160+ hours delaying chapter 10 not because I want to slow down but because I want my end game to be easier
I have more fun with a story when I don't redo fights
I want to see what NLA looks like with all the expansions finished

why they bother capping at 60 with level 99 dudes outside the walls?
I promised myself an A90 for X

what they should have done is create a fashion mode for the Skell Parts just like they do gear that way we could choose the look we like for a Heavy or Light

Finally finished the last Story chapter at 92 hours, and Level 50 for my main team (with one at 47), and it wasn't easy.
I had to lower the difficulty in the last phase, lost 3 out of 4 Skells in my team beforehand, and the partner couldn't use it, or didn't want to.
The story was enjoyable as it was; Main plot was good, some plot holes aside, but the side missions were the real meat of the game. Gameplay took some getting used to, but there are a lot of customization options in terms of moves and weapons. Liked the music for the most part (though I wished you could toggle off the flight music), as well as most of the characters; yes, even Lin and, to a lesser extent, Tatsu (but I hate the ongoing "Linly wants to cook Tatsu" jokes). I also like that you're part of someone else's story not only helping the main characters with their mission, but being shared the spotlight rather than taking over or being left in the background. Best part is they sometimes let you choose how to go about a [side] mission and how it affects the outcome (the

Nopon caravan
But the best part, in my opinion, was the sheer size and scale of the world, and there is little loading time involved except for going to your barracks, missions, or fast-traveling.
That, itself, is impressive.
MAJOR Post-Story spoilers(!):
1)
Shame that Lao isn't an available partner anymore for obvious story reasons. I have Gwin and Alexa in his place, but still...
2)I would like to say that
True Form Elma is best Elma! I'm absolutely keeping that look for her.
Now it's onto the end-game stuff. I barely even touched the crafting stuff that let's you make your own gear and Skells, since I don't have enough materials anyway. Need to get to Level 60 to buy those Skells, increase my income and miranium production, try out the other weapon classes and, of course, join you guys for some online play.
Phew. I think I need a short break before coming back, since there are other games in my backlog to play but I don't want to put it down.
This was a really fun game, overall.

I saw a huge ash grey looking long neck dino dude for the first time at night right outside the city at a read level 97 T_T
SOON!
Just make sure to save all your reward tickets and to do squad missions whenever you can. That will make it a lot faster to get it in the end.

doing a poor job of saving those oh well
I keep getting disconnect every few hours from Online as well
So near as I can tell the only 'missable' stuff is related to chapter 9. Spoilers for that chapter (obviously):
.
I saw this coming and didn't save after the end of the chapter,
Hasn't been a waste of time though, I've enjoyed a lot of these sidequests and I almost got enough hearts in
SOON.
Lao leaves the party, assuming permanently since in retrospect he is very easy to max out affinity for and all his bonus Arts/affinity quests are unmissable
I saw this coming and didn't save after the end of the chapter,
so since then I've been going back and cleaning up random missions/leveling up Lao's affinity for his heart to hearts. They are pretty inconsequential and I don't think they affect percentage completion, but hey why not. I doubt there's anything at all important tied to him but if there is please let me know so I can take care of it before moving on.

Nagi for Blossom Dance.
I didn't even get to watch his heart to hearts because Ive no idea where they were. Infact i don't know where anyone's is outside of Elma. That said i knew what i was getting into, i just accepted that i wasn't going to see them.

So I bought the 2 heavy frame level 30 Skells and tried one out and I don't like how clunky and slow the heavy frames feel. :/
I'll just give those two to Elma and Lin and I'll roll with the free one until I get more money to upgrade to a better light or medium one.

That sounds like a HUGE positive.The one drawback of beating the game is that you'll never get to pick how Tatsu is cooked today
Lin is okay... sorta. Tatsu is terrible. Lin + Tatsu is abysmal.

More like the best reason to finish the game
I'm still legit baffled by how many times they repeated that joke. Even if they LOVED it back at the office, you'd think someone would have gone "hey guys, it's literally the 20th time we're making the same potato-Tatsu joke, maybe we should come up with something new?" lol

With the help of translation machine and my limited knowledge of Japanese (still learning), it should feature official artworks, unpublished settings, interviews, production materials and short story written by Yuichiro Takeda, the chief scenario writer of XCX.

Took me a few reload (5-10'ish) of NLA and to the terminal to make the quest appear.

I unlocked the flight module at like 1:30am last night. It was glorious. First thing I did was to fly around to some of the scenic viewpoints. I'm making so much money now that I'll easily be able to buy the level 50 skells once I get my level there.
No need to save your money. By the time you can buy skells you should be rolling in dough. Whne I reached level 30 I bought a skell, new weapons, a new armor set, and a full set of armor and weapons for my new skell.

