"...I may be witness to something extraordinarie" "Like one successful salvage attempt by me?" XDXDXDXDXD To be honest, the first click is hard as hell. I almost never managed to do it. I think when I was about to finnish the game, it started working. Some times.

Mor Ardain is the worst place when it comes to finding your main-questmarker. :D Don't use the compass, just look at the environment and try to think logically where to go next. But this Titan also has one of the coolest atmospheres, with it's steampunk style and wasteland surroundings.

The stop by the hot springs may seem like the typical anime filling stuff but it has some relevant clues. The game is so long that maybe you won't remember then... but oh well.

Don't look away during important cutscenes lol! xD

You did it one time battling morag. But you should try to do it more, extend your chain attack by putting orbs on the enemy, each blade combo will put an elemental orb on the enemy if there is not one orb already from the same elemental of the last special in the combo, breaking the orb during a chain attack turn will grant you another turn. Break 5 and the chain attack will end, starting a full burst. Every extra orb will guarantee a massive bonus to the full burst, I don't remember exactly but you can get something like between 100% to 800% damage bonus. You are early in the game, i don't think it's likely for you to do a full burst yet, but you should at least try to extend your chain attack using one of two orbs.

Fun fact: Muimui is voiced by the same VA who voiced Xord in Xenoblade 1.

For attackers, in special rex/pyra/mythra, critical is a more important stat to look in a chip. For defenders block rate is important, if not using a dodge build, dodge depends on agility, so it will depend on the driver statistics, if I'm not mistaken I favored block on tora, and on the other defender I favored chips with high attack or critical depending on the blade and equipped itens for evasion and agility up. Chips stats are less important for healers, so for mia's blade I used a mix of high damage and high critical depending on the blade. The bonuses a chip gives vary from blade to blade, if I remember correctly it depends of the weapon type the blade uses. Also there are only one healer driver. But there are other methods of get healing. Critical healing, chain attack healing, and others, it will be useful to look into those things at mid/end game when you will actually have the equipment or have means to farm the equipment necessary to make those builds.

Mor ardain has cool music, but I don't find a lot more going for it. The city is ok I guess. I find it hard to traverse, I don't know... slightly confusing.

I don't want to spoil anything, but you missed the scene, mythra noticed mia is a man, and promised to keep it a secret. 😂 Just kidding.
