Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Play Journal Entries Stagger Lanayru79 11/21/2015 5:11 PM While I'll continue to put in work on LoZ mini-games (see previous Play Journal entry) and drop whatever I'm playing to join a Totem w/ friends, an any% playthrough of my favorite RPG ever will fill my time between now and the first week of December. I have no experience skipping XC Quests, Landmarks and UMs. The goal here is to finish at the lowest level I can. I'll update at major battles, with E Yeah! e 23 r 101 D Advertisement Share this Post 1 Tweet 2 Share Embed Comment AlienSquid 11/21/2015 5:17 PM I'm at the marsh on my first ever playthrough on wii. Loving it so far I don't think I'll make it through before Christmas tho E Yeah! e 1 Stagger 11/21/2015 5:19 PM exponentially less detail than I did during my 100% playthrough last spring. If you're on the edge of your seat for my thoughts on the minutiae of story and gameplay, both the best in the genre I've encountered, those are the posts to look back on. I know the public hungers for my gibberish. :p I'll be marking spoilers from beyond Xord in the comments here. Wish me luck! E Yeah♥ e 1 D Meagan 11/21/2015 5:32 PM I'll be looking forward to your progress. Xenoblade is one of my favorites! E Yeah! e 3 D Justin86 11/21/2015 5:46 PM Getting warmed up for Xenoblade Chronicles X? From what I've seen of gameplay footage, the world in that game may be about as vast as the one in this game, if not larger. E Yeah! e 3 D Stagger 11/21/2015 6:02 PM It's a magical experience Chris! The Wii version is preferable imo, not that this one isn't exquisite. Thanks for the follow! @Meagan: I appreciate the support! My longwinded work about this yarn was after release in the spring up through early summer. It's going to as hard not commenting on the tale (this sweeping introduction!) as it will be restraining my urge to explore this world fully a ... E Yeah! e 2 D YahnYahner 11/21/2015 6:03 PM should i get xenoblade E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 11/21/2015 6:14 PM third time. Ignoring Collectibles and Quests is already killing me. :p I'm only really commenting right now not to be rude to you kind folks. @Justin: XCX's world dwarfs this one by all accounts. :o @Johnny: If you like RPGs, especially if you're into them but have grown weary of turn-based combat w/ random encounters, and are prepared to give up at least 150 hours to do it right, XC is a must. E Yeah♥ e 1 D Nintendoer 11/21/2015 6:48 PM Notifications! I'm afraid I won't be playing this before XCX's release. I just don't have enough time, even for an any% run. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 11/21/2015 10:00 PM ·Spoilers Understandable comrade. Welcome aboard! I'm pretty sure I'll have the time, and this should be an exciting challenge for me. After the welcome interruption of our TFH session tonight, I had to eat, and won't get back to the innocuous errand in Tephra Cave until the morning. Unavoidable combat and actually opening chests awaits! E Yeah! e 2 D Frog 11/22/2015 9:21 AM How do you raise affinity between party members? E Yeah! e 1 D Meagan 11/22/2015 10:34 AM Level 99 clear data. That's impressive! E Yeah! e 1 D Stagger 11/22/2015 5:21 PM I answered elsewhere br'er Frog. @Meagan: Thanks. It's certainly an investment of time. The impressive stuff is the completed Achievements list, all Level X Arts, and the max single playthrough Affinity Coins. This is humbling. I only had to fight one Iron Bunniv to reach this point, so w/ zero gear upgrades at Level 6 across the crew, we're getting trounced here. I'm close but it's rough! E Yeah! e 2 D Stagger 11/22/2015 5:32 PM Ha! Got there on that attempt, thanks mainly to a four link chain that came with an Achievement and a mid-battle level-up. :p I'll have to be much sharper for the ensuing rumble with this starter equipment ... no Fiora, your brother didn't remotely destroy them all a year ago. Oh the twisted metal to come ... E Yeah! e 0 D AlienSquid 11/22/2015 5:34 PM I'm inside the bionis right now on my playthrough and I'd also like to know how to raise affinity between characters. But instead of wasting your time that you need to spend working your way through the game I'll just look it up myself. E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 11/22/2015 5:39 PM Ah Chris, tap on that young Frog gentleman and see his first post from XC3d from 3 days ago for my answers. Alternatively, Nintendoer had an exceptionally thorough set of tips for players new to the game that he posted back after release. It was an awesome project! My Unique Monster index posts were my pride and joy then. (as for the LttP glitch, I abstain, but love comes in many forms right? :p) E Yeah! e 2 D Frog 11/22/2015 5:57 PM I've...kind of...buried that post... E Yeah! e 1 D Nintendoer 11/22/2015 6:07 PM 120 tips total, in fact. And for those interested in them, here's a link to the index post, so you can jump to any tip you may want to see from there. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHj_vnH1wA You're already feeling the effects of being at a lower level it would seem. Keep it up! E Yeah! e 2 D Stagger 11/22/2015 6:24 PM Oh Frog, it's not that big of a scroll to get to your post in question ... @'doer: Yes! I'm way out of my depth and loving it. It took me a good twenty minutes to beat them, ha! Things are different now though. A level 20 left-hand sword wielding Dunban and a Monado give me some hope approaching this incredible bout w/ Metal Face. The opening to this game is basically perfect. E Yeah! e 1 D AlienSquid 11/22/2015 6:30 PM it was an easy post to find since its your favorite post. thanks for the info! E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 11/22/2015 6:33 PM Aw Frog, whether a kind gesture or just love of the game, either way I salute you. Most welcome Chris ... Psychotic antagonist? Check. Bonding and bravado? Check. Grand entrances? Must run in the family Fiora, because yours almost matcges Dunban's. Big check. Then there motivation to fight ... no problem there. Metal Face has a couple levels on my youngsters, but I've got full faith in my skills E Yeah♥ e 1 D Stagger 11/22/2015 6:37 PM to get this done w/out incident. Some better gear might be in order for starting the journey ahead following this dramatic moment. *there's* motivation, pardon ... I still get pretty emotional during this moment. I'll probably have to take a break afterwards. The soundtrack, the voice acting - storytelling on this level is so rare. Loss, vengeance, mystery, all effortlessly woven together ... E Yeah! e 1 D Stagger 11/22/2015 6:58 PM That was the walk in the park I remembered it to be (one chain attack capped by a double damage Steel Strike from Dunban), but I'm betting it's the last easy thing I'll get to do. I'm just dipping my toe in this weekend, and will get pretty serious about making progress throughout the week. Back to Hyrule I go ... E Yeah♥ e 1 D AlienSquid 11/22/2015 7:06 PM I wish I had more time to play xenoblade before Christmas when Ivan play X. For some reason I didn't like the game when I first played it two years ago. I started over and realized I didn't give it a fair chance. Love love love this game to death right now! E Yeah! e 1 AlienSquid 11/22/2015 7:07 PM I can* not Ivan E Yeah! e 0 Frog 11/22/2015 7:23 PM Actually, I made that post my favorite so my profile would show the title screen of the game I'm currently playing. However, in the Friends section of my 3DS, I did change my favorite title from SSB to XC. The music in this game is amazing. • Title Theme • You Will Know Our Names • Gaur Plain (both day & night) • Mechanical Rhythm (I heard it in the SSB) • other songs I can't remember the names of E Yeah! e 0 D Frog 11/22/2015 7:29 PM Even before I considered playing XC, "You Will Know Our Names" was the go-to hype song in SSB for my friends and I, although the reason for choosing that song was because one of my friends chose Shulk as his main. The reason for him choosing Shulk is another story entirely unrelated to XC.
