Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)

Yes I did, still doesn't affect my feeling throughout it. I particularly got hit hard when they are approaching the new continent with Pyra's dead core crystal and Rex says "We finally made it." referencing finally fulfilling his promise to take her to Elysium, even if she is dead. Then when Nia pushed Rex to go see Pyra and Mythra.

Nia, Melia same fight

I was enjoying the story up until it reached the World Tree, and then it just went to shit as they try to wrap things up. CS breakup is really annoying when I watch one, then walk 20s to the next one, and aside from showing that Amalthus hates humans, doesn't give any explanation so far as to why he does what he does in the World Tree. I really hate flashbacks as a story mechanism as it generally turns out to be bad story-telling, which is happening here. I think I'm just at the architect though, so maybe he'll explain things proper.

Anyway to track Ursula level 4?

I keep spamming the 3 Marc missions, Vocal, Looks and the soul 2 and I still don't get offered anything new

[Tyrath]

You will eventually. Just spam.

You need to cap almost all stamps before you finish her shit.

You need 9 stamps in each category, there are under key items.

If you talk to her manager, while she's equipped to a driver in the PT, he'll tell you your level and # of fans. Make sure you do the concerts when they pop up as they give the most points; they are also tricky to complete later on, requiring specific rare blades to be pulled to complete them.

*edit*

So..ya, a few questions:

Spoiler: show

Why was Amalthus trying to stop Malos if his goal of world destruction was the same? It's like they needed a plot device to redeem Jin, but the way they did it just doesn't make sense.

1. The whispered lines really piss me off; why is that even a thing if never explained?
2. How the hell did Pyra and Mythra re-appear at the end if the Aegis power is gone? Best I can come up with is that they are just normal blades that resonated with Rex, but it's the first occurrence of two blades from one core, and being two parts of the whole Aegis, who's power is now gone, shouldn't even exist anymore.
3. Architect's last 'Gift' - any ideas what this is? Maybe it has something to do with #3, but I think it's just making Elysium down below, for everyone on Alrest to live on.
4. Regarding Nia, I really don't get her story.....if she was human to begin with, how is she now a Blade? If she was a Blade to begin with, who did she original resonate with and what is this about her 'growing up' then? We know she 'ate' her sister, and became a "Flesh Eater" but it really seams they skipped an important detail somewhere in her life.

It's been a while, so I'm probably wrong. I just assumed 2 was the same reason she was able to regain her memory despite Malos taking them, when Rex had the same memories stored in his half. I think it was either her or Malos who also said they can exist after being killed for a brief period of time as long as their core is intact, like when Nia gave him full blown cancer. 3 is correct. 4 I was kinda confused about, I thought the father was looking for a cure for his daughter, found Nia as a healer blade, then made her eat his daughter in order to transfer some of her appearance to her once it was determined she was terminal.

For 2, somepeople were saying that when Klaus said this is my gift to you my children, is giving a 2nd life to pyra/mythra
Others says that they lost the Pneuma (aegis power) and became normal rare blade
or might be known in the "new story DLC"

[Kachiko]

Farmed the Uryaya 65NM to outfit my main blades with gold chips and get a small power boost too; got almost 100 rare crystals and about 40 legendary crystals in the process. Finished up the L99 Ardun NM quest, and promptly got one-shot by normal attacks when I'm L74. Looks like I'll need to use all of that stored EXP and get some levels, then try again, to finish off my rare blade collection and get some of the better chips.

[Tyrath]

Whats the level 99 ardun NM quest?

[Kachiko]

Whats the level 99 ardun NM quest?

Don't kill the baby in the Torigath Farm (outside the base), feed him, by talking to the NPC with the trophy over his head, until he turns into the 99NM. If you killed it, before it becomes an NM, you're out of luck for the rest of the game, but if you wait, it's like any other NM and you can kill it repeatedly.

[Tyrath]

Oh ya that thing. RIP lvl 1 baby

for your question about Nia. I took it as she was a blade originally who belonged to the dad, and the dad was so distraught over losing his daughter that her merged his daughter with Nia (blade) and it was a successful merger. In the process Nia took the form of the daughter as her human form and retained the memories of the girl so she also considers her his daughter.

Spoiler: show

- I don't believe it's explicitly stated that two blades couldn't come from the same core. During the story they often bring two blades together and call them brother and sister, but this is not nearly the same as blade twins or actual sisters.
- It's two cores just 'fused'. One portion of the core from rex's chest(a part invokes pyra or mythra) and the outer portion for the other. This would technically prevent Pnuema as well since it's no longer 'one'.
- It could also may not be a literal interpretation that both pyra and mythra exist simultaneously just a hand wavy method of saying "hey, we both still exist"

Merc mission doesn<t give enough trust points

So many level 5 affinity to unlock due ot that

[Kachiko]

They don't give a lot to rare blades, but common ones seem to do well. I still think the fastest way, rare or common, is to feed them till max trust then send them on missions to just get skills.

[Tyrath]

Yup feeding then merc missions is what I do for all my rare blades. Did the common ones as tagalongs during the merc missions.

[Scythiroth]

Just know that there are a few spots on affinity charts that merc missions can never unlock though. Off the type of my head, they were "do whatever amount of damage in one hit", the named/unique monster kills (the ones that typically just require one enemy), and the "complete # merc mission" ones will still take quite a few merc missions to complete. There may be something else I'm forgetting, but it's been a while since I last played and quite tired at the moment.

[Tyrath]

the named/unique monster kills (the ones that typically just require one enemy),

I was able to get some of these on Zenobia, but only some and only on her.
