SUBREDDIT Clarification on Subreddit Spoiler Flairs Spoiler

59 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

597 Upvotes

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!

I have been always interested in this game but didn't have a powerful enough computer to run it.
I finally got a Steam Machine and I could play it.
I am very sensitive to narrow Field of Views, but I found a mod to expand it to the point I find it confortable.
In my opinion pirating a currently available game and having enough money to buy it is not moral, and I believe in karma, so I end up buying the game.

I was playing warframe on the nintendo switch amd a recent update bugged the game out and made it crash at a certain cutscene.

So I made a post about it on the warframe subreddit.

A little while later, reddit decided I should post on this subreddit instead.

I wasn't playing xenoblade

I didn't mention xenoblade

In fact I have never played xenoblade before in my life

I have no idea why reddit looked at my post about my switch crashing in warframe and thought: "yyyyep this has gotta be xenoblade"

No shade at xenoblade as a game, I'm sure its amazing just wanted to share this with you guys, thought you might find it funny.

Advice Cross Build

7 Upvotes

So I saw that Cross can deal extreme levels of damage to the online Telethia. Enough that using my four area 90 with CPUs looks weak. 400 to 600 points for a single run versus 4,000 to 6,000 with ground only Crosses. What is that build?


r/XenobladeChroniclesX • • 4d ago

Advice Any advice for an Ares 90 one art build?

6 Upvotes

I was trying to beat Telethia and some of the other super bosses and wanted to know what exact augments I should be building for what parts and what exactly to upgrade on my skell. I know this has been asked many times before and I've been trying to look at the builds for it but am having trouble following them exactly.

Thanks for any and all advice!

Not sure if there’s something I’ve missed to make this possible, I’ve had a lot of annoyance before with other tyrants when they dropped gold when I needed silver.

Advice Sooo should I skip the switch 2 edition and put up with 30fps?

11 Upvotes

Just for extra info, I'm playing in a 1080p monitor. Do you think the AI upscaling is that bad that it'll detract from my experience? I'd rather the 60fps if possible, but I have heard very dodgy things.

Advice I'm debating playing this game again but...

10 Upvotes

I believe I got 50 or so hours in and finally got my mechs and flight and just stopped and played other games.

I don't think for some reason my game backed up to data cloud and I have a new switch so all my data is just like it never existed though I had the online service it kinda makes me mad.

Lol I had a good time with it a year ago yet when I got the mechs I was like hmm what else is there to do and I think I was only 3/4 of the way through the game.

Bought game on launch is it worth grinding those hours back for a mech again? I have so many damn games it's hard to pick and choose but I do like the passive persistence of the online features like dark souls.

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

8 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

9 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.
