I have been doing sidequests and rebuilding colony 6 Actually I tend to do most sidequests as I play the game, and I haven't really been struggling except that 1 boss because of poor party lineup. I've even been going back to various shops to buy intermediate spells and such, and yea. When I look at my sidequests list I'm usually 50-70% done, and the ones that aren't done are Monster/Item Quests. My motto is that when I see the right enemy I always fight him, but if I don't I fight them under my own disgression. If I feel underleveled I will fight almost anybody on my path, and I rarely avoid enemies.

If I didn't do this stuff I would be at my point maybe 3 hours sooner.

Wow if I'm going 40% faster then regular pace, then I will be done in 40 hours total. I could probably get 100% completion somewhere between 60-80 hours if my assumption of going 40% faster is correct.

Also most reviews said 60 hours plus another 40-60 if you do all side quests.

I'd say closer to 50-60 hours, which is still below average. But yeah, there's soooo much stuff which opens up after a certain story event, including the extended areas of certain areas, dozens of new quests, all the stuff for Colony 6, and all of the 5th skill trees. You've got plenty more to do.

Just try to do all of the timed quests before you head into the abandoned capital. And do all the quests IN the abandoned capital before fighting the next boss. I don't know where you are, but it's general advice. The game doesn't war you, but several areas are locked out at this point. 

Oh, and do EVERYTHING on the sword and fortress as possible, ASAP! 

I haven't gotten to the Adandoned Capital, but I'll do that. So long as it's not a stupid "deated x number of y enemies" quest it shal be done.

After a few of the starting areas, very few quests are like that. Most of them are far more complex, you see. 

Heck, Colony 6 has NO quests which just involve collecting/killing x of y...

So far my Colony 6 quests have been to collect x items to upgrade something, or deliver a message.

Been offline for a while because I moved, I'm 23 hours in now, and started playing again. Bosses are starting to get harder, so I've actually been trying to do side-quests more often.

Xenoblade is great but there's many good RPGs out there too. Persona 4 and TWEWY are quite as good (if not better in P4's case. Seriously you have to play it if you haven't.). Persona 3 FES is also good, so is Tales of the Abyss, Baten Kaitos Origins, SMT: Devil Summoner 2, SMT: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, SMT: Devil Survivor 1 and 2, etc.


Never heard of the most games there, except Persona. But isn´t Persona a PS 2 game? and whats TWEWY and SMT?

The World Ends With You (DS) and...I dunno. But Tales Of The Abyss (3DS/PS2) is AWESOME! As it Baten Kaitos, made by the same people

 

Also, though of re-playing it?

man... I find myself thinking about this game more often these past few weeks, wishing I had more time to play it



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

Well, why not just play it?

I must admit, when I was playing The Last Story, all I could think about was 'it's good, but it's not as good as Xenoblade', or 'In Xenoblade, you'd be able to do that...' etc.

 

After playing it, other games feel someone irrelevant.

Also, I'm very disappointed to see that leading the poll is Shulk, then Heropon, then Dunban.

No love for the Bird Lady?

Never, the last time I did this was with mass effect :/. Games like these are like a girl you really like and care about, but after you break up with them you start to bang other chicks and hookers frequently but you still can just think about this one girl. And replaying it would just stall you to get over it.

Btw. You said once Dunban was the character who suffered most. Thats incorrect the poorest of all characters was Melia. She lost her father, lost her mothers, her brother, almost her whole kingdom had no real friends left and the person she loves doesn´t love her back. I din´t like her through the whole but I felt so sorry for her at the end . She deserves somebody to hug her and say: "Nah Nah"

I voted for Melia! She was my favourite battler just slightly ahead of Fiora. As long as I had both of them in my party I really didn't need any other character.

True. If I was Shulk, I'd choose Melia over Fiora. I just prefer Melia overall as a character.  I think she deserved it, and the game should have given you a choice.

Melia may have lost her family and her friends, but at least they weren't trying to kill you, kill your sister and try to destroy the world, forcing you to kill them. And he wrecked his arm, having to watch Shulk be the hero he never could be. Every character, bar Riki, lost a lot in the game. I like that.

And I suppose you're right about not replaying it. I enjoy re-doing games like this after a break for a while. Because the story still seems new, and you can do so much differently, you uncover new secrets each time. For example, this playthrough I'm liking Reyn a lot more than the first time. Who knows if this will continue...
