AAAAAAAAAHHH! I finally truly completed Xenoblade DE! (100% Acheivements)

Holy crap that was torturous.
I mean, defeating 1000s of enemies, pressing a button before battle 100s of times, seeing 12:00AM to 5:00AM for over 300 days...
It was as grindy as it gets.

And the worst part? You don't know how far you are. There is no counter for, like, how many enemies you have defeated. You just have to keep on defeating them.
Heck, for all you know, you could be doing it wrong and the counter isn't even going up.

However, since you can modify your own levels now, stuff like dying a whole bunch of times and all are much easier to do.
It was still hell though!

Xenoblade DE: Stories Completed + Short Final Thoughts

Yeah, you might have been wondering where I disappeared to. That's because I was taking my sweet time to do EVERYTHING possible in the game.
I completed all of the quests in the DE-added story and then completed the story. After that, I started the main game and so far, I have beaten the main story, but I have not completed all of the quests, as I am still Level 90 and can't beat the quests involving higher-level enemies.

Overall, 20 hours for the Future story + 80 for the Main story, totally 100 hours. But of course, I'm still going to continue playing for a while to beat more of the game, such as the Lv100+ Uniques.

Of course I bought it! ( ･´ｰ･｀)

I've been too busy actually playing the game, but of course I bought Xenoblade DE on its release day.
Well, technically, I used my remaining Nintendo Ticket (the thing you buy and can later trade for games) to DL it.
Since I've already beaten the game before (in the original version), I went ahead and am playing through the new additional scenario.

Xenoblade 2 Official Artworks!!!

Uooohhhhhhhhhhh!!! It finally arrived!
As you may know, this item was so popular that not only did they change the release date, but at one time, you couldn't even preorder it online. But I pre-ordered it before any of that happened. Yeah, I'm just bragging here, so that isn't too important.

Anyways, I wanted to briefly go over the contents of the book and point out a few parts I liked.
Now yes, you can probably illegally get scans on the web, but as with most of these books, you are missing out on being able to see the images in big, real size and not across your monitor.
So make sure you get a copy yourself. It is only like the best RPG since... ever (exaggeration).

Also... I guess NSFW?
Also, there are a lot of images.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna Main Story Finished!

I still have to beat the extra Unique/Named monsters, but at least I cleared the main story before Smash Bros. To be honest, I was slightly hesitant to do so, because you know... *sigh*

Anyways, thoughts and obviously spoilers below...

Xenoblade 2 Soundtrack Delivered!

Uoooohhhhhh!!! It's finally released! A whopping 6 CDs worth of the game's awesome music.
And dang, some cars only allow one CD at a time. Cars that can hold 6 CDs are gold with this thing, imagine driving long hours and going through the entire soundtrack without having to remove and replace the inserted CD.

And yes, shamefully, I was not able to buy the USB version. The CD version is honestly more usable for me, but you know, as a fan and all...
But at least I was able to get the deluxe CD version.

Images and a few thoughts below...

Xenoblade 2: Thoughts on Rare Blades

My thoughts on all of them, not including the Main Story ones, now that I have gone through all of their Blade Quests + Kizuna Talks.
And I've actually gone through all of the Unique Monsters too, so I can finally go and make that "All of my Game Over" videos I wanted to make. I still have to do the grinding type stuff for various Rare Blades and I definitely have not done all the missions, so I'm not at 100% yet, of course.

BTW, the thoughts are fairly short, but they are what I first think of when I think of each one.
In general, the common theme of memory is persistent... and good, as that is also a main theme of the main story.

...Nia is best girl.

Xenoblade 2: Main Story - Complete! + Thoughts

I had thought about completing the story once I got all of the Rare Blades, but after realizing I'm gonna have to grind until my entire body grinds into pieces, I gave up and went ahead and beat the main story.
One reason for this is that I didn't want to over-level for the main story, so I couldn't just level up and fight the higher Unique monsters that gave high-level Core Crystals. But now that I've beaten the game, I can just go ahead and sleep and level-up.

I do have spoilers, including end-game ones, but to be honest, it's been almost 2 months and it was a worldwide release. I'm not even sure I should care about it.

PS: I'm not going to search each of the characters' localized names one by one while writing this, so I'm going to use the Japanese/Romanized names.
PSS: I'll make a separate post on Rare Blades once I collect all of them...

"Yeah I'm still alive" Post

I'm just too busy playing Xenoblade 2. I'm not just going straight through the story, occasionally stopping to do some quests or learn about the Rare Blades through their quest and all, so yeah, I'm on Chapter 9 and have used over 150 hours.

Do I need to explicitly say how great this game is?

UoohhhhH! Xenoblade 2uuuuuu!

By sacrificing some of my sleep time, I was able to finish the game (once) before Xenoblade 2 reached me!
And yes, this is the JP version of Xenoblade 2!

But why? Are there not JP dubs available in the localized version?
Yes, but I cannot bear reading those English names and as stuff gets lost in translation, it is always best to play in the original language if possible.

PS: I learned Japanese. Not my 1st language or anything.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Main Story Complete + Thoughts

I'm using the wording "Thoughts" instead of "Review" just cause I felt it was more fitting. And there are spoilers. Though this is an old game now and I think most people already know what happens in the story.
Anyways, my thoughts on here and that and everything.
In short, it was good, but I like the original Xenoblade better. But it still is generally great. Buy it. (Duh?)
