Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (NSW) - July 29, 2022

[AoE]

Needed for other things, sure, but I suspect the combination of "damage heal" along with evade tanking might still be the meat and potatoes. This is all speculation though, I only just got my classes swapped and it looks like the ring slinging class is an evade tank class.

Evade tanking is gangster especially with the class you can find in Chapter 5.

Vague spoiler but Ghondor is one of my favorites. You'll see when you get there.

Anyone can tell me what's up with Soul tree - some abilities show up as unlearned art and are locked - I can't continue some paths because of them and I have no idea what's going on lol

[Bweigelt]

you have to unlock the art on the tree to upgrade it. Those ones that are locked are all the upgrades that only unlock when you unlock the art. The arts themselves are pure orange and don't have the slotted border that the upgrades do. I know for sure Noah's tree has an upgrade in the way of going for art cancelling that requires you to go a different way to get, but it's right at the beginning of the tree just at a dead end.

Ahh, dumb me, that makes sense

Just use the quest guide thingy?

[Demosthenes]

Just use the quest guide thingy?

But that robs you of exploration.

It works for small quests ?

I though it was just for main missions lol

[Gokulo]

I mean yeah, but at the point when you waste 3h looking for the path I'd just turn it on for a bit

Bruh why does this game wait until near the end of the game to tell you how to deal with an enemy's rage status? lol

I'm pretty sure it's in one of tutorials for break combo's early on. I know at least the menu one tells you about it. Not like it matters for much of early game though cause you can't get a Burst art till you get the second healer hero class.

Game is getting better but still far away from xc1 or 2

Some heroes quest could be better tho imo

Spoiler: show

found a kinda of ninja guy that had a fight, then he runs and it pops as an hero quest, he could’ve been aimed as an enemy at first but now I know he will join later

Kinda remove some “twist”

Every game has to have an overused voice line lol.

I'm the girl with the gall! I'm the girl with the gall! I'm the girl with the gall!

That's the one I hear too much

So I just got to the big zone in Chapter 5 and I feel like I won't be moving the story for the next couple of days with all the quests showing up xD

Yeah I'm on the tail end of this and I've been working on it for a while. I do recommend progressing through the story until you acquire a thing because there seems to be a bunch of quests locked behind that point. You'll know as soon as it happens lol. After that you can return to previous colonies and other areas and you'll have quite a bit going on.

I just finished up chapter 4, hoo boy that castle boss was a pain in the ass on hard. I had to max 4 healer classes on 2 characters AND bring a healer hero to out heal that damage and I'm 2 levels above him.

The AI is just painfully dull at times. I can't play the tank to face the boss away because then healing falls behind, and if I'm playing the healer, everyone eats absolutely everything. The latter seems to just work better.

I really hope they push an update at some point for the AI, it really is just too frustrating. It seems impossible to get the characters not to group around the tank and just soak up all that AOE dmg. FFS, at least make them the least bit smart to not seek out the areas where the boss AOEs. I've so far not had to switch off Hard mode but I've definitely had to try some fights 10x+ times, I'm looking at you

The AOE of heals is just so shit ass small they may as well not even be AOEs. That's one of the issues because that's why the AI is making them hug the tanks ass.

I also don't care for VA one way or another but holy hell is Valdi especially annoying or maybe it's his character idk
