I mentioned this in the other thread as well, but the Japanese version of this game on Switch was handled by Dangen.
This affected my decision to purchase the game. You can find out more about these past allegations if it interests you.
(MAY ONLY BE PERTINENT TO THE JAPANESE RELEASE ON SWITCH)
If other regions are unaffected, then I'll look at importing!

Game isn't like an MMO at all.
It is SET INSIDE a MMO.
Very different
This was stressing me out back when I played it before I realized I really didn't need to worry about it that much.
I general I would advise people to not worry about doing absolutely everything immediately. The game has a lot of quests that are supposed to be done "in the long run" and you can finish all content even after you beat the main story.
So DON'T STRESS. The game is at its best when you take your time, explore and LIVE in the world.

VERY VERY VERY disappointed there's no pc achievements thru windows 10. Guess it's xbox one x time. maybe i'll check off "skip tutorials in the menu" and i'll be back to where I am on pc
Manual save that's quickly accessible and usable anywhere from the start(console)/escape(PC keyboard) menu.
It has an autosave but you should save manually whenever you turn it off to be sure
IIRC it's only for making the timing window longer, which is a double edged sword - if you still miss and want to wait for the puzzle to reset, you have to wait for longer as well

Holy shit, I've been driving myself crazy because I could not find the game on the PSN. I thought it wasn't up yet, since every time I searched for Cross Code I just got a shit ton of other results. This time I decided to scroll down much further and there it was. Turns out the game is called CrossCode.
A switch patch has been submitted and should be coming out in a couple days, according to the devs. Remains to be seen how much it'll address those issues though.
Though to qualify those issues, the performance only dips in town areas, not in overworld/dungeon areas. So it's not something that affects gameplay as much (though I believe there are platforming sections in towns).
Not only can it be patched, it was already submitted. It's awaiting testing from Nintendo.
So what's the most current version on PS4 and does it address any of those issues (if it even had them, im unclear on it). I bought this today, and the version it installed was 1.01
Can't wait to play it tonite!!!

Does this apply to the sidequests too? I got into the first real exploration/combat area outside Rookie Harbor and immediately got sidetracked trying to complete all the quests I could. Some of which seemed like busy work. I wasn't sure if this was the sort of game where the expectation is you'll be taking care of sidequests to keep up in levels, or if just kind of doing the critical path with the occasional side quest would be enough.
I played an hour over lunch; I think if I hadn't played the PC version previously, I probably wouldn't have noticed it being off? The menu certainly has a noticeable pause when you open a submenu up, and some early areas had a dip in the framerate, but I didn't feel it was egregious enough to say "this game has performance issues" if this was my first experience with the game.
The downside is....I did in fact play the PC version, so I know exactly how smooth the UI should feel. Hopefully the patch comes soon and resolves it! Gameplay hasn't suffered so far, but I only just made it to the mainland so we'll see.
Having only played the Switch version I really haven't noticed much. The slight menu lag being the only obvious thing to me. This is without the patch also.
EDIT: If you don't see a Screen Size slider under the Video settings on the Switch version, restart the game. It's a known bug that's going to be fixed.

This is inaccurate. You can easily scale the Switch output as well in the game's settings.
Here's a screenshot of the option for anyone needing it:
Since the Switch version seems to have performance issues I think I'm just going to play this via Game Pass on Xbox. I tried playing it on PC Game Pass but there was some bug that wouldn't let me use a controller.
There will be a retail release in August.CrossCode

no not at all, sidequests can all be completed at the time you discover them. i never left a zone without completing everything it has to offer.
quality varies but i was having too much fun with the game to skip them
Edited my post after finding out it's a bug that may require the game to be restarted. Thanks for clarifying here as well.
A lot of sidequests, I'd at least half, have totally unique content that's of similar quality as the critical path. There's also filler "MMO" type quests, but they are distinguishable just from whether the objective is collecting X of Y. Unless you're particularly tight for time, I would recommend doing the non-collectathon quests as they appear, both because they are good and because many of them unlock ongoing quest chains. The collectathon quests can mostly be completed as you explore a new area normally, so long as you fight some monsters and hit some foliage as you go; I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to grind them out, but I would make sure to accept them as they come up.
Unfortunately some of the collectathon quests also seem to unlock chains of more interesting quests, so I would also turn those quickly as you happen to complete them.
Regarding side quests, I do want to add that, while some quest lines may start out very fetch quest-y, they do lead to more interesting challenges.

The combat sliders should be fine at 100%, that's the intended difficulty. I lowered the puzzle speed to 60%, because my reflexes and aiming aren't good enough otherwise.
