Finally restarting Xenoblade (Wii). Was really enjoying it this time. And then, Monolithsoft had to Monolithsoft.
"OK, here's break, in the center of your arts wheel, in black and white. OK, now use break so you can initiate topple. Fill up your gauge and initiate a chain attack; try to match colors in your chain attack. OK, use break against mechs. OK, now you have the Monado and don't need to break first. OK, now you need to break again against mechs with a face. You can only hurt face mechs after toppling them, so you'll have to use the Monado to initiate break, but don't use its art to initiate break. The spot where break used to be is now where the Monado special is. Now break is on the far right. It's also pink. Also you are only using arts to build up your gauge to initiate a chain attack, which is the only way to really topple a face mech. Also you don't match colors with this kind of chain attack, it's pink then green."
Seriously, that happens in like 8 minutes of game during a hectic set piece. C'mon, man.
I'm gonna do it this time (fourth try). I'm gonna see this game through. But gahdam, Monolith.
