I don't know what it's called in the English version, but when a character wants you to use a certain type of ability, and you use it, it will heal you.
Wow, the special edition USB is a lot heavier than I thought! I was expecting it to be made from cheap plastic or something, but it's actually cast in metal. A shame the capacity isn't greater. In any case, I reformatted the drive, freed up the remaining space and added the entire Chronicles X soundtrack to make the most of it.
Bumping, as I want to get this mission over with & (finally) have my giant robot.
Aight, thank!
Figured I'd called it a night at this point but I'll get on it tomorrow
Guess I'll just run past them and hope for the best

Can you just fast travel there...?
Alternatively there is like a portal thing near the blade HQ I think.

Ohhh that makes sense. I kept seeing button prompts but didn't know what they were for.
How does levelling work? Is there any skill points or anything I need to worry about? I've levelled up a few times and haven't done anything with regard to stats

I'm Level 24 but need to be Level 30 to start Chapter 8...any quick ways to level up?
There should be a teleporter by the Blade Tower, it's a bit hard to miss really.

You unlock arts as you level, and you can use BP to upgrade your arts. There are also passive abilities you can set and upgrade.

Thanks again. Cheers
Also I'm so sorry guys, I see now the healing info is in the OP, should have read that more thoroughly
As you level up you will gain new Arts, and you can go into the menu to both assign arts and upgrade them using battle points so they are stronger and have shorter cooldowns. There are also skills that are gained for classes. I'm still figuring stuff out myself too, even after playing the crap out of Xenoblade their is a ton of new mechanics to take in.
OH MY GOD YOU ARE A GENIUS! Jesus Christ I set Lin to Do what you Like and Elma and Gwin to Assemble followed by Use Ranged attacks and we curbstomped the guy. Thanks again you have no idea how much this dude was pissing me off
You are a saint. Thanks, man.
Yeah, you wern't kidding about the teleporter, but I honestly never saw it when I went pass the tower.

Easiest way is to grind monsters that are higher level but still reasonably easy to kill. If you kill monsters like 10 levels higher you will get a lot of XP.
Once you get a level 30 doll, and throw a phoenix on there, levelling becomes pretty trivial.
Snake wearing a Unit 01 suit
Try killing the Javelin Insidia near Oblivia's FN Site 314 (southernmost one). They're around level 31-38, but fairly easy to kill and give super good exp (even the lowest level ones still give like 300+). Been grinding them since level 25, I'm now level 30. Didn't even take long.
omfg the "PROPER CHOPPER" quest you get with the "find the em spherical sphere"
INFURIATING quest. do not take it if you have the chance. finding the sphere is a joke. its one of the blue little diamond things and from what i can tell its a radom drop in the white weeping whitewood.
Please if anyone knows a quicker way to get it would be great

You miss on prize tickets you can use to buy crafting materials I think.

There's so much to do here.
I was already feeling like there was a ridiculous amount, and then I started messing around with stuff like investing in weapons manufacturers and upgrading equipment.
This game kind of feels like it has everything.
But it also feels like nothing is really explained without going into the manual.

A bit of a tangent to the current discussion in here, but the Discord link in the OT is giving me a error message that the invite link is either incorrect or has expired. If anyone who is currently in that Discord could generate a new invite link, that would be much appreciated.
As for the game itself, I'm really enjoying the expanded combat systems Monolith have brought to the table. The stronger focus on positioning for attacking appendages and numerous Arts is a natural extension of the first game, which I personally felt didn't quite have enough of this outside of Shulk and Riki. I've yet to delve into weapon mods or even use Overdrive, but I'm already digging all the options at your disposal.
I know it's a divisive topic, but I've also really warmed to a lot of the music in this game. The environmental music so far as been mostly fitting and enjoyable, and I've even come to like the New LA themes. Alas, the main battle theme still bothers me as soon as those lyrics drop; I honestly prefer to get spotted by enemies for the alternative theme. Not to mention a few cutscenes with overpowering vocals making it hard to hear the dialogue...
Looking forward to playing more when I get the chance, especially with some fellow GAFfers.

I kinda dislike the way the game stops you from continuing the Story Missions if you have not met certain requirements. The fact I have to go and grind Survey requirements to carry on the story is a little disheartening.
I git shoved into a squad with the game giving you no real way to opt out and hardly any active quest. Go to the Job Board which is rammed full, take a few and found out some of them are impossible. I can see the stars but some stuff is just too high level.
ffs game. I love you but you keep slapping me around.

Ok thx. As long as it's only tickets I guess I'll manage without them.

I just reached Noctilum, I think I'm in love
And it is SO huge and has so much variety...I was blown away after I realised how big that continent is.
The game is really so good. Loving nearly everything about it, besides the missions where you have to get some items and don't even know where you should start searchibg for them. But everything else is fantastic and this game might end up as my personal Game of the Year. Even the story starts heating up after chapter 4 and is enjoyable.
I get disconnected very often. The Wii U's wifi is trash.

Doesn't the Follow Ball work on that quest?

Finally got my Skell after almost 23 hours.
I agree with you on all points and the thing that freightens me the most is that personnaly I didn't even touch the skells gameplay and I'm already hooked to this game even more than Fallout 4. Truly brilliant game.
But as I've read before up the thread the fact that almost nothing is properly explained to the player is the sole issue I have for now.
Nah, because I have to farm a mat from a particular enemy. So the quest just tells me to kill this enemy or its variants. The bestiary just lists it in Primordia, so I had to look up where exactly they are, and Headwater Cavern is it.
If you're past a certain point you'll have the follow ball so you can set your current mission as the navigation target and use it to help you find your way. Also, the aerial cam can be helpful to get a bird's eye view of your immediate surroundings.
EDIT: OK so you can't use the follow ball.
Headwater cavern is actually accessed from the bottom of the waterfall. I was just there.
I've really been enjoying this so far, but I can't believe they decided not to let you abandon quests. I saw the warnings before starting so I always save before an affinity or story quest, but if I had just gone in blind some of these affinity quests could have easily caused me to stop playing.
You're the best.

Alright, i'm opening this. Wasn't sure if I could keep my LE, or just buy digital when i have more time, but damn. The sense of exploration looks amazing.

I can only accept no more than 20 missions? Whyyyyyy
I personally feel the grind starts way too early. You just get into the game, slowly learn the combat and have some grand adventures and you're quickly pushed into "Grind to get further!" territory.
Had a good few hours in a row and had to put it down since it started to annoy me a little.
