>game has almost 20 party members >The two most boring

>>376621575
But I liked Lyn and Elma

>>376621575
im currently on chapter 9 i believe but so far im fine with the characters, if not all of them. Sure, sometimes the game has this weird vibe like it tries to be a western made anime or something but its not bad. If anything while i was doing affinity missions i've come to like or hate some characters, and even hate towards a character is good because that shows they work in the game and make you feel things about them instead of being some filler NPC that doesnt show any personality.

>>376622554
They're both just so fucking boring. Neither of them has a personality.

>>376622664
Most of the cast outside of the main seven is pretty good but none of them get any spotlight because the main seven (and especially Elma and Lin) are always hogging the spotlight. But despite hogging the spotlight so much none of them really have much character development.

>>376622723
>Neither of them has a personality.
Sure they do.

Elma is a soldier through and through and always sticks to her guns while Lin is genki girl with a fanaticism for Skells (Dolls).

They have more dialogue than the average NPC too.

Sure they may not interact with the rest of your party all that much unlike the previous game, but they don't completely lack in personality either.

>>376621575
I always used murderess and her rival whenever I could

>>376621575
Because voice acting.

Other party members don't have lines recorded for those missions, so you're bringing Elma and Potato instead.

>>376622992
I dont mind the fact that you spend most of the time with these 2 in fact its somewhat refreshing having two female characters tag along but not being the generic helper females. After all storywise they save your life, you cant just tell them to take a hike and find new friends. Who's gonna cook you dinner then, huh?! Also, affinity missions give the other characters time to shine storywise.

No doubt Elma's there for plot relevance in whatever the hell X thought it was going to do in the likely nonexistent sequel. Lin's there because Cross is a J-body and having a mechanic like lin on your team while field-testing a J-body would be hella convenient.

No fucking kidding, let's also not forget Celica. Her recruitment is optional; however out of the 8 extra characters she's the only one besides Nagi who is forcibly introduced in the main story (by way of a required affinity mission, but still)

UH UH YEAH

It wouldn't have been so bad if absent party members leveled up with you like in the first one. Why did they remove that in the game with three times the amount of playable characters?

>>376625257

I say pick 3-5 to worry about and then just grind the rest on Joker. lvl-50 mech+phoenix wing+insect slayer XX makes him a cakewalk

>>376625553
Leveling up the stragglers in X is fucking easy though, due to the way that exp from enemy kills scales up where they're higher than your level.

Just slap a phoenix weapon on your strongest skell and clear Sandspirit Cavity in Sylvalum.
Just don't aggro the sleeping tyrant in there.

Yes, that method is faster than killing Joker in the big flower in Noctilum.

Yeah, Gi Zang was the shit. I'm certain him and Slovity and practically everyone in the fighting tournament sidequest were at least planed as potential party members at one point.

>>376627134
There are many classes in the game the player can be. There is one party member for each class.

>>376627134
Most of them are shit. Like there's a bunch of characters who share Elma's class but none of them can ever be as good as Elma due to their stat distribution and arts. Same for Lin, all the tanks are worse than her.
And pretty much every party member is useless in post-game, at that point you more or less have to kill the bosses by yourself.

>>376627134
Four of the party members were DLC in Japan.
Most party members are pretty good.

Ok, the deal with Mira is the Zohar is on it
The game has a lot of similarities with the backstory of Xenogears, and the Lifehold Core is basically the Kadomony, and it's shown in game shitting out bioweapon abominations like what Deus is.
The Zohar is the only missing piece and the type of god powers the Wave Existence that resides in it has would explain Mira's weirdness.

My guess is that mira is some kind of haven for preserving life against something, since it seems to be drawing in troubled races and giving them the ability to speak to one another. this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YnzbW7gTU
plays most memorably in connection to celica's recruitment and appropriately accompanies her shtick for disliking violence and wanting peace and to protect. It also plays during the scene where Elma/Lin/Tatsu/thos ma-non establish the whole translation deal, hinting at mira's purpose.

My personal crack theory: given takahashi's love for gnosticism, I think mira is a device for safely surviving the death and rebirth of the universe. Recall that Luxaar described the samaar as "arriving from another plane" at "the dawn of the cosmos"

it's kind of choppy because he tries voicing at some point despite his choppy english and shitty mic and he changes his mind on some things between videos, causing some inconsistencies. But they're great

The mira video is especially bad about it, but it has some of the best shit about what mira's really doing and basically answers the question about why everybody's still alive after the lifehold core's descruction: short version is, according to concept art, mira has at least two lifehold cores of it's own about its north pole to which the human's conciousnesses have no doubt been forcibly migrated. since the lifehold core came from technology supplied by elma, this has interesting implications for elma's origin (and you'll see a lot of that in the rest of those videos) And yes, that's the short verison.

