Another late game lv 70-75ish question:
Is getting those extra monados useful? Are they stronger? Just curious.

I think they (
) aren't really worth pursuing by themselves, since the stats are only slightly better. If you're grinding the higher levels, however, you can easily obtain the relevant materials (you only need like 1 of each, so it's not too hard).
Might be a larger spoiler, but... (and don't highlight until you've beaten the game)

you get a powerful Monado in New Game+
EDIT
Monado
Armour is from a hidden village quest. I think it's from a girl Machina who sometimes stands outside the village.
Eater is from a Giant's treasure chest, I think. I'm guessing from Agni's Tomb at Makna forest, right near the Valek mountain entrace.

Some of you guys have probably seen it, but there's this level up trick on youtube you can do on the Bionis Leg to get a specific lvl 78 monster to fall of the edge of a cliff and instantly die. It's pretty clever and makes it so much easier to aquire huge amounts of exp,affinity and skill points. I've only done it a few times today because it is pretty easy to mess up. Cool part is that you can do this at any level as long as you have
as party leader with
Of course, you can also jump into the water after the monster has died to get their loot from the treasure chests.
Warning! Video features two of the later playable characters in the game.

I'm at level 63 and switched to using
Melia
her sleep hypnosis and spear break moves. You can also do the same thing with the lvl 78 monster on those brown mushroom structures on top of the water.

Fiora with Dunban and Sharla but still need to increase a bit more affinity between them.

Horray! My game is here, but held hostage at the Post Office until I sign for it, which won't be until Saturday. If anyone is wondering, my copy was shipped Royal Mail, was handed over to the "overseas post office" on 9/14, and then attempted delivery today, so just over a week from the time it left the UK.
And a special fuck you again to Nintendo of America, you truly suck donkey dick.
Can't wait to play on Saturday!

60 hours!
Finally did the fortress.
DO NOT highlight if you aren't near the end of the game.

rescued Fiora finally. Those were some awesome cutscenes. Dickson is starting to smell foul. I met the mechon people, wasn't expecting that. Does the hidden village not have quests? I haven't seen any, tho I just got here.

Should I install GeckoOS, Tiny Load, or StartPatch for my region-free gaming? Please help I couldn't find which one is better for Xenoblade!
SHOTEH FOCK OP said:
I think Gecko is the easiest!
Valek
Just reached the bottom of Valek and Mumkar is kicking my ass, so I retreated for a bit to go level up. I feel bad leaving Fiora there haha.
Pretentious alert!

Really interesting read, but the random Xenoblade hate at the end is hilarious. If you like this game, you are the lowest common denominator and you should hate yourself!!11! I love all the Xeno games, what is wrong with me?

Good god, this game *is* shaping up to be the best jRPG this gen. Sorry Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey, you've been topped.

Don't worry. You're not alone. I've loved all the Xeno- games, too. Even Xenosaga II. (I just loved it least.)Leeness said:Haha Saga 2 is definitely the worst of the bunch but I still enjoyed the story.
Worst fan ever to enjoy all the games
Xenoblade is something special, though. I don't know that I've ever played a game before for 100 hours and was ready to start it right back up again upon completion.
Can someone please let me know if I'm halfway into the game:
MID(?) GAME SPOILER >>>
(surely I'm half way through?)
Need to know if I should ramp up my daily play time since I need to finish it with in the next ten days.
One more question: For how much longer are the timed quests in
available?

So I just got the game. I wasn't going to originally because I am SO not a JRPG person, but I've spent a couple hours with the game...
I hate NoA for not believing in this, and I hate NoE for apparently not making a big push with it. I seriously don't see how this game wouldn't appeal to American gamers. It's got a loot system, it's got crafting, they probably could've called it better, single player WoW and people would've been all over it The Euro VAs are no worse than the average over-used voices we get for Japanese game dubs anyhow.

You still have a long way to go my friend. But if you really need to finish it within the next ten days, just ignore the sidequests that you cannot find. Or, stop sleeping/eating, hahaha.
Damn, was hoping I was a bit further in. I guess I'll increase my daily play time by 31.4%Man God said:
Well, the good thing is this game is one of the best I've ever played so I'll be able to get 4+ hours in on a daily basis without it becoming a chore.Laughing Banana said:

Anyone else disappointed the boss theme changes when you use certain arts? One who gets in our way should have been the permanent boss theme. It's so awesome.

It really is. I haven't played a game like this for a long time. And I'm normally not a quest person, I usually march through the story, but I even want to quest in this game. I'm probably not doing as much as some people here, but I find myself doing them quite a bit, or putting in a couple hour session of just quests.
Though the story is picking up a lot now and I'm anxious haha.

I enjoyed the notion that Takahashi was forced to make Xenoblade. The poor man if such a thing is true!
Also, damn him for getting older and for his tastes changing!

No question, no contest. Xenoblade's in a category all of it's own.

Yo. Endgame spoiler shizz.
Such an incredible moment. Jaw was floor bound the whole way through, though it just kind of stayed that way since I turned the game on. Such an incredible experience.
If you mean when you change the future, I disagree.lucablight said:
Also, the image in your video contains a huge party member spoiler. If I hadn't been spoiled on that several times already, I'd be mad. Here's a better link.

Right, a few thoughts:
spoilers!
spoilers!
the final plot twist being that the entire world was an experiement by scientists on earth (those two being meyneth and claus/zanza) actually makes sense...everything in the world (machina/telethia/mechon/ether) seems like seperate pieces of a computer program designed to run on an endless cycle.
And Alvis being the A.I of the entire experiment makes sense. Anyway. 60 hours, finished.
