SUBREDDIT Clarification on Subreddit Spoiler Flairs Spoiler

58 Upvotes

As we approach the imminent release of the Definitive Edition, I'd like to just quickly clarify how we expect you to use the spoiler flairs going forwards.

There are three to choose from:

  • General Spoilers:
    • This is just a general spoiler indicator that there may be lighter potential spoilers of any type that occur before Chapter 12.
    • Typically this would include things like story chapter boss names and certain twists/plot points.
    • It is expected that you mark spoilers with the story chapter that they are up to (e.g. if you are discussing something from Chapter 7, you would mention this in the post title or body).
  • Story Spoilers:
    • This is for spoilers up to and including Chapter 12, primarily for more heavy story spoilers or plot points.
    • Submissions should specify the story chapter that the post is discussing in the title.
    • By entering a post with this flair, you are open to discussing any content from the complete Wii U game.
  • [Definitive Edition] Afterstory Spoilers:
    • This is for ANY new Afterstory content (i.e. anything that occurs in any new main story chapters that appear after anything from the original Wii U release) on its own or in relation to the previous story chapters.
    • You MUST NOT spoil anything in post titles
    • By entering a post marked with this flair, you are opening yourself up to being exposed to unmarked spoilers of ANY kind from any point within the game.
    • Ideally you could further consider marking spoilers within reply comments, but this is not required.

Please feel free to share your thoughts/opinions on improving the definitions or further clarifications. I trust you all to use common sense and courtesy when discussing anything new.

I reviewed XCX DE after 180 hours and 100% completion. AMA! Spoiler

602 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m Gene Park of the Washington Post, and I gave Xenoblade Chronicles X a perfect score after playing it for 180 hours with 100 percent Mira survey completion. Here is my review: https://wapo.st/3Y19qPx

I’m here to answer any questions about the whole game! I’m going to be careful about story spoilers after Chapter 12, but I can give my deeper impressions about it beyond what I say in my review.

I’d appreciate anyone who clicks on my review above! It should be a gift link so no paywall required. If you do hit a wall, I apologize in advance. Should you decide to make the leap and subscribe or just put in an email, you have my huge thanks in advance.

I’m probably going to be answering for about an hour, but I’ll come back later for anyone who missed the window for sure. Thanks all!

Edit: I’m gonna be logging off for a few hours but I’ll check back in for more questions! It’s 11 a.m. ET now. Thanks to the mods for allowing this!

Recently remembered about this and decided to check again, and the last two Tyrants have fallen. Go-rha sits at 52020 Player Wins and 51926 Player Losses, really close, but defeated, while Nardacyon now sits at 40560 Player Wins and 38560 Player Losses. Ladies and Gentlemen it’s been an honor.

Discussion General tips?

19 Upvotes

So, I've tried playing this game many times before, but I could never stick with it, unlike the other three games. But after playing path of exile, library of ruina, and other games with more complicated systems, I finally managed to start actually having fun with x. Especially after figuring out a bit about augments and how breaking parts of enemies give different loot. Is there any general tips you can give? I'm around level thirty but haven't done chapter 5 yet because I went into a fugue after realizing I had enough melee attack to obliterate level 40 enemies.

Advice I feel underpowered when not in my skell. Advice?

13 Upvotes

I just finished chapter 10. Despite being overleveled, i feel incredibly weak when on foot. I've seen people online saying they put out more damage on foot than in their skell, but for me it feels like I can't go toe to toe with large creatures without one. Like for example I tried doing the Boze's Ignorance quest and I couldnt defeat the enemy without hiding behind a wall and cheesing it, because it would wipe me about 10 seconds into the fight despite me being 15 levels higher than it. On various walkthroughs I was told it should be relatively easy. Am I doing something wrong? I use snipers and longswords (I saw a youtube video saying they're both really OP), my party is typically Elma, Irina, and Lin, and I use primarily damage dealing attacks. I make sure to max all my abilities out, and for weapons and armor I just buy the most expensive stuff and equip that.

Advice New player - help with main character build

4 Upvotes

I've been really enjoying my journey through Xenoblade universe so far. I'm about to start this game straight after finishing XC1 and XC2 (while waiting for XC3's Switch 2 edition).