By "more" you mean like this right?

They really fucked everything up with the characters in general, a really sad departure from XC. Having a small cast of likable party members is better than having 20 you don't give a fuck about. I know some of them were added as DLC or whatever but they pretty much all suck with the exception of a few.

And having to manually round them up to be in your party is retarded.

They wre certainly done very differently.
Characters in X were much less relevant to the plot, with few exceptions and having so many of them there certainly are low and high points.

So even if they're not all great like in XC, you can easily ignore most of them and you'll even have replacements for the same role elsewhere.
Hell, for the utility sake you don't even need to use written characters.

But I'd say I was surprised on how much I loked a lot of them. Like half. And straight up adored half of those.

There aren't all that many useful arts, I tend to find. Even if you're interested in a couple for some very specific build, that's like 2 characters you'll need to befriend and those may or may not be to your liking.

What I'm saying is that the characters are a mixed bag, but the game is very flexible when it comes to the way you customize your party.
So even if you don't like the characters in X, that's merely a missed opportunity, rather than a genuine annoyance.

Imagine you didn't like, say, Sharla in XC. Welp, I sure you don't like playing as/with healers then because your options become somewhat limited in that respect. On the other hand, if you liked Sharla a lot, you better be happy to play with that role in your composition.
And this is not even shots fired aganist XC, because I even think they had a decent amount of role customization and almost flawless characters.

I feel like it may have been postponed until later, he claims he "much prefers" to simply be called L which may hint at him not liking what he really is. It's an archetype takahashi likes to explore (L always reminded me of chaos for no apparent reason) and the visual cue is there: unlike most demons with red skin/upward horns, L's is blue and his horns curve down.

I've always had the impression that much of what appears to have been dummied out of the concept art was just postponed into the sequel they were hoping to make, although the only hard evidence of that is Lao waking up on the beach with black knight contrasted with how it was originally going to take place in Neotokyo that had a beach in it.

Because of this link, if we do get a sequel my money says it will center on the japanese lifehold titled "neotokyo", far to the east/southeast of NLA, and feature Lao as the protagonist.

Elma is a flat character. But that doesn't mean that's a bad thing.

For the role she plays in the story, that's not only to be expected, but also desirable.
By the time you get to her twist in the end, everything she says and does starts to make a lot of sense.

If somebody claims she's a deep or emotional evoking character, they're indeed just worshiping a waifu.
But she's a pleasant character that was handled exactly as the game "required" her to do.

Maybe. he bears some visual resemblence to the main character X was supposed to have, and it makes sense plot-wise. The main plot thread now is the question of how everyone's still alive, and it'd make sense to have lao be at the center of that followup since it was his tirade that first introduced us to the whole remotely-controlled-by-virtual-consiousness thing during his tirade in the first place.

The theory is that since you died before the game even began you're in purgatory and trapped there with everyone else. You meet the devil on the beach in the final scene.

The game REALLY should have used a global level for everyone.
Specialy since you have a defined main character that could never leave the party.

Go to the console outside the barracks and select lvl 60 long sword and dual guns. Look for a guy named Arbitus or a girl named Aranea. Both have Treasure sensor XX, specially Arbitus which is full of them. Now go kill the monster with your Ares90, get your set, fap, done.

Weaker? man give it another listen, that shit's great. The connection to celica's theme is totally there though, and is definitely another piece of evidence that mira's purpose and celica's tendency to want to protect others are related.

Nah dude.
You can pretty much break the game with one XX or even XV overdrive extension augment and 2 or 3 skills.
Maybe even sooner if you use the ramjet rifle.

You won't be absolutely unstopable, and some enemies might give you trouble, but that should carry you so far, so quickly, that you can at that point farm for the rest of your build 100h sooner than you otherwise would.

Yes. I feel like it fits better specially if we consider that it's still Noctilum. The music is also more upbeat and that's what's missing on that desolate place. The one ingame isn't bad I just feel like the other would be better, that's all.

>>376633979
Last Elma

>>376634040
I have them all but can't post pics, can describe though. if it follows the convention of all other outfits, there are only two variants you can't view in the store. Both have a kind of cobalt-colored skin tone with the foil being black-ish for regal tier, gold for infinite tier (as is always the case for infinite tier)

>>376633612
Thankfuly that augment is particularly easy to make. You probably can't really get the materials yourself, but you can buy them for cheap with tickets. Even cheaper if you make lots of rank V ones.

That's all you need, really. Just by having infinite overdrive and using 3rd tier arts you already turn into a super saiyan mode.

The lewd plant outfit is in the game and is part of the orphean armor sets.
The ones in the concept art are not but some parts of that survived through other sets. You can see that the cape/poncho thing loli elma is wearing bears a resemblance to the Veyes top Elma uses in game.

