Topic: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

@StephanDLW I would say the Torna the Golden Country might help address a lot of the problems you had, but if you don't want to play it because XC2 wasn't too enjoyable to play, I understand it too.

You know, I keep hearing this, but Trails in the Sky FC was one of the most poorly-paced games I've ever played in my life. It felt like all build up and no satisfaction at the end.

@Dezzy Thanks.

I find this interesting because XC1 and 2 are happening concurrently and briefly converge at the end, so it's basically one story.

@EvilLucario 2's grindiness depends entirely on how long it takes you to get a certain girl and her bear. She was the last rare blade I got (I never did get KOS-MOS) and it ended up taking me nearly 200 hours to 100% because of that.

@StephanDLW Didn't say it couldn't, I just find it interesting

I just started xenoblade torna the golden country and I"m confused on how to heal in this game. Can someone explain to me because it's different than in xenoblade chronicles 2.

So I went back into this game after a long break, and I'm trying to find a specific piece online. Haven't beaten it yet so no spoilers please.

Any links or knowledge of the name of that piece would be appreciated

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. It's called Disappearing World

I finally beat this game after forever. I love the twist at the end tying the whole thing back to the first game. What's even better is it makes the whole first game's story more logical.

I'm stuck on the Malos fight where your just fighting him, all my characters are mid to high 50s. I want to use a chain attack on him, but he kills my companions before my meter gets high enough so I have to spend that reviving them. Been grinding, but that comes slowly when your that high. Advice?

@paburrows Try changing up your party. And are you using all rare blades? I always find it's not worth the time of day to use common blades for anything other than merc missions.

Perhaps a weird question to ask so many years after release, and I don't expect many answers, but what is everyone's favorite Titan/Nation. Mine is the Leftherian Archipelago. I love the setting with its many islands and Fonsett Village is such a calm little place where I'd love to live myself. The music too is wonderful throughout.

Oh yeah Leftheria is by far the best. Probably my favourite location in all 3 of the Xenoblade games actually. Something very heavenly about it. They're just geniuses at world design and the way they can make you feel the sense of a place through its design and music.

I'm honestly a bit surprised with the responses so far. I was under the impression that the Leftherian Archipelago wasn't that beloved. I've seen it described as being boring and empty by many. Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves this place so much. 😊

@Knighty_IX
You described the Archipelago particularly well. Good job! I love Temperantia as well for being this big hunting ground, especially at later levels it becomes quite fun to roam around in.

@Dezzy
Monolith Soft sure are great at world building. I can't wait to see what they come up with in their next game.

@Rexenoboy

Yeah it is boring and empty, but I think that fits with the whole theme of the place. It's the "safehouse" you find along the way on your dangerous journey. It works because it's a temporarily pause in the story pacing.

I liked Mor Ardain most because it's got a real steampunk vibe going on.

Still, Leftheria is the one place in the game that's free of corruption and decay so I can see why so many would like it.

@Matt_Barber
I love the atmosphere of Mor Ardain as well. I just wish they had done more with the old factory and industrial districts.

Time for the next question:
Who's your favorite Driver/Blade combo?

Mine is Rex/Corvin. I love playing solo with Rex and he's awesome at doing that with Corvin as his blade.
Most playthroughs I pick up Corvin as soon as I can (early chapter 2) and make him my main blade. Once I hit Chapter 4, I go solo with Rex and start wrecking everyone who stands in my way.

@Rexenoboy I haven’t played that far through but Nia and Dromarch are the best in the early game. Both move set and personality wise.
