It does, but it also reforms come the core...

Meh. You still like it, no?

Absolutely.  I play games for the gameplay, a nice story is a bonus.  And Xenoblade's is definitely good for the most part, I just didn't like the turn it took late in the game.  But it's an awesome, awesome, awesome game.  Hell, I'm still playing it!  116 hours in just finishing up sidequests and rebuilding Colony 6 before I go on and end it.  I clearly don't want it to end because it's so good and I don't have anything else to play... :(

Guess I have The Last Story to look foward too.

Have you finished any of the Monado quests so far, or got any of the 5th skill trees? They're quite good!

So far, I only got 5 skill trees for Shulk, Reyn, Dunban, and Melia.  Poor Ricki still only has 3.  :(  Might just have to just break out that google docs spreadsheet, even though I like to find these types of things on my own.  But it can be impossible in this game.  In the next one, they should have a way of letting you know that quests are readily available to accept and give you a more comprehensive way of finding named NPCs during specific times of the day.  Using the affinity map to get time ranges and trying to remember where certain characters are can be a headache.

I'm working on the Monado quests now and just have to upgrade Colony 6 special to lvl. 5 and that'll be done.  Also, I'm missing some Collectapedia items (one in Eryth Sea, one in Frontier Village, and all of them in 'Other').  Hmmm.

 

For Riki, his skill trees involve 2 rival doctors entering dentistry in Frontier Village, and the other involves the Nopon Sage. I agree his are the hardest (bar maybe the Machina in your team). I agree with the quest and affinity chart thing. Be able to select each icon on the affinity chart to see their location, and have a ! appear if they have a new quest, for example. Finally, the Other collectables can only be traded. One's from the women who's at the Ether Light during the day, 2 others are from Colony 6 High Entia (Ma'Crish and Yura?), the other 2 I forget, I'm afraid. The other collectibles in the other areas- try trading or going around at night. Some can only be found at night, whilst raining etc.
