I will not be here for a while, I just want to say bye!

If you guys do not like me this is your time to celebrate.

So how is everyone doing in this thread and what is your favorite Pokemon game?

 

[mario123007]

I feel like I’ve gotten nowhere in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

I'm all ears to know why.

 

[praline]

I'm all ears to know why.

Well I’m on the quest to get the weird animal guy with the hand ears’s fake blade finished but first I’m doing a touch of level frinding cause I’m not comfortable with my level and everything whether it’s higher or lower level is destroying me outside of the rabbit guys.

 

[Z25]

The Runaways is getting pretty good. I don't know if you have seen it Opossum but there's a villain who reminds me a lot of a certain other bad guy from a very popular show right now.

It's not super action based, but as a drama its pretty good and things are getting more towards the marvel action side it seems.

I am guessing you are on the quest of finishing Tora's artificial Blade right? (PS:That weird animal guy with hand ears is a Nopon and he is named Tora, and it's not "fake" Blade, it's artificial Blade...)

I mean I did sort of have a problem at that time...
Until I notice that you can also get those items and cash by salvaging... Go give it a try. Noice some place that has the hook icon? Go there and salvage (You also need to buy cylinder first too.)

For someone who has played for 125 hours due to completing quests, discovering landmarks, getting rare Blades, making money etc... When ever you feel stuck you can always ask me or PM me.

 

[Ivander]

So I tried my luck again with the Winter Banner and I got another W!Robin. So not only did I get a W!Robin to get my Lyn Brazen ATK/SPD, but now I have a W!Robin to go with my W!Lissa, H!Henry and Black Knight for Armor Emblem. And both H!Henry and W!Robin have Armor March.

Edit: Also, had I had Steady Breath and Aether for Nowi, she could probably solo even Lunatic 7 Tempest Trial. She's amazing with Forged Lightning Breath. I could give her Aether, but it would take her a long time to use it due to no Special Charge+1. The closest I could replicate Steady Breath is probably with +3 ATK and the Heavy Blade Seal.
But regardless, Nowi and Masked Marth have been doing most of the Auto-battling work. Brave Ike is doing okay, but he falls quicker due to not being boosted by TT compared to the last Trial, even with the Renewal 3 I gave him. And my Healer is a dumbass on Auto-battle.

Well it’s still a fake blade as it’s not a blade created in the way the lore shows they are made.

Also I know about salvagung for them. I wanted to get to level 13 just so I am at a more comfortable level.

Also do the common blades all look the same or not? Cause the common blade I have is kinda ugly.

 

[Deleted member]

The most successful and my favorite Wii U game is by far Smash 4. I still play it to this day and it is the only reason why I still use the Wii U .

Well, call it whatever you like, that said that artificial Blade is pretty handy and has personality too.
You don't really need to grind for level when you are on your own, once you complete Tora's artificial Blade, complete the story quest first, then it's easier to grind.

About how Blades are born or what Blade is, so far you are barely scratching the surface lol...
And about common Blades, they have different gender, looks, voice, elements and weapon class, besides that yeah they are pretty much the same.
In order to get rare Blades three things matters, ideas, type of core crystals, and... Luck...
Leveling up your idea by raising your current Blade's affinity, and also release the common blades that you don't want to get idea boosters.
There are three types of core crystals you can get from treasure boxes and monsters :Common, Rare, and Legendary. And then there specific core crystals that I will not go into further details.
Rare and Lengendary obviously have way more chance of getting rare Blades. But don't be too shock that you don't get one though(I still have yet to get a rare Blade from a legendary core crystal) , and yep, it also possible to get a rare Blade from common core crystals, also some rare Blades or core chips have the ability to raise your chance of getting rare items, but that's up to you to get them.
Also when you resonate, the game will automatically save your progress so keep in mind with that, and looking at the last flash of the silhouette when resonating can already tell you get a rare Blade or not...
Moreover,after you resonate a certainly amount of Blades, you can't resonate anymore, so you usually have to release some to continue to resonate.
Which rare Blades you will get are completely random, you may get what you want, or not..

