/xgg/ - Xenogames General #47

We don't know anything concrete about the DLC outside of the fact that it's taking place in Torna, leading some to believe that we're getting a prequel story about the Addam and the Aegis War.

What the hell even is the conduit, did they ever explain this or is it just a deus ex machina we have to accept?

>that it's taking place in Torna
Where was this mentioned anyways

...

Some user said that there was an NPC in Tantal that described a future that's similar to NLA, but I haven't seen it.

I don't recall them saying anything about it taking place in Torna. Takahashi has said it can be done during the main story, so I doubt it's going to be a tell-all about the villains.

I do have Kora on Nia. Would it be overkill to use Vess in tandem?

I'm not even sure myself. I think Xenogears and Xenosaga bros might have an idea.
As far as XB series is concerned, it is simply an artifact that lead to some serious consequences.

I'm wrong in saying that it's a fact, my bad. But the Torna symbol is what started speculation.

I mean at least for now, no.
The only time you want to use your overdrives are if Nia doesn't have a good third healer of a different element, Morag is missing Finch, and if or if you pull KOSMOS or Zenobia on anyone but Zeke.

Not him, but I think people made that conclusion because the expansion pass features Addam's crest.

Canon couple cutest couple

We need one like pic related when the DLC turns out to be some summer beach scramble shit.

>Adam crest
Welp, I meant Torna's crest.

>the expansion pass is 40 Canadianbucks

This better be worthwhile, I'll wait it out and see

It's just so fucking frustrating and feels so invalidating.

Zohar has been a deus ex whatever since Xenogears. It's just part of the premise.
Maybe it'll be something wacky like Torna becoming Colony 6.

Why the fuck do I get one shot by birds when going to any objective for quests early in the game?
>inb4 just avoid the enemies
Yeah no I had to go find a kid being attacked by apes and two birds attacked me out of no where and killed me. I also had to go find two dudes hiding in a tree who have been fucking with a crane and a level 18 bird is literally perched on it and kills me when I get close.

I really really want to like this game but this shit is a joke

Well they're highly gonna add those Torna blades and quests for them. Could just be that.

>Merc missions unlocked
>released every common blade I've had rolled up to this point

Should I just restart? I really should've seen this shit coming.

>never played gears
>look up Zohar
>the exact shape is identical

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You'll get tired of releasing common blades soon enough

Why is that anons?
If anything, it wouldn't make sense for them to stay dead considering how the crystal core was left intact.

If Pneuma aegis core left Rex body with a huge crack like Malos', I would definitely expect a bittersweet end, but as far as it goes, the game has been quite consistent when it comes to core in general, and it is an aegis to boot.

You might argue she shouldn't have made people worry about her, but the synchro with the driver isn't exactly something common (other instances are blade eaters, which aren't natural nor numerous either) so there is no way for her to know if she will come back or not.

These mobs are named monsters and are like mid boss. They are vastly more powerful and resistant than any mob of the same level range.
just pay attention to your surroundings and avoid that kind of enemies unless you are prepared for it.

Finished XC2 earlier today and one thing is bothering me, how did Pyra and Mythra come back with their memories and why were they separated? Also what's wrong with a happy harem ending for Rex?

No, because common blades are easy as shit to get.

Just because you lose everything doesn't mean you're entitled to anything either.
What would you have happen? Have shulk completely disregard his actual love for Fiora, who he's known forever, had feelings for before all this, and is still alive, and go to Melia? Just like that?
Shit doesn't work that way.

Nah, the NG+ stuff is available for free. This is supposed to be something beyond just some sidequests and blades.
The original one didn't have the little arm dealies, but otherwise the depiction has been pretty consistent.

>level 18 trash birds that fly in swarms across the plains
No they are not named enemies.

She's definitely getting in as a DLC blade rite?

I would much rather it just be Rex x Pyra

Remember that the memory loss thing is part of the system Klaus established for the evolution process: Blades that return to their cores send Data to the aegis cores.
In this case, Pneuma is the aegis already, and there isn't any need to send data back either, so it is quite obvious that their memory data has nowhere to go aside of remaining in their core, so it is alright.

