MY DEAD BODY

Why the fuck does she keep saying this?

So, when does the Azumi Merc Mission: Sureillance group return? It has been like 2 hours.

Go to Fonsa Myma docks. There's a quest there that gives you Azami back.

How do you get deeds again? I already bought all the items from a store and it doesn't show up.

An user mentioned a Heart to Heart somewhere that unlocks Poppi QT Pi Where is it?

This might be just thebritish version of when Americanssay they like the 'posh brit accent' but Pyra's voice makes me melt.

Island near Rex's home

I guarantee that Overdrives are not farmable simply because of the way that all of them are given to you; they are auto-inserted into your inventory as prompt triggers, not picked up like everything else.
If there ARE more to be had they may be in the form of a reward from an NPC or a SCRIPTED drop from a rare enemy, they aren't just going to be super rare farmable loot. Every single overdrive is a script trigger.

I'm so glad there's nothing like Tatsu in this one.

That means you don't have access to all the items from that store yet.
More items appear as you increase the town's dev rank and do merc missions.

Cool. does it show up at a specific point in time?

Does Zeke have a good story behind him?

Fucking hell why is Mor Ardain's music so good.

He's part of the reason I gotturned off the game, before anyone says anything I say 'part of the reason' because X had other issues, but his and Lyn's shit seemed to be pretty much present in every consectutive scene they shared, and he was an extremely irritating character as is. It got to a point where I skipped cutscenes (I realised how bad the story was and resolved to just play X for the gameplay) and he was a large part of that.

Reminder to save your game often.

I just lost hours of grinding due to a crash.

wait hold on. which ilsand? the one with the crashed ship on it?

Jesus christ, that difficulty spike with the Titan weapon. I keep getting mauled.

>all those fights to get to level 3 merc

It sucks more that after each fight you have some affinity you can do, but you won't know what it is until you talk to them then it is too late. I have no clue what would have happened if I had the appropriate levels for field skills.

To the dude who's completed it, can you get premium cylinders at some point later on/post-game? I'm at Tantal.

The core is a bitch yeah. I was tuck for 4-5 attempts, but I soon realized that chain attack modifier is bonkers. You can basically mow down the power cables within a single chain attack around half of its HP before the core boss use that ridiculous AOE

No to my knowledge. The only ones I got were from the rank nopon at Argentum. Might be rewards in some chests or quests.
It is certainly not purchasable in any area, that's for sure.

I accidentally closed the game to update, panicked, and realized I lost barely any progress because I'm rolling core crystals constantly.

please respond

Anyone know anything about this?

I got an amethyst chip that gives my blades a special effect, but it lowers my auto attack by a lot, if I use it will I keep the special effect or am I fucked if I upgrade from that trip?

Huh, amethyst chip was a huge auto-attack upgrade for my greataxe.

Did you ever find a 4th overdrive?

Anyone know where Jadeite Folly is in Leftheria?

I stopped rolling to complete sidequests
I'm not about to do all those quests again

Why are axes so SLOW
You basically HAVE to go for first-hit cancels

Also, does anyone know of the easiest trophy quest?
You get a free one buying veggies, and I've been told donating any money at all to your village is one
I need a third for this Clamp waifu

So how much of each titan is explorable? Can you go on Argentum itself or are you limited to the trade guild? Can you climb Gormott's head? Can you go on the outside of Uraya? Stuff like that?

not really

>mfw Zenobia's battle skills

NOBODY, ANYWHERE, on any version of the game, has found more than three overdrives and spoken about it.
Stop asking a hundred times per thread, if someone finds a fourth you'll fucking hear about it.

WHAT THE FUCK.
Why can't Nia's VA into shouting? Nia's clearly shouting in some cutscenes, why isn't she emoting correctly?
I had no problem with this before but with the Mik conversion I just...I can't...Nia fucking sucks in the dub.

After using this combat system in Xenoblade 2, do you think it would benefit from a "paradigm shift" option like in FF13, or do you think it would be unnecessary?

but thats why the dub voice is better

Also, anyone else find it hilarious how destroying that water tower just cause so much problems for Garmott over time? Andeveryone you talk to is like "Some fucking dickhead destroyed the Water Tower, if I catch him I'll kill him" and you just respond with "..."

Have people not looked by the spring in Alba Cavanich? Thats where I got my 4th.

What is with this Myrmidon Eugene fight? Did they add an extra 0 to his health on accident? I spent an age fighting this fuck only for him to run off the rafter at the end and suicide.

what are they

>When you're trying to get your party member to use their tier 2 special so you can use tier 3 but they change AI

That's the third. One there, one in merc camp, and one behind the recruiters

Nope. Not sure if there is more of them yet. I found 2 very early, and my third one was in Mor Adain at the hot spring inn like most people. I'm currently farming money.

