Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, and SMT V are nowhere in sight right now, so I wouldn't get too confident about them being 2019 games.

While Rex doesn't exactly need more Blades, I would personally have maybe two more optional Rare Blades on him just to diversify a little.

Something to note: Merc Missions will fill out most Affinity Nodes except for certain ones, like deal a certain amount of damage in one hit (which can be annoying, but Opening Art Up Aux Cores can help deal with that).

And also, using Pouch items increase Trust on all Blades engaged to Driver you gave the item to, but not by a huge amount this early on. However, you can overwrite Pouch items with the same Pouch items or others, so you can grind Trust this way. Common Blades don't need a whole lot of Trust.

Now, combining a bit of Trust grinding and Merc Missions, you can max out a Common Blade. Then you can release it and get WP packs, which are very useful to give a boost to your Arts. Becomes more valuable later on when you can throw away higher level Commons without worrying about losing out on useful skills. Though always note the skills your Blades have, you don't want to get stuck because you were short on a Field Skill, and you don't want to throw out Blades with useful Battle Skills (More relevant on Three Crown and up Blades, which could have stuff like Orb Master)

Of course, that's a lot of menuing, and not entirely necessary if you just want to plow through the story. The main quests don't demand too much extra work out of you, at least in the first half of the game.

they're not stat boosted

you're just really bad at the game

False.
They do more damage and take less damage.

Actually tested this. Used a move that did 17% in normal play, was 15% in an unlock battle. Noticed their moves did a bit more damage than normal battles as well.

My friend, who is way, way better at the game than me, also noticed the handicap.

I'm one and done usually. I aim to get the most out of a single playthrough, and I rarely revisit games.

For games I have revisited, I think the max was... at least 5 playthroughs? Not entirely sure.

I utterly hate the first half of Chapter 7. It's such a terrible slog of a dungeon, the single worst area in the entire Xenoblade series.

However, Chapter 8 onward is my favorite part of the game.


Oh shit I thought you said 6 was the bad dungeon..

It cant be worse than navigating that ice mountain can it?

I actually love Tantal, but I think I'm in the minority there.

Some people actually like Chapter 7's dungeon design. I don't. But, there is another factor to the dungeon that truly makes me hate it. You'll definitely notice something will be off. Especially if you're like me and happen to be at the appropriate level for the enemies to aggro you...

Also, no Pyra is annoying because her lack of presence makes many Blade Quests, and some normal quests, undoable for the time being. The chapter basically forces you to rush it.

Howd they go from Xenoblade 1 to this?

Some of the best armors are literally swimsuit/lingerie in the first one. Did you even play it?

Eh, maybe in the beginning, but later on Medium and Heavy armors completely outclass Light armor unless you're playing a specialized build.

Every Blade has their own quest.

The first few chapters are a slog, it gets better after Chapter 4 (which is what you're on and by far the silliest chapter in the game), IMO.

Would Russia really be stupid enough to target past world leaders and opponents to the current administration in America?

That's got to be a tantamount to a declaration of war, regardless of how much they trust Trump to kiss up to them. Trying to kill former spies is one thing, the targets in these bomb threats are much, MUCH bigger.

2 is legitimately one of the worst games I've played.

But, opinions vary, and it seems DS2 is particularly divisive, I just ended up being one of the haters. I'd say it's probably better to go for 2 before 3. Gives a nice sense of progression from slowest (DS1) to fastest (DS3).

TopicHow did you handle bullying? How would you handle your kids being bullied?
M-Watcher

I got angry. I tried getting school staff involved and was hardly ever believed. Eventually gave up and resorted to violence, got reprimanded a few times by school staff, bullies usually got off with no issue.

At my first year of college, where, surprisingly, bullying was at its worst (which, at that point, is not bullying anymore, it was pure harassment), I got campus security involved. Made it so the most dangerous bully would get in trouble if he ever got near me. He obviously was let off easy because he was a football player, but I certainly made his pastime of harassing people quite difficult for him.

If my child was bullied, I would get the bully's parents involved, I would get the school or whatever involved, I would cause a bit of a ruckus, while also trying to encourage my kid to try to not take it hard, or try to turn it around. While I wouldn't encourage violence, I wouldn't discourage it either, especially if it seems like a better option than most.

I really don't want school staff and parents take the same apathetic attitude as I dealt with when I was a kid getting bullied. My parents weren't that great at responding to bullies, but sometimes they tried. I want to do more than just make sad attempts.
