is not a glitch, is basically stage hazzard. you can actually drop in that whole and fall die. same with other. if a monster is flying out of land and you manage to Topple it, it will fall down and die, even UM

Xenoblade 2 |OT2| THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME!? DON'T FORGET ME!
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
implied specially given
given Metsu/ Malos Blade Arts are Monado too.
Like 99% yes. Or that's the most likely answer. It isn't exactly confirmed in game, but it makes sense.
So, anyone know what the requirements for the Bana's Revenge quest are? I want to beat it before finishing the game :(
Also, I want to know if you guys would recommend me doing any of the quests I have yet to finish before finishing the game. Here's a list:
The ones underlined are currently the ones I really want to finish before beating the game. If you guys recommend any others, let me know! I wish I could do all of the Blade ones since the writing in those is usually pretty charming, but I'll settle for the best ones.

Thanks, I'm still trying to wrap my head around a few details, and I may take it to the spoiler thread to keep things clean here.
There are also certain blades that do bonus damage when fighting alongside specific genders, specifically Sheba.
I really want to do all the end-game quests, particularly the blade quests, but having to manage blades, merc missions, constantly micromanage field skills and now engage with the shitty gacha system for the first time in about 40 hours is just killing me.
I ran around Tantal for an hour last night just exploring and it was a blast. Once I actually wanted to get some stuff done it turned into a menu-based drag again. I have 99 common crystals and 40 rares and I absolutely dread having to open them. I opened 10 boosted rares last night and got nothing, then had to spend 15 minutes deciding which 10 blades to release so I could do it all again.

Needing specific skills for environment traversal and opening treasures is one of the poorer-designed elements from the game. I love the game but there are so many slight niggles in the game that feel superfluous.
You can rewatch any cutscene in the game, so it's really easy to try both.
It encourages backtracking because you won't be able to get everything or access everywhere right away.
If you like Japanese anime with subtitles, go for Japanese dub.
it's a bit of a long quest chain so check this spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HKkPoCbW0oO1JzV-hx21ueZMIjmWdboVh3vgSrlEwj4/htmlview#
should be under the We Meet Again and Bana's Secret Treasure sidequest tabs
I'm still at beginning of Chapter 2. I get frustrated when I try to go kill some beasts to farm I get swarmed by these flying birds everywhere I go. I wonder does this get easier?
Dunban posted the steps to another quest that saves you a ton of cash if you complete umon bounces back. Pretty handy if anybody else is doing that quest! Thanks sir.
I dont know how can some people really be stuck there, that and something later on Chapter 7 is almost impossible not to not have it ready
If you need more SS, the game already gives you Wulfric Core as he has SS, and for Chapter 7, game already give you dromarch and after Chapter 6 early, you have Aegeon too both have Ancient Wisdom
So I finished Chapter 4 yesterday.
Currently at Fonsett Village, I've found like the fourth or fifth NPC in Electra's quest but she hasn' been able to help any of them. I need to work on that affinitty chart.
I was wondering though, what's the consensus about the sidequests? Feeling them more like XC (mostly "standard" jrpg sidequest with a few very good ones) rather than the ones from X (that expanded the lore and explored themes like racism and trust).
The mech battle was so over the top I couldn't stop laughing. But then thing get serious again and a we get some backstory, so the contrast between the bigger conflict and the Nopon drama was both amazing and weird.
Also loving that new Torna girl.

