gonna pick up a CCP soon. I didn't even know they existed until today. Nintendo is the most evil company I think I've ever encountered

Did you not know about the classic controller at all, or just the CCP? Because the classic controller came out when the Wii did. And I don't even know what the difference is between that and the CCP.

Why would anyone use the Classic Controller when the only way to be able to actually move while selecting skills is to use Wiimote+Nunchuk?

Surverying the beautiful surroundings with the free camera is more important imo.

I don't think you find a good spot until you get to the leg. there's maybe a couple spots around colony 9 but they usually lead to water.

don't worry, you'll die jumping dozens of times throughout the game!

Why is there no free camera with Wii/chucks?

Ugh... at least the CC is really easily clawable, but the shoulder buttons suck and you need to tether it to a wiimote.

When does the latter unlock? And I assume you need those book things to level up Arts?

Umm... what? Wiimote+Nunchuk has the same free camera, and you can rotate it while moving.

There is literally no advantage to the Classic Controller.

they should be unlocked pretty early on....I thought I already had them by the time I was in control of Fiora.

And skill books unlock higher levels of arts. Like without those books you can only get your arts to like level 4, but then with a book you can get it to 7, then another book later on you can get it to 10

uhhh it shouldn't be long before it unlocks

Arts start only allowing you to level them up to (going off my memory here) Level 4 with your Art Points, but you buy beginner Art Books to increase the max level to 8. Then later on you'll find Intermediate Art Books as rare drops from enemies, which will let you level them up to the max.

7-8 close enough. I never played far enough to max out an intermediate art

of course I never focused just on one though, I always leveled them all up evenly so all of my arts were around level 5-6

Well I'm working on KOTOR so I'll probably keep Xenoblade on the backburner until I'm done with it but I just got done with a two-hour sample session. I don't believe in judging things so soon into a lengthy game so I won't criticize the issues I was less excited about but the world design and music are already just as good as they all claimed them to be. And combat is just fine for an old-schooler like me!

Holding down C on the nunchuk.

So, with the Classic Controller, can't you even move while the main menu is open? While you're selecting submenus I mean.