Just some personal experience share, I haven't got my first rare Blade after finishing chapter 2, Gorg aka Reyn and Floren aka Venus Boy Trap (I actually got two a rare Blades merely after two resonate ) ,that when I started to do minor grind.

Field skills:
Some place, doors, treasure chest requires certain field skills, you can level up field skill by raising affinity. And yew, the levels can be piled up by individual Blades with the same field skills. (Ex: A wall needs Super strength lv 5 to break, just combine Blades with the same field skill and enough to meet the level) that said, some field skill are exclusive to certain rare Blades.
More to the rare Blades, I know somemdon't care about getting rare Blades, but nearly every rare Blades actually has their own Blade quest to complete, not going further details but some requires a certain progress of the story or raising to a certain affinity.
Rare Blades also have their own Heart to Heart, the driver to bond will have a bit different dialogue but overall the sequence are the same I have tried with saving the game and then overdrive to different members. Interesting is that in almost every rare Blade heart to heart I have seen, Tora will always take part in the conversation...
Oh yeah...
It is possible to transfer rare Blade to another party member by using a key item called overdrive protocol. It can be a bummer, but it's a bit understandable... In order to get overdrive protocol you have to find it or purchase season pass...

It's no surprise that manga does almost every thing better than the anime to me, and for reason they never make the Manga and not anime... If they did than Pokémon might just be one of the most awesome anime series rather than being popular.
And the German lyrics... As someone who listens to Hiroyuki Sawano's soundtrack everyday, I know where is it from lol.

Edit: And woah... the top middle panel... even though I know it's not like Pokemon manga has always been kid friendly... but they are slightly a bit overboard this time...

Boy, new legendary banner for Fire Emblem Heroes!

Fjorms big sister is here, and brings an sorta reverse bladetome, penalties on foes add to the damage of her. She's also a debuffer, so using her with Lute or Arvis is going to be fun. Also she's our first wind legendary hero.

The rest of the banner: Ryoma, Sigurd, Brave Roy, bunny Lucina, waifu Charlotte, Fjorm, bunny Chrom, Amelia, Innes, Elise and best girl waifu.

I'm here with 60 orbs, and I don't know if I should pull. Last time I wanted Celica and ended with 3 Ike's lmao. I'm interested in Gunthra, Elise, Amelia, Sigurd or Brave Roy. The rest I already have them or not care. Forgot to mention, it's a 8% banner with no pity breakers.

What to do...

Looks like an interesting banner, but for some reason I thought Gunthraá was somehow Fjorm's mother even if she's said to have died when Sutr invaded their kingdom. She looks interesting - Maybe she'll come in a story update too, but if I'm being honest, I just want Laevatein to join the playable ranks at one point.

Still, the other heroes are rather decent picks and none of them are at all in my collection. I'm just hoping for Innes or Easter Chrom/Lucina.

What to do...

Let's point out that Gunthra is actually our first new Green Tome Cavalry. For the longest time, Cecilia has been the only Green Tome Cavalry. Meanwhile, Leo still remains the only Red Tome Cavalry while Olwen, Reinhardt and Ursula are our Blue Tome Cavalries.

Either way, her weapon is definitely interesting. But holy cow that B-skill. That B-skill isn't Below 50%, it's Above 50%. And it affects the one with the lowest DEF. This is pretty much Anti-Mage, as plenty of Mages have low DEF. Delthea is the prime target, as she, alongside Lucius, has the lowest DEF, when not factoring in DEF Boon/Bane. Other big targets include Linde, Innes, H!Sakura, Sonya and Deirdre.
I also just realised that this was meant for Brave Lyn. In all of Horse Emblem, Brave Lyn is the Cavalry with the lowest DEF, even lower than Elise, Priscilla and Ursula who have 19 not counting DEF Banes. Thus Brave Lyn is the prime target of Chilling Seal when facing a Horse Emblem team and she gets a constant -6 ATK AND SPD penalty. That's pretty powerful.
Either way, yeah Arvis or Lute are good choices for Gunthra. Both can help with Ploying the enemy and cover both Red Tome & Blue Tome respectively while she covers Green Tome. HOWEVER, her most powerful allies are Dagger users and believe it or not, her most Powerful Ally is Saizo, who's Forged Smoke Dagger gives -6 to all Stats to the Target AND ALL ENEMIES WITHIN 2 SPACES. Seriously, Gunthra wants a bed with Saizo as anybody who Saizo hits will allow her to deal +30 Damage(when factoring from both her boost and from the enemy losing RES) to that enemy. That's insane.