Do the visuals improve past the opening hub because good lord this is really, really unimpressive. I mainly play portable which isn't helping I guess, but it's really jarring going from BOTW to this :/
I already completed those two quests and it still doesn't trigger. Niranira is in Argentum without a quest marker.
Bana quest is behind several other quest, did including the Broinic quest in Mor, and you need to be at least chapter 8 cause you need a quest a little girl gives you in Mor A next to where you refine Aux chips
I already did those though. As I said, I followed the guide and completed both the Farewell, Friend quest you get from the little girl in Mor Ardain, and Bana's Secret Treasure which is still not triggering. That's why I'm asking for a specific requirement list. I'm in Chapter 9.
Majority of the side-quests I've uncovered thus far are your standard fetch-quests and/or "go here/go there/go here again" but some have surprised me in terms of the world-building and providing a bit more of a social/political backbone to the different factions/countries in the game. I think my favourite thus far has been one of the quests in Mor Ardain involving a soldier giving you what appears to be a basic "go here, give item" quest but...
it turns out said Ardain soldier is actually a Gormotti who's simply raising money for his siblings given their mother is dead and their father has abandoned them.
one of the higher-up's of said terrorist group turns out to be the soldier's father and you see the difference between someone who's still pissed off at the empire for invading their land and someone who's willing to forgive them for the sake of making end's meet. Actually ends with you having a choice, as the player, as to what to do with said father.
The game as a whole doesn't do anything new or really go into much depth regarding the relationships and reasons underscoring each faction, but as someone who was going into this thinking Mor Ardain were going to be presented as just this token-evil all-conquering nation who don't give a shit about anything or anyone, I like how the occupation of Gormott is explained a little and is actually presented - from both sides - as not as terrible a thing as the early parts in the game would deceive you into believing. Overall though, XC2 does flesh out stuff like this but not to the extent that I'd sing any extremely high praise over. Plus, as mundane as some of the quests and merc missions are, it's another way to improve affinity/skills for common Blades which may come in handy further down the line.
Just wait until the later chapters when you find yourself skip-travelling from one nation to another...and it's texture pop-in you have to face on a more-regular basis.
Great track indeed. I'm partial to Indol and Theosoir's songs (both songs being sung by ANUNA helps ~ my first time in Indol left me agape, as it is probably the best song I've ever heard for a holy city) and Zeke's combat theme (without the annoying blubbering from characters, I was able to enjoy that song much, much more, that theme is incredible).
Does anyone know the song that plays during many of the cutscenes? It has a somber tone to it. It's often played when a character is talking about the past or reflecting on something.
I haven't received that quest yet so I'm not clicking on those spoilers, but it's nice to know some of them are more substantial in regards to lore. I'll return to the city to find it, thank you!
Go to the flight deck and head inside. There should be a Nopon next to a large white chest at the other end of that floor.
I got the Collector's Edition on Christmas and have been playing daily since. I just met the Zekenator for the first time.
...I can't remember the last time I laughed that much at something in a video game.

no matter what they tell you, Zeke is best boy. hands down, sorry Rex
Zeke constantly makes me think of Chūnibyō Demo Koi ga Shitai!... Seriously, I actually wondered several times if he wasn't a Yuuta Togashi expy.
Thanks - didn't know these tracks were sung by ANUNA.
The "official" music video is great too...very haunting.
from the Story and some HtH you understand why he is like that, also he wasnt a Yuuta, HE IS a Yuuta
Zeke grew both being told he was a descendant of the Hero Addam and reading all type of tales (some wrong) about him. so he wanted to live up to that and be a hero of justice himself
Spoilers are spoilers...? If this was half-way through, should I put "Spoilers 50% of the way in" or "Spoilers 75% in" if it's the last quarter of the game? Anyone that hasn't beat the game that sees a spoiler tag shouldn't open spoiler tags - it's as simple as that. I'm not going to modify my spoiler tag lol.
The markers probably haven't vanished, they just get hidden under the icon for environmental interaction points or whatever they're called. For some dumb reason those take priority over quest exclamation points on the map.
I think I'll go with subs for this one. Those dubs sound a little rough in comparison to Xenoblade 1.
I keep trying to play other games but end up going back to this. The sidequests, especially the blade ones, are really good. Amazing actually. Is this the general sentiment or am I just crazy for liking them?
So far I liked Agate's and Percival's the most. I also really enjoyed the process of getting Praxis and Theory. The sidequest to obtain Vess was terrific and had good emotion... I just hate her so much.

Fuck me. Get another rare blade on #4 and it's Ursula. What I wouldn't give for another tank on them.
Apparently Ursula is the most painful blade to upgrade in the whole game? Is it worth overdriving her over to Nia just so Nia doesn't have two Wind blades, or should I just bin her and save her for merc missions?

I can't see the level 3 in Gormott, but they do appear on the map for other places.
The rare blade sidequests are pretty good in general. I'm still surprised by how much effort they put into them, considering the fact that most players won't even get all of the rare blades in a typical playthrough.
