You are doing it wrong then. Can't believe they forgot to put a monsterpedia in the game.

Let me repeat all unique monster respawn. Which ones are you looking for? I can check where they are in a super secret spreadsheet!

The tirkin king dude in the tirkin headquarters. I killed him way back, I went back to his spot a ton of times, just recently after doing most of the story and he has yet to respawn. It is Vanguard something.

Stupid Iga, dont you think I have done that A MILLION TIMES ALREADY.

When you enter a new town area, talk to everyone, get all the quests first then go out and destroy everything. There aren't that many unique monsters that don't respawn, you just have to look hard enough or warp there and back etc, try different times of night, day etc.

Is there anyway to get rid of that Story Memo thing that pops up in the top middle of the screen?

Don't you just press the Z button or something when the menu is up to read it then it goes away?

Can you at least tell us what these areas are without spoiling them? Hint?

No GG its a glitch and you have to be at the spot of the monster and save and load at that very spot for it to come back.

Glitch or no gltch that works on all uniques. Did I not tell you to save and reload? Stupid Vader for not listening!

Why would you not do on the spot? How would you know it worked?

I thought you meant just saving and reloading in the section. I didnt know you had to be standing exactly where the monster should be.

Why would you go to the trouble of all that walking? Just save there and reload!

Cause I only save and reloaded when I would stop and turn off the game. I never did it like a glitch exploit.

I press Z to read the Story Memo but it still stays there. It'll disappear when I get to the next story marker but I'd rather it just disappear as soon as I read it once so I can have the arrow up instead.

Been putting in some serious time into the game this weekend and totally loving it. I'm about 23 hours in, level 33, starting the jungle area, and have rebuilt some of Colony 6. The music in the game is fantastic. Very large, sweeping areas the make for some excellent vistas. The combat is fast-paced and exciting that while the camera can be a bit irksome in certain situations there have been some epic battles. I do wish that there was an easy way to see and compare exactly by how many points your stats change when equipping your characters though.

Just completed the sequence with Juju, Otharon and the Ether River. Don't know how many hours at the moment. I've stopped doing quests --UNLESS-- they are Timed Quests, so my Experience isn't increasing --AS-- fast. I am encountering enemies just 2 Levels below me for the most part and the challenge is perfect.

One thing I don't quite get, even after reading the tutorial screens again and again is: How do you handle Visions in Battle? I kinda get you are supposed to use Shield when it is a White Named Talent Attack they are going to use... But Blue and Red named attacks still elude me. Blue is Ether so... What? Get Sharla to Cast the Cure and Debuff Protection? Red, I see you can warn your teammates, but then what? You can choose skills of theirs, but it nevers seems to be enough to stop the attack. Don't know what I am doing wrong... Are there times when you are supposed to use the Speed Up Monado Skill rather than shield? Don't get it.

Yeah use Shield for the white talent attacks and Speed for the red attacks, at least that's what I've been doing. I'm not really sure about the blue ether attacks. I'm using the Wii-mote and nunchuck.

What does the green bar that increases when you do a gentle flame do in gem crafting?

Oh yeah I was wrong about my game time. It was 28 hours instead of 23. I'm currently level 34 with 29 hours.

Do a chain attack and use a break attack then a topple.

One word of advice that hopefully won't reach you too late: Try to get all of the collectibles in the Ether Mine --BEFORE-- getting on the Escape Elevator. I was missing ONE of the Machine Pieces and a cut-scene happens which effectively closes off most of the mine. Once you leave the mine, yet another cut-scene and battle happens... After getting through all of this I noticed the missing piece, went back into the beginning parts of the mine (around the Test areas) and for the life of me, I couldn't find that last piece. I went back to a save about 30 minutes prior and got the collectible in 30 seconds... of course, then I had to go through all of the cut-scenes, battles and areas of the upper part of the mine I discovered in my lost progress save... I guess it was worth it though; I want to 100% all of the collectibles in the areas.
