About swapping classes: am I right in saying that your art/skill setup is saved for if/when you swap back, but your weapon will be reset to that class' default set if you didn't already have class-appropriate weapons equipped?

The map is telling me about a heart-to-heart with Irina in the industrial district that appears at night. I'm standing there now, I have Irina in my party, it's night, there's nothing in this map segment to interact with. How is this supposed to work?

The artbook's really nice too but unfortunately there's art spread across two pages and one really tight central binding.

Incidentally I assume I got some huge spoilers from reading it but at the point I'm at (post-chapter 5 and where the gently caress am I able to edit my avatar) they're still incredibly meaningless to me.

Take her out of your party, she'll show up as an NPC.

Dammit, that's exactly the opposite of how it works in the previous game, maybe telling the player about that would be nice :argh:

Edit: and then I have go and find her again if I want her back in the party again afterwards, don't I? Lovely

I'm really confused at why chapter 5 has me specifically destroy level 16 turrets while being surrounded by level 20-28 creatures.

I'm not crazy in that there's no way to equip arts for other classes, even earlier in the tree? When I swapped from Drifter at 10 I only had two arts and combat got really boring for a while. Thought it was a little dumn, then it happened again when I went up to the next rank.

There are a lot of incredibly-easy things to miss mechanically in this game because the UI is so hosed. I only noticed like 15 hours in that you can filter the inventory in shops by 'usable.' There's no way to sort gear by level or statistics, right? You can do sub menu - equip strongest gear but I have no idea what it thinks is strongest.

You have to get to level 10 tier 3 to use that classes weapons in any class. Then you just equip then as normal.

Artes are tied to weapon type so if you equip a Raygun after maxing Mastermind as a drifter you lose all Assault rifle artes and get the Raygun ones.

It's an electromagnetic storm. Without weather proof augments on equipment, it will kill you.

Any time that happens I just fast travel somewhere else and come back, usually it's gone.

I am passed chapter 3 at 10 hours and I am enjoying myself, even if some things in the game really needs you to wrap your head around it.

Do I need to worry about locking myself out of side quests as I progress in the main storyline?

Brackhar
Aug 26, 2006

I'll give you a definite maybe.

Zore posted:

In Order

1) The other party members show up on your map. All the main story dudes who have affinity quests lines and factor into the story (There are 8 who all unlock by the end of Chapter 5) will be hanging around the Administration District, people you get from sidequests tend to be in the other areas but it will show up on the map.

2) You can only accept 20 missions at a time from the board so just pick the ones that you wanna do.

3) No, its random. If you keep fast travelling it'll reroll

4) Dunban's playstyle is spread out a bit. Galactic Knights get a lot of melee combo attacks and Auras, while Gun Samurai have some of his tanking stuff. Nothing is going to be 1:1 because of the dual melee/ranged weapons and artes though, but what are you looking for? Shitkicker, Tank, Debuff inflictor?


Thanks for all the answers. In regard to your final question I'm mostly looking for complex shitkicker. I hate not doing things in battle. I typically played Dunban as DPS, not tank.

I am wringing what little dressup fun I can out of this game's clothing and armor options, which so far have been terrible. I have taken the ribbons from a stupid bikini outfit I found, and repurposed them as friendship armbands. Also, everyone is wearing racer-back tank tops, because they reflect my sporty on-the-go lifestyle.

The armor is great if you just embrace anime and put everyone in robot suits

I find that robot pants plus tank top is a winning combo and extremely anime. It's got this vibe that's like "Hoo, it sure is very hot inside that mech I just climbed out of"

I'm doing chapter 5 and gently caress if I know how to do it.

I'm like, level 21 because I blew up one turret and now it checkpointed me between two huge mech monsters. I lucked out and snuck to the second turret but when I try to cross a bridge to get to the 3rd a level 35+ walker somehow see's me across the entire map and two shots me. Like it's range for seeing me is loving absuuurd.

Black Tar is a little more agreeable in-game when you can barely hear the lyrics but I'm getting sick of it already. The other fight themes (rare, boss, etc.) are really good though.
