Woah! Is that _the_ Just a Pancake?!

.

Ok I believe you

Pancake-sama you're on every xenoblade chronicles videos haha

Are you alive

So this is what Enel does now after getting beat by Luffy and falling from Skypiea.

Isn't that what speedrunners do?

@@yurikuki haha I see what ya did there

Bruh

Lmao 😂

this is literally me... and searching for avant garden medal lolz

Youd be a good reyn player then

Lmao

Where you even trying?

Can somebody get this pinned please?

Seriously, they are all so bad and miss so much I can't even watch them.

Timothy Johnson too bad they dont understand the greatness that is dodge tanking

@@yazeedalsheikh2320 *Laughs in Tank Seven*

Pixel Do you mean the seventh character, or what? If so that’s pretty smart so you don’t spoil anything.

@@yazeedalsheikh2320 dunban was my prefered tank when I played the first time on 3DS. I only ever used Reyn if I needed to get aggro off another character. Riki never made sense to me, so I only used him to get affinity up and use his abilites on other characters.

bro all i need is magnum charge>sword drive

You mean Rain and Duncan?

Happyfoam 9000 Damn it, you beat me to the punch line

Melia is also overrated, so bad. Oh napon can like her 🤢 thank God I'm not a napon!!

Mine is Shulk and Alvis

Same ^

Its literally explained the very moment you unlock chains. Learn to fricken read

1 is still the best imo gameplay, world and story/characters wise

As someone who started off with XCX and then XC2, I was worried about the same thing. But so far, I'm really enjoying Definitive Edition

i remember going back to 1 after finishing 2 and i was like "wow, this is so vanilla 😅" not saying that in a bad way. i just was like "i used to think this was complicated" i got into it fine and it was still fun

2 is my favorite Xenoblade game. It’s such a beautiful game with a cool story.

2 and torna have a superior combat As for the story, that's up to preference. I prefer 1 cuz 1 has a well balanced tone to it. 2 was too "anime" cliche with an overly wacky tone at times. Plus more on the fanservicy Shonen side. That's why I like 3's tonal shift back to what 1 did

Just do quests and gift a lot. Not sure if it's different in definitive edition, but there is an enemy you can grind affinity on named stormy belegon in eryth sea too.

Gifting is streamlined in this version, much quicker and easier to understand. Using a chain attack raises all affinity with those currently on the field, use those as often as possible no point in saving it as it usually is drained and wasted, that and the party gauge raises quickly, even in a chain attack.

There is a unique monster in the game called stormy belegon at level 85 that any physical damaging move hits it the attacker falls asleep. Really easy for end game affinity grinding works like a charm Step 1: have the two party members you want to raise affinity and have sharla for healing in the party so you can drag the fight out. Step 2: dont kill it because you can go back so bring its health low then run and fight it again Step 3: enjoy all those heart to hearts

I feel like they've made it easier to gain affinity in this port. I just reached Satorl Marsh and I have lv4 affinity between Shulk and Reyn already. Granted, I did all the timed side quests, but it still seems like a very fast gain. It's been a couple of years since I played the game though, so I guess I can't say for sure.

As others have already mentioned, you can grind the ether based enemies for affinity, but I did a similar thing much earlier in the story. In Makna forest across bridge number 2 (I haven't gotten there in this release and it's been a while since I played the Wii version, so I hope that's the right bridge), there's a bunch of ether-based clouds that give you constant debuffs every time you hit it. On your party members, unequip all gear and unequip all arts from their palette so CPUs can only auto attack and talent art occasionally. Put low level weapons on your party and yourself to drag out the fight, keep whacking the enemy and get debuffed constantly, and go around encouraging your party. With DE, you can even use the expert mode setting to lower the level of your party if you're killing the enemy too quickly (in theory, again I haven't gotten there yet). I just know that on the original Wii release, I grinded to max affinity with everyone in the party (except 7, didn't have them yet when I did this) from about affinity level 2-3 between everyone in around 4-6 hours (yes, that sounds tedious, but if you're at the end game then I assume affinity levels are higher in general and won't take as much time).

