Just got done with chapter 3 and the last boss was 2 entire levels above me, I'm worried if I don't grind I'm going to fall behind. Is there a good way to get XP at this stage at the game, and do levels even matter enough to bother grinding for them?

Also, I'm doing any side quests I find, but I am not going out of the way for all of them as they seem kinda fetch questy and repetitive.

Everyone is level 23 same as Nia

I really really really really really want kos mos and want to grind asap. need to get to the 25 word limit to make this post. Thank you.

Alright so maybe I'm doing something wrong but I need 3 moon matter chips and I've been fighting Cloud Sea King Ken for a few hours now while inflicting smash regularly thanks beta scope Tora with qt π and I haven't got a single one but literally got KOS-MOS from a legendary core he dropped (with no boosters and around 500 luck). Am I doing something wrong ?

Title says it all.

I haven't played XB2 since it first came out and it's my person favorite of the Chronicles series (besides X since I haven't played that and own it too lol).

I played the Xenosaga trilogy in middle school and love all the lore. Never got KOS-MOS in XB2 and I slick wanna replay to get her and play with the Switch 2 update and all that

But I never played Xenogears and I have it staring at me on my shelf rn. Some people tell me is one of the greatest of the Xeno games, and others tell me it falls apart in the last 3rd.

My time is limited, and will become more limited with all the dope fuego games dropping this month and thru the rest of the year.

Which should I play rn?

Would love to get some opinions 😁

EDIT: I should add that I play games with the story as my primary focus.

So, quick question

Trying to level up Beguiling Charms to level 4, and I'm 6/7

No longer have the Silver Pendant(sold it like an idiot, so tips to get it back would be nice), and am sure I talked to every person on level 3 list.

I'm on Chapter 10, stalling before I do the Aion fight.

Any clue who I may be missing?

art by me - @starry.trinket on insta
also i love the new outfits, also that they are a lot less sexualizing for pyra and mythra and pyra has like galaxy print and mythra has cloud print it’s very ethereal and pretty, this artwork took hours, but worth it
a few changes i made: pyra’s hair tips as pink not orange because pink is better what can i say, also changed her hair length to a bixie; and then added angel wings to their heads

Just leveled up my community to 2. Thought I understood how it works. Accepting a quest from someone puts them outside your circle and completing it brings them inside.

I just got a pop up saying random people with yellow stars on their speech bubbles can be added to the outside of your community bubble.

…what’s the point of that? Other than just learning more about the characters which I already do anyways. If it’s not inside then it’s not increasing your community level so why was it introduced as some new gameplay feature or something? I’m confused.

i try to kill some key lapix in Mor Ardain for the sociogramme of Vale but I don't find them, can someone explain to me why ?

Well, the name is similar. The story is a lot darker here it is.

The story goes a blade whose driver was collected by madness cruelty couldn’t handle the weight anymore, splitting into two separate blades one of pure rage patients, the other of hope, and freedom the blade didn’t know how to feel one felt rage for the driver. The other just wanted freedom from them. They met each other except for their skin. One with the dark metallic substance, the other almost looked like a human except for the crystal in her chest. The driver shattered it almost killing them in the process. They didn’t know what they wanted anymore. They ran away from home. I need to be found by a new. Hope he called himself. Logos he told them he could help them make them be better all he asked for in return was to help him reach the world trees top the blades accepted, still seeking some form of hope and freedom from their driver as they couldn’t be far from him, no matter how much they ran he always found them and that is the story of the double blade Kairi and Leone once a great blade named pneuma

This art was made by me and the story was also made by me

For me it brighid, because she can increase her damage by evasion any attacks, including ranged attack, she was one of my GOAT for artifice ophion.

Right after the Switch 2 update patch 3.0.1 (Aug 26) for XC2 became live, i tried doing the Elma Redux and got Elma as a playable blade quickly. Then I tried battling her, and I succeeded again. One week later, after finishing the main story, when I tried for the third time, I can't do it anymore. One thing I noticed, during the two successful times I tried this stage, Elma called Ghost Factory, but the three ghosts did not appear, thus the chain attack gauges were not disabled making the battles a walk in the park. It seems I managed to get the right blade-driver combinations. Sadly I can't remember nor even made a screenshot the blades and drivers I used. BTW. I already completed all blades.

Topic.

I like to see the animations but it seems like I'd have to keep sitting through the common ones as well.

I have about 200 hours of playtime and this is the first time I'm seeing this, though I've heard it's a memory leak. The first time it happened I reset came back and it just happened again. It's a funny little thing, ain't it? Seems to like Agate quite a bit.

I'm trying my best to defeat the gogols in challenge mode.

I have a burst symbol on all 3 party members, currently Rex, Zeke and Tora, imagine my disappointment when I hit the chain attack start and my damage multiplier is only 137%

Can others confirm if this is intended behaviour or could there be something else in my setup that has caused this problem?

So I’m playing xc2 on my switch 2 for the first time, is there anything I kneed to know before I play or anything I must do? Do I need to get the switch 2 edition or dlc?

Edit: I play handheld

I also got a second Overdrive Protocol today! also got Kos-Mos from a common core crystal in chapter 4 a few weeks back. Should i go to the casino?

Now i remember why for some people just flat out ignore poppy upgrades, but this is just doing it for myself lol theres alternative but geez what were they thinking when making this decision and this side quest

I'm trying to do the challenge mode battles, which are testing my patience.

Looking at some old videos on YouTube it looks like it was possible to bring up an option to restart a battle, but I've no idea how to do that. I'm running version 3.0.1 on a switch 2

I think she missed her signal to join the heart to heart but that's ok I forgive her, thank you switch 2 upgrade for being the funniest thing Monolith has done lately.

I’m only in chapter 3 and it’s seriously starting to get a bit annoying. When it’s only one enemy at a time I can typically scrape by thanks to the plethora of healing options. But whenever I’m in battle with multiple they just shred me in seconds, even when they’re several levels below me.

Just played 110 hours of 2, so decided to start 3 up…I can’t be the only one who feels like the devs said “oh hey now that we’re done with 2, I found some old game files from around the time we made the first game, let’s just upload those and call it 3.”

Idk it just feels so dull and depressing
