The thing is, if monolith doesn´t have any plans to continue developing the story then everything in XCX story wise feels lazy. If they leave things the way they did and they don´t have a sequel planned then monolith did a very poor job with the story, because not only did they took until the very last chapter to reveal why the ganglion were afraid of humans and the truth about the lifehold core, but also the computer that contained all the info about humans was destroyed since the beginning of the game (which should result in the malfuntion of the mimeosome units, but it doesn´t because who knows why) and they decided to reveal that at the very ending, leaving everyone with more questions than answers, and they better have something planned for those questions.

I have faith that they will make a sequel, if they don´t then they are just lazy and they didn´t care about the story since the beginnig

And so I got my Ares 90. It was not that hard, really, had enough tickets to buy almost everything except for the Crude Nailneil Masks or something like that. You can only get these at one Time Attack Mission, and it's quite hard to beat to say the least,  but you can scout 400+ Potential avatars and you should be able to beat the respective enemies in no time. 

Try to not press the HOME button oftenly and avoid investing too much time in the menus. 

I like Lin&Tatsu silly jokes. Don't hate me.

What's a good spot to find level 20-22 enemies? Having trouble atm.

Star ciniculas in central Noctilum are easy and at that level. Alternatively, hunt high 20's-low 30's insidias in central Oblivia.

They're a guilty pleasure of mine too on several occasions :P .  I definitely prefer the frenemy feel here more than the first game desperately trying to force me to love Riki.  

I love when Linly wants to cook Tatsu.

Someone needs to find the Head of Personnel recruitment for the white whale and make sure he or she never works again, add to that whom ever was in charge of the psych reports.

Exactly , some of the sane ones aren't much better  you have two indigens fighting over territory , now  any one with commonsense would do  away with one indigen and the territorial dispute is over , but no the idiot scientist says you have to kill both because he doesn't know who's who.

I learned an important lesson though , no matter what henious crimes your fellow blades may commit you have to let them run away or forgive them , and what ever you do never tell those in charge about it , also don't worry if your actions leads to more deaths.
