I don't regret getting this game .
The game is good ( far from great ) but that's about it .

Xenoblade 1 is still my personal favorite among the blade series . And of course nothing ever came close to Gear and Saga 1

I was spoiled by all the God Tier jRPG like ToB , DQ11 and P5 last year 
P/S : The only god tier aspect is definitely Mitsuda-san 's musics , no doubt about that

How many blades you acquired? And how far in are you? 

Ah around this time i still can resonate with common cores to get rare blades 
sometimes if rng is kind you might get it.. but damn i also kinda have like love hate relationship with rng.
Legendary cores have given me just one rare blade so far.... i have more luck on common and rare cores 
Kos-mos doesn't exist for me sadly, I think it will be the last rare blade I get.

Also noticed you get Kasandra early, wish I knew about it sooner..... got her pretty late in the game.

Yeah field skill I also find it a bit of a problem. But got used to it at some point, after getting a lot of rare blades, not much of a hassle at least.

Just finished the story mode after 172 hours... Overall very enjoyable, but better get use to the combo & elemental things, you'll need it

I don't wanna spoil myself and such, so never looked into any guides when it comes to this game. Kinda like the surprise of seeing the rare blades for the first time. But yeah adter a while found out you can obtain a blade from side quest and what not, so I looked into it after having just a few left to collect.
How much would you rate this game, and what do you like the most about it?

you can go to Nintendo eShop to download the japanese voice dlc for free.
dont need to listen to the English dub as yea it suck lol

You have progressed really fast as someone who has started the game not too long ago O_o

Money can so easily be obtained anyway. You can make millions by just salvaging for an hour or less, even better income when you get the golden one. Easiest part to earn money by just salvaging is also reachable as early as Gormott. Haven't seen anyone complaining about not having enough money in the game. Just need to spend a little time to salvage, and they teach you how to get salvage pretty early too.

Regarding Aux material, so far no issue to refine the aux i want, even the hard one's. As long you as always collect whenever you stumble at collection points. Make it a habit of collecting stuff even when you don't need to. Even if you don't have the materials still just a little exploring will do anyway. It's part of how the devs wants you to explore the world, and also utilizing the blades with botany, agriculture, and the others.

Your game time shorter by 50 hours compared to mine. I finished around 120 hours and I really enjoyed it a lot.

Lol yeah too much double spinning edge 
Pretty cool tho, I use some comsumables to do that all the time. Saves time.

Regarding spoiler, I also feel the same regarding the ice thing. But i'm thinking it might be dlc related next time.

I'm thinking it might be explained in the dlc maybe. I really do hope so. Because it will definitely renew my interest to the game again.

Just finished chapter 1, and horrrrrryyyy... shee.....

This game is far more complex, I couldn't even understand about the combo parts (and there are even more to come!)

I was done around 120 hours. Still some side quest left, and like 4 rare blades I didn't get. Kosmos is non-existence, like what most said.. But there is always that lucky bastard who got her early lol.

I'm just planning to continue the game later when the expansion pass is out fully. Can't wait for more new blades in general, and hopefully some additional stuff for the story.. Hoping for after ending story and mission. Extended ending is always nice

currently at chapter 5.. what is the best way to farm rare cores? is salvaging the way to go?

i know it is easier to farm legendary cores postgame but what if i want to farm cores before postgame, which chapter should I be in?
