As someone who's still waiting on the PC release, it's kind of disheartening to see a new mission start up again before a lot of folks have a chance to complete it or will be starting it late rather. That said, I have a question for CAST players about the mission pass and the part sets in the tiers. Is it possible to collect a full set within the time available? Or can you can only choose one or two through the whole pass and game extend? Since humanoid body types get the full ensemble, CAST have to collect the head, arms, legs and body.

@landman Completely in lore/canon. You receive tidbits of this lore from Risa over the course of the game.

Generally speaking the CAST are Humans and Newmans that have gone through the process of becoming a CAST. In Gen 1 ARKS the process was more of a necessary measure for those who couldn't handle an overabundance of Photons while for current Gen 3 ARKS it's more common these days for someone to simply go through the transfer by choice. Whether they take measures to lessen the effect of the memory loss or have personal logs kept just in case is entirely possible.
