I hope they explain how he got that unless they did and I missed it.

It's an offhand comment to the effect of we made a replica for you using uber Machina tech.

Functionally they're the same. It has the same skills, though I think you get a Monado skill when you get the replica. You can get some quests to get other replica Monados which specialize in different stats like a crit Monado or a blocking Monado.

Just finished the (level 25ish, 15 hours in spoilers)
Ether Mines. Lots of story at the end there, wow.
I also had my first rage-quit boss there.
(boss spoiler)
That first fight with Xord where you need to Chain break and topple him. I probably did it about fifteen times and Sharla would die, and then all my tension would drop and just aagrgrgsfvvgvrg. It made me so mad, haha. I even went and leveled a couple of times, made some gems, got some new armour. It did nothing, it was still hard as shit.
I beat him in the end, though, got a good thing going and finally, finally toppled him and took him down. Felt good man.

Started this game a while back, just now taking the time to really get into it. Love pretty much everything about this game so far.
I'm level 20ish, just getting to
. I thought I'd be over-leveled since I did a bit of grinding but no, everywhere I go I see at least a few enemies that are 5-10, sometimes 20+ levels higher than me, most are around my level.
+ Combat system is best in class. Fast and strategic at the same time, most battles are over in less than a minute, tougher ones are over in 2-3 so far.
+ Open world is awesome, haven't felt so free in a JRPG since DQ8, which I spent over 80 hours playing, this game seems like I might spend more.
+ PAL Voice Acting is hilariously great.
+ Music is amazing.
Back to the game!

I think so far my favorite part is how predictable the story is, in retrospect. Like even right at the start it gives you clues like
- The monado can't cut living things
- the monado can't cut faced mechon
and the whole time you don't consider the fact that there might be living things (not exactly people but they're alive) inside the faced mechon. Like you toyed with the thought, and went "haha wouldn't it be funny if..." only to find out you were right.

About 6 hours in.
God damn.
Can't wait to see what's next. Best overworld theme ever? Maybe.
God damn.
The scene in which Fiora dies genuinely grabbed me, and I'm not usually someone to say that it regards to video game stories or cinematics. We didn't get much of Fiora but in the time she was there, she was a pretty endearing and cute character. I was genuinely surprised - and slightly horrified - to see her stabbed to death.

That one enemy I assume you're talking about is much stronger than the other enemies in the area. He's manageable, but certainly has the strength of a unique.CoolS said:
Got to Mechonis Field, level 55, 40 hours in! Oh yeeeah!

The plot twist with Mumkhar being Metal Face and Fiora being alive/Face Nemesis was pretty good. I was absolutely amazed I didn't guess it before - the game explained quite clearly in an early cutscene that the monado cannot harm people. Then straight after, the faced mechon show up - and the monado does nothing to them. I should have guessed there were people inside!
I'm guessing Xord will turn up again...I want to know who he really was.

Holy crap Fiora is a BEAST! I'm currently rocking an all girls team playing as Melia and Fiora is rocking the close combat part. Damn! On the other hand, some of the monsters in Sword Valley are STILL hard to beat even after being to Hidden Machina Village and backtracking to complete the map. Maybe I should use Shulk for the most difficult ones. On my way to fight Egil soon.

Quite regular progression. The game continues to amaze me. The lack of clipping and draw distance limits for the environments are pushed to some extreme in the last part of the game. There are always some moments like "I was there in that tiny point in the distance some hours ago" that could not be feeled with Colony 9 and after, where the mountains seemed a good way to cheat the perpective.

I've been tied down with work lately, so GAF is pretty much the only game I've played in the last week or so since I beat Limbo.
It's so nice to get into a JRPG after a big break from them. It doesn't hurt that Xenoblade seems to take almost everything good about the genre and cram it into one game.

Questions about a quest later in the game. I'm level 49.
In Alcamoth, I'm trying to trigger the quest given by Arielle, but I can't get it to. She mention's her daughter's friend...I spoke to both her and the daughter, but is there another link in the chain I need to talk to first? The area is so big and everyone looks the same...

If I'm recaling the right NPC and quest here; have you been to (location spoiler)bbsting120 said:
Valak Mountain yet. The quest needs an item from there so isn't given to you until you've been there. Adventurers in Peril is also triggered by reaching that location (you have to done the preparing for adventure series first). Its quite funny as its like "they're near x" and I'm like "oh well time to find x I guess"

About a boss
Xord. Are you suppose to just hold out? Don't think I can win this, I can get like 1/4 of his HP off.
