I would have mentioned them, but I don't think a Wrothian would settle for sitting on the side lines. =) Also we can have alien party members. Don't forget poor L.
End game spoiler!
Technically also have Elma as an alien party member.

Yup, the bunny ears one and it looks like it is the giant sword, its redonks that they gave you such a good weapon for stock on a skell haha

There's a number of good weapons. The G-Buster is one, but the stock model is nothing special vs the intergalactic variant. Other good weapons for lots of damage include the M-Sniper, E-Scythe, and Drone (all beam).

The best thing about this game is when you already do something the story wants you to do to advance, I can immediately do chapter 9 whenever I want right now, it happens more and more when I go to do story missions, only one that gave me real trouble was chapter 8, I already had more than enough of mira surveyed but for some reason I hit a wall when it came to leveling up to 30, I was doing alot of sidequests because I am a mediator and fighting some decently leveled monsters(while trying to level up lesser used members) but it was going pretty slow, add that ontop of having to work everyday and deciding if i was in the mood to play and overall it took me forever.

Okay, anyone know how the heck I unlock The Gauntlet normal mission? Zo Ozuchi (sp?) is hanging with his crew in the Outfitters Test Hangar but his quest never pops up. I've beaten the game and am running out of things to do. I've done the Fortune line of quests too. What gives?

Are you sure you are not AKI?
they deleted known hackers, I guess they could return
I suspect AKI because I leave my gamepad on 24/7 and the most jumps you can get daily is 8-9k
he could stay offline for a week and jump without reporting in but he still seems to get numbers greater than hours/days should allow - I could be wrong
I had my reasons for wanting to lead this chart I'll keep at it anyway all summer if need be I do not mind second as long as Nintendo does not see my stats as cheating because these are hard earned Wii U on 24/7
I've been wondering this for a while now: how would people react if the next Xeno game became a pure ARPG?
I'd be fine with it happening. I just doubt they will consider it.

Remind me which fight this is?

Wrothian battle.
Fight was the exacty opposite for me (no surprise there). Foot part was a pain, but the skell part was a breeze.
As for the needing money for the equipping of skells, don't. Just farm the equipment. Intergalactic stuff is way better than the shop stuff, and farming is free. Also will build your level up so the fight isn't as tough for the first part.
Beam weapons everywhere.

Read the Iwata Asks. They did consider it but decided it would be too big of an undertaking along with all the other stuff they wanted to do for this game.
It took me a while to figure out that fight. Using the team command list really helped.
They did?!

Man it'd be great if they could get some help. Are there any action game specialist developers who have recently collab'd on a lot of projects, including a JRPG? Perhaps with a recent working relationship with Nintendo as well?
Me too. But I've since sold the game. Mira will live on in our hearts!
The only ones I know offhand who have done collabs with nintendo are Tecmo Koei, Team Ninja, and Namco.
Which one was chapter 11?
Its been in stock on amazon for a while. No idea if its a reprint or if Nintendo had more made before release.

Chapter 9 boss is kicking my ass, there was one instance where I was nearly going to win but then whatshisname,
used some kinda charge up single sword slash and it basically one-shotted me when I had almost full health, and he had way less than 1/4 health left, with I think all my teammates alive, but they werent doing enough damage to neither revive me or kil him before time ran out.
cat dude
Was this for the on foot part or the mech part?
When your character is still alive you can tell your teammates to conserve their tension points so that even when you die if they have the full 3000 they can revive you.
I found out using those team commands really helped. Like targeting one enemy at a time rather than having your team divide their firepower on 4 separate enemies.

On-foot part
Ive been using the team commands to tell them to focus on my target, which is usually the lackeys as they have way less health and I can get rid of them much more quickly assuming everything goes well which can be 50/50 sometimes but is happening more often as ive been leveling up because im killing the lackeys and getting into the rhythm of getting the button presses down, which for some reason im having a harder time doing in this game, despite that i can do them in my sleep in xenoblade 1.
reasoning being that it takes much longer to kill
cat dude and his body guard
The main problem is I cant keep hope alive most of the time tho she is getting better, out of every "4th member" of my team besides lin and elma, she is the highest level one at level 30 cause I like her, but she cant take a hit to save her life, literally.
>.>
Also be careful when you fight the main two enemies. I think they have an ability they will use where they can reflect your range weapons which causes you to take damage.
So I had to tell my party to switch to melee only.

