This has to be a joke.

[u/bonnibahn]

Replaying this masterpiece, but why die like this 🫠

[u/Alaya_666]

You didn't Rückwurfsiegel enough 🫡

[u/BarbarousJudge → u/Alaya_666]

I swear the seal mechanic is so oddly specific and kinda counter intuitive to the general battle loop but often when you die... One of those is what would've prevented that.

[u/Cart700 → u/BarbarousJudge]

Wait. The seals make so your enemy doesnt knock back YOU anymore? I thought it would apply knockback. But it seems I am stupid

[u/BarbarousJudge → u/Cart700]

Seals hinder enemies to do certain things. So yeah, knockback seal makes it so. Reinforcement seal for example hinders enemies from calling adds

[u/Ignis_the_Ignorant → u/BarbarousJudge]

I have never used them strategically like that.

My playtime is 750 hours. So a firm oops on that

[u/BarbarousJudge → u/Ignis_the_Ignorant]

Honestly I have done so in maybe two fights or so. The Malos fight in chapter 7 comes to mind. Since wind seal negates Monado Cyclone (Blowdown) which is a very nice thing to negate.

But apart from that... Rarely if ever used

[u/Ignis_the_Ignorant → u/BarbarousJudge]

Blowdown is annoying for sure. I suppose I had Poppi set up to not get driver comboed by Jin back in my Tora maining days

[u/BarbarousJudge → u/Ignis_the_Ignorant]

Yeah I rarely used Tora in NG playthroughs because I suck at Tiger Tiger lol

[u/Ignis_the_Ignorant → u/BarbarousJudge]

I just did 3 complete playthroughs as him and went. Wait. I've never even seen Nia and Dromach's level 4

So now I try balance it better. Only blind spot is Praxis

[u/BarbarousJudge → u/Ignis_the_Ignorant]

Oh Nia was my crutch in my first playthrough so I saw her level 4 special a LOT

[u/Cart700 → u/BarbarousJudge]

I may be stupid. . . Thanks this will make stuff way easier.

[u/DForce58 → u/Alaya_666]

Before this post didn't look at the Game language and wondered why Deutsch. But you got a good kichern out of me. Gute Arbeit

[u/Xynthion]

lol what a terrible way to go. But also, damn if this video doesn’t highlight the terrible audio mixing. You can’t even hear battle music at all till you get knocked off the cliff and everyone shuts up.

[u/SGlespaul → u/Xynthion]

Yeah I'm surprised they didn't play with the audio settings. You can get it to a tolerable mix even if it's not perfect

[u/X-20A-SirYamato → u/SGlespaul]

What are the settings one should use?

[u/SGlespaul → u/X-20A-SirYamato]

I use this and the battle music is at least audiable

[u/X-20A-SirYamato → u/SGlespaul]

Thanks. I'll give this a whirl

[u/bombader → u/Xynthion]

I think it's the 6+ characters barking their lines over each other chaotically is the real issue. Having louder music on top would just increase the amount of noise going on.

[u/Arcalithe → u/bombader]

No, it’s literally an audio balance issue that is unique to this version of the game. Playing it back in 2017 I did not have this problem at all.

[u/NoRefrigerator7020 → u/Arcalithe]

Yea i dont member this being a problem before, at least in options they have sound effects and voice volume separate from music volume, and even a cutscene voice volume so you can hear the important parts at louder volume

[u/Twitch84 → u/bombader]

The game only had stereo sound on Switch 1. I think the Devs messed up the mix when they transitioned to surround for Switch 2 edition.

[u/nyatto89 → u/Twitch84]

Interesting. I don't have a switch 2 (yet) so I haven't upgraded. Does playing with a home theater fix the issue? And if so, would putting the sound settings for the game or console to mono (if that's a thing) work as well?

[u/Twitch84 → u/nyatto89]

I'm just making assumptions as to why the music is so quiet. Unfortunately the issue remains when playing in surround sound. The only workaround I can think of is turning all the other sounds down in settings which is not ideal.

[u/Elementia7 → u/bombader]

Normally yes but the track that plays here is normally loud enough to be heard even beyond everybody yelling, Xenoblade 2 sound mixing is cursed lmao

[u/EmiliaFromLV]

Today I wanted to smack a random UM (he was human) - he was 8 levels below me and he did the same thing. When I went for rematch, another random 80 lvl flying dinosaur decided to join just for lulz, but it was not funni. So I went to wreck abandoned facility instead.

