The elevation indicators do make sense for X but i feel that the way X indicates position can kinda be lost in the midst of combat. The exclamation points of DE are definitly easier to read. Indeed. Though I think fitting the XCDE approach onto the neon-ish, dark and "dense" Arts icons, compared to the XC1 emptier and whiter Arts icons, would be a bit of challenge. The XCX Arts icons already emit glowing rings around them when you can respond to someone's Soul Voice Challenge.: Spoiler Elma trigger a Melee (Orange) Soul Voice Challenge, so you answer with a Melee (Orange) Art. How would one fit the positional color dot of XCDE here and make you notice it? The Secondary Cooldown green rims further interferes. And if you're interested in knowing what benefit the Soul Voice you're answering has, since their effects can vary even within a color, you have only small text to go on.: Spoiler It's that text to the right of the "Target: Enemies Ahead". Thats where the benefits of a Soul Challenge will be stated when one is active and you can use the selected Art to answer it. I wonder what UI reforms they'll enact next, not that I'm sure what reforms are needed. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: They even made Satorl during the day look not terrible Well, looking bad in day makes the night look even better. And, its Bionis's swampy crotch, how does one expect a swamp to look? Nobody ever says they'd want to retire in a swamp and enjoy the views outside. Swamps are for crocodiles and hiding bodies, not French Postimpressionists and American Hudson River School painters. This said, Uraya is sorta swampy, maybe, specifically in the stomach, and Uraya is better than Satorl in day, but not at night. 30 minutes ago, Armagon said: Clicking on "latest post" doesn't actually take me to the latest post on this thread.

That first and last one happens to me all the time. If I had to guess as to why this thread sometimes feels like it's the buggiest is because of the amount of longer posts it has. People post screenshots, share music, discuss things in multiple paragraphs of text, sometimes with spoiler tags. That's a lot of data to display and load. Now, I'm not pretending to know anything about programming, so take it with a grain of salt. 22 minutes ago, Armagon said: Oh that's right, i nearly forgot. @DragonFlames, now that you're in Ch.8, you can start working on getting Poppi's final form, Poppi QTpi. If you've already seen the Heart-to-Heart about Poppi in Leftheria, the quest Powered-up Poppi will be avaliable in Tora's house (i think you have to be reuinited with the other party members first tho). It will have some Field Skill annoyance though, be warned. Also Reveal hidden contents If you care enough, there are three sidequests in Indol. I bring this up because after a certain point in Ch.8, Indol won't be accessible forever and you won't be able to do those three specific sidequests. Don't worry about Indol's dev level, that gets transfered over to Leftheria. If you don't care about the sidequests, it's fine, the ones in Indol don't matter. I'm just bringing this up as an FYI. Thank you! I didn't know Poppi's final form was unlocked via sidequests. I figured it would be through story progression again, and I would have probably wondered why she was still only on her second form by the time I reached the final boss. Poppi: "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM-PON!!! ... seriously, it's not. Masterpon? Where's my Final Form-pon at?" Tora: "Uh, Playerpon was too dumby-dumb to get that questy-quest for it, so Tora couldn't get Poppi her Final Form-pon." Poppi: "WTF, Playerpon?!?" Poppi QTpi makes me laugh, though. "Cutie-pie". ... And I just now got that Poppi QT is "Poppi cutie". *cue collective facepalm at my slow-ass brain* I'll definitely check those quests out once I get everyone back. Speaking of quests When can I continue the quest for Praxis and the other Blade she was with (Theory, I think)? I got Praxis already, but the other one hasn't shown up again so far, and I haven't found any location where the quest might be. Hope I didn't miss out on it already, because I would like to get at least all of the guaranteed Rare Blades.

Only reason i knew about QTpi the first time was because i knew in advance.

