often including hp restore. Reviving requires 3000 tp
Soul challenges often follow up a successful soul voice chain (like if elma ask for a melee spell and you successfully pull it off, you'll get a soul challenge, or if you're going to take lethal damae, it'll often give you a soul challenge and if you succeed, you won't faint.
I may not be 100% on everything, because i'm only 3.5 hours in, but that's what i gathered in my time with it.

I got killed by this. Thought it was wreckage I could loot and then it one-shotted me.

Get matched into a lobby with 31 other people. SQUAD mission (bottom right of screen) has 5 objectives, usually to kill something or gather something I think.
When your group of 32 completes all objectives (you won't run into people in the field, but kills in your world will count towards the SQUAD mission total) a Nemesis (difficult world boss) will spawn.
At this point you can go to the Blade Barracks and go to the console room (you'll know it's the right one because there will be a bunch of player characters walking around that you can talk to to either invite to party or ask for their division support bonus).
Here you can select a SQUAD mission to take on the Nemesis. Each squad for this can hold up to 4 people including yourself. After you've assembled the members you can launch the mission using the door to your right I believe.
And these other 4 members are live people?
I got caught into an affinity quest I didn't know how to complete (the one where Lin has to fix something), and I had to look it up on the internet because the game doesn't allow you to quit affinity quests or take story quests simultaneously. It took me quite a while to grind the random drops from the robots, and it took me a really long while to notice I could get into Oblivia, only I was trying to get there the wrong way.
The way the game doesn't mark multi-objective missions on your map is a real pain at times like these, since I didn't find a way to know where I was supposed to go, and Tatsu's guide ball doesn't appear to work for those kinds of missions either.

3 + yourself.
When you put up the mission from the console people from your lobby will have to join it, they will get a notification.
The follow ball only works for Tyrant/Normal monster kill/red collectible quests I think. I think it's kind of dumb that the Follow ball won't point you towards the collectibles you need.
Because you literally have fuck all to go on when it asks you to find a collectible that you have never seen.
I took this quest before stopping for the night and coming here. Seems like i'm in for a long adventure tomorrow.
Not bad
Alright thanks.
Just in case you want to know where you're supposed to go for the final part of the quest:
- The tube parts are dropped by the lv9 robot enemies by the aliens' camp to the east of NLA
- The first item on the list is found by deploying mining probes (go to the map on your bottom screen and replace a set probe with a mining one, but I think you'll need to deploy several of them to get enough of that item)
- The items you need to find in Oblivia are easy to get, all you've got to do is get to the northeastern part of the map by making sure you're on high ground (you can't get into Oblivia from below), and then walk by making sure the overleveled enemies don't spot you. Most of the wildlife in Oblivia is non-violent, so you can just run around for a while until you get the five items you need

I've spent almost 15 hours in the game and I haven't started Chapter 4 yet. I did a bunch of exploring in Primordia, somehow swam my way to Sylvalum by going off of the map borders and did a bit in Noctilum and Oblivia.
I love the environments in this game. And the fast travel makes it so pain free to get around to different areas that I've already been to.

Pro-tip # 1: Save before doing an Affinity quest.
Pro-tip # 2: DO NOT SAVE DURING AN AFFINITY QUEST.
Pro-tip # 2: DO NOT SAVE DURING AN AFFINITY QUEST.
Yeah I saved beforw starting Yelv's affinity quest haven't saved yet, but I am supposed to beat these lvl 16-19 monsters with no party members and I started it at 14 cause.it had no lvl restriction. Haven't re-started yet cause I already dis 2/3 of the missions which involved lvl 11 stuff, so I am puzzled why they didn't just put a lvl restriction on this one.
