But it doesn't matter much because I'll still be able to max all trust and affinity by playing the game, right?

Is Theory worth all the bullshit necessary to unlock her third affinity level?

Just forcefeed your blades if they need affinity.

xth for can't get out of gacha hell

Am I autistic for wanting to start the whole game over again just because of this?

Yes

Does the blade with orb master have to be the one doing the final special of the blade combo?
Can it be one of any of the steps?

Yeah, that's 14 meats. It's fucking nothing when you'll be meating over 4,000 trust and god help you if you go for S+

Why even? You have everything you need to win. Just keep pulling commons for field checks, sending them on mercs so they work, and you'll eventually get everybody

youtube exists

400 points is like three minutes of shoving sausage down Morag's throat to entertain her Blades.

So what is the right answer here? Because both choices give you winning dialogue.

Anyone doing the Vandham lv99 meme? Cus I'll seriously start over and do that and the heart to heart thing. Fuck 300hr of progress.

Morag agrees to get in if you pick the second option.

Just make a new profile or whatever?

When you put an item in the pouch, are you eating it or are your blades eating it?
Or are you both eating it?

You're all eating it

human centipede

I looked up the pastebin but I haven't seen anything about it.
Why is the Male Loincloth not on it?
On Rex and Tora, where both of them have all female blades, shouldn't it be good to always have a 55% damage boost?
Or is it because the 55% boost is only for the driver while other damage boost work on both driver and blade, making it worthless?

Will Takahashi ever tie the Xenogames together? It seems all that links them together is the Zohar, and that the Xenoblade games take place somewhere at the end of the timeline.

Xenosaga HD remake when? We live in the times of HD remasters, time to step up Namco. Kos-mos is clearly still popular after all these years. Fuck I would love an HD remaster, its depressing that we may never get one.

What are all these complaints about Blade series not being as "serious" as Saga or Gears?

Is Mythra's ear detachable?

why mythra has huge monkey ears

>Heal while moving
>Dodge while moving
>But moving is useless
Really bungles the bum

The Blade series is as "serious" as the others, but it lacks the "deep" philosophical babble the others had. Xenosaga was kind of a cluster fuck story, but I did enjoy it.

"Deep" philosophical babble? As in, Evil Space Pope trope and "muh symbolism" (as if we can't rip Evangelion enough)?

>one cup of Generosity is being shared between everyone and their blades

For those who have finished the game during a cutscene Klaus says something along of the lines of "maybe i will see you soon Galea". Whos Galea? Did i miss something?

...

She was the scientist lady who tried to stop him, Meyneth in the first game.

Ok thanks i had a feeling but i wasnt sure ive never played the first game. How do these link up exactly?

Look at their trust

Play the game.

so what are the chances of the next xenogame not having pointlessly vague directionless collection-based sidequests?

Nah. Ill just look it up.

Any other things change on uruya in the falling leaves weather beyond soothesayer gerald?

Alternatives? I mean you got get the thing, kill the thing, deliver thing to place, escort the thing, steal thing, skill activity, talk to thing, go to place/explore place, do minigame, pick between person/thing and varying combinations of those.

...

So where does XB2 rank among your favorite jrpg?

No I mean when the game tells you to collect something it gives you general idea of where to fucking go, not just "go collect this thing that might randomly drop somewhere in this huge area"

So will this confirm if her tits are water or not?

If it doesn't include a bath scene with all the blade girls and drivers where she jumps into the bath. It's a total bust.

Ah. Yeah, I'd like them to have more IC ways to get hints without as much mindlessly walk towards the compass. It'd also be good for a job board or whatever to signal that there's new stuff in roughly x region so you know to explore for it to replace the scanning of the travel map or having to explore the whole place senselessly every minor progression

Xenoblade X was the absolute worst with this. Go collect some shit in Obliva, and we aren't going to tell you where so you better explore the entire continent. I just learned to use the google doc for stuff like that.

Pyra's gonna kill a cat.

...

Hey google doc user, can you do something about the drops page? Some joke spread the width out to a bazillion pages and it's locked. It's the sub-doc from the main info screen. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FyYYaSARbKdzGAWE1WEGORYjvXMamAYPGeXwzNai9kM/edit#gid=0

Can you do the Pyra/Nia combo with Mythra?

What 3 element combination can get you the most orbs?

N-no

Figure it out then tell me I'm a dumb brainlet

I just got to chapter 8, after unlocking Pneuma

how do I properly use Pneuma?
It says it takes the whole parry gauge, but also lasts a limited time so is there really any point in doing it instead of a chain attack

She makes it extremely easier to fullburst

>It says it takes the whole parry gauge, but also lasts a limited time so is there really any point in doing it instead of a chain attack

Does it? I think it only takes one bar? I usually just Activate Pneuma to finish off a branch of a blade combo, then go into a chain attack and blow the fuck out of the enemy. This method is so damn broken it feels like cheating. Pneuma is probably one of the most broken tools handed to a player in videogame history.

Pneuma is any element at once. You can use her as a replacement for any combo and she does a shitload of damage.
Also, because she's elementless, her attacks don't do 2 damage to orbs. Instead, they do one damage to EVERY single orb during a combo.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Rex can die while Pneuma is out.
She is worth using, and Pneuma is the reason why Rex is so broken.

What's the relation with the flashes during the core summoning and after you get a blade?

From what I could tell, the blade is always the one of the silhouette shown in the third flash, if you can even see it.

