why mythra such a semen demon?
smut when

The nips are failing us on the porn front. It's been, what, nearly two weeks and we've only got a handful of pictures?

>Do you even think getting the thing you want will serve the purpose you need it for?
Uh yeah that's why I been farming for 4 days shithead

>the system was designed so you can have favorites but aren't allowed to use them.

Nah, it's shit. People are going to have favorites and it shouldn't be THIS fucking tedious to get it. Been literally on this shit dock for 4 days over 1000 however many the fuck cores for fucking shit

Important thing: try to finish Dagas's affinity quest ASAP.
Once you do it his affinity chart resets and you start a new definitive one with him.

It bothers me that they changed almost everyone's name in the dub, it's gonna make it a pain to find porn.

who even are you rolling for

Do I still gotta grind affinity? I just have a H2H quest or something to do. I don't even use the guy.

I was in the exact same position you are once. At least wait until you get Zeke if you're going to farm, and if you really feel like you need to get one particular rare blade, then release all the ones you don't care about, because the more rares you have, the lower your chances of getting a new one.

>People are going to have favorites
This is a problem of the user, not the system. You are blaming it for your own failings. Get over yourself. I have favorites too. I want Kosmos more then anything. But i'm not complaining because I haven't pulled her in the 200 hours I've played of the game. I just continue to play and move on. There is so much more to this game then the rare blade system, but it seems your gambling addiction defines you more then anything.

>how to find XB2 porn
>type 'Xenoblade_Chronicles_2' into the lewd website textfields

I can't remember if you need to grind affinity for his first chart, but you do need for the second.

>Not posting The Torna Boys

That is a terrible argument. That is like telling someone who wants to use a specific character in a fighting game to suck it up and not use them and just play the entire game using other characters.

Rex will be dead by sundown

what blade are you even grinding for

I think it's retarded to waste time trying to roll something specific early on with low Idea levels/commons/not all party members, but it's also retarded to defend the system with "you can just ignore it".

Do yourself a favor and never play anything gacha.
That's what it is.
Unlike pure gacha you have better shit in the game you could be doing.

This town ain't big enough for the 3 of us

>XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 IS TOO ANIM-

The strongest Blades in the west

I kinda liked that scene though.
And that was very much the most anime thing in the game if I recall.

Xfags BTFO

Can you get master mods for Poppi in every level?

They're too busy drawing rock people.

Only lvl 5 apparently.

only stage 5

The problem is that people seem to think that the rare blades are suppose to be a 'collect them all' thing, when that was never the case. It was meant to be a way to change the game for multiple playthroughs. You never know what you are going to pull and can't count on certain strategies working. My second playthrough is nothing like my first and for that, I fucking love the system. It does that wonderfully. Does it have problems in the late game when you don't really get shit, sure. But that's only a small aspect of it that you only experience when you can't let go of the idea of that ONE blade that you must absolutely have.

To drop the entire fucking game and whine and demand a refund for it is probably the most childish thing I can imagine.

That was a rare occurrence in that game, but it did have its anime moments. XB2 is more like a caricature of the Xenoblade games.

T-That doesn't count.
T-The manon don't count either, neither does L.

-E

My waifu who is pure
No it's a shit system. I'm allowed to play the game with characters I like and it should not be this idiotic phone game gacha shit. The game is poorly designed

did someone overwrite the lower level uniques in the doc? because fuck if i can remember what they were

also why is enemy type even listed, damage bonus? because you still have to figure out what the fuck a parisax is

You mean drawing Finch

Damn. Gotta get good on that level then. Thanks.

>expecting anyone who likes these games to not understand that they are anime
They are anime. They've always been anime.
Ever sense Xenogears which had actual anime cutscenes.

That isn't real you know.

what blade are you grinding for
you refusing to answer makes it seem like you realized it's one of the quest-ones and are trying to save face about wasting 4 days of grinding

It's a weird chicken looking bug. Agate will remind you of this if you have her in the party ever.

Tell us who you're rolling.
Some blades tend to be more rate than others.

>X fag uses a fake scene
Pathetic.

Maybe but I doubt they are that much rarer than others. Of my 5 last rares I need Finch, Newt, Kora, Nim, and Zenobia. I feel like everyone and their mom got Finch early.

I think they stopped drawing anything but shiny rock people.
>5 zillion results on pixiv

so to get all rare blades I have to keep smashing this bat faggot in uraya? that seems boring

also how do you deal with level 130 enemies if your max is 99? don't they automatically one shot you?

I got KOS-MOS in chapter 8 and I still don't have Finch.

by getting gud

>don't they automatically one shot you?
Not if you git gud

i mean should we list the monster name anyway instead of flying, aquatic, bug, etc?

rare drop rate decreases as you get more rares, so it doesn't matter if Finch is one of the ones that people get early. She's now super rare because she's in the last five. Release some of the rare blades you no longer care about to try to pull her.

No she's too pure to even be mentioned. She's a normal rare blade like any other there is no special boogeyman shit with rates it's just a shit system and I shouldn't have to farm FOUR FUCKING DAYS on the same shitty dock for her. I don't even remember the story anymore at this point. This game has 2 days to give me my rare or it goes back to the store and I bomb every site with negative reviews so people don't fall for this shit gacha trap

>have this ugly bird bitch
>want KOS-MOS
Fuck you.

Yo guys, I am playing Xenoblade Chronicles 1 for the first time. I just got to the fallen arm and got seven as a companion. How much longer do you think I have to go? I'm trying to finish this game before I go home for winter break this weekend since I won't be able to play for almost a month and will probably forget the story and how to play if that happens. I've been nolifing it pretty hard and skipping most of the side content.

