Xenoblade Chronicles

There's a few Mechon named after knights of the round table, but otherwise most Unique Mechon- and a lot of non-Mechon from Valak onward -are named after Goetic demons.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Just saw Chugga's newest video. I really wish the Shoulder was accessible. That area looks awesome.

What I mean is that there are two types of mechon uniques. Some of them are malfunctioning by being in areas they aren't supposed to be and those seem to have the demon names. The ones named after the knights are behaving "properly", by waiting in shutdown mode, patrolling Sword Valley, etc.

I prefer ZVAARI's version.

Okay, yeah, that one is by far the better version.

It broke down in some places but I'm surprised by how well that worked.

That one was brilliant.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

When I first heard You Will Know Our Names, I thought it was a major boss or perhaps even a standard boss theme, with the title being a declaration from Shulk and co.

Now I know it's the Unique Monsters addressing the player.

And geez, Barkley Shut Up And Jam Gaiden just will not die, will it?

I sure said that!

So I got Xenoblade Chronicles. even got a hard copy.

Blue shinies are my bane, Caused me to do some dumb stuff like jump off of colony 9 to go swimming. I am not a smart person.

From spoilers I've gotten so far Gosh the guy with the giant claws for weapons can't possibly be relevant later in the game, and he's totally not going to be that boss everyone talks about. Giant claws. not relevant at all *cough*

Items seem a bit weird to me, I mean there's gems which are craftable, but weapons and armor are limited to drops and trades? Which begs the question whether it's reasonable to sell anything at all or just horde it for a good trade?

Also Fiora is not only annoying, but she has a absolute pitiful amount of HP. according to the game, this is to oppose the fact that she does much more damage.

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

Gems you get to craft out of Ether Crystals, which are dropped by enemies or harvested from mining spots. Weapons and Armor are purchased from shops or dropped by enemies. You can sell extras, and you can sell stuff that gets outclassed, though I should note that you can never get the starting weapons/armor ever again, so hang on to it if you're nostalgic.

As for other enemy drops, most of it exists to be sold but there's also a lot of 20 Bear Asses-esque quests, so it's worth hanging onto some of the rarer stuff.

After a certain point, you'll be informed if a quest needs a given sort of Bear Ass ahead of time, so don't sweat it too much.

... And oh, geez. I made a huge mistake by giving Melia a pair of Ruby Glasses- I'm not sure I'll ever be able to take them off of her.

I sure said that!

Yeah, Ruby glasses do amazing things for stats.

Not just that- They suit her so well!

... And wow, I feel dumb. It's taken me a bit to realize that those tiny headwings are not hair decorations, they're genuine tiny headwings. That hat must've been uncomfortable!

More like a certain film starring Michael Jordan and the cast from Looney Tunes will never die. (Nor will its last-updated-in-1998 website.)

Do I still need to patch the game, or do the crystal clusters in Xenoblade 3D not glow while they still have crystals to harvest? I understand that you've gone from a CD to a cartridge, and corners have to be cut somewhere, but still...

Also, 6x. Fiora is the only character in the game that will automatically double-attack. All other characters need to install a bunch of crystals or learn/link specific character skills to get a good chance of doing so, but she does it automatically. THAT'S why she's so easy to kill.

Unless Mumkhar does as well, but he doesn't show up long enough for me to check.

If everyone were normal, the world would be a dull place. Like reality television.

Not really, though. 3DS cards go up to eight gigs, so I'm thinking it's a patch issue- I definitely have noticed ether deposits ceasing to glow when they've been tapped out.

I sure said that!

That's my problem. They look tapped out for me, whether they've got crystals or not.

If everyone were normal, the world would be a dull place. Like reality television.

I, too, have noticed ether crystal deposits looking like they're tapped-out despite having fully-functional "mine here" icons being posted right next to them.

And that they instantly change from "on" to "off" in the instances where that's working correctly. (Barring one counterexample in Eryth Sea, where you had to rescue the High Entia technician who got ambushed by the large ether crystal deposit behind the lighthouse.)

Also ran into my first example of that audio glitch some have mentioned, where the game stops playing music and most voice clips for whatever reason. Was a rather surreal experience, although nothing a restart of the software couldn't handle.

I think the audio thing happened to me once or twice with the Wii version. It was weird, but like you said, turning it off and on fixed it.

So, finally found the shop in the hidden village, and outfitted everyone, especially Seven, with new armor and weapons.

The Speed set for Fiora seems like a bit of a plot hole- Apparently she retained a lot more of her original body than I initially thought.

I sure said that!

It's artificial skin. You can see some Tron Lines around her legs and such.

I wonder. Did Xenoblade 3D make it easier to get your hands on useful crystals and cylinders early on, or did losing access to the Colony 6 pit cut you off from a lot of useful crystal patches? Maybe I've gotten more lost than I'd like to admit, but I've found things I don't normally find at this level.

If everyone were normal, the world would be a dull place. Like reality television.

Look closer, it's synthetic.

Ah, yep, you're right. It's most obvious around the legs' ball-and-socket joints.

Still, you can see why I'd be surprised at first, right?

I sure said that!

yup.
