Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Are the Torna Blades unlocked through the story, or are they exclusively doomed to spawn via RNG? I recall the patch notes stated they'd be made available through the story at some point, though I've been reading conflicting things online.

Can someone clarify this?

@finalstan I pre-ordered it from there yeah, so they shipped it early for me. Also I live in Japan, so... XD

@JTMnM One of them is encountered through the story, the rest are RNG. But I believe he is encountered in chapter 10.

I'm a little confused, music usually appears on digital stores early for preorder yet the XC2 soundtrack is coming tomorrow and still isn't there.

Soundtrack is available on digital stores, it came out yesterday but searching Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn't work. The name of the soundtrack (on iTunes at least) is "Xenoblade2 (Original Soundtrack)" so the easiest way to find it is either by searching Xenoblade2 or a key location in the game like Torigoth, Mor Ardain, etc.

On other Xenoblade 2 news, 1.4.1 comes out tomorrow. Don't know what it does but I'd imagine at least the big glitch will be fixed.

Maybe it has been discussed but there are so many pages already i can't find it. I need some help on Pyra's affinity level 3 purifying flames. The affinity is still "????" and i wonder what conditions need to be met before the requirement shows (i know it should be the heart-to heart at the graveside). I already talked and slept at Corinne's House but it will not become visible in the affinity chart so i wonder if i need to get more advanced in the story first or if there is some other prerequisite i need to meet.

So according to the OST booklet, there was a comment about how they want to make Xenoblade X2 and Xenoblade 3 after the fantasy IP. I'm still looking if that's 100% legit, but honestly it wouldn't surprise me if they were made anyway.

I'm buying all three games anyway.

@EvilLucario Which would confirm even further the obvious outcome of XCX being ported to Switch as there's absolutely no way they'd have a sequel with the original game being limited to just Wii U.

Well, yeah. There's two ports that I would make it my business to get no matter what: Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade X1. And I have a feeling we'll be able to play both on the Switch eventually.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 would be a great idea for a Switch port. I'd actually be willing to buy it again, for the third time, just to finally finish it.

I think I'll grab all the XC games if they got ported... I just hope that I can adapt to the battle system (And hope they at least get rid of those ~5 levels difference, you get all these extra bonuses)

@Tsurii that is what i read everywhere indeed but it is strange as all other affinities in level 3 and 4 are already fulfilled now except purifying flames, hence i havea feeling i missed something.

So I have started the game in new game plus (which I'm loving btw) but I am unable to buy shop deeds. I did buy the Llysiau deeds but it's the only one that has actually appeared for me to buy. I have done my research and I have bought every item from several Gormotti stores but the deeds aren't appearing. Any ideas why this could be happening?

@Alber-san probably because all the items haven't appeared? There's items that only appear once you finish quest, at certain time, or once you move forward in story iirc

My X2 Deluxe OST arrived from Japan (Type B - CDs). I ripped it lossless straight away, in high quality the music is simply stunning, I am surprised how they changed Those Who Stand Against Our Path, it's almost like a remixed track (and sounds even better!), Argentum Day, which I always loved, has more brass, and punch in general, in it, which is wonderful. The extra 5 piano arrangements are very competent, Counterattack being the favourite (but the original track is just great so). Some jingles will become my phone notifications for sure. I am so happy with my purchase.

@darkfenrir
That's why I said I had done my research haha. I've looked up the items that can appear in each shop and have verified all have appeared in my game (specifically in Soniarus Music) yet the deeds don't show up.

I might have to progress in story then I guess.

@Alber-san You sure you've done the necessary Merc Missions to unlock the new items?

You also need to increase Development levels of each region to unlock more of those Merc Missions.

@EvilLucario
Yep every item is available to buy in Soniarus Music (unless there's an item missing in the wiki) but the deeds don't show up.

I guess I'll wait and see if I unlock it throughout the story.

@Alber-san just started in chapter 8. Going to do some side quests first now to level some development leeks and do some merc missions to unlock ROc’s affinity chart. Have the level 3 purifying flames unlocked now (seems you need to finish sh chapter 7 or close to it to make the heart-to-heart available). 75 hours in and have to say i enjoy this game more than i anticipated (doubted for a long time to buy it). But starting a new game + will have to wait as Y’s VIII is coming in 4 weeks. But at least i’ll have new game + for XC2, Zelda for when there is a drought in games (does not seem likely this year with everything coming still)

@Drussa
I bought the game on Christmas and have waited until now to start new game plus (finished the main story in feb I guess). It truly is a wonderful game and somehow I'm enjoying it more on the second playthrough! There are a lot of details I missed that now make a lot of sense. I didn't expect to enjoy the game as much as I did either and now I can't wait for a Xenoblade X port or the original's probable remaster.
