I am 6" 4" with kind of long arms and recently ordered a North Face XL Jacket, the sleeves were a little short for me, should i order an XL size in this jacket as well or should i go for the XXL?

How long are your arms? Ie. what size dress shirt do you wear? I wear 34/35 and the XL was just a little long for me. Maybe 1" too long so not too bad. OR stuff generally has longer arms than normal. You might also check out the Backcountry Stoic shell. It's an absolutely amazing shell, very comparable to GoreTex Pro Shell and the arms tend to run plenty long. Check 'em out, they're really amazing!Hope that helps.