In fact, the only missable quests are Spoiler the three quests on Indol, which don't matter Anyways, the reason Theory's Quest isn't showing up is because Praxis likely doesn't have Lv.4 Affinity yet. You can see where the majority of Blade quests begin from a Rare Blade's Affinity Chart. This applies to Blades' Heart-to-Hearts as well. As a general rule of thumb, if you don't know where a Blade quest or Blade Heart-to-Heart is, refer to their Affinity Chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Armagon said: Only reason i knew about QTpi the first time was because i knew in advance. It's odd that Poppi's final form can just be missed. That is indeed pretty odd.

Even if they don't offer rewards that may be available to get elsewhere. Which reminds me, I should probably go over my equipment again. I'm still using stuff I got sometime around Chapter 3 or 4...

Strullemia Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Huh, people really love Animal Crossing, don't they. My sister who isn't really a gamer and is a lot more of an outgoing extravert kind of person just now ordered Animal Crossing because a lot of her friends also play it and she wants in on the hype.

Armagon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 @Interdimensional Observer so over the past few days, i've gotten back into TMS. I've done every sidestory except Yashiro's final one. I also got to the Gharnef boss fight and Spoiler When Hatanaka showed up in front of everyone, it was basically this Also the Gharnef fight sucks, i hate it, i'm gonna go grind. _______________________________________ I have decided to get Trails of Cold Steel 3 on PC. Why? Because the Switch version comes out in June (also, why?) and i'm gonna be deep in XenoblaDE by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Okay, so, got reunited with the Mahabala sisters; and decided to head for the casino yet one more time. Pft, I feel the game is getting more and more vicious on me in there. Got an even longer losing streak than past times. One match even had my monster attacked six times in a row, since everyone else ganged up on it, while it did nothing but just Defend. Needless to say, didn't won that match. If it was going to get this way I should've just done it all back in Ch2, since thankfully the tokens do carry over, than in chunks. Ah well, I feel this was the last time... at least for a long time, if I feel like wanting to get other stuff from in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, I didn't run into an issues with his fight. I think I cleared him on the first try, going after the orb minions he summons is good here. I struggled much more with the prior chapter's boss. Yashiro's final sidestory unlocks the first time you leave the final dungeon, so it'll be soon. If you didn't notice, every character, except Eleonora for some reason, has one sidestory with a boss where you must field them. Since Yashiro didn't have a boss battle yet, you know what that means. The final boss isn't overly difficult I think, but I believe I did dispatch its minions, and make sure Itsuki has Wyrmicide. I do remember it can Session off itself, and it does pack Fire. Touma should have Debilitate, so have him apply every so often to debuff all the boss's stats at once. I'll rerun it tomorrow via an old save file and see if I can give any other tips for it. 2 hours ago, Armagon said: I have decided to get Trails of Cold Steel 3 on PC. Why?

Apparently, thats the same day a bunch of those newly announced Western gaming ports drop: XCOM 2, a trio of Bioshock games, and a trio of Borderlands games. You know what had a release date announcement come today that drops the day before XCDE and those big Western titles?: And look, WayForward even put out this image: Spoiler "How it feels to be a carpet under the feet of Manly American Gamers and Anime Weebs." I'm not that attached to Shantae, but this does not feel like an ideal release date.

Acacia Sgt Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Well, I was getting worried there for a moment. Leaving Endor I went to Ballymoral and back (mostly to add it to the Zoom list)... and still no enemies. Then I went back to the Cistern Chapel to get back stuff I didn't picked up with Torneko (from what I remember, this is a common tactic to get those items earlier in Chapter 5); and I finally got a random encounter just before entering the place. Like, man, it was that cave near Lakanaba all over again. The dungeon itself had a decent encounter rate. It seems the overworld in Chapter 5... has a very low one, since I made it back to Endor, then all the way to Casabranca almost enemy-free again. Well, stopping there for now.

I struggled much more with the prior chapter's boss. I think it's because i've been focusing on Gharnef himself. Which almost worked until the orbs blew up and killed everyone. I didn't have a problem with the previous chapter's boss though it got kinda stressful when it split into four near the end. 2 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: You know what had a release date announcement come today that drops the day before XCDE and those big Western titles?: Damn. And i've never played a Shantae before so i kinda wanted to jump into this one but if it's coming out right before XenoblaDE, then no chance.
