Is it me or is Sena's voice very different in the DLC?

It seemed about the same during Ino's quest, but it was very noticeably different during the Archsage intro.

Ino is going to be divisive among the fanbase.

Pretty boring character IMO. Maybe the weakest Hero Quest? One of the weaker Ascension Quests too.

Her outfit looks bad on the rest of the cast too, sadly. Wish they would've tried a little harder since she's DLC or something.

I dont know why but this pirates voice acting really bothers me.

Patch Ver. 1.2.1

We've fixed some issues to make the game more enjoyable.

There's a couple late game cards that are bugged and after fulfilling them, they still show as unfulfilled and the little icon on the field screen doesn't go away.

...though now that I think of it, I suppose you can just sell some of the collectibles so the cards don't show as fulfillable anymore.

Oh

Okay

they used their thinking muscles for this one

Finally beat the game.

lmao Gigachad Rex. Poor Melia just gets a sword...

Ino sucks

haven't started DLC yet but I did come back this week to finish up mastering all jobs and now working on the gems

... man the gem hunt just makes you hate it more and more as it goes, this shit was not made to be doable without a guide

wtf Blessed Pippito Light why are you only available from two species of Pippito, one that just comes in a batch of 3 that bolt it away from you so it's hard to kill them before they hide, and then your other option is just one singular Pippito at some far-end cliff on the Everblight Plains you just keep killing, then jump off the cliff to respawn it and trek back there and repeat until the RNG gives you 15/20/30 of the right rarities

another thing I dearly miss about XB1 is how every NPC could be traded with, so you could often find these sort of field/monster drops from there instead (except like Rainbow Slug and Black Liver Bean okay but definitely not the quantity of completely obscure monster drops that this game wants you to farm)

got every gem to lv8 minimum sans the healer role column still lv7s and taking a pause for today, only other exception is Steelcleaver X

Blessed Pippito Light is dropped by the UM Shimmering Marcko. I did Gem farming a while back but I think that UM wasn't too hard to Burst spam for items.

damn, game8.co has been pretty good at listing all UMs and normal monsters who drop but didn't mention anything but the normal mobs for the light - because yeah I've just been going through the UMs with my soulhacker burst party

I remember searching for comprehensive drop listings months ago always ended up lacking so I was happy to see game8 usually giving me UM results

I used a mix of these two sources:

This one mostly lists the right UM to use:

If the UM seems like a pain to farm (low level, bad area to fight), I checked this as a secondary:
https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/13113-xenoblade-chronicles-3-gems-guide-best-gems-how-to-perform-gem-crafting-and-where-to-find-materials

I also wrote some miscellaneous advice earlier:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80154559/967909943

I only went for the X level gems so you'll have to figure something out if there's some lower Gem level material that is hard to get.

I'm going the whole way although it's gonna be tainted because early in there was a couple I skipped before realizing you can't craft backwards T_T

I started the process and finished a couple level 8s, and then I decided fuck no.

god damn Auxilia Cylinderssss

like it's not bad enough that there's no UM, or that they're from a specific grouping of mobs, or that the mob isn't close to a spawn point, that you have to rail grind from one reef to another for a respawn, or even that there are a swarm of other auto-aggro kevesi mobs around them

but that those mobs included Elites and Blocker tanks who will steal your aggro away so you can't even just target down the Auxilia mechs fffffffffffffffffffff gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

gem grind is pure agony I only have 6/20 of this crap and I feel like I haven't even gotten a Legendary Auxilia Cylinder in like 10 respawn runs now augh kill me

Those gems are the true dump for golden nopon coins

Used 99 gold nopon coins twice for the two gems I wanted at level X and didn't worry about the rest of them

I just used coins to buy the Steel Protection X Gem so I haven't personally tested this but it sounds like it might work.

Problem is of course that you still need Auxillia stuff for a level IX gem somewhere

oh god X gem auxilias, I'm still on the IX for Ironclad

Auxilia Exo-Armor 2*? *checks*... I got 80 of those I'm good lmao

14/20 Cylinders! I'll give that chain attack strat a shot though. I've recently just switched to a Raging Force + Capable Hands + Gust Bracelet setup to just one-shot everything so i can clear through faster.

21/20 finally, ended up sticking with the Raging Force route since I already got up to the higher teens so it was only a bitleft to go

Aux Cylinders 88 common 99 rare 21 legendary
Aux Exo-Armor 95 common 99 rare 26 legendary

Why is Smash so OP during chain attacks, lmao. Totally trivializes things.

gems complete wooooo

well... except a lot of the Gem 1s I skipped before realizing the problem.... that's 16 missing Gem 1s and then every other gem complete

dammit game gimme an update to go back this is embarrassing

What do you mean Gem 1s and going back

The game doesn't let you create a lower level gem if you made a higher level Gem of the same type. So if a player makes a level 2 Gem before making a level 1 Gem, they can't make the level 1 Gem anymore.

aka only an insane person would care about

Yeah why does that matter? Arent the next levels all pure upgrades???

OCD god dammit

owned: 1s everywhere but then there's just one page half of which saying Owned 0 and I can't do a damn thing

The next levels are pure upgrades. The game doesn't even let you use lower level Gems once you have a higher level version.

106 hours in

still doing chapter 5 sidequests

guys help

sounds about right

You're doing great, sweetie.

xb3 chapter 5 is basically if ff13 pushed its chapter 10 climax scenes into chapter 11

191 hours in and I am still Gem farming. You are at least still sane!