Anyway, the Heroes alongside her are nice. Ryoma, Sigurd and Brave Roy are good Reds. Amelia's a great Green armor and S!Chrom also has good stats. S!Lucina is a fast Blue Tome user and B!Charlotte is a powerhouse. And Innes is a good Mage Killer, Elise is the best Cavalry Staff, having the best ATK out of all Horse Staves, and B!Lyn has Dazzling Staff, Candlelight and great Speed and good ATK. Also, because Innes is on the list. @Shishœ

Edit: I also realized that Chilling Seal is also the BIGGEST Finger to all users of Life & Death 3. Like wow, they definitely want to punish players who go for Glass Cannon.

 

[Chrono.]

Looking back at the DBFZ discussions, the Hit/Ginyu debate was probably my favorite part just because no one was 100% of who it was.

Yes, that indeed was Hit after all. Yes. Beerus was also in that shot as it was speculated.

Hilariously, Goku Black was also in that shot. But it was so distorted and warped that everyone just wrote it off as the then revealed Kid Buu until the higher quality scans showed up nearly a month after.

 

[Ivander]

So a couple of things: For one of them, there is a Official Survey from IS happening for Fire Emblem Heroes.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblem...ys_wants_us_to_do_a_survey_to_improve_future/
By what I've been hearing, besides Reddit being mentioned when asking people where they heard about the game, IS is apparently asking about potential modes for the future. Some ideas that were suggested include being able to battle players in real-time, a mode that allows you to build a town and make it bigger, and a mode where you build a town and defend it from other players and attack other player's towns.
The other big thing I heard about it is that they forgot to add FE7 to the Survey where it asks what is your favourite Fire Emblem game. Basically, the only Fire Emblem games listed are all the localised ones except FE7 or Fire Emblem in the West. So Sacred Stones, the Radiant games, Shadow Dragon, Awakening, Fates, Echoes and Warriors.

The 2nd thing is that the newest comic for FEHeroes has come out. And it's adorable.

Hero Refinement coming next: Bring a Masked Marth and Marth together to get a Lucina. Either way, it's Lucina being adorable.

 

[Kurri ★]

I'm still waiting for my Android 21, Videl, and Zangya announcements.

Only 18 more days till the beta, then the week after release.

 

[mario123007]

The most successful and my favorite Wii U game is by far Smash 4. I still play it to this day and it is the only reason why I still use the Wii U .

Actually Mario Kart 8 is the most successful game on the Wii U, but yeah Smash 4 was also one of the top 5.

I actually still want to buy Wii U a bit because I want to play Xenoblade Chronicles X, and even though my brother has a Wii U, but it's Japanese.
It's also a bit awful how Xenoblade X in my local game store sells at lowest about 15 US$.

What to do...

I'm not sure if I want to pull either.
Gunthraa is an amazing waifu, but the fact she's cavalry and comes with a skillset that requires a bit of teamwork makes her not really fit in my mostly Flier Emblem team, whereas I can also wait for a Flier Legendary Hero
On top of that, the boost she gives (Defense) isn't my cup of tea either.
She looks great if you make a team around her though,

For the regular units, only Spring Chrom catches my eye with his Axe Experience skill and Carrot Axe, whereas the next Legendary Hero banner will most likely feature Summer units. I can probably get more Fjorms on the eventual banner with Summer Corrin just as easily.
And it's not like the previous banner was very kind to me.

I might actually try to pair up Arvis and Gunthra, Dr.Arvis's healing also helps her stay in range of Chilling Seal.