He just knows how to speedgrind. I’ve been playing nonstop and just reached level 50 but haven’t been taking advantage of chain attacks like I should.

Lol yea, the games one chain tutorial is about toppling story enemies. I fell for it too and used chain attacks that way

it is the third itteration of the game after all. by simply chain-attacking to finish every halfway big fight you have such a good experience curve that just like in XC2 you never really have to level if you know what you are doing

Pixel overkill isn't in this game ??

I'm more impressed they are having no trouble whatsoever against Rotbart. Actually reaching the level they go gold isn't easy in my experience. Maybe a quick EXP path tutorial on leveling plateaus? Given my general strategy was Riki the Red Rotbart and keep it up till they died from status effects. Only managed to beat it once before giving up on that strategy and just turned my game into a Stealth Game to reach certain post-game areas.

How did I make it to Frontier Village without knowing this?! 😅

timing can take a bit to get used to

the secret is to aim to barely miss the outer ring, it's bigger than it looks

It was much easier for me to time perfectly in the original. Now I almost never get it perfect haha

Xord that’s because you didn’t have to time it in the original, it was only "you got it" or "you didn’t get it" Now it’s either you have perfectly timed it, you managed to press the button while it was in the blue area or you missed it

@@lightbrand_ funnily incorrect, in the original there was a perfect and a "you got it" I was surprised too

short answer is i haven't used him enough to have affinity with party so can't do big chains with him, I have Shulk, Reyn, and Dunban all maxed with each other. They also deal more damage overall and i'm all about damage typically lol. Couldn't show Seven though for the max damage of course.

@@EnelXC I'm in the same boat, i could never bring myself to bother to raise party affinity with riki.

@@EnelXC Just to let you know Enel, at 11:45 when you open the menu, it shows Seven on the side. Just a little spoiler.

Brea Nightly ok not only is it only the name but come on the game came out 10 years ago. Now that doesn’t mean it’s ok for story spoilers but for part member names (except for 7) are perfectly fine when it’s been that long

@@mikutsu5356 it was in the trailer anyways

like every totally sane man we preordered it, waited impatiently for the relase by checking the downloaded game every 30 seconds and then proceeded to tear through it with the experience of running the same thing 2 times already and easily getting to high entia in like 5 hours max. Its pretty obvious isnt it?

I'm 50 hours in I'm really feeling it R*** go to bed now

Pixel I mean idk about you but I want my 100%... and you can’t really get that very quickly nor leave it for the post game...

Brambles You can leave it for new game plus.

@@shawin2827 ...the game hasn't even been out 50 hrs lol

I finished the game last night at level 82 and still don't know what I was doing half of the time

What specifically is confusing about them? Just curious

@@sonjaa.martin6269 It was just alot of information in the beginning and the video is just easier to understand, but I understand the combat now.

@@mariah6607 ah alright haha, just wanted to help out! It's nice to hear you understand it now though

Gem crafting is daunting for sure, but remember these simple tips: Shulk and Reyn for crafting badass gems, characters with bad affinity towards each other for creating

This

I never beat the game because I couldn't figure out how the visions worked. gonna try to give it another shot after watching this.

I mean, that is how you topple lock.

Luckily that’s a good thing

I messed up slightly there but it's really hard to see, I apologize for that.

Heat haze is good temporarily but overall Peerless is his best aura for the party wide strength buff which is super good IMO

I'll get to that in future videos

Just look at the skill trees continued tutorial. It's in the combat section. It's pretty self-explanatory. Don't forget that "affinity coins" aren't actually spent: you get coins back when you un-link skills.

Fuck ether attacks lol, why isn't there an ether shield ability?

@@Laenthor There is one but it's kinda late game, you get it in a sidequest.