Also what's a good way to grind more rare cores, crabs aren't working anymore now that I'm like level 55

Bullshit, bullshit, what you pull
Smash combo harder with gold chips and placebo? You can also just level up and start smash farming the vampire bride. I think there was more info in the pastebin

I want to violently tug on her ponytail.

Endgame spoilers
Is the planet Klaus terraforms GUARANTEED to be our Earth? Or could it be an entirely separate planet, and still have some connection with XCX? Could Mira be another universe's interpretation of what Klaus' experiment with the Conduit did to his planet?

So what are all the salvager codes?

They canonically have English,
Greek and the Latin bible. It could be Earth,
it could be Mira far into the future, it could be any other planet that was settled by humans.

...

Is there a chip to give the 50 luck boost to a katana blade?
I got a 4 stars with a 16% luck mod. and I wanted to buff it further.

>Let people hoard bonus xp
>Give them a zillion side quests
>Drop pentagon chips, overclock bangles, and 30% dex gauntlets if you're level 30 and know what a chain attack is
Gormotti is insane

>put Nopon Coral Chess Set into bag
>everyone and their blade starts taking pieces and eating them
what the fuck guys

So is there are way to increase my odds of getting the top-end salvage items?
I feel like i'm not making as much as I should be because I just can't pull the last item - I've got 20+ of all the other materials but just can't pull the 'great kingdom banner' any tips or is it pure RNG?

non?? 3 element will eventually only still give you 3 elements. cause last element.

But the easiest way to be 1 man Orb generator 4 Elements is

Rex with Overclock Bangle
Mythra Light
Pyra Fire
Thunder
Earth / Wind

...

>Thunder
Pandoria?
>Earth / Wind
Wulfric or Zenobia?

Not sure what to take

...

if you want to maximize damage during chain Combos

Thunder Herald

Wind/ Earth is ok.

if only care to put in the orbs. just any blade with that element will do, bonus Orb any Element 5th Orb with Pneuma

>Xenoblade 2 plot is about a more advanced pursuit of the powers of Turritopsis dohrnii.


What did they mean by this?

What is he thinking?

I'm still struggling to grasp that these two are voiced by the same VA. She did a bang up job for being a somewhat literal who in the seiyuu industry.

So when is next update?

End of january

How good is a max affinity Sheba?
And are there any ways to farm crystals besides Ardain crabs?

What quality of core crystal?

do i need to unlock every perk on the affinity tree to get S rank trust or can I just keep spamming pouches?

Yes
Trust uncaps are A and S1-S+
Full affinity chart is S

Common or rare. I'm at around 65 right now, not sure if I can farm legendaries, however I have gotten a handful from random uniques.

>How good is a max affinity Sheba?
Sheba on her own is good but not broken. Harem Build Sheba is a fucking DPS machine
Rex: World Tree Drop + Loin Cloth
Sheba > Hunter or Shoulder To Shoulder Aux Chip + Critical Aux chip
Morag > Brig > Theory > Newt
Nia (use Rex to remove Byakko) and just make her a second tank/ or a healer (all girl)


Unlock Perk, unlocking all 5 tiers only gives you Rank A

>Just pulled dagas on Rex
Blade quests are after unlocking rank S right?

Smash spam uniques. Do the usual salvage or field krabble farming anyway. No idea if you can smash the vampire bride a couple times then scoot off with the cores
Bonus if you run a 100% item drop common and switch to him before it dies.

>Blade quests are after unlocking rank S right?
no, depending on the blade some quest triggers do are capped after certain Tier. other dont Praxis to Theory quest needs like Tier 3, Electra, all you need is to visit Toright

OST fucking when?

after Hikari fugure

>We may never get a proper good looking Homura figure

After DLC. Do you want to miss out on all those DLC exclusive tracks?

>Game crashed and burned hard
>This fucking UI what the fuck
Literally never. Mono's full of mad men

...

>Game crashed and burned hard
I have absolutely no idea why you'd try to lie about something like this, other than you want to feel like you like something that no one else does.

>Reading the gamecrate review
>He complains the driver combo blade combo fusion combo, chain attack flowchart is too much to deal with
>Complains that fights against enemies 5 lvls lower take several minutes to finish and he can't fight higher level monsters
Heh

>Shulk, I want you to take me to Magic Land. Put your hand on my dick now.

Different user, but you're trying to tell him that Pneuma is technically an orb one-shot wild card, was it? If so, then if she's used like a normal Blade, she might not have an element,
but compensates by being able to replace any element during Blade Combos, wasn't it?

She can't one shot orbs, but her attacks during party combos do one damage to every single orb on the field.
As expected, she's invaluable for doing full bursts. She doesn't need to compensate for anything since she is literally every element at once.

no
when you are building orbs, the game let you choose the elemtn of the Special, so you can make your own path and make whatever orb you like (normally at best you can make 2 before her time runs out)
when you are in a Chain Attack, you can only use Pneuma from Rex, but she does 1 Hit to all Orbs simultaneously. so if you have Fire/ Water/ Thunder orb out
Rex > Pneuma. 1 Hit all
Morag > Bridhid, 2 Hit to Water orb, Elemental Burst

As long as you break 1 orb in the 1st round. its impossible to fail the rest of the orbs

Yup, wild card. Hope that they'll add Pneuma in either NG+ next year as a normal Special Blade unlockable post-Chapter 7...
