Xenoblade Chronicles X

[Tyrath]

The game will apparently be more story focused than X was

Yes plz

It doesn't say direct sequel though. Just sequel and that game save might affect it.

[Serra]

Not like the game has a bunch of loose endings or anything like that..

[Tyrath]

I'm still on ch10 so i don't know! I should get back to it soon. I keep taking random weeks off from the game and then a week really addicted again.

[Scythiroth]

I took a break from it due to the augment farming. >.> I did at least finish the game though!

[NynJa]

I hope they have future plans for the game. I spent 2 hrs grinding sand wings and lepyx stones for some augs and i found myself asking "why", its all offline stuff and i cant epeen anywhere

[Kachiko]

Well, there are leaderboards for highest damage hit, and trial time completions, but yes, it is mostly off-line.

[NynJa]

Im at work, but im pretty sure the top time for the goetia fight is like 1.3 seconds. I dont even think i can get in range that fast to engage.

Ok at Chapter 12, what level should I be before taking it on?

Also, if you wipe do you effectively lose your skelle's unless you reload your game?

50+, and yes you lose them.

[NynJa]

You get booted out of your skel at one point of ch12, so make sure your melee gear is up to date too.

More expensive than I was expecting..

[Kaslo]

50+, and yes you lose them.

Should I try to farm for the expensive lvl 50 skels too?

Note: I'm level 48 right now.

I just finished Chapter 12 myself. There is a few surprises thrown your way for the last few fights that, had I known, would have saved a lot of aggravation. I'll spoiler them just in case.

Spoiler: show

Fight 1: (2 Parts) Not terribly difficult. I actually learned to do this fight at least partially outside the skells just to save some energy for later on. My Cross runs a pretty potent Thermal build from Samurai Gunner so damage on the target wasn't too huge a problem. It will periodically send out support orbs at specific HP phases (start and ~50%) that can wreck you if not taken care of quick enough. Around 30% it has an invincibility shield granted to it (and some mild HP regen) from the orb in the center of the arena. You only have to kill the center orb during this phase to stop the shield, but the orbs surrounding it take only 1 damage and are taken out quickly with gunfire. The skells help to clear the orbs during those phases but overall are not entirely necessary with good skill/art leveling.

Fight 2: This is what really got my blood boiling. You face an average opponent, but theres 10 of them. Yes. Ten. Right after a pretty long boss fight. This is why I wanted to save my skells, simply take flight and command everyone into the skells and snipe them all from the air. If you really want to take them out on the ground without skells, AoE skills are your best bet. Be warned though, I set up my Lin to be pretty tanky as far as tanks go and she still gets ripped to shreds with 10 things beating on her.

Fight 3: If you're quick enough, you can get off one G-Buster or Scythe hit before your skells are drained of all fuel. So this fight will be done entirely without mechs. It isn't entirely difficult from what I recall, but I was also still fuming from the fight right before. Nothing stood out about it, aside from who it was you were fighting. Target and break limbs if you want, but you can just zerg it down.

My winning run was at 55 after leveling a bit. I originally went in at 48 and got wrecked because you are unable to replenish HP between rounds aside from dying. I was fine with lvl 30 Skells, as I ended up spending my ~6 mil on gearing everyone up for weapons/armor at 55. Quick leveling trick: Theres 3 alligators at the nest at the very top of Noctilum around lvl 60. They go down hella quick to skells, and you can get a level every 2-3 minutes killing all 3 then warp back to that mining point to hit 55 easy.

Ending:

Spoiler: show

Holy shit Kos-Mos. I know it isn't 'really' Shion's Kos-Mos, but god damn I was so happy they threw the allusion in right down to her capsule that was kept hidden. I hope whatever sequel they aim to do after this is something that can at least loosely tie Gears, Saga and Blade into a somewhat cohesive timeline even if it falls under a "different universes" schtick. I really feel like this ties into the ending of Saga 3 with humans "finding" the Kos-Mos that was abandoned in space at the end of 3 and then being given whatever information she had stored away to build the arks. Also, the use of the term "failsafe" - I'm wondering if the current segment of humanity are the children of chaos that were created after he tripped the last failsafe.

Also, if there were multiple arks then it is possible Abel's Ark landed on another planet (which was also referred to) and that Gears and Blade take place along the same timeline just on different planets.

Spoiler: show

The thing that I struggled with during the final fight was the adds that randomly spawned.

[Kaslo]

And finished! I leveled to 55 then pretty much overran the last fights.

[Kaslo]

Other than Celica and L, what other Xeno's are playable characters?

[Kachiko]

Those are the only Xenos you can play as, besides a certain someone else you probably know about by now.

This comment made me realize i really should go back and finish this game. Because I have no idea who you mean xD

Get to D CHOPPA, Mon!

It's worth it, even if, in the end, nothing makes any sense. End game is really where it's at, doing all of the Affinity missions and killing some big monsters. I never actually got that part done though, as other games started to net my interest, and farming those damn tickets, for gear, kinda burned me out.
