So... noob question even after 105 hours.
Before the weekend I was farming the level 35 multiplayer co-op boss thingy that required the blade medals to accept the mission. I got quite some reward tickets but not quite enough yet. Problem is, the boss doesnt seem to be here anymore though. The console tells me there are currently no missions available.
Is he timed or am I supposed to farm something else as well to access those mission?

You use more than one skell? What kind of ace pilot are you!?

37 hours without rushing it and I'm just getting my first Skell. Man this thing is AWESOME!
I'm still amazed at the lighting on the skells. Looks way beyond a WiiU game
Just remove all TP skills from someone with good HP and Attribute defences, give them either a TP gain or TP Max (lots of armor/weapons have this one) and they should usually have over 3000 TP with nothing to use it on but reviving teamates.
For a while I had Yelv's use his HP < > TP swap, he would usually begin the battles with those, and I would use a healing art to quickly get heal him, so he would end up reviving teamates if it were to come to that, I eventually found a better build and just gave Yelv his TP arts back.
Melee combo is you first use a melee art before another art, whether ranged or another melee. Same with ranged except you start with ranged. Basically, a combo follows the type of art you used previously before the next art.

What triggers the appearance of a global nemesis and how do I fight it? Need them tickets real, real, real bad.
Ok, so if I do melee art -> melee art -> melee auto-attack -> melee art, I'd have two melle combos at the start, but not a third after the auto attack, correct?

Do you do some kind of post processing on these shots? They're amazing.
Just use the web browser and abload.de to upload a shot.

Anyone have a recommended level for chapter 5 before I start?

No, you've just been conditioned to think that Wii U has shitty graphics by low budget ports from outside devs.
Yup. I think there's some sort of a time limit, so if you act fast after the melee auto-attack, the third melee attack can still connect to the melee combo. Same with ranged. I tried to experiment it with a multi-hit art that gets boosted with a melee combo. The first half still gets boosted while the other half gets none because I used the art a bit too late after a melee art.

but that takes too much effort!
Nonsense.
Now go out and buy 100000 copies of this game!
Ok thanks.
I think I'll switch to

timed/global hp bar
Galactic Knight is a melee king. Like almost every art gets criticals at melee combos you just forget to use those psycho launchers lol. Though I prefer duelist with True Stream Edge and Blossom Dance

You done goofed.
Just try and refresh the list by exiting and entering again. Just pray it will appear soon though.
Because it's great? C'mon both OSTs are great in their own right. No need to compare and make them fight.

Could someone remind me who to get to the Caravan with Tatsu's brothers and sisters? I didn't have Lin in my party when I spoke to them but I've forgotten how to get there.
Its different but it has a lot going for it tbh and some of the areas song are already up there with the best of the best of Xenoblade (Primordia (Day) = Gaur Plains)
I will concede that each area of NLA could have variations of the same theme (like the Bazaar in Skyward Sword) so each area could feel more unique but eh, I like that song and the night one.
Well, its called The Perfect From isn't? =P
Please tell me it's not HB.

Look at MK8 again, the matte vehicles. Don't get distracted by the jaggies, though. Not saying it's the same exact tech (I have no idea) but a lot of it gets lost in the cartoony graphics and ultra hectic gameplay of those games. Or the fruit in Pikmin 3, remember how everyone got hungry looking at those?
Level 30
Grind your way to get first skell, not the best tip but I can't figure out below level 20 grind spot
To grind to level 30, get license and first level 20 skell and farm at
FN site 214 east noctilum, jump off the ledge kill level 28 mobs, they look like dinosours, once not giving much experience move to
South oblivia, go to balance rock, go east and farm
Level 32 turkey chickens, then farm level 35-36 dinosaurs east of balance rock
You can get to balance rock from south coast, south oblivia, maybe try FN site 313
Level 40
Sylvalum west, place called badr basin, swim to continent if you have to, close to FN site 408
From there go to north east pentagon area from badr basin
There will be 4 skell enemies forming a circle
Kill the enemy skell that is lonely without a buddy
Fast travel to farm the lonely enemy skell
Farming the skell near badr basin will drop great level 30 skell weapon and armor
Buy level 30 skell
I used verus
The lonely level 40 skell dropped a SRM XM330 BB sword
Very important to grind for this sword.one G buster hit and One BB sword hit will hit 75% life out of level 55 enemy skells
Please tell me it's not HB.
It's Kojima.
I usually go for dual guns + longsword for superb TP gains. Maybe I'll try that one. I usually go with photon saber + gatling gun for super fast MAX overdrive counter.
Dual Guns + Photon Saber is godlike
#BlessPrimer
that reminds me I mastered GK last night but not sure which class to switch to now. I'm dreading losing 1-2 skills when I switch tho. Don't really feel like changing my build at all but I know I need to keep hoarding skills.
The OST is mostly fine on its own, but the way it was implemented it was pretty bad, the music will drawn out the dialogue in cutscenes, or use music that just doesn't fit at all. Or overuse some like the "comedic relief" music.
Then most battle music has lyrics, which you cannot hear cause the battle dialogue drawn out that.

Yea but it's a different game with a very different atmosphere. You shouldn't compare the two.
I will give it that
Like when we discuss battle plans and theres a dramatic song full of singing in it....
why
It also tends to drown out the cutscene
The OST doesn't really fit a lot of the time. Then again, seems standard for Sawano. Attack on Titan has it really bad.
Names Xeno
I expect Xeno tier music >_>

I think I was fighting the final boss and then I died.
I'm still just a level 47 running around with some random level 30 skell. I guess it's time to do some side-quests.

They're not even remotely similar but if we're talking preferences i defenitely prefer XBX to XBC, not that XBC is bad or anything.
About to do this with decent gear on my team of 60s and a 50 medium, 2 30 mediums, and a 30 heavy
Hopefully I don't have too much trouble.

I thought we we're friends ;___;

Sorry man, but in terms of OST
Xenosaga 3>>>>>>>>>>XCX>Xenogears>Xenosaga 2>Xenoblade>>>>>>>>Xenosaga 1.
You're right in that Xeno music has always been fantastic though, besides the lack of it in-game in Xenosaga 1.
We can still be friends tho!
Uncontrollable > They will know our names
Yeah that's right I said it
Nothing touches Mechanical Rythm
Uncontrollable > They will know our names
Yeah that's right I said it
Uncontrollable is the only song I openly like a lot.
I'm not really a big music guy, but the thing I appreciate about this soundtrack is how unique it is. Haven't really ever played a game that sounds like this. It's cool.
Xenoblade obviously has a fantastic soundtrack, but at the end of the day it's similar to most other JRPG soundtracks.
