Xenoblade Chronicles X

- If you have a disc copy you can go to the eShop and download DLC that installs game content to the hard drive.

- Read the manual. Seriously it has a lot of info the game never explains.

- For Basic missions never pick up a gathering missions because you can obtain the items before even taking up the mission. Every once in a while just check the gathering missions listed and accept anything that you already have the materials for.

- For any Normal mission that requires you to collect something just look up the area to get it because you're never given a hint on where to find certain collectables.

- Once you master the last class in a line you have access to that classes weapons for all other classes so there's no reason not to switch classes and try to master them all.

- Arts you unlock are tied to specific weapons but Skills are usable for all classes.

- Affinity missions will also unlock Arts for you to use so it's worth doing them when they appear (Not to mention they're usually pretty fun compared to Normal or Basic missions)

- When you look at the map you will see that some segments are highlighted and some are not in NLA. Each of those slightly-brighter segments has going to be something done there, whether a quest, Affinity Mission, or Heart-to-Heart.

- On the map view for non-NLA places they have different Icons. The icons that look like documents(Normal Mission) and two hands shaking (Affinity Mission) does not mean that there's a mission to pick up from there. Instead it just means you'll be going there for a mission that you pickup elsewhere.

- Also every once in a while do upkeep on your Frontier-Nav probes. You'll need them for certain quests (Like have Frontier-Nav produce 150,000 credits) as well as Miranium and income. These quests aren't story-related at all, but it's worth persuing them anyway just as a reminder to sort your probes around to better spots and upgrade them once in a while.

- Make sure you bring Gwin on missions and get his affinity up to at least one heart, because it's a requirement for one of the endgame story missions.
