Board 8 > Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Topic 2: 2 KOS-MOS 2 quit

(+) Yeah! (+)

Thanks!

You can press right to cycle through item categories

That's not sorting. I mean when you press - and it only gives you the options to sort alphabetically or chronologically.

well i mean it is sorting but not the sorting i want

Like, I was trying to decide what accessories to sell, but because there's no way to sort accessories by type in the sell menu, the ones with similar effects are often far apart from each other and it becomes a hassle to go back and forth to see what you have better versions of so you can sell off the weaker ones. The rarities will be together, but the +10%, +20%, or +30% will all be separate.
---

Ah yeah, they definitely could have done that better
---

throw all accessories in the trash
---

Man, chapter 4 is dragging so much for me. Its taken me days to care enough to get through this.
---

My problem is I'm doing too much other stuff. I went and started and accomplished all I currently could from all the available rare Blade sidequests. At the middle of Chapter 5, I was only able to complete three, and a number of them still don't have their quests available yet, but I was able to do a big chunk of many others.

I'm just glad there's an event viewer because I think I should rewatch some of the cut scenes before going forward now.
---

I wish using core crystals was faster

Even skipping the animation it takes forever
---

Okay what the fuck is with Newt
---

Jeez, nearly every enemy I fight now is dropping core crystals. I don't even use them anyone, I don't have enough room for more blades.
---

Just went through 50 cores with a 500 luck character using a high amount of boosters

Yeah I don't think I like this game anymore
---

worrying about core crystals and rare blades is a bad way to play the game

I've been enjoying it more since I stop caring about those

I did after after chapter 4, and it was great, but I still want to complete the game, and I have around 10 blades left to pull before beating the game
---

I'm in chapter 5 right now. I find I'm enjoying the game the most not when I'm doing the story or farming for cores, but doing sidequests and leveling up the Blades that I already have.
---

Yeah like I had it's all cool until you reach mid 7 and you don't have any new blades

I seriously can't imagine I'll like this game if I ever get sucked into this yeah
---

Pulled Zenobia, so only two left to go.

Her affinity chart is... interesting.
---

I thought I would be wasting my time going through these common cores, but I ended up pulling Newt while I wasn't paying attention. So hooray! Well as much of a hooray as I could possibly muster for Newt anyway...

KOS-MOS officially last rare Blade yet to pull.
---

I've got about 30 hours in the game and have not once cared about pulling a rare Blade or farming for cores. I haven't even been paying attention to the system really. Not sure if it's the gacha that turns me off or the jello boobie fan service.

I've pulled 6 rares so far, have found them all useful in some way.

Is it advised to put 3 healers on Nia, 3 dps on Rex?
---

I definitely advise 3 healers on Nia if she's going to be AI. Having a non-healer on her can screw you randomly during a hard fight if she switches to it for a Driver or Blade combo.

I wouldn't recommend using any overdrives just yet, and I'd stop using Cores on Rex after you have a couple you can work with. He gets Blades during the story.

For the Cores you get that contain a specific Blade, I'd put the healer on Nia, tanks on 4th, and attacks on 5th.
---

so what's all the hoopla about trying to pull blades? just trying to get a weird boob girl? sounds like you can stop after a few rares and you'll get what you need and and overdrives to fix things up, or?
---

there are very few overdrives in the game naturally, and even then you have to wait until the end of the game to get most of them. I think you get maybe 3 in a reasonable in amount of playtime.

Blades are actual characters with sidequests tied to them. As a completionist I want all of them.
---

Maybe it's just more fun to fight alongside characters that don't look like TRON sex dolls.
---

does not compute
---

Oh, just got a legendary core from an enemy drop. Not a kill, just a smash. And then I died shortly afterward because a small island surrounded by poison isn't a good place to fight a level 65 unique monster.
---

kos-mos why do you do this to me

Ive found four by chapter 4. Used two already. :v
---

It'd be pretty cool if the map had toggle-able markers for all the tombstones. Going back for all the ones I already killed to progress Zenobia's chart is rough.
---

Got party member #4. Also got another rare: Electra. Seems to be a perfect match.
---

Just got Zenobia. Mhmmmm.
---

Got my next Rare Blade. It was... Ursula. *groan*

So now I'm down to just Electra and KOS-MOS. Still wondering whether it'd be faster to release a ton of rare blades to "restore" the odds of getting a rare (but severely decreasing the chance one will be KOS-MOS, or just holding on and continuing to grind and crack cores until KOS-MOS finally shows up.
---

Considering how often KOS-MOS is left to the end for people, I feel like you'd just as likely pull everyone again before her.
---

I just wish Nintendo would patch the damn thing to increase the rates. There's no reason not to. I won't be buying other Switch games until I beat this one and I won't be moving on with this one until I get KOS-MOS :p
---

am i the only one who has pulled kos mos on this board
---

oh hey a deed that increases my run speed by 5%

VROOM
---

i barely know who kos-mos even is!

is she related to kramer
---

She's from Xenosaga. I never played it so I don't care about her as a character either, but, well, completion. That and to my knowledge she's the only way to get a Light-element Blade on someone other than Rex.

Though as far as female Blades go, she has one of the more "reserved" designs lol.
---

She's a main character From Super Robot Taisen OG saga Endless Frontier
---

Also while we are wishing for things Nintendo will never give us, I want the ability to have only Kos-mos switched to her Japanese VA

JUUUUUUUUUMPPPPU

i love poppi mostly for this

i will click on every leap icon even though I know i don't have the skills i need to activate
---

I love how she has her own end of sentence speech quirk combined the nopon speech quirk of putting -mo at the end of sentences
---

...Poppi boosters, engage?
---

Is there a way to prevent the enemy from blocking your healing? Will the combo seal for either shackle driver or shackle blade stop it? This has been my biggest hangup with some enemies. Like even enemies 15 levels lower than me can kill me if they block my healing.
---

Yeah okay neither of those stop it.

what's your opinion on akhlos's Japanese VA?

like is it just me or does he shout way too much all the goddamned time, especially in that last cutscene battle?
---

shouting is his forte

Yes, but this was to be revealed via Japanese media publication Famitsu as supplemental material for the radio dramatization ~Extra Refrection~ tie-in to the Perfect Works representation for the cancelled Xenosaga Episode IV: Thine Own Cell
