Spent my time yesterday exploring, did a few quests, and leveling up Lao and Irina.
I want to say get the Skell ASAP - but don't. The exploration in XCX is some of the best I've ever participated in. Hoofing it through the jungle and to the south coast is some remarkable stuff... but once you DO get the Skell, it really changes everything.

Im smoking 2 racks of ribs for the next 4-5 hours, im going to go look for my credit card and if I find it dl this game. Its a win-win situation. I'll make the best of the time while im waiting for the ribs to smoke, then i'll find my credit card which I never use which for security purposes should probably be located.


update: nintendo shop doesnt take discover :mjcry:

Finally got my skell earlier this morning.

Gave it to Elma and I bought a new one for myself.
I'm still getting the hang of skell combat (read the manual, cockpit time is how you make plays)

armor is weird though. I'm not sure i get the details and potential bonuses of buying a heavy skell and putting light on armor on it.

This game is going on hiatus like Disgaea 5. I'll get back into it at some point but it's not gripping me like Xenoblade 1 did. Since Trails of Cold Steel comes out in 10 days and I wanna play that finishing the Trails in the Sky games will take priority.

Its not story oriented at all. You really gotta treat it like you would a fallout, with the main quest being a real after-thought. The side quest quality is REAL hit or miss, and there's a lot that relies on you being able to swing with enemies at least lvl 25 just to get from point A to point B. On top of that, you gotta have a decent foothold on the world itself to really feel like you have the ability to get to where you need to go.

But there is such a good game here once it clicks.

I tried out the original one on 3DS and it never clicked with me after about 15 hours...this game has me intrigued though. Playing MGS V, Fallout 4, and Final Fantasy 14 has me locked up on my gaming time, but I need a JRPG in my life now. :smugdraper:

Waiting for these updates to finish installing:beli:

Any tips for starting out?​
Dont bother adding Gathering quests to your mission list. It will drive you crazy trying to find that stuff(without google anyway).

Other than that, just have fun, explore, take in the world at your own pace. Most of the meat of the game is outside of the story.

For myself and my own playthrough, I finally got the flight module:banderas:

I got sidetracked just flying around and taking in everything.

I now see where the true beasts of the game are now:merchant: they're in the sky. I saw that 99 and literally hit the jets and flew away before I got my whole squad blown away:laugh:
