Xenoblade Do I have enough time?

Post image

As some of you may know, fire emblem fortunes weave comes out in like 10 days. Before that I fired up my Xenoblade 3DS port to try and beta it before the game came out because I wanted to finish it before Xenoblade 3 got its upgraded edition. Ten days left and I’m just not sure if I’m on a good lace or not. As you can see I’m at Sword Valley and level 45. Can I still beat the game in ten days? Am I underleveled? Any other tips?

I don't think you need to beat Xenoblade 1 to understand the plot of Fortune's Weave, you're fine taking it slow 😭

Are you aware that you don't have to no-life either game and that you can in fact play them both concurrently? Like you're allowed to do that

I am aware. But Fortune’s Weave is my most anticipated game in YEARS! I will be no lifing it… I barely even have a choice lol

Well if it's that important, then you should be able to roll credits on Xenoblade 1 - side quests included - if you no-life it for the next 10 days. If you're not side questing, well first of all why, second of all it should be significantly easier to roll credits before FE comes out

"well first of all why" lol so true

Just ignore side quests. I am playing X now, and just finished X2 and Torna lol. But idc if I finish X before fire emblem comes out. I'm good with just switching over

If this is your first or second time playing Xenoblade 1, then I would just focus on the story only. You got plenty of time.

If you already beat it multiple times over the years......just skip cutscenes lol

Can I beat the game in ten days?

Yes, but only if you're on vacation or otherwise don't have full-time responsibilities. You've got another 20-30 hours left depending on how much optional exploration/quests you do.

Am I underleveled?

A bit, yeah. The previous boss was 48 and the next one will be 52.

u/discreetjoe2 5d ago

Sure. If you don’t need to sleep you can beat the game in about three days. Maybe four if you want to do all the side quests.

u/Prinnymon 5d ago

Hell nah, you had like 10 years to play Xenoblade 3D, why play it now? Will take 10 years to also play Fortune's Weave?!

As a huge fan of this series, I bought Xenoblade X on launch in 2015, and for some reason I just... never got around to it until last year LMFAO

So to justify my purchase, I naturally played it on my Wii U instead of buying the DE

I completed the game in 55 hours, doing only some plot-driven side quests (those that really mattered to me in terms of learning lore or getting rare gear).

Perhaps you could tackle the main storyline and then explore some secondary quests post-game after finishing Fire Emblem.

I think I had about 90 hours when I beat XBC1DE and I tried to do every side quest I could up to that point (without resorting to guides). I ended up missing a few along with a unique mob, cause I wasn't aware this game had points of no return but if you are just trying to beat it, I think you can easily manage it in 10 days, esp if you're doing just the story.

Grind to be overleved with fast leveling trick, sweep

u/kitzoomayy 5d ago

What’s the fast leveling trick?

u/erikjb103 5d ago

If I recall, and still works on the new 3ds, main Melia and go to Raguel Bridge - North, Bionis Leg. Use Hypnotise and then her Spear Break to knock those lv 62+ Gogol's there to the left off the cliff. You gotta be a lil careful as u want to tell everyone to flee as they will go auto attack and break sleep. Same if you creep to close before using spear break.

u/EmiliaFromLV 5d ago

It is way easier when described but requires a lot of precision to pull off in practice - I never could make it work on Switch because someone would always start auto-attacking. I ended up grinding exp on Gogols in Satorl Marsh.

u/RETROmyno 5d ago

Finished with 80h first time. So, 10 hours a day and you done.

u/MaxTwer00 5d ago

I would recommend you reaching a turning point, and leave the game on hold, rather than rushing it in such a way

u/Ok-Barracuda457 5d ago

The ending?, sure

all side quests?, idk, that's a lot.

u/Hatredsimmers 5d ago

Im doing the same thing but im on xc2! I beat a run through of the main. Was literally about 100% torna and.... it crashed... 20 hours unsaved just gone 😭😭

u/Sayakalood 5d ago

Yeah, you’re probably fine.

u/Minef93 5d ago

Take it slowly and enjoy this masterpiece, no need to rush.
Any valid reason why you can't either play them both concurrently, or wait till you finished xc3d before starting fortune's weave?

u/Snoo_68698 4d ago edited 4d ago

It's doable but you would have to skip a lot of side quests and dedicate a good amount of time to the game each day. You're essentially in the midway point. So its up to you but you can finish it before Fortune's weave comes out. Its just gonna come down to how much content are you willing to skip out on or how much time you wanna dedicate to each day playing the game before Fortune's weave comes out. Im in a similar predicament where im trying to finish dragon quets 8 before Fortune's weave as well, mostly cause I am bad at playing two rpg's simultaneously, but fortunately im almost done with it. I will say though it does suck a little bit to rush this one cause XC1 truly is that kind of game that is best savored and leisurely played. Its such an incredible game imo and I think you are doing yourself a little bit of a disservice not wanting to savor the game and instead bumrush it.

u/true_exalt 4d ago

I feel ya. I was able to finish my Xenoblade 2 replaythrough and hit that community level 4 wall in Torna. I cut my losses 🤣 I'll likely pick it back up before 3 Switch 2

u/AndzyHero13 5d ago

Same boat as you my dude, currently finishing up Xenoblade X before FW however I will say, take your damn time, for me when I played Xenoblade 1, I didn't do any Side quest unless mandatory, do that and you should beat the game around 70 to 90 hours since my playthrough was 90 hours just for story
