I want Mamapon in my party, though I understand that she is too powerful and would make the game too easy.

I just spent a half hour running/hopping up mountains Skyrim style to get to a data probe that I figure you needed a flying Skell to get to. I finally reach the field and it's... level 5

Beat the game tonight and on the whole it's really good albeit it's got a lot of dumb design issues to it. The whole thing fell a bit flat to me though because the last boss was an aggravating pile of poo poo. Without going into any real detail but spoiling it just because, gently caress this game's targetting system so loving hard, gently caress! I had 5 attempts fail just due to not being able to target the giant loving thing instead of the massive add pile-up surrounding it. Got it eventually, it was the only thing I had to turn the difficulty down for.. This is my hot tip to everyone who hasn't gotten there yet, get level 50 before you start chapter 12. I was 49 when I went into it and the difference that being level 50 and having the new skell frames available then would have been bonkers. On the upside the giant hassle of that last chapter killed pretty much any desire to do post game poo poo so there's that I guess.

Yeah I've been out of default skell for a while, bought an Urban cos I liked the looks better. Been rocking the Gbustah which is hella fun.

It is very inconsiderate that you park your skell right in the middle of an intersection if you fast travel to the commercial district. Must give the BLADE department of urban planning fits.

If you fast travel to the chapel, all of your Skells are parked neatly in the parking lot.

Yesterday I was running around in my robbit, speeding towards people to ask them if they had seen a cat.

I just did the BFFs mission post chapter 5. That was...a pain point, particularly finding the caravan in Oblivia. Well, I got it done, but I wonder if I went about it the wrong way.

I had a level 50 skell by the start of chapter 9. I might be playing this game weird. Also Urban is good but it feels kinda intense. Basically if you stack evasion you'll dodge 99% of everything thrown at you but all it takes is for the wrong attack to get through for splat times. I think I might go for dual evade up shields to minimize my time not being the dodgiest giant slab of metal.

I know it improves the value of soul heals and TP-using arts on the ground, but nothing uses TP when in Skell. But it can't be just for soul heals, so does it just affect EVERY attack? Attacks while in Overdrive? What?

Also I found a shoulder mounted revolver cannon for my Skell so I'm happy. So many cool weapons that are rare-ish drops most players will never see. I wish the Wrothian SICK MECH FLAME BOW wasn't absolute garbage. It's got like 800 force, takes the right shoulder slot, only does thermal damage and does a single shot. BUT IT LOOKS SIIIIICK.

Who needs any other (early) shoulder weapons but BREAKER BLADE!  I'm nearly at level 30, is there a particular Heavy better than the other models or should I just go right for burning half a million credits on an Amdusias ST?

If you see the sidequest Spy Games become available, the level requirement lies. Don't do it until you have a full set of Level 30 party members. Or are able to get sneaky with bringing a Skell in past hostiles  .

So i'm not sure what's more bullshit, all the hoops you have to jump through to get the Skell License in the first place, or getting the flight model which is ALSO bullshit But they make you do it by yourself

Isn't the flight module mob drops which means you can buy them with tickets. I think I already had everything but one when I started anyway and just grabbed the last at the barracks.

Are there videos anywhere of probes you can access entirely on foot pre-skell? Youtube has seemingly nothing for this game which confuses me to no end. I'm dumb as hell and really bad at maps/exploration/whatever and find it endlessly frustrating the instant I reach a hex and don't see the screaming satellite beam demanding me to fry my brain with its hell-laser. How do I pass this massive waterfall in northern Noctila? Is that a giant hand? What is happening I just want to unlock my beam skills

Must give the BLADE department of urban planning fits. In real-world Los Angeles (and plenty of other cities) many major surface street intersections are designated as emergency helicopter landing sites, complete with central traffic control clearing it with all-way emergency stop signals, and any group important enough to be treated like XCX's player party is probably important enough to have access to such a feature. Presumably fast travel in-game doesn't happen in 'real time'.

It resets all your attack cooldowns (and makes you invincible for the duration, but that's less relevant.)

So my wife is probably going to get me this game for Christmas this year. I have one question about the basic combat system. Does combat ever feel like you are just standing around or at most repositioning yourself without any buttons to press because you are waiting for cooldowns? I heard that the basic attack is fully automated and that kinda concerns me when it comes to my combat preferences. I want to feel like I am actively involved in the combat constantly and I cannot tell what to expect based on the videos that I have seen.

Once I had settled on a build and levelled up the arts i was using to 3 or 4 out of 5 levels I generally felt fairly busy.

Thanks for the tips. I do really wish that they would have just binded the basic attack to a button. That makes a big difference for me. I'll aim for Full Metal Jaguar and hope that helps. My preference leans more towards PSO action combat than say MMO FF XIV combat so we'll see.
