Now comes the time to kit your team out with the goodies you purchased earlier. Each merc can carry a limited amount, so again a balancing act between luggage space and firepower will be needed. The interface lets you transfer belongings in the field easily though, so there's no need to lose too much sleep over the process. Setting up your merc's inventories to cope with the tasks ahead is engrossing - reminds me of customising each character's inventory in Final Fantasy VII, and the interface works in a similar way too. It is always a process of compromise - should I load up with plenty of ammunition, or hope to find some along the way? Will one rocket be enough to take out that boat? Will I need a character with good medical skills, or can I avoid getting shot up? It will often take a few attempts to get the balance right.
