BASIC MISSION CATCHUP

 

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - https://youtu.be/sSQ-2OqfmKw

 

It had to happen sometime.

 

Despite how things looked today, there is actually a finite number of basic missions available per chapter. There are not infinite missions in the game unless you count squad missions. It's just that I've been slacking on this particular category for a while and we're at the end of the game anyway. Pretty much everything is available at this point, even the missions that I think are way too hard. (By the way, the original level cap for this game was 60. Of course, that only applied to party members, not foes, so there was a lot that I didn't do on that playthrough because it just felt too challenging. That will probably not be the case this time around.)

 

I don't know why Fathers and Sons was a mission for Irina, but I suspect we'll find out with her next Affinity Mission. In the meantime, it was a funny mission that matches entirely with the business plan that we got onboard way earlier in the game. Hey, it's a mim, you can make it look however you want. (So long as the result is human.) Similarly, I don't get why the mission title for Lin's mission was Two Peas in a Pod, but holy cow that's a strong weapon we got from it. Yeah, it takes an insane amount of fuel, but 200,000 damage to all foes in a straight line is ridiculous. I definitely like how it can obliterate entire groups of small foes (so long as they're not Beam immune) in a single shot.

 

And we got more story even with the Normal Missions, as those were also parts of chains. I wonder if that was it for The Duel? Probably not, from the way things were phrased, but it really could go either way. And for Planetary Pioneer, I strongly suspect we'll get the rest of the lore after chapter 12, the original end to the game. Unfortunately, I don't expect that we'll actually get a major upgrade on the FrontierNav, but we probably will at least get something from Kirsty.
