I pity the poor souls that play this game without subtitles. In some scenes you can barely hear what theh are saying because of those loud vocal tracks in the background. Seriously, who thought that was a good idea?

but doing the sidequests were the best part of xenoblade
North east of the Primordia probe just before the Noctilum, up on some cliffs. There's quite a few high level creatures but you can dodge them fairly easily.
It absolutely is - it's the smallest text I think I've seen in a modern game, and it's nigh unreadable when you play it on the tablet screen. That said, there's a lot of information to convey so I'm not sure how much larger they could have made most of the text.
One (unrelated) thing I've noticed is that my character seems to do significantly less damage than Lin or Elma (they're doing at least 5 times as much by my estimates). Is that by design, or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
I'm on wi-fi, and haven't had any disconnects at all besides when the game JUST launched. After that though I only had one disconnect in the 22 hours I've been playing so far. I'm surprised I don't experience any disconnects when I pause the game via the HOME menu.

Okay so this has probably been asked before but is there an easy way to raise the survey rate? I'm blocked from the next story mission until I get this up to 15% or something and a lot of the probe locations are around high level enemies.
I really dislike this content gating, at least in the first Xenoblade you could ignore most of the side stuff with not too much consequence.

Honestly, just sneak past or suicide run through the high level enemies to get the probes. You can recon the areas around probes to get survey up, but it's not always apparent what you have to do.
You'll be running past high level enemies a lot, so you'll probably want to get used to it.
The reason it works is because every quality and limitation was carefully chosen to showcase the game in the way they wanted it to be experienced. In that sense there are some limitations but they kind of blend in and the strengths outshine the weaknesses. Honestly if we are going to compare tech to last gen, this game is on a different scale. Only a few games come close to this size, and if they did, the frame rate was god aweful. The one game i can think of that competes is GTAV, but if i recall, had worse frame rate, but an incredibly massive budget. My memory fails on finer details, and i do rememberbeing impressed by how GTAV ran on PS3.
I think i like DF's article on this game.

This would be currently, btw, ~8 days in and it was sitting at ~74k.
Make sure you break the appendages, they drop items when they break.
Thank you for the link, man.
Yeah, I wanted to go and create a female character that had an athletic body type, but I hated that I couldn't readjust her bust size accordingly (B-C cup is what I originally wanted).
I was glad that I could scale her, as she's the tallest female character in my party. I couldn't find a cyborg arm, but I guess I haven't unlocked a set of armour that emulates that look.

Stable framerate and vsync (no tearing) are "tech" too and a tech that needs and eats lots of power, unfortunately a tech most PS360 and even many PS4/XOne open world games are lacking.
If the developers of monolith had decided to make sacrifices regarding gameplay and smooth visuals, they could have made a game with better shadowing/lightning and a 12-25 framerate with tearing, like most other open worlds games. Luckily monolith preferred the quality of visuals and fluid gameplay.

I tried to plug in the SE USB drive today. Only to find out through reddit that the .exe file inside it is broken and fucks with your drive group policy. How does this even happen?
Anyone who got the guide selling or giving away the eguide code? I'm having a hard time with some quests and would like to have the guide but don't want to buy a $20 book really
I don't have the guide, but it looks like Prima Games (who made it) are selling eguide-codes for $10: http://www.primagames.com/games/xenoblade-chronicles-x/guides/xenoblade-chronicles-x-eguide
Should be the same one as the physical buyers are getting, but as I said, I don't have the book so I can't confirm it.

So I lost my skell in a battle in chapter 7, google says it should be in the hangar now but it isn't. Am I fucked, is my game glitched?
Wow, XBX is going to do a lot better in America...
Still can't find my friends scout sitting around or through the search system. He sees mine outside his barracks every time he starts the game. It's amazing how long the game has been out in Japan but how little info there is on the internet. It almost feels like playing a game from the pre-internet coverage era. The strategy guide looks great but doesn't help much with the more obscure problems.
Finished up Chapter 3 and it feels a good time to check the manual and clear up some of the concepts I'm still grey on. Really dense game but satisfyingly so, haven't felt too overwhelmed or forced to interact with systems before I wanted to.
Didn't know much about the story going in but it's an intriguing premise that lends itself well to the open nature of the game. Ended up playing for most of the day and will put more time in later tonight, definitely has its hooks in me. Scratching a dormant MMO itch and giving me flashbacks to FFXII and PSO.

An open world RPG is going to do better in America (and most likely Europe) than in Japan, quick everyone pretend to be shocked!