Is that when they say that they're increasing their teamwork?

any gaffer when to post a pic of the latest Deep Diver leaderboard for me?

I can't remember if it was that or an actual skill name you see them use. You'll definitely notice though if you have a range weapon and each shot makes your HP rapidly go down lol.
When they say increase their teamwork it might just be a buff they have for each other once their HP goes down a certain amount.
Sadly I'm not near my system right now :/any gaffer when to post a pic of the latest Deep Diver leaderboard for me?

nit-pick special move activated!
Tecmo Koei (publisher/dev umbrella company) and Team Ninja (dev team @ Tecmo Koei) are the same thing
and Namco doesn't exist anymore, it's Bandai Namco or Bamco for lazy bums like me and I hope you forgot PG on purpose lol

Yes, but they seem not to take little damage
Part 4 of our Let's Play: https://youtu.be/vPreYI1XtZ0
Am I right in thinking that you don't really miss out on anything in the beginning if you're not connected to the Internet? Just because we got kicked off the wifi in the last part before we had a chance to use the BLADE ID consoles, so we haven't actually seen what they do yet.
Again, apologies if there's black bars around the screen, but I've got it sorted on the Elgato now for all recordings in future at least.

About the only thing being online early on will net you is tickets and division rewards. Even if you don't kill / collect the things in the current task, if somebody else does complete one, you'll get tickets. The tickets can in turn be spent on drops to speed up some quests at the terminal in the barracks. Meanwhile the division rewards are a daily thing that you can request at the same terminal. There's a number of things to choose from depending on where your division is ranked for the day - everything from items you can sell for credits to things that'll heal your party or increase their TP. These can be usefull if boss fights are giving you trouble, so it's worth it to stock up on at least some of the utility type rewards and not just the credits ones.
As for the scout terminal outside of the barracks, you'd only be potentially going to it for collecting scout rewards. I say potentially because that depends on somebody else actively recruiting you. It's most likely to happen when you're low level as medal fodder for higher levels. (They're not interested in actually using your character. Rather, they're just grabbing you because one fight later they can dump you along with two other lowbies and gain a few medals for their troubles.) An icon in the upper right of your gamepad will light up if there's anything to collect there. No need to go there unless you see it. Any real use of that terminal generally isn't needed until late/end game.

The stock one is a ticket to all the free intergalactic ones you want though since as soon as you get to 30 and buy a Versus, no matter your other gear, you can just go and one shot the things that drop it right by a teleport point. Drop increase gear helps but there is really no reason to not be getting full sets of that for everyone until cap anyway.
Here it is, fellow BLADE Gaffers.

Congrats and great job! I always like seeing challenges like this overcome.
I think I may be working a little too hard on exploring the world and not enough on the story. I've completed every FrontierNav miranium point, I've bought four L50 skells, I've done the three Off The Records, almost all my characters are in the 50s (MC is 60, of course; a couple of the DLC ones are 40ish), I've almost maxed out every class (one to go!), 140 hours in...
...I've only just finished Chapter 9.
Loving it still.
(Although, holy hell,
was a bastard)
It does feel like at the moment there's no middle ground; everything I fight is either trivial or damn near instagibs me. Level doesn't seem to be a great benchmark; I can struggle with a L58 Tyrant crab but easily kill an L63 Tyrant Sacrifole.
(Speaking of which: Are your stats when in a Skell a flat rate, determined by the Skell/weapons/augments, or do your own character level and stats have an effect?)
(And while I'm on the subject, it feels like I have far more Mining probes than I have Storage probes to accomodate. Have I missed a stash of Storage somewhere? I think I'm using them reasonably optimally, although are they at all effected by the ratings of the probe site?)

Storage probes (10 IIRC) need to be placed with duplicator probes and booster probes. It's the only way you'll get over 100k storage. You can get 120k+ using Noctilum. More with Cauldros, but there you have to give up bonjelium mining points, so that's a bad choice.
As for skells scaling with char level... I don't think they do, but I lack the means to test that in any real capacity.
