[Xenoblade Chronicles] The Incredible Shulk MARK YOUR GODDAMN SPOILERS
Posts
well I've never not liked a nintendo handheld, and I don't regret buying the 3ds, the library is starting to pick up
and I'm excited about the wii-u because it will have modern graphics and an actual controller, so it'll be more likely to have games I'm interested in from third parties, and I like the potential of the extra screen
so yeah
Just use whoever you like.
I like the combat, and the visuals are great
I will give you the controls though
the game should be labeled "free arthritis with every purchase"
In between making that post and this one I have
SERIOUS SPOILERS FOR LATE IN THE GAME
So don't tell me how much further I have to go (because I want it to be a surprise) but I imagine I am fairly far.
Plus with boss fights you don't have to worry about cutscenes repeating, which is aces.
I'm in the first cave, and I stop to open a few treasure chests and then suddenly some unusual battle music starts and I'm attacked by a lizard who kills me in a few hits. I didn't even have time to turn around.
IT'S THE FIRST CAVE.
I've died three times in this cave so far.
Chain attacks involve maxing out the blue gauge at the top (the party gauge) by using arts well. So attacking from behind with back slash, for example.
Once it's maxed out select your central talent art and hit up until the chain attack option comes up. Activate it and use a move that triggers break, then use Reyn's Wild Down to topple.
With building it up you need to ensure Reyn is getting aggro for attacks and you are using Light Heal to keep him healthy. Have you upgraded your team's arts yet?
The trick is to keep him dead.
There's one fight in that cave that killed me a few times until I learned to use the Taunt/Pull enemy option instead of start battle to pull all the normals away from the mini boss one by one so that when I took the main guy on I didn't end up bringing a bunch of smaller guys into the fight as well.
It's also pretty easy to get sidetracked crippled by quests. I think I'm close to the next location, but I want to turn around and complete some quests that I accepted. As soon as I complete a quest, I accept two or three more.
When I got back it turns out my rechargeable battery packs no longer work : /
Anyone got a recommendation for replacements?

crap
It's on!
now it is suddenly changed to shipping
nintendo don't play with my heartstrings
haha, i put on the english voices because i wasnt sure if the audible cues would help with chain attacks and i was generally curious if i was missing anything interesting ambient chatter between party members.
now i dont want to turn it off because this game sounds like harry potter the final fantasy years
SUPER LATE GAME SPOILERS
The only thing that gets to me a little is how dumb the dialogue can be at points, and when they insist on flashing back to one moment three or four times within a couple of hours. I KNOW ALREADY