Especially since they started with that like 20 seconds after finding a bunch of dead bodies.
"Oh no, our squad mates were murdered by aliens. . . tee hee that little guy looks like a potato!"
I use light and medium for my level 30. They really don't cut it at 50 for anythign post game. Even in the last chapter they died pretty fast, last chapter was still a joke difficulty wise tough.
If you wanna do some post game you absolutely need heavy only.

I'm increasing enjoying how the world is setup. Most game worlds are clearly designed for the player in regard to how they'll go from A to B, etc. While some of that is present here it increasingly feels you are entering the territory of these creatures and that they've staked out their own corner of an area. You have some just grazing and others that seems like they're actively patrolling their borders. The npcs actually talks about this and how you really are forcing these creatures out of their habitats. It's one thing to say it though and another for the game world to actually reflect that and to make you feel that really is the case.
I really like that in order to get to some areas you have to sneak pass or rush pass some creatures. I like to imagine it as if they've found a good and dry spot and were strong enough to take it and keep it from all the other creatures in the area. So you have to go through their territory to get where you need to go and back to creatures that are more your level. Love stuff like this.

I heard good things about Hope and Irinia is already the best in the game.
Psycorruptor best class confirmed.
Just got past Chapter 5
The
explained a lot of the perceived plot holes I had early on about the whole re-colonization plan. Really raised the stakes to find the lifehold
- Music is great so far, haven 't run into a track I hate yet. I even kind of enjoy that weird barnyard Tatsu song
- Underestimated the impact of affinity missions. They're hurt by the weird choice to just have the characters stand completely still
Some negatives
- no easy load save option. Used it a lot in original XC when trying to face a boss.
- Really miss Vision/Chain attacks, but battles are much faster in XCX
- Having to find party members. They should be swappable once you gain the option to have them in your party. Unnecessary tedium in a game that mostly gets time saving right.
Is there an auto-optimize equipment option in this?

So the data packs refuse to download on my console, giving me a "server error" every time. Does the game run alright without them or am I fucked?
It runs fine, just long load times
you sure you can't even download just the 2GB basic pack?

I heard there's a lot of other kinda missable stuff, inconsequential maybe but still...
For example in the quest where
you choose to spare or kill a den of baby pigs, if you spare them, the quest giver NPC dies permanently. This isn't exactly a missable I suppose, but it does lose you an NPC.
And I've heard there are a lot of breadcrumb quests that are there to take you back to base to pick up a new main quest, and they do have checkmarked/tracked entries, something like that.
Same!
Some reviewers and players felt frustrated about that but for me it's a BIG pro of the game. As the player I'm adventuring into beasts territory as a stranger, that's not dysney land but really Jurassic park
Yeah, if they had an approach more like in Persona 3 or 4, it would've been better.
The Mc is also silent but he still matter.
Or just let us be Elma, lel

For some reason my console just refuses to download them and repeatedly gives a server error, despite the fact I literally just downloaded Fast Racing NEO the other day. If it's just long load times that it remedies though then I don't mind dealing with that!
I'm similar, trying to get as many side quests out of the way as possible before continuing on with the main story. About 5:30 in, level 10-12, in the middle of Chapter 3. I've gotten most of the quests given from the node computer thing and I've taken on a couple of NPC quests as well. The game has so many systems and it's a lot to take in, I need to read up on how to build up NLA, so far I've only dumped a little bit of Miranium into the weapons development (AF development..I think? It said something about how just equipping stuff will get me points?) but I haven't checked to see what else I can dump points into.
Does every octagon on the map have a fast travel point? I've unlocked a few by just walking normally and finding a landmark, other times I just set the beacon if my level is high enough. There are some where I feel like I've explored most of it but they don't unlock the fast travel point. For some of them I'm guessing I have to climb up onto one of the mountains but I can't because to get to the one I want I have to cross a land bridge meaning I have to climb a different one which in turn means it's often guarded by high level indigens
I had issues with that too, are you trying to download all the packs in one go? I found the large bundled download caused issues but when I broke them up and downloaded one at a time I ran into no issues.

I like how you can scale some mountains/hills by just jumping across the small outcroppings and try to stealth your way up
-You don't need a load save option, if you die, the game just resets you at the nearest landmark with everything you had gained intact.
-In the ground gear menu you can press X to get a new menu which contains an "equip strongest" option and also the fashion gear menu which lets you override the look of your armor.

What race is Elma supposed to be? Latin, maybe?
It doesn't matter but I'm curious. Looks darker than a tan, but her face structure is the same as every other character. Due to this she kinda looks ganguro...