>>376634340
>You probably can't really get the materials yourself, but you can buy them for cheap with tickets.
Right, but when you go to the augment maker the materials in the list are just covered by question marks until you actually find them in the wild.
So how do you know which ones to buy?

>>376634164
meh, I liked the dark and menacing feel the original had. really helped to hammer home that you were in the domain of the most powerful mob in the game, and while celica's theme would certainly have properly stated the telethia's divinity I feel like the telethia's disposition is too feral and hostile for celica's theme to work.

to that end yes, I believe that the telethia is only a servant of whoever or whatever made mira and is not directly connected to whoever is masterminding whatever the fuck is going on .

>>376634458
The internet helps.
Also, some gear already comes with the augments so you could farm those as well. I'm guessing you are in post game content. If so there is a google doc with all the info you could possibly need.

Where to drop stuff, which sets come with which augments, weapons, skell weapons and so on.

My experience with this game. I can see why people like it, just not my style of game.

>>376634514
I just find that the area is too barren and the other theme while more upbeat would get you more pumped early on.
I'm also disappointed that Telethia doesn't get it's own battle theme. Missed oportunity.

On that note, since I think I do have at least one piece from every regal/infinite set, maybe I should do that. how do you take good screenshots of gameplay? I don't have every piece of every set, but like I said I'm pretty sure I have at least one of them all which is enough to at least get a feel for the palette replacements.

After you get control of your character for the very first time you can literally go and explore the fucking world at your leisure and luck.
Too bad you were too impatient to actually let that happen.

>>376632197
Honestly when you skip cutscenes and mash through dialogs it's pretty fast to get going from my experience. In two days I was already at the skell license exam.

It's not that bad, especially considering you can go basically everywhere starting with the chapter where they send you to Noctilum.

also yeah I can see how the early sections would be good for it. It's just that the glossolalia, at least for me, communicates a sense of nobility and benevolence that's at odds with Telethia's history

>>376634863
Damn... I forgot about that.
I gotta drop the Zenith Cannon, I can't even appreciate the music anymore since everything just dies so fast.
After 300 hours I either get flight or ground music, battle music doesn't exist and even overdrive lasts a few seconds unless it's a GN.

>>376634458
Does that mean you can't buy them with tickets too? I genuinely don't know, but I think there's nothing stopping you.
Then again, if you're making lots of low tier augments you could very well get the stuff yourself. You don't need to be much higher than lvl 20 to kill auravis and progens.

And dude, if you're going out of your way to min-max so hard you're able to break the intended pacing of the game and powerlevel through the majority of it, of course you'd be looking this shit up on the internet.

You actually can't leave Primordia until after chapter 3 is complete.

You don't even get overdrive till like chapter 4 or 5, from what I recall. Yeah you can immediately explore but you're gonna get your shit kicked in a LOT more until you unlock overdrive.

That is true about the mechanics, but in terms of exploration you can literally go to Cauldros from that point if you so wish.
There was even a guy who tried to kill all the tyrants available before actually getting overdrive by acting as a support unit. He got to lvl 60 before overdrive even!
There's loads of stuff you can do, but of course there will be locked content.

>>376634780

>>376635470
I once used overdrive to beat oskar, the summer squall at like level 31. It took like 10 seconds too, mastermind is the best class before minmaxing meme builds like ether blossom.

On that note, what non-ether-blossom builds do you run for your character? I run an electric-themed psycholaunchers/javelin build. since I use maximum voltage, if I want damage I'll go into the battle with the shitty level 20 starter skell without any armor, that I have kindly rechristened S.S.

Do squad tasks and the the online squad missions. Not only do you get a shit ton of materials you're also rewarded with tickets and medals at times. Also, Telethia Plume is farmable at 20 or so.

>>376626904
They didn't want to create armour models/meshes for non-humanoids. As it is, all the playable characters can share the exact same armour designs, with the only difference being a male/female split.
If they added one or two Nopons to the roster they'd have to design a third appearance for every armour in the game, and it wouldn't be worth it. It was easier for them to just not add the less-human races to the party.

The problem with this game is the music in it sounds like licensed music instead of being actual music tailored to the game like in Xenoblade. They literally slapped Sawano's shitty radio station pop songs over cutscenes with shitty Linkin Park-esque battle music. All of the rock music sounds like music from commercial bands young teens love.

Fucking shite. Awful, awful shite. You'd probably like this music if you didn't really like music all that much, but for someone whose taste in music was built up and defined by non-video music, a large majority of the music in X is fucking tacky awful sell-out shite. Whoever likes the music needs better discernment.

The audio mixing was bad for cutscenes thanks to the localization, in the JP version the voice actors can be heard just fine over the music.
