Finished Chapter 4 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. The main story is very interesting, very excited to see how the story develops.
Now doing the affinity missions. All the ones I meet requirement and recommended level for. I would have been much further but I got stuck on a quest, umm... Repair something, Lin's affinity quest. It required White cosemite or something, and I had no FN that was generating it, so took me a while to get all 5 of those. I am still not sure which probes to place where, currently I am going with the stats of FN, if production is high, I go with mineral, and if revenue is high, go with research, but pretty much every FN in primodia has lower revenue stat than production one.
Also not too sure about AMs, I have been investing miriam in it, since I never have enough items to develop any new equipment. And since equipment changes soon enough I am not sure if it's worth spending on upgrading them. So keep investing so that I don't hit the limit (which I have increased twice by using Storage probes. Any suggestions?
And can I sell all the low level stuff I have? Or is it useful somewhere? Always think about looking it up then forget.
Oh, and I love the sound tracks! Someone poke Nintendo to add all Xenoblade tracks in their Nintendo Music app.
Started Dragon Age: The Veilguard last weekend, and just didn't feel like playing it. Chances are I may delete it if I feel the same this weekend.
So, downloaded TOEM and finished that. Got the Platinum and completed the free DLC too. A very nice, cozy game. You go from level to level helping different people by taking pictures or doing some small tasks. Each level is small and divide in diaorama-ish looking screens. (I am not great at explaining things, am I?)
Art style is monochrome-ish, but very clean. Music and sound effects are also very nice.
Highly recommended for cozy game fans.
Well, that's about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Got lucky since I already had the necessary items for that mission, but a friend of mine also complained about being stuck on that one for a while. Not being able to cancel Affinity/Story missions is one of the few annoyances from left the original that I wish had been fixed on the DE.
I focused on building combos when installing my probes and it worked well so far.
That's a few quests that request Miranium, but other than that I did the same and just kept feeding any I had left spare into the AMs. You get an extra use for it once you unlock mechs since they use if for fuel, but even then there should be plenty.
Probably? I haven't seen any use for low-lever gear myself and I'm much farther into the game. The only reason I haven't sold mine is because I didn't need to since I have a dumb amount of money piled up from FrontiverNav income.
Playing Xenoblade X!
Finished Chapter 9!
A few days ago I decided to rush to get the Flying Module, and it worked mostly fine, with only the Chapter 9 boss being a roadblock - that one took me a few tries and even made me use some of the healing items I had stashed for the first time. Then I decided to satisfy my OCD and went flying around the world installing every single FrontierNav probe, so I now have the world fully mapped! 🎉
Currently doing a bunch of Affinity Quests that I had pending, will probably balance between these and trying to do at least one Story mission per day. I'd love to use the Easter holiday to finish this game so I can play something else during my trip abroad next week, but not sure if I'll be able to do it.
Oh. I didn't know this was available for switch. Thank you.
Ah, thanks for the info.
Is this games smaller than other XC games? Or are you just playing a lot? The map does feel smaller, though I am just going by the map screen. Haven't actually explored most of it yet.
The opposite, it probably still the biggest map in the series.
Transversal is relatively fast because you character is quite speedy even before Skells, but the overall area is massive.
Interesting. And I agree that traversal speed is pretty good, though I can't recall how it compares with other games in the series.
Found a video of someone who did their best measuring the worlds of the Xenoblade series. They meme a bit about XC2 being the biggest if you include the Cloud Sea, but put the real measurements at the end.
Their results, in square kilometers:
Wow... That's some major difference.
That's including "explorable" water/cloud sea portions for all games, but even if you cut down to just the landmass the XCX map is still around 100 square kilometers.... and that's not counting the parts of the map that have several "layers" like mountains, caves and floating islands.