Yep, you were trying to roll a story blade.

It's ok user, we understand you were retarded and didn't realize Praxis was a quest blade before.

this is my greatest fear right here

FUCK you don't talk about my wife like that

>doesn't even mention who they are
you are playing the game right?

That is incredibly anecdotal. All that'd do is put Finch back into the running for rares. There is no hard evidence to support the claim that the more rares you have, the worse your chance to pull another specific rare.

Does Kos-Mos intentionally harder to get than any other blade?

You probably have between 10-15 hours left if you just rush through the story.

It seems like she's one of the last ones practically everyone draws, so there's some fuckery going on.

>No she's too pure to even be mentioned.
Adenine literally doesn't have any genitals so she's pure by default, but I still bring her up multiple times each thread, what's your excuse?

Cool, thanks, that's about what I expected. I kind of feel bad that I can't take my time with it, like I'm doing it a disservice, but I'm enjoying it a lot nonetheless.

Then where are all the lewds for Agate?

Is there any store deed that lets you use more than 5 boosters? I got one that increased my booster capacity but I need to be able to use more.

Also, do boosters REALLY help and how do I raise Ideas

Your wife is retarded.

Yes, both are in Mor Ardain. Check the doc in the OP, it has a list of store deeds.

You'd think with Pixiv's Land of the Lust obsession, they'd make a gem-styled Agate.

XB2 goes overboard with it, though. Character designs are one thing, but when you throw in the stupid expressions and characters talking normally in the middle of a crisis like when they're rushing to get to the head of the Titan so you don't get crushed by the ever increasing pressure. Or when Pyra gets captured by Torna and she's clearly having something done to her, but they stop to talk about retarded shit on the way. Or when they're trying to rush to stop Malos from killing the architect but they stop several times, one of them to have Zeke question what Rex thinks about humans and another to just stand around gawking at the desolate Elysium. All of these moments just have you sitting there wondering if the characters even care about what's happening. Those parts are just inexcusably bad writing.

Man, knowing how birds really work makes me not like Finch. Birds memory is probably one of the best in the whole world. Crows recognize faces of people and even protect ones that have been nice to them. You befriend a murder of crows and they will peck to death someone attacking you.

Wrong. Keep defending this shit gacha game stupid cucks.

Fuck off back to v

Its okay, user. We know you're a dumb dumb. You don't have to play anymore.

No, five boosters is the most you can use on a core.

>git gud

it's an rpg it's not like you can deal with it with reflexes or some shit, your tank either dies or doesn't

She is the very last blade I am missing.

>make you wonder if they care what's happening
I got the opposite impression.
Also the anime faces happen like three times in this 70+ hour game.

Could Rex get into U.A.? What would his quirk be

There is lots you can do to prevent that shit though. Also late game you probably won't be using tanks anyway, since crit rate gets so insane that you can heal all your health just from those alone.

Absolute Optimism. He can't be pushed to despair, ever.

>knows what blade he wants beforehand yet too stupid to find a more efficient way to farm
>threatens with user reviews like a manchild terrorist

you deserve every hour of your wasted time

How did you get the opposite from those examples? There's nothing fucking reason for those events to happen in those situations. Especially when the space station is falling apart and they all tell Rex that they need to go, but they all sit there while he continues to fuck around. Shit is blowing up around them and they are all just standing around like "na, we got time" all for the sake of dramatic storytelling. They could have at least sent someone to check on the escape pods to get them ready. It's bad writing. All of it.

So what's the reason given for why Mythra never used siren for anything other than the satellite beams? It's just a mech right?

Finally.

The whole "person or creature that is actively trying to kill you stands there and lets you have an entire conversation about friendship or feelings with your back turned to it" is probably the worst anime trope in existence and this game is jam-packed with it.

I didn't know this was a thing, then again all I do is camp in the R-18 section or search 尻神様

She's scared of it. She does later use it for more then that, but only briefly.

There's no way to check how many of the 12 you've found already is there?

Not really. The last one will tell you to visit the store, that's when you know.

Probably not. Just have to keep track of it in your head. I would imagine there is only one or two in every place.

Of course not, this is XBC 2 after all.

>guard-annulling attack
>annuls enemy defense

Is there a difference?

Guarding is when they block you, defense is their base damage reduction.

so what's an endgame team like? I don't want to roll blades on a character I won't be using

>want to fight that one superboss that apparently spawns in Tantal during the special weather there
>it's never the right weather

Rex Mythra.
Zeke Zenobia.
Poppi.

Wait, so if they have something like 35% Ether Defense like tanks have, you just negate all of it?

>more efficient way
>just play the entire game and then get your blades bro!
fuck yourself

I wish more attacks could break that stupid blade shield. Hate bouncing when they hit max affinity. Almost no way to actually prevent that either. I wish you could inflict stench so you could get enemy blades to run away and break the link.

Any character is end game viable. So it really doesn't matter who gets what blades. It only matters if you want to pigeon hole them in a certain role. That's why I find it funny that people worry about who they roll on, when the game throws you story and side quest blades that are more useful then most randoms, save Zenboria and Kos-mos.

The meta way of playing is rolling literally everything on Zeke besides Theory's core crystal, which is for Morag, and hoping that he gets Zenobia and Kos-Mos

Wish there was a giant squid superboss. I can't believe that entire area. You have fucking massive squids either floating around, clinging to structures or standing around on the tips of their tentacles. It's a very freakish sight. That, on top of all the other massive shit there.
