Xenoblade Chronicles X Play Journal Entries Matthew mstrickland1 12/14/2015 10:37 AM Instead of continuing to make disjointed posts about this game, I'm going to make a log. Comment to follow my progress. E Yeah! e 4 r 100 D Advertisement Share this Post 1 Tweet 2 Share Embed Comment Matthew 12/14/2015 10:40 AM Here's my progress in Primordia thus far. I have three probes left, however, I am of the belief that they are inaccessible to me after a very long session of trying to get to them. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 12/14/2015 11:06 AM Yes, notify me of your exploration feats. What's your survey rate looking like? E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/14/2015 11:12 AM Last time I checked it was around 28%. What exactly does the survey rate measure? How much I have explored and how many field treasures I've found, or does it count quests as well? I'm asking because the regions of NLA have survey ratings as well, but if it was the former NLA should be 100%. E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 12/14/2015 11:17 AM It's basically how "complete" a region is. The icons on the map tell you what you need to do to "complete" that segment of the map. Things like finding a specific treasure, defeating a Tyrant, doing a mission, etc. E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/14/2015 11:19 AM I see. One more thing, if I accept a quest on the BLADE concourse that takes me to Primordia, when I complete it does it help my Administrative District survey rating, my Primordia rating, or both? E Yeah! e 0 D Nintendoer 12/14/2015 11:24 AM Basic missions (from the mission terminal) don't help out your survey rate. Most of the time, normal missions will, though. And sometimes they'll help with two different regions as you described. E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/14/2015 11:29 AM Ah, so if I want to raise my survey rating the mission board won't be any help. Thanks for the help! E Yeah! e 0 D Rau 12/14/2015 11:44 AM Never. E Yeah! e 0 Sciz 12/14/2015 11:47 AM Won't be of any help isn't exactly the way I'd put it. Missions there sometimes must be taken in order to take a different mission that will fill the survey rate. E Yeah! e 1 D Matthew 12/14/2015 11:50 AM @Rau Have I ever mentioned how complex and fun this game's combat is? E Yeah! e 0 D Sciz 12/14/2015 11:54 AM @Rau Also, you can spend the game being a complete jerk or troll to everyone you meet, if you so wish. E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/14/2015 11:55 AM I've played the game being fairly nice, so far the only one I've been as jerkish as I could to was Mr. HB, my "rival" or whatever term would make him feel more secure. E Yeah! e 0 D Sciz 12/14/2015 12:01 PM One of the options once was "Snicker, then snicker again only louder," and I had to pick it. E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/14/2015 12:05 PM I can't wait to play whatever quest that appears in. E Yeah! e 0 D Rau 12/14/2015 12:37 PM Are you.. are you calling me a jerk?! I'm hurt. Wounded, even. E Yeah! e 0 Matthew 12/14/2015 1:23 PM I din't know about Sciz, but I was demonstrating how you can act however you want to act. The game doesn't limit you. You're actually a pretty nice person. E Yeah! e 0 D Sciz 12/14/2015 2:20 PM I was referencing your tendency to... be blunt. E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/14/2015 3:18 PM ·Spoilers I can't believe this. I just went into the chapter 4 fight, and when the boss was only halfway down all my team was dead besides me. However, my character finished the boss and then took out the other dudes single handedly. E Yeah! e 1 D T3R3Z1 12/15/2015 10:36 AM Wheeeee notifs. :] E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/16/2015 2:37 PM I was too entertained to remember to post something, but I love the Tatsu affinity mission. My favorite part is making a hungry face at Mamapon. E Yeah! e 1 D T3R3Z1 12/16/2015 8:25 PM I thought Tatsu was annoying at first, but I've really grown to love him. I need to find out who his voice actor is... XD E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/16/2015 8:56 PM Chris Cason. A.K.A. Face McShooty from Borderlands. :P E Yeah! e 1 D T3R3Z1 12/16/2015 9:48 PM I honestly love the cast they picked for this game, especially after I found out that Kira Buckland provided the voice I chose for my avatar. I freakin' love her. XD E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/16/2015 10:33 PM Adam Howden FTW. Seriously, look up Face McShooty. E Yeah! e 1 D Matthew 12/17/2015 9:43 AM ·Spoilers That was not what I expected to see. xD E Yeah! e 2 D T3R3Z1 12/17/2015 10:40 AM Believe in the potato that believes in you! :D E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/17/2015 10:52 AM I think affinity missions are my favorite part of the game, some are so charming like the above one with Rik- uh, I mean, the heropon daddypon's son, while others get very deep. E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/18/2015 8:24 PM Irina just asked Elma if she wanted to go shopping when we get back and Elma said yes and that she heard some store was having a sale. All this at the end of an easy fight. I'm not used to being surrounded by so many women. E Yeah! e 0 D T3R3Z1 12/18/2015 9:04 PM Hey, at least they're strong and capable women instead of prissy drama queens. XD E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/19/2015 4:49 AM Me: I don't know why, but all of this just seems so... futile. Elma: What?!? Send this guy back to boot camp! @Eva I guess. I do prefer them to a damsel in distress type. E Yeah! e 0 D Matthew 12/19/2015 8:21 AM And she's standing right there you weirdo. Concentrate on your job. E Yeah! e 1 D PARDO 12/19/2015 10:43 AM ·Spoilers LEGAL E Yeah! e 0 T3R3Z1 12/19/2015 12:11 PM Yeah, keep that to yourself, buddy. It's weird when you do that. XD @VINI wat E Yeah! e 1 D T3R3Z1 12/20/2015 2:02 AM Xenoblade Chronicles X, the newest platformer from MonolithSoft. E Yeah! e 2 D Rau 02/01/2016 6:11 PM Oi, u cheeky beggar. U no I luv u 5ever butt this miiple universe is get very un-fun. Do sumthing aboot it. E Yeah! e 0 Matthew 02/01/2016 6:41 PM Um, what? XD E Yeah! e 0 D Rau 02/01/2016 7:16 PM Swer on me mum, don maek me says it too times. E Yeah! e 0 T3R3Z1 02/01/2016 7:21 PM Lol I'm confused as to why I'm here. Hello again, Rau. You have good taste in anime, congratulations. Also, don't think I've forgotten about that butter chicken. Because I haven't. E Yeah! e 1 D Rau 02/01/2016 7:50 PM Ah, Evalyn. I made a mistake last week, you see, turns out that my cooking day is next monday. So, my beautiful orange butter chicken with basmatti and Naan will have to wait. You know what I love to do? Rice + butter chicken + naan + wrap that babe up like a naan burrito = happy monday. E Yeah! e 0 Rau 02/01/2016 7:53 PM I was going to ask you about it in your post, but I didn't feel like barging in like a maniac. Which I totally didn't do here.. Hmm. Matt can tolerate it. We may discuss it if you'd like. I don't want Matthew spoiled though. I have big plans for him. E Yeah! e 1 Rau 02/01/2016 8:02 PM You can't be finished already, can you? I'm overly glad you're enjoying it. I must say, it feels good to know that someone else knows about it, and can appreciate it. As I often jest with Matt, you may send me on whatever merry chase you want.A game, a show, a book, a film, you name it. Or not. I, as always, am interested about things that "matter" to people. Unless it's skyward sword. matt, <3 E Yeah! e 0 T3R3Z1 02/01/2016 8:13 PM Please, please, come hang out on one of my posts anytime. I didn't want to dirty your only post with my comment trash. XD I'm only a couple episodes in, but I love what I've seen so far.
