This is very very important, are there any commissarial uniforms, or at least caps, in this game

Looking at it the wrong way.
So uh, is your character name your online handle in this? Think someone said that but just want to be sure.

So far I'm liking this a lot. Lin's VA is surprisingly good despite the uncanny valley character look. My only complaint so far is the camera is a little floaty and slow but it's not bad enough that it's affected combat at all.

To the people remarking on the camera, I read that there were somewhat extensive camera settings that you could do. Maybe try doing that?

How much of an impact does preloading have? I only preloaded the "High impact" one last night somehow, and I don't feel like sitting through the other 3 packs before I play if it really doesn't matter that much and can wait til tonight when I go to sleep.

Is there a way I can just unequip fashion gear? I liked my regular items way better but for some reason the fashion gear thing doesn't show every option and is terrible

i unlocked blast fencer, and their basic melee art says it boosts damage in melee combos. does that mean it does extra damage in response to a soul voice, or what?

It means that if you use a Melee art before using that art, it will do extra damage.

I like how this game just pretty much outright tells you from the beginning "Keep doing missions and eventually you'll get a giant robot." It makes for a nice long-term motivation for progression.

Also I'm finding Lin to be more likable and endearing than I expected.

Well if you were wondering how popular this game was, I stopped by Best Buy to pick this up at 7:30 pm and couldn't find it on the shelves. They looked it up and saw they had 20 in stock so the guy went into the "game closest" and dug around for five minutes and found them. They forgot to put them on the shelves and no one had noticed.

It would be very different if we didn't have digital purchases and online shopping.

You will have to use her a lot. She's a required party member in a ton of story missions.

Proooobably a dumb question but I'll ask anyway because who the gently caress knows with Nintendo's online stuff sometimes. If I bought this on the e-shop, do I need to download that preload "DLC" or whatever?

I believe the pre-load is only for when you pre-order the game on the eShop, so you don't have to take so much time downloading the game when it actually comes out. They did the same thing for Splatoon.

Are there just like no sidequests in Chapter 3? I ran into the one for finding the stranded dues by Janpath Lake, but that was p much it. I'm assuming more show up as I go through, but I felt there would be more than just that.

No. That DLC is for people with the disc versions to help with loading times ingame. Not a dumb question though, I was wondering myself and looked it up last night :)

Go to the mission board near Blade HQ, there should be a bunch of quests there.