As for their body, it is very likely because they awakened Pneuma's power, but then went pouf due to the conduit absence, so it probably changed something in the core. Alternatively, it might be because of Klaus' last gift too. In any case, the system has changed, and Pyra doesn't have to act as Mythra's limiter anymore.

As for Harem ending, well that's up to people preference.

How weird that everyone else managed to get around this problem that you apparently find impossible to manage.

We already went through this: No.
It will either be Elma, Fiora, or someone else in the Xeno series.

is newt good? if so, who does she go on? I'm thinking zeke if I want a "tankless"/full damage party build. Or just dump all the tanks on morag?

>someone else in the Xeno series.

I would whale for Billy, Maria, Emerelda, or Id

Noot might be good on Zeke if you want to try some odd builds.

Morag doesn't benefit that well from HP tanks. Zeke isn't a great tank, but stacking all HP tank on him isn't such a bad idea if you ask me.

In fact, I use Kasandra on him so he can be the offensive tank with Zenobia and it somewhat works too.

In general, HP Tank are there for fancy builds for the attackers.

Yeah I’m sure no one at all has had a problem with aggroing every high level mob even close to the lower level targets in garmott fields

Alright, /xgg/, tell me this so-called golden cylinder trick. I've also got some of these premium ones handy.

>didn't really grind cores outside of one 4 hour grind session
>at the end of the game I have 18/20 of the core blades

How bad's the grind going to be for the last 2?

>gold cylinder trick
for what exactly? Making money? reaising development?

The 'gold cylinder trick' is just that you make way more money from salvaging with gold cylinders than you do from buying them, so just buy a fuckton and salvage over and over and use the money to buy more until you have all the money you could ever need. Save your premiums for quests that need them because they're too unreliable to get otherwise.

Basically, you salvage as much as you can with gold cylinders (or silver if you are too poor) then trade all the treasures at the trade NPC, starting from the bottom set.

Dev level increase with cylinder purchase and treasure trade, which makes cylinder cheaper.

So the more you salvage in a given titan, the richer you become, it is simple as that.

So I'm level 65 and found out that the level 130 is weak enough that I can just smash farm him for 20 minutes until he kills me with the death ray. Break rates suck and then there still the problem where the rest of the combo misses or gets resisted but I got a legendary World Tree Drop and a bunch of tachyon and legendary cores.

It's that simple? Well, thanks a ton!

If one of them is Kosmos, you are for a very wild ride with the RNG.

Well obviously idiots like you who haven't worked out that mobs have paths and active hours you need to avoid if they're too strong for you might have difficulty.

>tfw level 83 and still can't kill the 130
I'm either fucking stupid or doing something wrong

Ah, ok that makes sense and I forgot about the final gift part, though I thought it was the real Elysium/an actual place to live now.
But Mythra is better user even if her cooking gives you the runs.

I'm finishing up some quests and blade missions and I have a couple of questions. How are you grinding affinity, and how many stamps does Ursula need to reach level 4? is 1 and 2 the only lessons on this ride?

Why's that? Is her pick-up rate even more rare than the others?

cause yeah one of them is her

Well, I'm about to throw in the towel into trying to kill this thing before power cable because it regenerates health even during chain attack and the AoE attack from Full Burst destroys the cable.

Here's my question about the ending: How come Rex never died once the core crystal was separated from him and Pneuma? If sharing the core crystal is what brought him back, why didn't he die once it wasn't a part of him anymore?

I'm a retard who spent almost 10 minutes trying to kill it without noticing the cable

The actual trick part of the trick is to buy up all the gold cylinders in a town once you max its dev level and then sell them in a town where you haven't maxed it. This returns all the money you spent on cylinders, so you can repeat it indefinitely.

Well, the last gift is definitely Elysium on the surface. It is just a speculation of mine, but since Klaus gave all authority to Pneuma, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually made her able to bend the rules to a certain degree.

That said, the situation was dire enough that there was no way for them to know if the core would reactivate.

