You got Riki then (30%)? Hmm. That's all the playable characters met now then. You're about to reach, quite possibly, the most amazing looking area in the game, and that's saying something! Also the biggest with some pretty epic music. But the Forest is cool. It has 4 hidden areas, and plenty of secrets for later in the game (noticed the lv. 95 dinosaurs? )

I'm glad you're enjoying it. The story sorta picks up in the next area as well, as you'll be up against the main story pretty soon again. And don't you say Riki is annoying! He's the best character! "You can do it!", for example, is the best Art in the game...and he can steal ANYTHING (exp., TP etc...)

As an aside, been doing many of the sidequests? Some people seem to have taken a distaste to them, which is a shame. But you'll likely find that you're filling up skill trees now, so...

I don't mind the side quests at all... as they're mostly Kill ____/Find ____ so what I do is just head to the nearest town, talk to everyone who will give me a sidequest, and then continue on the main story. I mean 80% of the quests can be done just by doing what you'd normally do anyways, do it's not that big of a deal. Right now I thought I'd go and start the "Rebuilding Colony 6" quest.

Also, I quite enjoy the British voice actors. From an American point of view, it adds to the game's exotic atmosphere, which is nice. As for Riki, I don't mind him per se... but his voice is just annoying.

And yes, I saw those Lv. 95 dinosaurs... I'm just glad that they're passive for now. Scared the crap outta me when I had to pass one to get to the "dinobeast".

Yeah, it's the same with me. I did most of them without even realising it. Went straight to the settlement and collected the quests, then continued with the story. It was fairly simple. The more complex ones were the 'guilds', or quest-chains of more than 7. The Colony 6 sidequest is the best BTW. Inviting all of the people to live there is a challenging quest in itself...

Soon the storng monsters won't be passive, so you'd best be careful. Attack on site lv. 100? At level 50??? That's scary. Running away whilst your party members slowly die...
