Thanks to this thread I just bit the bullet and purchased a Wii U so I can play this game.

Yeah but apparently they didn't add it until half way developing the game, I think they originally wanted you to play as Elma and it kind of shows. Remember reading about it a while ago, it's not a big deal just odd.

Still loving the game despite it, currently on chapter 6.

I would have had no problem with this except if she was what she is, I would have disliked playing her class. That'a about the only thing I would have had a problem with.

(And that makes sense with the lone hero and two female main characters, I wonder if they didn't think another male was strong enough to be the lead, or a Lead. Interesting.)

Is this an action RPG? The little bit of what I've seen (including ambiance and story of relocating to another planet) reminds me of PSO.

You drive a skell yet?

I have the mission, but I've been closing out side missions and I just built my first sniper.

Also, A major point I like is the setting to overrides the auto shutoff for the wiiu. I'll leave it on every couple of days to accumulate mining miridium and cash. I gave a feeling late game skell improvements will be obnoxiously expensive. And it makes all the time I've spent finding and installing mining probes worth it

No, but can't wait. I'm taking my time. Plus, in a game like this my two biggest downfalls are character class customization and exploration. I might never finish this game

Good idea for cash, but miranium has a limit and mostly I just want to invest it into some weapon manufacturers.

It's even more of a hybrid, but that's a close definition yes.

It has some of that flavor, and I only played PSO briefly.

Tell me about it. I have 7 level 10 classes. After watching The Force Awakens I'm now working my way to Blast Fencer because I want to use a lightsaber.

Well it's called a photon saber, but it's a handle with a beam laser blade coming out of it that retracts when you don't use it.

It's basically a lightsaber. And you can build your own and customize it's attributes. So.......

It's a giant wii U title.



The handhelds won't be able to play those kind of games for at least another 15-20 years.

Just got it, but after hitting COmmando for a few levels, I shifted to Enforcer and Blast Fencer because Galactic Knight looks like my kind of class.

Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my favorite games and I was going to buy a Wii U at some point after Zelda came out so this just prompted me to buy it earlier than I was anticipating.

So I wasn't aware there was character customization in this game. I just got even more hard. I have an 8 hour drive in front of me before I can play this
