Yes, you'll be fine. All you need to do is install one of the several region-free apps on the NeoGAF wiki and you're set.styl3s said:

Just started this. 5-6 hours in and on the ridiculously huge plains on my way to Settlement 6 or whatever it's called. Love it so far, but it's beating my ass from time to time. Of course it had to be stormy when I arrived at that bridge, so I met a huge ass monster!
A couple of notes/questions:
- Does the game respawn the enemies when I load? For some reason I'm surrounded by enemies when I load, which sucks ass. Maybe I'm saving in the wrong places..
- Damn that "I'm looking into the future" during battle gets tedious when all party members are low on health. Yes, I know this standard attack might kill me, jeez.
- I don't like the camera controls during battle either. Whenever I meet some large enemies the camera goes into a frog perspective mode and I have to manually reset it, which costs precious seconds.

came as a surprise! Love the story so far, and the vistas are impressive. Voice acting is tolerable as well, something I didn't really anticipate!

Fiora's death
1. Yeah it doesFoxHimself said:
2. This will be extremely useful in the game. It's not just to show a death, but to warn you and give you a chance to prevent it. You'll get many arts and learn many tricks that will help with this. It's very essential, but yeah, I guess it can get slightly annoying.
3. I think you can turn off auto camera adjustment in the settings? Not sure if it effects battles though. Other wise I usually just zoom out a little during large enemies

-Yes, they respawn when you load, though this can be useful when you're looking for unique monsters.FoxHimself said:
-Yeah, it's pretty tedious, but at least it allows you to know what's coming.
-Are you playing with the Mote'n'Chuck? I didn't have much of an issue with the CCPro.
-You ain't seen nothin' yet.

fuck sidequests
I'm in it for the story n explorin, bro. 70 hours each turn is enough for me
styl3s said:
upside down? you installed waninkoko's ios, didn't you? uninstall it, and start from scratch. use the homebrew wiki to a tee.
the upside down homebrew channel is an attempt to stop piracy of sorts, but I can see how it can affect innocent users.

Shit, I didn't even think about that. I need to try that tomorrow. Although playing with NunMote has been good so far.

I can't find Ice Cabbage, even though I went through all valak! I need them for the reconstruction. =(
Guys, I have a question about Alcamoth later in the game.
Thanks.
From the way all the quests there are timed and just an ominous feeling, I'm guessing Alcamoth is going to get destroyed at some point in the game. I'm about to go to Prison Island. If it does get destroyed, how long do I have before it does? I tried recruiting some people for Colony 6, but I guess it's not developed enough. I don't want to go on if all those recruits are just going to die soon.
Clevinger said:
Yeah, I'm at the exact place that you are. Lots of "timed" quests remain (most of which are the annoying "find this person" - grrrrr) and I'm not sure whether to go to the island yet. Heck, I haven't swam around the whole lake either (and I always like to fully explore an area... the lake is just too damn big and swimming too damn slow!).
Every time you hit a point where you lose access to a timed quest, the game will warn you with a "Are you sure you want to go on?" warning. Basically, if the game asks you if you think it's a good idea to continue the story, it's because it's giving you fair warning that it might not be yet.Zornica said:

Just for the record, regarding
recruits: don't worry about them.

There's occasionally one atop that stupid, impossible to walk ridge (Kana Peak), and I found another in the place you need to go for Dunban's 4th skill tree.
Hmm. Because I needed to get C6 to level 5 for a trade item that is no longer available, I came upon an extremely interesting quest.
It reminded me a lot of the end-game Baten Kaitos 1 and Origins quests that really fleshed out a lot of the backstories for the party members (which was more necessarily in the first BK game, honestly).
Is there a quest like this for every character, or is it just a one-of-a-kind sidequest?
Part of me envies you.
You find Tyrea and a lot of interesting things happen.

Just hit a bit of a snag at the (Level 75ish spoiler)
Oh well, off to do some questing. My affinity really needs raising in pretty much every area - maybe if I spend 10-12 hours doing that I'll be way over leveled for this bitch of a boss fight.
Disciple Lorithia fight. I'm currently at Level 73 - she is L75 - but the enemies that she spawns are just wasting me. Have read some strategies apparently Melia is the one to use - spamming Thunder Element - problem is I have no idea how to use her, and have not prioritised leveling up her Thunder Art. Urgh. Just lost 12 times in a row, each time in less than 60 seconds.

In case you missed it, you can get the summon thunder advanced art booktinders said:
from the High Entia Tomb in a hidden room in the hall between the Valley of Emperors and Tower of Trials Bridge.
What have you spent her points on? Thunder is good because it's very fast and deals a lot of damage, plus you can power it up with gems that increase lightning damage. For that battle you'll probably want to use some of her AOE arts too, like Fire and Wind (and summon copy obviously). I'd bring Sharla along to heal and either Riki (for ether arts, damage over time, and extra healing) or Shulk (Monado arts) as your third character. Melia will be tanking since she'll be dealing the bulk of the damage, so you'll want to plan your armor/gems/skill links accordingly. Dunban won't be able to hold aggro and Reyn will struggle and neither will be able to deal a lot of damage, so you probably won't want to use either of those.
I beat it with Shulk, 7th, and Sharla though, and while I didn't have trouble it wasn't exactly the ideal approach either.

I'm afraid it's one-of-a-kind, which is a shame because I liked it as well.ivysaur12 said:

So I just got to

I don't want to know, anyway, just had to say it.

After watching that cutscene in the tower I realised that Zanza unlocked the Monado so Shulk can Kill Fiora (and therefore Lady M.). I hope I'm wrong ;_;
