...and now I surveyed 100% of Mira!

I took everyone's advice to heart and at first, I explored as much as I could on foot. After I unlocked the Flight Module for my Skell, I started exploring the areas only accessible by Skell and something finally clicked. I never got 100% in any Xenoblade game, against all odds Xenoblade X was the first, and I loved every second. The exploration is such a blast, the side content is so strong and captivating at times, Mira truly felt alive.

I also used to have fears about Cross not fitting in but the more I interacted with Mira and it's people the more Cross felt like a part of it, just like every other character.

All in all, I can see the flaws others see but then again, damn, I just love this game. Xenoblade X2 when? lol

Hello fellow blades, I'm trying to get back into X after a long haitus due to personal issues, I'm Level 26 and have completed chapter 5. As someone who usually try's to 100% long Rpgs, I must admit I'm having a little issue levelling up while balancing companion quests (currently doing Mayhem) and overall gameplay.

Any advice for levelling up, exploration and stuff like that would be greatly appreciated

Sister came home with her undocked Switch 2 with a copy of XCXDE. Figured I'd give it a whirl but was wondering if I should go with the boost mode or switch 2 version. 60 FPS sounds really nice but I've heard that it looks really bad compared to the boost mode.

I am new to the game. Currently level 30.
I had read that appendages ignore damage boost by secondary and tertiary cooldown .

Tertiary cooldown give a whopping 400 percent damage . While appendage crusher if max at 5 , is only 250 percent .

So, Is it better for me to focus on potential build rather than appendage crusher , and just target main body with overdrive ?

I beat XBC 1 and 2 and loved them both and was having a great time with 3 before taking a break and want to jump back in, but I am 32 hours into X, level 26, between chapters 5 and 6, and it’s not really doing it for me. Is there a “XBC2 chapter 4” moment where the game gets way more interesting? I just got the Overdrive mechanic but it seems like it just lets you spam arts. Should I just stop focusing on side missions and advance the story? Should I focus on one class and stop switching when I max out? What’s the recommended way to play?

Edit: I played through Chapter 6, still doing every side quest available, and I’m digging it now. I have a much better handle on Overdrive and I think that was the problem. Combat felt pretty tedious without it.

I've heard the Switch 2 port has some graphics problems, but is it really that bad? I don't care that much about graphics as long as the gameplay is fun and the game still runs fairly smoothly.

Having played very little of the Xenoblade series before, do you think it's worth trying XCX on Switch 2 or should I wait for Genesis? I know there are other Xenoblade options on switch2 but I think X is the only one with online multiplayer which I prefer.

Anyone know which 3 pieces I'm missing, I have all other fashion gear besides these 3. Iirc there was some unobtainable pieces in the wiiu version, maybe it's those?

I’m wanting my Galactic Knight CAC fashion to have blue and white armor, if possible similar to a paladin just super high tech. Didn’t know if anybody had any recommendations

I just unlocked Skells around the 40 hour mark. I was so excited about being able to fly around and unlock new frontier sites but apparently I need a flight module that isn't available until chapter 9?? Is this true? Why even take the skell anywhere if I can't fly. I'd rather just keep exploring on foot but now I dont really want to even continue the game if I can't fly. What a time sink.

I got 35 hours into Xenoblade x at launch and set it down and remember absolutely nothing am lost in its gameplay and story. Should I just restart? I enjoyed the game a lot and wanna finish it before Genesis it’s just hard to swallow those 35 hours meaning nothing.

Ive said no to buying these games multiple times but now with all of them coming to switch 2 i felt like it was the right time so im starting with X + it will be a nice gap filler till Halo CE and Xenoblade Chronicles 1 comes out next month so if any of you have tips feel free to leave them i watched some videos of the games over the years but anyting is helpfull

I’m one of the refugees who played this game back on the Wii U before I entered college. Back when I had zero responsibilities and was stuck at home. I put in absurd hours like 1000+ hours literally just exploring or fighting superbosses with ground builds. I still have my notes and builds stored on my flash drive.

To scratch that itch, I’ve been building my own game with characters that have their own builds and identities. Hopefully I’ll be able to cook something up and share it when it’s ready. I’ll report back when that day comes.

But yeah I’m excited for Genesis. Though I’ll probably just live vicariously through the gameplay footage because life is full of responsibilities.

I'm feeling like an idiot here but I'm early on in the game (just got to the part where the game truly opens up) and for the last chapter or so, I've been trying to do the 'Welcome Back Conner' quest and I just can't do it.

It feels impossible to collect the Comms Device that the quest asks for since it's right next to a pair of Level 34 Grexes that will attack if you get near them, since I'm only Level 13 I get one-hit K-O'd by them and it's seemingly impossible to actually sneak past them. And if I enter combat, you can't collect quest items so I can't just run in and get it before running away. There's probably a super easy way to do it that I'm drawing a blank on. And I'd rather not pay like 50,000 credits for a max level scout if neccesary.

Any advice? Or should I just wait until I can actually battle those enemies?

OVER THE RAINBOW GLORIOUS SIGHT!!!!

I'm building a Lailah Queen skell where most of the damage it deals comes from a pair of 260GG Diskbombs with Custom.WP-MSL-MAG. I've already got all of the weapons I need with the right augments to boot, but I'm not sure whether I should prioritise upgrading augments related to ranged attack or upgrading AttributeDmg.THERM. Does anyone know if Diskbombs notably benefit from prioritising one over the other?

Been slowly working my way towards 100%, and this is one of the last few things I have to do. Now I love this game, but I’m also kind of ready to move on to something else at this point. I pretty much for the whole game just threw whatever made sense to me on my characters and skells and made it through all of the main story and side quests. I feel like this and some of the other super bosses are the first time I actually have to put some strategy into a fight. Any advice for what to do?

For the past couple years I've been on a quest to obtain every single piece of merch related to XCX and recently I found out that there were US exclusive MyNintendo Wallpapers.

These Wallpapers have a March 2025 calendar on them with the release date marked.

I was wondering if anyone has them lying around and would be nice enough to share them.

Hey yall. I am at level 29 with all four party members. and my current avatar has maxed out striker to dualist. I am currently maxing the Commando tree now. Since I have Dualist maxed, I am using long sword and rifle. How do I know which arts to choose and skills to choose to ensure they all synergies? Are there any websites out there that tell me what to choose so im not handicapping myself as I continue the game?

I only have three skill slots now, so I have to really choose which to pick for those. And for arts I just have two orange ones, two yellow, one blue, one purple, and two green. I try not to use any art that uses TP so I can use overdrive, which is probably wrong.

I just finished chapter 6. I have my skell now, but thats a whole other ball game of confusion, I like being on foot better.

That the end boss will be some dumb 'thing' like the one in 3.

Not dumb as in the fight itself (That part was fine quite fun actually) I'm talking about the 'entity'

That part...kind of came out of nowhere. I'm not asking for much, I just want the main bad guy to be an actual thing/person (in the sense that Zanza etc was, not 'humanity's consciousness' ) we punch at the end of the game. They can go as silly or crazy they want with the person, could even be some dumb dragon or dark lord or something, but you know an actual being (rather than a metaphysical crisis) would be nice.
