That’s what people say, anyway. I wouldn’t know, what with having done nothing but sidequests and exploration in Xenoblade Chronicles X for the past 40-something hours. I mentioned last time that I was going to do one story quest to unlock Skells, but I can’t for the life of me remember what that story was about. I did whatever it was, did some other quests, got my Skell and I LOVE THE SKELLS!
Yes, yes, I did say I didn’t want one. Dunno what I was smoking back then but it’s worn off and I can see the light. Having a Skell reminds me of Xenosaga. I haven’t thought about that series in a positive way in years, but the Skells gave me a warm fuzzy feeling for some reason. Giant mechas are just awesome! BOOM! KAPOW! WHOOSH! PEW PEW PEW! …and then my mecha gets destroyed because they’re not actually that strong. And also I got cocky and bit off more than I could chew. Wonder what happens when the Skell runs out of insurance, do they get scrapped permanently? @__@
Well, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Currently having tons of fun reaching places I couldn’t get to before and taking on some of the giant mobs in the field that I didn’t dare approach before. It’s interesting how some mobs ignore you when you’re on foot but attack if you’re in a Skell, and vice versa. Also I really like bullying smaller enemies in my big mecha, it’s just my thing. Especially invading fortresses with my crews and just blasting everything. POW! KA-BLAMMO! KA-PWING! <3 <3 <3
Wish I had more of an update to give today, but I really haven’t done anything new in XCX since the last update. I’m just going around doing missions, missions and more missions, dunno what else to say. Next time I load up the game, I’ll try to move the story forward a little bit, because I don’t want to end up like I did with Zill O’ll Infinite Plus or Frontier Gate Boost+ where I spent so much time on the sidequests that I couldn’t get the most out of the main game. Besides, I’ve explored a huge chunk of Oblivia now, so I’m ready to move on to Sylvalum properly and get more quests that way. More exploration = more quests = more money = better Skells! I need the big one that costs like 4 million credits, I just gotta have it.
Last note before I go: I’m enjoying getting various alien residents in New LA through sidequests. It’s interesting to see the streets getting livelier with all kinds of newcomers. I just wish they’d also come with expansions and new places to go, like the way the Ma-Non came with their ship, you know? I’ve never been to real-life LA, but I’m sure it doesn’t look this bleak and empty and sparsely populated. Not that I spend much time in New LA anyway, what with my busy schedule of picking on Prone and depopulating the rest of the planet. Colonizers gonna colonize. I’ll be back if anything happens after the next story update, otherwise just assume I’m busy grinding quests.👍
