Finished Chapter 4 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. The main story is very interesting, very excited to see how the story develops.

Now doing the affinity missions. All the ones I meet requirement and recommended level for. I would have been much further but I got stuck on a quest, umm… Repair something, Lin’s affinity quest. It required White cosemite or something, and I had no FN that was generating it, so took me a while to get all 5 of those. I am still not sure which probes to place where, currently I am going with the stats of FN, if production is high, I go with mineral, and if revenue is high, go with research, but pretty much every FN in primodia has lower revenue stat than production one.

Also not too sure about AMs, I have been investing miriam in it, since I never have enough items to develop any new equipment. And since equipment changes soon enough I am not sure if it’s worth spending on upgrading them. So keep investing so that I don’t hit the limit (which I have increased twice by using Storage probes. Any suggestions?

And can I sell all the low level stuff I have? Or is it useful somewhere? Always think about looking it up then forget.

Oh, and I love the sound tracks! Someone poke Nintendo to add all Xenoblade tracks in their Nintendo Music app.

Started Dragon Age: The Veilguard last weekend, and just didn’t feel like playing it. Chances are I may delete it if I feel the same this weekend.

So, downloaded TOEM and finished that. Got the Platinum and completed the free DLC too. A very nice, cozy game. You go from level to level helping different people by taking pictures or doing some small tasks. Each level is small and divide in diaorama-ish looking screens. (I am not great at explaining things, am I?)

Art style is monochrome-ish, but very clean. Music and sound effects are also very nice.

Highly recommended for cozy game fans.

Well, that’s about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    Interesting. And I agree that traversal speed is pretty good, though I can’t recall how it compares with other games in the series.

      Found a video of someone who did their best measuring the worlds of the Xenoblade series. They meme a bit about XC2 being the biggest if you include the Cloud Sea, but put the real measurements at the end.

      Their results, in square kilometers:

      • XC1 28.83
      • XC2 21.10
      • XC3 40.62
      • XCX 355.78

          That’s including “explorable” water/cloud sea portions for all games, but even if you cut down to just the landmass the XCX map is still around 100 square kilometers… and that’s not counting the parts of the map that have several “layers” like mountains, caves and floating islands.
