I nearly fell asleep with those awkward silences, inexpressive characters and scenes without music at the beginning.

Well, that was me, too

But after that the game became much more lively and entertaining

So I am stuck already... lol.

I am terrible at finding where I am heading in Noctilum. Running in circles right now

Does anyone know how to unlock chapter 5? I can't find the quest. Great game, but it has some terrible flaws in game design. Hiding quests behind quests is plain stupid.

i think the rating for this would be around 85. knowing the west won't give it a very high score. 85 seems good.

i'm playing this game and would further provide my comment once i've clocked more hours.

Yeah, I tried that way, but I don't find any NPC who gives me tips about that mission. I understand that when you heard a rumor, a green tick appears on the hexagon where that information applies. I don't know if talking with NPCs give you some tips, I'll try that. It seems weird to me that the quest is hidden behind some quests, and I hope that's not the case :(

Hopefully for me, too. I had too quit just before collecting that Pod thing (or I don't remember how the called it) at NLA's east side because it was too late. 

So I have a question. How do you activate heart to hearts?

They begin to appear as you progress through the game. To make one affinity quest (I guess that's what you refer with a XC term :P) you need to have a minimum level, a specific party and a certain affinity with one character. I don't know if that's what you mean ;)

I'm stuck by the way. Just doing side quests but totally incapable of knowing where in the hell is that chapter 5 quest to progress :(

Not very impressed with the game for now. That first continent is so ugly tbh. I will keep playing of course, I also hated the beginning of Xenoblade Chronicles and TP, my two favorite Wii games.
