HELLO, IS THIS THING ON?

>>382792580
i know /v/ hates handholding but damn did this game need more and better tutorials. There's a difference between not spelling everything out for the player and not bothering to even explain what systems exist in your game much less their basic functionality.

It was legitimately a good game, but theres are reasons why it never got popular, and its impenetrability is likely the most important

>1. is there a way to increase tp?
There's augments you can equip to increase your TP gain, you can also use Irina to provide the Party with TP
>2. i've done so but no input appears, i even took my weapon away but still nothing
You have to be in battle mode, are you sure you were standing close enough and had 3000 TP?

>>382796018
right on top and was fighting that scarab thing for a mission in the desert, also i think i remember an arm that said i think "tp +700" is that it?

>>382796202
That's just your weapon's basic TP gain I think, you'll gain TP every time you do auto attacks. You can increase how much you gain by adding TP gain augments

>>382796476
arm as in a sleeve, not a weapon

>>382797174
Oh, sorry. Some clothes and weapons will have built-in augments, that's probably what you saw

What really annoys me is there is no option for this helmet and suit for females in this color.

There is for men, but when you put it on a female, it turns light gray with a pink visor.

>>382797397
so if i equip it i would have 3700 then?

>>382797652
If its a "increase max TP" augment then yeah, if its a TP gain augment then it increases the amount you get from auto attacks by 700

>have more HP than my current Skell.

Do HP tank builds exists? Well I'm making one now.

>>382799449
you should play every class to max anyways for their skills and passives. You never know when you'll wanna try another build, only to find you have to level up through the path first.

FMJ is fun as fuck, especially if you want to be a ghost factory machine and not depend on Elma providing it. Plus her range AI is wonky.

>Want to love this game
>Need to look something up in the manual

Everytime

Is there a "for dummies" on XBCX I can look up? Its a fucking overwhelming game.

>>382799449
I main them. Shit's great for melee builds.
So much so that you should probably use your ranged weapon for support.

>>382800220

>mfw I can't understand how to make builds of anything in this game

I mean alt least I got through the game, but Post game stuff scares the shit out of me.

>>382799997
The only use it comes to mind is wif you combine that with some sort of heavy healing to survive any sort of 1hko.

Is that already with HP boosting skills?

>>382799823
Ygg Zero shows up every 3 weeks when the little wheel at the start of the game when you go to select a squad is filled. (Ygg should be back in a day or two.) Telly appears every Monday and Friday.

Recently a hacker has been killing Telly when it shows up so that's why it feels like global nemesis hasn't appeared. Also Nintendo is going to do fuck all about the hacker so all people can do is wait until he gets bored and leaves.

>>382800410

The torso and right arm ones have them built in. Everything else is HP up or HP Boost. This is including skills and the Bastion Warrior class.

>>382800220
I was looking up some builds for it and it looks like dual guns or psycho launchers work really well for support so I might try that

If you want your AI squadmates to be able to consistently use TP Arts, invest in Ranged: TP Gain Up and Magazine Capacity Up augments. Ranged: TP Gain Up earns 20 TP for every attack, and every bullet is considered an attack. So single magazine can net around 2000-3000 TP if you stack things right.

>>382800809
My concern is that you could still be one shot by some tyrants or not be able to heal fast enough because you'll probably lack atribute resist augments having to equip HP boosting ones.

What weapons do you use?
I'm thinking geolibrium + overclock + some HP recovering augment could heal a fuck load of HP in a short time, but it would be a slow death aganist tyrants with lots of disable.

>>382801120
Dual Guns always seemed more of an ofensive weapon to me. But maybe you could make it work.

I use an assault rifle with TP gain and for Power Dive. I was shocked about how useful that skill when trying to kill tyrants on foot, but I'll admit there's probably better options out there.

>>382801842

My build is usually an evasion one. I'm actually just trying an HP build for kicks.

I actually use the regular Astral Crusader build of Javelins and Snipers, with my main source of healing being Speed Demon because I tend to dash a lot or use Raijin.

>>382793989

it's the term for people who stop to stare at an accident or something

aka the fucking twats who cause 90% of the traffic as a result of car crashes on motorways

>>382802363
You should put that build to test.
If you can beat Luciel on foot with it I'd say it's a success.

Now, what I really would like to see is putting some spike damage in there. Spike is something I always ignored completely in this game.

>>382803212

I tried. My evasion build is fine because it's difficult to topple-lock me. I even made a video of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhRPp46fMpc

But the HP build is not built for Luciel. It will topple-lock me until I fall and I can't do shit about it. Yes I'll survive 4-5 attacks, but I cannot retaliate in return.

>>382802147
Dual Guns are loved solely because of Ghostwalker

>>382803985
That's why it would be a great "proof-of-concept" to be able to defeat him.

It seems to me that an HP build like that would rely on outlasting the enemy, so a passive recovery ability like geolibrium would be ideal aganist enemies with stun lock.

That's the nice thing about milesaur tyrants. With as many elements they atack you with and a relatively high atk value, they really put your defensive capabilities to the test.

>>382805592
Oh yeah forgot about that.
Decoy is so boring I preffer to avoid using it.

What augments should I craft for the post-game tyrants?

>>382806363
Oh boy it depends SO much on the tyrant, not to even mention your intended build, or if you're fighting on skell or on foot.

Anything more specific?

