THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
I didn't expect enemies being 50+ be there..
EVERYWHERE!
That's crazy

Tried to walk around and they saw me!!!!

I had to do the same. I can understand once or twice but most NPC conversations get blown to bits by someone rapping or just the music being way too loud.
Finished Chapter 4, doing some affinity quests before Ch. 5 (annoyingly, I am "trapped" in Lin's quest until some materials are finished mining). But the scale of the world continues to impress me - this is a shot atop one of those rock formations on Primordia plain; this is one of the few games that literally delivers on the "You see that mountain in the background? You can go there!" promise of old.
Cash towards Skell and random stuff as rewards.
The good thing is that you can collect stuff in the world, start the quest and actually complete some as soon as you get them.
Wow... I didnt expect that

Chapter 5 End Spoilers
Just found out our character and all humans are robots. Its honestly not that huge of a deal but it wasn't a "twitst" i was expecting. pretty cool
First impressions (10 hours in):
I've mixed feelings for the moment. The main discomfort I have with the game is that I feel overwhelmed by a lot of things appearing on-screen.
There are probably half a dozen gauges I don't know what purpose they serve. Eventually I got that my main XP gauge was in the main menu only. So all the stuff appearing aside my health, no idea.
Secondly, the controls are a bit stiff. Pushing L to run is uncomfortable sometimes. Camera with R is a bit slow, even with the max setting. Same with L to center the camera. Could have used a button in conjunction with motion controls here IMO.
And third, I don't like the story introduction. It is self-centered, like, why am I the hero? Why everyone is wowing at me while I havn't spoke 3 words in 3 missions. Why is everyone pushing me to enter BLADE... And the worst thing, I never got to an hospital so far. I have been picked up from a stasis pod crashed in the jungle, and boom, now I'm working as a hunter. Story intro lack an hospital scene, and a short hospital <-> BLADE hall walk to try to get some bearings in NLA.
Those aren't big problems though. I hope I feel more at ease soon, but usually with a Nintendo game, you only need one hour, not 20.

The two bars that appear next to your health are your character level and your class level.
Watch after you beat a monster you'll see a number pop up near them, that's how much exp you're getting.

I'll put this under spoilers just to be safe, but I believe this trick will be useful for anyone wanting to run through areas filled with High-level monsters.
One little trick I've discovered is to use Elma as the main character and use the Shadowrunner Art. It requires TP to use, so you'll need to build that up in some manageable fights beforehand. However, by locking onto a dangerous enemy and activating the art, it prevents any form of enemy detection, allowing you to slip past fields of detection enemies with ease. I made use of this little trick to nab that Comm device item for a quest in Primordia being guarded by some high level Rexes.
To make sure it works, target an enemy at a safe distance, activate Shadowrunner, and immediately put your weapons away by pressing B. As you're running, you made need to occasionally lock onto a new enemy, pull your weapons out, and then put them back so that you reset the battle AoE zone.
Hope this helps out some fellow explorers.

Not sure if I entirely agree with this. The way I see it, Elma is the hero. She's your boss and is the primary driver of the story. Your character is just a mute weirdo who makes a good BLADE since your ability to kill things is inversely proportional to your ability to talk.
We call this the Link/Freeman effect.

This is from the Japanese DLC announcement, mind you. Ignore the fashion gear bit and the prices, obviously since those are non-factors
You can auto-run with right shoulder button (or was it left?) +B.
Weird. I got a really different impression from the story so far . I don't feel like I'm the chosen hero or as if everything is centered around me. I'm just one of many in the BLADE organisation and I'm just doing my job there.

Oh man, so the three quests are just the things you do to recruit them?
That sucks. I kinda liked Alexa, but I'm a lot less interested in using her if she's just going to remain silent the rest of the game.
Some classes have Arts that heal. I know Psycorruptor, Blast Fencer, and Galaxy Knight can, but I'm not sure about the others.
Humm, good point regarding Elma!
However, I don't feel like my ability to kill things is impressive. That's why I recruit lv.20 people to level up (although this doesn't seem to improve my attack power either, next thing to do for me is buy some new weapons I think).
See, that's a thing people should post on Miiverse, not L+A to get some Yeah!
Which chapter does this spoil?

I ran into the same problem. Sound mixing is definitely an issue.
End of Chapter 5.
Ok thanks, I'm almost there then.
I agree that Elma feels more important but they *are* very interested in you. (Mild prologue stuff you'll experience in the first 1-2hour)-->
Elma decided to personally train you, Nagi came to see you to encourage you to join BLADE as did Vandham.
Baptiejames on GameFAQs said this:
Here's a screenshot.
Shows where on the map you should be. On the map I'm facing the branch you run up to find the motor. Just get to where I am on the map, face that direction and go forward.

OH GOD WHY DID I AGREE TO HELP LIN STUPID FUCKING QUEST
the white cometites isn't the issue. It's the energy tubes. It says to get them from puges but none of them are fucking dropping it and there's only like 3 or so in the fucking camp.
The fuck is this shit.
Please tell me the cruise deflectors aren't this bad to get.

What gave it away?
Can you just unequip everything on Lin? Her edited model looks even worse that I'd imagined. I thought it was only for a certain bikini. She seems like she'd look better with just the default sport under armor stuff.

You can take Lin out of your party to keep Tatsu out as well, but she's required for story missions.
Same with me. I haven't really figured out how she pairs well with Lin yet like the above poster said. I may have to reevaluate my setup with her. I think for the most part she's just under-leveled with my party.
Have you tried taking on the grunts? Some enemies are more forgiving than others if you don't have a high enough level but strategize well (especially smaller enemies). I think I was level 16-18 or something when I was doing that mission. I bypassed anything bigger than a grunt.
I found it at kind of a north eastern part. Took me forever to find it frankly.
Where it says Bloodpond Basin, there's a probe there, go kind of north west and follow the path round on the high ground to the right side of the area and you'll come across some paths with high level monsters. I found it on one of those paths.
Some people said that Weeping Whitewood had them but I went around there about 3 or 4 times and didn't find any. Whether it's super rare there, or it's rare everywhere and I got lucky where I got it, I'm not sure.

Anybody know a better part to get energy tubes? Fighting the same three dudes over and over again in hopes they drop it is getting annoying.
Try to break their beams, I heard there's a better chance then.
Otherwise Oblivia and Noctirum have a lot more of them.

If you have squad tickets you could try to see if you can trade them and get tubes

Just a quick update on the Discord link for those that want to use it. Some folks in the Xenoblade Discord room have provided me with a new invite link that people can use that shouldn't expire. If TheMoon could add it to the OT as an updated link, it would be greatly appreciated.

I find it funny that my strongest armor is a school blazer which gives 40 defense at this point in the game (only level 12).
One thing I noticed for autoattacks is that both weapons have separate cds. So if you smack with the knife, then swap to ray gun, you fire instantly, then after you fire, swap back to knife and you do a knife hit. Though ray gun cd is rather long so you would need to wait for another ray gun shot. This does make it slightly slower to raise the tertiary cd for a single weapon though because you are going back and forth between weapons.
