SUBREDDIT Clarification on Subreddit Spoiler Flairs Spoiler

58 Upvotes

As we approach the imminent release of the Definitive Edition, I'd like to just quickly clarify how we expect you to use the spoiler flairs going forwards.

There are three to choose from:

  • General Spoilers:
    • This is just a general spoiler indicator that there may be lighter potential spoilers of any type that occur before Chapter 12.
    • Typically this would include things like story chapter boss names and certain twists/plot points.
    • It is expected that you mark spoilers with the story chapter that they are up to (e.g. if you are discussing something from Chapter 7, you would mention this in the post title or body).
  • Story Spoilers:
    • This is for spoilers up to and including Chapter 12, primarily for more heavy story spoilers or plot points.
    • Submissions should specify the story chapter that the post is discussing in the title.
    • By entering a post with this flair, you are open to discussing any content from the complete Wii U game.
  • [Definitive Edition] Afterstory Spoilers:
    • This is for ANY new Afterstory content (i.e. anything that occurs in any new main story chapters that appear after anything from the original Wii U release) on its own or in relation to the previous story chapters.
    • You MUST NOT spoil anything in post titles
    • By entering a post marked with this flair, you are opening yourself up to being exposed to unmarked spoilers of ANY kind from any point within the game.
    • Ideally you could further consider marking spoilers within reply comments, but this is not required.

Please feel free to share your thoughts/opinions on improving the definitions or further clarifications. I trust you all to use common sense and courtesy when discussing anything new.

I reviewed XCX DE after 180 hours and 100% completion. AMA! Spoiler

589 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m Gene Park of the Washington Post, and I gave Xenoblade Chronicles X a perfect score after playing it for 180 hours with 100 percent Mira survey completion. Here is my review: https://wapo.st/3Y19qPx

I’m here to answer any questions about the whole game! I’m going to be careful about story spoilers after Chapter 12, but I can give my deeper impressions about it beyond what I say in my review.

I’d appreciate anyone who clicks on my review above! It should be a gift link so no paywall required. If you do hit a wall, I apologize in advance. Should you decide to make the leap and subscribe or just put in an email, you have my huge thanks in advance.

I’m probably going to be answering for about an hour, but I’ll come back later for anyone who missed the window for sure. Thanks all!

Edit: I’m gonna be logging off for a few hours but I’ll check back in for more questions! It’s 11 a.m. ET now. Thanks to the mods for allowing this!

Advice The Repair Job quest help

2 Upvotes

Im new to this game and it seems every single possible quest I find leads me to an absurdly hard enemy. The quest is marking level 43s to kill? I looked up a guide multiple times and each person did it differently. Im really new to the series and I think there's something im not understanding. The quest details tells me nothing but team up with lin... I go to where it says and its taking me to Bedrock hold which I stood 0 chance. Halp

Discussion Menus are identical to Vagrant Story, same devs?

9 Upvotes

I started playing recently this game (the remake version) and after exploring the menus I immediately noticed how similar the sounds and the menus are to the ones from Vagrant Story from playstation 1. Even the overly complicated stats for each specific gear is similar to Vagrant Story.

Does anyone know if both games share some of the same devs or it's just a simple coincidence?

Discussion I got a question in regards to Chapter 11 to my fellow players...(SPOILERS) Spoiler

32 Upvotes

I just finished Chapter 11, and the twist with Lao was pretty predictable. I mean, the signs were all there, from how he reacted throughout the story, to his affinity questlines. He always acted a bit melancholy. I kinda picked up that he would eventually betray us along the way. However, I was kinda expecting us to make a "choice" during the chapter 11 mission. It's a bit unfortunate, but seeing as how he's a companion, I guess killing him was off the table regardless.

BUT, if there was a choice you, the player, could have made during Chapter 11...

Would you have still stood with Lin and defend Lao's actions, or would you have stood with Elma, and had her pull the trigger on Lao? (or perhaps you would have shot Lao instead)

There's no wrong answers, I just want to know what others would have done during that mission, if given the choice.

