differences between navigators and main characters? (X8)

[demonshayde]

i'd always wondered what the differences, if any, were between playing as alia and armorless X, or layer and zero. never cared much for palette really, but is there a difference between her and axl?

none, its only a skin for basic form , X without armor, zero without weapons and axl = axl

that's really a shame. i wonder if it would be possible to at least swap layer's model and sound files with zero's so we can get weapons for her AND have her in the very missions she's navigator on. that'd be quite interesting.

Actually, Layer CAN use all of Zero's weapons, including Sigma Blade. Also, Palette can't transform.

ah, then i really want to unlock layer. i love zero, but i'd rather play as layer if i'm being honest. only other reason to use zero would be black armor. as for alia... i mean, i'd play her over armorless x, but the armor is too good not to use.

as for palette, i don't care for her really, so the fact that she's just a worse axl makes me think that there are better things to spend my metals on. like layer and her upgrades.
