Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Elma's Alrest Tour

[@xeno6773]

Elma making all these references to X’s many unanswered questions is like dangling a holographic carrot in front of a horse’s face

[@Lampent12]

Now if the Nopon Archsage could just port them all to Smash Ultimate, that'd be just dandy. But for real, this Archsage is turning into quite the important character, even if it is all non-canon. I doubt we've seen the last of him, even after the XC2 DLC ends.

[@sarthakverma1030]

Yeah. He came back in XCDE apparently lul. Now I await him in XC3.

Yup. Maybe theyll even mention ontos being the reason why people were able to come back. At least thats what i think

I’m surprised they didn’t have a chat between KOS-MOS and Fiora, they’ve met before.

[@Trakker1985]

Its crazy to think now you can have Shulk, Elma and Kos-mos equipped on Rex as Blades, meaning you have a party comprised of Xeno protagonists from the last 16 years =P If only i could actually pull frigging Kos-Mos from a core! >=(

[@Im_Just_A_Dreamer]

Trakker1985 Funny... I pulled KOS-MOS while trying to get Azami so I could finish a certain quest! I... still don't have Azami, btw...

[@gamester512]

Don't count on getting KOS-MOS any time soon. She has the absolute worst summon chance of any Rare Blade in the game at a pitiful 0.1%.

[@gamester512]

That likely wouldn't help. You'd most likely just get all of those release Rare Blades before KOS-MOS. Myself, I currently have all but 3 Rare Blades that you can get from Core Crystals: KOS-MOS, Akhos, and Cressidus. The only other Rare Blade I am missing is Poppi Buster (since I can't get a giant Megalance Common Blade to save my life)

[@TheWindsofWonder]

Instead of farming a crap ton of core crystals, focus on getting max luck on one of your drivers. That involves getting common blades with 20+ % luck mods and getting the best luck boosting items in the game. I finally pulled KOS-MOS when I managed to get Zeke to 999 luck. If you have 999 luck and can farm 99 are core crystals and 99 legendary core crystals, I don't see too much stopping you from getting KOS-MOS.

[@TheWindsofWonder]

There are also lots of awesome, core crystal farming methods out there. Most just involve getting a bunch gold chips and performing a break/topple/launch/smash combo on the Relentless Arduran. But if you killed him, before reaching Level 99 there are plenty of other enemies that are good for core farming.

[@CoolPika]

So Shulk and Elma are pretty clueless to what alrest actually is. What's interesting is Elma knows nothing about the World Tree (The Beanstalk) or what it's purpose was. She never even figured out that Alrest and Earth is the same place. It's probably because she never saw the land of Morytha.

[@ryanharris8280]

CoolPika Ikr! I wanted them to go to Land of Morytha, or have a convo with Klaus about the other universe

[@CoolPika]

Ryan Harris You know thats what I thought when going through the convos I was thinking there would be a convo in the land of morytha. Even with the world tree i would of thought there would be some kind of response. I also did try bringing Shulk to Klaus and talk to him no dialouge change. I'm guessing Monolith was trying not give out so many hints that could invole another game that's just what I think though

[@MrSentinel07]

UGH! I swear, this entire tour just continuously poked at all the unanswered questions XCX left. :D Come on Takahashi! I want answers! Be it in a sequel or whichever!

[@KingX]

I'll accept nothing less than an actual sequel. :P

[@Soulferno]

If there was anyone who wants a direct sequel to X more than any X fan out there its the man who made the game. The story was supposed to be more than what we got but due to all the multiplayer aspects that were made, everything about it was cut in half hence all the cliffhangers. He clearly wants to continue X as the sibling series to the numbered games. Everyone's wants a switch port of X and I say no. X2 is what we need more than anything. Hopefully the last scene between the Xeno heroes means just that. And maybe some indication of more Smash presentation too(one can dream)

[@andresmarrero8666]

@@Soulferno Xenosaga also needs to be completed, it was only done halfway. Perhaps they can complete both through a massive Xeno crossover game or games? I would expect things to get really complicated real quickly.