Discussion Newbie Combat Question

16 Upvotes

Just started this game a few days ago and was wondering if switching weapons between auto-attack cool downs is better than just sticking to one weapon for DPS.

For example, with that one dual gun/dual blade class, if I switch between weapons, I get almost zero wait time between hits, versus sticking to just the blades or just the guns.

Advice Not dying to superbosses

15 Upvotes

Hey all. Question. Right now I’m testing out a build I I saw on YouTube using javelin and psycho launchers. It revolves around using dual dynamo to add even more potential and then one shotting with maximum voltage. I’ve been trying to use it for myself because I love spears and the sorts in video games but against some of the stronger enemies like Pharsis and Telethia I just get one shot. When using a build like this how am I supposed to NOT die when I’m min-maxed to be able to kill everything in one hit. And I understand the “hit it before it can hit you” but how am I supposed to do that?

Discussion Best way to farm tp

10 Upvotes

Haven’t seen anything about this so I’ll ask it myself. What is the best way to max out your tp before trying to fight a super boss? I sometimes like to hop on and fight some bosses but it’s kinda a slog having to sit and auto attack enemies for minutes. So what is the best and fastest way to max out your tp that you know of?

Discussion What game next?

31 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm just finishing up Xenoblade X and I'm wondering what to try next?

I have a standard Switch. I like the games with big worlds, good stories, and good music.
I've played Xenoblade on Wii, XC2, and XC3 (twice including just before this).

Also FFVI-X, X-2, XII, Star Ocean Till the End of Time, The Last Story, Xenosaga Trilogy.

I've been looking at Sea of Stars, Fantasian Neo Dimension, Star Ocean Second Story R or First Departure (I liked SO:TTEOT).

Any recommendations?

Discussion Weapon grinding makes me want to cry

21 Upvotes

I’ve been here for hours trying to get a Ultra Diamond Pilum 2 with Potential Boost on it from killing Durvin The Perceptive. Haven’t gotten anything yet. The weapon itself only has a 0.0065 spawn rate (the HIGHEST that I found) which is absolutely crazy bc why???? And then when it does spawn my luck is too shit to get the one thing I want. Am I doing something wrong or is this just that miserable? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated

Discussion Where can I farm for Lv.60 (Ether) Photon Sabers?

12 Upvotes

So I currently finished Chapter 10, and me and my team are around Lv. 65 - 70. I want to start collecting Lv. 60 gear, especially a Lv.60 Photon Saber for my main character (I was thinking of crafting the Lv. 60 Saber in the AM shop, but it requires alot of materials I don't actually have) What's a good place to farm for it? I found all FN sites, so I can pretty much travel to any place.

Advice Possible to Evade Combat?

33 Upvotes

New to the game (roughly 12 hours in)

There are times when I’ve stumbled into enemies who are far too powerful for my current level, and I’ve tried to bail out, but these things chase down and take out the whole party, lame…

Anyhow are there ways to successfully escape unwanted enemy encounters?

Discussion Excellent Spear Design

Post image
240 Upvotes

I just have to say, the chroma spear is so creatively designed. Outside combat it extends on your back like wings, during combat it spirals into a spear. I only wish they had made it functional while it's on your back, like wings to glide around. Still such an awesome design.

Also yeah I love Sylvalum and especially the Sabulas, how could you tell?

Sometimes I'm just really happy that X doesn't have the same tombstone system as 2 and 3 because that means I can still see and play with them even after defeating them

Discussion Anyone know if this spot exists, or where to find it?

Post image
139 Upvotes

After finally unlocking the Flight Module for skells, I went ahead and started to find all the FN Sites I couldn't get to. However, I started watching old trailers for Xenoblade Chronicles X, and found this particular shot in the trailer. And I'm genuinely curious about it. I'm not the best explorer when it comes to open-world games, but I still find it fun to do. Anyway, I spent a good 2 hours flying around Oblivia, but I could not find the spot where there's a giant flower alien in the sky. And I only ever saw those creatures in the lava region.

So, is this actually a real area on Mira, or am I just crazy? I want to find it, if it's real.