Gunthra is definitely an unique addition, reverse Blade Tome promotes Dagger usage and the lowest Def thing targets Glass Cannons.
Thankfully, I think my unit with the lowest Def on my main team is Axezura so she can take the debuff for the team

[Knight Dude]

Yeah Spider Ball is actually an early game power up.

Far as I know, it's never been a late game power up even though it feels like one.

I think it was fairly late game in Prime 1, and maybe mid-game in Prime 2, as far as I can remember. And I don't remember if it was in Super, if it was, I somehow beat the game without it. I know it wasn't in Hunters.

I'm still waiting for my Android 21, Videl, and Zangya announcements.

Only 18 more days till the beta, then the week after release.

Can't wait for the beta either.

21 will probably be an unlockable fighter in the base game. I think Videl has a shot as DLC, maybe. Especially if the 4 "heroes" and "villains" thing ends up being true. Since the DLC will have 8 characters, and the roster layout splits good and evil for the most part. I've seen other people discuss this at least. Zangya probably ain't happening, though I wouldn't mind being wrong. Chances are the movies guys are gonna be Broly, Bardock and maybe either Janemba or Cooler.

I guess there's also guys like Roshi, Uub and Pan, if they feel like getting into GT for the latter two.

Ah whatever, there's too many good characters to pass up, I'm hoping it gets the Rev2 treatment and get some solid updates over time.

In Prime and Prime 2, it'll let you crawl up special wall/ceiling treads while using the Morphball. It's pretty useful. In Samus Returns, it seems to work on any dry solid surface. Since it'll only slip on some slime walls/ceilings.

For those who might just started Xenoblade Chronicles 2, this video might help you getting rare Blades more quicker, and don't worry this video is basically spoiler-free, main story at least.

It's always funny how he imply Floren as a "she", LOL. Even though he mentions in his comments that he know he was saying it wrong after the recording.
And I actually didn't look at this video until recently... but I already got plenty of rare Blades... and I got over 99 common core crystal after many battles and salvaging....
As for how do you open that door in the lower level of Mor Ardain... well...

Spoiler

Technically you don't really have to, just go to the upper level and go to the Old industrial District, you will see a stair that goes down, after going down a few stairs, avoid the Arachno and you will reach to Chansagh Wastes. Just beware... this area has plenty of high level monsters, so proceed here with caution.

To open the gate you need Anangham Gate Key, I am guess it's located in the old factory and at the Buldge Harbor.
Around here

The video basically just helped me get a Blade called Kassandra, you can actually know by getting the info...

Spoiler

Which says, "A monster that at e a famed driver has been seen in Chansagh Wastes", not really care if the famed driver is a he or she but I am curious whether we get to know about the famed driver a bit... and I though the famed driver's fate was a bit unfortunate. However after looking at one of Kassandra's awaken intro and one of her field skills... I am not surprised...

Here's more tips on combats...which are just merely my own experiences, some also applies to original Xenoblade as well

