They should all be in the Union/Squad console in Blade Home.

Thanks!

Thanks!

all this and more about the DLC (unlock conditions) are in the OP btw

Now that Xenoblade X is done, I wonder what Monolith Soft will do next. Hopefully help with that Xenosaga HD collection(still a rumor for now, thanks Verendus), Namco pretty much said if they were to ever do it, they would want the team that developed the game.

Wouldn't that be a problem though? As far as I know Monolith is almost fully owned by Nintendo. I don't think they would let an internal team develop for other platforms.

Spoiler

or maybe the rumored Xensaga HD collection is actually Wii U exclusive lol

Obviously MLSI wouldn't work on a Xenosaga Collection that would land on other platforms. I don't even understand why anyone would want them to waste their time on this even if it were Wii U exclusive.

 

[tonyh24613]

Currently have

alien species moved into NLA including nopons and manons, each of them provide tons of normal quests. So many interesting side stories.

And so many NPCs killed by wrong dialog choices.;__;

Seems like the smarter decision. if they were going to do it. Release it on every console, maybe have some exclusive CE for the Wii U or something. Keep in mind Namco owns the Xenosaga ip, they can release it on anything they want.

Or Namco could try getting Hexadrive or Bluepoint to do it, but I think they might be to expensive.

Nintendo would never agree to monolith soft developing a collection if they didn't have exclusivity rights. Namco owns the ip, but that wouldn't stop an exclusivity clause being part of the contract

Xenoblade X Ep. II

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I've left Elma and Lyn out of my party for 95% of my game, are you sure you're not high on Mirajuana? You're only locked to those two if you're in one of their Kizuna quests or a Story quest, which probably isn't very long compared to time spent doing other things in the game. Unless you're only doing those things. I've been able to raise everyone's Kizuna enough while doing random other quests, that I was able to do their Kizuna quests when they become available without any problems. The Kizuna talks also help a lot with that.

I've just left Elma and Lyn in since they are required for almost every bit of the main content in the game. Makes sense just to keep them in the party at all times if you're going to be forced to use them anyway. Keep em leveled up and such.

Xenoblade X Ep. II

Does the game end with a cliffhanger? Don't answer that, I want to find out myself.

Well, let's just say that there's just a big room to expand the franchise. A sequel, a prequel, a story of the alien's side...anything's possible if we look at how Takahashi explores the depths of the story of his games.

Nintendo isn't gonna lend part of one of their internal studios to a 3rd party unless the game is exclusive to a Nintendo console.

 

[InternHertz]

Dat story mission 10 boss tho!
It was a good fight, quite epic.

My goal right now is to get a lot of the party members to either 2* or 3* affinity to get their next Kizuna quest, because the required level is now really low compared to mine so I better do them sooner rather than later.
I won't go into chapter 11 at least until that's done.

The only story thing I had trouble with was one fight in chapter 4. Aside from that, levels(or keeping teammates up to speed) haven't really been a problem for anything main-story related. The "side" content has been massively eclipsing the story anyway.

Which it most likely will be since they said they arent willing to do the HD remaster unless the director is onboard.

Hints or leaks from Verendus are to do with the Playstation.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Just beat chapter 10, but it wasn't all that exciting(I guess I am level 58...). A certain Kizuna quest that became available after it made it all worth it, though. Definitely looking forward to the rest of that line.

Is it because you didnt like Elma and lyn?

They will wait to see how Xenoblade X does first before starting another game, meanwhile Monolith will support other teams to finish development faster and work on PXZ 2.

 

[CAAAAAAAAAAAW]

Nah, Elma's aight and Lyn...uh, looks good in a sweater. I just want to give the other party members some time to grow(levelwise and characterwise).

Well monolithsoft has their 2nd team working on PXZ, and I believe the third team is the one helping out other teams, tho the main team probably helps occasionally aswell.

Monolith Kyoto is the support studio. That's their only job.

The main Tokyo studio is doing the original games. They don't do support work.

 

[Astral Dog]

I guess if they are planning something probably not going to be Xenoblade related, maybe a smaller title for the NX?

Given that characters not in the active party don't get xp (why did they change this from Xenoblade!?), how difficult is it to keep everyone leveled? Is it viable or should I just pick a couple favorites to use?

Also do you level up skills via AP ala Xenoblade? If so, how long will it take to get everyone in the party enough AP to max up their skills?

Eh, if you can kill some higher level things without needing a lot of help from the party, you could bump their levels up pretty quickly. The Dolls make that a lot easier too. After a few hours of doing things with a different set of allies, they're usually not more than ~5-10 levels below me by the time I'm done doing whatever.

BP depends entirely on how much you explore, open chests, and fill in the collepedia(or whatever else gives it). Unlike exp, BP does fill up for allies no matter where they are, even brand new ones. To max a single art it takes like...170 BP? Maybe only 100 for a skill. All of my allies have maxed out every art on their main palette and a few extras, and had more than enough to max their best skills. It shouldn't really be a huge problem.

Just go buy like a cheap armor set, have a bunch of exp up gems set aside after socketing said set. Then stuff it all in, equip the low lv player. Put them in a high lv doll and go kill things way over their level. They will catch up in no time trust me on that.

Thanks for the responses, guys! Good to know there are ways to mitigate this.

I'm still utterly puzzled as to why they changed this from the original, especially since there appear to be more playable characters in this game.

 

[CAAAAAAAAAAAW]

What side content are you talking about? The quests that aren't classified as main story/kizuna?

Pretty much. Most of the Normal quests are fun to play through, and flesh out the world quite nicely.

 

[theprodigy]

so, what's the highest level needed for a required story quest?

 

[InternHertz]

Can someone who finished it tell me how the end is handled (without story spoilers) once you finish the last story mission?
Is it like any other mission where you go back to the town and continue exploring/questing as if nothing happened?

Finally going for the Doll license now. Anyone know where I can find 3 ギ・ドウかぼちゃ on the east desert continent?

If so, he should be at the base level of the city, where there's a lot of water. Just swim to somewhere with boxes.

Questions about combat:

- Is there any way to tell which Arts cause Stagger and Fall without reading the tiny Arts descriptions? It's a shame they changed the color coding from Xenoblade.

- What is the meaning of the symbols to the left of the Arts description text?

- Is it worth messing with Soul Voice customization? The menu just looks overwhelming to me.

- Some Arts mention things like "stronger as a long-range combo". Does that mean they are stronger if I auto-attack with the gun when choosing the Art?
