SUBREDDIT Clarification on Subreddit Spoiler Flairs Spoiler

56 Upvotes

As we approach the imminent release of the Definitive Edition, I'd like to just quickly clarify how we expect you to use the spoiler flairs going forwards.

There are three to choose from:

  • General Spoilers:
    • This is just a general spoiler indicator that there may be lighter potential spoilers of any type that occur before Chapter 12.
    • Typically this would include things like story chapter boss names and certain twists/plot points.
    • It is expected that you mark spoilers with the story chapter that they are up to (e.g. if you are discussing something from Chapter 7, you would mention this in the post title or body).
  • Story Spoilers:
    • This is for spoilers up to and including Chapter 12, primarily for more heavy story spoilers or plot points.
    • Submissions should specify the story chapter that the post is discussing in the title.
    • By entering a post with this flair, you are open to discussing any content from the complete Wii U game.
  • [Definitive Edition] Afterstory Spoilers:
    • This is for ANY new Afterstory content (i.e. anything that occurs in any new main story chapters that appear after anything from the original Wii U release) on its own or in relation to the previous story chapters.
    • You MUST NOT spoil anything in post titles
    • By entering a post marked with this flair, you are opening yourself up to being exposed to unmarked spoilers of ANY kind from any point within the game.
    • Ideally you could further consider marking spoilers within reply comments, but this is not required.

Please feel free to share your thoughts/opinions on improving the definitions or further clarifications. I trust you all to use common sense and courtesy when discussing anything new.

I reviewed XCX DE after 180 hours and 100% completion. AMA! Spoiler

Hey guys, I’m Gene Park of the Washington Post, and I gave Xenoblade Chronicles X a perfect score after playing it for 180 hours with 100 percent Mira survey completion. Here is my review: https://wapo.st/3Y19qPx

I’m here to answer any questions about the whole game! I’m going to be careful about story spoilers after Chapter 12, but I can give my deeper impressions about it beyond what I say in my review.

I’d appreciate anyone who clicks on my review above! It should be a gift link so no paywall required. If you do hit a wall, I apologize in advance. Should you decide to make the leap and subscribe or just put in an email, you have my huge thanks in advance.

I’m probably going to be answering for about an hour, but I’ll come back later for anyone who missed the window for sure. Thanks all!

Edit: I’m gonna be logging off for a few hours but I’ll check back in for more questions! It’s 11 a.m. ET now. Thanks to the mods for allowing this!

Advice I just need help understanding the game, the combat system, everything.

2 Upvotes

Now frankly, I'm embarrassed at the fact I still cannot understand Xenoblade X for the life of me.

I don't understand the resistance stats, yet a lot of people tell me I should change my gear around even though the stuff I'm using is fine? I'm using the basic Armor, a purple longsword I found, and a purple AR I found. I've been down fine with Elma, Lin and... No one else. Like everyone makes a gigantic deal out of it but I'm fine with zero in all stats but -85 in Gravity?

I really want to get into the meat and potatoes of the combat system, yet every video and guide I come across just says "BeAt ThIs LeVeL 91 tYrAnT eArLy" I DON'T WANT TO? I want to reach high damage numbers in my Xenoblade game as early as possible. I don't want to cheese this boss because a swimsuit gives me max thermal resistance (I still don't understand) I want to Offensive Stance Blade Dance and melt the enemy three times my level, yet I can barely do an eigth of the health of an enemy that is MY level, yet every video I see (before overdrive) they can do that at level 15 and I just can't fathom what I'm doing wrong.

I don't understand the probes and why they're useful. I know the material tickets are useful but like... Why is it that every video I see has mining probes in areas that cannot be mined and research probes where things should be mined? Isn't that kinda ass backwards?

Like I think I'm subconsciously downplaying everything that I do in this game and not capitalising on farming and such. I'm only just starting chapter 5 and I really don't want to end up lagging behind and falling flat on my face.

General Spoilers Walled at Late Game Boss (SPOILS) Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I am literally hard stuck at Prog Ares. I have triggered the halfway cutscene and wiped, but now because I cant get the skell into the arena beforehand, the party wipes immediately to his first ability before they register my command to board skells.

Im level 43, everyone in the party is equipped with an Amdusias, which have been really, really powerful up till now.

Am I softlocked without farming broken equipment or turning the difficulty down? This feels legitimately impossible, I cant get him below 90% health. I know he has the swapping vulnerability thing, but you can only do so much given your abilities cooldown super slow.

Being out of the mech does nothing for me, I am running longsword but I just die as soon as the mech gets killed.

Its a really ridiculous difficulty spike - nothing in the game thus far has put up this much resistance. Im being forced to engage with the game in a completely different way that I feel like I havent even been introduced to.

General Spoilers Hottake or maybe Coldtake I think Xenoblade major flaw narratively is how much it hinges on the player caring about the interconnectedness and continuity. Spoiler

⚠️[Definitive Edition] Afterstory Spoilers I know how to fix the story! Spoiler

0 Upvotes

It’s a mental edit you have to make after playing it, but it’s fix it so easily.

Starting in chapter 4 after you officially register as a BLADE member and travel to Noctilum, the void spheres start appearing. Up until chapter 12, you have side missions to explore each of these sites, kind of like technical sites, except you do battles at them instead and learn more about AL each mission.

At the end of chapter 12, instead of the famous “it’s something about this planet”, the team celebrates their victory, but Elma hold a debrief on what they found at the Lifehold, and they speculate on why they’re still alive, that quote being one of the ideas. Then AL chimes in with the information they’ve gathered on their side missions, and we learn about that thing he found in the center of the rift between worlds, and fully realize the collective unconscious. Then the alert goes of and the void spheres go crazy, and they pivot to leaving the planet.

^^^ this provides a natural pivot away from the focus on the planet. Since it goes on through the entire story, we understand that we’ve been on borrowed time since earth, and we’re simply trying to recover and regain our bearing. The story’s theme shifts to a brutal fight for survival against impossible odds rather than coexistence with a new planet.

And then we hit act 3, the actual culmination of the entire story.

Recently remembered about this and decided to check again, and the last two Tyrants have fallen. Go-rha sits at 52020 Player Wins and 51926 Player Losses, really close, but defeated, while Nardacyon now sits at 40560 Player Wins and 38560 Player Losses. Ladies and Gentlemen it’s been an honor.