Takahashi confirmed in an interview that some rare blades are rarer than others, and the vast majority of people stuck with few blades left usually have Kosmos as their last missing blade.

It took me 40 legendary cores and bazillions of rare and common to get mine.

>Billy's level 4 special has him fire his Driver out of that dumb fucking people-gun for Gwars that Citan made because Citan's a huge dumb asshole
I just want to shoot people.

Because he was healed when they first made the connection. It's not like Zeke's magic pacemaker.

>jumping to thinking someone is an idiot because the game doesn’t explain anything and throws you into a den of lions expecting you to live off their young instead of being useful
It’s typically idiots who jump first to calling others idiots

That's because Pneuma deliberately give enough life source to make Rex's whole again. That's why she said "you are now fine without me!" because Rex body no longer needs the aegis core to remains alive.

That's also why the Aegis core had a dim light because its energ went to Rex.
Note that during that scene, Pneuma doesn't have her core anymore, so she was truly surviving on her reserves before blowing the orbital station with Aion.

Then, they revived because the aegis core reactivated.

From what I remember I thought the Aegis core heals and it would of had enough time to heal Rex. Also remember when Pyra/Mythra were captured and they mentioned she backed up all her power into Rex.

Rewatch the cutscene in chapter 7 wIth Malos.

The Zohar modifier is gateway between the Lower and Upper domain.

The Lower Domain was the human universe while the Upper Domain is the universe in which God consciousness lives.

When not used as part of the system it generates infinite energy and can reshape reality.

But you are an idiot.

So basically, it's a machine from god, not a deus ex machina.
Lifehold bits are shaped like the Zohar too.

How even old is Pyra? She was literally alive for a few days before staring at a tree for 500 years. Is she even mentally older than Rex?

I'm level 81 and I just killed him earlier by accident while smashing him. Didn't even do any blade combos; just slowly wore him down with smashes

>Got KOS-MOS from a common core crystal last night on Zeke
>All I actually want is Finch on Morag

requesting lewds with Mia

Mythra plainly created her with certain parameters, so it isn't like her real age has any relevancy to her mental age.
She is definitely around 20 years old as far as mental age go, and her behaviour in Japanese suggests that she acts as a older sister towards Mythra.

In fact, a lot of JP players consider Pyra as part of the onee san archtype.

>tfw I just want to play as Lora and have Addam and Co. in my party and summon stupidly powerful Blades

Have I encountered a glitch?

I don't seem to have a main quest after unlocking merc missions.

Where's the swimsuit dlc

Remember that Jin gained his edgelord particle control only after he became a flesh eater. So don't expect him to be crazy powerful if we were to use the old torna crew.

>check two options from a quest by save-loading again
>they both go in a circle and say the same shit

What a waste of time. Seem like only heart to heart have different dialogue.

Feels like early 20s

Nobody said anything about that though. But I'd rather deal with that and Shulk's grandiose BS even though he basically wiped the world clean and is better off than he was at the beginning more because of that happening than any experience on his journey. I mean it's sure it's easy to get along and hug with everyone when you killed all the people that opposed you from the face of the world.

Do you have a Main Story Quest in your quest log?
You also have to do a Merc Mission before you can actually progress with the game.

I don't have a main quest in my log.

I've only completed the initial 60 second merc mission so far.

Did anybody else think that the kid at the end of the first Addam flashback looked a lot like Mikhail

Something like that, although it's better to think of it as a portal then a machine.

Xenosaga is basically three games explaining what the Zohar is and how the cosmology of Perfect Works functions.

Out of all the screenshots I have, somehow Mia talking about taking alien probes isn't one of them

I'm not sure which flashback you are referring to, but Mikhail was indeed part of Lora and Addam's party

Did you talk to the guy at the desk again? You need to tell him you finished the mission.

I did. Went back to talk to him again, and my quest marker has reappeared. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

But we don't know if that's what he did.
Nobodies knows what he did.
Alvis just states that he has the power to do that.

Then she can't just seduce Rex.

>Alexa has no good lewds at all
WHY LIVE