• Try to lure enemies, this way you can avoid hoards of enemies.
• I understand those who have played the first XC will criticize how inconvenient and sloppy the battle lock-on system is in XC2. I recently found out that you actually don't need to press A and engage in battle in order to choose which enemies you need to attack, simply press R and then hold R while press A or Y button. That said you still have to engage in battle and then cancel your engaging.... or just press X or + button to go into menus... unless the enemy has already targeting you... just... RUN...
• Avoid combating against multiple enemies, even those that are 10 levels lower than you, if it's same level as your crew, without enough healing driver and if the enemies have blowdown attacks chances are you will die quickly... that said here's a tip for dealing with hoard of enemies though... go for the enemy with the lowest level first...
• Pressing arts at the right time to trigger the good ring can be a bit tricky sometimes, trigger the ring will boost up your art effect, raise your special art faster and even give other arts some boosts. Rex's using Aegis is easy to grasp, but other weapons take time to grasp though...
• Before gauging in combat, don't forget to press ZR to switch Blades, picking which Blades to start is very important, and then which arts you use first. Etc, I sort of use Nia mostly because she has break art and it's easy to grasp the right timing.
• Pick your Blades wisely, it's not always inappropriate for one party member to have Blades with the same element, but it's better for every party members have different elements of Blades.
• It's even better if one crew pairs up a Blade with one element and other pairs up with the opposite elements, I'll explain why later
• Blades combos aren't hard to do once you memorize the paths, I recommend taking a screenshot once you do your first Blade special on every elements.
• In order to do Blade combos successfully and more quicker, once you memorize the path, pair up your starting Blades on each party members to make it easier to perform the combo. And once you finish a Blade combo the enemy will have certain arts or abilities sealed and has an element orb surrounding it.
• Notice that your Blade combo gauge is running out? Try to perform Break > Topple > Launch> Smash, which is the Driver combo, Driver combos are mostly not that new for Xenoblade veterans but the Driver combos are important because it once you do driver combo after Topple, you will drop HP potions everytimes, and obviously successfully performing Smash will give you a huge HP potion. And what's more, is it will extend the time of the Blade combo's gauge.
• Don't rush to perform the Blade special at the start... sometimes just wait for other members to charge up their special arts
• Always go for the special arts with the lowest level first... because even if you go with level III special art first you will still need level II special arts next, it won't be slow to charge up level two arts normally but that still means you waste you level III special art and wast time as well. This tip doesn't apply to when the character has no element that fits that path though...
• This is a better improvement from the original XC and that is the chance of getting another round of chain attack depends on how many element orbs you break. Every element orbs takes three hits to break, but if you perform special art that has to opposite element with the element orb it will break two (There are Aux Cores that one your Blade equipped it will instantly break the element orb if you hit the orb that has opposite element which can be very useful sometimes)
• I know you will be asking on which element is the opposite of which, the Bravery, Truth, Compassion and Justice idea chart is sort of a hint. Fire<>Water, Wind<> Ice, Electric<>Earth, and Light<>Dark
• There's also a gauge on the top left corner that racks up every time you break an element orb, once that gauge fills up the driver who breaks the element orb will do another huge special art attack, and the chain attack will end it seems...
• Don't forget to press B every time you are starting another round of chain attack, it will let the Blade you just used be able to use again.
• Switching Blades also has perfect timing and it will help racking up your special arts, and yes special art's level will still be saved even if you change Blades. And the Blade you switched will have all arts ready, so sometimes you can switch Blades to charge up your special art more quicker.
• Here's an easy perfect timing when Switching Blades, once you switch Blade immediately press any arts will have the perfect timing ring appear. This may not help much when you try it... but really in critical situations this really helps a lot.
• Classes really matters too, at least one party member must be all around healer... I go for Nia for most of the time, but I do give other members at least one healer Blade. That said, it's not always good for every member to be Jack-of-all-trades.
• Don't under-use Poppi... she's actually a very handy Blade... go play Tiger!Tiger! once a while to get parts and ethers.

Welps that's all the tips I can give, I know some of these might sound obvious... so feel free to give out your own tips.

Now take this guide with you and roam Alrest freely... until you finish chapter 4 I guess...

MHW isn t gonna look so good over there, I can tell

tl;dr
Nintendo Switch is on fire in Japan. Whether you like or dislike Nintendo Switch, you really can't deny that Nintendo Switch is in a really good shape right now.
Just a bit down that Xenoblade 2 didn't make it to top 20 this time... it's not even a month after its release though...
Also Splatoon 2 surpasses the first Splatoon's Wii U lifetime sales.
And Nintendo Switch also surpasses PS2's first year sales in Japan.
I actually have a PS2 (And a dust Japanese GC with controllers and cords...) right next to me... it was my brothers who set it up... and the only game they were playing was... "Checking the boxart"

- Fate Unlimited Codes
- MELTY BLOOD Actress Again...

@Shishœ and anyone ever heard of these two games?
As for Monster Hunter World.... actually I think Monster Hunter World will still sell big in Japan...