Also, for those who also finished the game: does anyone know what's that "Catalyst Scimitar" weapon category? On my enhance art page, Rex has a sword-like weapon after the Aegis sword and before twin ring, with Saber Slash, Redemption, Hydro Blast and Water Flower, but I don't see any blade with that kind of weapon.

Increase damage by 60% against boss or unique enemy.
20% more damage for each enemy in battle (up to 250%).

>Hey Nia, how about you come rest your head in my lap
>Zeke, how about I rest my foot up your arse

The dialogue in this game is great.

For Perun:
>Buy a Coral Nopon chess set in Argentum (needs level 3 development and complete a merc mission) and give it to a kind in Fonsa Myma
>Buy a Silver Cylinder/Gold Cylinder and give it to a kid in Mor Ardain's capital. He's on a rooftop at around 5PM, on the outskirts of town
Godspeed user.

>that mythra/brighid heart to heart in morytha
Doujiin of them hatefucking when?

Best arts for Zeke's weapon? I don't know how to use him

Im absolutely in love with the bong dub

>mfw when rex calls zeke a pompous arse before the fight against him begins

>Get rare blade
>It's Nim
FUCK

It's also pretty well written how it seems that governer there actually was really good at his job despite his idiotic nonsense.

...

I'm almost positive it gets harder to draw a rare blade the more you have.

I've put so many cores into Zeke once I got him and have only gotten on rare so far.

You just know

So what's her personality like anyway? For all she gets shitposted on /v/ there's surprisingly little talk about her.

I NEED HER NOW.

Currently looking for some good chips and agl accessories. Found some Pentagon chips from higher leveled Feris is Gormott. Any where else to farm? In Chapter 5 atm

Middle aged Southern Lady who thinks she is a milf.

How do I unlock Poppi's Lvl. 3 Noponic Iron affinity reward? It says the condition is "Raise Affinity in combat" but it's listed as 0/5 when I should've definitely done that by now.

Pretty much what
said.

...

>video recording doesn't work for this game
why

*TOUCH*

My fucking Affinity Chart is bugged and won't let me go beyond 5/6 Volff kills in Uraya for Dromarch's skill. Anyone else running into this issue?

>in Uraya
isn't it in gormott though?

Where?

spoilerfags

so delete the massive collection of useless rares you don't use on other characters. maybe it'll get easier.

source

It's both

I double checked more than twice before and you're right. I'm not getting enough sleep...Thanks for putting me out of my misery.

Why is Salavage qte so fucking unresponsive?

>Really want to play as Zeke
>Rex is simply better

*teleports in front of you*
Goddamn Jin is busted.

Thank god Rex gets a free ATK rare blade because he's rolling all the healing rare blades.
Meanwhile Nia has Percival, Dagas, Agate, Electra and no fucking healers.
Can't wait for Zeke to roll the dodge tanks

Looking at Roc, it seems he's an ATK Blade meant for Tanks after establishing aggro, right?

Reminder to read all Xenoblade threads in Morag's accent.

she is literally all i want

I don't know what Meleph's accent is suppose to sound like.

scottish

Is Praxis ATK or something else? I'm wondering if she's a good fit for Zeke.

Where do you find Quoteletta (meat) or Steamwork Organ (Instrument)? For Morag's favorite shit.

Is there a way to increase a blade's strength score for merc missions?
I have one mission that requires 3 blades with 30+ str. But I only have one blade with that much strength.

Praxis is ATK, Theory is TNK

Strength is literally how many Affinity things they have unlocked. Some generics can reach that high, most can't.

I dunno, the game is spitting rares at me. I got 3 rare blades out of 4 commons and a rare just before.

>Want to use Morag because she's a classy ho
>Want to use Poppi because she's Poppi

help me decide /xgg/

If you can tolerate Tora Tora, Poppi
Elsewise, Morag

Try looking through your local western pornography website for drawn images

Give the ol' gal a little screen time

>Chapter 4
>Cast light on the evidence left at the Old Industrial District in Mor Adain
>Requires Nopon Wisdom Level 4
this fucking sucks

*Touch fluffy tit*

What area of the docks?

I love it unironically.

I'm assuming she's much better. Maybe I'll use Morag and switch if shit gets too real.

You can do a merc mission as a substitute for it, just have to wait 30 minutes for it to finish.

>Not sure if I'll win a fight against five bats who are a decent level higher than the party but i'm going to give it a damn good go anyway!
>First hit
>EXECUTOR
>Second bat procs execute three hits in
>Third bat procs it on second hit
>Fourth one lasts about 10 or so hits before being EXECUTED

What the absolute fuck is going on, it's only meant to be a 5% chance

Zeke is like the unluckiest motherfucker around, isn't he?
I haven't burned so many crystals on all other characters combined and I still don't have a single rare blade.

I thought it was level 3.
I did it with Poppi level 2 and Boreas level 1

So two questions, are the total number of party members you get 6.

And is there a new game plus? If no on number 2, is it even possible to start a new game without erasing your old one or creating a new NNID?