[@Soulferno]

@@andresmarrero8666 I've never played the series. But it would be pretty great to get a collection. And HD one perhaps. I'd love a chance to play them altogether

[@gamester512]

I'm pretty sure the original developer for Xenosaga has confirmed that he is very much interested in at least releasing a Remaster of the Xenosaga trilogy.

[@peytonmccrary661]

You know, based on that last party chat about how KOS-MOS, Shulk, and Elma were all brought together on Alrest with Rex and the Nopon Archsage had something to do with it, I can't help but feel that the Archsage was the one who turned KOS-MOS and T-ELOS into blades.

[@andresmarrero8666]

He probably also sealed their memories as well.

[@craigdellicarpini772]

Andres Marrero I doubt it. It’s established that no one can modify KOS-MOS’s memories, not even her creators. This KOS-MOS is also notably v2, which would imply this KOS-MOS would not have met T-elos in the first place. KOS-MOS was also seen drifting to Lost Jerusalem, last we saw. This is likely a reincarnate of the identity known as KOS-MOS, and T-elos is here because they were made into one, but reincarnated separately.

[@blee7442]

Man. I love how they made a scene involving KOS-MOS, Shulk, and Elma. That's really cool. Makes me wonder if they'll bring a xenogears character as a dlc blade here and have all four interact with each other once would be really awesome!

[@Elegies22]

They confirmed no more blades after elma

[@ryanharris8280]

blee7442 square Enix won’t let them do it, because while xenogears is the first project, it’s technically owned by Square Enix, while everything xenosaga and after is Monolith

[@blee7442]

MortumInfinitum That could be true, but that does make me curious if there will be new blades after the DLC story is released will they be exclusive to the main story, dlc story, or both?

She's really popular, and her moveset would be interesting. I'm just wondering if her overdrive gimmick can be used in Smash somehow. Her Final Smash could be a skell nuke.

[@kyurei4478]

Yes. Rex & Pyra/Mythra too obviously. It could be interesting to add the affinity mechanic in their moveset in some way. I would love to have the final blow against Aion in the Pneuma form as their Final Smash (even if it's a tiny spoiler) ;)...But they spoiled mecha Fiora anyway.

[@patee1566]

i would classify pneuma as a larger spoiler then fiora 2/7 , since the first xenoblade has been out far longer than this xenoblade , so mabye it could change to burning sword or sacred arrow depending if you are using pyra or mythra

[@chroniclej2439]

But what about KOS-MOS......

[@kyurei4478]

alex perry: Sure. But I prefer to be a little spoiled with an amazing final smash than having a okay final smash. Because if you want to play the game, you'll know this secret anyway in the end. And if Rex & Pyra/Mythra are included as a DLC, maybe the game will be old enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@alexhuff357]

Me too…and for KOS-MOS being required just to complete Elma’s affinity chart is beyond vexing, especially since she’s the last rare blade that I have yet to awaken. I’ve been trying to raise the luck stat for one of my characters as high as I can in my standard game, to then try to awaken her from a rare or legendary Core Crystal, with help of some Justice Boosters, but practically every time, I’ve been getting nothing but common blades over and over to where I had to release a fair amount of them, just to make room. Since there’s only a 0.5% chance of getting KOS-MOS while at maximum luck, and having nearly all the rare blades in the game, I so damn hope that’ll actually get her in my New Game Plus Run.

She was talking about the Hero. He was originally the main character of X in the first versions of the game.

You can search on this site for materials/monster hunting in general: xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Xenoblade_Chronicles_2 For some entries it's vague just giving the titan, for others it gives better specifics.

[@adamrhodes9533]

So does Sacred Arrow work in the Elma Redux mission?

[@KingX]

Corvin is probably the best blade for that mission. Assigned to Morag or Zeke it's pretty much a joke (you'd control whichever driver has Corvin on). With Mythra you'd want a dark blade to Seal Reinforcements and make sure you don't break that orb until you're ready to finish off. Mythra at this point can spam Sacred Arrow until all the ghosts die.
