Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles X - OT

So the neck testicle creatures are called evello and they are awesome!

Just look at them hanging.

Why doesn't the game play the sound on the Gamepad (through headphones) when I have the map on the Gamepad? Would be really nice if they changed that.

sells all the clothing armor except the swimsuit stuff just in case, then finds out about fashion equipment....facepalms
Well...looks like I'll be playing this game in a bikini then. lol

Guys I got a QUESTION!! Will your team NPC (Elma and Lin) get their own skells as the game progresses? OR do you have to buy it for them? I'm at the point of the game where I can buy skells now and I'm not sure whether I should buy the skells for them (they cost a freaking fortune). If they can get their own skells later on, I don't want to spend all those credits for nothing lol.

Please answer it without spoiling anything. Thanks!

...gets one-shotted by a boss just from going near it THAT GIANT MECH WAS AN ENEMY?! xD
Seriously thought it was wreckage or something, dammit! xD

@Hy8ogen: Pretty sure you have to buy them.

@rishisquid: dayum. There goes all my credits lol. I vaguely remembered in the trailers Elma and Lin has their own mech with their own color scheme. Bummer.

I don't know how I didn't find out about the option to make your character look like an actual clown. (character customization, spoiler because everyone should be surprised by this option)

That made me legit lol.

So I had to turn off the game, because after 1 hour got me nauseated just like some of the early titles on 360, like Lost Planet.
Anyway, the graphics are okay, not mindblowing, but bearable. Anyway, worst part of the graphics is the pop-in - it's everywhere, and the game loading is not as bad as quitting, that takes long. There is also that scary thought what if I didn't download that 11GB pack/packs.

The worst offender though are the bugs. Well, maybe not bugs, but I found one pretty bad. After nearly one year of holding off the game to release outside of Japan, they could at least have the decency to fix unusable elevator. That's pathetic that in the beginning of the game there is a bug like that, year after release.

The music just sucks, there is no denying it. Same with bored out of their skull VO - why is it so hard to give the option with voices and leave japanese for anyone who wants them?

Also, fonts could've been little bigger and the tutorials better.

Yeah it was a lake, the one in Noctilum. I was just exploring everything, noticed I could make it to what I thought was a destroyed mech. xD
I like how in the index it says only two people defeated it, and over 2,000 people were killed by it, lol.

The game gave me a migraine because of its stupidly tiny text. I actually got pretty angry because there's no way this wasn't brought up during localization, they just decided it'd be less work to not include a text resizer. And any tutorials at all would have been great. I'm all for no handholding, but they should have at least offered in-game options for learning the tools rather than just have a random NPC in NLA spout out random bits of info.

Also, pop in was almost unbearable before I downloaded the packs. I had to delete everything on my hard drive just to fit the data packs. Now it's more bearable.

@Tsurii: I keep hearing you can pump resources into them, but I have yet to discover where to actually do that. I don't know if I missed it (when it was explained) or I just haven't been told. So far it hasn't really hindered me since I am only just now past Chapter 5 and I plan on tackling the majority of the side-quests before going any further. Add in that I have a bad habit of spending a hour just slaughtering entire Prone encampments.... and well it might be a while before I get around to Chapter 6.

@Tsurii And now I feel really dumb... Oh well, hopefully that is the only time this happens today. Thanks for the info, I look forward to upgrading my vendors. I like options and customizations.

On a side note, now that I have made it further in the story the 13 year old is mildly more tolerable. Still not a huge fan of the character overall, as she still seems to be a barrel of anime tropes, but at least some of the other aspects makes more sense.

Ok I'm going to ask, what's the bolt icon on enemy names? Can't figure those out...eye icons mean they'll attack you in sight. (unless they're under leveled I think) But, yeah...can't figure out the bolt icons. :/

Well I bought the game, and it's taking 8 hours to install the enhancement packs.

@Megumi: They'll attack you if they "hear" you.

Really?...I remember running once and they didn't attack, even walked slowly and they attacked. >.<

@Megumi: Yup. Per the manual.

Now don't ask me how it works. Unless I'm looking for a victim I stay away from indigens with one of the icons (in stealth mode -I love it- or simply jumping like crazy through rocks).

Bleh, whatever, don't care anymore...I unlocked skells now. lol

What's everyone's favourite continent?

I think Noctilum might be my favourite area in any videogame ever. It REALLY reminds me of Pandora from Avatar.
It's insane how they can make such a huge area in an open world game on an underpowered console and still make it feel so alive.
Some kind of wizadry has been used to achieve that place on the Wii U.