>>382807201
I'm going to use Lailah I guess, is there general stuff I should make or do I have to make new stuff for each boss?

Why is it that this game gives you no incentive to craft augments before the endgame? Taking the time to grind the materials for suboptimal upgrades just isn't worthwhile. I found myself constantly creating new gems in XC (even though a lot of the attributes they gave were completely useless, thank god X did away with most of the crap ones), and it was probably because crystals were abundant, both as monster drops and within the mining spots you could extract them from.

>>382807359
I think people generally stack bonus damage on the type of enemy the tyrant is and/or defense boosts against the type of elements it uses. Also boosts for the type of damage you do. For example, Lailah is only really built as either pure thermal or pure beam.

>>382805841

Might just try testing the HP build on Fernando or Gradivus.

>>382808054
Also, some Skells like evasion boosts or need protections against certain status to keep from being stunned to death. Lailah is a special case in that she's a tank. Doesn't give a shit about evasion, and while in overdrive is immune to all status conditions and constantly heals a % of her health. As a result, most of the build revolves around boosting her low damage to make fights faster, because she's basically invincible with very little work.

>>382808054
>>382808673
So could make a bunch of element reflect or resist augs and some TP gain augs and just try to tank every hit and outlast the enemy with chip damage?

>>382807359
I'm not much of a skell person, but from what I understand you'll be needing ways never exiting overdrive.

I'm not sure how much GP Lailah has, but if it's not at least 6000 you'll probably want to augment that in your ground gear.

I was recently thinking about how to gain GP with an Ares, but I guess it would be easier with the other skells.
Melee and rangedGP gain augs seem worthless, but maybe just maybe you could make the ranged one work with some weapons.
But I'd guess the best way would be with arts: gain GP augs.
I have no idea if extend overdrive augs are worthy.
These are pretty much just guesses though. I'm not well versed in this subject.

Other than that, as a general rule you'll always want to counter any critical disables a tyrant might have, like Yggdralith and topple or their main atack elements, like Telethia with ether.

>>382809023
How do you figure out what elements they use, do you just have to die against them once?

Miiverse functions, adds to the immersion of playing in a squad or a mistake?

>>382808956
Basically yeah. I think 2-3 max resist augs will reduce damage of an element to like 1 on a level 60 skell. No need for TP gain augs though. Look up how to get a sidearm called Diskbomb. Farm it until it comes with the trait boosting magazine capacity, then upgrade that fully on it. Now you've got something that hits 33 times per attack, and will max TP in like 5 shots. Lailah also comes with 6000 TP by default, meaning once she's in overdrive it's essentially infinite.

>>382810102
I've tried to farm for a diskbomb before and never got one with that trait even with treasure sensor gear

>>382809950
Miiverse was honestly great and I'm insanely disappointed the Switch ditched it

>>382809142
The major tyrants have that info online.
But every enemy in the game show the symbol of the element and the name of the atack as they use it. You just need to pay attention above their heads or above the appendage you're locked to if the enemy is too big.

Sure, it would require you to pay attention and take some hits to figure this shit out, but the major tyrants have that info online, as I said.

>>382810259
It can take an hour or two of farming, but it's absolutely worth it. Also be sure to run with 100% treasure sensor. Lailah is probably the fastest skell to reach broken levels since that's all she really needs, but she's probably not the most broken setup ever overall. Also helps that you only need one diskbomb with magazine capacity for your left hand. A bug makes it apply to the right-hand as well. Ideally the right hand would be one without magazine capacity but with full attack speed augs because then it benefits fully from the left-hand's magazine without incurring the damage penalty that comes from the extended magazine.

>>382810259
Farm harder

>>382809742
10000/10

>>382811483
but it takes hours. It really jarring that you never have to do this in the main game and then the post-game is nothing but that

>When XBX came to CEMU
You mean over a fucking year ago.

>>382817515
It's not that it would be unplayable, it would take a second to load the details and then it would be saved to your cache file.

That's at least how old CEMU worked, it generated a cache file when you came onto something and saved it to load later if you came back to it. Having the cahce already loaded prevents pop-ins in new areas and allows for a very smooth gameplay experience.

>>382817606
And it invalidates "doesn't know that in order for games to be playable on CEMU someone has to play the entire game in entirety".

>>382817710

How much space will this game take if I get a physical copy? After updates ofcourse

I would pirate it but not enough space

>>382819949
there's 10 GB of data packs that you need to download for the game to not run like garbage

never don't waste time with a port, give us a sequel

Any chance Takahashi writes anything like Xenogears/saga again, or are those days long gone?

X is actually a pretty good game, it's one of the few games that did exploration right. After 130 hours I can still go around Mira and discover new places. XBC is a better game than X on everything that isn't gameplay/ exploration but still I liked it quite a bit. I really dig the mechanical design of the Smells.

He could but there's two things stopping him from going all out

1. CERO
2. He has a habit of not finishing games

>>382820235
Well, considering that the first Xenoblade reused several plot points relating to Gnosticism that were also used in Gears, and X has a lot of similarities to what we know about Part 1 of Perfect Works, I'd say yes.

Anyone have that list of enemies and what they drop and where to farm them?

I'm playing it right now, just opened up chapter 7. I'm being stupidly thorough however, doing every single optional thing including all basic missions. Even though they're brainless and boring, I just find playing the game to be really comfy so I don't mind.
