Prologue: Vector S-Division
- If you loaded XS 2 save data, be sure to equip the Vector uniform

- Take the ramp on the right first to a corridor of items
- Once back in front of the door, inside destroy the structures in order of the colors shown on the floor
- This room, branching paths lead to items, enemies block path to progress
- Battle system has become a bit more simplified to generic options of Attack, Ether (Magic), and Special Abilities that use your Boost to use
- Finishing an enemy with a Special Ability gives a 1.5x boost to the EXP and SP they drop
- The break gauge is the red bar by everyboyd’s HP, even enemies have visible HP and Break bars
- Break, in this game, doesn’t let you act, defend, boost, and drastically increases chance to receive crits