In XC1 and XC2 I played on easy as my enjoynment is mostly from the exploration and story aspects and I had a great time. In this game there is no difficulty settings so I'm looking for a viable build for the main character that will help me enjoy the exploration and story without worrying about optimal choices.

So far I stumbled upon this build: https://game8.co/games/Xenoblade-Chronicles-X/archives/515668

Would you recommend it? If not do you have any other builds recommendations or any general advice? It doesn't have to be anything top tier. Just something comfortable to clear the story and side missions. I dont plan on fighting extra post-game bosses.

Thanks!

Discussion Just finished XCX:DE Spoiler

41 Upvotes

I think this might be my favorite Xenoblade game, even more than XC2. The exploration aspect was so good, I had so much fun flying about in my skell completing the frontier nav and every segment on the map.

Loved the regions too, especially sylvalum and oblivia, they had a mystique to them that made going through them really fun.

The best aspect though has to be the side quests and NLA. The fact that seemingly innocuous dialogue choices can control life and death. This game humanized and had character development for the npcs in a way I feel the mainline trilogy does not with the quests. There were so many quest lines that I got emotionally invested in like kunluarb and the water, the water purification plant, the nopon brothers who joined blade

The character cast was ok. Tbh this is where I feel the game was at it's weakest, I would say only 4-5 of the people you can have in your party really appealed to me. Especially after doing all the affinity missions, I'd say Yelv, H.B, Alexa, and Mia were probably the ones who I was truly fond of.

Story was alright, nothing exceptional but I still enjoyed playing through it. Interestingly late game I did grow to dislike some characters that I liked before. Namely elma, nagi, and especially Eleonora.

Lastly, the soundtrack and music was excellent imo. Really liked the songs that play during tyrant fights and when flying the skell. Whatever themes play in sylvalum and the manon ship were bangers too.

My only regret is Carl. I should have killed those baby suids. Won't spare them in the future. Overall, loved it, really glad I decided to buy it when getting my switch 2.

Saw this piece of gear while browsing resistance reducer. This is uniquely the best resistance reducer helmet in the game, a trait that normally only appears on leg pieces.

Its better than the craftable true comm due to it having potential up instead of potential boost and having the traits start at 15 instead of 10, despite having 7 fewer upgrades.

Only issue is that i can't find any info on where to obtain it.

I've been working on an updated Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition 100% Completion Spreadsheet, covering quests, exploration, enemies, Tyrants, collectibles, holofigures, schematics, Skells, achievements, online content and more.

The file is view-only, so if you want to use it, just make your own copy and edit it however you like.

Huge credit to u/Vapor0907, whose original Wii U Ultimate 100% Guide served as the main foundation for this project. I've reorganized, expanded and updated it for Definitive Edition, but a large part of the original structure and data comes from their incredible work:
https://www.reddit.com/r/XenobladeChroniclesX/comments/104yfgw/the_ultimate_100_guide/

Hopefully this helps anyone else crazy enough to go for a true 100% of Mira. Any corrections or missing DE content are welcome!

Advice Early help

7 Upvotes

So im still pretty early finished chapter 3 I think, Im mostly exploring atm and trying to rank up classes.

Level 20 using dual sword and dual guns since I started and its just seems like im trying to beat everything with a wet paper bag. Maybe its supposed to be this way but ive mostly just grabbed everything with melee attack up and crafted the level 20 dual swords. The backstab attack still seems to be the only move that does any kind or decent damage.

Any advice for increasing damage or survival. Still confused on some stats like potential if it's worth increasing. If I should be focusing all into melee attack up or branch into like insectoid or theroid damage up

Discussion Upgrade Pack Fixed Yet?

Hello everyone, I haven’t really started up to date on this game since the Switch 2 upgrade pack came out. I remember EVERYONE saying that using handheld boost mode was better than the upgrade pack because it want to quality.

I tried looking around to see if it got fixed, but haven’t found anything about it. Does anyone know if there was an update or anything? I bought it, saw the reports, then deleted it off my console to use boost mode instead. So naturally I’m unaware of any updates have come through.