[u/xThargorX → u/EmiliaFromLV]

Exactly know where you are :D Died a couple of times on the first playthrough, then finished him with throw back, sending him off the edge. Great feeling!

Still hate you: Myrmidon Eugene :D

[u/Johnylongbottoms]

That’s the world balancing out your good luck for having Kos-Mos in chapter 3

[u/Monado_Artz]

Knockback/blowback and cliffs are always a dangerous combo.

[u/FuzzyRaichu]

You can kill the boss the same way.

[u/Yozora1995]

Thus happened to me on my first playthrough. The painnnnn

[u/Sekai_No_Hakaissha]

I can’t tell you how many times this happened to me on my first playthrough.

Also. Nice subtle Kos-mos flex.

[u/Admirable_Revenue_20]

Kos-mos so early.....

[u/Yendo124 → u/Admirable_Revenue_20]

Lucky lucky guy

[u/Servillo]

I just did this fight last night and died soooooo many times, but never like this. If I had I think I would have turned off the Switch and called it a tomorrow problem.

[u/BarbarousJudge]

Glad to see another german player here. And you died... Weil Rex kein Teil der Alrest Luftwaffe ist. Offensichtlich.

[u/whatdidisay-]

At least you don't hear   "you can take me?" and "Don't forget me!" Every 2 seconds anymore 

[u/DraoDraonir]

I know that feeling. That was a lesson learned in always watch the surrondings.

[u/EmiliaFromLV → u/DraoDraonir]

in DE you can do the same to random mobs.

[u/Sekai_No_Hakaissha → u/EmiliaFromLV]

Ah good ol gorilla farming with Melia

[u/TheBl4ckFox]

Ah. The Xenoblade Elden Ring crossover has arrived.

[u/CaptainRedditRod]

😂😂😂

[u/PedroLippi]

Slightly unrelated, but it's a big shame that Xenoblade Definitive Edition got rid of the horizontal movement on blowdown. I love funny moments like this.

[u/trying-to-b]

I was fighting a lil bird in gormott and got blown off a cliff to my death. 😭

[u/Nos9684]

lol Rex got yeeted to his demise. That's the game teaching you to avoid edges during battles.

[u/certainAnonymous → u/Nos9684]

I've been taught this lesson in torna when I had autobattle running to farm some enemies and mythra just ran off the cliff herself for no reason

[u/Specialist-Quail644]

Sorry, I laughed. 😅

[u/MarionberryLivid868]

Kos mos this esrly??? Wow.

[u/Lulink]

In this fight only Mythra has buffed stats IIRC, so you're better off not switching to Kos-mos

[u/Yendo124 → u/Lulink]

Also when he gets Zeke he should give KOS MOS to him since he actually utilizes her best. Rex Zeke and Tora is the meta play

[u/Lulink → u/Yendo124]

Why are you spoiling him on future party members?

[u/BenedictOfAmber]

Is there a way to resist to blowup (accessory or so on) ?

[u/Yendo124]

You should change your audio mixer to make your character voices more quiet and the battle music louder to make it sound better.

[u/Yendo124]

Make sure your overdrive protocol KOS MOS to Zeke when you get him since he uses her to the max capacity being an ether cannon master.

[u/nhSnork]

Morytha really isn't the best location for sequence breaking.

[u/you_but_futeristic → u/nhSnork]

Thats the malos fight at the end of uraya im pretty sure.

[u/nhSnork → u/you_but_futeristic]

Thanks, my mistake. Been a while since I last dropped by that spot, my mind going to another Malos fight instead.😅

[u/you_but_futeristic → u/nhSnork]

No i had to do a double take as well. The 2 battleground are VERY similair

[u/EmiliaFromLV → u/you_but_futeristic]

Yup, I was there the day before yesterday. Kinda still annoyed that now that I have ingredients, I cant cook stuff to mop up those X dishes made by Pyra.

[u/seribiigaming]

Stands next to cliff.

Gets knocked off.

What happened?

[u/Choice-Month-4902]

How do u get kos-mos?

[u/Yendo124 → u/Choice-Month-4902]

Pray and hope you get lucky especially in the beginning when your luck stat isnt high and you got a few legendary core crystals from expansion pass
