These weaponised lifeforms are vital to the new game. The former are individuals with a special gift, able to connect to the blades, artificial forms of life confined within Core Crystals. The starting point for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the search for Elysium, with the drivers, the blades, and the Tree of Life standing as the main pillars of the plot. It's well-paced and, except for the odd miss (the fourth chapter which revolves around Tora, for example), it always tries to keep you on your toes by means of new characters who make things more complicated. Each episode shifts focus between the characters and their backgrounds, and the brilliant, dynamic cutscenes move the story forward during big events.

The narrative is split into chapters it starts strong and is full of twists and turns. The characters, in fact, grow and develop throughout, which feels nicely enriching. Yeah, you'll see regular clichés on screen (a bath sequence set in hot springs included), but it doesn't feel confined. The studio has decided to once again embrace the narrative style you'd find in any Shonen-like release with Rex, a stubborn youngster, who's joined by Pyra for an adventure that takes them through many amazing locations, where they meet an expansive roster of characters along the way. It's a fantasy tale that comes with a prominent Japanese style across all facets of its design and, of course, it's an experience of titanic proportions. returns once again with the signature style that has defined the series. After receiving universal acclaim with the series' last adventure on planet Mira, Monolith Soft. It's a journey, a new (capless) odyssey, and it's one that you simply shouldn't miss on your Nintendo Switch. Then I'll take it slow again.It's time to depart in search of Elysium. This time, I want to get back to where I was when the WiiU shat itself ASAP. I did exploring the slow way last time round. I want to farm the XP boosting augments so I can level faster.

Since it's free to add and remove augments from gear, doing this end game is painless if you've set it up early game.
TO save money just let them die in the weak gear with all the XP boosters in it.
Doesn't matter if they are dead for 99% of most battles, they still get XP. The second bonus is end game you can have 2-3 levelled characters and one low level in your party and add as many of your old XP booster XX augments to their gear. Might make levelling your classes a little slower but that doesn't matter, you'll have maxed out your entire branch (4 classes at 10 levels each) by the time you hit level 30 anyway, or before. The bonus of doing this early on is you level X way faster. Then later on when I've done the Booming Business quest and can add sockets to gear I'll do that to add even more P booster XX augments. I can scrounge up at least one socketed piece of gear. This time round I snagged that Field Node at level 15. The bottom right Field Node in Sylvallum has it. The Giant Jade Pearl is best bought with tickets as you need to be Lv50 to kill what stops it or have a skell. Just remember fast travelling respawns all collectables, monsters and changes the weather. The Golden jewels you can either farm from a few specific monsters around level 22, near FN318 or you can use tickets.
Other than that, I'm knocking on about 60 hours for the game. I don't really want to use the difficulty-decrease just for personal pride's sake. I'm thinking that I just need to hit the level grind for the first time, and get to level 50 so I can get my party some better decked-out skells. Had to take a few days off from the game too since I was kind of burned out. I was in battle for like 30 minutes before I realized it was futile and just gave up. I've gotten to where I can stay alive almost indefinitely due to buffs and healing, but my DPS just isn't enough to take it down once I get it below the 50% mark and I have trouble keeping more that myself and one other party member alive. I'm about level 46, but I just don't have the firepower to keep the second form down. Up to this point I've never had to take advantage of the difficulty decrease, but I'm definitely considering it for this one.Ĭhapter 11's boss is killing me.
I've finally hit my first difficulty road-block in the game.
