Melia's talent art is essentially a status effect. Though she does have arts that can only be activated when the talent gauge is full.
I've been messing around with various things in Dolphin.
Original:
Altered:
Switched the Monado and logo textures for high-res ones, and replaced the font. I'm not too keen on how it looks here, but it definitely looks better in-game than the original font (at 1080p, that is).
Also got some ending screenshots in Dolphin; if anyone wants me to put them up, I will.

NTSC HDTV, component cables connected to my receiver which is connected to my TV via HDMI. Playing directly from disk. The audio seems to be fine once for every 3 or 4 startups.
I startup to BootMii, select Homebrew Channel, select Gecko (the latest version,) and then 'start disc' or whatever the option is called.
Graphics -> Advanced -> Dump Textures to dump them to User/Dump/Texture/SX4P01. Then, edit, and place in User/Load/Texture/SX4P01. You have to enable Load Custom Textures too.

Yeah, you should be able to get to 89/90 easily in
since there are some higher level enemies in there.
And I can vouch for Deinos Sauros once you hit 93, those give fantastic experience and you can get to 99 no problem off those. And they drop great crystals you'll want for the 100+ enemies.
Alcamoth, particularly in the palace

Try Satorl Marsh (night).
Yeah, Satorl isn't too bad for around 78. Most of the high-level stuff there is low 80s.
The key to fighting high-leveled stuff is being able to actually hit them. Makes Melia useful with Summon Wind active.
With Riki, you can kill stuff much higher though an act of attrition. (So long as his debuffs hit, they're doing constant damage; the enemy HAS to die sometime.)

Interesting.
FWIW, I have BootMii launching the Wii system menu (e.g, normal bootup), and then select the homebrew channel the same way I would go to the Wii Shop or a Virtual Console game (for example). You could give that way a try and see if it gives you a better success rate.

I feel like I didn't experiment enough with my team the three times I went through the game. Late game character/story spoilers follow:
I'd say I played as Shulk about 90% of the time, if not more. I tried everyone else at least a few times but I always found myself missing some of Shulk's abilities. As the main character he's so much more adaptable than everyone else and obviously that's meant to be the case seeing as he's the one with the Monado.
On my first play I played as Shulk with naked Dunban as tank and Sharla healing. On my New Game+ I played as Shulk with Reyn as tank for about half of it, armoured Dunban as tank for the other half while switching my third character to whoever I felt like at the time. I absolutely love Reyn's tanking compared to Dunban's, being able to round up four or five groups of level-appropriate enemies and have him hold aggro while Fiora and Shulk go to work on them was great.
For the level 100+ enemies I used Shulk, armoured Dunban and Fiora, all appropriately armoured and gemmed and every fight was a massacre. Love it.

Wait.. You never mained Melia? You're missing out. Having access to her abilities was a blast (in more ways than one).
Also, welcome to GAF! Loving the screen name.

Beat the game just before! Holy fucking shit was this game good. So many "wtf" and "omg" moments in the story and throughout. Absolutely fucking loved it!
The most difficult boss for me was
, what a total pain in the ass.
Quick question (for those that have completed):
FUCK. So absolutely amazing.

Dickson
Quick question (for those that have completed):
I read somewhere that you can obtain Meynith's monado for Fiora, how do you go about getting it? And what other goodies can I obtain that people usually miss etc. Cheers. I also don't understand what role Alvis actually played - awesome character tho. I really wanted to fight him tho.

Thanks for the welcome, it's nice to finally be posting here after years of reading
Nope, I've not spent more than about half hour playing as Melia. I know she can put out some insane damage if you don't leave her to the AI to control, I just never allowed myself to get the hang of her abilities.
It really is a testament to this game that I can finish it three times, find every unlockable, scour every corner of every area, beat every monster, get multiples of every useful gem, get the best weapons and armour, finish every collection and max out every affinity and STILL feel like there are parts of the game I haven't even scratched the surface of.
The next time my significant other is away from home I'm planning to start a fourth run from scratch with

Melia as main, Riki as tank (thinking I can get an excellent spike damage aggro build out of him) and Sharla mainly as ranged DPS/a bit of healing

1)
I've never heard anything like that, and it doesn't really make sense that you would be able to get it. It doesn't "exist" until Meyneth gets it out to fight Zanza, and Zanza takes it as soon as the battle is over. So there really isn't an opportunity to get it.
2) Huge spoiler warning, do NOT read this unless you've beaten the game: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=32000515&postcount=14948

Thanks for the replies, that link help explain a lot to me. Damn, this game just seems more awesome everytime I read about it.
Also, I just did a google search, Meyneth's Monado can only be obtained by using codes, it's Fiora's strongest weapon and comes with an 'Unbeatable IV' gem.
I'm trying to raise affinity among everyone right now so I'm varying teams. My affinity chart between party is really funny. I basically just used Dunban during the game so everyone loves him but they don't like each other
Also, I love colony 6 music when it gets to lvl 5. So upbeat and happy!
Alcamoth end game spoilers question:

Alcamoth end game spoilers question:
Do I get to see Alcamoth somewhat restored or no? at least with the landmarks available? I've done some quests from Frontier Village called restoring the capital but I don't see more quests in that line it seems. I guess it stays like that with the telethia but I'm just curious.

How to I go back to previous areas? I wanna go back to the refugee colony and buy some manuals for Shulk.
The merchant near where I am (the marsh) only has the ones for

Ouch, you got all the way to the Marsh without using quick travel? Go to the menu and select the map option - it should be the one all the way on the left - then select an area and a landmark to travel to. You can also use the analog stick to go around the map for each area and select a landmark.
Leftmost option in the menu lets you fast travel to any area you've visited.

Ha, I should go and look at my chart. Everybody hates Rikki!
Yessss I finally finished this game after ~105 hours and can now go back through the thread and read everyone's spoilers!! Seriously though I'm so glad I somehow managed to stay current with this thread without accidentally spoiling the ending because it was badass.
Also Wichu that avatar is so cool.
Edit: Might I also mention how annoying it is that there are only three save slots for this game? Are all Wii games like this? I want to get my b/f playing this but I hate to give up any of my save files!
Oh well, having a hard time convincing the b/f that he needs to play this game at all. Dealbreaker? Maybe...
I had a go at playing everyone but mained Shulk, along with 7th and Riki for the last part of the game. I started out hating Riki but damn is he awesome by the end. During the fight against the final boss's third form Riki had to revive me, his little "Riki is lonely without you" line really warmed my heart. <3

Ahhh I'm killing Deinos Sauros at level 89 but taking more than 5 minutes. I think it would be better to go to Tephra Cave but this is so rewarding lolol.
btw, I thought this would give me that Achievement that says "Ace a battle you had no chance in" but it didn't ;( I guess the lvl120 will... If i ever take it down.
I also killed the lvl96 unique for Riki's skill tree... Good to see that the level difference doesn't really matter anymore, if you have sufficient agility Dunban ftw.

Dunban ftw.Punch him in the fucking dick and withhold sex until he plays the game.
He'll thank you later.
Considering it!

Ever since a tragic Dragon Quest-related incident as a kid, I'm obsessive about that stuff. On some level I kind of appreciate that Pokémon has three separate prompts before you're allowed to change a move. I'm also always confused when it isn't clear which is "Yes" and which is "No". Is it the one that's lit up, or is it the darkened one?
