How a Xenoblade Hater Thinks -
1. The characters are generic. Therefore, the entire game is generic.
2. The game isn't in HD. Therefore, it looks like boiled cat vomit.
3. This game is a Wii exclusive. Therefore, it will be overhyped since there aren't any amazing RPGs on the system.
4. MMO combat sucks. Therefore, no matter how many twists Xenoblade applies to this formula, the combat is terrible.
5. The quests are are all standard fare. Therefore, they cannot be fun or rewarding even when they can be completed during normal gameplay.
6. The AI is bad, even when it often works just fine.
7. Party members cannot be switched during battle. Therefore, the battle system cannot be deep or rewarding.
8. The soundtrack is good. Shame it's the only worthwhile part of the game.

I don´t think that there are real Xenoblade Haters the franchise is not big enough.

I think the main 'haters' come from people who fall into the 3rd catergory of those points, though. And the fact that they'll never be able to play it on any other console than those Nintendo-made.

In which case they should just shut up and play Lost Odyssey or something.

No they should not, every game "haters", haters indicate the potential, and quality of a game. Nobody bothers to hate Neverdead because it´s not worth it. Every great game has it´s hater community.

Precisely. Amongst these, they'll be a group of people who actually dislike the game, and also a faction of people who have never played the game, and have no intention to, but sully it's name just to annoy.

I believe these are called 'trolls'. Very few on this site, fortunately.

 

OT: Finished the game again today. Level 78, 45 hours. It was hard, but so, SO worth it. Now I can discuss the ending with people who've finished it with my refreshed memory

Congrats! Dat scene eh?

The best one is the one with Fiora and Dunban in the village. Awesome. And Fiora is a great character. BELIEVE ME THIS TIME!

Although, it may take some experimentation, as she can be almost any character, depending on her frame. The speed frame is a bit...revealing, let's say, for a robot, but she's still good. Can also auto-topple all enemies with Final Cross, though it requires fiery tension. Now head on into  the unknown frontier!

Of course I believe you. I liked her from the beginning. Btw. I was just doing some the side missions from the Machina village I was playing with Wing Head Heropon and Dundun but to gain affinity between those characters, and I managed to gain the affinity between Dunban-Melia and Dunban-Rikki but couldn´t gain it between Rikki-Melia. I had the same issuse with Shulk-Rikki, Shulk-Melia, Reyn-Rikki and Reyn-Melia. Everybody seems to like Dunban but they don´t like each other. How can I change that?

AGGGH!! I haven't been able to play for like 3 days! This weekend is Heropon central. Also, at some point I need to rebuild this damn colony 6 so I can make me some good gems.

Everyone builds affinity more between the main character. If you want to raise that affinity, then make that person the main character.

Also, some links are 'easier' than others, i.e. they go up quicker. They are as below:

Shulk- Fiora, Reyn, Melia

Reyn- Sharla

Sharla- Reyn, Melia

Dunban- Fiora

Riki- Melia

Melia- Riki, Shulk, Sharla

Fiora- Shulk, Dunban

 

I don't know if that's true, but having Riki and Melia in my party with Shulk as the main, Shulk went up much quicker with Melia than Shulk. She also cut in much more than Riki. Same with the other links. It might be random, but it occured far too often for a coincidence.

In addition, ever tried giving gifts?
