Kinda disappointing considering how shallow the skell combat is, how none of the attacks synergize with any of the others, how team dynamics don't factor in at all and how you still don't get a flight pack for another 5 hours after that point.

Kinda 'meh' really.

>>323126507
Is it just me or does True Elmas appearance seem to be heavily inspired by KOS-MOS?

Video is a post game spoiler you have been warned.

True. The skells LOOK amazing, but they don't actually add much to the game except for being a vehicle for your character to move faster. I actually really dislike the Skell combat, like you said, as you don't get skills, it's only based on weapons. It's kinda cool how each weapon is one skill, but it's extremely shallow, again, like you said.

TL;DR - The skells look awesome, but don't add much.

>>323127891
So just build an overdrive focused character and do your fighting on foot. If you do overdrive right you can actually be more powerful on foot than in a skell. The way I see it skells are ultimately just the easy for becoming op like your supposed to be at end game and post game.

what set is this

I honestly didn't know what to feel until I ended up climbing the mountains in Primordia that lead to Noctilum.
That's when it hit me that "Holy fuck, I can actually do this".
Then I fell in love with it.
And being a Nu Gundamfag, watching it use the Beam Drones was orgasmic.

This is this very small window toward the end of the game where you first get your 50 skell where the skell is actually better than fighting it on the ground.

Otherwise skells are weaker and more vulnerable than fighting on foot.

It's funny when your skell gets blown up and utterly wrecked in a totally one sided fight then you proceed to kick that things ass on foot. Probably the only game I've played where 90% of the time ground gear is better than being in a mech.

They really didn't balance this shit at all.

>>323126507
Still haven't gotten that far yet. No spoilers but is it blade level related or story related?

After you clear chapter 6, you unlock the skell license quest at the quest terminal. Once you complete the quest you get a free level 20 skell, and from then on you can buy level 30 and 50 skell frames from the shop terminal (obviously, you need to be level 30 to use 30 frames, and 50 for 50 frames).

>>323130023
Oh thanks

I havent played much since i got it. For some reason it felt like such an achievement that i feel like i finished the game already. Need to pick it back up soon.

>>323127891
I don't understand how they've managed to consistently fuck up mech combat so many times across all the Xeno games. It should not be that hard to make it fun to play as mechs.

At least Xenoblade didn't even bother. Though piloting a Face would have at the very least looked pretty rad.

>>323130968
That's cool in an evil angel looking kinda way, but why would you even build ears that big on a robot?

What's your favorite area so far? For me it's Oblivia.

>>323132886
Sylvalum has definitely the best atmosphere and alien landscape. And the best sense of dread and danger, especially when a spore storm brews up.

Other than that I'd say Noctilum is the prettiest region. https://youtu.be/vaOiDv0KNKg?t=332

Would you a Nopon?

I definitely would. Pisa is my Noponfu, I want to go get drinks with her and watch the Prone dance.

>>323133570
>Would you a Nopon
Do I have to tell anyone afterwards? I feel like the Nopon are the mopeds of Mira. You know "fun to ride but you wouldn't want your friends to find out".

postan skells

>>323133360
Yeah noctilums blue grassy area and sylvalum in general give off a nice alien world feel.

>>323136760
>Noctilum's blue grassy area
Literally Namek.

>>323136986
Yeah, but I still think it's neat.

>>323137313
Oh, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just noting that it really did look like Namek.

>tfw you can't immigrate slug-people into NLA

I havent been playing it much, so havent even gotten my skell yet.

I need to get a capture card so i can just play console games on my monitor so i won't be distracted by my PC next to me

>>323137739
>slug-people
Were the Nameks slug people? I never realized that.

>>323137813
I've got the opposite problem; I've been playing it a lot but am still screwing around between chapters 4 and 5 so I haven't got my smell yet.

that's one way to ruin what should have been an amazing boss, I guess

Idk what those big things in the distance are but I can't wait to find out.

Tonight I explore Cauldros to plant probes wish me luck.

>>323139167
Good luck. Cauldros' start is filled with high level shit but there's areas that aren't so bad a little further in.

>tfw always find Mining Probes, but never Research Probes

Toss me a duplicator or a booster at least for christ's sake!

>>323139328
Pretty sure duplicator and booster are quest-exclusive, might be wrong though.

Anybody here know who the female vocalist is for this game. Or, if there are several, for the daytime NLA theme specifically? She sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on where I heard her before.

Beware of aggroing monsters. The place is full of them.

>>323129236
I disagree with your assessment.
Level 30 skells let you tackle stuff way harder than you could take on the ground at level 30.
You can suddenly easily dispatch enemies more than 20 levels above you.
And in the post game, farming for the augs to make your ground build unstoppable takes quite a bit longer then it does to just farm for one Ares 90.
Skells are better from the moment you hit 30 until the moment you're decked out in post game augments.

>>323126507
I don't like that thumbnail. Use the box art for Xenoblade threads its amazing.

And yeah the skells are baller flight song is top tier.

Unparalleled power quite frankly. The game did a great job of making you appreciate how strong it makes you.

>>323129236
>It's funny when your skell gets blown up and utterly wrecked in a totally one sided fight then you proceed to kick that things ass on foot

or you were an idiot and fought something that has mechnical damage boosts.

Not all mobs are creted equal. It's a fucking basic 101 of rpgs. Some mobs will trash certian setups.

Boze's 2nd affinity mission is a good example. An electric boss no one was ready for and lava. Both easily countered with the right gear and easily farmed augments.

Setup the skells correctly and they either 1-2 shot everything within their range or sit there and laugh at never taking damage.

It's all about proper customization.

Stupid question probably but how do you know for sure when an art is a melee art? Is it when an special has attack with or switch to a melee weapon?

>>323146795
Orange arts are melee arts, 100% of the time, even if they use your ranged weapon like Assault Hammer does.
