SUBREDDIT Clarification on Subreddit Spoiler Flairs Spoiler

58 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!

Finally got my hands on this skill and heard a while back pairing this with supercharge does insane amount of damage while Overdrive but how much damage potentially can it stack up? Because this is really awesome

Discussion I’m struggling with Cross Shield trooper class :(

7 Upvotes

So I’ve completed chapter 6 and start to doing affinity missions (Neilnail mission), at this point I also reached the max Duelist level, so I moved to shield trooper class , but I notice all my arts are gone so is like a new start but I noticed missions became hard due my companions die quickly and I only have two ranged arts and one topple art, I believe this class is not focused on attack but I can keep the aggro, which I tought it was my class assignment, what I’m missing here? I’m not a fan to change tier S companions or change MC cross to be a companion and pick Elma as controlled char

I really liked Lao, he was awesome, granted i don't put him in my party but his character was awesome and being real for the most, but to ACTUALLY be the Spys for those Pig fuckers is insane, i am currently on Chapter 11 so ill find out more later today but damn, him being a spy wasn't on my radar even after chapter 10 but everything up to the point make sense, sad

(2nd picture unrelated)

I thought that since humans are in mimeosomes, that they’d be immune if not extremely resistant against poison. After all the mimeosomes don’t have biological parts to my knowledge and function off of electricity.

This also begs the question on how some of the environmental hazards affect people and that quests enemies infecting people. Like I can get how lava damages us, but not phosphorus lake and rust lake.

Probably spoiler warning!

This mission so far has been the most frustrating experience in this game for me. Sure, I am not the most skilled Xenoblade X player and I'm sure there will be many in the comments with smug responses about invulnerability this or resistance that. I managed to finally do this quest successfully, albeit after some hours of "Old Man Yelling At the Skies".

So, if anyone struggles with this quest, then here is my advice how to approach this:

  1. Obviously save before accepting the quest
  2. Side with Phog, for the love of God. The Frye part in the stronghold is insidious. And you will have to go to that stronghold after Phog part anyway, but it will be easier.
  3. Do Phog part and then you will be sent to the stronghold to help out Frye.
  4. At the stronghold either use ShadowStrike ability or make Elma party leader and use hers ability to sneak past enemies to the place where Frye is sitting. DO NOT TALK TO HIM.
  5. Save game
  6. Switch to your main party leader (I'm guessing, it's your main anyway) as after you talk to Frye you are immediately in combat and can't switch characters.
  7. Talk to Frye and the final confrontation will start. This multi stage battle is much much easier than the original Frye side of the quest. You should be fine.

Apologies to any XB X DE connoisseurs, but this mission really irked me and this is the flow how I managed to do it with my mediocre skills.

Advice Yellow information bubbles: bug or working as intended?

7 Upvotes

I've had a few situations of Mission/Treasure/Tyrant Info showing up on the segment map BEFORE actually acquiring the information. (FYI, I have confirmed this by loading earlier saves and checking Intel > Information for "Lend an Ear" mission info, "Bertrand, the Gorge Scourge" tyrant info, and "Daril, the Eradicator" tyrant info) It's probably way more than those I've tested, because EVERY SINGLE segment outside of NLA has its Info shown, and while I played a good number of hours I'm pretty sure I didn't go everywhere to talk to everyone yet. I'm around level 53 and finished chapter 11 btw. An earlier game early still in Chapter 3-ish doesn't seem to have the same issue. Also, segments inside NLA seem to be working fine, because a small number doesn't show.

The problem is: I'm having a blast exploring and love the idea that you have to find the treasure/tyrant but get an additional advantage if you get the corresponding information. Now it feels like I've been cheating, almost. I cleared a huge amount of treasure segments recently. Has anyone encountered something similar? How would you deal with this; ignore the information from the map and just look up individual information through Intel > Information? Does anybody else have similar experiences, or is it just me?

Thanks for your insights. This game is so fun, but I love having the "proper" experience of finding info before getting the extra hint.

EDIT: I should also clarify that this is the Switch Definitive Edition, not the OG Wii U version nor the Switch 2 version. thanks

While this version isn't heard in-game, the DE finally used the OST version that went unused in the original Wii U release. On the OST, it's called "PianoX3".
