Bionis' Leg!

(spacing this post weird to accommodate broken thread)

Lord help me, i spent two whole hours today almost entirely on
bookkeeping: upgrading weapons, selling stuff
giving gifts, and going around filling out Heart-to-Heart's.
Maybe i'll play a little extra, finally make the push out of
Agniratha.

Edit:

Made the push through. Gadolt was hardest, with that nasty
Area-of-effect bullet attack that didn't count as a talent art
and those cockblocking mechon he summoned, forcing you
off target, just when you thought you had him. For some
reason, i thought Sharla would refuse to fight him, so
i went on with Riki and lost, but he was doable with
her in party.

Egil was easier, and aside from a spot of Arts Seal, whatever-
the-hell his other thing is called (Yaldaboth?), was easy enough
as well. It was funny, i was doing well against him, then it goes to
a cutscene where everyone's half-dead and sprawled in front
of him.

Hey, um, what happened. I wanted to read some stuff about Xenoblade
but now everything is messed up.
poop.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Yeah, that fight is the second hardest boss fight in the game IMHO. But the harder one is much, MUCH harder.

Now, before you go into Junks, do any timed quests, anything in Mechonis, and the 'Mafia' quest in Frontier Village, for this is the last chance!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

A quick question about the Love Potion.

What do you have to trade to get it? Nothing I have is worth enough >.

When does it stop being too overwhelming? When does someone get used to it?
I'm on my way to Prision Island, and I don't want to do anything but progress the story, it's all too much.

Really, it needs more landmarks.

I completely failed the Shulk-Seven Heart-to-Heart on the beach. It gave me an achievement for it.

I'm finding difficulty with the questions on a lot of Seven Heart-to-Heart's. Often they hit you over the head with which one is insulting, but with some of these i keep thinking "here they want you to be honest," and... nope. They want you to ego-stoke, or dance around the question. One of them wants you to have Melia outright lie to Riki about how she feels about Shulk, because the truth is the wrong answer there.

Edit: We're positive on the whole "No Heart-to-Heart's become inaccessible" thing, right? Because three pinks are listed for Prison Island, and i'm also seeing a lockout advisory for Prison Island in the upcoming thing.


Yeah, a lot of the time they're not that obvious so you should just save beforehand in case you mess up. They're just like the Social Links in Persona.

Actually what I liked about the Heart-to-Hearts is that if you mess up you can get a completely different conversation instead of having the same exact conversation but a negative version of it. Even if you screw up on a single question you can get a different conversation which leads to different answers you can pick and the only thing you lose out on is affinity. Even if you mess up, the conversations can still be very positive lol.

Aye, and you don't even lose that much affinity. I think at worst it's -3 hearts, if those big ones near the end of the conversation are worth five.

BTW, am I the only one who likes those cool subtle resemblances to CT?
A kingdom that floats, with people who think that they are better than humans, an evil Queen, time elements.

Also, how do you beat those molecule like monsters quickly? It takes me too much.

Use Ether spells (like Melia's) to take them down quicker. Also what time elements?

You know, Shulk has his taste of time traveling (looking into the future) but they are very subtle, the game has it's own body and soul, but it's still cool it has these mini connections.

Also, Thanks, I guess Heropon will be out for now.  



Well, i made the dive. Couldn't sort out the mess of Frontier Village quests, so i scrapped that. The Xenoblade wiki seems to indicate that the quests critical to completing the Heart-to-Heart's are not tied to the Mafia quests. The preparations for the endgame now begin, it's time for grinding, doing what is necessary to complete the Heart-to-Hearts

Damn did that whole sequence of events take a while. I didn't want to save until they were at least letting me go free, so i had to keep going and going.
